II "a understood from reliable authority
that Senator r.. +, williams, OF Nottoway
county. Of " Big Four" fame, WIZ not en-

ent candidate. though considerable pres

glad to support him were nc 10 become
NJ. r. f.. Cain. whose death at Norfolk
l. announced in the Dispatch OF to-day, was
a native Of Petersburg, and one OF the best
printers in the State. He leaves WIDOW
and several children. A few years ago Mr'
Gain was one of the representatives In the
Common Council from Flfth Ward, anu,
financially speaking, was at one liine qui'e
well to do. He has many relatives ana
friends here, who are panied to hear OF his
sudden death. ,
The remains of Miss Anne p. Friend,
daughter OF the late CHARLES Friend, OF
Prince George county, were brought 10
this city on the train from the Nortn ias'
evening, ard her funeral took place from
Grace church to-day in the presence OF
large assemblage OF mourning relatives ana
friends. Miss Friend died OF typnold-
fever in Leesburg, Va, on Tuesday night'
where she was visiting married sister,
She was a young lady OF great personal
beauty and charms. and OF highly cuiti.
waited mind. She was near relative OF
Rev. Dr. Gibson, who was summoned nome
from his vacation to officiate at the funeral.
Judge Joseph 5. Budd, who it was re-
ported had declined the appointment rs a
member of the new School Board, attended
a meeting Of the Board last night, took the
oath of office, and acted as president.
1t is reported that during the storm yes
terday evening the lightning struck the
Ettrick cOttOn-factory. Several Of the Ope-
ratiycs felt the shock, but were not III
| jured.
A gentleman Just returned from short
visit to some Of the eastern counties OF this
state, and to northampton county, In
North Carolina, gives very flattering re-
ports Of the crops in those sections. With
| late fall the cotton crop will show the
| best yield for the past ten years. Mr..
George p. Burgwyn, large planter on the
|
| Roberts Baker, OF your city, has one field
OF cotton numbering 40 acres, which VIII
make 40 bales.
The gentleman above referred to says
! that wel-iniormed politicians in the old
| North State assured him that the so-called
! Liberal movement is meeting with no sort
Of success, and that the State will go DEM
ocratic by at least 10000 majority. The
prohibition question rs an issue is dead,
| but the prejudices OF those parties who
took an active part in the canvass are not
dead. and both parties have had to choose
their candidates from those very lucky
gentlemen who kept on the fence. North
ampton county is largely Republican, but
Messrs. Il. +. PEBBLES and W. G. Bowen,
two OF the most prominent lawyers in the
county. will run as independent candi-
dates for the Legislature, with fair chances
OF success. 1t seems to he conceded that
senator Ransom will be returned to the
! United States Senate il the Legislature is
! Democratic.
Ii j. learned here that Mr.. MurreIl. bro
Their Of the unfortunate young man VINO
was murdered at Princes store, in South
amptOn county, in December last, fell into
Il well several days ago and broke his neck.
The impression grows stronger every
day that Jorgcnsen will run as an indie
pendent candidate from this district. 1t is
quite certain that a majority OF the Codli-
| tioni,ts in Grcensyille were in favor OF his
nomination, and it is said that at the con-
vention. when Jorgcnscn called for all the
JOrgensen men to retire, there were left
only about twenty persons in the room.
