The Story OF q Wait.

On the Chesapeake and Ohio train leav
ing this city at 4.9O o'clock Saturday there
were couple, male and female, who had
procured tickets for Louisa Courthouse. Ii
was noticed that the mans face was clean
shaven, save his mustache, that he appear
ed to be about twenty-five years of age,
and was about five feet eight inches in
height. His companion, who was dressed
in deep mourning, had on long veil which
completely hid her face, aud which during
the entire ride to the Courthouse she did
not remove. Occasionally some of the pas.
sengers could hear the waiings of an infant
proceeding from the seat occupied by the
couple, but they did not see it or witness
that the woman at any time tried to sooth
it. When the train arrived at Louisa it was
very dark and the couple alluded to left by
the rear steps of the coach, and were seen
afterwards standing near the office of the
depot agent. They walked in the direction
of the town and were soon lost sight of.
Too day week the same young man, who
then came from the direction of Gordons-
Vile, drove up TO the Louisa Courthouse
livery stable in q two wheeled vehicle
drawn BY spirited and valuable horse
and left it with the proprietor, saying he
might be absent fou', six, or ten days,
but he wanted the horse given the best
food and attention and he would call and
paw for it. Saturday night he called,
paid his bill and drove off Soon after
this he entered the hotel and was sollcltons
that Major Trice, the proprietor, should
haste in getting him up a snack, which ne
said was for a lady. His hdgetty uneasl-
ness was then noticeable. On getting the
snack he entered his vehicle and soon van.
ished in the friendly shade of congenlal
darkness. Whether there was any one else
in tie conveyance with him at that time
could not be seen.
About half past ten o'clock Saturday
night Mr. Joseph Kent was returning from
q visit to friends at the Courthouse to the
residence of Robert NJ. Kent; Esq, his
uncle, where he resided. The dwelling OF
Mr.. Kent is on rear street OF the village,
several hundred yards from the depot, and
stands by itself. Young Mr. Kent opened
the front gate and stepped inside AS ne
did 80 his foot became entanged IN some
object and he was nearly thrown down. The
object was seen to come in two parts, ana
one part at least emitted distinct and en-
phatic wall that told of the presence of a
healthy baby. AS soon az Mr.. Kent could
comprehend the situation he gathered the
little one" and its attachments and carried
them to the house, where, on examination,
was found pretty and apparently two
months old female baby, neatly clad, but
with no mark or sign calculated to lead to
discovery of It's autecedents. The tempo.

convey the infant from Richmond to where
it was found proved to he one Of the ordi-
nary chip fruit baskets in constant use 10

Mr.. H. B. CLAFLIN, the famous New
York dry goods merchant until now one of
the most pronounced republicans of his city,
says he can not support for the highest Of
fee in the land man convicted in the pub
lie estimation of dishonesty and perjury.
There are hundreds of thousands of repub-
licans Of the Claflin stamp in the Union,
and the countenance they give to the Cleve-
land cause is enough to make that cause
successful were the democratic detection
twenty times greater even than it is re-
ported to be. But democratic detection in
Presidential year, with every prospect of
success in view, and after being out in the
cold for quarter of a century, is not prob
able enough to be the cause of any serious
alarm

KILLED IN PLAY.-Intelligenc has been
received of the. shooting and killing of Hen
ry Jones by his brother Thomas, in Meek
lenburg county, in this State. The parties
were playing with shotgun, when Thorn
as, who had the gun in hand, leveled it at
Henry, remarking at the time: Look out,
1 am going to shoot" The words had
hardly been uttered before the weapon was
discharged, and Henry fell corpse at his
brothers feet with his brains blown out.
An inquest was held, the jury rend ering
verdict of accidental shooting.

Mr.. Chaffee, one of the managers Oh 'h'

~ don't know what kind OF marshal you
have in Cincinnati, but there IL chance
for the right kind of man TO Distinguish
himself"
ITnpatriotic men in the South as well as
in the North, and democrats as we'll as le'
publicans, hope that these suggestions
of the gentlemen referred to may be adopt
ed but while some do SO because they want
the Government to remain i'll the hands OF
those who now control ii, The desire OF the
others is for the opportunities TO be afforded
by the troubles that would necessarily en-
sue. There are fifty-G millions of people
in the country now, and nothing would
please large number of them more than
the chances incident to a resort to force by
either one of the political parties. OF such
troubles the South, with herpast experience
would be merely locker on in Vienna.

A DISPATCH dated Columbus, Ohio, yes.

Gould. Sage, Dillon, Roach and others have
r,ised a fund of $4,000 for use in the Ohio
election and have forwarded it by six spe-
cial agents to this State, two going to CID
c;nnati two to Toledo and twoto Cleveland.
The money is to be used on the day OF cleo.

r. dav in no other way than in the direct
purchase of votes. How long can Tree
government be expected to last when the
votes of its subjects are bought in open

Burning of a Tobacco Factory.

PETERSBURG, Va, Oct. 1.-THE tobacco
factory of G. A. Jackson & Co., on High
street, the second largest in the city, was
totally consumed by fire last night, with its
contents, involving a loss of over $4,000

600. The fire originated in the leaf room.
The burning of this factory throws out of

The fire was not extinguished until an early
hour this morning In addition to the fac
tory several small tenements were also

Mr.. Blaine at that time did not need the
Catholic vote so much as at present.
In answer 10 an inquiry rs to the stand o.

that a number of Catholic journals do net

The Freedom Of Worship Bill.
From the Irish American.)

That excellent paper the Brooklyn Catho-
lie Examiner celebrates with the current IS
sue the first anniversary gifts existence. 1t
has won very deserved success and can
now be placed in the front rank of the pub
LEGATIONS of its class here and elsewhere.
One of the most prominent features of this
Jubilee number is the result of an investiga-
ton personally made by the editor in refer
ence to the Freedom of Worship Bill, for
the defeat of which Governor Cleveland is
maliciously held responsible by some of his
opponents ar. Fitzgerald publishes COM
piete vindcatlom ofthe Governor and shows
that he never in any way interfered with
the passage of the bill, or influenced his
friends against it, and that the charges that
have been made against him are silly mis-
represent ations.
BREAKS DOWN THE STRONGEST OBJECTIONS.
(From the Catholic EXamincr.)
From QUE Of the ablest Ca holic 20 rnalists
in this country, who has always been among
the irst to rebuke bigotry wherever it Was
found, We have received the folowing:-
TO the Editor Of the Catholic Examiner
DEAR SIR-Your article breaks down my
strongest objection to Cleveland. Respect.
fully, -.
We withhold the name of this correspon-
dent, as his note was personal. 1t is one,
however, that is well known among Catho-
lies.
The fact that such men as he had been
preiudiced against Mr.. Cleveland shows the
injury that has been done that gentleman
by the misrepresentation that have been
made by those who were either prejudiced
or ignorant of the facts
We are glad to see that the publication OF
the truth has brought about reaction, and
that the indications now are that those who
originated the ISLANDERS will in the end be
injured by them more than will MIR. Cleve-
land.
One of our readers wants to know what
Mr. Blaine has ever said or done in behalf
If Ireland that his friends should expect
Irishmen to support him.
We hasten to reply. Here is what Mr..
Blaine has said and done for ireland:-

REASONS FOR OPENING SHAKES
PEARE's GRAVE.

The famous Chandos portrait,
which is the commonly accepted
likeness OF the poet, has very
doubtful pedigree. The Death Mask
represents a noble face, and one
which all would wish that Shakes
peare really did look like, but it's
pedigree is very defective, and only
q certain resem blance can be trace d
in it to the authen sicated portraits.
Shskespeare's skull would set all
these doubts arrest, even il we found
nothing more in the grave. Buff. by
good fortune, q photograph of the
poets face could be made, would not
the end justify the means taken TO
secure it? That such q hope is not
q wild impossibility Is known to
Iscience, and the instances given
above of the opening of the graves
of many poets and others, would
seem to lead to but one conclusion,
that the world will not rest satisfied
until the experiment has been tried,
and the tomb at Stratford-upOn-
Avon made to give up its mystery.
Let it be done reverently, but let it
be done soon. Every year that 70 Is
by of course helps to defeat the end
that is to be attained. But that II
will finally he done is surely but
question of time.-J. Parker Norris
in The Manhattan tor July.

CROW.
How the Republicans are
Taking the Unsavory
Dish.

Blaine will have hard row to hoe
in New York.-Representative His
cock, rep.
Its a disgraceful nomination, and
l will not support it.-TheOdore
Lyman, rep. Of Massachusetts.
If elected, he certainly will do
something to make his name re-.
sembered.-TOronto Ontario News.
Republican crow is better than
Democratic turkey any day in the
Year.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Poppycock is perhaps the fittest
term with which to characterize
the Chicago conyention.-Detroit
News, Ind.
We are sorry for it, and we be.
lieve the republicans will all be
sorry for it next Nevember.-New
York Herald.
Moreover, we do not believe Blaine
will receive the united republican
support, by which only can he sue
eeed at the polls Rochester, n. Y,
Herald, rep.
Believing that Mr.. Blaine would
be bad and dangerous president,
we hope to see him defeated. Be
lieVing him to be a weak candidate,
we expect to see him defeated
Boston Herald, ind. rep.
That Mr.. Blaine cannot be elected
we look on rs certain. Whether he
can be defeated without running the
organization which is being PROS
tituted in the service of his selfish
ambition remains to be seen.-New
York Evening Post, rep.
We believe Bayard would beat
Blaine in New York and Msssachu-
setts, and with some northwestern
tariff reformer, like Villas, of Wis
consin, as second on the ticket,
carry the country, in the expressive
phraseology of the track, "hands
down. "-Louisville Times, Ind.
With undated devotion to the
great purposes for which the Repubs
lican party was organized and has
been maintained, we declare our in
ability to support the nomination,
either in the present aspect of the
political field or In any which now
seems likely to present itself.-Bos-
ton Advertiser, Rep.
Mr.. Blaine does not represent,
has never rep resented, and probably
never will represent, that considers
able portion Of his party which is
governed by principle rather than
by sentiment, and without whose
votes no Republican candidate for
President can be elected. Buffalo,
N. Y :, Express, Rep.
Blaine's nomination means dis
astrous defeat for the Republican
party, and from that defeat the
party would never recover except
under other leaders and perhaps
under another nine. The party
has assuredly fallen upon evil days.
It has been stained and dishonored
by men who have no part in it save
their own selfish and ignoble pur-
poses New York Times, rep.
These nominations are revolus
tionary. They are such az the Re
publican party has never before pre-
sented anu will carry dismay and
alarm to thousands Of men who
have regarded this as the party OF
safety. Of integrity, OF principle and
OF. high moral ends. They portend
deserved disaster and defeat to the
Republican party and revolution
