The Washington correspondent Of the
Cleveland Hdin Dealer telegraphs that
Senator Payne refuses to talk about the
Donavin charges. A Star reporter inter-
viewed the Senator about the matter to-
day. The Senator made his appearance
in the door of the lobby. The reporter
asked him II he had anything to say in
regard to Donavin's charges that ST.

Ohio Legislature for their votes.
''I do not care to say anything about
that wretch,n said Senator Payne en-
phatically, while his eyes flashed behind
his gold spectacles.

charges?n

shooting Judge Geo. W. Ward, Jr., edi.
tor Of the Southwestern Virginia) En-
aminer just as Judge Ward was about
stepping upon the porch of the Colon
made hotel. There were present with DR..
White, at the time, two young relatives
Of his, David T. Campbell and N. Ora
ham White. The difficulty grew out Of
some structures made upon White by
Ward, in his paper, because White ran
for the Legislature, as an independent
candidate, after having sought the Demo-
cratic nomination. Judge Ward was
hon ribly shot, and as thought at the time,
fatally. but he recovered. He is, how
ever, badly crippled for life, and will
probably always have to use crutches.
From the nature Of the difficulty and the
prominence Of the parties concerned in
the affair created great excitement and
widespread interest.
At o former term of the county court
of Washington, [ Va, county indictments
were found against DR.. White and the
two young men who were with him. The
court has convened again, and the cases
are for trial. The defendants are to be
tried separately. The case against DR..
White has been taken up. Judge Hol-
brook, Of Wythe county, presiding.
There is q prominent array of counsel on
each side, and the case will be holly con-
tested.
