The forty-one members of the Rich
mond delegation have not yet organic
ed, but,report has it that the chairman
ship will go to Samuel L. Kelly, of
this city, an ex-legislator, lawyer and
experienced Democrat, who makes a
fine speech.
By far the greater number of the
local contingent are out-and-out for
Bryan though Mr.. Kelly is against in
structions, unless, indeed, they be for
Senator Daniel.
Legislator Hill Montague, as we'll as
Mr.. Roscoe G. Nelson, has been dis
cussed for the position of elector of the
Third District, but neither of these
gentlemen would have the support of
the ring Mr.. Montague, it is obvious,
has opposition in the regular organiza-
ton.
The man who gets the position will
have to devote good deal of time and
some money to stump-speaking.
Among those mentioned as probable
Third District delegates to the Denver
convention are Charles B. Cooke, presi-
dent of the Evening Journal; Alfred B.
Williams, editor of the News-Leader;
w. FL. Sands and Waller Morton. The
latter is an anti-Bryan man.

Items from Around Raphine.

Raphine, April 2S.-On Saturday
morning Miss Mayme Smith, accom-
panied by her mother and aunt, Mrs.
Rush, took the early train for Culpeper
c. H., where they expect to remain
with Mr.. Frank Smith until Wednes-
day when they will be joined by Mr.. S.

where he and Miss Mayme will be
married. He will be accompanied by
his cousin, Mr.. Marshall Mcclure as

The members of the Cardenas So
ciety of Mt. Carmel, assisted by some
of the young ladies and young gentle
men of the congregation, gave an en-
tertainment or play in Midway Hall
last Wednesday evening, which was
highly enjoyed by the large crowd in
attendance. The hall were filled to
overlooking. Ice cream, cake and
sherbert were served before and after
the performance. They took in $6S,
nearly all of which was clear profit, as
the expenses were less than So.
Rev. Mr.. Young, pastor of the Nc
Dowell Presbyterian church, came over
with Mr.. Hamilton from Presbytery at
New Providence and filled the pulpit
at Mt. Carmel Sunday morning and at
Almo in the afternoon.
We regret that Alex. Hamilton had
relapse few days since and is still
quite sick in the Hospital. His sister,
Mrs. Mccormick, is still with him.

Lexington Presbytery.

Lexington Presbytery held its spring
meeting at New Providence church last
week, and was largely attended, and a
most interesting meeting reported.
Rev. J. L. Lineweaver, of Pickens,
w. Va, could not be present owing to
illness. He was the retiring modera-
tor, and Rev. G. L. Altfather opened
| the session. DR.. B. f. Wilson, of Har-
risonburg, was elected moderator for
the ensuing term, and presided over the
Presbytery.
The Presbytery agreed to the trans
fer of Rev. d. Hopkins Rolston to the
East Hanover Presbytery, who had a
call from Second Presbyterian church
of Petersburg. Rev. Mr.. Rolston is the
youngest and one of the most brilliant
members of the Presbytery. He is a
native of Rockingham, but since en-
tering the ministry has been stationed
at Gladys, w. Va.
When the question of the proposed
division of Lexington Presbytery came
up it was soon dismissed without de-
finite action looking to separation.
This question has been leading one
for a number of years, since the mem
bership of the church within the Pres
bytery has grown so large, but each
year the body has refrained from MAX
ing division.
The reports from the various churches
throughout the Presbytery were most
encouraging and exceptionally good
work is looked for during the year.
Rev. G. w. Mcdonald was received
from the Presbytery of Winchester, and
Rev. R. f. Fultz, from Greenbrier.
The former accepted call to Tygart's
Valley Church, and the latter to Rocky
Spring and Williamsville. Rev. w.
E. Hill was dismissed to North Ala
bama Presbytery.
Rev. S. S. Oliver resigned the pastor
ate of the Franklin church, and Rev
B. H. Dupuy, that of Beverly, both of
which will be considered at an adjourn
ed meeting to be held in Staunton, Va,
the Goth of May.
Commissioners to the general assem-
bly,, which meets at Greensboro, N. c.,
in May, Rev. Drs. w. N. Scott and G.
A. Wilson; Elders Harry M. Lewis, of
Staunton, and Judge G. G. Grattan, of
Harrisonburg.
Presbytery adjourned Saturday to
hold its fall session at Mcdowell, High
land county,

A dispatch from Lynchburg says: 1t
is reported here that the Norfolk and
Western Railroad has under considera-

terminals from Roanoke to this city, as
Lynchburg is exactly halfway between
Norfolk and Bristol, and therefore more
convenient for changing crews. The

Terrible Storm in the South.

4ClIIU1C QUILL Ill Tic SOuLu.
The storm that swept over portions
of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama
last Friday proved more destructive
than was at first reported. Briefly
stated the facts are: Killed, about $50;
injured, painfully or seriously, 1900;
homeless, several thousand.
Towns reporting serious wreckage,
As. Habitations and business houses
practically complete ruins in these
towns, about $500.
The above figures do not include the
wreckage on plantations and farms,
scores of which were struck and DAM
aged. The number of dead will never
be known accurately, for the reason
that about 300 of them were negroes and
they were buried in communities with
out careful records being made of their
numbers.
While some Of the first reports giving
apparently reliable death lists have
since proved unreliable, nevertheless,
remote places which were late in re-
reporting their dead have served tc
hold the total death list uniformly
around $780,

New Line Crosses Virginia.

Richmond April 25th.-Work on the
new railroad between this city and
Washington is to begin as soon as the
charter can be perfected and presented
to the State corporation commission fol-
its acceptance.
1t is stated here on the best of au-
thority that there is to be no deal
whereby the road will be made a part
of the present system between this city
and Washington. The new road will
be operated by electricity, and will run
direct from this city into Washington.
1t will be owned by the Gould inter
ests. The owners will not accept the
reported proposition to have the road
made part of the old system and per-
nit the use of old tracks, which are be-
ing doubled from this city to Alexan-
dria.
The road known as the Washington
and Falls Church line is the property
of the Gould interests, and that will be
made part of the system whereby the
company will be able to enter Wash
ington.
AS soon as the road is completed the
extension of the line through the coun-
ties of Hanover, King William, and
King and Queen and into Gloucester
will begin. There is no railroad in this
part of the State, the only means OF
communication being by private con-
veyance for distance of about sixty
miles, or by steamer from Fredericks-
burg. The road will be about eighty
miles in length, and will traverse a rich
agricultural and trucking section. IT
is expected that the charter will be
granted within the next thirty days.
