William Firchum was taken to Har-
risonburg, Va, Saturday aud confined
in jail, charged with numbering his
brother, Preston Finchum, near Elkton
Station, Shenandoah Valley Railroad,
Thursday evening. The murder was
cold-blooded and deliberate. The evil
dence against Finchum is very strong.
The murdered man was shot in the
head, and then his skull was crushed to
pieces with some blunt instrument.
Three murders have been committed
during the past ten years in the same
neighborhood. Finchum had to be
moved from the neighborhood Friday
night for fear Of lynching.

LAST Friday Senator Kenna, Of this
State, made speech in defense of the
Presidents power to make removals and
to withhold papers in such cases. Mr..
Kenna spoke in reply to Senator Ed
munds, and the way he answered some
of the arguments of that ancient and
vinegar.like statesman was intensely
interesting. He raked the Vermont
Senator over the Goals in lively man
ner, and an already bad temper is doubt
less worse than ever. Mr.. Kenna's
speech was forcible, courageous and
well-prepared one, and is spoken ofin
the most complimentary way by the
press Of the country.

STRIKES throughout the country are
beginning to have serious effect on
business. On the Missouri and Pacific
Railroad there is complete blockade
of all freight business, without any in
dication of a change. The soft coal
miners of West Virginia, Maryland and
Pennsylvania are nearly all on strike.
and this, of course, makes correspond
ing reduction in railroad business. The
state of affairs between labor and CAPT.
tai is at a critical point, and capitalists
can no longer ignore the demands Of
employees. 1t takes long time to learn
1t, put the great corporations must
bend-or they will break.

The popularity of Sam Jones as a
gospel boomer is fast petering out and
he is getting ready to crawl back to the
solitude of his native Georgia jungle,
Sam, however, is no fool. While he
accepts the biblical assurance that the
Lord will provide, he has kept his own
eye leveled on the main chance, and
has succeeded in feathering his own nest
in very satisfactory manner. His
home in Georgia has been improved.
He has built himself fine house, and
purchased fine horses aud a carriage,
md surrounded with other comforts.
He it is said, sends his money as fast as
he makes it to his wife, and she sees
that it is placed where thieves can not
break through and steal. Instead of
devoting himself exclusively to laying
up treasures above, and preaching
merely for the salvation of souls, it is
evident that an element of business en-
tiers into Mr.. Jones' operations for
which no one can blame him, but which
leads thoughtful person to believe
that his sky plotting is not altogether
unseltish.-Daily States.
