Last Friday. Judge John ". Stout. of
the Augusta Court, presided at the Rock
bridge County Court for Judge Patton, in
the trial of suit broughtby the Virginia
Military Institute against it's former
Treasurer, James T., Frazier, to recover
possession of the Hospital building of the
Institute, which he occupies as resi-
dence. The Malone Board put Treasurer
Frazier in possession of the house, as an
officer of the Institute. When the new
Board came in possession they elected an
other man to the post of Treasurer. The
Ex-Treasurer claimed that the new Board
had no power to remove him, except for
misconduct IN office, which Was not
charged, and continued to hold possession
of the residence. The Court on Friday
gave judgment for the plaintiff. but sus-
pended its execution for sixty days, to
give the defendant time to apply tc the
Court Of AppealsS for supersedeas and
writ of error. The defendant was repre-
sented by Attorney General Blair land the
plaintiff by Col. Edmund Pendleton.

JOHN III. PLUNKETT ACCIDENTALLY
KILLED.

JOHN II. PLUNKETT ACCIDENTALLY
KILLED.
Mr.. John H. Piunkett, the we'll known
contractor for buildings, lately hired the

it the street runs along the edge of a
creek, the rocky bed of which is six feet
below it. On Tuesday morning last, while
Mr.. Plunkett was driving near there his
horse became frightened at the cars and
ran. He ran over cow, upset the buggy
and threw Mr.. Plunkett into the rocky
bed of the creek. Mr.. 7. struck on his
head, experienced conclusion of the brain,
and never recovered consciousness. He
died Wednesday morning at 2 o'clock
Last evening ne was buried, the Masons

member, attending his funeral.
MI. Plunkett was about fifty years of
age and was son Of Benz. Plunkett, who
came to Augusta from Lynchburg, and
whose first work in the county was Mt.
Carmel church. The son followed his
fathers profession and became success
full builder and most important employer
to the working people. Not less than
thirty families are dependent on the men
i'll his employment. He was fine bust
ness man, reliable, attentive, kind to all
he had anything to do with, and his death
is great loss to the community and es-
pecially TO the working people. He leaves
widow but no children. His aged faith
or and mot her and brother and sister

Applied at the Asylum.

J. H. Martin was tried IN Charlottes-
vile last week for shooting and killing
Percy Darlington, a son of the Mayor Of
Richmond, on the Midland ears few
weeks ago. He was acquitted on the
ground of insanity, both inherited and the
result of excessive drinking. His acquit-
tai aroused some resentment in Charlottes-
vile, which, however, seems to have been
more caused by indiscreet manifesto
lions of joy by the prisoners friends than
for any otter cause. On Wednesday
evening Martin was brought here to
Stanton and yesterday morning applied
for admission to the Lunatic Asylum
The place was full and he could not be
taken. He was taken back to Albemarle
by the officers, yesterday evening.

Staunton, Va, 1!!4ng tie war, and that
her father was Major in the Confederate
army, who had plantation in Augusta
county, was arraigned at the Tombs Po-
lice Court in New Y ork, Tuesday. Alice's
mother died soon after the war, and her
father married again. Alice was sent to
st. Mary's Convent at Baltimore. In 1875,
while she was at home ON a vacation,
Howe & Cushing's circus exhibited at
Stauptor, and it was holiday for Au-
gusta county. Alice, who was IA years
old, went to the show with the rest of the
world. Her father had died the year be-
fore. Edward Burns, Alice says, was
manager OF the meuagerie. He was "a
years old, and Alice thought he was one
of the handsomest young men she had
ever seen. She ran away from home; mar
ried him, and travelled with the circus.
She went through the United States and
to Canada and one season to Australia.
She lad three children. Two Of them are
dead. A girl, Mary, is living. In the
winter they lived IN New York, and in
the winter of 1884 Mr.. Burns, who was
working ia a Bowery museum, died of
consumption.
The wife, says the N. Y. "Sun", sent
her daughter Mary to relative to be cared
for. She herself became Circassian girl
in Bowery show. On Monday night she
was arrested in Hester street for drunk
enness and taken to the Elizabeth street
station. She was locked up and tried to
hang herself with silk handkerchief.
She was found and cut down. In the
Tombs Police Court, Tuesday, she was
committed for trial in default of $500 bail
A year ago, after a prolonged spree, she
made similar attempt at suicide in the
Eldridge street station. and was sentenced
to the penitentiary. On one Of her sprees
she was beaten in the Big Flat saloon, 90
Mott street, and her arm was broken. She
has soft blue eyes and jet black hair.

Enioined.

The firm of E. A. Fulcher & Co., of
Augusta. of which Geo. A. Hundley, of
Richmond, is the Co., borrowed the sum
of SIS, eS7. so from Churchill Doggett, of
Richmond, and to secure the debt con-
yeyed 225 barrels of whiskey in trust to
VIM, A. Burnett, trustee. Under instruc-
lions from the beneficiary OF the deed Bur-
nett advertised the 225 barrels Of Whiskey,
now at the distillery of Fulcher u Co., to
be sold on Monday last to satisfy a bal
ance of S., OG0. ~ due on the debt and inter-
est. One hundred and ninety-nine barrels
of she Whiskey Is claimed by the following
parties as their property-John 3. OCon-
nell of Stanton. Al barrels: Davenport d
Morris of Richmond, 100 barrels; Brown,
Davis & Co, of Richmond, 5 barrels, and
E. A. Saunders az Son, of RichEond, SO
barrels. Judge Mclaughlin has granted

Judge Wexford of Richmond, has granted
an injunction to the Richmond claimants,
and the sale has been stopped. 1t is
claimed that this whiskey is owned by the
parties in suit and is not the whiskey con-
weged to Trustee Burnett. The litigation
promises some intricate law points.
