conducts the business of selling vegetables, lemons,
and oranges. Last evening, as he was removing his
show goods from the pavement to the security OF the
cear, susplcious-loohing individual poked himself
through the doorway, and. little by little, edged
himself nearer the proprietor. In to wnat
he wanted, he inquired II the storekeeper had much
money. GlauclnV at the bury, broad-shouldered
quesliOner, the other cautiously answered he had
very little. lhereupon, taking step nearer, the
stranger demanded that little portion, and Tor an
ansv er, got stunning blow on the temple, that
sent HIM reeling upon a pie OF potatoes
in the corner. stimulated by this first sue
the energetic storekeeper big in spirit, though
little IN body determined to keep the upper hand,
and showered upon his opponent multitude OF
blows that he could not resist. The result that

THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER i

:
A LYNcHBURGER IN. TRoUBLE-7-We yes
terday heard read portions Of letters to Kay
Ford, now confined in the city Jail for sw!ndling
the First National Bank of Lynchburg, from
his wife and mother-in-law, who reside in
Wabash, Indiana. These letters, which are
dated Oct. 18th, state that one Charles II.
Smith, recently from Lynchburg, and yet more
recently from Baltimore, has been tried u tnat
place for burning the houses ota General Cruiht,
as we'll as that of Ford mother-ln law, and n has
been sentenced to hang on the second OF No
vember. The arson was committed on the
night of the 9th, and was ,insugated by the
hope of plumber, in which it seems the perpe
traitor was not disappointed. Two persons
were burned to death, and child of Ford's
was dropped from window to save it, and
killed. A negro barber Of the town, who had
been seen in Crufit;s house on the evening. OF
the fire, was arrested, and threatened With
death if he did not disclose the lncendia'y-
He informed on Smith, telling them also where
he might be found. He got wind OF their
coming, however, and fled to Fort Wayne,
where he was apprehended, tried on the day
OF his return, and sentenced to be hanged. =
Smith went into that country, it further APP
pears, as a ped lIer of stencil tools. The young
man had gotten himself involved in sundry
dificulu befote he left this city, and had al
ready won unenviable reputation We hear
that his wife, an very modest aud correct lady,
yet lives near Lyuchburg -Lynchbrg Neaos.

OVER TIE WAY.
Gone in her chiIdlike purity
Out from the golden daY

Gone in her childlike purity
Out from the golden day
Fading away in the light so sweet,
Where the silver stars and the sunbeams meet
Over the silent way.
Over the bosom tenderly
The pearl-white hands are pressed
The lashes lie on her cheeks SO thin
Where the softst blush of the rose hath been
Shutting the blue of her eyes within
The pure lids closed TO rest.
Over the sweet brow lovingly
Twineth her sunny hair;
She was so fragile that Love sent down
From his heavenly gems thatsOft bright crown
To shade her brow with its waves 80 brown,
Light as the dimpling air.
Gone TO sleep with the tender smile
Froze on her silent lips
By the farewell kiss of her dewy breath.
Cold in the clasp of the angel Death,
Like the last bud of a faded wreath,
Whose bloom the white frost nips.
Robin--husbed in your downy bed
Over the swinging bough-
Do you miss her voice from your glad duet,
When the dew in the heart of the rose is set,
TIL its velvet lips with the essence wet
In orient crimson glow.
Rose-bud-under your shady lea
Hid from the sunny day
Do you miss the glance of the eye so bright
Whose blue was heaven to your umjd Sigh.
It is blooming now in a world of light
Over the starry way.
Hearts where the darling head hath lain,
Held by Loves shining ray
Do You know that the touch other gentle hand
Doth brighten the harp in the unknown land?
Jh, she waits for US with the angel band
Over the starry way

What General Sheridan Thinks2

General Shcridan, whose military divi
sion includes Texas, Florida and LouIsi.
ana, as General Thomas does Tennessee
and the adjoining country, is of the same
opinion as General Thomas, that it would
DOT be well 10 withdraw troops from the
southern states yet, that there is consid
cradle bitterness of feeling still among the
people of the states where he commands,
that special legislation for or about the
negro is unwise and Of no use, that they
ought to be secured 10 property and per.
son-which the Civil Rights act accom-
p!isbes-aDd that "the negrO's social sta,
tus will be worked out by the logic of the
necessity fcr his labor. it is the only labor
that can be obtained in the south toreome
time TO come"
The troops are needed, he says, to
give security to northern capital and to
the Union people, and to give an actual
and moral supper: to the freedmen until
they have time to work out their social
status; | also believe their presence ne,
cessaFy to prevent quarreling among the
southern people themselves.

No Panic,

It is gratifying evidence of the pre-
vailing commou sense that there is nc
cholera panic in the city. Men meet and
talk of the cholera as they discuss the
price of stocks or the news from Europe
bnt there is far less real alarm than 10
1910. II is understood that the doctors
can master the cholera even should it
break out as an epidemic, provided their
oiForts are aided by cleanly people-and
the tendency 10 cleanliness is universal.
Panics breed pestilencc therefore let ms
be cheerful, clean, and attend to our work
in the usual way, fearing no disease, but
prepared to meet if it comes.~-Ne,C Yorh,

My father died few months after, IL
consequence Of an accident aud while be
lay in his coffin, my brother Godfrey was
born.
My mother bad said that she thought
that grief about my father would kill her
and believe it did. l believe it was
that which made it 20 SO hard with her !;
for she only lived six hours after her ba
by was born. / shall never forget the
wild agony of her look when she knew she
vas not ng to live to take care Of him.

ten, but [ remember every word she said,
as though it were yesterday-looking at

| have never been sorry that, child as |
was, | promised her bat she died with
that shadow in her eyes, almost to the

almost the ontiro charge of my brother
Geofrey, even 10 his tenderest years. He
was a good lad and a STUART one, and
tender hearted loved him as my mother

what she meant by his bitter lot in life,
