THE --LATEST STORY ABOUT Jim Bennett IS
engagement to Miss May and the post
ponement of their marriage is as follows:
Mr., Bennett gave dinner party at his
house on Fifth avenue, some weeks ago,
at which several ladies, including Miss
May, were present. Mr.. Bennett got very
lively toward evening, and, the dinner be-
ing over, asked all the ladies to step down
into the billiard room, when he would
show them something they had never seen
before. Ali went down, and having, in
obedience to MI. BENEFITS request, got
up on the billiard table. were suddenly
startled by the entrance of two game cocks
which, amid the shrieks Of the ladies, who
did not dare TO get off the table, set to
fighting in dead earnest. The ladies scream
ed. Mr.. Bennett laughed, and the COCKS
fought until, torn and bleeding, they were
carried out, and the ladies were free to de-
scend from their perch. Report says that
Miss May was so dlsgusted at the behavior
of her intended husband that she was on
the point of breaking her engagement, but
finally it was agreed that the wedding
should be postponed for six months. to
give him a CHANGE TO repent, and, if Mr..
3. is not on his good behavior during that
time, the probability is that he will be able
to add one more to tbs already large list
Of his broken engagements. Springfield

STAUNTON, June ISL, 1916.
H. G. TINsLEY, ESQ :SIR-Your note of
this date has just been handed me by Capt.
s. T. Phillips
In it you ask for the retraction of an ex-
preston used in the Virginian of this
morning, to the effect that stateme MT in
letter over the signature of "Penn" pub
lished in the Richmond Dispatch of the
9th twas not true" and that it was
known to be such when the writer made it.
The sentence to which I referred, as con-
tanned in the article signed ssPenn" reads:
"Ihe only hadepent elected was James F.
Patterson, Clerk of the Hastings Court:
In the subsequent paragraph of the same
communication it is stated, "fre IndeDend-
enl Councilmen were electedo in the "2nd
Ward" tsl
Placing the two statements together, it
must have been known to the writer of
"Penn" that both could not he true, as
the one contradicts the other, unless it
was in the writer's mind that only the
names mentioned in the first paragraph
were voted for as ''oficers" of the city gov
eminent. If the latter be true, then the
construction given to the Dispatch COM
munication in the s'Virginian" is incor-
rect. With the assurance that the pre-
mise was wrong, the inference will he
promptly withdrawn. Otherwise | have
no Hretraction'' to make.
This note will be handed you by ]. Fred
Efinger, Esq.
Respectfully,

Horrible Scene OH the ScaEfOlea.
The following are the particulars of the
shocking hanging at Worcester, Mass, on

Horrible Scene on the Scaffold.
The following are the particulars of the
shocking hanging at Worcester, Mass, on
Friday last:
Samuel J. Frost was executed in Wor-
cester, Mass, for the murder of his wife s
brother, Franklin P. Towne, July 4, 1875,
in the barn On the farm owned by Towne
Frost has stoutly maintained all along that
he killed Towne in self-defence, and in an
interview on the day of execution, said
81 declare to all men that | die innocent
eff wllful murder" He has been apparent
ly Indifferent to his fate, refusing all coun-
sci or advice until within about two weeks;
has refused to be visited by clergyman.
Since that time he has been visited by G.
M. Lamson, but has shown no penitence,
and has been disposed to talk upon subjects
entirely foreign to the manner which his
spiritual adviser was trying to impress
upon his mind. Politics has been his princi-
pal theme and checkers his amusement.
Frost slept well the night preceding his
execution. On the fatal morning he con-
versed on Indifferent subjects, and said
cheerfully: II am the happiest man in the
prison this morning." AS the hour of his
death drew near, he was calm and deter
mined, and walked unasssted to the scat
fUlus +tC lt!ftHP ~ tClu%+hS.
"As the drop fell the first thrill Of a
shudder had not run through the specta-
tors when the body was seeil spinning at
the end Of the rope almost headless, fear
full tear extending over the front of the
front Of the throat, and the blood gushing
out in streams. The blood, forced upward
by the arterial movements, Spurted foun-
tain like upward from one or two feet, the
stream falling to the floor in a circle round
the han ing body. This circle extended
even &c the fraula work Of thh gallows,
which was in many places sprinklsd With
blood. The blood poured from the wound
down the front of the body and trickled
from the feet, forming pool directly be-
meath the body. For some two minutes
the arterial gushings of blood continued,
and the slow dripping of the blood from
the body continued longer. The knot of
the ropa FAD been placed behind '1srost's
left ear, almost around to the centre of the
neck. The drop was enough not only to
break his neck, but to sever the spinal col
umn entirely, leaving the body hanging by
the integuments of the rear portion only.''

.say Died for Love-"

/. Seldom in those dramas in real life, that
in tragic pathos surpass all that ever was
writ by playwright. has been brought any
thing more touching than the few lines,
in schoolgirl scrawl, addressed her parents
and sisters by Julia Sichel, a beautiful
young Jewess of San Francisco, who few
days ago committed suicide. Hers was
simply the old story of unrequited love-
There was no faint Of guilt about it to
awaken remorse, nor broken VOWS to be
reproached, but only blank despair. AS in
those few lines she unwittingly betrays, her
love was unsought, but so accompanying
was it that with unmaidenly boldness. she
sued for love in return, and, finding that
hopeless, the light Of her life gone, and she
sought refuge in death. Her letters tell it
all with that transparent simplicity which
no art can simulate. To her parents she
wrote: a@
Dear Mother and Futher:-I pray you
will forgive the sorrow [ cause you by my
rash act, but life is one dull blank to me
now. Do not blame Ben, for he has tried
| to reason with me, but all in vain. He can
give me no hope that shall ever be more
| than friend, and, rather than live with
out his love, have determined to take my
| life. There are few requests Iwould ask
of you and then am ready to die. First
of all, promise me, dear father, that you
will hold Ben entirely blameless, and for
the love bore him treat him ever as a
friend. do not want mother, Annie or
Mollie to wear mourning for me, for the
black garments would only be a reminder
of my sad end. Let me be buried where
the sun shines, and try to keep my grave
green. Say died for love. That is all
want the world TO know. Try to bear my
death bravely, and take comfort from my
brothers and sisters.
Dear parents, forgive and pray for your
poor daughter. -- JULIA.
Dear Mollie:-I would ask of you few
favors. They are these When [ am dead
give mother my gold set, Annie my tur-
quois ring, keep my watch and chain and
pearl ring for yourself, and give to Fannie
that set of fancy work I had commenced.
Let me be buried with my plain ring on
my finger, and put the buttons Ben gave
me in my coffin. Keep on with your mus
ic and play often for always dearly loved
to hear you. Now, dear Eugene, Fannie.
Jake. and Annie, Maurice and Mollie, all
goCd-by. Kiss me before am laid in my

WNDNATION!

We have been assur ed weekly by the
"Valley Virginian" that the old Council
was going before the public for vindica ton;
that their personal and official ohara cter
had been aspersed, and they were obliged
to do it. 1t was sorry plight in which
their organ placed them. Let us look at
the result: Messrs. W. B. Kayser, P. B.
Page, and NJ P. Funkhouser went before
the people of the 1st ward, for their vindi-
cation, and got it. Out of every 538 votes
cast, these four gentlemen received an
average Of 100 each, and of the 1870 the
tremendous proportion of 141 were blacks;
that is to say 40 white men believed
that their official record was "vindicated,
and an average of 337 didn't. So that
quartette stepped down and out. In the
I'd ward Messrs. Abby, Evans, Bagby and
WITT were up for s'vindication." They
received an average of 800 votes, and the
black vote in that ward was 2O4, leaving
l06 white men who thought they
were indicated. The Conservative ticket
which opposed them for Councilmen got
an average of $50 votes showing that there
were twice as many white men who
thought Messrs. Abby, Witt, Bagby and
Evans ought not to be returned to their
seats, as thought that they should be.
We have often heard of white washing
mems official record. but never before of
black washing. If these gentlemen can
feel comfortable in their seats 1t will show
the beneficial results of the new kind of
wash. Fortunately for all concerned no
body believed their organs a ssertion that
their personal character was on trial.

THE FnGHT AND THE VICTORY.

Perhaps our friends abroad who are re-
joicing over our victory SO heartily would
rejoice still more if they knew what obsta-
cles the courage and determination of the
Conservatives of Staunton had conquered.
It was no common fight between Conser-
vatives and Radicals. Strange to say some
of the hardest work was caused by the de-
termined and persistent Withholding of
their influence by some very prominent
Conservative leaders. Hon. A. II. H.
STUART from first to last refused to give
aid or comfort to the Conservative party.
Col. M. G. HARTMAN. heretofore promi-
nent leader was persistent opponent OF
the move, made strong speech against it
in the Conservative Primary meeting, and
never lent the weight of finger to help
the party in the desperate struggle. The
Staunton spectator" heretofore supposed
to reflect Mr.. STUART's views, and also
credited with being we'll informed as to the
views of the Conservative party, persis-
tently refused to recognize the fact that a
contest was going on, and so far from en-
COuldSlllS UIl0 uOVOACAV SofO OH UilN
weight of it's silence to the Radical party.
The supposed power of the wealthy Radi-
cal Mayor seemed to have paralyzed the
sources from which in politics the public
have been used to expect some leading OF,
at least advice. All eight members Of the
Council who voted the Radical Mayor into
office-nearly all of them men of position
and influence, threw their weight against
the Conservative ticket and did not pro.
hibit the use of their names on election
day on ticket headed by the Radical
Mayor. Every city officer who depended
on the Council for election opposed the
Conservative ticket and was an activs oppo
nent. y
With such a list of the opposition in oul
ranks, the result of the reign of ''loose
politics" in StauntoD for six years, oul
readers can understand how the Radicals
were so elated that their candidate fol
Mayor offered to bet 81 900 that he would
be elected, and how the Conservatives had
to put up such splendid fight to win.

Lively Times in a Kentucky Sum
day School.

We are informed that war was declared
and pitched battle fought in the Sunday
school at Hollis school house, on the Love-
laceville road, about fifteen and a-half
miles from Paducah, Sunday last, which
for time created considerable commo-
ton, and resulted in the severe wounding
Of young man known as HStep-J John Ru-
dolph,' by a young lady named Miss Me-
LISA Collier. 1t appears that Rudolph is
very long-tongued individual, and that
he had most maliciously slandered Miss
Collier, who is considered a young lady of
excellent standing in the community.
Having heard of his ISLANDERS, she sought
him. Learning that he was at the Sunday
school above mentioned, and being exas-
perated beyond measure, she armed her.
self with hickory club and entered the
Eouse crying. The superintendent was
just about to commence reading chapter
IN the Bible, when be was interrupted by
the exclamation, 'sWhere is the scoun-
drel?" The whole school looked around
in utter amazement, and discovered the
lady making towards the corner where Ru-
dolph was seated, with desperation in her
eye. Swinging her club as she approached
Rudolph, she was heard to say: ooh, he is
here" and whack went the shillalah upon
his head, giving him glancing blow, but
of sufficient force to knock him over on the
bench. Being in corner he could not
get out handily, and Miss G. seized the
club with both hands and gave him a ter
rife beating over the head, body, and his
arm, which he held forward for protection.
The superintendent endeavored to hold
the Young LADY, to prevent her from Kill
ling Rudolph, but he could do nothing with
her, and not till further assistance came
could she be taken away from the object
of her hatred. Rudolph's arm was very
badly hurt. He employed Governor King
to assist Mr.. Samuel Bryce, county at
torney, in prosecuting the case, and the
trial came off before Squire Emmett Ru-
dolph, resulting in fine of one cent and
costs against the young lady. Step-John
Rudolph was fined SIS. There is strong
probability that slander-suit will grow
out Of it. If what we have heard is true.
Miss Collier should have been permitted to
exhaust herself in the clubbing exercise.

oTAUNTON, June 1; 1876.
II. c. TINsLEY. ESQ: SIR Your note
by the hands of Capt. S. T. Phillips, in
response to one addressed by me to you,
through j. Fred. Effinger, esq.,, is received.
If am to understand you as regard ing
the name mentioned in the first paragraph
in the letter to the s'Dispatch'' as the only
'oflcers" Of the city government, and that
"Councilnen" are not officers, then the
criticism did you injustice. I, myself, did
net and do not draw such distinction, re-
cOgniZing "Councilmen" as "oflicers" Of
the government. [ treated simply of the
statements in the two paragraphs, which,
to my mind, were contradictory, an d so
stated.
With a disposition to do you as well as
myself full justice in the premises, I have
OILY to say if you place a different inter-
probation upon the terms ''offieers'' and
''councilmen, to what l have given
not regarding "councimen'' as ''officers,"
then the assignment to you of an inten-
tionally untruthful statement was wrong.
1t is a different understanding of terms,
and with that mutually acknowledged, the
words complained of will be withdrawn.
Mr. Effinger will hand this note,
Respectfully,
s. M. YOsT.
