The misuse Of criminal proceedings at
law by the thoughtless is likely not only
to do great injustice to the objects of such
proceedings, bul the final result is often
costly to those who adopt it. Last week
D. +. Kagey of Newmarket, Shenandoah,
tie President Of Lllray bank, lately sus-
pended. and J. w. Miller of Mt. Jackson.
another of its officers, were arrested by the
Sheriff of Page county on warrants sworn
olt by some Of the depoSitors, charging
them with ''embezzlement. - At Luray
they were bailed in $4,000 each, with G.
". Rosenberger and S. z. Shirley, of
Shenandoah, us their securities, to appear
at the March term of the Page court We
have no acquaintance with, nor knowledge
OF the two officers arrested, beyond know
ing the fact that their lifelong reputation
fot integrity in the Valley has been of the
highest character. After reading Of their
arrest in Our exchanges, and remembering
that State Senator Edward Echols after
tie suspension Of their banking house, went
to Luray and made an investigation of its
affairs rs counsel for one of its creditors
the National Valley Bank Of Staunton, we
called on him for information. Mr.. Echols
said he thought the failure of the bank was
Il bad one, and the methods Oh which it had
been conducted were very unbusiness- like,
bat after thorough Investigation of its
affairs he could find no trace of bad faith
OF dishonesty On the part of any one. The
assignment made was, he said, one of the
fairest he had seen in his professional ex-
perience; the owners of the bank had given
~ all their pr oparty and concealed moth
Ing. The probabilities would seem to be
that the depositors who brought the crilni-
nal charges have subjected themselves to
tie risk of occupying the place of defen-
dants in a damage suit. Hasty and i'll
advised recourse to criminal law in bust
ness troubles often proves a dangerous
boomerang. besides inficting grievous
wrong which it is out Of the power of the
originators to repair

A suit OF considerable interest in the
present real estate activity in Virginia has
Just started in the Roanoke Hastings Court
on its way up to the Court of Appeals. 1t
seems that on the 9th Of October, 1888.
James S. Simmons bought from r. II. Gray
4 Co. acting as agents for T. G.. Kramer,
three lots OF land in that city for SIC, 900.
Their authority for making the sale was
the following note dated Roanoke. Oct.
Sd. 1858
"Gents:-Y ours received and l cannot ac-
cept your offer, bat my price at the present
time is 10000 for my lots on Salem avenue;
one-third cash, balance one and two years,
six per cent. secured by deed of trust on the
ground. Will give you two per cent. COM
mission. Awaiting a reply.
Respectfully yours,
+. G. KRAMER"
MI Kramer after the sale was made re-
fused to ratify it.
The court held that under the law of
Virginia the authority of the agent making
the sale must be proved 10y clear, direct
and satisfactory evidence, and quoted the
decision of the Supreme Court of Appeals
III Blair rs. Sheridan, that
For the plaintiffs to recover in case like
the present, it is necessary that they shall
show by evidence which is clear, competent,
direct and satisfactory, both the terms of
sand contract and the authority of such agent
Or ratification OF ms acts by the principal :;
otherwise the relief prayed for will be
denied"
The authority in this case given by
hf''lner to Gray Il Co., the court held, was
not conclusive. and the fact that the docu-
ment carrying it bore the words 'sAwaiting
your reply, showed that Kramer did not
deem 1t so. The court decided for Kramer
aiia al appeal was taken from it's decision.
lie property in controversy which was
valued at SIC, 900 in 1888 is now valued at
from 500 200 to $50. 900, and the case excites
interest on That account.

one of the new U. S. Appellate judgeships
is taking on the color of the two fac
lions in the Virginia Republican party,
is very disheartening, and will in all
probability result in neither getting

The New Orleans executions are some
thing That rises above argument. There
was just nothing else that could be
done and that about covers the whole case.
AS for the cruelty Of executing nnarmed
&c, &C., there was no more cruelty than
in sheriff with half dozen assistants
taking an unarmed man out and hanging
him till dead. The conservative, sober, in
telligent, and respectable-for they were
all Of that-people of New Orleans knew the
situation better than anybody else could
know it, and they met it better than any
body else could meet it. If the assassins
had been Americans they would have been
executed just the sane. Assassination has
no Nationality. 1t was the Peoples High
Court of Emergency and its executions
were in the interest OF Law and Order as
against Assassination. The st. James
London, Eng.) Gazette states the whole
matter when it says:
'Thc incident shows that native Americans
have not lost the quality of stern resolution
which is sometimes dissolved by life OF COM
fort and luxury in modern society. The men
who organized this defiance of formal Justice
are not ashamed of what they have done
They have defeated a society of foreign rut-
fans who were trying to terrorze a whole
city 1t is doubtful if John BuII has enough
grit left in him to protest in as emphatic a
manner as the citizens Of New Orleans have
protested"

THE DEAD MEN.
Joseph L. MacIeca was a native of New
orleans, OF Maltese descent, and wealthy
lie founded the Royal Balize Steamship Co.
and owned the first steamer that was sent t.
Central America for fruit twenty years ago
Lately his brothers have run the business an(
he has been man about town. He was
worth several hundred thousands of dollars
and was the controller of the Sicilian popu
lation in New Orleans. The testimony II
court showed clearly that he was the head OF
the conspiracy to kill Chief Hennessy. and he
was believed to be the head of the dreaded
Maia
Jim CarusO was member of the firm OF
Caruso brothers, in the fruit trade, lie had
not yet been tried
Rocco Geracci was an eXconvict from Sici
ly. Antonio Scaliidi was a fruit vendor in
the Foydras market. He it was, who while
in prison, after the Hennessy murder. was
shot and badly wounded by a friend of Hen.
messy. Pietro Monasterio was shoe maker
80 years of age, who rented the house. two
months before the murder, from the porch of
which Hennessy was shot. Antonio Marches
was the man who notified the assassins bv a
peculiar whistle that Hennessy was coming
UP the street. Pollizz was 2G years old. and
furnished the guns to the assassins and was
present. In escaping after the murder he fell
and injured his shoulder. Antonio Bagnetto
was identified in court as one of the men who
fired on Hennessy, but proved strong alibi.
The rest, like those named, were Sicilians and
fruit dealers

Sunday in New Orleans was quiet and
beautiful day. Except for the throngs of
curious spectators WHO visited the prison to
look at the scene Of the tragedy, there was
nothing to distinguish it from any other Sun

urday' s beginning might be broadened into an
attack on them and not understanding that it
was the crimes of the assassins and not their
nationality that caused the people to execute
them, left the city: With the officials, city
and State, there was q good deal of routine
explanation to make of their non,interference,
but all they said might be summed up in the
statement that the mass meeting was at first
