3 {. : H u /. =
BLACKSTONE, VA, April 1S.-rhe po-
liucal situation hore as regards the un-
expired legislative term Is stu IN an I'M
certain condition The withdrawal Of
Colonel Haskins from tho contest as pre-
y!ously reported in this correspondence.
LEFT only Mayor II. ID. Leo. OF crewe. In
the field. The election being ordered by
the Speaker OF the House for tho 9Th
of May did not give su fhclent time IN
which to hold a primary. Suggestions
wero made to him to withdraw the. writ.
Whether or not this has been done is
not known at this writing.
Since tho withdrawal OF Colonel Has
klns efforts have been made to induce
others to enter the race against Mr.. Lee,
but SO far no definite person has been
fixed upon to oppose him. It Is the pre-
valling opinion now that he will be. the
only candidate for the unexpired term,
but for the regular term. the election
for which comes Off In November, there
will doubtless be more aspirants for the
honor.
Aspirants for the different county offi-
GERS, the election for which has been
changed by the new Constitution from
May to November, arc beginning to loom
up already. and the indications at this
time point to q warm contest In that
field also. 1t Is thought all the present
officers will be candidates to succeed
themselves. and 1t may be that all will
have opposition, Some public announce
ments have already been made.
Very good success Is being made to-
wards securing the rights Of way for the
seaboard Air Line and from here to
Chase City. Originally the two enter
prIses were under different management,
but short time ago a combination was
effected by which both are under a COM
mon head 5a
Those behind these enterprises are all
local parties, who recognize tho impor-
lance of the new connections and the
new territory to be opened up. An ar
rangement has been made with q New
York trust company by which, bonds. u
they can be satisfactorily floated, for an
amount nearly sufficient to construct the
road after all the rights OF way have
been secured. The floating of the bonds
il conditioned upon this latter.
Public roads In this section are reported
worse than eyer known before, IT being
almost impossible to pass over them in n
vehicle in may places. The recent
freshet carried away several small
bridges In this county, which are now
being replaced. Under policy adopted
by the board of Supervisors few years
ago all tho large bridges are OF iron and
placed sufficiently high so as to be above
the reach of the highest water, There Ia
only one wooden bridge OF any size left
IN the county and this will doubtless be
rebuilt Of iron when q new one becomes

William a. Clark Accused Of
Breach OF Promise.

Case Has Been Tried Once In Secret,
but Miss Men ellis Now Wants to
Renew the Suit-story
Has Leaked Out.

A special dispatch to the Philadelphia
tor William a. Clark, Of Montana tho
Copper King and multi-1nlll lonaire,
should have been sued by New York
woman In the Supreme Court OF this
county for $4,000 damages for breach OF
promise, and that the trial should have
been held moro than a year ago, and con-
Quoted with so much secrecy that not
5woEd of 1t ever reached the ears Of the
public, may seem strange, but Is never
theless fact.
The story was dvulged when the first
step was taken by the womans lawyer
to have her case reopened and tried pub
licly. Her name Is Mary McNellis. and
she admits that she rs past thirty-slx."
Miss McNellls gave her5 testimony In
her suit before James l.. Bishop referee,
appointed by tile Supreme Count on
March LIST. last year. She told Of her
meeting the Senator at the Democratic
National Convention in Chicago in 1896;
OF attentions she alleges he subsequently
lavished upon her; of bouquets and bas-
kets of fruit and tender missives he sent
her.
Senator Clark. who Admitted having
known Miss McNellis for long time. de.
MED that he had ever promised to marry
+ her. The Senator Is sixty years old a
WldoWer and has five children.
IT Is now alleged In behalf Of Miss Nc
Nellis that she was induced to forego a
jury trial OF her suit on the ground that
publicity would hurt her, and that It
would be better to try 1t before q referee
and 1t was accordingly tried before Mr.,
Bishop.
Finally. a decision was rendered against
hor, but she says she was never so In
formed until the time to appeal had
elapsed. Subsequently she was informed
an agreement had been renohed with Sem
attor Clark not to appeal tho case, and
thIt In accordance with that agreement
an the letters and papers In the case had
been handed to him, She was also told
that Senator Clark would make some set
Element with her. g6s5
Miss McNells asserts that although
promised money from time to time she
never received any. While Miss NlcNellis'
time in which to appeal has expired, she
wants to make n motion for new trial
on the ground Of newly discovered evil
dence To-day an application was made
to Justice Davis In the Supreme Court to
compel tho former attorney OF Miss Nc
Nells to deliver to her nll the papers and
testimony IN order that she may move
for now trial. @ S
The attorney made no appearance and
Justice Davis granted the motion by de-
