The Governor, in reply to the question put
forth respecting the amount of the tax on Rum

$2O5, that the greatest part of that tax, accord

Homicide in LynchDurg, Va.-Colcnci
T.. G. Randolph Killed.

LYNcnBURG. Va, July 20.-Colonel
4. c. Randolph, proprietor of the Pied
mont land agency, q man Of some promi-
nencc and large means, was shot dead to-
day in difficulty with Lewis Wimbish
and John Wimbish, Jr., the last named
receiving a Slight wound in the head
Some months ago Randolph sold to d
man named Moe Of New Jersey the valus-
Die Green Hill farm, on Stanton river,
belonging to Col. John Wimbish, ST.,
for securities nominally worth sixty thous-
and dollars. These securities are said to
hayo proved worthless. Colonel VIM
bish was attempting to recover the farm,
claiming tbat the transfer was a frau lu-
lent transaction.
The immediate cause Of the shooting
was an insulting letter from Randolph to
young Jo!,n Wimbish in regard to the
controversy. Randolph was killed in his
Office receiving five wounds. The Vim
fishes Sere arrested.
