Sad Result of a Fist Fight


On Thursday evening last, w. 7. Tai
iaferro, student at the Virginia Militia
ry Institute, at Lexington. from Glou-
cester county, Va, aged about sixteen
years, and Frank W. McOonnico, Of
Texas, aged about twenty, concluded to
settle difference between them about
drill duty by a regular fist-fght. Each
choose his friends and they repaired to
room on the premises to determine
the difficulty by an old fashioned set-to.
They fought fifteen rounds and both
we're severely punished young Talia-
ferro the most. He was taken to his
room, and after being washed and rub
bed, went to sleep, from which he never
awoke. McConnico was Frustrated from
the effects of the blows received ia
the fight, and was overcome with grief
when he learned of the death of his
antagonist.
1t Is stated that it Is custom among
the cadets to settle personal difficulties
in this way, and that the young men
had no Alternative but to fight it out
Otherwise they would have been the
objects of jeers and sneers. which would
have been very humiliating to take. If
this be the custom at this State Institu-
ton the sooner it is observed in the
perpetual breach the better. McCan-
nioo is not SO much to blame for the
fatal result as those who stood by and
urged them on. The crime is with
them, and not the actors in the conflict.
There ought to be measures adopted by
the authorities to make such TRACE
dies as this impossible; and instead of
prosecuting and Furnishing young Nc
Connioo, those who were parties to the
arrangement and were present on the
occasion, ought to feel the weight of
the law. Neither of the boys had MUIR
depaHs Intent In his mind. They
were conforming to custom and felt
that they would be disgraced if they
did not submit to the unwritten law
among the cadets at the Institution.
1t was a lamentable affair and it's re-
petition ought to be prevented by rigid
measures adopted by the faculty.

The Republicans may with confidence

We have heretofore regarded the result
Of the November elections as doubtful,

will have a good working majority in

Visiting Manufacturers.


Last week number Gf manufact urers
in various lines, from Cincinnati, were
in the city to inform themselves of the
advantages of Staunton, as a place to
remove their plants, or erect new ones.
They were shown around the city by
AZ. Erskine Miller, president of the
Staunton Development Company, John
HcQuaide, of the Executive Committee,
and w. j. Perry, secretary. They were
much pleased with what they saw and
the prospects of the company and the
city.
Staunton il the most desirable loca-
ton in the South for manufactures. 1t
is being talked of all through the West
and North, and it will not be long be-
fore tangible results will be made mani
fest.
The stock of the Development Com
pany is going off nicely. The absence
of the president in New York for several
weeks, attending on his invalid wife,
who was there under medical treatment,
caused slackening in the movement OF
the company's interests. His return has
thrown new life into it. as whatever Mr.
Miller Undertakes he means that it shall
succeed. And in this case he is deter
mined that success shall crown the en-
terprise of which he is the leading and
inspiring spirit

20 the Editor Of the FrLEGEAHHEzALa
Mr.. Charles h. Glbson's article on
church-S gong, calls to mind the crlti-
clsms made by some intelligent foreign.
ers upon America. A japanese prince,
nov N this country, said recently IN
conversation: ''Do you know think
America has less religion than any
other civilized country" When asked
what be meant by such an unheard Of
announcement, ne went on 10 say: II
have been so fortunate as to visit
almost every portion OF your wonder
ful country. have seen what con-
sideT the most delightful society IN the
world; have been entertained bv public
committees and private individuals;
they have shown me magnificent state
houses and Libraries and private resi-
dences; they have entertained me at
magnificent balls and nave set before
me the richest tOod and rarest wines;
and yet no one wishing TO show me the
| glOrIeS OF his city has ever vet asked me
10 visit ms church. You Americans
triumph ~ art, literature, society and
commerce, and arc glaG TO exhibitthem
70 foreigners, but really, you seem TO
/ think your religion not worth showing"
Several OF tine Pan-Amercan delegates
nave made similar remarks. Clear
headed foreigners who know that we
give large sums 20 build up Christianity
IN their native homes, imagine as the
japanese SAID, that America gives
money Tor missions without much care
as 20 tue possible results. We cannot
help thinking IN short, that your re-
hglon Is mostly 4 matter of dollars and
cents" Surely there IS material for
sober reflection IN this statement, and
possibly at no epoch II our national
history could tins criticism have been
made with go much justice. G.. s. Il.
