The Governor sent long message to the
Senate in which the principal subjects
touched upon are the necessity Of expend-
ing more money in educating teachers for
public schools; fostering volunteer military
and giving more money therefor; increas-
ing the salary of the Adjutant General; ask
ing for protection for the oyster beds of the
State, and calling attention to the failure of
laws to punish the offenders or protect oys-
termen. In reference to restricting railroad
companies to their proper functions he
says: The Governor does not feel licensed
to give his disapproval to bills for the char
ter of public companies OF the character
which the Legislature is constantly asked
to pass, simply on the grounds of the impol-
icy of such grants, but would be recreant
to nv own conscience and my sense of the
duty that owe to the people of Virginia
did I not enter here my earnest protest
against granting to such corporations of any
rights except such as are necessary to make
them common carriers for the service of the
public. A railroad should he land should
be no more) than the vehicle for transmit
ting the business of community through
which it passes. To make it that requires
the surrender by the State of rights which
should only be and can only be granted
conditionally. The rights of the people
must remain paramount and superior to any
surrender Of the vested rights Of the people
through any so-called charter. repeat that
Virginia needs development and should en-
courage all legitimate railway enterprises,
hold out to them the hand of consent and
assistance, but we should be careful in en-
ploying servant, not to make him mas
ter. We should see that privilege grant
ed should not be taken and used as right
and am especially alarmed at the scope
and field of demand which these corpora.

lily the Appearance Of tho Woman In tho
Case. @
Mf !ozi SnHial@ caLayu 7s1aae.
\ woman OF 70 years, scantily clad and
shivering with cold, entered the First Dis.
trict Civil Court room this morning nndin-
quired for the Justice. There was nothing
noticeable abou. her appearance to dis
tinsuish her from the hundreds OF others
who apply for summonses to THUNDER
bolt" Norton save her piercing black eyes
and her swartliy complexion. When She
found that Justice Norton would not be
present she left the room saying she would
apply only to him for the alias summons
OF which she was in search, The woman
was Mrs. Emma Augusta Cunningham,
who figured in the mysterious and never.
solved murder OF Dr.. Harvey Burdell the
night OF January 50, 1857. After the in
quest and subsequent proceedings she
left New York for California, where was
still supposed to be. The Burdell murder
was probably the most sensational, with
the exception OF the Nathan tragedy, OF
any that had evcr taken place in
the city. Burdell was a opu
lar dentist, residing at his own house, no.
81 Bond street. Mrs. Cunningham leased
the house from him and, with her dausht-
ers, Augusta, Helen and Georgiana, kepta
boarding house, among the boardcrs be-
ing John J. Eckel and George Y. Snod-
grass. The morning OF January 81, 1867,
the body OF DR.. Burdell was found in his
room on the second floor, his neck tightly.
bound with u towel and his body pierced
with fifteen frightful wounds from a long,
narrow dirk, which was found in the
apartment. The whole household was put
under arrest, but after the investigation
Eskel and Mrs. Cunningham alone were
held and subsequently indicted by the
grand jury. The case against them was
never made out. Mrs. Cunningham
claimed TO have been secret, married 10
DR.. Bardell, and this was partially con-
llrmed. When she e%ndeavorcd to admin
lister upon the doctors estate-about $50
ON-she brought an infant into the case,
claiming it TO be the child OF Dr.. Burdell.
The District Attorney who conducted the
prosecution was 4. Okey Hall, and through
his efforts Mrs. Cunningham was defeated
and the doctors property was, divided
among his relatives. Mrs. Cunningham
then driited out Of notice, only to reap
pear i'll the court room to-day poor and
evidently ~fricndiess. n. ,ph@

Philadelphia Times.
A quartette Of gentlcmanly negroes and
a pair OF iuil-blooded Indians, neatly
dressed in blue uniforms, sat upon the
stage Of Association Hall last evening.
AS General S. C. Armstrong, principal Of
the Hampton Normal and Agricultural In
stitute, expressed it, they were an object
lesson illustrative OF the work Of the in
stitution. Tho Rev. Charles A. Dickcy
presided and the Hampton Quartette
sang several plantation melodies. Viii

with IN elegant plea for the education OF

In 1872" said Bushotter, ~"nearly all
the Sioux in Dakota wore their blankets

gradually becoming civilized. One thing
they want the Great Father to do is TO

school houses. l am glad that you are

Trinity Sunday School.

The children of Trinity Sunday
School celebrated Christmas last Mon
day evening, at the Opera House. A
bounteous supper was provided for
them and their friends, in the Armory,
and then the Opera House floor was
placed at the disposal of the children.
The scene there was as lively and joy
Gus as could be imagined. The room
was full of the youngsters, and their
glad shouts filed the room and more
too. The Germania band soon made
its appearance, and was welcomed
with a deafening shout. As soon as
the band began to play, the Sunday
School officers marshaled the children
into line, and marching and counter
marching was the order. This served
two purposes-it amused the children
and kept them quiet, After the
marching had been going on for
short time, the stage curtain was
hauled up, and the surprised children

First Service of the United Presby-
terian Society in their New Church.

Last Sunday was a memorial day
for the members of the United Presby-
terrain society of this city. On that
day they held their first services in
their new church, on Washington
avenue, near Third street. The So
ciety was first organized in this city,
on March 9th, 1884, the services be-
ing held in the Potter block. Rev.
F. w. Vertican presided. Some time
after, the society held their services in
the Armory, where they remained
until July, and then removed to the
hall in the Culligan block, at VIII ich
place services were held every Sun
day until last Sunday. In August
Rev. Vertican was succeeded by Rev.
]. l.. Thompson who is the present
pastor. The wooden church, former
ly used by the Episcopals, was pur-
chased by the Presbyterian society
and this fall was moved to its present
location.
