Anotner i aw suit in which the alue of the Burling ton pest house will be involved is to be brought up. It's this way: When smallpox first made its appearance in Burlington the town decided to use a small house belonging to J. W. Mas- sey as a pest house, making it seems a very lax agreement with him. Now tnat it is all over Mr. Maesey claims that he cannot get a tenant for the house because everyone is afraid to live where the smallpox patients were rept. He win therefore sue the town of Burlington for the value of the property. Ex Judge Spencer B.

Washington, August 16 Much In terest is felt in Washington in the out come of the primaries in the Alexan dria district for the house of dele gates. The candidates are Messrs. Caton, a well known attorney of Al exandria, and tYank Hume.

The senato rial contest In Virginia is not cutting much prominence in the contest ' as both Hume and Caton are understood to be in favor of the reelection of Sen ator Martin. Mr. Hume has been a member of the Virginia house of dele gates and has held various offices in the county, in all of which offices he has served wittf credit and distinction. He is a thorough business man, as is proved by his wonderful success in business in the capital city, and if the democrats of Alexandria county should nominate him for the legisla ture there is no doubt but that he would prove a business representa tive Mr. Caton, on the other hand, is a itwyer of distinction in the state of Virginia, and is also thoroughly equipped for duties as a member of the Virginia legislature. Representative Hepburn, of Iowa, who is now in Washington for few days, in an interview Monday nieht paid a tribute to Hon. Frank Hume with whom he is well acquainted.

An investigation proved that the report was correct. The body had been covered with dirt, leaver and brush, but dogs ad buz zards had dragged it out and almost stripped it of flesh. Sheriff Kapp and D-. Linville made some inquiry and were told by an old colored woman that a young girl, Florence Butner, aged 19 or 20, was suspected of being the mother of the infant. She was found and questioned about the affair, iBnally acknowledg ing that it was her child. She said the child was born on Friday, August 4, and that it was born dead. She claims that she buried it herself In the woods, and that her parents knew nothing of it until last Mond y. The body was not found until Sunday, August 13.

Braker, a wealthy banker and importer of this city, is at the head of a syndicate pro moting a railroad to be built through Tennessee, which will prove a strong competitor of the Southern Railway He has recently secured control of the Morristown & Cumberland Gap Rail road, running from Morristown to Corrjtown, forty miles distant, on the Knoxvllle, Cumberland Gap & Louis ville Railroad, now controlled by the Southern Railway, Mr. Braker has had himself elected president and has changed the name of the road to the Knoxvllle & Bristol. He is now surveying a line from Bris tol to Tato Spring, a distance of 100 miles and from Blaine to Knoxville, a distance of eighteen miles. By build ing these two links the Knoxville & Bristol Railroad will have a through line connecting the two places and practically paralleling the tracks of the Southern. At Bristol a coalition and traffic con nection will be made with the Norfolk & Western Railroad. The new line will connect with the Atlanta, Knox ville & Northern Railroad at Knox ville. This road reaches south to Mariettas Ga , twenty miles north of Atlanta. The building of these links will establish a through and indepen dent line in connection with the Nor folk & Western and the roads men tioned from Harrisburg, Pa., to At lanta, Ga.

A number of visiting Fel lows were present to enjoy the pro ceedings. The initiatory degree was conferred and a big time was had all round. After the business of the meet ing was disposed of, cream and cake were served and heartily enjoyed. The reception and gerrran given by the young men of the town complimen tary to the visiting young ladies in the rooms of the Business Men's Asso ciation last night was a success in every particular. A goodly number were present several from a distance. The refreshments were delightful and thoroughly enjoyed, especially by .the dancers after their rounds upon the floor. The music was furnished by the High Point orchestra. The dancing commenced about 10:30 o'clock. There were some 21 couples on the floor. The occasion will be long remembered by the young ladies, who are loud in their praises for the young gentlemen who so thoughtfully got the dance up and so nicely conducted the same. A cripple by the name of Maxwell from Reidsville is in the city visiting his grandmother, Mrs. Billings. The unfortunate's legs are twisted -and drawn in a horrible manner. He uses his hands as well as his feet in walk ing, using wooden blocks with hand holds in them to protect theee members of the body. He was attacked with brain fever when only three years old which settled in his back and left side causing the deformation. He looks as if he enjoyed health, a d seems to get around with ease, walking as fast as the average man. When at home he does most of his travelling in a wagon drawn by a goat.

Senator Martin who was in the city for a few hours Sunday night, and Monday morning, is much pleased with his senatorial prospects. He has never felt the slightest doubt of his re election, and although he did not him self submit to being interviewed dur ing his visit to Washington this time, he spoke to many of his frirnds who saw him in regard to the encouraging outlook in the state. Thus far it is claimed by his friends that sixteen nominations have been made through out the state for the house of dele gates, and that Martin has fifteen of them pledged to his support It is stated on good authority that two members of the legislature who have been nominated, and who have been classed as doubtful on the senatorial question, Messrs.

Lamb says that although a republican, he feels some interest in the election. He believes that the ma jority of the democrats in Norfolk and vicinity are favorable to Senator Martin's re-election He says that while he disagrees politically with Martin, he believes he has been a faith ful and efficient senator, and thinks it only fair to give him credit for his good services to Virginia. Mr. E. A. Mason, of Chicago, is at the Arlington Hotel for a few days en route to North Carolina, where he is well known as a prominent manufac turer of cotton goods.

Its oper atives have quickly learned the pro cesses of plain silk manufacture, and the entire output has been contracted for by New York parties. The prod uct of this mill is pronounced by good judges to be excellent, and this is borne out by the demand for its goods. News and Observer.
