that certain parties, taking advantage
OF the apathy, were intending to cap
ture the election by manfesting indiffer-

divulging of the plan defeated the
project, only one of them getting into
the box. There was the usual amount
of scratching, there being only two or

Admiral S. S. Lee, and brother of Gov
ernor Fitzhugh Lee of Virginia, died
suddenly in Washington on Sunday,

home in Stafford county on business.
At the breaking out of the war he left
the merchant service to enter the Con-
federate navy. He was captured at
the fall of New Orleans, paroled, and
afterwards exchanged, served on the
gnnboats at Savannah, and participa-
ted in several successful boat expedi-
tons on the Chesapeake bay. In 1868
he was sent to London as naval attache
and secretary to Hon. James Mason,
and from there ordered to the Confede-
rate States steamer RaDpahanock, lying
in the port of Calls, France. Later on,
Captain Lee was sent to the Confede-
rate States steamer Georgia, another
cruiser. and finally transferred to the
Shenandoah, in which vessal he served
as lieutenant throughout her entire
cruise. After the war he settled upon
a sheep rancho in South America with
several other ferlow officers. but event
nallv returned to Baltimore, where for
a time he commanded the steamer

popular and highly esteemed for his
sterling qualities. He had many warm
friends in Baltimore, and was related to
