"On Tuesday of last week w. II. DAVIS. a
boy twelve years old and nephew of Mr..

observing she carried her hand in sling he
inquired what was the matter and was told
by the old lady that .Leaman, son of Mr..
Scott, bad struck her with stick. The boy
upbraided his cousin Leaman for bis msbe-
hayior and the two quarrelled. Leaman,
who is only ten years DID, said if William
did not leave the place he would shoot him.
He went up stairs. brought down the gun,
put cap on it and taking good aim he lev
eled it at William who had become fright
ened and started to run when, Leaman
pulled the trigger and the load was dis-
charged in the back of Williams head.
William lived for four or five days and
died. On Monday last Leaman was brought
to Warrenton by an officer unaccompanied
by either parent, his mother being made
seriously i'll by the occurrence and his faith

man was bailed in tho sum of one hundred
dollars to appear at the next term of the

is that he thought the gun was unloaded
and he only meant 10 snap the cap at Will

War against Eon-Unionists.

CHICAGO, July 1t is claimed that the
war against the non union carpenters is to
60 on. Failure to drive the ten-hour men
from work has not discouraged the adher.
ents of the eight, hour movement, who, ia
the words of one of their members, have de.
cided to persuade, drive away, or KILL"
the non unionists. From careful estimates
in the hands of tho carpenters union it is
believed that not over two hundred non
unionists are employed in Chicago. To
drive these into the unions or out of the
city the other 5000 carpenters have con-
spired. TO this end The walking delegates
of all the carpenters unions, aud Of all
branch unions have been told to engage all
men who will agree to obey them in their
efforts to harass the non uGiouists. The
delegates are empowered to pay fines, to
employ counsel and to intercede with the
Mayor for pardon should the arrest of any
take them so far a. the Brdewell. During
the prosecution oftheir work or during their
incarceration, if arrested, the members of
the union are to receive their per diem. In
Chicago The painters, plumbers, brick-lay-
era, ana s.nue cutters have been successful
in their movement for eight hours. These
trades earn good wages-$3 so and 81 per
| day-and have the richest treasury Of any
of the open unions. They have gono far
enough towards cnterluH the league to
| r--t,-. .---rIo.U lne war W ue
waged against non-unionism by the carpen-
tiers. 1t is asserted that 100000 will lie
used, i: necessary, 10 drive out the 200 men
who are guilty of working ten hours per
day. The walking delegates boast that they
have no fear of the law, since they have
money enough to pay fines and influence
enough to secure pardons should imprjson-
ment be added to the fine. The non-union-
lists, wherever found in the city, expressed
their firm determination to work Just as
long for days wages as they wish. Since
Tuesdays trouble the majority Of them have
armed themselves and say that trouble will
surely cnsue if they meet with any moro in
reference.

a CURIOUS CAsE.-Tho students Of the
Hospital Of Oral Surgery, al Tenth and Arch
streets, Philadelphia, were shown patient
whose throat had been cut from car to car
and who had been hung by the neck, but
still survived his injuries. He breathes
through aslver tube in his throat, and for
SIX months was nourished entirely by
enemata. The mans name was Simon La
denski, native of Roumania In the win
ter OF 1877, he then being twenty. three
years old, Ladenski was one of party of
ten men whose throats were cut by q band
Of ginsy robbers on the road from Earsloe.
Ladenski was not killed, and on regaining
consciousness, and finding the robbers quar-
reling over the division Of the plumber, he
attempted TO crawl into some bushes by the
wayside. Being detected, lie was strung
up TO tree by the neck, and when again
unconscious he was let down and thrown
among the bodies of his companions, but not
until lie had been stabbed in the abdo-
men and cut in the neck. Two days later
the bodies were, found by Professor Russ, Of
were still alive, were removed to town. The
latter soon died, and then Prof. Russ re-
moved his patient TO Vienna. There La
denski was placed under the care Of the
most eminent Austrian surgeons. 1t was
found that tho windpipe was unable to ut
ter word. He breathed through an open.
ing in the neck. After many efforts, large
threaded needle was passed up through the
trachea and into the mouth Small beads
were then drawn through, being daily in
creased in size in order to effect q perma-
nent enlargement of the obstruction. The
man is still obliged to practice this device
and wears the instrument in his windpipe
during the night being able to breathe |
when in an upright position without its aid. !
He has been examined by the leading sur
geons of Berlin, Paris and London, and it is
that some day it will be possible |
to close up the opening in the throat.

THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 1.

So FAR as heard from there is only one
indenendent democratic candidate for Con-
eress in this State, the one In the TIN dis'
trict. and it is hoped he will follow the wise
example of Maj. Smith, in this district, and
speedily withdraw. The contest next fall
should he fair and square one between
the democrats and the Mahoneites-the lat
ter having with remarkable assurance taken
entire control of the republican organiza'
ton, utterly ignoring the old republican
leaders in the State, though obeying every
order of those in the North. The demo-
cratic party is now, as it always has been'
the national party of the country, while the
republican, the ally of the Mahoneltes ana
descendant of the know nothing party, is as
sectional now, and as bitter and malignant,
as it ever was, as is proved by the present
debates in Congress and by the speech re-
republican Congressman made here on last
Decoration Day. Between two such parties
the one desiring the complete and perfect re-
storaton of the amicable feelings that should
subsist between fellow citizens of common
country, and the other still harping on the
civil war, and striving to perpetuate its AMI
notwithstanding out of view the unjust, un'
equal, partial and un-American measures
adopted and maintained by the latter-but
few VirginiaDs will hesitate how to vote
Because an administration elected by dem
ocrats has proved disappointment, and be-
cause some democratic Congressman have
not fulfilled expectations, are no reasons
why Virginia democrat, or any Virglnian
who has the best interests of his country
his State ard himself at heart, should DC
any thing that will tend to elect General
Mahone's Congressional candidates, who' Il
elected, will assist thsir republican col
leagues in their support OF all the objection
able measures referred to, and vote
as General Mahone did, to prevent tho
repeal of the statute prohibiting ex-Confed
