Afage15s
From the Lynchbnrg (va.) Repub.
lican. Of the Sd inst, we take the
following record OF another most
painful tragedy, occurring between
gentlemen who may almost be con.
sidered citizens Of that place:
The circumstances which caused it
are Of the most delicate nature. On
Sunday evening, 30th nit, about
dark, DIR. Lorenzo d. Williams, son
Of Jno. M. Williams, residing Just
across the river, on the Amherst side,
eloped with the eldest daughter,
aged about i9, of Captain Richard
G. Morris, who also lives Immediate
lY over the river, with the purpose
Of marrying her. The couple, ac-
companied by one of WIS brothers,
anda Mr.. Edmond Hill, took the
Charlottesville route for Washington
city. The family Of the young lady
getting wind Of the elopement acci-
dentally, in a short time after it oc-
Cured, Capt. Morris and his son,
Richard G., prepared Immediately for
a pursuit. They overhauled the run
awsys in Charlottesville, they having
been disappointed in meeting ready
conveyance from that place. The
daughter was concealed in the hotel,
but the father and brother got posses
sion OF her, and then had Williams
and his party bound over in the sum
Of a thousand dollars each. Both
parties left for home, and on Tues
day evening they put up accidentally
at the same hotel, in Livingston, Mel
son county. When Williams party
and young Richard Morris were
seated at the supper table, opposite
each other, some indignity was Of
fered young Morris by the other par
ty, when he threw his plate into the
lace Of Williams. Morris, Williams
and Hill then commenced a general
shooting, which resulted, after some
eight or ten rounds, in the imme-
date death OF young Morris, and the
mortally wounding Of Hill, and, it is
said, OF Williams, also. Hill was
shot by Morris, in the centre of the
breast, and Williams was shot by
him in the side or back. When the
occurrence took place the father and
daughter were in their room Up
stairs.
P. S-The report has since
reached here that Hill had died OF his
wounds. Mr.. Morris was shot but
once, and that through the body
He was not killed in the general me-
lee, but was shot by Williams broth.

down 10th Of his antagonists, Hill
and DIR. W., and was retiring from
the dining room. DR.. WIS first cap
exploded, when he was shot bv NJ.
Hill and NJ. both shot after they
were wounded but without effect.
Morris lived but five minutes. dying
in his fathers arms, who met him at
the head of the steps. Robert Will
liams has since been arrested.
The Richmond Despatch, Of yes
terday says:
Passengers by the canal packet
boat yesterday stated that both Dr.
Williams and Mr.. Hill were living,
but that it was thought Hill could not
possibly recover. DR.. Williams, it
was supposed, might recover. We
have heard accounts Of the tragedy
differing from that given above by
the Republican, but deem il best not

A correspondent OF the State Jour-
nal writing from Cleveland SAYS the
Wing nominations are well received
there-that Mr.. Vinton is a man
who has "seen some service" and is
every where respected by his party.
twenty-five years Of public life has
probably qualified him to discharge
the duties Of the Office of Governor
Of Ohio. He would make a good
Governor. known throughout the
Union as man Of talent, integrity
and great purity Of life, his election
would do honor TO the State.
A Steubenville correspondent of
the same paper says candidate for
Governor could not have been made
who would have been more accepta-
BILE 10 the Wings OF this part Of the
State than Mr.. Vinton. All agree
that he is a good man, good Wing,
and popular candidate. He will
run well in Jefferson, where we claim
10 be good sound Wings always.
Such is the report from every part
Of the Stale. Our friends are all
we'll pleased with the nomination
and are preparing for a complete
victory.

that we never heard any thing more

SAMUEL F. VINToN NOMINATED FOR
GovERNoR!--Nobly have the gallant
Wings who went up TO Columbus
on the Sd, preIormed the work that
was allotted them TO do. They
have presented for the first Office in
the Government of Ohio, Samuel F.
Vinton, Of Galljpolis-than whom a
more sterling Wing or irreproacha-
bic man lives not upon the soil OF
Ohio. II is a great name--made
eminent by long and glorious ca
reer OF public service--and one OF
which the State has been long and
Justly proud. 1t is a name around
which The Wings ol he State can
rally with confidence and enthusiasm,
and enter upon the canvass with the
strongest assurances Of success
We rejoice that a candidate mas been
selected so admirably qualified in
every respect to confer honor on her
chief Magistracy OF Ohio, and again
we say, nobly have the Delegates
discharged the duty assigned them.
Mr.. Vinton is u native Of Massa-
chusetts-a State that has been pro-
life in great men and sound princi-
piles. He came TO this State in 1919,
and settled in Gallipolis, in the prac-
tice of Law. In 1922, after resi-.
dence in that District Of only three
years, so great was the confidence
with which he had inspired the CON-
munity. that he was elected TO Con-
gress with hardly a dissenting voice.
He continued in public service as
Member from that District, until
1886. when he declined reelection
that he might devote himself to the
management OF his private affairs
and 70 the practice Of his profession.
In lS4O, he was again returned to
Congress from the same District,
which he has continued to represent
until the present tine.
During the last few years, few
men in the House have occupied so
commanding a position or exercised
SO commanding an influence as Mr..
Vinton. For many years he was
the recognized leader Of the House.
II was position not sought for by
him. by frequent and obtrusive dis
play, but freely conferred upon him
by reason Of his clear, calm and far.
seeing sagacity, the universal regard
for his private worth.-l
This confidence and regard we e
strongly manifested in the wish
almost unanimously expressed, that
he should become the Wing candi-
tate for Speaker; and all will remem-
Der The touching speech in which he
leclined a nomination, on account
,f the state Of bis health and the
lrduous nature Of the duties re-
Iuired. ~

Never have our State nominalions
been received with more enthusiasm,
judging from the tone of the press.
than the present Wing ticket meets
with. Especially is the nomination
of Mr.. Vinton every where hailed
with joy and pride. We take the
following extracts from papers in
various parts Of the State: d
He (Mr. Vinton) is a favorile with
our people-men OF all pariies.-
They first introduced. him to public
life, and SO long as this county
was in his congressional district, and
he would consent 10 seLye, they
,oould not UOtc ''for anybody else" 10
represent them in Congress. While
their representative, he reflected
honor upon his constituents, render
ed important service TO the State and
nation, and built up for himself re-
puiation as a farseeing statesman,
and wise legislator, inferior to no
man in the nation. He needs no
commendation at our hands. The
people Of Washington county will
show .heir appreciation of him at
the ballot box.-Marietta Inteltigen-
Ger.
The nomination Of Mr.. Vinton,
for Governor OF Ohio, will be re-
ceived with JOY by the Wings
throughout the State. In this COM
but one opinion PREVAILS
All can, and ,CiR support Mr.. Vinton
for Governor. They know him to
be honest, faithful and competent,
and worthy OF the united support
Of the Wings Of Ohio.
Kinton Republican.
The ChiIlico:he Advertiser (oppo-
sition) thinks he is the best man the
Wings could have selected, but of
course thinks he cant be elected, in
which he is mistaken.
The Portsmouth Inquirer (oPposi-
tion) says:
The nomination Of Mr.. Vinton is
a good one aid the best they could
have made, but it cannot win, if the
Convention does its
duty.
If that is all that prevents he is
sure TO swim
Great whIg ConvenGIon Of 1851.
The State ticket which we place
at the head of our columns TO day,
is one Of which the wings of Ohio
may well be proud. There is not a
man upon il but is connected with
the history Of the Buckeye State,
and each OF the nominees have Ia
bored Tor its welfare. Never before |
was so much Of intellect and wisdom |
assembled in convention at Colum-
bus, and the deliberations were char |
acterized by good feeling and enthu
siasm. The ticket presented is Wing |
all over, and if will be the glory Of
The wings OF Ohio 10 sustain IL man. |

little unreasonable and rcplenishing OF my

let these things BE- too long, that every person
must admit, but you need not he put TO the least
Inconvenience at the present time. All you
have TO do is TO step down to WELLS and You
can suit yourself with any kind OF clothes YOU
want, except Boots and Shoes. He thinks there
are incn engaged in that business exclusively,
enough TO supply the wants OF the community,
and he goes on the principle OFF trying to lire and
let lire.
John--Ah, that's the reason Wells don't keep
Boots and Shoes. Then such a man should be
encouraged by every friend OF Home Industry,
and whatever want in his line Of business |
will buy Of him, if he will sell to me right.
