We had the pleasure Of riding ov-
err this road from Castleton to Poult.
ney and back, on Thursday last, the
road being run during the past week
for the accommodation Of tho great
numbers in attendance upon the ex,
aminations at the Castlcton and Poult

that the road offers the chance for q

Since writing the above wo learn
that the connection of this road with
the Whitehall and Saratoga at Cas-
Teton has been perfected and to,
day (Thursday) the event is being
made the occasion Of some little 'dem,
onstration' on the part of the friends
Of the two roads. Two wcll.6lled
cars of the Saratoga road were this
morning-for the first timc-passed
over the road Of the Rutland and
Washington and handsomely intro.
duccd to the people at the depot OF
the Rutland & Burlington road. This
connection will add much to the pleas
antness Of this route to passengers for
Saratoga and Troy and will render

rival routes-tLo Rutland l. Wash

General Morehead left San Diego on Friday, May

Morehead arrived in San Diego he had with him about

THE NELSON TRAGEDY

Our town was thrown into high excitement on Mon
day last by the arrival OF runaway couple from the
county OF Amherst First came DR.. Williams and Miss
Morrlss the athanced Lovers with two brothers OF Dr.
W. and Mr. Hill. Soon afterwards, MIR. Richard Nor
Kiss and his Richard he father and brother of ISIS
Morrissl and Mr. Shelton arrived in hot pursuit after the
fugitives. The whole of Monday evening was con-
sumed in propositions from one side to the oher-Dr
Williams refusing to give up the young lady to the ia
ther Counsel called in, who decided that there
no law by which Mr. NORRIS could recover pos
session of his daughter. Threats passed freely on both
Sides, and young Morriss being told that his sister
would not be given up without fight drew pistol
upon one OF Dr. Williams brothers, who showed that
he was fully prepared for such emergency and blood
would have been shed had not the bystanders inerered
to prevent It, The parties then arrested disarmed
evening" Mr. Norris obtained possession Of his daugh
ter, and thus ended the affair in Charlottesville
On Tuesday morning, the Norris party, with the
daughter, set out upon their return home, and few
moments afterwards, the Williams party followed
The Williams party passed the others and arrived al
Lovngston Nelson G. H. first, and it SO happened
that both parties stopped at the same hotel. Young
Morriss and Mr.. Hill met at the supper table, when
something passed that exasperated NORRIS, and he
threw his plate at Hills head Hill hereupon drew q
pistol and fired at Morriss the shot taking effect in he
region of his heart NORRIS then shot ill in the abdo-
men, giving him severe, and it is thought mortal
wound. He also fired at DIR. Williams, the shot taking
effect in the spne and expired in five minutes hereaf
ter.
Miss Morriss is raving maniac, and threatens to
put end to her existence her lover should not sur
vive his wound. Mr. Morriss proceeded home with his
daughter and the corpse OF his son. expecting that the
dreadful calames which had beallen them would cause
the death OF his wife.

has ever occurred upon the soil of Virginia. Nothing

ways alive to SPORT collected around and cheered her

the street, smiling the sensation which her appearance
had created. The boys shouted, the men laughed and

AN ExPLos1oN--On Thursday evening last about 3
o'clock, the steam engine at the Foundry in this place,
exploded with terrific crash, shaering the building
in which it was situated, and throwing bricks and
pieces OF timber in various directions and great dis
lance. A large piece Of the boiler, weighing perhaps,
upwards of 1900 lbs, was thrown forty yards,
plank fence. For moment or two after the report OF
the explosion, no little alarm and excitement pro
duced among citizens by the fear that some if not all
of the workmen were killed. Providentially however,
all escaped unhurt. The loss to the Company. we
have heard estimated at from 500 to $4,000. We
are grathed to learn that the operations OF the stab
lishment will be retarded but little, in consequence of
this dsaser-an engine larger and more suitable than
the one which exploded having been already ordered.

The Washington Union, we are glad to see, bat
ties stoutly with the Southern Press on the Union
question. Recently it cited Mr.. Madson's i'm
portant letter of 1880 to Mr.. Everett, in which he
declared that the resolutions of '98 meant by State
nterposition, the s'ordinary control of the people
and legislatures of the States over the govern
ment of the United States.
To this the Southern Press replies with flip
pancy which distinguishes it above all the other
journals of the land
CAN this was known before. 1t is quite well
known that Mr. Madison changed his system of prin-
cpes after the celebrated victory of the Republican par
ty in l798. Then he was opposed TO national bank,
to protective tariff, and to federal internal improve
| menis He afterwards supported all. But we don't
rely on Mr. Madisons latter opinions Mr. Webster pro-
| essed them in 1910 in his Richmond speech We are
for the opinions Of Mr. Madison in l79S the principles
that brought the Republican party into power. That
party never adopted, and never victorious on, the
| opinions OF 1850"
| Be it remembered, Mr. Madison declared, in
| 1880, what was meant by the resolutions of
1898, of which he himself was the author, but
the Southern Press forsooth is to be taken as
much better authority on this subject than
| Mr. Madison. We should like to know what par
ty supported Mr.. Madison when he was Pres-
dent, if it was not the Republican party Yet the
Press would haveus understand that he abandon
cd his republican principles soon after the republi
can victory of '9S; of which, by the way, history
has heretofore been silent The chronicles gene
rally affirm that it was in the year 1900, that Mr.
Jefferson gained the great republican victory.
