STORM IN GREENARIER COUNTY, w.
VA.-On Thursday week, Lewisb urg, w.
Va, and vicinity was visited by a very vio-
lent rain and thunderstorm, lasting sew
eral hours, during which, says the Green
brier Independent, ''bolts OF electricity took
effect at two separate points on the farm of
Mr.. James n. Montgomery, about two miles
South of Lewisburg. The first struck a
straw-stack near the barn and set the straw
in blaze. Mr.. Montgomery and his sons
in-law, Messrs. ". A. Frantz and f. G..
Brown, were GA the ground, and succeeded
in extinguishing the flames before much
progress was made. Two boys, who had
taken shelter in the stable which stands
near the straw-stack, were seriously
sttlnned-falling to the ground while in the
stalls with the horses. They crawled out,
one of the boys, in dazed condition, pass
ing between the hind legs of one of the
horses. The other lightning stroke men,
toned came in contact with wheat shock
in the field, which was quickly ignited, but
the blaze was put out by Messrs. Frantz
and Brown before tho wheat was seriously
damaged. Both Of these gentlemen were
also shocked by the severe concession, but
only to a Slight degree"

Perdition seize party who would sup
plant a man like VIM. 81. Gold and put in
his place creature like Pierce. Mr.. Gold
is a man of recognized ability, unquestion-
able integrity, and in every way fitted for
the place of Superintendent of Public In
struction, while the fellow who takes his
place lacks every qualification which the
Importance of the place demands. Mr..
Gold made good and conscientious Super
intendent-what sort of a Superintendent
will Pierce make? Let those who know
Pierce answer. Let every man in the coun-
ty, who has child to educate, remember
this wrong against those who have put it
upon us.
Destroy the efficiency of our public schools
and Virginia can hope for nothing in the
future. By means of our schools we hope
to keep alive the glorious memories that
surround our past-if they are destroyed,
as much else that we honor and love has al
ready been destroyed and trampled upon to
satisfy the reckless ambition of Malone,
then Virginia's future will indeed be dark
and hopeless. Yet that is what Malone
and his followers will do unless they are
right soon repudiated by this much abused
and long suffering people.
Cameron Farr and Blair, under the di-
rection of Malone, are making the public
schools part of their political machinery
That means ruin, hopeless and irretrieva-
BILE. 1t means that the positions of teach
ers, trustees and superintendent are to be
made the rewards of political services. 1t
means that such creatures as Pierce are to
take the place of such men as Gold.
1t means that hereafter when man ap
plies for position in the public schools in
the gift of Cameron, Farr and Blair it will
not be asked what are his qualifications
Is he "honest ?'' is he educated? is he eff
Gent but is he faithful slave of Malone :?
is he willing to pet and hug negroes for
their votes will he make the public schools
part of Mahone's political machinery?
These are to be the qualifications of
school trustees and superintendent as long
as Boss Malone keeps control of this State.
If his appofntees are ignorant, SO much the
better, because he can control them the
more easily; if they are rascals, so much the
better, because they will not hesitate to do
his dirty work. So be supplants VIM. Fl.
Gold with Adolphus Pierce.

those who know them BOTH Winchester

KILLED BY LIGHTN1NG.-On Saturday
morning, the 75h inst, Calvin G. Squires,
Of Salt Lick creek, Braxton county, w.
Va, started from his home to go to B. C.
McNutt's store, a distance Of three miles,
ard when he had gone about one and hall
miles, storm rapidly approached and the
lightnin5 struck an oak tree, killing him
and his horse instantly. 4
The flash of lightning occurred a few min
utes before II o'clock a. m, and Mr..
Squires was not discovered until o'clock
p. IN. The horse was lying with its feet to
the tree and head near the centre of the
road, and Mr.. Squires was lying on his face,
with his body across the horses neck, and
one foot in the stirrup. The bride rein
was held in one hand, and a basket of eggs
that he had been carrying was still on his
arm. Mr.. Squires was good citizen and
was highly esteemed by all who knew him.

Can 1t be Forgotten ?

In the fall election in this State, says the
Abingdon Standard, the two main questions
for the people to decide are; Shall Bossism
still exist in Virginia ? and shall the State
government be entrusted to the Democrats,
or to Radicals? To continue Malone and
his party in power, the people must forget
many base acts done by him and his follow
ers-a mere catalogue Of which would fill
column. Can the people forget the many
declarations of fidelity to the Democratic
party during, and even after, the last Pres
idential election, and then, in the face of
all these things, how Malone made shame
full bargain with the Stalwart Radicals, and
attempted to drive his followers over and de-
liver them up as so many ''dumb-driver
cattle ?'' Can they forget his contemplate
meanness in turning widows, and wound
ed soldiers out of Office, and putting in their
place men who had no Recommendation save
that they were loyal 10 him?
Can his old comrades in arms forget his
insult to them by voting to keep all Con-
federate soldiers from holding an Office in
the army or navy? Can you forget that in
every way, and at all times, this Boss has
tried to array the colored people against
the white, and the poor against the richP
Can you forget that he has appealed in ev-
cry canvass not to reason, but to prejudice !?
Can you forget his connection with Jay
Hubbell's infamous assessment scheme to
raise money with which to corrupt voters
in Virginia Can it be forgotten that Gov
vernon Cameron, one of his tools, appointed
negroes on the School Board of Richmond
negroes to control and govern white schools
taught by white gentleman rladies?
This last was the browning insult Of all,
and was done simply to spite the good peo-
pie of that city who have always refused to
wear his yoke. Did it, not because the ne
groes were better qualified than whites to
fill these positions, but because heimagined,
down in the depths Of his vindictive little
narrow soul, that this would be a fine re-
venge to heap upon these people for hay
ing repudiated him.
All these things, we say, the voters of
Virginia will have to forget before they can
endorse him, or any of those who blindly
follow in his lead. Then besides all this, there
is a large majority of the white voters of this
State who cannot be induced by any man to
aid he;Republicans-their party has always
been known as an enemy to the South.
We have felt it's heavy hand for the last
twenty years, and we cannot now turn and
kiss the hand that has smitten us, even
though Billy Malone advises it.

THE CHESAPEAKE AND ONO AND Dr.

official statement of the Chesapeake and
Ohio railway authorities, the gross earn
ings for June, partially estimated, were
1896, 525-an increase of $50, 143 upon those
Of the same month of 1882; gross earnings
from January 1st to June 30th, 81, 100, $50
an increase of $500, 400, or PSI per cent,
as compared with the figures Of the cores
ponding period of last year. The compa-
ny has, we learn, made arrangements with
an English steamship company for direct
communication between it's eastern termi-
nus, at Newport News, and Liverpool.
The first steamer is expected to sail from
the former port September list. Subsequent
sailings will be governed by the amount Of
freight offered by the company, except that
one steamer will sail every month. The
company is also making arrangements for
direct steamship service between Newport
News and one Of the principal German
ports, with the view of developing emigrant
business-Richmon Dispatch.

Sta11ntott Spettator,
TUESDAY, JULY IL, 1883.
Judge Rives, Arthur, Malone.

In the letter written by Judge Alex.
Rives, published in the Valley Virginian
week before last and signed "NIore of 8
Republican than Coalitionist," he com.
plains that Malone violated faith in secur.
ing the election of Riddleberger as United
States Senator instead of Lewis-it being,
as he says, ''the understanding, tacit, il
not express, of the parties to the Coali'
ton" that Republican Senator should
be elected. In speaking of the 'Republi.
'swould gladly sustain his administration
if permitted to do so and retain their self
respect" Do the Mshoneites "retain theil
selfrespect' who gladly sustain his admin.
istration ?"-F'support Arthur, because
Arthur supports them" In this, they aci
upon Mahones rule of political action,
as he is reported to have expressed it
"Pol;tics, hi; Policy is my politics. u
Democratic Readjusters may ponder this
conumdrum:
If Republicans can not sustain Arthur
administration and 'tretain their self-re.
spect," how can Democratic Readjusters
do go?
Have they not as much selfrespect as
the Republicans?
Judge Rivcs characterizes J. D. Brady
Chairman of the Coalition Committee, as
that prince of shysters." This is such an
appropriate appellation that it will be apt
TO stick to Brady like the "shirt Of Mes
sus." He says of the President that he is
''maneuvering for a nomination that he
may not expect from the Republicans, -
and asks the 'tallies of other States if
they 'fcan read in these acts the loyalty Of
The President to his professions ?'
He concludes his letter as follows
''What does this crisis require at our
hands? 1 reply: Earnest scrutiny into
the acts of our leaders and wise mistrust
of them. Refuse to go with them further
than our Judgment allows, and beware of
bringing discredit on ourselves and our
party by such lamentable want of cour-
age, self-respect and honor, as would be
betokened by a tame submission to the
shameful humiliations that have been put
upon us as party
AS the Alexandria Gazette says, 'Judge
Rives is one of the Oldest and most pro-
nounced Republicans in the State. He is
an ultra Republican, so ultra that some OF
his Democratic opponents accused him OF
taking his politics with him when he went
on the bench Of the United States Court.
When the evils Of Mahoneism become too
great for even such men as Judge Riyes to
bear, they must be rank indeed. But few
self-respecting Republicans can read the
Judges letter and again vote the Coalition
ticket

MORE OF A REPUBLICAN THAN A COALI-
TIoNIsT.-A Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun says
Judge Rives, of Virginia, has written
letter to a Virginia politician in this city in
which he declares that he has always been
a good republican and a warm supporter of
the coalition movement, but lately he has
come to the conclusion that Malone S meth
DDS are in opposition to true republican
principles, and that in the future he (Rives)
wi antagonze him with all the power he
possesses. He claims that the removal of
Collector Bolts was q piece Of spite work,
which should not have been allowed by a
just and fair republican administration, and
if such actions are repeated the democrats
will soon regain control of the State Of Vir-
ginia. He signs himself ''More Of d repub-
licln than c0alitionist."
From the above it seems that the article
published in the Faley FTginian of week
before last, under that signature, was
written by Judge Rives. ''Sin-bad is an
appropriate name for the sinful Republican
party, cfwhi. h Judge Rives is distinguish
ed member, and, in Malone, it has the
"Old Man of the Sea- upon its shoulders.
In view Of its author, We do not wonder
at the respectful manner in which the Vir-
qil,iGR referred to it.

KILLED BY LIeHTEINe.-On Friday
week, in Summers county, W. Va, John
Huffman, during thunderstorm, took
shelter under a sugar-tree which was struck
by lightning, and he was instantly killed.
The Mountain Herald says
can examination showed that his hat
had been nearly burnt up, the hair On his
head burnt off, and one of his shoes torn
badly by the lightning. Mr.. Huffman was
probably leaning against the tree when the
lightning struck it, and was killed instant
ly. Mr.. Huffman leaves wife and seven
children. We learn that Mrs. Huffman s
grief is so great as to cause serious anxiety
regarding her recovery"

Boy KILLED AND BARN BURNT BY LIGHT
NING.-Last Friday, Mr.. Jesse R. Coul-
ston's barn near Port Deposit, Md, was
struck by lightning during heavy storm
that evening, and in an instant was in a
blaze. 1t was entirely destroyed, together
with Mr.. Coulston's entire hay and wheat
crops, which had just been stored. Two
horses and several COWS were also consum-
ed by the flames. Willie Martin, colored
boy aged ID, who was in the barn at the
time, was instantly killed by the shock.
The storm was the severest seen III that

favor Generalization ofthe races and mixed
schools and teachers" This was very fool
ish action on the part of the convention, as
these colored men know that such a state
of affairs would be tolerated in but few if
any localities, North or South. Malone,
the Virginia Boss, would endorse such &C
ton, and would gladly see ''mixing of
races in this State. But Malone has gone

The monopolists have induced many
people to believe that prote ii IN
enhances the price of labor. There is
nothing more erroneous, as is plainly
shown by comparison of the wages Of
protected and unprotected labor in this
country. When the public shall be disa-
bused of this false idea, and have the tariff
that by it they are compelled to pay two
prices for nearly everything they consume,
the old Democratic idea of free trade will
become as popular as it ever was, and
the rich monopolists will have to devise
other schemes by which they can increase
their wealth at the expense of all the other
peopleof the country.-Alexanaria Gazette.
