WHIsKEY's SAD William
Nichols, foreman under Mr.. p H.
Bennett, on the line of the f. M. Il
p railroad, died suddenly near this
place yesterday afternoon. The de.
ceased had been under the influence
of liquor since about the Goth of
March, and during the past week he
was frequently attacked with the de-
lirium tremens; while in that condi-
tion he wandered aimlessly around
the country in the nighborhood of
Houlttown and Rivesville, causing
much uneasiness to the people in
that section. Mr.. Bennett yesterday
afternoon induced Nichols to get
into his buggy. and started to bring
him to this place, where he intended
to have the unfortunate man proper
ly cared for. Just before reaching
the new bridge across the Mononga-
hela, Nichols suddenly threw his
head back and gasped for breath.
Bennett supported the now dying
man in his arms until he arrived at
the bridge, where some of his hands
were working, but Nichols was dead
when they came to that point. After
binding up the jaws of the dead
man Mr.. Bennett brought him to
town, supporting the body in the
seat of the vehicle with one arm, and
placed the remains in the shop of
Undertaken Nuzum, to await the cor
oner's inquest, which is to be held at
8 o'clock this morning. The deceas-
ed was an industrious and intelligent
man, about As years of age, and a
native of Maryland. No one knows
where his relatives reside, and it is
probable that the body will be buried
Inder.

The Rambler.

Some days ago / met a gentleman
from the central portion of the State,
and asked him if the reports con-
corning the scarcity of bread for the
people and feed for stock were as re-
ported. He answered my inquiry as
follows: The reports, although ex-
aggerated, bear with them a grain of
truth. That there is great search
ty of the necessaries of life in the
counties of Gilmer, Calhoun and
Braxton no one acquainted in the
least with the facts will for mo-
ment deny. But it is not, and ow
ing to existing circumstances, will
not be likely to become a serious
matter. If the people of these
counties were denied intercourse with
neighboring counties and indeed 9th
er States, the situation would in
short time no doubt become quite
serious. But as the latter SUPPOSE
tion does not at all agree with the
facts, and the people are and will
continue daily to receive supplies
from points on the railroad, their
wants are supplied. 1t is to be sin
cerely hoped that the people Of those
counties who are now having to i'm
port their supplies will learn lesson
from this experience that they will
not soon forget. OF course the cause
of this hardship is partly due to the
drouth last summer, but one of the
most potent reasons originates with
lack of industry on the part of some
of the poorer classes. 1t is to be
hoped that this short experience will
induce them hereafter to prepare for
the worst and then they will be safe.

The SKATING RINK.-Quite an
amusing affair took place at the rink
on last Friday night. Three boys,
viz: Frank Dorsey, Bernie MADEIRA
and Dorsey st. Clair participated in
race of five rounds, and each round
having to pass through barrel
which was suspended by ropes about
three feet from the floor 1t will
readily be seen that it was quite diff
ficult to get into the barrel, and very
easy to get out, and just here is
where the fun for the spectators ap.
peared The first mentioned lad
proved to be victorious, and received
season ticket for one week.
There was a dance at the rink
on last Saturday night. A very
pleasant time is reported by those
present.
Student Turner may be denomi-
mated the "spring skater
1t is reported that Lieut.. w. S.
Stuart was stationed at the rink a
few nights ago, taking some astro.
nomical observations; he become
very much elated at what he consid-
cred the discovery of a new comet.
But later observations only proved
the fallacy of this supposition and
established the fact beyond the pos
sibility of doubt that Adult r.
Armstrong was present on that &C.
casion.
1t is prevalent opinion that the
rink fever, unlike the yellow fever,
RACES only in the winter time. But
this idea seems to be antagonized by
the facts, as new accessions are
daily made Perhaps this is a local
phenomenon.

For -LIFE-VARNER, THE GRAFTON
WIFE MURDERER, FOUND GUILTY AND
SENTENCED To IMPRISONMENT FOR
80 YEARs--On last Friday morning
William Warner was brought from
his cell in the Pruntytown jail and
put upon his trial for the murder of
his wife, which occurred near Graf
ton on Wednesday night, January
7th, full account of which appear
ed in the New DOMINION at the time
Our readers are already too familiar
with the story of how the assassin
stole, in the darkness Of the night,
to the window of the humble dwell
ing of Mrs. Courtney, and with a
deadly aim sent bullet crushing
through the brain Of an inoffensive
woman whose only fault seems to
have been that of being the wife of
SO depraved a creature. With her
youth and comeliness her marriage
q few months before, TO Warner was
the surprise of all, and his shameful
treatment, which drove her from
him, was but the freak of beastly
nature hardened by a life of the
most mental character The most
stolid indifference characterized him
when arrested, and during his i'm
prisonmcnt and trial. At the bar of
the court, and while his attorneys
were using all learning to be found
in the books and every device known
to legal accumen for his defense,
and check mating the prosecution
at almost every step, by legal intri-
cacies, and while the vast audience,
who had come together to hear the
trial, listened to every word with
bated breath, the prisoner alone was
unmoved and disinterested. AS the
prosecution proceeded, adding strand
after strand to the rope of circum-
stances which was to bind him to
the horrible deed of numbering his
wife, the prisoner lounged carelessly
in his seat, taking frequent mouth
fuls from plug Of black navy
which he carried in his pocket. The
argument began on Monday, and the
jury took the case on Tuesday morn,
ing, and retired to their room, and
in about half an hour they notified
the sheriff that they were ready to
come out. The prisoner was brought
in and the jury filed out and took
their places in the box. Their
names were called by clerk Herr, and
each man answered to his name. To
the question, Gentlemen of the jury
have you agreed upon a verdict"
asked by the clerk. Foreman Kane
answered, I'VE have" and handed
the following verdict to the clerk,
which was read by him: 1--WE, the
jury, find the prisoner guilty of MUIR
der in the first degree, and that he be
confined in the penitentiary for life"
The verdict was put in proper form
by Judge Ice, and the jury was dis
charged. During all this time the
prisoner maintained his indifference.
Seated at the counsel's table beside
his attorney, he appeared the very
picture of stolid indifference and I'M
concern, and the Employment of all
that is beastial and depraved. He
heard his doom without the culver
of a muscle, change of countenance
or the slightest indication of con-
corn = Gq0 ffOu Sf0DI0yd

The Liquor Dealers Resolutions

At Convention of the Liquor Dealers
OF the State of Mississippi held at Jack
son on the 18th day of August, 1885, the
following preamble and resolutions were
adopted:
WHEREAS, We believe that the right to
engage in lawful pursuits is inherent in all
men, and is guaranteed by the fundamental
law of the land and
WHEREAS, We consider the efforts now
being made to break down and destroy the
business in which we are engaged, as
unjustifed by any real injury, properly at
tributable to such business, and believe that
it is the result of spirit of fanaticism en-
couraged and prompted by persons not in
accord with the principles of the Democrat
ic party, if not for the direct purpose OF
avoiding and abetting its enemies; and
WHEREAS, We believe that the declara-
ton of the National democratic party in
its platform of principles as follows:
"We oppose snmptuary laws which vex
the citizen and interfere with his personal
liberty y"-enunciate principle which the
| inherent rights OF every person requires
should be recognized in all legislation.
We therefore do declare as follows:
|. That our business is legitim ate, and
is entitled toall proper recognition and pro-
| p,
and should not be Disseminated against
any further than fair regard to proper
and ordinary police regulation requires.
| That the unfair and fanatical war being
waged in favor of Prohibitions as we verify
believe, encouraged (if it was not instigat-
ed by) enemies of the Democratic party for
the purpose of raising issues upon which
it is hoped that the party may be divided
and thus contribute to its defeat.
| 8. That the self-inflicted injury to
individuals by their voluntary abnse
of intoxicating liquors or anr other
article of trade furnishes no valid reason
| for crushing large and legitimate business
| interests. and If such individ uals by reason
| of their voluntary excessess require pro-
lection against themselves, such protection
should not be at the expense of infringing
the rights of the entire people by adopting
sumptuary laws.
4. That we do not oppose the imposition
BY law of such license or such police regu-
| lations as may be necessary to prevent
disreputable or improper persons from en-
gaging in the liquor traffic.
| 5. That we believe that being citizens
and taxpayers of Mississippi we have a
right to insist that the party now in power
should not do us the great wrong of pass
ing measures prohibiting our pursuits, but
shall carry out the truly Democratic and
| just principles enunciated in Its platform
and upon the faith OF the sincerity Of which
enunciation so many thousands contributed
| to its success.
| g.. Be it further resolved, That a copy Of
these resolutions be handed to the Chair
man of the Democratic State Convention
to be held on the 10Th inst, with a request
that the same be read to said Convention
for their favorable consideration
