Luncnburs's Indifference.

An official Of tho Virginian Railway
who was in the city yesterday said
that his company had more trouble
getting the right OF way through the
county Of Lunenburg than on all the
remainder OF the line. He thought It
was strange. as the line runs the whole
distance OF the county. and Is practt-
cally the only railway system there.
He said he never knew of a section
that needed n railway more and that
showed such little desire to get one.

Fraternal Mystic Circle, which re.
Gently took over the affairs Of the
American Guild, has been printed for
distribution. The examination was
made Jointly by tho Insurance Depart
mcnts OF Virginia and Pennsylvania
and 1t shows the concern to be in ex-
cellent shape.
The Guild policy holders who went
into the Fraternal Circle are in better
condition than ever before. and they
are being fully protected by a per-
fectly solvent order. Here is resolu-
tion contained in the report which is
all-importan to certain class of the
policy -holders:
And whereas, in violation OF its
charter and bylaws, the American
Guild issued certain policies on
which they agreed to collect no
further premiums after the issu
anqe Of same. and in view of tho
further fact that this reinsurance
covered only the living and con-
tributing members, and In recognl-
ton OF q moral, but not a legal,
obligation to these members; there
fore. be it
"Resolved That the holders Of
these certificates may, upon appli-
cation within ninety days from
date, become contributing members
of the Fraternal Mystic Circle by
paying the rate Of assessment for
the attained age on the plan Of
insurance issued to them"
This resolution. along with other
important provisions of the amended
merger contract. was brought about
by Commissioner Button. who has fol-
lowed tho entire transaction closely.
One important modification which Col
onel Button required OF the Mystic
Circle was that it should not assume
the liability for some $4,000 of debts
owed by the Guild, and which, 1t is
said, could not be recovered at law.
officers OF the Circle they readily
agreed to the suggestion. and said they
would not assume the liability.
The report closes with this interest,"
ing statement:
Under the reinsurance contracts
as above modified, the living men,
bers and the beneficiaries OF de-
ceased members of the American
Guild, by reason of the reduction
in the proportion Of assessments
used for expenses, and by further
reason of the greater financial
strength Of the Supreme Ruling OF
the Fraternal Mystic Circle, are
protected more fully than they
would have been In the American
Z Guild
Wins Great Victory.
An appeal and supersedeas has been
granted in the Supreme Court in the
case of Gruner VS.. Gruner, from the
Circuit Court of Henrico county. The
litigation involves valuable real estate
in the county.
In refusing writ of error and super
sedeas In the case of the Atlantic Coast
Line Railway VS.. e. ]. Andrews, the
court has practically sustained YER
dict against the company which is OF
great interest and value to Andrews.
Andrews was fireman on tho Norfolk
and Western Railway, and while on his
engine somewhere between Norfolk and
Petersburg was struck by piece of
lumber projecting from a Coast Limo
train.
In the Circuit Court Of Norfolk city
the fireman secured verdict for
$4,000 and interest from May 3, 1907.
In refusing to grant the writ of error
asked for by the company, the verdict
of the lower court Is sustained.

were, for tho most part, adverse.
Early in the session reports coupled
the name of Il very large Western
narufacturing concern with impending
insolvency. The securities of this cor
poration fell abruptly. as they had done
on the previous day, losses ranging
from a to 5 points or more on the
common and preferred stocks. Another
very marked decline was made in the
shares in the old. metropolitan Railway,
whose Z per cent dividend is guaran-
teedI by the so-called holding company.
which controls the local traction roads.
Sentiment was further affected by dis
patches from various out -of-town
points. most of which told OF business
depression and increased hardening of
money rates. An unfavorable factor
was the semi monthly report of a re-
cogn2ed cotton expert which stated
that the crop over the greater part of
the cotton belt would hardly make
more than q normal showing Prlces

Deputy Sheriff Walker return
ed from Carson City Sunday,
where he went for the purpose
Of assisting in the transporting
of the prisoners sentenced at
the last term of court to the
State Prison. Mr.. Walker states
that they went by way of Los
Angeles and San Francisco. 1t
being their original intention to
go by way of Tonopah. When
they reached Las Vegas how
ever they learned that the Brock
road was out of commission on
of the strike and hence
were compelled to take the
southern route. One remark
able instance about the trip is
that the difference in fare by
way of Los Angeles and San
Francisco to Carson City is but
a dollar or two more than by
way of Salt Lake and Ogden.
