MAYOR EVANS RETURNS.

He Tries His Hand at Making His Own
Bathing Suit.
Mayor Evans returned last night from
q delightful trip Of two weeks to Noun
tain Lake. He was accompanied by
Prof. Grin L. Stearnes, of Salem. 1t is
said that the mayor and Prot Stearnes
procured some goods and made couple
of bathing suits all by themselves.
They actually cut the suits out-guess
work, of course-and scwcd them up.
Some of the lady visitors heard of the
difficulties under which they were labor
ing and sent word that they would do
the making, but for some reason the
offer was not accepted. Now ono of the
ladies is writing a parody on the Song

THE STATE ALLIANCE.

There is no longer any doubt that the
Farmers Alliance will try to captu, @
the Virginia Legislature in the fall
election.
Apparently the Peoples party will not
be recognized but the exhortation Of
President Page to the Alliance men to
attend the local meetings Of their
parties, and SEQ that the candidates
nominated arc pledged for q railroad
commission, means that the fight is on.
Who're the Alliance is sufficiently
strong to control the Democratic con-
ventions, Alliance candidates will be
nominated. In many of the districts
where they are not strong enough to
dictate to the Democratic party, indie
pendent Alliance tickets may be looked
for.
President Pages annual address is
largely rchash of wellknown Alliance
principles, such as opposition to the ma
tional banking system, demanding OF
financial relief by Congress and the adj
vocacy Of the sub-treasury scheme.
The Alliance has not been an impor
tant factor in any previous campaign in
this State, but the address of Mr.. Page
places the order in Virginia squarcly in
politics.
The convention now in session
in Richmond will probably take
further action upon some of the is
sues touched upon by the president

COLUMBUS, GA, May 26.-The Howard
Dawson murder case is the all-absorbing
topic of conversation here. Maj. Dawson,
the prosecutor, has addressed a card to the
public touching the sensational features
brought out In the motion for a continu-
ance. MAJ. Dawson says he is restrained
by the admonition of counsel from max
ing full and detailed reply to
the affidavits and the statements of the
defendants, but upon the trial before
the court and jury of the country the
whole facts and truth will be brought out,
and when it is he has no fears of the entire
vindication of the character of his murdered
son ana of his living children, and that he has
always been ready and willing, and is
now ready and willing and anxious that the
true facts of the whole affair should be
brought to light.
The trial of Clarence McKleroy, which
began yesterday afternoon, has been in
progress all day. The arguments were con-
cluded at a late hour this afternoon, and the
case was given to the jury, which after two
hours brought in a verdict of guilty of
murder, with a recommendation to the
penitentiary for life.

Officer Robert Goodson in the side, and the
latter died few hours thereafter. Police
man A. P. Branuan stood in the alley which
runs alongside the station house cleaning a
pistol slightly out Of order. He handed it
TO Officer Lauford and asked what it would
probably cost to have it put in frst-class
order. Officer Lanford took the pistol to
examine it. He cooked It, and the hammer
slipped from his fingers, and there was a re-
port. Officer Goodson at this moment
stood in front Of the police stable
across the street, but not directly
opposite the station house. The pistol ball
struck the pavement and glanced, and,
bounding one hundred feet or more to the
right, entered Officer Goodson's side, caus-
ing his death. From the position occupied
by Officer Lanford he could not have seen
Officer Goodson. The two men were neigh
bors and Officer Goodson leaves a wife aud
two small children.
