has not arrived, and the Legislature
may have to meet and adjourn over to
later day.
1t is foregone conclusion that Hon.
w. d. Cardwell will be chosen speaker
without serious opposition.
Petitions will go up from white
tongers in Tidewater asking the right
to work patent tongs.
A movement is also on foot looking to
the changing of the Baylor survey.
Among the more important measures
will be bill looking to the improvement
of highways. The public school system
will also receive favorable considera-
ton. A bill will in all probability be
introduced looking to the regulation of
insurance companies doing business in
the State. A bill to redistrict the State
will be introduced, taking OF the city of
Newport News out of the Second dis
trict and putting it in the First district,
owing to the inequality of population
and interests to be cared for.

will send his on the day of its assembl-
ing and Gov. Swanson will send a mes

badly burned. The sleeve of her dress
caught fire from lighted lamp. Young
women who were in the room threw
blankets around her and put out the
flames. While suffering a great deal,
her injuries are not serious. ~
Il. l.. Farinholt, of Freeport, Glou-
ces.er county, took a condemned key of
powder from his store to his house to
keep it from blowing some one up. He
set it under his porch, and while at
dinner his three little children, two boys

GETTING THEM BUSY.
U. s. Revenue Officer Stirs things ut
Wheaton,.

U. S. Deputy Internal Revenue Col
lector Edwin Broun, for this district,
has the reputation of being hustler and
stands high with his department as an
efficient deputy.
Getting wind of liquor shipments
being made to some colored speak-easy
parties around Wheaton, and marked
drugs, " few days ago he pounced
down upon the boxes in the warehouse
at Wheaton wharf, broke them open
and found that the contents were booze.
He turned the stuff over to wharf
agent Wheaton as attached by the
government, taking receipt therefor,
and started proceedings against the
shippers. This latter was his primary
object, since the government imposes a
heavy fine upon shippers of WHISTLES
labeled something else.
But the situation soon took on another
phase. The negroes were urged to take
steps 20 recover the goods, and attor-
ney I. j. Downing was employed. A
warrant of attachment was sworn out
before magistrate, and served by a
constable, and the goods taken posses
sion of in Mr.. Broun's absence and
against the protest of Capt. Wheaton.
Learning of this Collector Broun HE'D
\ him to Richmond and laid the case
before U. s. District Attorney Judge
Lewis. rf
The Richmond and Washington au-
thorities pronounce the proceedings very
grave and high-handed and the parties
interested in the seizure by local officers,
as well as the officers, will probably
have to appear before U. S. Court at
Alexandria this month.
