Especial telegram 10 the Dlspetch.l
LYNcHBUEe, VA, May Ito
day horrible accident occurred on the
Virginia Midland railroad near the cat
tle-guards, In the city, resulting in the
death Of Mr.. William II. White, an old
resident Of Amherst county.
There is double track at the point
indicated, and at the time Of the acci-
dent the material train and the shift
ing engine were passing, going in oppo-
site directions. Mr.. White. who was
seventy-nine years Of age and conse-
quently not very active, stepped from
one track to the other in order TO avoid
the material train, but not seeing the
shifting-engine he was run over and
horribly mutilated. His legs and arms
were cut off, and his body terribly
mangled and crushed. The locomotive
and tender both passed over him.
In the Circuit Court to-day, Judge
Wingfeld presiding, testimony was
taken in the case Of ID. A. Black rs.
w. W. Coffee. Judge Wingfeld de-
cided that Black, the father, was en-
titled to possession Of his child. This
is case in which Coffee claimed to
have adopted Blacks child upon the
death Of its mother, since which time
the little girl has been in CotIee's pos
session. Black denied that the child
had been adopted, claiming that it had
simply been placed temporarily in the
care Of its aunt, Mrs. Coffee, and he
sued for its recovery. The case, it is
understood, will be appealed.

The MISUNDERSTANDING Trouble.

OTTAWA, ONT, May l2.--General
Middleton has ordered up forces to
strengthen his column, and wants more
cannon and Calling guns. The Bruce
battalion has been called out and the
Montreal garrison artillery has started
for the front. The Toronto field-bat-
terry is in expectation of receiving or
ders at any moment, and the Prince Of
Wales Rifles of Montreal and the Sixty
second regiment Of st. John, n. B., have
both been ordered out.
WINNIPEG, May l2.-Advices re-
ceived here indicate that General Middle
tons forces were engaged all day she'll
ing Riels men from an entrenched po-
sition. Two of the troops were killed
and twelve or fifteen wounded. When
General Middleton's courier left Sunday
evening for Clark's Crossing it was the
plan to resume the attack to-day.
General Middleton has asked for more
troops, and achievements have been
ordered forward. This is taken to mean
that the Government has more alarming
news than has yet been made public, as
no one here can see any great necessity
for bringing up more troops. The adj
ditional troops ordered to the field will
increase the Government force to 5000.

S. Roberts, president of the defunct
Bank Of Augusta, for whom a requisi-
ton was made by Governor Hill, of
New York. and is now pending in the
courts, cut his throat with razor from
ear TO ear this morning. While the
wounds are gaping and ugly, the physi-
clans say they will not be fatal. The
iugular vein and carotid arteries are not
severed. Recent complications have so
affected Roberts's mind as to render him
partially insane. The grand jury, now
in session, found true bills against him
for perjury and ENLIGHTENMENT as presi-
dent Of the Bank of Augusta. lie was
required to furnish bond for his appear
ance in the sum of $4,000. These
true bills, with other troubles, led to
the rash attempt to take his life.
1t is also reported that the grand
Jury found a true bill against 4. ii.
Walton, cashier of the Bank of Au-
gusta, for perjury. Bail is required in
Walton's case in the sum of $4,000.
Mr.. Roberts is resting quietly. The
doctors say there is no danger of death
except from secondary hemorrhage. Be-
fore cutting his throat Mr.. Roberts at
tempted to shoot himself, but was pre-
vented by friends. His son took the
pistol from him and left him lying down
in his room over his office. A few min
utes later, hearing him walking rapidly
back and forth upstairs, the son went
to the room and found his father with
a razor in his hand and blood stream
ing from a wound in his neck. The
son called for assistance, but before II
arrived Roberts had made two gasheS
in his throat.
