Shocking Outrage.

On Wednesday of last week. near Kee-
zletown, Rockingham, while the family OF
Mr.. Arch. Taylor were absent three
tramps, two men and woman, came to
the house. Ada Black, an orphan girl Of
eighteen employed there, was the only per
son in the house. The two men went in
side and overpowering the girl outraged
her person, their female companion re-
naming outside. The news of the out
rage greatly excited the community and
had the perpetrators been found they
would have been hung. Gov. Cameron
has offered 500 for their srrest. They had
the appearance of gypsies, and desc;ip-
ton of them given by the girl, says that
the larger of the men has a small dark
moustache and dark hair, aud is rather
rough and heavy set; the smaller one
wears no beard and has light bair. Both
of them are of rather dark-red complex
ion, wear fat blue caps with letters on
them. and are Of shabby appearance gem
orally. A woman of very dark, sunDur.t
complexion, who had on an old DIRE ss. bon
net. and All old black veil, accompanied
the two men.

Defeat Of the Road Law.
STILL ANOTHER CHANCE FOR aooD
ROADS.

STILL ANOTHER CHANCE FOR GOOD
ROADS.
From the vote on the acceptance Of the
road law by che cicizsns Of the county last
Thursday. which we give below, it will be
seen that the law was rejected by an
overwhelming majority. One reason we
think for this, was the brief period clap
sing between the time the Dilr was made
public and the day for voting. Many objec-
tions were urged against it. many Of them
and not the least effective in its defeat,
evidently arising from lack Of corfsct In
formation about its provisions. Some
thought the tax was ton cents on the
dollar, and that man worth $40 would
have to pay 81 and work four days; some
preferred return to the old district sys-
TEN; some didn't want to work roads for
the smaller tow ships which would pay
but little'-and other objections which
would have been removed il the bill had
been carefully read by each voter. The
following is the vote not yet officially de-
clared. but made up from the poll.books

The Commissioners of the election meet
to-day but the official count will not prsb-
ably change the figures much.
Still there is one more chance for our
our people who want better roads before
the legislature meets in two years from
now. The following is section No. A Of
the present road law which gives an OPP
portunity for application to the Supervisors
for better system;
's44. 1t shall be lawful for the Beard Of
Supervisors of any county. upon the Pc
tition of Twenty-Five freeholders from any
magisterlal district. 10 districts affected
thereby, to adopt mixed system Of con-
tract and labor for working the roads of
such county, such system nay be applied
to the whole county or any magisterial
district thereof; provided that no citizen
shall be compelled to labor more than
three days in one year, nor shall any tax
greater than tuc cents on the 500 of prop
srty be levied under such system, and pro-
vided further, that upon the petition Of
fifty freeholders of the county. the c0un-
ty court shall have power to set aside and
annul the act of the Board Of Supervisors
after having caused thirty days notice OF
the filing of such petition to be given to
the Clel K eff the Board. Taxes under this
section shall be levied and collected as
other county levies.

SUDDEN DEATH OF PROF. ROGERS
Prof. ". B. Rogers, the father of Geology
in this century, and former Professor OF
Natural Philosophy in the University Of
Virginia, fell dead on Tuesday last while
addressing the graduating class of the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
at Boston, on the rapid advance of SCI
entifc knowledge. He was in his 18th
year. He spent some time during the
first of May with Maj. Jed Hotchkiss in
Stanton, comforting about new CO.
graphical map Of the Virginias. After
visiting the Natural Bridge he went to
Luray Cave,f on lis way home to Bos-
ton, and from there wrote to Maj. Hotch-
kiss:
II leave the dear old scenes with much
regret that l could not now prolong my
stay, but with reserved resolution to
come again and often hereafter.''
When Prof. Rogers was State Geologist
of Virginia. he made a geological survey
of the State. He had arranged to visit
Maj. Hotchkiss again next week.
