ADRIAN, Mich. October 6.-Ihe resi-
.dence of Mr.. William Dutton, on Butler
Street. was entered by burglars Thurs
day night, who carried off about $50, O0O
In mortgages, United States bonds, and
Michigan municipal securities, besides
small amount of money, a watch,
and some articles of family iewelry. The
entrance was easily effected through a
window of Mr.. buttons room which had
been left aiar for ventilation, and as the
safe was unlocked the robbers had
no difficulty in helping themselves.
One large package of valuable securities
was overlooked. The robbers got out
by unlocking the front door, and their
raid was not discovered till morning.
Mr.. Dutton, who is quite advanced in
years, was for long time president OF
the Lenawee County Savings Bank, and
is still member of the executive COM
mittee of that institution. Besides Mr..
Dutton, the other occupants OF the
house are his daughter, Mrs. Robert
Stewart, her two children, and house
keeper.
PIRATES.
GLOUCESTER, Mass, October g.
Quite a sensation has been caused here
by extensive robberies committed by
men supposed to be pirates. DIR. Con-
ant and his wife were asleep at their
house on Pleasant Street yesterday
morning early when tall man entered
their chamber. Mrs. Conant was partly
awakened, when the man clutched her
throat, placing one handkerchief to her
nose and another to her husbands.
Both were unconscious In mo-
ment from the effects of ether.
When they woke up jewelry and
siIverwate TO the value of $1,000
was gone. Among the articles taken
were several valuable pieces of silver
plate which have been in the Conant
family for four or five generations. A
number of watches were also missing.
The key to the front door had been
turned with nippers. DR.. Quimby' s
house and the office of Parmente & Rice
were next visited, and the safe of the lat
ter firm drilled open and robbed. Just
before daylight q boy delivering milk
saw a tall man with silk hat Jump
a fence and run toward the cove, and
shortly after sloop yacht put out OF 8
secluded nook in the cove. There were
four men on board. One wore silk
hat. two wore SLOUGH hats, and the other
black skull cap. The craft was carry
inc only small sail when it started.
Before the mouth of the harbor was
reached every stitch of canvas had been
raised, and as she went spinning out
into the open seait looked as though she
would capsize. The wind was blowing
SO hard the few other craft gong ou
went close reefed. No name could be
made out on the strange crafts stern by
the strongest glasses. 1t had evidently
been painted over or covered.

COl0red Trustees for White Schools.
LETTER FROM EX-GOVERNOR KEEPER.

MADISON, Va, September Is, 1888.
My Dear Judge,-Answering the inquiry
of your letter, l wish to assure you that I
have personally no knowledge and no recol-
lection on the subject of any negro being
appointed a school trustee during my Exec
utive term. All the information l have in
the premises is derived from the late news
papers. [ only know there never was a
day when the appointment of negro school
trustees with authority of law to choose
white teachers and to visit and to look after
the conduct of white schools could have
been more repulsive to any other man than
myself.
The allegation, as l gather it from the
newspapers, seems to be that several ne
groes were appointed school trustees by the
Board of Education of which Governor
Walker was member, and that one or
possibly two of these appointees were con-
tlnued in their places or re-appointed by
the Board of which | was a member
Whether or to what extent such allegation
may be true or false, or whether, in case a
negro was thus appointed or re-appointed,
his color was ever made known to any mem
Der of the Board of Education at Rich
mond, | have no means of ascertaining.
So far as | am concerned, this accusation,
in every detail of it, is nothing but news
With every effort to recall the past, l can
not recollect that ever heard of negro
school trustee in Virginia until within the
last few months. Everybody understands
that members of the State Board could not
personally know the men recommended for
such appointments throughout the State.
My idea is, that when names were sent
up with the usual recommendation from
local school authority, and proved accepta-
BILE to the Superintendent of Public In
struction, then they were accepted as salts
factory by the State Board as matter of
course. take it as rule that the real
work of selecting school trustees is done in
the districts; and that having been done to
the satisfaction of the State Superinten-
dent, the State Board had no cause to
make further inquiry unless, possibly,
when more than one name may have
been proposed for the same vacancy, or
where objections to a particular nominee
may have come up from his vicinage.
You are well aware that so far as my ex-
ecutive action related to the negro always
tried to accord him his exact constitutional
and legal rights-nothing less and nothing
more. You are we'll aware that when
vetoed the bill which practically disfran-
chised the negroes of Petersburg I was
burnt in effigy under the auspices Of those,
or some Of those, who now profess to be
foremost as friends and defenders of the
negro They have been extremists on all
sides. l have been no extremist on any
side.
have been and am for justice to the ne
gro, but never saw the day when would
knowingly clothe him with authority over
the schools of the white race.
bid you God-speed in what you are do
ing for the redemption of Virginia. Moth
ing but the want of health and strength
prevents me from joining you in your la
bors.
With great regard, yours,
JAMES L. KEMPER.

A FATHER ACCIDENTALLY KILLS HIS ONLY
CHILD,

A FATHER ACCIDENTALLY KILLS HIS ONLY
CHILD.
The Page Courier says that, on Monday OF
last week, as Mr.. George NJ. Kite, who lives
near Grove Hill in Page county, was returning
home with a load of wood, and when near
there, it being nearly dark, ran over his little
two-year-old boy. who was lying in the road
asleep, killing him instantly. The accident
occurred but a very short distance from the
house, the child having gone there earlier in
the evening, and while seated in the road, play
ing in the sand, had fallen asleep, as the stick
which he had and the mounds of sand which
he had built were found in the road at the
place where he was killed. The father was not
aware of the terrible accident until he had
nearly reached home. when his brother, who
was following the wagon a short distance in the
rear, and who found the child, informed him
of it's death and how it occurred. Mr.. Kite
when apprised of the sad affair, was almost
frantic with grief, and, being his only child,
his feelings can be better imagined than de-
scribed.

Thrown AGAINST A CAB.

Some four months ago, while doing some
shifting, was thrown against the cab of my
engine and my back was severely injured. 1t
affected my kidneys. and was at the time in
such pain that had to let my fireman take the
engine. found after getting home that my
water was affected from the strain and was al
most the color Of blood. My wife advised me
TO use Hunts Remedy, which we had used be-
fore for other troubles. 1 sent to Bisselrs drug
store for bottle, and after using it short time
the pains in my back and kidneys were fast
disappearing. The second bottle cured me
completely and L can most heartily recommend
Hunts Remedy to the many of my railroad

with kidney troubles.
