Republicans Less HopefuI.

WASHINGTON, October 3.-The Demo-
cratic prospects in Ohio are growing bright.
er. Republican O1Iioe holders here who be.
long to that state are no longer claiming
that Foraker will he elected by $4,000 to
10000 majority; they have come down to
5000. The Democrats should not, how.
ever, pin their faith to Ohio. 1t is never
an uncertain State when the opponents of
Democracy concentrate their strength. 1t
is as reliable Republican State as Indiana
is Democratic. The Democrats here think
that Judge Hoadly has a chance to pull
through, but under the circumstances
hardly a filhtinH chance.

CLARKsBUEG, October 3.-Jndge Gideon
D. Camden was married this morning to
Mrs. Myra H. Davis. The preliminaries
were arranged with great secrecy. The
Judge is thought to be about eighty, and
the charming widow is reckoned at forty.
To say that the event has not caused much
comment and surprise is a reckless asser.
ton. 1t is putting it mildly to say that So
ciety circles are agit9ted. There is a ru-
NOR that the honeymoon will be spent at
the Hot Springs of Arkansas.

years Judge OF the Harrison circuit, before
the State of Virginia was divided. He was

Died, on the lst Of August, 1888, at
Lochiel. his late residence, near Hills
boro, n. c., in the Goth year of his age,
Capt. John Cameron, oldest son Of the
late William Cameron, and Anne Cal g,
his wife.
Capt. Cameron was born in Petersburg,
Va, and was united to many OF the
most influential families on James River,
and in tie tide water counties.
He married early in life, Frances. third
daughter of the late John Hawks, OF
Newborn, N. c.. and leaves two sons.
The tidings of the death of this tai
ented and accomplished gentleman will
be received with much regret bv the wide
circle of relatives and friends who knew
him in the days when his extreme per
sonal beauty, elegant manners. genial
wit, and rare social qualities made him a
brilliant central figure in all companies.
A gentleman of tie old school, he was
the representative of a type that is fast
disappearing from among US, and yet is
not replaced by anything so good.
AS editor of the Oxford Mercury and
the Beaufort Halcyon, he acquired a
brilliant reputation as a writer; both OF
prose and verse, and had fortune favored
him less in early youth, his talents would
have enabled him to write his name high
up III the annals of literary fame.
Peace to the worn wayfarer who now
rests in the humble hope of a joyful res

LET THEM BE HANGED !-oquiIe "A
j.. Hester, as clever a man as Person
county has, suffered the destruction OF
his barns a second Gf not the third y
time. NJ lton Chronicle says:
This time the wretches burnt a barn
with a thousand dollars worth of tobac-
co in it. also l70 bushels of wheat and
40 bushels of oats. The barn was burnt
last Sunday. A white man named Jerry
HolsOmback acted so strangely in insist
ing that he had nothing TO do with it
when no one had even suspected him
that on last Tuesday he was arrested
and lodged in jail-Jerrv said that his
brother William Holsomback burnt he
barn--Bill has been loose lodging
around from forfeiting his recognizance
at the last term of court when charged
with stealing tobacco. &C.. from Capt.
Hester. On Tuesday night one hundred
men were securing the woods for William
and on Wednesday he came forward and
delivered himself up--but asserted his
entire innocence of burning the barn.
He was lodged in jail with his brother
Jerry. Jerry insists that he didn I burn
1t but that Bill did. There was a str,no
feeling to lynch,and only an uncertainty
as to positive guilt of the parties pre-
