New Life
is given by using Browns
IRON BITTERs. In the
Winter it strengthens and
warns the system; in the
Spring it enriches the blood
and conquers disease; in the
Summer it gives tone to the
nerves and digestive organs;
in the Fall it enables the
system to stand the shock
Of sudden changes.
In no way can disease be
SO surely prevented as by
keeping the system in per-
feet condition. Browns
IRON BITTERs ensures per-
feet health through the
changing seasons, it disarms
the danger from impure
water and miasmatic air,
and it prevents Consump-
ton, Kidney and Liver Dis
case, &c.

Woman's Friend.

Having been troubled for many years with
kidney disease, with severe pains i'll my back
and limbs-my ankles were at times very badly
swollen-T was advised to go to the hospital for
treatment which did on the advice ofa friend
but found no relief, al least only of temporary
nature, and Ithad given up all hope of a cure
until my husband was advised to use Hunts
Remedy by a friend that had used it and been
cured of severe case of dropsy and kidney
trouble Iprocured bottle, and had not used
one-half OF the bottle before began to be bet
ter, no pain in the back, and the swelling ofmy
limbs commenced to go down, and my appetite
was much better for had become so bad that
all ate distressed me very much. 1t was really
dyspepsia, combined with the other troubles
and have used four bottles, and am able to do
my work and attend to household duties which
before had been Il burden to me, and can only
thank Hunts Remedy for the health and happi-
ness which now enjoy, and esteem it a great
privilege and duty to give you this letter in be-
half of my many suffering lady friends in Boston
and the country, and can only say in conclusion
that ifyou once try it you will be convinced as
l was even against my own will, that Hunts
Remedy is indeed a woman's friend.
You are at liberty to use this for their benefit
if you so choose. Respectfully yours,

The case of the Commonwealth against
w. T. Dodson, was closed at Danville on
Saturday last. In many respects this is one
of the most remarkable cases in the GRIM
inal records of the State. Its history is
briefly as follows On the 23d of April the
house occupied by DOdson in Danville was
discovered to be on fire. After the flames
had been extinguished the dead body of
negro man named James Read was found
in the building. Blood was running from
several wounds upon the body, there were
bloodstains in several parts ..0f the house,
and Reads clothes had been saturated with
oil and set on fire. Oil had also been poured
on some bedding in the room. Suspicion
attached to Dodson, who was arrested at
Chatham, and confessed substantially that
he had hired two negro men to bring him
body, and had set fire to the house in the
hope that the remains would be thought
his (Dodsons). His object, he stated, was
to enable his family to realize the proceeds
of a policy of insurance on his life. He
infinitely described how he had fixed a
uSuUCu CdllulO llCttl UllC pOQy oO UudC ~
would burn down to and ignite the Oil
within certain time. 1t was his intention,
if his plot succeeded, he said, to go to
Texas.
The case excited considerable interest,
and a foreign jury was empanneled. The
trial lasted several days, and resulted as
follows The accused was found guilty of
manslaughter, and was sentenced to five
years he pleaded guilty of house-burning,
and was sentenced to three years and also
pleaded guilty of enlightenment, and was
sentenced to two years. Total penalty,
ten years in the penitentiary.
X. III. Horton, claiming to be agent for
Nash u Co., of Philadelphia. bought a
patent right of G. thinner. of Richmond,
Va, few days ago, and paid for it by a
draft on the National Bank of the Repub-
lie of Washington upon the Merchants
National Bank of New York for 81, 497 so.
The check was sent on for collection and
retained, with the statement that it had
been raised from 5000.

A dispatch from Richmond, dated June
Sth, says that the Acknowledgement states
that the coupon cases recently appealed
from the Circuit Court of Campbell and
Afbemarle will be heard by the Court of
Appeals at Wytheville and Stamton at its
approaching session at those places. Very
many persons are rendering coupons
in payment OF their taxes under the pro-
visions of the coupon killers, that is, prof
fering the coupons accompanied by the
money, and bringing suits to recover the
latter. Besides the combination of liquor
dealers mentioned a week OF so ago,
quite number of other taxpayers
have adopted this plan, and say they will
save money by it.

Judge Treat in the United States Circuit
Court atSt. Louis, Monday, rendered a de-

decision is to release all restrictions ON the
manufacture of barbed wire, and save mil
ions Of dollars annually to the farmers and
ranchmen of the country that has hereto
fore been paid in the shape Of royalty.

The Ohio election will result in the
success of the Republican ticket in DC to-
Der next, and this will infuse new life into
Republicanism throughout the Union, not
excepting Virginia and the South. The
campaign of next year will be a square
fight between the Republican party and
the Democratic party. There will be no
side issues and no concealments OF eva
sions. Those who mean to support the
Republican Presidential ticket will have
to unite with the organization and so with
those who will give their efforts for the
Democratic nominees. There will have to
be symmetry in the arrangements and di-.
RICHNESS in the methods so far as the Re
publicans are concerned. The traditions
as well as the hopes of the party demand
this. 1t can hold no equivocal, tempo
rizing relations, nor admit of defensive
attitude.

The Texas State Wool Growers Asso-
citation, at the Convention held in San
Antonio on Thursday last, passed reso-
luton condemning the doctrine of tariff
forrevenue only and strongly recommended
that the next Congress be petitioned to re-
peal all unjust laws affecting the wool in
dustry OF the United States, and asking
united cooperation of all organizations
throughout the country to that end. 1t is
request that should be complied with
without delay. A strong pressure should
be brought to bear upon the members Of
the next House of Representatives to
compel them to grant to the farmers that
measure of protection which the growing
Importance Of the wool trade demands.
1t is only by concert Of action and de-
termination among those most interested
to have their interests protected, that any,
thing can be accomplished. There should
be all end to sentimental politics and to
that blind obedience to the behests of par
ty, and the exercise of little common
sense in dealing with public measures. If
voters would only seek to inform them
selves upon the effect of legislation on
their business, and then cast their ballot
in accordance with the dictates of their
best Judgment, they would not only put
dollars and cents in their pockets. but
save themselves u great deal of unneces-
sary trouble and worry. For instance. if
the farmers of this section-where the
wool-growing interest is yearly increasing
and becoming more and more prominent
as factor OF commercial importance-in-
stead of applauding those would-be politi-
cal Solons, who tell them of the outrage
Gus cost OF hats and clothing, and the great
reduction to be brought about by repeal
OF the tariff, had thought for moment of
the effect Of that repeal on the price of
wool. they would probably not have been
quite SO jubilant. But their thoughts
upon the subject would have been of little
avail, if they had given them practical ex-
preston by voting for men, who. if sent
to Congress, would place themselves in di-
rect antagonism to their constituents. 1t
is singular TO what extremes party zeal
and the influence of a name will carry
men. They will learn, however, after
awhile, but in the meantime they are pay
ing pretty dear tuition rates. The Au-
gusta Wool-Growers Association should
promptly second the resolution of their
Southern brethren and press their claims
for restoration of the old tariff with
yigor. 1t will cost this county thousands
Of dollars annually if this vital measure
fails to receive favorable Congressional
action

upon to reopen his barrel to supply de-
hciency OF the last campaign. He was

ply Of New York, one of the democratic
patriots who stumped Illinois. The case
was in the Court for several years, but was
compromised the other day by Mr.. English
paying $500. 1t is safe to say that Nh. E.
unlike Mr.. Hendricks will not pant for the
second place on the Democratic ticket
again.

THE MARKETS.

The markets show but little if any change this
week. The offerings have been very light, and
to this fact is due the maintenance of present
prices. In the centres of trade there has been a
decline negotiations, and our home merchants

be unable to pay the prices as quoted yesterday,

We think the correspondent Of the Bal
timore San in his report of Maj. Hotch-
kiss speech, which our Harrisonburg cor
respondent criticizes, made a mistake in
saying that Maj. H. said there was no an
thracite coal in Virginia. The idea intend
ed to be conveyed was that such coal could
not be found in commercial quantities in
this State. But we suppose the Major
will be able to distinctly state his position,
and we cordially place the columns of the
VIRGINIAN at his disposal.

SKETCH OF JUDGE EORAKER.-JOSeph
Benson Foraker, the Republican candidate
for Governor of Ohio, was born July s.,
1916, near Rainsboro, Highland County, O..
He entered the army when only sixteen
years old, as private in the seth Ohio Vol
unteer Infantry, having much difficulty in
passing muster on account of his youth.
lie was rapidly promoted to the rank Of
captain, and accompanied his regiment
through the war, being most of the time
with Sherman forces. For some time he
was attached to Gen. Slocum's staff. He
was the last man in his regiment to be mus
tered out. AT the close of the war he en-
tered the Ohio Wesleyan University.
Afterward he went to Cornell University,
where he was graduated in 1869 with the
first class sent from that institution. He
removed to Cincinnati after leaving college
and was admitted to the bar in 1863. He
has been a successful lawyer. lie was cleo
ted Judge OF the Superior Court in 1879,
but resigned in 1882 because of i'll health,
due to overwork. Judge Foraker is now,
however, strong and active. He is q fine
looking and intellectual man, and will be
popular with all classes and distastful to
none. He is methodist in religion.
Speaking of Judge Foraker recently Gov
ernor Foster said Judge Foraker is good
looking, q fine speaker, and would soon
make an impression on the stump. He is
innocent, | believe, of political manage
ment, but as Governor would acquit him
self Well.n

The system of hauling the cars across
the bridge connecting New York and
Brooklyn is described as quite novel. On
the first half of the span there is an as
cending grade of 81 per cent and cores
ponding descent the remainder of the
way. The cars are hauled by an endless
wire cable worked by a large engine at the
Brooklyn end. The cable is in constant
motion and the cars are provided with
clutches, which are applied only on the
ascending grade. The cars come down
the descending grade by gravity and are
supplied with both hand brakes and va
cum brakes. AT the termini of the
bridge are two small locomotives built by
H. X. Porter & Co., of New York, which
are kept busy shifting the cars us fast as
they come on to the other track. These
locomotives are supplied with apparatus
for producing a vacuum in tanks under the
cars, and the vacuum continues until it is
needed for applying the brakes.

1t is believed that Queen Victoria will
soon abdicate. Her failing health and i'm
paired mind render this not only probable,
but necessary. The Prince Of Wales will
be called to act as Prince Regent, and in
asmuch as his political views and sympa-
thies are with the Liberals, it is thought
great changes will be effected in admins
trative methods. We may learn at any
time that the Queen has surrendered her
authority and her eldest son invested with
the cares of State.
