TRIAL OF CLUVERIUS.

Ia the Cluverius murder trial yesterday
the prosecution introduced letter written
by Cluyerius to Lillian Madison in Septem-
Der last, in which he addresses her in kind
terms, giving her general news, and chiding
her for her delay in writing to him. The
letter concludes by urging her to marry
that fellow" as he (Cluverius) thought it
the best thing she could do. The poem
found in LIlian's Trunk was offered in evi.
dence but owing to its vile character it was
agreed by court and COUNSEL not to have it
read in open court, hui that the jury should
read it themselves.
Charles Madison, father of Lillian, was
recalled and testified that the prisoner had
been visiting his house for about two years,
the last time in July last. Concerning the
letters sent by the we'll digger, Biggs, to
his daughter, witness said that Lillian burn
ed them, and that he scolded her for 20 do
ing. Lillian then left the house and went
to her grandfather's there was nothing
criminal in the letters. Witness said he
never made the statement in church before
the congregation that his daughter had left
home to attend school and not for improper
purposes; he never had any trouble
with his daughter until she became init.
mate with the prisoner had looked upon
them as lovers about eighteen months or
two years.

plantations, and when the settlers were too
far from court. houses and churches to at
tend them, the State threw the net over
them in the form of new counties and new
parishes. The instruments of civilization in
those days were courts, jails, whipping posts,
stocks, ducking stools, and churches, and
church wardens, the latter being civil Off
GERS, and a sort of censors, whose duty il Was
to present all overt immoralities and breech-
es of the peace to the county courts. The
execution of these duties often brought these
officers into conflict with the dissenters from
the Established Church, and thus involved
the Church in the ndium attached to the
State, with which il was blended, that the
people could not distinguish the one from
the other. 1t was this recurring conflict
which gave such powerful lever To the dis
senters in their efforts to overturn the Els.
tablishel Church, and which alienated many
of its friends. This alienation was stimu-
lated by the Stamp act which bound lead
ing Churchmen TO the mother country, and
ultimately involved Church and State in
one common ruin.
The sneaker then alluded to the massacre
By the Indians on March o. 1922, of all the
whites and Indians, which blighted the
prospect of the founding in Virginia great
university for the education CT young men
and the training of the children of the in.
tidels in religion and civilty. The site Of
the college was Henrecopolis, now known
as dutch Gap" The colony was saved
from utter determination by civilized In.
dian, who hearing of the conspiracy, gave
information to the whites, which resulted
in the saving of jamestown and eight plan
tations.
The speaker in concluding, said:
But what became of the vine that leaned
upon the old tree for support? When the
support around which it was twined fell it
was torn from its embrace, trailed upon the
ground and tramp!ed in the dust until it
thought that the life was crushed ont of
her.
The vitality was not the State, but the
Christi am the vine; We are the branches.
The life current began to flow and the vine
revived like the corn, and its scent was of
the wine of Lebanon.
"Our Church no longer leans upon the
secular arm, but is self.supporting, clothed
only with the armor of God, with the shield
of faith, the helmet Of salvation and the
sword of the spirit, which is the word of
God, and her feet shod with the preparation
of the Gospel of Peace. May we humbly
hope that she will 60 on corquerng and 10
CONQUER"

MR.. BLAIR, General Mahone's attorney
general, has opened his mouth again. He
now says, in reference to the reputation
legislation Of the Malone Legislature, the
people of the State and the creditors alike
we're satisfied with the settlement" That
the creditors were not satisfied is proved by
their refusal to fund under the legislation
referred to, and by their persistent efforts to
render it null and void. Aud though the
people of the State acquiesced in 1t, that
large number Of them were not satisfied is
demonstrated by the fact that they opposed
it until they saw that further opposition
would ruin the Safe by continuing the
"malign influence" Of Malone, and prolone
the terrible rule of that boss and his negro
cohorts. But, Mr.. Bi;ir, like most OF bis
party, takes little heed of what he says. He
is the gentleman, it will hc recollected, who
said that 'honor would not buy break
fast" and though he now processes to belong
to the republican party, the party that laysso
much wordy stress upon the binding obliga-
ton Of necuniary contracts, he ia upon re
cent record as expressing the opinion that
the principles Of read justmcnt should be ap-
piled to the national, rs we'll as 10 the State

SHOCKING DISASTER.

At half-past one o'clock yesterday after
noon dense clouds of smoke were seen issu-
ing from the rear windows of the factory
Nos. 10 and 81 West Sixtieth street. Cnciu.
natl An alarm brought the engines almost
Instantly, and il wa6 not fifteen minutes be.
fore the fire was SO much under control that
Chief Engineer Wisely was able to reach
the fifth or top floor. But he was too late
to rescue the girls employed there, and to
his horror he found ten dead bodies lying
with hands to their faces and faces BLACK en-
ed and distorted in death.
As soon as the fire started John Sullivan,
young man, ran up to the filth floor to
give warning to the girls. He found he
was too late to get them down the
stairway, and that his own retreat was cut
off. What he did for the frightened girls
could only be told by the gIimpses that
could be seen of him at the smoking win
dow, whence four of the girls had eaped TO
their death. J. r. Knsley's son and his
foreman had gone to the roof of the build
ing adjoining, and procured rope and low
cred il to the window where Sullivan was.
He instantly grasped it, and, fastening one
Of the girls to it, helped her out of the win
dow, and she was lowered safely to the side
WIKI. L ne Tupe was ulCuSub ups dhu houi-
Ivan again quickly fastened it to another
girl and sent her down safely. The rope
came third time, and as the other girls by
this time were all sufocated or were afraid
to venture, Sullivan fastened the rope to
his own body and was being lowered, when,
as he was halfway down, the flames shot
out of a window, and he fell head foremost
to the sidewalk and was killed. When the
girls were jumping from the window large
colored man tried to catch them, and nearly
lost his own life in the attempt.
There were about fifty occupants of the
building, of whom twenty or twenty five
were girls, in the fifth story. There was an
opening in the roof, which they could easily
have reached from u bench standing beside
the wall, and once on the roof, they could
have reached the other buildings with per-
feet ease

treasurer of the State of Virginia, which
office he held until about the year 1880,

He is now about seventy.six years Of ag@.
In 1860 he was a candidate for the Presidency

FROM WASHINGTON.
spocial Correspondence Of the Alexandria aasette.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May %, 1885.


WASHINGTON, D. O., May %, 1885.
Leading and well-informed republicans
from Virginia here to day revive the old
story to the effect that General Malone
intends being the candidate of his party for
the Gubernatorial nomination. They say
that while the General may, and does, deny
it, and processes to take no part between
Mr.. Wise and Mr.. Blair, who are the most
prominent avowed candidates for the nomi-
zion, they know that he is arranging his
plans 80 that when the convention shall
assemble he shall be taken up as the one
candidate who can settle all opposing in
tsrests. IF he and Malone Legislature
be elected, he will, they say, resign and let
the Governors duties be performed by the
Lieutenant Governor, and come back to the
Senate.
Mr.. W. W. DUNCAN, one of the lessees of
the Alexandria Canal, says that canal will
not be in navigable order before the 10th of
June, if then. He also says Mr.. Charley
Wattles will be appointed to the collector
ship of the canal at Alexandria, lately filled
by Mr.. Monroe, who has received an ap.
pointment in the internal revenue service.
While it is reported in some quarters that
the President is so annoyed by the opposing
interests of those applicants for the Offices of
the District of Columbia who reside in the
District that he contemplates filling those
offices with people who don't live here. it is
asserted in others that so far from being
bothered about that matter, the President has
long since made his selections, and that
Mai. T. P. Morgan will be the Marshal, MIR.
Louis Schade be register of deeds, and Mr..
Watson Boyle be recorder of wills-all resi-
dents of the District.
