rhaLate IGlmer U. swift,

It has been ascertainsd that the late Mir. Elmer L. Swift, of Woodmont, was in the habit of jumping from the freight train at the crossing at Woodmont in going home nights. The conclusion arrived at is that he was stunned by jumping from the freight train and was struck by the next train while lying stunned on the track. The next train came along in five minutes afterward. The state ments which have appeared that deceased was in liquor at the time of the accident are pronounced totally erroneous by those who knew him.

VIRGINIA,

A large audience WAS present at Car1ls Opera House last evening to witness the
 production of Stephens $ Solomon,s comic
 opera s'Virginia" by the Bijou Opera cou-
 pany. The many favorable criticisms that
 have been published regarding the perfOr-
 nance had created an unusual interest and
 there was general anticipation of an uncom- monly good entertainment. At the close
 there were many expressions pro and con. Both would apply, for in some portions it
 was decidedly weak, while in others 1t was far above the average. As whole it might be characterized as bright and jolly perform ance. There was an immense collection of puns, some of them absolutely bad and others, particularly those falling to the lot of his satanic majesty, ''devilish" good. The music is not gay and spirited enough to be in keep ing with the action of the piece which, for riment. The principal members of the cast are competent artists. FrauIein Janowchow- ski is one of the best artists of her kind that we have seen in this city, and the company has strong card in her. Her voice is sweet and pure, and her execution is admirable, showing high cultivation. While she is decidedly German in appearance, her actions and expression are more after the order of the French opera bouffe singer, and by her piquancy and cute ness she creates growing fascination. The sweet-t0ned voice of Mir. Fessenden excited buS USUAL eutnusAhSn ana 1t may pc G9lo 6n06 it never seemed better. It would be pleas. ant feature if more vocal work in the opera fell to his share. .Signor BrocoIini had an opportunity of showing his ability both as an actor and singer. In fact the larger share of the performance devolved upon him. It is sufficient to say that he was capital, singing and acting delightfully."-. Miss Clara Poole ably sustained her character and sang well and Miss Hattie Delaro, as the grocers daughter, was bright and pretty, as were also her companions the butchers and the baker's daughters. The orchestra was an able one and there was but an occasional difference between it and the vocal music. The costumes were elegant. The afternoon performance of ssPinafore' was much enioy- ed. ssVirgfnia" will be repeated this eTen- ing. and the opportunity of seeing such am enough to again dli the house. Miss Edmynd- son, who is known as Q fine artist, will take the part of s'Virginia'' this evening.

The Summit Sentinel is mistaken
when it gives,the negroes of Frank-
lin county the honor o. of.lynching

may have been a few negroes in the
mob, but the jai!er, Mr.. Porter, in
formed us that the majority of them,
at any rate, were white men. III
there is any credit attaching to this
uncalled for violation. of the State
law, the whites are entitled to it.
We can't close this explanation,
without remarking that the Sen
rinel, and all other papers which en-
dorse such acts, should also be Civ
en- n share of the credit, for it is
largely due to the countenanCe given
mob law by the press, that mob VIC
lence has grown so frequent and
this class of murderers allowed to g.
UNPUBLISHED. As if it were not enough
that this criminal should be hung
without process Of law, the Sentinel
advertiscs that pictures taken of him
while hanging, can now be seen and
purchased at q respectable artists
in Summit. No wonder that human
life is cheap and lawlessness rampant
in Mississippi, when such deeds are
not only olelatcd, but paraded be-
fore the public gaze, as something
to he dwelt upon and gloated over!
The spirit which sanctions this sort
Of thing might be creditable among
the barbarians'of Central Africa, but
it is anything else but compliments
ry to the citizens of civilized COM
munity and State.
When the bulldozers committed
the outrage upon the negroes on the
Parker place, in Pike county, week
before last, the Summit papers were
very decided in their denunciation of
that act; but the Franklin county
lynchlng was a CRIME against the
same code of laws, the same in prin-
Gil le-only differing in degree from
the crime of the bulldozers and well
calculated to foster that spirit-and
yet the same papers applaud. This
our Summit contemporaries will hardly
be too obtuse to perceive, or too I'M
candid to acknowledge. Be consist
ent at least, gentlemen.

Socialism Iva Europe.

European potentatCs are likely to
spend an uneasy year. At 70 time
has the anarchical movement been
so wide-spreading as now. Far as
it is from Here's to St. Petersburg
the spirit which animates the BLACK
Hand" in Andalusia animates the
conspirators who vow that the Gar
shall not be crowned. If the Irish
Invincibles are in prison in Dublin
there are Austrian Socialists waiting
their trial in Vienna. France still
hears the echo of the explosions at
Lyons; Bismarck still thinks ofmeans
to allay the rising discomfort of the
artesians; Italy has her fanatical If
redentists; The Sultan of Turkey
goes in fear of his life, the fame of
Democracy is running all along the
Balkans, and in Norway the Repub-
licans threaten to oyerrun the Gov
ernment. There is plenty fuel for a
great confagration in Europe.-N.

THERE are expected to be from

to say nine-tenths of the batch rest
on no foundation at all save in the
custom Congress toallow contestants
a return of expenses involved in max

candidates run for no other purpose
than to make a contest for the seat
and to get pay for expenses. The
