Two Central Railroad Freight Cars
Dumped into Musgrove Creek.
Two boX-csrs loaded with way freight
jumped from their trucks and fell into
Musgrove creek near the Ocean Steamship
Company's wharyes, Saturday evening.
They were botn Central railroad cars, and
one WAS almost new. A track crosses
the creek few hundred feet south Of the
police quarters. The train was crossing
the bridge when one car slipped of its
trucks and fell down in the stream ten
feet below. In falling il pulled another
off. One rolled over on its side and the
other stood on end. The packages Of mer-
chandise Of every description were badly
damaged, and some ruined by the water.
Yesterday morning wrecking crew was
put to work, and the last car was pulled
out about . o'clock in the afternoon. Al
ter the rain large crowd assembled to
watch and supervise the work. The cars
were not broken much, but the loss on
the freight is considerable.

Augusta is heading for second place in
the league. The death OF Henke Of the
Atlantas puts the nine back for a day or
two. In the last series Augusta played
10 games at home and won s of them,
which is the best record made in the
series. Macon started out to beat Column
bus, but, after the first game, lost the
next two. The last game on Saturday
was a shut out for Macon. Columbus got

A SINGULAR CAsE.-Sometime ago Mr..
w. F. Weller, who for several years has
been engaged in the agricultural imple-
ment business in this place, sold amachine
to MI. Jacob Clemmer of the county for
5000, for which the purchaser paid the
cash and took receipt. Weller was the
agent of the agricultural implement firm
of Wood & Co., of New York, and instead
of forwarding the money for the machine
sold. put it in his pocket and sent to the
house a note for tie amount. to which he
forged the name of the purchaser, Mr..
Clemmer. The note was sent to the Ma
tional Valley Bank, and when it became
due Mr.. Clemmer was notified. He at
once pronounced it, forgery and pre-
sented Weller's receipt for the amount
Weller was arrested, and without any he's
itation admitted the forgery. declaring
that he intended to pay the note himself
when it became due, but had been unable
to do so. He made no effort whatever to
escape even after he knew the note was
due, Tut seemed to think that he would
have committed no wrong had he paid the
note at maturity. The accused has been
in delicate health for some time, and from
his actions it seems that his mind, as well
as body, has been affected. He has an
estimable wife and family and is con-
nected with some of the worthiest people
of our county. The crime which he con-
fessed is very serious one, the punish
ment for which is Imprisonment in the
State prison. Weller is in Jail awaiting
Indictment.

The vlrginian for tho Campaign

4
The approaching campaign is one in
which the interests Of the State are deeply
involved. The issues TO be decided must
have a marked influence on the future OF
Virginia for years to come. 1t behooyes
every citizen to thoroughly acquaint HIM
self with those issues, and to decide IN his
own mind which of the parties seeking his
suffrage is the more entitled to his conf
dence and support. The records of the
two parties, in State and Nation, are
plainly written. They stand out In bold
relief, and to them the attention of the
people should be distinctly called The
unparalleled depression and business paral-
ysis that have overtaken the country dur
ing the brief period of Democratic as
cendency in the nation, are but the results
which have swiftly followed the transfer
of governmental control to that party.
The unsettled condition of affairs in the
State. the re-openlng of the debt question,
the attempted suppression of free ballot
the imposition of increased burdens upon
the people, and numerous measures OF
omission and commission equally repre-
hensible, are the legitimate fruits of Dem
ocratic triumph in Virginia. 1t remains
to be seen whether the people who must
bear the burdens, thus imposed, will not
manifest their protest in decided man
ner. What is needed to redeem the State
is that the voters shall be fully informed
upon the questions they must decide. To
this end live Republican paper should be
in the hands of every voter. In order to
afford this opportunity we will send the
VIReINIAN from now until the Sth Of No
vember at the following rates:
Single copy $3.50. ......... 25c.
so copies. ................... .$l2.oo
In all cases the cash must accompany
the order. No name will be entered until
the paper is paid for.
AS heretofore, the VIRGINIAN Will keep
fully abreast of the times, supplying its
readers with the latest and most reliable
information. political and other, and en-
deavoring to present its own views calmly
and dispassionately, giving facts and fig
ures and reasons for its advocacy OF Repub-
lican principles and earnest support OF the
