which he had in his pocket and bis clothes
catching fire 10y rubbing against Il hot
stove, died Sunday night. lie was one OF
the parties implicated, but afterwards nc
Quilted, in the Jane Murray murder ease,
the negro woman who was murdered about
one year ago near FarmyiIle on the rail-
road-tIack. He declared his innocence on
his death-bed.
A large petition signed by the mayor
and principal businessmen OF OUR town

place, and obliSatlng themselves to aid him
all they can.

An incidental good result on the passage
Of the Mll (if it shall pass the House Of
Representative 30 declare who shall be
President OF the United States in certain
contingencies is the fact that since the
President pro tenn. OF the Senate will no
longer be in the line of succession, the
country will hereafter be spared the dis
graceful spectacle which WIS presented to
its view in 1865, when old BEN. WApB was
endevonng to have ANDREW Johnson
convicted Of high crimes and misdemean-
Ors in order that he (WADE) might become
President of the United States, he being
then President pro tenn. Of the Senate.
This result OF itself will be a full iustifica-
ton Of the new law Gf law it shall be-
Gomez. The disgraceful conduct OF WADE
was proof enough, If any was needed, that
the succcsSor to the President Of the United
States should never be sought in the legis-
latiYe department OF the Government.

JANUARY S, 1888.
The smallpox scare is occupying no lit
tie of the thoughts and conversation OF our
t0wnspeople at this time. Exaggerated
Tumors OF its ravages in Salem and Roa-
nOke are in everybOdy's mouth. and the
fact that Stevens and Friar, two OF the
guards that brought young Cowan TO tbi,
place, and who mingled freely with our
people, are among the victims, does not
tend in the least TO allay the excitement.
On Saturday our "city fathers" met and
quarantincd against Salem. This prevented
Colonel lIaDsbrOugh from coming 10 court
here to-day, and shortened the term some
what.
Your correspondent had to force his way
through the crowd that ass embed in the
courtroom this morning to witness the
trial OF ID. Edwin Cowan, the young man
who was charged with embeZZlng funds
to the amount Of $1,000 or more belonging
TO the Shenandoah Valley Railway COmpa-
ny. The youth, intelligence, and good ap-
pearance OF the prisoner added unusual in
terest TO the trial. To the usual question
propounded by the clerk, Guilty or not
guityr he replied quite distinctly, 81 am
guilty, sir" Being asked il he wished 10
make any statement to the court, he replied
that he did not wish to say ANYTHING further
than to confess his guilt. Whereupon the
judge, without the Intervention OF Jury. |
sentenced him TO three years confinement
in the State Denitentiary, the shortest term I
prescribed by the statute for such offences. I
l have been informed that this young man |
went into the employment OF the Shenan- !
doah Valley Railroad Company az q day
Iaborer in the cuts, but his intelligence and /
being soon recognized he rapidly /
rose to the position Of assistant auditor, in |
which position he was intrusted with the 4
funds which he squandered.
The rains of the past week have rendered ,
our roads almost impossible for vehicles.

correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch.
JANUARY 10, 1883.
The snow-storm which began here yes
terday afternoon and continued through
out the night left the ground covered this
morning to depth of eighteen inches.
There was but little drifting, because but
little wind prevailed, and fortunately the
temperature was not very cold. The fall
of snow was the heaviest known in this Sec
ton since the memorable storm Of January,
1857, when DR.. Joseph i. Cox, promi-
nent physician OF this place, was frozen 10
death and other citizens badly frosted by
the same.
To-day business is blocked, and trains
from all directions are delayed. Scores of
sleighS are on the streets with merry par
ties of ladies and gentlemen.
The police took up several parties on the
street at late hour last night, one Of whom
was found to be IN precarious condition
from the effects OF exposure, and whom it
was difficult to revive.
Ii is proposed by the resident members
of the British Association TO greet Princess
Louise and her suite with some appropri-
ate demonstration OH the occasion OF her
arrival here on her way south. There are
several influential members OF the National
British Association who live here. 1t i
proposed that an address OF welcome be
delivered by prominent gentleman Of this
city-not a member Of the Association
and that afterward, If the length OF her
stay will permit, thsre be reception, at
which our people may be introduced to the
distinguished lady and her suite. OF
course the whole affair will be under the
auspices OF resident Englishmen, but our
citizens will be only too glad to Join the
occasion in honor OF so accomplished q
lady. ROBIN ADAIR.

more profitable by an increase in through

ural western outlet for the New Hampshire

equipments into condition and arranging with
Western connections to do business more
expeditiously; and if the management of the
