LIQUID Air Demonstration.

Prof. Willis Elliott Reynolds, former
ly Of Chicago, but late Of Washington,
ID. G., comes to the Opera House Satur-
day night, March l4th, in his most
popular of all lyceum attractions,
Liquid Air.n Strange as it may seem,
the LIQUID air which will be used at
this demonstration is at present float
ing peacefully over the city Of Wash
ingtOn, waiting to be liquiiied by
means Of powerful machinery; then
conveyed In curious Dewar bulbs TO
this city and made to do many wonder
full things before our astOnished gaze.
The entire process Of liquefaciion Of or
binary air, its practical uses in this
state, and commercial value will be
treated ON in simple language, making
the entertainment highly instructive
one as we'll as q thoroughly amusing
one, for some Of the experiments pro-
duce very laughable effects. Among
some of the interesting demonstrations
10 be performed are humorous expert
ments with steaks, eggs, fruits, onions,
rubber balls, strips Of tin and copper,
flowers, etc, which when frozen in
liquid air become as brittle as glass fly
into many pieces when dropped upon
the floor. Alcohol, whiskey etc,
usually considered to be difficult to
freeze are made into icicles and even
the liquid metal, mercury is frozen so
hard in twenty seconds that 1t Is
readily used as a hammer with which
nails are driven; for the temperature OF
LIQUID air is 3l2 degrees below zero. In
order to show the exceedingly paradox
zeal properties of the material, steel
pens, clock springs, etc, are consumed
at a temperature Of 5000 degrees above
zero in tumbler made Of ice while
cranberries are frozen In the same YES
sci at temperature of 3l2 degrees be-
low zero and Notwithstanding these
two extremes in direct contact with
each other, the ice cup remains intact.
Spectacular displays with the liquid
air boiler, fountain, and the burning
of hair felt, explosion Of cotton, cigars
and other marvellous experiments In
combustion and expansion are indeed
worth going miles to see. The enter
tainment comes to US highly recon-
mended and a good time is promised
all who attend. Popular prices will
prevail.

Another Fire.

Mrs. w. r. Berkeley lost her kitch-
en- by fire at an early hour Of last Fri
day morning. About l;3O a. M, the
blaze was noticed by DR.. Anderson just
as he was entering bis home. He
Immediately gave the alarm and ran to
the rescue. A crowd soon gathered,
the fire department responded quickly,
a large stream Of water was turned on
the burning house, and all the ada
cent buildings were entirely protected
AT one time two tree tops were ablaze,
but with those exceptions the fire spent
its fury on the kitchen, which with its
contents was entirely consumed.
The night was calm, the fire boys
prompt and efficient so that a disas-
trous confagrstion was averted. The
origin of the fire is entirely unknown.
Loss covered by insurance.

Circuit Court.

The spring term Of the circuit court
for the county of Prince Edward, met
on last Monday, the 2nd inst, Judge
Hundley presiding.
The docket was larger than 1t had
been for some previous terms though
small when compared with those OF
former years. Our people are some
how learning to deny themselves the
luxury of litigation.
There was not even one criminal
case on the docket, and no question OF
public interest was involved in any
case on the common law or chancery
docket.
A few INDECENT and worthy ex-Con-
federates were allowed pensions.
The following lawyers from other
counties were in attendance upon the
sessions Of the court; Hons. h. T..
Hubbard and w. c. Franklin, Messrs.
T. T.. Watkins, Walter Watson, A. b.
Dickinson and G. S. Wing.
Judge Watkins and Mr.. A. b. Arm
strong were present during the earlier
DAYS Of the session, but returned to
Richmond before adjournment OF the
court.

Tobacco Factory Burned.

AT Z o'clock Wednesday morning
fire totally destroyed the large four
story factory belonging to Nj. Aben-
helm & Co., Of New York, and used
by w. q. Huntington as storage
house.
The origin Of the fire Is not known.
No work had been done 10 the building
for several weeks and consequently
there was no need for fire there
The fire fighters did good work In
keeping the flames from communie1,
ting with the near by buildings The
factory was not in thickly settled por-
ton Of the town, and il it had been
the control Of the devouring flames
would not have been probable. COx's
livery stable was in greatest danger OF
igniting, but the brave work Of those
in charge Of the three excellent streams
OF water kept back the raging flames.
In less than an hours time the big fac
tOry-one of the largest in Farmville-
was reduced to smoulderng ruins.
Not a thing was saved from the
building. There was said to have been
about 400, 900 pounds Of strips stored in
the building which would represent
over half million pounds Of tobacco
as it comes from the warehouse floors,
and said to be worth nearly $50, 1000.
1t is not announced authoritatively,
however, how much tobacco went up
in smoke or what the loss over the
insurance which was $4,000.
A policy insuring the building for
81 200 was but few days ago issued
by Messrs. w. p. Venable & Co., and
sent to the owners in New York. The
premium charges being considered too
high the policy was returned to the
agents rejected, and was received here
q few hours after the building was
burned

A Loyal Wife.

Charles Singleton, deserving color
ed man, died at his home in this place
at an early hour of last Saturday, and
was buried from the First Baptist
church, colored, on Sunday afternoon,
He had been sick long time and SUI
fered greatly. During his entire illness
his devoted wife ministered to his ev-
cry want with tender care and loving
loyalty which excited the admiration
of q number of white friends who knew
Of her daily self sacrifices and heroism.
Such example should prove an inspi-
ration to members Of her own race who
watched her struggles in behalf Of an
invalid husband.
1t gives us genuine pleasure to make
this mention Of such wifely devotion,
and we beg to tender our sympathy in
this her hour of great sorrow.
