mischance his hold slipped and he partly fell

In the back of the neck, severing an artery,
which bled profusely ,and otherwise bruising
him. His injuries, while very painful are
not necessarily fatal. He is being cared for
at that station.
Later in the day an unknown colored man
attempted to board q train while in motion

he was hurt, the traiDmen on the $50 a.
m. north bound train to-day being unable to
say.
George WhortOn, young colored man of
Camden, this State attended the Dover fair
yesterday and during the day became intoxi-
Gated. About 6.30 o'clock last evening it ap-
pears he laid down on a side track near the
fair grounds to sleep. Shortly after that
hour freight train switched off on the
track to allow passenger train
to pass and ran over Wharton,
mangling him In a horrible manner. The
remains were picked up and placed upon a
car and taken to Dover where an inquest
will be held. The man was not noticed by
the engineer of the freight train until al
most upon him. The engine was reversed

A TRIPLE EXECUTION.
Three Colorsd Men Hanged at DanyiIle
for Murder.

Ahres GOlored M0n hanged at DanviIle
for Murder.
CHATHAM, VA, Sept. %. = Sawney
Younger, Reuben King and Isaac Eva s,
three young negroes, were hanged here
today for the murder of William F. Shep-
pard last month. The execution was prl-
yate, only about 15 persons witnessing it.
Younger's neck was broken, and the
other two died from strangulation.
All three protested their innocence to the
last. A detachment OF the Pittsylvania
Guards acted as an escort and did guard duty.
Their was quite large crowd in the vicinity
of the place Of execution, but there was no
disturbance. Younger's body was buried
within the enclosure under the gallows. The
bodies of Evans and King were delivered to
the physician who brought them in lifetime,
and will be taken to the Richmond Medical
College. Within the enclosure the son and
two brothers of the murdered man had
places and witnessed the execution.
Sheppard had driven load of vegetables
to market, and was on his way home when
the negroes waylaid and shot him. They
had shadowec him In Danville, and know
ing that he carried the money obtained from
the sale of his goods, they had hoped to
secure it. At the first shot his team became
frightened and ran of, thus preventing them
from getting the booty. They continued
firing, however, as the team started, and
one of the bullets pierced Sheppard's heart.

Prospects Of Tariff Revision.

WAsHINGToN, Dec. 29.-The WAYS
and Means Committee to-day considered
the Tariff Commissions schedule of wool
and woollens. None but verbal changes
were made to-day except in the item Of
woollen rags, shoddy, and focks, on
which the rate was changed from IL to
10 cents per pound. The free trade
element, led by Mr.. Carlisle, strongly
opposed the rates recommended.
Mr.. John i. Hayes, President Of the
Tariff Commission, says that the com
mittee is doing just as the Commission
would have done had time permitted.
1t is putting in an article here and there
and completing the classification rather
than materially changing the rates re-
commended by the Commission. lie
thinks the committee will be ready ID
report in two weeks, and that the tariff
viii be revised at the present session Of
Congress.
