A VIRGINIA FHMALK TEACHER FOUND
DEAD IN HER ROOM.
NORFOLK, May z, 1873.
Yesterday afternoon Miss. s. A. Stuart
formerly Of Alexandria, Va, but for the
last four years teacher of public school
In Norfolk county, situated at lions
Church, on Lambart's Point road, was
found dead upon the floor of her apart
ment, over the school room. At three
o'clock p. M, three negro women were
seen to leave the school building, and
soon after negro girl called at the resi-
dence of Mr.. w. T. Capps, near by and
told his wife that Miss Stuart was danger
ously ILL., Mrs. Capps Immediately hur-
ried to the house, but arrived too late to
aid the sufferer, as the vital spark had
already fled.
The body was lying upon the floor in
an almost nude state, and upon the bed
was found a pocket book open and empty
1t is evident that the three negro women
who were seen to leave the house drug
ged and then robbed her, as no marks Of
violence could be found upon the body
and search showed that the money had
been taken. A further Investigation
revealed the fact that several artioles of
furniture were also missing.
An inquest was held, but 1t failed to
bring to light any further particulars
The three suspected women are still at
large, but every effort will be made to
clear up the mystery and bring the guilty
ones to Justice. Miss Stuart was very
highly esteemed for her many vistues.

The Hare's Corner Hotel.

A VALUABLE ADDITION TO THE AGRI-
CULTURAL INTERESTS OF THIS STATE.
r Sporting men and breeders of fine
stock will find valuable acquisition to
their interests, in the transfer to the
Hare's Corner Hotel of the training
course and stables of VIM. H. Doble &
Son, the distinguished drivers and the
most noted horsemen and trainers in the
United States. The young agricultural
lists of this community would do well to
make note of this fact, and observe the
methods of horse treatment practised by
the Messrs. Doble. ......
VIM. ii. Doble, Jr., is at present the
pride.of all breeders of racing stock for his
abilities as a trainer, driver and Jockey
AS driver he probably has but one su-
perier-his distinguished father. II is
related that on one occasion, during a
race where Goldsmith Maid was one of
the leading competitors, the young man
drove the Maid in two heats and lost
both. As the purse was large, and the
stakes larger-the credit and fame of the
mare being involved--D oble ST., took the
ribbons, and brought the mare down to

trainer Of Flora Temple, and the owner
and trainer of Goldsmith Maid. ,asg,l I.i
On Tuesday afternoon the Dobles for.
mally opened their new and desirable
institution, and introduced its novelties
to about five hundred friends, for whom
an elegant dinner was provided. The
visitors next inspected the ground and
premises, which were found In complete
order, and in the most satisfactory con-
dition. The track, which Is five-eighths
Of mile long, was in fair condition, and
the ,,sS stables les hay. haze M besia thoroughly pyei

1t is understood that the Democratic
joint ADVISORY Committee, which has
for some days been deiIberating on the
propriety of agreeing 10 a resolution for
Investigating the Florida and other
election frauds, aud whick is known to
have been averse to an. investigation by
Congress, this morning determined to
request the judiciary Committee OF the
House to bring In a resolution stating
that grave and apparently well substan-
tiated allegations of fraud In the Presi-
denual election in Florida and Louis
lana have heen made, and requesting
permission from the Housekto examine
into otheir truth and to send for persons
and papers.s ul -n..fi saf = .i -.
Whsnever this resolution Is offered in
the House tho republicans (pIobably by
Mr.. HaIe) will move to amend 1t by au-
thOriZlng the committee TO receive and
examine also papers and evidence charg-
ing frauds In the CPresidential election in
Mississippi, Oregon aud Alabama, and
making it their duty to induire into such
allegations, with like powers TO send for

Speaker could restore order. Finally the
House voted, by 1S6 to 1o7, that the de-
bate should 20 on, Mr.. Wood having re-
fused to accept any motion or proposi-
ton about the bill or for shortening de-
bate until the mbefs Of the committee
and others who desire have spoken. Mr.,

made one of the ablest and most impor-
tant speeches of the session in favor of

sutiicien amount Of interest in the
political affairs Of the parish to attend
a meeting or not. Our experience
has always been that it is hard strug-
gle to induce enough citizens to turn
out to get up respectable ward meet
ing, especially in the Rayville ward.
After all that has been said, we
doubt if dozen more men could have
been induced to participate in the
ward meeting that elected delegates
to the parish convention. even if it
had been postponed to the middle of
the day =; though we would have pre-
ferred the experiment had been made
However, it is our sincere desire
that these meetings will be largely
attended, for we are exceedingly anx-
ious to ascertain the wishes of ma
jority of the Democrats of our paris =
We will be at the meeting of the
second ward to-day, if one is held,
and try to inform oursclfa a. to the senti-
ments of a majoritv Of our ward but if
only a corporal's guard is present we
will still be left in ignorance touching
this matter.
If the meeting is largely attended,
we hope it will be harmonious, end
that every one will be allowed a free
expression of his opinions, for it is
only by this means that we can hope
to gain the desired Information.
