The recent decision Of judge Hughes
in the United States Circuit Court,
which sustained the Virginia statute
forbidding the marriage of persons of
differept races, is having most disas-
trous effect on mi-cegenating darkies
in the Old Dominion. to day another
and most singular case came to light
from Cumberland county. The facts,
as related, are flat Il. T. Coleman
(colored), now aged forty, a resident
of that county, soon after the adoption
| OF the Fifteenth amendment aud the
passage of the civil rights bill turned
his back on ali the dusky bellies of his
acquaintance and aspired to the hand
of the white race. His suit was success
full. and they were quietly married in
| Washington. They returned to
Cumberland and lived happily and
unmolested until about two years ago,
when the wife died suddenly aud
rather mysteriously. Coleman was q
marrying man, but having been united
to a white woman considered it beneath
his dignity to take unto him one of
his own race for better or for worse.
He again wooed and won another
white female, twenty seven years old,
again repaired to Washington. aud GU
the 31st of May, 1873, was married to
his secord spouse.
The pair returned to Cumberland,
where they resided very costly and
serenely until the decision in the Nc
Kiuuer case broke upon their welded
bliss like thunder clap from a cloud
less sky. They were jointly indicted.
aud were to have been tried IN the
County Court of Cumberland on the
29th inst. for marrying contrary to
the laws of Virginia, which is felony
punishable by imprisonment in the
penirentiary for period not less than
/ two nor more than ten years. Coleman
and the woman were terror stricken
at the prospect of serving lengthy
period in the State prison, but 10 tho
case of the woman death interpreted.
She died suddenly on the 25th inst,
the day before that set for the trial.
Some people 10 the neighoorhood
think that the great mentai exotic
meut consequent upon arraignment for
violating the law vas the cause OF her
death, but others are iuclined to tho
opinion that Coleman poisoned his
wife in the vain hope of evading the
penalty of the law himself. The latter
opinion is so generally shared and the
circumstantiaI evidence points SO
strongly and conclusively in this di-
rection that the body of the woman
was exhumed and tho stomach has been
sent to DR.. W. II. Taylor, the State
Chemist, for analysis to ascertain if POI.
SON was used. Coleman was arrested,
and is nov held under the swo char>
gos of illegal marriage and murder
of his soscalled wife.

be blighted; but from present appearances
this section will this year far exceed the
yield of several years, especially as re-

help could reach her the house was well
under Roadway, and herself we'll nigh

Some ladies' hurried to her assistance,
threw a blanket around her. and thus
succeeded in smothering her blazing
clothing, but the poor creature vas fright
