STATION
BECOMES CITY
OVERNIGHT

Seven or eight months ago Hope
we'll, Va, was an obscure flag station
on a branch line Of the Norfolk and
Western railway, some Is miles from
Petersburg. It was an appropriated
and practically unknown point out in a
sleepy stretch of country where land
could be purchased readily for $50 an
acre Today it is a city of probably
more than $4,000 persons, where small
lots are being sold for as much as 3d.
900 and $4,000 each and in some cases
rented for 5000, or more, a month.
The situation is explained in an inter-
esting illustrated article in the August
Popular Mechanics Magazine. 1t
says:
Hopewell is a raw, wild, excited
boom town with factories running day
and night, with block after block of
dwellings s%pringing up as rapidly as
a new street is marked off; with bar
racks, shacks, and tents everywhere,
and hundreds more in the of
erection. Like Goldfield and Gary in
earlier days, it has dozens of saloons,
fy-infested eating houses, and impro-
vised stores where a gaudy outlay of
goods is displayed on packing boxes in
crude, hurriedly built shacks made of
rough lumber. Its buildings are un-
screened, and sanitation is unknown.
Garbage is throw into the street, and
sewage carried off in open bitches
Drinking water is drawn from shallow
wells. Flies swarm in clouds. Yet.
in spite of all this, the town-which
doesn't even know it's real name and

a brakeman's lantern, occurred near
midnight just east of Buffalo when
five shots We're fired in quick success

One of the bullets struck Covert in
the right arm just above the elbow.
At Buffalo the North Coast Limited
No. 2 was tagged and the injured man
taken on board and his wounds dressed
by DR.. Dillon, a Fargo physician, who
was returning to this city. At an
early hour Covert was under the care
Of DR.. Dillon and Dr.. Sorkness in the
latter physicians office.
The only particulars which could be
learned We're that Covert was walking

Early this morning, deputy Sheriff
Kramer of this city and Chief OF Pc.

the trail of a negro who late last right
slashed Jaffrey Vlamark, colored por-
ter at the Johnson barber shop on
lower Front St., cutting a 10-inch
cash across the porter's back.
At the county hospital, it was stated
that Vlamark had just come out of
the anesthetic. He made no state
ment concerning the affair.
The name of the negro, who stabbed
Valmark, was not known to the police
of either city last night. The clue
they followed took them to Dilworth.

INSURANCE RIDDLE
In LOST WAR PRIZE
Owner Of Cotton on Canada,
Wrecked After 1t Was Seized,
Wants $4,000.

A cult filed In the United states Dis
trict Court yesterday against tho Globe
and Rutgers Fire Insurance Company
and the Insurance Company OF Pennsyl-
yania will, It Is expected. bring a de-
cision OF the question OF whether the
damage done 20 a merchant vessel which
meets with an accident while being
steered into port by a prize crew shall
be covered by war Insurance or by Or
binary marine insurance.
The plaintiff In the suit Is Max Null
Ter. a subject OF Austria, owner OF the
cargo of cotton on the steamer Canada.
which ran ashore on Fair Island on the
northern coast of Scotland while m
charge OF a prize crew from a British
war vessel. Muller asks for s33,20o
from the Insurance companies on the
ground that they guaranteed under their
policies to protect the cotton against
the risk OF capture. seizure or destruc-
ton or damage by men OF war, by let
tiers of marque. by takings at sea, ar
rests, restraints. detainments and acts
OF kings, princes and peoples, author
lied by and in prosecution OF hostilities
between belligerent nations"
The Canada. according to the com
plaint, sailed from Galveston, Tex. on
February is last for Christiania and
Gothenburg. On March IL the vessel
was seized by the British cruiser and
was ordered TO proceed TO kirkwall for
search. Because OF weather conditions
and ,he nature OF the coast near the
point at which the capture took place
the captain Of the Canada, Muller as
serts. suggested that the ship lay to for
the night, but the officer In charge oi
the prize crew would not heed this sug'
gestlon, with the result that the shi
ran ashore on Fair Island. which has
had no light since the beginning OF Tho
war. The Canada. according to Muller
went down with its entire cargo.
The insurance companies. according
to Muller. refused TO reimburse him FOL
the loss OF the cargo. insisting that thu
| sinking of the ship was due to ordinar,
marine perils and not to the risks o.
war.

BETTER BUSINESS SHOWN.
Exchange Bank Issues
Symposium of Conditions.

The American Exchange National
Bank has just issued a symposium on
business and trade conditions In the
United States. The facts obtained by
the bank are the result of a thorough
canvass in every section of the country
and tend to show that business Is gener-
ally better. 1t Is stated that the manu-
facture Of war munitions Is confined to
comparatively few localities, but the de-
mand for this class of goods has stimu-
lated industry to a considerable extent
all over the country.
As a result of the war, the bank says,
many commodities which we were ac-
customed to procure elsewhere are now
being manufactured here. and IL Is
probable that II the tariff is revised so
as to protect these Infant industries"
their manufacture will be continued at
an increasing rate.
Summing up the consensus of opinions
received, the bank circular says:
Taking the country as a whole. 1t Is
I'm a prosperous condition. There Is
convincing testimony as TO this In al
most every report from which W. quote.
1t looks as though we will continue
gradually into better times. The distri-
button OF the money received from
abroad covers a great range of territory.
our farms. mines and forests have all
been drawn upon TO supply tho needed
material. People in all parts OF the
country must share in the profits de-
rived from our export trade"
