4 TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
JnO. J. Burner Killed by Geo. W. Amiss
in a House of TIl-fame.

Our community was shock ed on laeL Wednes
day morning to learn that on the previous night
J. j. Burner II native OF Woodstock. had been
shot in house of i'll fame on Greenvi!le Ave-
nue.. near the gas house, by Geo. W Amiss, q
Harrisonburg a baggage-mast er on the Valley
Branch of The Baltimore and OHIO Railroad
The shooting occurred in the room Of Fannie
Lewis, a courtesan, about whom the difficulty
arose. 1t seems that Burner was 81 ting in her
room reading when Amiss arrived and demand.
ed admittance, and he then either broke open
the door or it was opened by Fannie Lewis. A
scuff1e then occurred between Amiss and Bur
ner, during VIII ch Burner was shet in the right
side of the abdomen. He then left the house,
and accompanied by Leila Lester, The keeper OF
the house, made his way to the Virginia Hotel
where he was stopping.
Amiss remained q few minutes after Burner
had left, then went to his room in the Burns's
Building on Augusta street, where he was
shortly afterwards arrested by Chief of Police
j. Fl. Waters.
Burner was attended by Drs a M and Halter
HeHkel, but from the nature of the wound IL
was impossible to pronounce it mortal, and
hence, though Commemorative Attorney
Echols was hourly present during Wednesday,
when Internal hemorrhages TOOK place al
O'Clock, Burner died before his dyin. declara-
ton could he taken.
Coroner Geo. Harlan had the following jury
Ofinquest impanelled: n: Nj. Young, Z. W.
Burke, H. L Powell, ]. a. Tempeton, w. II.
G0ode, and John B. BlacKley, who, after taking
testimony, rendered a verdict that The deceased
came to his death from pistol shot wound at
the hands of George Amiss.
On Friday special Grand Jury Of the Hust-
ings Court was summoned, which found an in
dictment against Amiss for the murder of Bur-
ner.
On the Valley train Wednesday evening, at
5 O'Clock, some two hours after her husbands
death, the wife of Mr. Burner arrived with her
b 10y, accompanied by Il. f. Burner brother
of her husband D. F. Burner, cousin. DR.. j.
l.. Campbell, the family physician. and ]. W.
Martin, connection of the family. She did
not see her husbands remains. Thur day
morning the sad company returned to Wood
stock with the remains. Mir. Bur err was in
sured for $1,000 in the Valley Mutual of Staun-
ton.

DEATH OF JUDGE BIRD Hon. Mark
Bird, Judge of the Circuit Court of this
district, died at his residence, in this
place, Yesterday, about l o clock, P. M,
aged ~ years.
In the death of Judge Bird, the town
has lost one of its BEST citizens. and the
State an upright, Just Judge. He com
meDced the practice of law in this place
about fifty years ago. For number of
wears he was associated with the late
Philip Williams of Winchester. He
geld the position of Common wealth Is
Attorney of this county until the period
of reconstruction. His term as Judge
of the Circuit Court began about seven
years ago and would have expired the
first of next January. He held his last
court at Harrisonburg, late in the fall,
and expected to preside at the Court
held in Shenandoah in December, but
when the time arrived he was unable to
undergo the labor required and bis place
was filled by Judge Turner, of Front
Royal. He continued to fail gradually,
at no time suffering much pain. Last
week bis condition was regarded as
very critical and his children were sum
moned home. Fortunately they all
reached home in time to converse with |
him and to be present with him as ne
approached the close of life.-Shenan-

The sale of the magnificent farm of
Col. J F. Kent, lying three miles be-

at the sum of S36. 700. has been con
firmed, and the terms of sale having
been fully complied with by Mr.. New

has been given. We learn that Mr..
Newberry will occupy the premises
with his family, in which case Wythe

family will prove acquisitions to society.
A decree has been entered for the re- sale
of the mill property, which was sold on
the same day as the other for 500 900.
Unexpected contingencies or complIca-
tions arose which prevented the pur
chasers from complying with the terms
of sale as to this very valuable property
and hence the decree for its re sale,
which will be made, naming the props

The case of Antoni VS.. GreenhoW has
been advanced by the Supreme Court of
the United States over 800 cases on &C
count of its involving questions of inn
portance to all the people of the United
States, and it was ordered to be argued
on January 8 The case was carried to
the Supreme Court to test the conslitu-

the Virginia Readjusters. Counsel for

and in the presence of the opposing
side, which will of course challenge
any incorrect statement of fact, it will
