FINISHED HIS CoNTRACT.-Last Friday Mr.
T. B. Jones passed through Stanton with a
large lot of railroad stock en- route to Western
Maryland. He had just completed his con-
tract on the Valley railroad, near Midway,
doing the work with great promptness and
satisfaction to the company, and doubtless
with profit to himself. In connection with
Mr.. B. B. Codwise, under the name of Cod
wise & Jones, he has secured heavy contract
on the West Virginia Central and Pittsburg
railroad, and will at once proceed to its execu-
Eion. HIS business tact, fine administrative
qualities and excellent judgment justify the
prediction of future of promise and prospect
ty for him. Immediately after harvest Mr.
Jones expects to visit Stanton for the pur-
pose Of securing hands 1t will be Il good OPP
portunity for first rate men to secure long
job at 81 40 per day.

DOUBLE DEATH BY LIGHTNING On Sat-
urday last terrible accident occurred near
Whites Gap, in the lower edge of Rockbridge
county Two men were instantly killed by
lightning They were VIM. Weekes and his
son, both intelligent, hard working men ana
good citizens. Mr. Wcekcs and his two sons
had been blowing in field, when the ap-
proach of storm warned them to seek shell
ter The father and his Oldest son went into
an old stable in the field and the younger son
started some little distance to bring saddle
out of the rain. When he returned to the sta
bic he noticed the horse standing with his head
under sill in the building, and struggling to
extricate himself He ran to the rescue, and
finding that he would need assistance, called
to his father and brother Not receiving an
answer he went up to where they were
and found them both dead. The father was
in sitting posture, with his eyes closed, and
his left hand holding his handkerchief to his
forehead as if in the act of wiping the perspl-
ration from his brow. The son was sitting al
SO, with his left hand thrown across his faith
er's right knee, and eyes wide open. When
first approached neither bore the faiEtest
symptom of death. The lightning must have
struck just between them. The boot on MIR
Wcekes' left foot was ripped from tEetop to
the sole, but there was no other mark SOf the
fatal visitation The hair on the son 3 head
WAS slightly burned, and there was a small
hr,;sn an bic loft hin ReVOnd this, no sign
of Deaths messenger. The house was no'
damaged, and the horse which was la the sta
BILE at the time was not killed. One OF his eye
balls was burst, and his system seemed to bt
severely shocked
Physicians were sent for as soon as the DO
dies were discovered, but they were unable u
do anything. The fatal work had been don't
quickly and surely. The funeral took place
at Fairfield on Sunday, the services being con
Quoted by Rev. Mr.. Bishop. A large concours'
of citizens was IN attendance.

Rev. r. Smithson, who has not yet recover
ed from the malarial attack he had in Nash
vile, was to have left Staunton this morning
for Taylor Springs, in Rockingham county, to
try the curative properties of that water. We
have not heard what arrangements have been
made for filling his pulpit during his indispo-
sition. He needs rest, and his congregation
can afford to do without services on Sabbath,
if it is necessary for his health.

tinued his supplication, "Are you
ready?" asked Marshal Raymond.
Yes, and may God have mercy upon my
soul" was the faint reply. A handker-
chief fell. the platform opened, and with
the expression, Goodbye. father" upon
his lips, James Leighton Gilmore, at 2:44
O'clock dropped into death. For q period
OF i've minutes there were slight convnl-
slons aud twitching. The pulse contin-
ued for seven minutes and at the expira.
ton OF twenty minutes life was pro.
nounced extinct, and the body was low

hence death must have been, as prayed
for, instantaneous.
Thus was conducted the first execution

The governor of Idaho, in his message
just delivered, denounces in strong terms
the evil of polygamy, which toa consid-
erable extent prevails in Idaho, and says
if the Mormon church cannot survive
the loss of this criminal practice it de-
serves to perish from the face of the
earth. He suggests the adoption of
some measures SO that no person shall
be excluded from testifying in any pro.
ceeding in polygamy on account of mar
riage relation with defendant; that CO.
habitation with more than one woman
will constitute an offense; that to on
courage doctrines Of polygamy or en-.
courage others to enter into polygamous
relatlons be punished severely; that con,
gress be memorialized to amend the
present anti-polygamy laws; calls atten
tion to the fact that in several counties
of Idaho Mormons both vote and hold
office; that the prohibitions of the Ed.
munds bill should apply to that terrific
ry as well as Utah; also directs attention
to present defects of laws in Idaho and
suggests remedies.

An interview with Judge Moody, after
his return from Washington to Dead.
wood, published in the Black Hills Dem.
ocrat, contains few words upon the
subject of the admission of Dakota. The
Judge takes hopeful view. He says
Mr.. Burroughs. chairman of the commit
tee on territories, ls confident that the
southern half of tho territory will be ad-
mittcd. He said further that any at.
tempt to make state of the entire terri.
tory would be vigorously opposed by
the republican element in congress.
One democrat in the house,
Abram s. Hewitt, of New
York, has stated both publicly and pri-
vately that he would vote for admis.
sion as matter of justice to Dakota,
Tho judge further remarked that the
people of Yankton county were moving
earnestly to effect an honorable settle
ment Of their Indebtedness and that Hale
and Reed would soon unite in the effort
for admission.
