THE VIRGINIA FREE pREss--rHE OLD FAM
DE4THsOF PORTE GRAFTON


The death of General d. II. STRoTHER
occurred, from pneumonia. at this place, on
Thursday last, the Sth instant. Although
the leading facts of his life are set forth in
the announcement Of his death by the Bal
timore Sua, which We have copied, We are
unwilling, as we knew him so well, to pass
By this sad event without some special men
ton.
A part of his life, and that which is best
known. was devoted to literature, through
which by pen and pencil, he presented some
charming pictures of the natural beauties
of his native State and, with great fidelity
to truth, made known, to a wide circle Of
delighted readers, the happy, hospitable So
cial customs and habits of thought of her
noble people. Originally contributed seri-
ally to Hnper's Magazine, under the name
Of" Virginia Illustrated these efforts gave
great popularity to that publication; and
such was the demand for them that they
were subsequently, collected in book form
which passed through several editions.
We are quite sure that a feeling of sorrow
will be experienced by many household
IN which more than one generation have
enjoyed the pleasure which this genial pro-
duciion, the offspring Of man Of genius,
never failed TO afford.

they fought. Numerous colored inhabitants
of the nelghborhood, who had turned out to
see the immense colored procession. also
fell to aud assisted the colored paraders.

hand fights were everywhere. Store win
dows were smashed and women ran into
every available place of shelter.

Several shots were fired. The patrolmen
were driven off the avenue and fastened to
the Thrtieth street police station.
The stores were all closed between
Twenty sixth and Thirtieth streets, and
shcp keepers with drawn revolvers pro
tee ed their property as best they could.
The drug store of NJ. Stein. at No. 446
Sixth avenue, was at once filled with a
crowd of frightened women, who rushed in

forcing back Mr.. Stein. With great
effort and revolver i'll hand, he at length
closed his doors.

Thomas Murphy was found stabbed in
the back.

Reilly sent reserve force of seventy-fve
men on the scene. The latter at once pro
ceeded TO clear the avenue, and met with
little opposition, as majority OF the
rioters after the first clash of arms mingled
with the sightseers in the side streets.

There were fully fifty people injured in
one way and another Mt the riot

A JUROR SENT TO PRISON
HE MUST STAY THERE 20 DAYS
AND PAYA FINE OF 5000.

The Unlucky Individual One of the
Twelve no Were Burned in
Efigy at Atlanta-How he Got on
the Panel a Mystery Not Apt to be
Explained
ATLANTA. GA, Oct 3l.-F. S. Albritton.
one of the Eddleman jurors, and the last
man to qualify on the jury selected to try
George H. Eddleman, was tried before
Judge Richard II. Clark to-day and found
guilty of contempt of court. Judge Clark
imposed a fine of 300, and in addition SEN
fenced Albritton to serve term Of twenty
days in jail.
Judge Clark in imposing the penalty said
that he regretted that the law would not
allow him TO go further, as it would give
him infinite pleasure to send Albritton to
thu penitentiary, where he righfully
belongs.
ALBRITToN's oFFENsE.
Albritton is the man who managed to get
on the Jury in some urexplainable manner
All of the bailiffs who attended the trial
swOre at the Investigation to-day that none
of them had subppnaed Albritton, and as
lie had served on the jury the week pre-
vious he could not have been drawn again
In some way his name got on the list of
luTOTS drawn lIOlH Uut OOA, anu OclOI y tLIS
mad been discovered Abortion had
qualified. Several witnesses testi-
fed to seeing his name on the list;
but no one could tell how IL got there.
Another fact il connection with this matter
is that the list disappeared within two
minutes, according to the testimony of one
witness, after the jury had been made up.
A QUESTION OF vERACITY.
As soon as the jurymen took their seats in
the box the fact that Albritt0n was on it was
discovered by Special Bailiff Monagan, and
when he went to lCok for the list he found
that it had disappeared and no one seemed
to know where 1t had gone to.
Clerk Myers testified that he handed the
list to James Mavson, one of the defendants
attorneys, and Mr.. Mayson swears that he
handed it back to Myers; and that's how
the thing goes.
ALBRITToN's STATEMENT.
Albritton, in making his statement, adj
mitted having served on a jury the week
previous. AS to his serving on the Eddel
mau jury, he says that when he was served
case he was standing near the
artesian well, and that a young man
came up, and after asking his name, handed
him the subpoena. He stated that he did
not know the name of the young man and
could not identify him. Upon getting his
subpoena he reported to Deputy Sheriff
Green and had his name entered on the list
as having been notified to serve.
OTHERS IMPLICATED.
Judge Clark indicated in his remarks that
in his opinion Albrittons statement was
rather transparent, and in addition he said
that he felt satisfied that there were other
parties connected with the fraud that AL
britton had perpetrated upon the state. He
regretted that he could not locate Albrit-
tons accomplices, as it would give him in
finite pleasure to pass sentence upon them.
Several others of the packed jury will be
punished. 1t is stated that Solicitor Hill
will present Albritton to the grand jury on
the charge of perjury
