GOV. MCKINNEY AND THE OYsTET
lNTEREsT.-On Wednesday last, the 9th
inst, Gov. Mckinney sent special mes
sage of some length to the Legislature or
the oyster interests of the State. The
message is accompanied by bill, the
passage of which, the Governor thinks, will
effectually protect the oyster interests and
largely increase the States revenues. The
Governor thinks ''the hope of the oyster il
Virginia is in the planter, who should be
offered reasonable Inducements, because he
produces and protects" Governor Nc
Kinney says the Legislature should not
pass any law which violates the compact
entered into By the State of Maryland and
Virginia ON the 28th of March, 1885, OF
any existing laws of either States, "but if
on consideration, the Legislature deem ii
best that any of the agreements existing

modified, there should be conference
asked, and such action should be taken as
will be best for the interests of both
States"

A few days ago, Mr.. Frank Paokwood,
who lives in Florida between Smyrna and
Oak Hill in Florida, about,7 miles from

shot in the head and others having had
their throats cut. This horrible scene of
murder was discovered at 10 O'Clock on
Saturday morning. The murdered were
Mrs. L. D. Hatch, formerly of Maine and
her younger SOD, Miss Adelaide Bruce, of
New York city, and Frank Packwood, Jr.
Great excitement prevails, and hundreds

Location of Courthouse Changed.

The Courthouse of Pooahontss county,
W. Va, will in future be at the new town
of Marlinton instead of Huntersville, as
heretofore, the question having been settled
BY popular vote, with about three. fourths
of the vote in favor of the change Of loca
ton. The new location is more central
than the old, and it will be an important
paint on the projected railroad. Now
there will be boom at NJ arlinton and prop
srty will go up, and speculation will be
rife, and some will make and others will
lose. Those who own property there now
will be greatly benefited.

OPTIMISTIC MEssAGE.-The Baltimore
Sun Gays that there is fine haVor OF
political optimism, not TO say tone OF SELL
complacency, pervading the whole OF the
Presidents message, and that in view OF
the fact that within few months the
national convention of the republican party
will assemble, and that few months later
the presidential election will take place,
the message is undoubtedly clever anu
ingenious production. II is not unjust TO
say that both those events were clearly
present to the mind of the writer. 1t is an
elaborate attempt to show that there can
be no possible justification for change OF
administration when everything is going
on SO nicely and the whole country is pros
pering under the present Executive. 1t is
plausibly-urged bid for a denomination
cleverly-conceived campaign document
for the republican party.

CRUELTY To ANIMALs.-The Mayor and
magistrates are to be commended for
promptly iIflicting the penalties of the law
upon any person who has been proven gull
ty of cruelty to animals. There is no ex-
ouse for this form of crime, and the ouly
pity is that the law,-the general sentiment
of the people-oannot reach it, and punish
it more efectiv ely.-Lynch6urg Adoance-
We heartily endorse the sentiment ex-
pressed above and say "Ditto to Mr..
Burke" A man who is cruel to animals
ia beneath and more of q brute than the
animal he abuses, and should be severely
punished. 1t is low, near, and cowardly,
and the man who would do 1t is the bond
slave of his satanic majesty, and observes
to be kicked to death by blind mules, or to
be confined In kenneI of mad dogs, or to
be ever kept from sleeping by concert Of
q thousand yewling Tom cats.

ENGLISH BoNDHoLDERs WILL NOT AGREE
TO THE sETTLEMENT.-It seems that the
English holders of Virginia bonds are op
posed to tho settlement agreed upon by the
O,cott Committee. This is to be regretted,
both on account of the interests of the
bondholders and Of those Of the State. 1t
would be bad for both not to have this
ma tier settled now.

18th says:-
"Ths London advisory board of Virginia

Speaker Chas. F. Crisp was Soldier in
the St0neWalI Brigade.

The able and distinguished gentleman
recently elected Speaker of the House OF
Representatives was gallant solder in the
Stonewall Brigade. He volunteered in
Page county, Va, when about 16 years OF
age, and was member of Capt. r. s.
Parks company "K'' in the 10Th Virginia
infantry Regiment His conduct at the
battle of Mcdowell when his Captain was
shot down is related by Capt. Parks as
given by Richmond correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun, under date of Dec. 9Th, as
follows
"Captain Parks of Luray, who command
ed Company z, Tenth Virginia Infantry,
in which Hon. Charles F. Crisp, the Speak
er of the House of Representatives, served
during the war, is here today looking after
the candidacy of judge of Shenandoah
county to be elected by the Legislature
The Captain tells how Mr.. Crisp, who was
a mere stripping, weighing little more
than hundred pounds, probably saved the
formers life at the battle of Mcdowell in
the mountains of Virginia in 1862. In that
engagement the Captain was wounded and
could not get off the field. Private Crisp
undertook to carry him to place of safety,
but finding the burden too great had to
place him upon the ground. The young
fellow determined to save his commanders
life, threw himself in front of him to shield
him from the perfect storm of bullets and
shells that were flying and whipping over
that part of the field. After the conflict
was over Captain Parks was removed to a
place of safety, where his wound was treat
ed. Some years after the war Captain
Parks called upon his friend Crisp in Wash
ington and introduced himself. The Incl
dent of the battle of Mcdowell was of
course the chief topic between the two gen.
temen while together"
The Rockingham Register says
"There are in the Register cffice sever
al old account books of Capt. A. s. Byrd,
quarter master of the 10Th Virginia Regi-
ment, and in the abstract Of payments for
the months of November and December,

A ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.-A romance
in real life became public in Tacoma, State
Of Washington, few days ago, when Will
liam Lurty, clerk of the municipal court,
was quietly married to Lucy 81. Lurty.-
Once before, away back 10 Virginia, in the
year 1873, these same parties were united
in marriage and three children were born
to them. The marriage proved unhappy,
however, and in 1887, one year after their
coming to Tacoma, they separated by mu-
tual consent and were DIVORCED in the dis
trict court, though Mr.. Lurty continued to
provide for the mother and children and
was an occasional visitor at their home
Last April Mrs. Lurty and her children re-
turned to Virginia. They stayed but four
months. Returning to Tacoma, they were
established in snug home on the hill pro-
vided by Mr.. Lurty, and the marriage last
Friday reunited the family. Mrs. Lurty
was Miss Lucy Davidson, daughter of the
late James G. Davidson of Rockbridge
county, Va.
They resided in HarrisonIur5 for nrm-
beg of years, during which peri Mr.. L1r-
ty was clerk of the U. s. District Court for
this District.
