Six Candidates in the Field.

Richmond, Va, Correspondence Baltimore sun
You know there are six candidates
for the nomination for governor in sight;
how many more may be brought forward re-
mains to be developed. There are as many
candidates for attorney general and several for
lieutenant governor. Counting up the strength
of the different aspirants for governor the
STATE, in its Saturday evening issue, makes its
estimate to date as. follows: "Beirne, 479: Nc
Kinney, 46l; O'Ferrall, 1872; venable, 81; Tyler.
"a; Harris, 81, with fifty Of the delegates
elected doubtful"
The only one of the aspirants for the governor
ship in the city up to Sunday is Mr. Beirne. who
lives at Ashland, and whose paper publishes
this estimate, and it may therefore be taken as
his. He is exceptional for virginian in being
neither captain nor major, nor colonel, nor
general, nor judge. He was too young to be

age-tan, with good presence, thick, curly
black hair. and has the reputation of being a
rousing stump speaker. He shot the WING
editor Elan in duel in 1882, which ought to
be forgotten and forgiven, as we are Christians
and his disabilities have been removed legally.
Mr. Beirne says he is confident the prohlbi-
tionists, protectionists and tariff reformers who
are primarily democrats in politics will unite
to maintain the rule OF intelligence and hon
ssty Of government in Virginia.

The CoroneEs Jury Exonerates His
Companion From Blame.

Coroner Patterson summoned Jury at the
second precinct station yesterday morning to
investigate the circumstances of the death of
Samuel Huntress, who was killed in Blagdens
alley, in rear of his home, Friday afternoon.
The witnesses of the affair testified to the kill
ing as published in Saturdays STAR Huntress,
the coal oil dealer, and James Combs, who was
in his employ, were both intoxicated, the wit
nesses said. when they entered the alley. 1t
was almost impossible for the witnesses to tell
who was driving the wagon in which they were
seated. The men were pulling at each other
and Combs fell from the seat into the wagon
just moment before the vehicle upset. The
deputy coroner, DIR. Schaeffer. was of the opin-
ion that Huntress' death resulted from the eff
fects Of the fall from the wagon The Jury
failed to find any testimony showing that
Combs was IN any manner responsible for the
accident and he was discharged from custody.
