Lumber Market Lazy.

The local lumber market is stagnant,
and except for a few small vessels COM
Ing from river points there have been no
arrivals of lumber-laden craft at this city
for three weeks. There is fair demand
for building material here, but the deal
ers have good supply on hand and are
able 10 meet demands. The uncertainty
as to how lumber is to be treated In the
new tariff bill is making the mill owners
in North Carolina and Virginia, whence
comes the bulk of the lumber used here,
hold back the stock they have on hand
with the expectation OF advancing the
market II the tariff scale OF the Senate
on lumber remains In the bill when 1t be-
comes law. AS soon as the tariff bill is
passed 1t is expected heavy shipments OF
the material will be made to this city. A
cargo of laths from Norfolk arrived here
yesterday and three-masted schooner
is; under charter to bring d cargo from
New Brunswick.

MORE GROUNDS FOR DIVORCE.
Chamber of Commerce Committee to
Consider Proposed Changes.

A. Leftwich Sinclair. chairman of the
committee ION law and legislation of the
Chamber of Commerce. has appointed the
subcommittee which will consider the ad-
visibility of changing the divorce laws Of
the District. The subcommittee is COM
posed of Benjamin r. Barnes chairman,
liam H. Holloway, F. W. Mackenzie,
Frank p. Milburn, Jesse e. Potbury,
Arthur Z. Randle, William E. Shannon.
James A. Toomey. j. Dawson Williams
and Alexander Wolf.
Mr.. Sinclair has drafted an amendment
to section $50 of the code. which he will
submit to the subcommittee. 1t provides
for divorce for any of the following
causes:
First, for adultery committed by either
party during the marriage: second. for
cruelty of treatment, endangering the
life and health of either party; third
for habitual drunkenness of either party
for a period of three years. and fourth,
for willful desertion and abandonment
of either party for the full and unin-
terrupted period of two years. Where
an absolute divorce has been granted for
any of such causes the innocent party
the party held to be guilty In the pro-
ceedings for divorce shall be deemed big
amy. and on conviction thereof such party
shall be punished by imprisonment for
not less than two nor more than seven
years; but nothing herein contained shall
prevent the remarriage of the divorced
parties to each other"
At present the code recognizes but one
cause for absolute divorce and permits
only the innocent party to remarry.
