Young.

The Ex.vlrRinla Senator Dies Comparatively
Young.
WINCHESTER, Va, Jan. 2h-Ex-Sen-
ator Riddleberger died At $50 o'clock
yesterday morning after long illness.
He was comparatively young man,
having just entered his forty-sixth year.
He was born in Edinburg, Shenandoah
County, Va, October 4, 1874, and re-
ceived his education at the COM
mon school and by private in
struction at home. Despite the fact
of being deprived of the advan-
tages of university his education was
good and thorough. He served three
years on the Confederate side in the late
civil war, and during that time was pro-
NOTED from Second Lieutenant to Cap
tain. His first civil Office was common
wealth's attorney of Shenandoah County,
which he held for two years. He after
ward served four years in the House Of
Delegates and four years in the State
Senate of Virginia.
He was a member of the State commit
tee of the conservative party of his
State until 1875. In 1876 he was Presi-
Democratic ticket and in 1880 he held
the same position on the Readjusters'
ticket. He was elected to the United
States Senate from Virginia in
1881 and took his seat December
8, 1888. His term of office expired
March 3, 1889. Since 1870 he has been
the editor of three newspapers. the
Tenth Legion, the Shenandoah Demo-
crat and the Virginian. His later years
in the United States Senate were marked
by the belief that his colleague, General
Malone. had undermined him and con-
sequently he turned against Malone
and last fall was one of the strongest
opponents of General Malone for Gov
ernor of Virginia, taking the stump
against him and in favor of the Demo-
cratic party.

KILLED IN COURT.

Desperate Shooting Array in . Galveseoa
Court Room-The Affair the Result Of .
Feud il Another County.
GALVESTON, Tex, Jan. 22.-1n the
court house here yesterday Kyle Terry,
nephew of the late Judge David Terry,
OF California, was shot and instantly
killed and two men badly wounded.
The killing was the outcome of the Fort
Bond troubles which resulted some time
ago in bloody battle between the cit
liens Of Richmond.
Some months ago Terry, who was a
tax assessor of Fort Bend County and q
member Of what is known as the Wood
pecker party, had difficulty with the
three Gibson boys, all members of the
Jaybird party. Five weeks later Terry
met one of the Gibson brothers in
Wharton and killed him. When the
case came up for trial Terry got a
change Of venue to Galveston County.
Galveston had nothing to do with tho
case further than to give a fair trial.
Judge Parker, indicted for murder in
Fort Bend County. also secured change
of venue to this county.
The cases were set for yesterday and
witnesses for both the prosecution and
defense had brought to this city a large
number of adherents of both factions
of Fort Bend County. A large special
venire of citizens had been summoned
for jury service in these cases to appear
at the court house at one o'clock. A few
minutes after that hour Kyle Terry, his
brother, Captain David Terry, of Cali
fornia, Judge Parker, Judge Weston and
some others entered the front door Of
the court house.
Terry turned to the left toward the
stairway and had just reached the Sec
ond step when a shot was fired. 1t
struck him under the right arm and
came out of the left breast and literally
tore his heart to pieces.
There was moments lull and then
four or five shots were fired from differ
ent directions. One passed through the
arm of Judge Weston and through the
leg of Henry Pittle, Galvestonian.
Eye witnesses say three men were
shooting-Vol Gibson, who killed Terry
and whose brother Terry had killed in
Wharton, Dan Ragsdale and young
Mitchell, all from Fort Bend County and
all Jsybirds.
Immediately after the shooting six
arrests were made-the I..incipal one
Vol Gibson, who fired the first and only
fatal shot. He is young man about
twenty-five years old and treats the
matter coolly. He was the oldest man
in the attacking party, four of the
others being under twenty-One years Of
age.
1t was evident that the intention was
to kill Weston and Parker as well as
Terry-the two latter because they were
Woodpeckers.
Judge Parker is q member of the
State Legislature from Fort Bend
County and is charged with having been
the cause of the late riot in Richmond.
He is charged with the killing of a negro
woman during the Richmond riot.

Wicked sinners are direct tax upon

A Texas clergyman, who at former
period of his life had gambled alittle,
was absorbed in thought just before di-
vine services began. He was approached

to the opening hymn: ''What shall I
play?" what kind of hand have you
got?' responded the absent-minded
clergyman.

LOT JUMPING.
The Craze at Guthrio-The Military Needed

The Craze at Guthrio-The Military Needed
to Keep Order.
GUTHRIE, Ok, Jan. 25.-The lot Jump
ing craze doomed up all over the city
here yesterday, and, for the first time in
eight months, the assistance of the mill
tary was called to help enforce the laws.
Robert Hamil, who claimed the owner
ship to lot in the heart of the city, was
elected by the authorities. A great
crowd gathered and the soldiers were
called upon to preserve order. The
passage of the Perkins bill has caused a
great deal of uneasiness among the in
nocent purchasers of lots, but they are
willing to wait until the necessary laws
of Congress are passed. The disorderly
element on the other hand are only too
willing to grasp at any thing that comes
along even if it takes mob violence to
get it. Property holds up at very firm
figures.
