KIDNAPPED CHILD DISCOVERED. - At
Pittsylvania Court House; Va, on Sat
urday, an Italian organ grinder, accom-
panied by woman and child, were on
the streets-the man making music and
the woman begging-when Mrs SaFTie
Francis, from Word Springs. Va, came
up and claimed the child and had the
Italian arrested Mrs. Francis gave a
straight, plain aud fearful story. She
says she was divorced from her bus
band in Halifax county in 1872, and
that her only child then. living was a
baby about four wears of age, which
was given to her husband, Felix Fran.
els; that he went to Tennessee, taking
the child with him, and some time
afterwards wrote to her that the child
had been accidentally drowned in a
barrel of water; and afterwards he
wrote to her father that the child was
living and WE'LL
A few days ago these Italians came
towards the springs where she was liy
ing, and she recognized the boy as her
child as soon as she saw him, and she
says she can prove that it is her ciild.
The Italian, on the other hand. says
that it is his sisters's child, who accom- :.
panied him, and tried to prove it by
producing papers and passports from
Italy. Judge Coles ordered the sher-
if to take the child in charge till next
Monday.

The BALTIMORE OPERA HOUSE De.
sTRoYED. This morning at about hall
past ore o'clock, An alarm of FIRE was
struck from box 1876 which was fol-
lowed Immediately by a second alarm,
and in few moments by general
alarm. .,
The cause was the discovery of the
fire in the kitchen of the restaurant No.
8 East Baltimore street, kept by Hugh
Herman and the flames there com
menced to spread in an extraordinary
quick time to great confagration,
which consumed Washington Hall,
otherwise known as the Baltimore
Opera House and destroyed the build
lngs within the entire block bounded
by the falls, Baltimore street and Front
and Plowman streets.
Z The entire property was owned by
Hugh Gelstons estate and it is believed
was only partially insured. The pro-
bable loss by the destruction of the
buildings and the stock and fixtures of
firms doing business within them is
estimated at not less than $4,000.

Hon J. T. HARR1s,delivered speech
to the Conservatives of Shenandoah on
last Court day. His speech was brief,
but well received by his audience. He
referred to the fact that his nomina-
ton was unsought upon his part He
gave brief statement Of the bills which
had been introduced into the House of
Representatives by himself. Among
the number was one enabling soldiers of
the war of 1912 to receive pensions
without taking the test oath, and en-
abling widows of soldiers of the war
of 1912 who were married prior to 1850
to receive pensions. He also offered a
bill which stopped suits against old
post masters. He opposed the high
tariff which enables the manufacturers
of New England to impose upon the
people of the South and West, and the
extension of patents which now draw
50 much money from the agricultural
class of the community. He did not
seem to be under the impression that it
was necessary to make any strenuous
efforts to secure votes. He will, we
have no doubt, receive heavy con-
servative vote not only in this county,
but throughout the entire district.

A HOMICIDE AT A WEDDING PARTY.
The wedding of Mr. Modest Steib
and Miss Marie Reulett took place at
Vachere, St. James parish, last evening
There was alarge wedding party, and
everything went off smoothly until
about seven o'clock in the evening,
when two of the guests, Dosellm
Thibodcau and Rupbin Simeon, be-
came engaged in difficulty, which
ended in Thibodcau being stabbed in
the heart and almost instantly killed by
Simeon. Thibodeau was pretty heavy
under the influence of liquor, when he
became quarrelsome, and after aannoy
ing good many of those present at
the wedding went for Slime on, who
tried to avoid a difficulty but was
thrown, by Thibodeau, who fell on top
OF him. Phibodeau began using his
fists on Simeon, who asked for pardon
repeatedly without his antagonists
stopping a. moment in the beatin g
which he was inficting, All at once
Thibodeau, however, fell back, crying
out 81 am stabbed" pressing his hand
on his left breast. from which the blood
flowed rather fast. Simeon, it seems,
fearing tor hislife, pulled out his pocket
knife and stabbed Thibedeau in the
left breast, striking the heart. Thibo
deau expired almost instantly Terror
stricken by this unexpected drama
those who witnessed it were unable to
detain Simeon, who after getting rid of
his opponent, at once fled to parts un>
known, and has not since been heard
ON O. Times.
The political situation in the second
Virginia district is rather complicated.
Colonel James H. Plat, Jr, the present
incumbent and republican nominee,
finds himself engaged in a triangular
fight, with odds against him. A col.
ored man ia Yorktown also claims to
be the regular nominee of the republi,
can party, while tho conservatives have
nominated Hon. Jno. Goode, a very
popular man. The district is strongly
republican, but with the votes divided
the conservatives hope to elect their
candidate.
In Gonzales county, Texas, last week
Mr.. Austin's little boy, about six years
old, went out to play, and after time
he was missed, and nothing could be
found Of him. After looking some
time, they found him buried in cotton
pen and smothered to death. II is sup
posed that he was playing in the cotton
and dug hole into it and getting into
the hole, as any child would, that the
cotton rolled down on him, burying
him alive.

Tas Republican lsplit in Richmond Virginia

RICHMOND, Oct THE dissensions
among the republicans of this (the
third congressional district eliminated
to-day in the nomination of two candi>
dates tor congressional horrors. Two
conventions were held, each having
full delegations, and each claiming to
be the legal gathering Of representatives
of the republicans of the district. Both
conventions met at noon at different
places, and after the usual preliminary
business proceeded regularly to work,
the result Of which was the nomination
by one of Hon. j. Amber Smith, the
present incumbent in Congress, and by
the other of Rush Burgess, Esq, col
lector of United States internal revenue.
The latter, as heretofore reported, was
nominated for the same position at the
convention held on the 10th of Septem.
Der. From present Indications both
candidates will enter the contest, as it
sicertain neither will withdraw in favor
of the other, as the feeling between the
two factions is very bitter. 1t is possi-
BILE, however, yet not very probable,
that compromise may be effected in
the interest of the party by each with
drawing and new man put forward.
