Siunn XYnIker,s Case.

Mr.. II. A. Cogbill, clerk of the Ches-
terfeld County Court who was in the
city yesterday, informed Dispatch re-
porter that the Sheriff of the county had
not vet received official notice Of the
Governors action in respiting Simon
Walker, the colored youth in the county
jail who was sentenced to be hanged to-
day.
Mr.. Cogbill went to the Capitol and
saw the papers himself, and will inform
the Sheriff that the records show that the
sentence Of the condemned man has
been respited until September 9th, thus
preventing lhe execution which would
otherwise have taken place unless the
official notice was received In time.
When Mr. Cogbll left the Courthouse
yesterday morning the prisoner had not
been informed of Governor Lees elem
ency, the officers thinking that by keep
ing the news from him until this morning
he would realize his true situation and en-
deayor to prepare for death. He was as
cheerful as ever yesterday, and laughing
ly remarked: 81 would like to have
about ten preachers with me to-day"

Raleighs, OF Raleigh, n. g., and the

Up to the fifth inning the contest bid

the VIrginias had it all their way, and
consequently the interest was considera-

and the number of base-hits made 10y

credit of Wynne. the Ra.eighs' pitcher,
but rather an evidence of the fine bat

seen here. The Raleigh club leaves for
