A SINGULAR SUICIDE.
Anna Curtis Leaves Church and Plunges
Into Well.


Into Well
A letter received at Charlotte
brings the particulars OF most re-
markable occurrence in Grayson
county, Va, just across the line. Miss
Anna Curtis committed suicide under
rather remarkable circumstances as
well as in remarkable manner. For
several days she had been attending
prayer meetings in the neighborhood.
Much local interest had been aroused
by the meetings, and many souls were
being regenerated and their feet placed
in the path of the righteous and good.
At several recent services Miss Amia
went forward and knelt as penitent at
the mourner's bench. The young lady
wept and cried very bitterly, and the
congregation made special prayer for
her deliverance,b but all seemed to avail
nothing. At every service Miss Amia
would occupy her accustomed seat at
the mourner's bench with weeping
eyes and troubled soul. Last Sum
day morning. the young lady arose as
the services were about to commence,
and said she hoped all would pray for
her, as she could not stand any longer
the burden of sin which she was car
rying on her soul. The congregation
prayed for her and the preacher tried
to speak words of comfort to her, but
still the burden was not moved. The
poor girl prayed and sobbed aloud.
The meetings were held in an old
school house building, and in the yard
was we'll forty-five feet deep. While
the congregation was sing ing hymn
Miss Annie quietly arose from her seat
and leaving the building went quickly
to the we'll and began to climb upon
the cover. This alarmed some of the
congregation who were watching her
movements and they rushed out to-
wards her, but before they could reach
her she gave cry, "You needn't pray
any more and plunged into the we'll.
With terrible splash the body of
the unfortunate young lady struck the
water forty-five feet below. Three
women tainted and dozen others had
to be carried home. Miss Curtis was
eighteen years old, of excellent par
ents, and there was no blotch on her
character.

obliged to call upon an old darkey to
open court. It was evidently the first
time that the darkey had acted in the
capacity of bailif. He began:
"Oh yes! oh yes! De hono'ble de
Cot is now on de bench"
Then, after hesitating moment, A.
if not knowing what to say, he SEEM
ed to hit it, and ended by exclaiming:
can may the Lawd have mercy on
his SOUL"
And then it was, according to Sena-
tor Vance, that ode honoble Coz
rose to the occasion and promptly re-
marked:

A TOBACCO COMBINE.

It has been the talk of the street in
Winston this week that a New York
syndicate, with plenty of capital, had
made propositions to five of the largest
plug tobs eco manufacturers of Win
ston, Offering to pay them fair price
for their buildings, machinery, &C.,
and $25, 900 each for their brands and
good will.
Upon examination, we find that the
rumor has good foundation. PROPOSE
tions and counter propositions have
been made and there are two chances
to one that deal will be made.
Willie The SENTINEL is always
glad to welcome new men and addi-
tional capital to this town, it believes
that the sale of five of the largest fac
tories here to this syndicate will deal
. death blow to Winston's prosper
ity.

what will follow? 1t will be the same

Especial Correspondence to the Sentinel
EDITOR SENTINEL:-Some time ago
the people of the State were shocked
and surprised to read that DIR. Shear
er, of Davidson College, had publicly
announced his opposition to public
schools and his belief in parochial
schools alone.
at once addressed letter to the
President, and in his reply he states
that he was discussing higher educa-
ton only, and that he was misrepre-
sented. To use his own words, in
speaking of the report, at says I de
nounced the common school system of
the country when I did not refer to it
once. I am glad to take this oppor-
tunity to correct the report, as it is
too late in the 10Th century to oppose
public schools"
Yours very truly,

The Kentucky Senatorship.

The latest developments in the Kentucky
senatorial contest indicate that i. is Proctor
Knott against the field. 1t is aaid Knott
will have the support of the western section
OF the State, while Carlise, Lindsay and
McCreary represent the central and eastern
portions. Buckner is a possibility only in
case of deadlock. Lindsay has unexpec,-
eddy fallen to fourth place.
Another Development ia that all the can
didates except Knott are combined against
Carlisle, and the result will be O political
feud which will effect Kentucky politics for
years to come.
The caucus is CALLED for tc-oight. There
will be 1l6 votes, SO necessary 10 choice.
A shrewd party man estimates that on the
first ballot, Carlisle will have 81 McCreary
IS; Knott, 30; Lindsay, H. McCresry's
vote will never go to Carlisle, neither will
Lindsay's but Knott's would If necessary.
Another dispatch from Frank fort says !:
"Mr. Carlisles friends are aggressive, and
want to push the contest to conclusion the
fist night They hardly hope their chief can
be stronger by long. waiting fight. On
the other hand. all the others beiieve they
will be able to prevent nomination at once.
All agree that the ex-Spesker will have
big lead on the Erst ballot.

Hon. W. n F. Lee, M. C..

Though having but slight acquaintance
with General Lee, and being q citizen snt
voter of another State, l cannot refrain
from expressing through your columns my
opinion, founded on close observation, of his
usefulness as a member of Congress to his
constituency and his State.
General Lee. with military precision and
a conscientious sense of duty, Is one OF the
most attentive men to his Congressional du-
ties / have ever known, and / have had
considerable experience in business with
both Houses and their committees He
never neglects his duties, and Is one OF the
most painstaking and diiigent members.
To have representative of this character
is worth q great deal to his people, for when
ne advocates or introduces q measure both
sides of the Hou7e take it for granted that
it is all right, no Job" in 1t, or he would
not have anything to do with it. Character
i5 worth great deal on the floor of the
House. as everywhere else, and General
Lee has the respect and regard OF his po-
itical opponents, as we'll IS of the members
of his own party. In fact, his genial nature
and kindly heart disarms political aeperity,
and republicans and democrats recognize in
him very high type of the genus gentle
man. From education and by nature be is
gifted with admirable tact; the well bred
tact of man of kindly heart and feelings,
and like all brave men, he ia polite man.
From the force of these traits and characterist
les in General Loo, do not believe that there is
to day moro Influential and popular member in
the House than he is-one who by his character
and ability can effect moro for his constituency
and his party.
His ability ard talent gro recognized. These
arc inherited. While unpretentious and modest,
like all men of real merit, no one can meet him
without feeling that he is no unworthy son of an
illustrious father, and that he can hold his own
in the Senate as in the field. Not since the war
has Virginia had more faithful, useful and able
representative. j.

The committee on itinersncy reported &C,
versely on the memorial to change the resc'
luton that travelling preachers might be or
dained after two years probation instead q
three years as at present. The report wss
adopted.
The standing Committee on Missons re
ported adversely on the memorial from Vir
ginia to SD amend the constitution of the
Board of Missions as to provide for sustet
tation fund. The ground CT the adverse re-
port was that the object Of the memorial had
been accomplished
Judge Fact, of Tennessee, introduced a
resolution ooudemning the traffic in and
use of liquors and holding that legal prchi
bition Is the duty of the Government.
Dr.. Whitehead, of Virginia, opposed the
resolution. He said II do not believe that
as church We have the right to make any
utterance on TIE subject" The resolution
was referred to the committee on Temper
ance.

Of Sunday mails was referred to the Commit =

before the Council except the "coiored question,

color ed ministers f the legislative body of the

a seat in the same, WAS confcsscaly imperfect and
another smendu cnt was immediately offered to
perfect its provisions. This will be pressed to its
final passage at the approaching Council bat will
probably occasion no ds.a,e The fundamental
question is settled aud the pending amendment is
u mere matter Of form. 1t is not probable that
this Council will take any action on subjects re-
ferred to the diocoses by the General Convention,
bat may appoint committees on those objects to
report to the next Council 1t is the opinion of
some that matters relating to ritual and ru5rcal
Interpretation may come before the Council in
some shape other. Others, however, think
thst the questions of this nature which have
emerged i'll Virginia OF too trivial q character
to seriously engage tho attention of Council.
The diocese of Virginia seems to be in happy con-
dition of substantial uaity both in doctrine and
worship and what divergences exist are too slight
to cause much strife. Episcopaliaus are looking
forward 10 an effective but uneventful Council.
