of to l refused new trial to Cluverius
the convicted murderer of Lillian Madison.
Counsel for the prisoner then moved for a
rehearing, and the Court will consider the
matter September 10th at Staunton. The
motion seems but a formality and to defer
execution. After the 10th of September
Cluverius may be reduced to single hope,

A colored man named Bowen has been
arrested as the murderer of Frank HeatwOe
at Riverside Tannery, near Romney. The
circumstantial evidence against him is as
follows:
Evidence was conclusive that an octa-
room named Bowen had been seen at mid
night in the neighborhOod of hisinamorata;
that at the time he wore No. II gum boots;
that a No. IL gum boot fitted the track
where the assassin alighted when he leaped
over the fence; the gun was used as walk
iug-stick by the murderer, and Bowen's
gunstock fitted the impression thus made
in the ground. Bowen was summoned as
witness. He said he owned double bar
relied gun; always loaded it with patent
pasteboard wads was not now loaded had
drawn one load made his own shot; had
several in his pocket and exhibited them
wore gum boots Thursday night; left them
at home; were there now. Jury sent for
gun and boots; gun found; boots not found,
but smell of burnt gum in stove Gun
brought to jury room; one barrel empty
ramrod reached wad in other barrel, but too
short to draw it; another ramrod brought
in and a charge of powder covered with pa
per wadding drawn. The shot or slugs
were not the buckshOt of commerce, but
were homemade, and so were the shot TAX
en- from the dead body. Bowen now be-
came confused and ceased to talk"

General Master Workman Powderly Wig
orously denounces the Chicago anarchists
and their desperate work. In the course of
a recent interview he said "The scenes of
boodshed and disorder which have occur
red in Chicago are disgraceful, uncalled for
and deserving of the severest condemnation
and punishment Honest labor is not rep
resented in the ranks of those who array
themselves under the red flag of anarchy,
which is the emblem of blood and destruc-
ton" He added that it is the duty of ev-
cry organization of workingmen in Amer
ca to condemn the outrages committed in
Chicago in the name of labor, and said the
workingmen have a more powerful weapon
than the bullet in the ballot.

The adoption of Mr.. Camden's amend

The adoption of Mr.. Camden's amend
ment to the Interstate Commerce bill, says
the Baltimore Sun, providing in effect that
more shall not be charged by railroads en-
gagged in interstate commerce for a short
haul than for longer one, is an event of
the first importance in our legislative annals,
should it indicate, as it appears to do, that
the Senate is at length about to attempt to
correct some of the railroad evils it has so
long been defending. Senator Camden's
amendment is in the interest of the people
as against greedy corporations, and in the
interest of each individual village, town and
city throughout the Union, as against three
or four ''chief competitive" or terminal
cities, that are at present, by unfair discrim-
nations in their favor, absorbing the indus
tries, brains and profits of the country.
