Two Judges appointed by the fusion

party, hrvvo refused to servo on the pri?
mary election to occur on Thursday. Tho
feeling Is bitter between the fuslonlsts

' D. B. Mackle, print cards In the news?
papers.

on Marlon, the four-year-old daughter of
Mr. Bruce Maaon, of Port Norfolk, was
sentenced to-day by Judge Portlock In
Portsmouth, for eighteen years In the
penltontlary. It was a particularly vi?
cious assault, and there was a throat of
lynching, but tho officers protected the
negro.
The meeting of tho stockholders of the
Norfolk, Newport Newa and Portsmouth
Company was postponed from to-day to
next Tuesday. Ono reason stated la tho
unavoidable absence of President R. Lan?
caster WllllamH. of Richmond. Another
reason, stated by Wellington Hardy,
treasurer, of tho Atlantic Termlnnl Rail?
way, Is the papers necesnry for the disso?
lution of the company into its original
companies, representing tho Alexander
Brown interests and the Williams inter?
ests were tint ready. There was no state?
ment to glve~out nt the office except that

tween the fire engine and. a stret car
last winter. White was thrown from the
engine and suffered a broken nose and
bruises. The case was on trial two days
and the Jury considered It from noon yes?
terday tiU thin morning without agreeing.
The Jury was dismissed as unable to make
a verdict.
COAL SALES NOT BRISK.
The price of hard coal was Increased
to the dealers ten cents a ton at the
mines on the first of tho month. But the
price has not changed here. It sells here
for J7 a ton, but not briskly. There Is a
small supply of hard coal, and there are
not many., sch?'nners arriving. Tho ad?
vices from northern cities are that the
supply is not (rreat and all of t? ? Juno
orders from here wero not filled In July,
There Is no salo of soft coal for domestlo
use. so that practically all of tho soft
ooal-ln the market now Is the steam coal,
whloh.for the run of the mine grade sells
for tZ.Zt a ton. That conl in here In
' abundance. It is Belling freely, but one
deslKW Bays he oould take 10,000 tons and
not fee overstocked.

MaKes Caustic Reply to 06n
Charles Thurman's Card
Against Him.
(Special to Tho Tlmes-Dlspatch.)
BRISTOL, VA.. August 4.-As the rcsul
of tho sensational attnek made upon ex
Congressman Rhen, of the Ninth Virgin!
District, by General Charles Thurman, o
Bcrryvlllo, In connection with the pond
Ing suit of Mrs, Thurman for divorce, th
ox-Congressman has replied as follow?
his reply having been addressed to th
Clarko Courier, of Berryvllle, in which hi
Inters-low In connection with tho Thur
man dlvorco caso wn* recently published
?Bristol, Va., August 1, 1903.
Editor Clarke Courier:
I have seen and road the General's (7
(otherwise known as "Big (0) Naught" li
Berryvllle} rorr.nrka.ble manifesto, and
would take no notice of It, but I thinl
It duo him that he should publicly hav?
certain information. He complains hit
terly that I hnd grievously Insulted hin
and then "sneaked away at midnight."
before ho had time to get satisfaction fo:
his Insult. Your paper was published a
12 o'clock noon, on "Wednesday, July 2Sth
nnd I remained In Berryvllle until the
train loft at 9 o'clock tho next mornlns
for Bristol, so he hnd nearly twonty-foui
hours to get satlfciactlon for my terrible
Insult.
But I am charitable enough to excuse
him for this delny upon the ground thai
he did not come to the conclusion that he
had been Insulted, nnd that his blood?
thirsty angor did not arise until after 1
left there.
It 1b a long rldo nnrl I am very busy
now, but Btlll I would return Immediately
If I did not feel assured that his anger
would keep, certainly for a month or two,
during which timo I expect to be In Win?
chester to nrguo a motion in tho case In
which he Is defendant and of which he
will have due and proper notice, and I
will be delighted on this occasion to give
him the opportunity of seeing me, but I
would prefer that ho would not wait again
for nearly twenty-four hours to do so, as
It might be very inconvenient for mo to
bo detained. If he cannot wait, I would
bo glad to see him in Brls-tol, and I know
that Mrs. Thurman's friends would give
him a very warm reception. If It is not
convenient for him to be at either Win?
chester or Bristol, I will say to him that
later on I expect to be in Berryvllle, per?
haps on several occasions, and on any
one of which he will have ample oppor?
tunity to see me. but 1 trust he will try
and make up his mind earlier than ho
did on the last trip, nnd at all events
before I am gone. On each occasion I
have been In Borryvllle I tried very hard
to see him, and although each timo I
requested that I might be given the ex
aulslte pleasure to look upon him. yet it
was denied m?.
I have always thought, and now his
vulgar tirado convinces me, that Drs.
Blackford and Walker mndn n frroat mis?
take thnt they did not place him In the
coll where ha could see the light of
heaven only through iron bars, nnd had
sent his lovely wife back to the home
which had been ndnrned and beautified
?with her money nnd by her ceaseless care
and toll. I truHt it may never be so, hut
it would not bo a ?trange piece of poetic
Justice if his conduct and his conscience
drove him to that condition that some day
ho would be carried up tho beautiful Val?
ley of Virginia In the direction of Stavin
ton, but not tho happiest drive of his life,
as he promised Mrf. Thurman hers would
be when they left their beautiful home on
that fateful morning.
Very respectfully,

There Is no special hurry for tho ways

It Is much easier to work on a vessel to

CORNWALLIS' HEADQUARTERS.
It was announced hero to-day that the
historic old Temple plantation at York
town, on which Lord Cornwallls surren?
dered to Washington, has been sold by
Its owner, Mr. Mauck, a member of the
Stato Agricultural Commission, to a Mr.
Wlilerbee, a wealthy Detroit, Mich., man.
The salo, It Is said, was raado several
days ago, but until to-day nothing was
said about It.
The place has passed through many
hands during recent years. It was bought
by Mauck from John Crulckshauk, who
had previously purchased It from A. J.
Ford.
The old residence in which Cornwallls
had his headquarters nt the time he sur?
rendered and virtually ended the Revolu?
tionary War, Is still standing, and Is al?
ways visited by tourists when they aro In
tho vicinity. There are hundreds of other
historic spots on the plantation, which
contains about one thousand acres, and
the entlro section Is Interesting to those
I Interoste/i In Virginia antiquities.
WANTS GOVERNMENT TU BUI.
Mr. Mauck will remain In possession o
the plantation for some time, as the nev
owner has arrangod with him to keep I
up, As Wlllorbeo merely bought th<
place as an Investment, not intending tc
use It for private purposes, it Is hardly
probable that ho will spend any time In
the section himself.
For ycmrs It has been understood that
the government would eventually buy
the plantation and convert It into a na?
tional park, and It Is, generally believed
that the new owner bought It for the
purpose of pushing this Idea and to sell
the property to the government.
