virglnia's llayylns . Laws.

A dispatch from Richmon, ', Va, Ma.
80, says: The sending Of Edn 'und Kin
ney (colored) and Mary Hall (white.
to the Penitentiary for five yea. rs, fo
marrying in violation Of the statut. IS o
this Commonwealth, has caused gr. al
alarm to such mixed cou uples, many O.
whom have lived here undisturbed for
years. In case which has just come
to light 1t appears that a colored man
killed his white wife to avoid trial.
1t seems that R. T. Coleman, of Cum
berland, well-to do colored man, was
married many years ago to white wo-
man. She died, and just one year ago,
in the District OF Columbia, he married
another white woman. Having return
ed to Cumberland, they were indie.
ted. They were to have been tried Oh
Msnday last. On Sunday she died,
svincing all the symptoms OF narcotic
poisoning. On Wednesday her body
was disinterred, and the stomach re-
moved.
To-day it reached this city, and was
placed in the hands of State Chemist
Taylor. The husband however, has
not yet been arrested. The law max
ing the intermarriage of the races
felony was passed only about a year
ago. The mixed couples married pre-
viously can only be prosecuted for un-
lawful cohabitation, it is said.

Cincinnati, Columbus, Wheeling, AL
bany, Chicago, Milwaukee, Detroit
Toledo, New Haven, Hartford
Providence, Indianapolis, Louisville
Buffalo, Pittsburg, and San Francisco
all tell of an entire suspension of pub

AT Washington, D. c., the ceremonies
were participated in by the Presiden,
and Mrs. Hayes, who initiated the deco

cling wreaths upon the tombs of the un-
KNOWN
At Gettysburg, the ceremonies were
attended by Governor Hoyt and men,
bers of the State Legislature. General
McCandless delivered the grafton, and
Governor Hoyt spoke briefly in response
to a call. At Wheeling, W. Va, the
proceedings were varied by sham bat
tie on the fair grounds. In several
cities of the South, a number of ex- Com

More Rnlbad.

On Wednesday night last some thief
or thieves broke into the store of Jacob
Boys, at Summit Bridge, by cutting a
panel out of shutter, breaking pane
OF glass, AID removing four nails from
over the lower flight of sash. The rob.
bers not being very voracious only stole
a pair of boots and articles amounting
to about SIS. The robbery has an
amusing side, also. Mr.. Boys had a
dog which he priced so highly that he
had his picture taken, put in frame,
and hung up in the store that he might
look upon it after the dog had gone the
way that all good dogs 60. His dogship
lad always been locked up in the store
and his master always felt safe so long
as he knew that his dog was in the
store. Mr.. Boys disgust may be well
imagined when on Thursday morning
he entered the store to find it robbed
and his dog ready to greet him with
his friendly wag of the tail. The dog
is for sale.

Biaines FIGURES.

Washington, May 20.-There was an
error in the Associated Press report
Of Senator Blaine's remarks on Thurs
day. In comparing the votes of North
ern and Southern Congressional dis.
tricts, the Northern districts each cast
over 10000 votes. Mr.. Blaine III
Northern districts cast over 10000
votes. Of the nine remaining North
ern districts Mr.. Blaine said that all
except two cast oyer $4,000 votes. In
the South only thirty three districts
cast over 20, 200 votes, while the re-
naming seventy three Southern dis
trcts averaged less than $1,000 votes.
Several of them going below 5000, and
one as low as 1000. 1t is evident that
some Democratic Senators are annoyed
by these figures and regret the intro
duction Of the Rhode Island case.

A BOYS MIsCHIEvOUsNEss
H. shoots q Companion with n
Toy Pistol-The Load Takes If
feet IN the Lads Face.

This morning about half past 8 o'clock
two boys named George Ginder and
William McGrenn were playing in the
vicinity of 5th and Orange SITS. Nc.
Grenn had small toy pistol one of the
kind unfortunately SO common as to be
in every little boys pocket who can
raise the required ninety-nine cents for
their purchase. This pistol Ginder
was playing with Notwithstanding Nc
Grenn told him it was loaded.
Standing near the two boys was q
little fellow much younger than the
two lads above mentioned In order to
frighten him Ginder would hold the
pistol in the little fellows face and
make such pretentions as to cause the
boy to think that his intentions We're
serious. Through some means or other
the hammer of the pistol was raised
and Ginder, while the chamber was di
rected in the boys face, inadvertently
pressed the trigger and the pistol ex
ploded, the ball taking effect in the lit.
tie fellows cheek, tearing deep cash.
Gindrr when he saw the effect of
his actions turned to his companion,
McGrenn and accused him of secreting
cartridge in the chamber. Ginder
left with such preci pitation that he has
not been captured. A gentleman named
fa.ricl l.. mbert coming along about that
time took hold of McGrenn and brought
him to the Hall. The wounded boy
was taken in charge of by Thomas |.
Russell, the undertaken, who took him
t. the home of his grand parents, at
No. $40 Orange street, when Drs. Short
lidge AMI Ogle We're called in and
ex ractred the ball. The boys name is
Lawrence Strahan, and he is about six
years of age.

Your petitioners, citizens of New Castle

with distrust at the efforts that have
been made by interested parties to pre-
vent an inquiry into the amount OF
monies received by our County officials
as fees and allowances. If every mat

cause why the people should not
have any information they may
require of their officers who are only

such an investigation that We may be
able abl. to know Just the exact situa-
ton of how the offices have been man
aged and the amount of money paid to
each county officer. And your petit
