THE QUESTION BOX

At $3.50 the convention went into draw
inc questions, asking what is the best
method Of surrounding certain obstacles
in the way of Sunday-school advance
ment. A good deal Of discussion arose
as to whether a sunday school in the
county should be closed during the win
ter season. Mr.. Reynolds said that he
did not think any good Sunday school
would close on account of winter weather
The question then arose as to how about
the large Northern schools that close in
the hot weather Of the summer and then
meet in convention and admonish the
Southern schools for closing in winter.

TaE RELATIONS OF THE SUNDAY.

Professor Charles II. Winston of Rich
mond College, made the opening address
on this subject He said that these
two subjects, the Sunday-school aud the
home are among the greatest and most
potent that could be mentiOned that he
did not think there was any country In
which there were more homes in proper
ton to the population than there are in
Virginia Then the home should not
antagonize the school, aud the school
ought not TO antagonize the homes, but
thew should be regarded as being
harmony with each other II it came TO
question OF rivalry or substitution.

! WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-Land Commits
sioner Croft rendered a decision in the
case of Major Barr, formerly a Wasson
resident of the Mitchell, OAK, land dis
trict. 1t appears from the testimony that
in July, 1885. Mrs. Barr. then resident Of
Iowa, went to Dakota on visit to friend,
and while there was informed that GER
tain eighty acres adjoining tract then
recently entered by Michael Barr, was
subject to homestead entry, She accord
ingly entered it, purchased small house
and had it moved on her claim; broke one
acre, and made other improvements at that
time. She says in testim0nyss she had no
intention of marrying Barr, but later they
married. "when they moved their houses
up close together on the line and sOdded
them all around on the outside, making
one house; that Barr put his bed, stove,
stove, table, etc.. in hers: that there was
no means of communication between the
two. except BY going outside, each part
having an outside door; that she acted in
good faith in making the entry, not know
ing Michael Barr at the time ana having
no understanding that it was to be kept in
the Barr family; that she complied with the

year; of tobacco SO.7, against S5.7 in 1888.
A preliminary estimate of the yield per
acre is 1913 for wheat; l1.9 for rye, and 22.2
for barley. The returns of the yield per
acre of wheat are in thresher measure

Four Brothers Terrorize Community
and Defy Arrest.
COLUMBUS, O., Oct. 14-Frank Hessler
and his three brothers, members of the
family which has long been the terror of
its neighhorhood, entered Westerville, a
few miles from here, Saturday night, got
drunk and assaulted Mayor 81. P. Andrews,
whom Frank Hessler knocked down. Then
the crowd defed arrest. A posse was
sworn in and pursued the brothers to their
home. The drunken men opened fire on
the posse. About thirty shots were fired.
Marshal j. w. Oyler was shot in the
shoulder and will die from the wound.
The entire load Of shot lodged in his per-
son and at such range that clothing was
carried into the wound One OF the depu-
ties was Shot through the hat and another
through the sleeve Of his coat. Frank
Hessler received three or four wounds. He
escaped to Galena where he had his
wounds dressed. They are pronounced
dangerous. 1t is thought one of the Hess
lers was killed, as he cannot be found.
Warrants were sworn out yesterday charg-
ing the Hesslers with shooting to kill,
and stronger posse went after them. Last
night old man Hessler and two young men
named Moore were arrested. 1t is sup
posed they had something to do with the
assault. The town is greatly excited.

LONDON. Oct. 14.-The scenes in the
! court room at Dumfries today, when the
jury in the case 1T the Earl Of Galloway
charged with indecent behavior towards
girls Of tender years brought in u verdict
of acquittal, was one rarely witnessed in a
criminal court Of this city. The gailt Of,
the accused seemed SO clearly es-
tablished, even ty such evidence as was
allowed to filter through the objections Of
six eminent counsel for the defense, that
those present, of whom were friends and
relatives Of the little girls the aged noble
man was charged with abusing, took no
pains to conceal their disgust at the YER
dict. The announcement Of the verdict
was the signal for loud expressions of dis
approval from the spectators, and the
froWns and threats Of the presid-
ing judge was of no avail
uttered by a dozen indi gnant persons
In London the news of the verdict is re-
ceived with great indignation among the
common people and it is pointed out that
ilad the accused been anything but great
nobleman the evidence brought out would
have been sufficient to convict him dozen
times time over. The Marquis Of Salisbury,
who manifested great interest in the case
ever since the charges were first brought,
hurried to London this morning so as to
receive the earliest news Of the result of
the trial. When informed that Galloway
had been acquitted, he received the news
with every evidence of satisfaction. The
Earps best friends scarcely hoped for

them QUi e as much as il OItragpd the
