SIR DILKE's DISGRACE.
Mrs. Crawford to Refute Rer Comics.
siOn-Dilke to Retire.

Mrs. Crawford to Refute Her Confess
siOn-Dilks to Retire.
LONDON, Aug. 9.-In order to mitigate
the disastrous effects of the Crawford
Dixie scandal, the Liberals are circulating
a statement that Sir Charles Duke denies
that he had criminal intercourse with
Mrs. Crawford, and that the lady herself
has withdrawn the confession made to her
husband, and when in the witness-box
will declare that the confession was
not true, and was made under hys-
terical delusiOns. Mr.. CrawfOrd's
friends insist that he has evidence
apart from his wife's confession, but say
that he will not persevere in the action
unless convinced that it is perfectly justi-
fable and absolutely necessary. The
trial will be the last OF a heavy list to be
heard in the divorce courts in Decem Der.
Tue name of Sir Charles Dixie has been
sxpunged from the list OF speakers for the
coming electoral campaign. Sir Charles
win pass the autumn at villa near
TOulOn.
Sir Dixie has written TO his cOnstitu-
ents denying the truth Of the accusation
brought against him, and asking their
torbearance until the trial Of the divorce
case, which he says he awaits with con-
ddenCe.

HoNORED LIVES GONE OUT.
Judge Garland Dies at LynChbarg, and
Prof. Kerr at AaheYIlIA.


LYNcHBURG, VA, Aug 9.-Judge Jas.
Garland, probably the Oldest Judge
in the world, and it is believed the Oldest
member of the Masonic fraternity in the
United States, died at his home in this
city last night, in the 95th year Of his age.
Judge Garland was native of Albemarle
county, Va. He adopted the profession
OF law, and was, early in his cancer, con-
spicuous for great ability as an advocate,
aud finally came to be the greatest
prosecuting attorney in Western Vir-
ginia. He was a volunteer in the war of
1872, and was twice elected 10 Congress.
lie was warm friend Of President Jack
son, and made a notable speech in de-
tense OF the latter In the House, for which
MRS. jackson thanked him in person and
by letter. He was prosecuting attorney
or Lynchburg for nearly twenty wears,
and Judge of the Corporation Court
Tor hfteen years, and has been
altogether at the bar and on the bench
seyenty-three years, having only retired
In 1883, when in his 02d year, and after he
had become totally blind In all his Off
cial life he never had but two of HIS de-
cisiOns reversed. He became Mason in
1872. He voted for James Madison for
1fesldent, and for every nominee of the
Democratic party since, having gone to
the polls in carriage last November and
cast his ballot for Cleveland and Hen
bricks. The bells of the city are tolling
to-day out of respect to him.
DEMISE OF AN ARTILLRRYMAN.
GALVESTON, Aug. Capt. John NJ.
Forshey, of the Galveston ARTILLERY, died
suddenly this morning from congestion of
the brain, aged 40 years. Capt. FOrshey
personally supervised the firing of the
salutes yesterday in memory of Gen.
Grant, and 1t is thought that the exposure
and excitement incidental to the occasion
superlnduced his death. The deceased
was a son of the late Prof Forshey, of
New Orleans. AS a Lieutenant in the
Confederate service he made a brilliant
record, and was greatly esteemed for his
chiValric character.

VIRGINIAs CAMPAIGN.
The Feeling of the People and the Issues
at Stake.


at Stake.
CHARLOTTEsVILLE, VA, Aug. 9.-The
Republicans of this section are making
elaborate preparations for a desperate
fight in the fall campaign. 1t would be
exceedingly rash in any one to claim a
thorough comprehension of Virginia poll
tics and to predict the result of an cleo
tion at any time, so great and manifold
are the local issues that are continually
presenting themselves in the conflicting
sections of the State, and which in
large measure control the votes OF the
prejudiced and thOughtless masses. There
are indications, however, that the gross
abuse Of power by the Readiusters
and the betrayal of the State to
the Republicans. together with
the audacity with which the so-called
Readjusters now proclaim themselves
Republicans, serve to awaken the true
and substantial citizens of the State to
the fact that their interests are being
jeopardized, and it behOoves them to pro-
tect their property and person from the
threatened DANCER of being once more
placed under the odiOus control of un-
scrupulOus and incompetent officials who
have no interests in common with the
people. The issue has narrowed down to
the question whether the Democrats or
Republicans shall manage the affairs OF
the Old Dominion, and whether Virginia
is to be the first to surrender the benefits
and blessings which are secured under
the newly-established national Demo-
cretIc administration.

LAS VEGAS, N. NJ, Aug. 9,--The Mon
tezuma Hotel, at Las Vegas Hot Springs,
caught fire at 10: 80 O'Clock last night and
was burned nearly to the ground in an
hour. Eight eastern guests are reported
to have persisted in the flames. The hotel
was owned by the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe Railroad Company. 1t was
opened in April last. The company's
hotel on the same site was burned eigh-
teen months ago. The fire last night was
otlneendiary origin. IL broke out in
fourth story attic near the main tower in
the servants quarters. There were 70
guests in the house. The building burned
like tinder and the heat was so great that
no baggage or furniture was saved. Spe-
cial trains have taken up both of the Las
Vegas fire companies. The loss win be
nearly S250,0O0.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT,
DENVER, COL, Aug. "a special ac-
count OF the Las Vegas fire received in
this city is quite different from the one
sent TO the press. II says: "The fire
originated about IL :3O O'clock in the lobby
OF the fourth floor in the attic near the
stairway leading to the top of the
grand tower. The mercurial alarm was
sounded in the office, and the guests were
Immediately warned by the sounding of
electric gongs in all the departments Of
the house. About seventy-tlve rooms we're
occupied by guests, and as the fire start
ed far above the occupied rooms every
body escaped and nearly all the personal
effects Of the guests were saved.
The fire worked it's way gradually to
the bottom OF the house. The furniture
on the ground floor, and some on the
upper floors, was saved. The stone walls
of the third story were saved from utter
destruction and may possibly be utilized
in rebuilding. The loss is $500, 900 and
the insurance $250,000. distributed among
large number Of companies. The origin
of the fire is now attributed to the wires
OF the electric lighting system becoming
oVerheated and igniting the woodwork"
