A negro boy about eighteen years
old was found in a coal and lumber
yard at Roanoke very badly burned on
his lower limbs. He said he arrived in
this city Saturday night from Pocahon-
tas, on his way to his home in Henry

he concluded to spend the night in the
lumber yard. He climbed over the ten
foot fence around the yard. and select

proceeded TO make himself

veniently placed before him. The night
was very cold, and being very tired no
slept so soundly that his clothing
caught fire and burned him very badly
before he awoke. All day Sunday he
remained IN a semi-nude condition with
only such warmth as the coal and wood
fire gave him. When found he was
nearly chilled to death, and as his con-
dition was very serious one, he was
sent to the almshouse.

NEW ELECTION LAW.

The Legislature that assemblies to-day
will have before it In the course OF its
session many very important measures
for enactment, among which, PROPOSE
tions looking to change in our present
Election law will be very prominent.
The TIMES was, We believe, the hrst
journal in the State to suggest the neces-
sty for some change, and to enforce u
upon the attention OF our people. That
necessity exists 40 much to-day az 1t
did on the 9th Of November last, and 1t
exists not the less because the Demo
cratic party overthrow the Republican
then by so large majority. The cir
cumstancss which led to that over
whelming victory were exceptional
AMI are not likely to rise again In q
generation. Under the very same law
Cleveland S majority was as slender a.
McKinney's was huge.
An election of State officers is very
different thing from national election.
This fact should have its weight in lead
ing our legislators to adopt some plan
that " i'll reduce if not remove the grav-
est evils under which we suffer under
the present electoral system. What is the
most reasonable and practicable law
All or nearly all are agreed upon the
necessity of a new law, but few have
any we'll defined idea as to what the
law shall be.
We are firm in the conviction that
the Australian ballot law in an unmodi-
fed form will not meet the difficulties
of the situation. The greater secrecy
which it insures will not, in our cpin-
ion, have the effect which some antici-
pate of dividingithe negro vote by re-
moving all fear Of social ostracism by
the members Of their own race. We
believe that the governing principle OF
this race in the exercise Of the right of
suffrage will continue to be opposition
to the white people simply because
they are white, that being the logic
of the further separation of the two
peoples now in progress. The Aus
tralian ballot law with notifications in
the nature Of indirect educational quail |
fcations is the only form of that law
that will meet all the requirements.
The utmost caution and prudence, how
ever, should be used in the steps to be
taken in this connection.
We are awaiting with interest the ex-
preston Of views on this subject, which |
Governor Lee will no doubt embody in
his message to be delivered to the Legis-
lature to-day.

Chaplain Milburn.
New York Herald

On the very first day of his Speaker
ship Mr.. Reed had the modification to
see the party discipline broken all to
pieces in the election of the Chaplain of
the House. Mr.. Ramsdell was named
by the Republican caucus, but enough
Republicans bolted the caucus to elect
Mr.. Milburn, the Democratic nominee:
and thus the Speaker will be compelled
for two years to listen to very eloquent
prayers with strong Democratic flavor.
Poor Mr.. Reed has but one comfort-he
is profoundly convinced that Demo
cratic prayers are babitually left unan-
swered in heaven, however it may be in
the House of Representatives.
But this thing of boiling the caucus is
dangerous TO the Republican supre-
macy. If three or four members should
make up their minds to this course as q
rule, Mr.. Reeds new rules would need
some Democratic votes to get passed,
and even after that no man can for
tell at what exlgency the boilers mig Inf
once more bring the caucus decisions to
grief,
However, there may be bolter. from
the Democratic caucus also. 1t is go
ing TO be an interesting session.

these have been the Disadvantages and

or of entirely eliminating fom trade
the element of compe tition.
The suspicion and alarm which have
been engendered by these combinations
nave become so widespread and general
that the expectation is that Congress
will be called upon to take some action
in reference to them. At the first glance

1t is safe to say that everybody on the

the Lehigh boys" was as mad as a

one case motioned to Lehigh man TO
stop smuggling he decided the next instant
that he was innocent OF any offense in

claimed it. The ball was given to Le-
high This led to the belief among the
spectators that any claim made by Lee
high would be allowed by the
most remarkable referee ever seen
IN this latitude, and the crowd
became restive and to de-
gree discourteous. Matters were not
helped by the fact. which leaked out be-
fore the men left the field, that three of
the players on the Lehigh team were
not colleglans. but had been picked up
from the mines or elsewhere for the spe-
cal work Of defeating the Varsity boys.
In spite of these discouraging incidents,
and of having to play against the visit
ing team and the referee. too, the home
team tied the score of the second half.
The Baptist Church tested its new or
