A Card from Mr.. Fowler.

STAYARDsvILLE, Va, October ., 1888.
TO the Editor Of the Dispatch:
In the Dispatch of to-day | see your
Bowling Green correspondent says:
"When Harris asked Fowler whether
he voted for the whipping-post law Fowler
declined to answer. but when pressed said
he did not recOlect."
This Is not true. Your correspondent,
in the great confusion that prevailed, was
evidently mistaken. ] regard the error as
not very important, but it is proper to say
that Mr. Harris had made the charge, and
said he had the record. He at first failed
to find the record, and then insisted /
should answer. / laughingly replied that
he had made the charge and that he had
the record, and it was his business to pro-
duce it. very well knew that the revised
criminal code, containing the whipping
post provision, was voted for by nearly
every member present, myself included
the ayes being so, OF whom over 60 were
Funders. Mr.. Harris remarked afterwards
that he knew the Funders had all voted for
it, and admitted had voted for its repeal.
ask you TO publish this merely to show
that had neither forgotten nor meant TO
prevaricate, which impression might other
wise be conveyed.
Respectfully, l. G. FOWLER.

A Woodstock Policeman Accidentally
Shot and Killed.

Policeman Erasmus Fetzer. OF Wood
stock, Va, was accidentally shot and al
most instantly killed by Marshal G.. f. Lay
Tuesday night about 10 o'clock.
The shenandoah Herald gives the fol-
lowing particulars Of the unfortunate az
fair:
A man was seen In the rear OF Charles
Tews's saloon, on west Main street, and
the circumstances caused suspicion that
he was a burglar. The marshal and police
man were informed OF the fact. and sum-
monine three or four assistants to sur
round the block and guard the most proba-
bic places OF escape. the search began by
the marshal entering the alley from Madi-
son street, while the policeman started
from Perry street. The marshal soon saw
the man, and in attempting to catch him
slipped and fell. He shouted to FetZer to
look out. and the fellow ran past the police
man, ordered him to halt, and fired his pis-
tol, presumably in the air. The man cOntin-
ued to run. and turned down Perry street,
and seeing Fetzer across on the north side
Of Main street mistoOk him for the burglar
and fired with fatal results. Fetzer said {:
" Fred, you've shot me-" and fell These
were all the words he spoke. Several men
who had joined in the chase fastened to
him and carefully carried him to Or. OAR
lings office, but he breathcd only for a min
ute or two and seemed to be unconscious
from the time he was hit. Fetzer was a
great favorite in the community.

The Northern Press and the Result
in Ohio.

III OnlO.
The result i'm Ohio seems to have been
unexpected to the northern press gener-
ally, and the so-caled Independent as well
as the Radical papers of that section are
engaged in collecting their scattered wits.
The Herald independently, after arguing
the question of "whvs and wherefores +"
I'D one side and down the other with its
usual adroitnesS. says:
"The Ohio Democrats have therefore
now gained for the first time the prestige OF
electing their Governor on the eve OF 4
presidential election and the advantage
arising from The possession OF the State
government during the coming national
campaign. That these are advantages to
the party may be taken for granted. That
the party leaders will aim TO make the most
Of them will be readily conceded
And their aim Will be accomplished.
The Philadelphia Press RadicaD is both
sick and bewldered and seeks consolation
in a speculative article on the United States
Senate, in which the following appears:
"This prospect, however, would have
Detn cOuSlutIdplI hll-Htci hNu OHlo
chosen, as it should on last Tuesday, a Re-
publican Legislature"
Exactly. The Press is welcome to its
little morsel of consolation.
The Philadelphia Times independent,
while it does not concede that Ohio is a
Democratic State" by reason of the turn
affairs have taken, remarks:
THE result OF the Ohio election is Re-
publican crash. 1t smashes the Republic
can power and machinery OF the State and
substantially declares that Ohio is hence
forth not a Republican State, but an indie
pendent Commonwealth"
This is about rs fair as we could expect
from the Times. 1t is more clear-headed
and frank than its contemporaries above
quoted, but il should be remembered that
with all of its independence the Times has
a sneaking weakness for the Republican
side.
The Tribune RadicaD don't know what
to make Of it. and founders badly in trying
to prove that it does, while the Times
RadicaD is incoherent. Both, however,
will find out all that it portends when they
have picked themselves up.
The Baltimore american (RadcaD says :
"There is nothing, however, in the pre-
sent election 10 remove Ohio from the col
umn Of Republican States"
The reply to this is: Nothing except
too many Democratic votes"
AS for the Democratic papers, their opin-
ion is expressed in the following from the
World:
"The victory is indeed a glorious and
important one for the Democracy"
This much the Dispatch said yesterday
morning, and we can, we think, sum-
Marie the real inwardness of Republican
feeling by requoting line from the Phila-
delphia TimeS'S comment:
"The result Of the Ohio election is Re
publican crash"

The Cities-A Question.

We think our country friends could
throw some protection around Richmond
and other cities II they would require the
MALONE candidates for the General Assem-
bly, 10 pledge themselves not to vote for
any bill which, IL 1t became law, would
result in having negro policemen In this
or any other city. No charter ought TO be
allowed to be changed unless with the dis
tinct promise that negro policemen ana
consequent racc-troubles were not to be
the consequence.
Governor CAMERON told Judge CHRIS
tian the other day that he CAMERON was
Governor OF Virginia. Very well. Per-
hans he will not object to telling the peo-
pie OF the good old Democratic county OF
Rockingham next Monday whether he
would consent TO the enactment OF law
which would have the effect OF putting
negro policemen on the streets OF the capi-
tai Of the Commonwealth. Perhaps he will
assure the thousands Of white men whom
he will address soon that when they come
TO the State Far at Richmond their eyes
shall not be greeted with sight so I'M
pleasant.
What say the MAHoNE candidates for the
LEGISLATURE What says the Governor
This question Is not one that can be waived
aside as not involved in the coming cleo
ton. 1t is question which is actually up
for decision. Governor CAMERON himself
has declared that the negroes beause OF
their numbers were entitled to representa-
ton upon the School Board of Richmond.
Does he not think, or does he think. that
they are entitled to be represented in the

SEEKING UNTOLD WEALTH SAID TO BE IL THI
RANK OF ENcI AND

SEEKING UNTOLD WEALTH SAID TO BIZ N THE
BANK OF ENGLAND.
Says Chicago special: The old story o.!
untold millions lying rotting in the Bank
OF England waiting for forgotten heirs In
America to seize upon them was revived
Wednesday by a curious gathering Of peo-
pie at the Palmer House. Embraced among
the number were representatives from
every section OF the country. About one
hundred were present, all OF whom
traced back their lineage to an Eng
fish family by the name Of Mosher
Hugh Mosher was supposed to have
left fortune estimated at 1872 5000.
IL is said that the British Minister at
Washington advertised for the heirs some
years ago. At that time two representa-
tives were sent to England. but they were
never heard from and never returned.
Two more emissaries were dispatched a
few years ago, but they likewise never re-
ported. 1t is alleged that the first messen-
gers secured part OF this Monte Christie
fortune, and then sold out the other heirs.
These latter propose TO press their claims
once more, for which purpose the present
meeting wa .,calcd. To-day was devoted
to preliminary organization. There are
shout 1000 persons interested, New York,
Providence, and Boston being especially
well represented.

ING $4,000 TO A YOUNG GIRL.
A Goshen (N. " correspondent tele-
graphs In the village Of Walden, twelve
miles from here, in the Waikiki Valley.
there died on Monday night a man named
John Wilson. He had lived in Walden for
fifty years. and by the most misery Of
habits accomplished fortune OF $4,000
He was stonemason by trade, and for for
~ years worked ut hi- occupation without
losing an hours time. He spOnged his
living wherever he could, frequently COM
pelling his mother, who supported herself
by domestic drGdgery, to contribute to his
wants. Ten years ago he took up his
abode in the garnet OF IN old stone house,
where he lived the life OF hermit until the
house was torn down, when he was forced
to try a miserable house in IN out-oi-the-
way place, where he lived until he was
found dead in his hut yesterday morning.
During all the time Of the occupancy Of
the stone house, and the hut alterward,
only one person was ever permitted TO
cross his threshold, and only one ever en-
tered his room without permission. The
latter was a taX-collectOr named Bradley.
who forced his entrance to the stOne-hOuse
garnet and succeeded in collecting from
Wilson the first taxes he had paid for fifteen
years. The only welcome visitor was Minnie
oldham. the daughter OF 4 poor laboring
man Of Walden. She i now seventeen
years old, and had been fayorlte OF Will
son from baby. She visited him daily,
showing him many kindnesses. and at
tending TO the only homework that he
would have done. Wilson had one other
friend, but he never permitted him TO visit
him. This was Howard Kidd, an eccentric
character Of Wilson's own age.
When Wilson's mother. at the age Of
eighty, was worn out with hard work and
years, she applied to her son for support
for the rest OF her lie. He told her he
would see that she was taken care Of. He
purchased her a pair Of shoes, and then
walked her twenty miles to the pOor-houSe.
Taking the shoes from her, he turned her
over to the poor authorities and left her
without word. She died in the institu-
ton soon afterward, and was buried paul
