Cattle-As usual at the beginning of the
week. there was only fair supply of cat
tie to-day. and, in fact. hardly enough in
any department to encourage the demand.
The offerings were principally butcher
stock and included comparatively few that
were really attractive in quality or finish.
On account Of the small supply there was
no important demand from any quarter,
but nearly all local packing houses were
represented, and being inclined TO pay
steady prices. all that were offered changed
hands. The supply OF steers was quite
small. and there was hardly enough bust
ness transacted in this department to give
any idea Of the market 1t does not ap
pear that the run OF cattle this week will
be any above normal, and the selling side
is rather inclined TO view the outlook IA
vorably. Country shippers however. should
remember that this Is the season of the
year when buyers are rather particular
as to the quality and condition of the cat
tie, and IL is also the time when IL may
be expected that there will be some dis
elimination against grass-fed stock. Quo

Wabash Opening Postponed

kilograms from Joseph Ramsey. presi-
dent Of the Wabash, announce a postpone
ment of one week in the time of initiating
regular service on the new Wabash Pitts
burg terminal extension. All the plans had
been laid TO start the service on June 49,
but on account or change Of date in the
summer time card of the New York Cen
trail road and other lines with which the
Wabash conneo.s the officials decided to
start the service at the later date. So far
as the engineering and construction work
of the line goes all would have been
ready for the opening on the date originally
proposed. There are now, however, forty
miles of straight track through tunnels and
cuts, over bridges and fills, which could
have been utilized week before if only a
good track were the single requirement
The change is said to be a disappointment
TO many people by reason of the eager an
ticipation which the prospective opening of
the new line had awakened.

CAUSE FOR EXPLOSION
IS NOT DETERMINED
Coroner's Jury Returns Verdict in
Towboat Wreck Investi-
cation.

LOUISVILLE, May 30.-The coroner to-
day investigated into the explosion on the
towboat Fred Wilson. by which ten men
lost their lives and many were injured. No
bodies have been recovered, and the diver
who has been at work on the submerged
wreck for several days gives it as his opin-
ion that the unfortunate victims were blown
into the river and that their bodies may
be found floating below. To-day's action
by the coroner's jury was specifically an in
quest on the death of Sherman Shibler. of
Pittsburg, the engineer. but the inquiry had
the scope of general investigation. Forty
five witnesses were examined. and Coroner
Kelly was assisted in his work by the statu-
tory jury of six.
After hearing more minor testimony the
jury returned verdict assigning no cause
for the explosion.

Midshpman Harry A. Stuart, who was
graduated from the U. S. Naval Academy
last month, and who has since been visit
ing his parents at Tazewell, on Yesterday
received orders from the Navy Depart
ment assigning him to duty with the
Asialic fleet. The order is as follows;
Proceed to Mare Island, CAL, and re-
port to the Commandant of the Navy
Yard at that place, for temporary duty on
board the U. s. R S. Independence; be-
fore the U. S. S. Soace leaves that Yard
for the AsiatiC Station you will regard
yourself as detached from duty on board
the Independence, aud will report to the
Commandant for duty on board the Solace
en- route to the Asiatic Station, aud upon
arrival will report to the Commander-in
Chic of the U. S. Asiatic feet for such
duty as he may assign you to on the sta
tion under his command"
Mr.. Stuart will start for San Francisco
not later than next Sunday, The U. s. S.
Solaoe is now en- route to San Francisco
from Manila and will probably reach Mare
Island by the time Mr.. Stuart does. So,
it is likely that be will reach the Asiatic
Station in time to witness some of the
naval battles between the Japanese and
Russians. His friends here congratulate
him upon receiving an assignment which
is now considered 80 desirable by naval
men, and all will with him health, pros

Our Street Lights

Several weeks ago we said something
about the contract for lighting the streets
of the town with electric lights. We then
advocated renewal of the contract and
an increase in the amount to be paid the
contractors for such service. Nothing has
transpired since that time which has
caused us to change the views then ex-
pressed. We have been informed by the
Messrs. Spots that under the contract
which they have been faithfully perform
ing with the town for the past five years
they have made nothing, and in fact That
the work has been done at loss. These
gentlemen are 60 well known for integrity
and truthfulness that no one will dJubt
the accuracy of their statements.
Our citizens have so long enjoyed the
comfort and protection afforded by elec-
trio lighting Of the streets that no one
would now consent to have the lights dis
continued. Aud we take it for granted
that no one with proper sense OF lnsuce
would desire persons to furnish the nghts
without giving proper compensation.
The contract of the town With The
Messrs. SPOTS will terminate the lst oI
July, 1904, and these gentlemen are no"
asking renewal of the contract at an
advance rate of about % per cent. II thf
Town makes new CONTRACT on that basis
it will then secure lights forty per cent
cheaper than any town in Virginia, anc
100 per cent. cheaper than most OF them
In view of the fact that the Mess's
Spots have done the work heretofore at
loss their propositions ought to receive
most favorable consideration ct the hands
of the town authorities; and if the counci
renews the contract, increasing the smoun
to be paid for the SET vice as asked for, w
have no doubt tue public will approve Q
such action.

Other Matters Passed

Richmond, Va, March IA feature in
the House today was an attack on ex-
President Grover Cleveland by Represent
ative George I. Snead, of Princess Anne
A few days ago Mr.. Snead introduced a
bill repeating all laws interfering with the
shooting of wild fowl in Black Bay dis
trict. of his county, place frequented by
Grover Cle,e leland, and the report became
current aud was printed in several town
papers, that Mr. Snead was acting in the
interest of Mr.. Cleveland, so that the lat
ter might shoot ducks all the year.
Mr.. Snead denied emphatically that
such WAS the case, and added that Mr..
Cleveland had broken faith with the DEM
ocratic party and should not be again the
nominee of that party.
In connection with the bill to prevent
nepotsm, Mr.. Ould, of Campbell, made
strong fight to secure an amendment to
the present school law which provides
that the county boards that appoint school
trustees shall consist of the Common
weallhs attorney, local school superlnten'
dent and a citizen to be named by the
circuit Judge. MIR. Ould wished the third
man to be elected by the people on the
ground that circuit judges know nothing
of conditions in counties where they do
not reside. In Campbell county, be said,
this member of the board had been sp.

than any other agency. lie complain, d
bit rly that the judge had made tbi- sp-

the peoples representative. AS further
evidence that circuit judges we're not con-
versant with local conditions, MIR. Ould
said that there was an official in his coun-
ty SO appointed, who was now being gar
nisheed for debt.
Mr.. Ouid's amendment was beaten
without division.
