IS TRoUBLE.-A woman came in Of
the Frisco road last Sunday whose bur.
den of misery seemed all she could
bear. She had with her a babe and al
so a little girl SIX or seven years Of age.
As told to Doc Allen Of the Travellers
home, where the woman stopped, her
story was about thus: She and her hus-
band, NJ. L, Hutchins, lived fourteen
miles east of Fayetteville, on White
river. Her husband treated her very
brutally aud had a number of times
tried to kill her. Finally she left and at
Pidkins station took the cars, intend
ing to 10 to her fathers in Texas. The
namo ef the town she had forgotten
but thought it was Aurora. She got
aboard the first Texas train, her main
idea being to put as many miles as
possible between her and the husband
who she felt sure would take her life il
he could.

Charged with ROhhIng the Mail.

LYNCHDURG, VA, June Is
Mr.. George A. Kinnear, an old and
prominent citizen of Lynchburg,
was before United States Commits.
sioner Tinsley today, charged with
robbing the mails. He waived an
examination and was sent on TO the
grand jury, which meets here Sep.
TENDER 81, giving bail in the penal
ty of $4,000. Capt. KlDnear was
arrested at the instance of United
States Postal Inspectors VIM. b..
Smith and ThOs. Troy, who have
been working up the case since
May %. The inspectors mailed
several deoOy letters containing
marked money, and they claim to
have positive evidence IF Kinnelr
having ri1ed one Of these letters.
The arrest has created a decided
sensation, as the accused party is
one of the most prominent and
popular citizens of the town, hav.
ing a wide and wealthy connection.
He has been for q number of years
a member OF the city council, al
ways receiving the highest vote at
every election. For some years he
has not been in atlluent circum.
stances, and last year he was made
transfer postal agent at this point
with small salary. Great sym.
patty is felt for the accused man,
and the popular Judgment seems
to he that he has lost his reason if
the oitense is really as the inspec.
tors charge Capt, Klnnear pro.
tested his innocence, and has EN-.
ployed counsel to defend him in
court, The accused is a brother of
Rev. John Kinnear, d. d., until re.

The action of the present Con
gress with reference to the internal
revenue system and to the BlaiI
bill furnishes another Of many
notable examples of the difference
between the profession and the
practice of a certain class of pol
iticians who Just now grieyOusly
aiflict this country.
1t is not possible that any OF our
readers have forgotten how few
years ago the politicians referred
to howled with Indignation, and
narrowed up the feelings of their
constituents with the steTe)typed
Outcry against the outrages and
enOrmities Of what they were
pleased to call the "infernal" rev.
enue system of the government. TO
have listened then to their out
bursts of righteous Indignation
when, appealing for the suilrages
Of the people, they inveighed
against the system, one would have
supposed that their first and per.
sistent effort, If elected, was to be
directed to it's repeal.
And so, also, in regard to the
Blair bill. Seeing that the people
were clamCring for its passage, they
were profuse in their professions of
loyalty to the measure, and OF
promises to secure its passage.
Elected, however, and both of these
important matteTs are forgotten,
and their promises are remembered
only by the people 10 whom they
were made.
1t is now fOregone conclusion
that neither of these matters is to
receive the serious consideration of
Congress. 1t remains TO be seen
whether representatives who de.
sire reelection will have the cheek.
after boiling their peace in Con.
gress, 10 again advocate these
measures before their constituents.

Two Sons.

During the campaign in Georgia
| met an old gentleman who at the
outbreak of the war was one of the
bitterest rebels of the section. lie
is unrecOnstructed even now, He
had two sons. one Of whom was AT
school in a Northern military in.
stitute, and the other in a similar
school in Virginia. When the news
came that Sumter had been fired
upon and that hOstilities had &C.
tually begun, he made n speech in
which he said that he was too old
to go to war himself, but that he
would give both of his sons to de-
fend his native state. He sent for
his sons to come home. Much to
his chagiin and rage, he found that
one had entered the Union army.
The old man in public formally re-
nounced him and pronounced his
curse upon him. Both sons were
killed in the war, and both wore
buried upon the battlefield. A
short time ago the old gentleman
made q trip North and came back
with the remains. lie buried them
side by side In the family lot and
erected a shaft. When the mOnu~
ment was unveiled thousands of
people came to see the inscription.
The shaft was of the purest white

Senator Riddleberger deserves
the thanks of the people for his
persistent and courageous efforts to
break mp the anti-republican secret
session business of the Senate. II
is unsuited to a free country, and
is copied from monarchy and its
methods. The only secret sessions
allowable in the Senate are those
in which foreign affairs may be dis
cussed, but in common cases where
the American people exclusively
are concerned, the American peo-
pie are entitled to- know what is
being said and done by the men
who are their servants, but who
only seem to be aware of that fact
periodically when they are apply
ing for the positions which they
afterwards treat as individual prop
erty. The nominations of the
President should be discussed in
open day, and We hope Mr.. Riddle
berger who seems to be the only
Senator that thinks the rights of
the people worth making a fight
for, will not 'scontinue his efforts.

Mr.. Cbas. T. Butcher, of Warren
county, lately President of a Wash

announced his intention of running
for Congress in this (7th) district
as an independent candidate. He
recently graduated in the law class
OF Columbia College, with the
highest hOnors, and is said to be a
young man of brilliant talent. His
platform will be; The Blair Bill (;
Repeal of the Internal Revenue
Laws; opposition to the Civil
Service law and thu Cleveland ad.
ministration ; in favor of the Labor
interests of the country; against
Free Trade and in favor of PrOtec.
ton, and against the Mccormick
Anderson Electoral bill, as a de-
vice to corrupt the ballot box, and
cheat the people out of their rights.
Mr.. Butcher was a delegate from
the District of Columbia to the
last Democratic National COnven-
ton, and as chairman Of a Demo.
cractic Club raised $4,000 to aid
in the election of Cleveland. He
is spoken of as a fine speaker and
an aggressive campaigner.

the advancement the courageous
little statesman from the Old DO.
mInlon has made. General Malone
had on his summer suit. 1t was
composed Of a finely woven, broad
brimmed Panama hat, bleached to
a perfect whlteness, and so delicate
that it was IN no shape, being cock
ed up high on one side and pulled
down low on the other. His shirt
was linen throughout, and his col.
lar two ply and a portion Of the
full garment. 1t stood up in limp
folds. His tie was black and loose
~ put together. Hrs coat was of
the lighteSt weight broadcloth, cut
very low in front; vest, black grOs
grain silk, three buttons; panta-
looms, fine black and white stripes,
pnckered at The waist like a lady's
bonnet, large and baggy at the
knees, and coming to a point so
small at the feet that they would
not slip over the heels Of bis shoes.
General Mahone's hair is longer
than it ever has been, hanging in
great folds, almost white, across
his shoulders, while his beard has
