Through her attorneys, ex-Congress-
man Rhea, OF Bristol; J. NJ. Quarles
and others, Mrs. Olivia Thurman, wife
of General Charles Thurman, of Berry
vile, brought suit at Stanton for al
legged damages in the sum of $50, 900
against her husband and Robert p.
Page, NJ. Mccormick and A. Moore, jr.,
all ofClarke county. The suit was brought
because of the alleged illegal comnittal
of herself to the Western State Hospital
last summer. The suit has produced
sensation at Staunton and Berryyille,
where the parties are well known.
Mrs. Thurman has another suit pend
ing, in which she seeks divorce and ali
mony from General Thurman, charging
that he had secured her committal to the
asylum for the insane through intrigue,
and when he knew she was perfectly
sane Her charges in this connection
are dramatic and sensational in the ex-
treme. General Thurman is a promi-
nent citizen of Virginia, and lawyer of
note. Mrs. Thurman, since she brought
suit for divorce, following her release
from the insane asylum, has resided with
her sister in Bristol.

Confederate Muster Rolls.

off all the camps in the country will
exercise the same care and vigilance in
the preservation of Confederate records
that has been taken by the county OF
Rockbridge." said Major Robert w.
Hunter, of Winchester, "there is little
doubt that we soon shall have the mus
ter rolls complete.
"Here is letter from Lee-Jackson
Camp, Lexington, which shows that
names of members of companies, COM
manders of battalions, regiments and
brigades are properly recorded in the
records of Rockbridge. The work has
been done with care and regard to de-
tail.
81 have just received another valu-
able batch of information. 1t came
from Colonel George K. Griggs, of
Danville, and is the muster roll for the
Thirty-eighth Virginia infantry. 1t is
complete in every detail so far as l
have examined it.
"But Rockbridge county has gone
even farther. Not only are the names
of the members of all the companies
preserved, but the names of all soldiers
from that county are giyeu-thus, if a
Rockbridge man joined any other COM
pany, bis name and company we're put
down. If other men came to the county
from other States or counties they also
were put down, along with their COM
mands."
Mayor Hunter is getting things into
frst-class shape and much matter relat-
ing to the civil war is being received.
He wants to get all the records possible,
and asks papers throughout the State
to request persons who have records of
companies or regiments 10 toward them

The ST Ilouis Enir

st. Louis, April 29.-Encouraged by
bright warm sunshiny day the army Of
workers on the site of the big show ac-
complished wonders Yesterday. The mud
is drying out rapidly, and if the fair,
mild weather predicted for Saturday is
realized, the Exposition will be in first
class shape Saturday for the opening, and
the 300, 900 visitors, who are expected
to form the biggest inaugural crowed in
the history of expositions, will not have
any discomforts save those incideetal to
a crush.
Every detail for handling the crowds
to and from the exposition grounds and
after their arrival there has been COM
pleted. The fair could open tomorrow
morning with no hitch or jar.
Thirty thousand strangers passed
through the gates of Union station yester-
day. If as many more arrive today 100,-
900 visitors will have arrived during the
week. 1t is safe to say the morning
trains Saturday will briug so. more
Hence it appears that $50, 900 out-of-
town persons will participate in the in
augural exercises. Five hundred tempo
rary structures were torn down and
carted away yesterday. Walks and
drives were completed throughout the
main part of the Exposition, and the
landscape gardening progressed at won
derful pace.
st. Louis, April 29.-Sunshine and
dry weather have proven the very hest
allies of the road building forces at the
Worlds Fair, just as the rainy and
damp weather of the early part of the
week we're the greatest deterrents. The
work of removing the mud and deposit
ing the dressing of macadam and red
gumbo was done az a wonderful rate.
With the opening Of the great exposition
but one day of, the enormous force of
workmen is working to the end of max
ing it present completed appearance
tomorrow. A conservative estimate
places the number of workmen engaged
on the grounds at 20, 900 approximately.
The seven hundred landscape men have
been working day and night and brought
about wonderful results in the beautifi-
cation of the grounds. Saturday not
a workmen will be in sight about the
grounds engaged in the task of clearing
and shaping up. Weather Forecaster

mo More Business

New York, April ga summons
has been obtained for w. L. Woodend OF
the brokerage business of w. E. Wood
end and Co., consolidated Stock Ex-
change house, haling him to court on
charges preferred by Edwin H. Goodwin,
commissioner of police and president of
the common council of Petersburg, Va.
Goodwin alleges that the firm has with
held $40, 500 entrusted to it by him.
The firm has branch Offices in Newark,
Syracuse, Rochester, Chicago, Philadel-
phia and Washington. The main Office
of the firm is at 20 Broad street and only
one clerk was in charge this morning.
When asked concerning the business, he
said "There will be no more business
by this finn. The employees were all in
formed last night that their services
would not be needed after today" 1t is
alleged that $40, 900 was forwarded to
Woodend TO be invested in stocks
and that no return has been
made. Woodend lives at Sc West
Slst street. He has not been to his
Office fo- several days, and it was said at
his residence that he was too i'll to see
any one. Woodend, who is a doctor,
has had brief but exceedingly meteoric
career in this city. Four years ago he
was consulting physician of a local
traction line and later joined the Con-
solidated Exchange, opening the Broad
street offices. Within three months he
is said to have made $3.50, 600, and soon
branches were established in about
twenty cities. DR.. Woodend and his
wife were enthusiastic horse lovers, and
both had exhibits in the horse show
last fall, when they took many prizes.
Recently the Woodend horses we're sold
at auction. According to the testimony
of Robert Grau in supplementary pro-
ceedings on Saturday, Woodend was
hacker to the amount of $40, coo for the
Patti tour, which made no money.
Detectives tried to arrest DR.. Wood
lend this afternoon, but found he lad
disappeared from him home. 1t is said
his liabilities may reach $500, 900.

Oniet at Nicaragua.

Mobile, Ala, April 29.--Passengers
arriving here from Blue6elds, Nicaragua,
state that there is no excitement in Blue
fields over the turtle fisheries case and
that if the commander OF the British war
ship which was sent there demands the
release of the crews who were seized,
Nicaragua will probably yield. The
schooners that were captured on the
Mosquito coast are still in the harbor of
Bluefelds. The crews are not detained
as prisoners by the government officials.
The Nicaraguans are positive they have
rights of proprietorship along the Mos
quito coast, and that foreigners cannot
fish in these waters. The British, on
the other hand, claim that the waters are
neutral. 1t is probable that an attempt
will be made to settle the fisheries ques-
ton by diplomacy.

King Edward in Ireland.

King Edward and Queen Alexandra
had great popular ovation in the
streets of Dublin yesterday while on
their way to lay the foundation stone of
the Royal College of Science. Troops
lined the route, which was crowded for
hours before the royal cortege arrived.
In reply to an address describing the
aims of the institution the King said he
could hardly participate in more useful
work In these days scientific training
was indispensable to success in CONNER
cial and industrial life.
81 am glad" he added, "to know
that the efforts to extend scientific edu-
cation are supported by popular SYM
patty, as otherwise they must fail to
come in close touch with the life Of the
people and must therefore fall short
of complete success. My best wishes go
with the efforts to improve the intel
lectual and material condition of the
country"

New Bond Issue,

A new bond issue of $50, 900, 900, to
run 40 years at not more than 4 per cent,
is proposed in a circular to stockholders
issued in New York, yesterday, by the
directors OF the Norfolk and Western

stockholders who are called for special
meeting at Roanoke, Va, on June II to
vote on the proposed new bonds. 1t is
declared that there is no intention to
sell any of the new bonds at the present
time, as the cash resources obtained
from the sale of the consolidated mort
gage bonds and equipment trust certif
Gates are ample for all current needs.

for future capital expenditures, will be
first lien on the extensions and branches
not now covered by the first consolidated

branches as may be acquired from the
proceeds of these bonds. The bonds will

The problem oil training Oncers vi lne
navy for ordnance and engineer duty
has it is believed, been solved by the
action of Secretary Moody in approving
the recommendation of board of Of
fcers consisting of Rear Admirals Henry
C. TAYLOR, Charles Rae and George w.
Converse. The scheme contemplates
detailing each year four midshipmen each
to the ordnance and engineering de-
partments OF the navy. These young
officers will be given special training in
the technical duties of the two corps and
will be given greater opportunities to
study at home and abroad and conse-
quently longer terms of shore duty than
are usually accorded officers of their low
rank.
Secretary Shaw is ready TO pay the
$50. 900, 900 for the Panama canal al
any moment President Roosevelt say the
word. The money will be paid in gold
or notes at the option of the Republic OF
Panama and the bankers who have adj
yanced the money to the Panama Canal
Company. Two other Cabinet officers,
Secretary of State Hay and Attorney
General Knox, will enter largerly into the
programme, the former in the transfer OF
$40, 600, 900 to the republic, and the
latter in the payment of $40, 900, 600 ia
the bankers. The Panama government
has already asked that one million OF hel
share of the payment shall be turned
over to J. P Morgan and Co., of New
York, at once, the fiscal agents of the
republic.
The Navy Department has been in
formed that Lieutenant Commander
Fedilio S. Carter, u. S. N, has been
found professionally, physically, men,
tally and morally disqualified for pro-
motion in the navy. If the findings Of
the board are approved by the Secretary
of the Navy it will mean that the officer
will be dropped from the service with
one years pay.
President Roosevelt today selected
Wendell Phillips Stafford, OF Vermont,
for the position on the Supreme Court
of the District of Columbia, made vacant
by the promotion of Justice Pritchard
to the bench of the 4th Federal Circuit.
Friends of Senator Quay deny the re-
port published this morning that he is
critically i'll. On the contrary, they
say that he is steadily improving, and
that unless there should be some unfore.
seen contingency his recovery should
not be long delayed.
The failure of Congress TO provide Tor
a special Investigation Of the postoffice
department has not relieved that branch
of the government altogether from official
scrutiny. The investigation instigated
by'President Roosevelt, it is announced
today, still continues under the direction
of his special commissioners, Messrs. Con
rad and Bonaparte. They are now work
ing on charges in connection with the
administration of the Washington, New
York and St. Louis postofiices. 1t is not
expected that they will be discharged
from their labors until next winter. After
reporting on the Offices now under exami-
nation they will be retained in service
to investigate any other charges that may
be forthcoming.
