The Raker-C4ilmer Case.

The Pulaski Netos says: Mrs. Gilmer,
who is now at her girlhood home in Flu
laski county, it is reliably said, makes no
effort to belittle her guilt and has no
thought IF weakening in her statements
regarding DR.. Baker. She gives him no
encouragement in denying her statement
that they spent some days together at
Hotel Fairmount at Bristol. She has, we
are tolG. given to her family detailed
statement of the whole affair, in which
she describes the doctors plan to make
away with his wife. According to this
report ne claimed to have seen no con-
siderable harm in causing her death, rs
she was pure, good woman and would
simply be ushered into heaven.
Mrs Gilmer says she is perfectly resign
ca to the laws course and will try 10
bear bravely the consequences of her
wrong doing. The exposure came not
from her, sDr. Baker being betrayed by
tell-tale papers which had been IN his
possession.
According TO the terms of her bail bond
Mrs. Gilmer must report IN person at every
session OF the Washington county court
until her trial comes off. Her husband
has asked her to come few days before
the June term and spend the time with
her children. who are iuconsoIable at the
absence Of their mother.

Virginia and the Exposition.
Richmond Dispatch.

The people OF Smyth county have held
a public meeting and passed resolutions
expressing their conviction that the State
of Virginia ought to be well represented
at the Chicago Fair. They. however,
seen. to entertain doubts whether the
General Assembly will make an appropri-
alton for this purpose, and to provide
against such a contingency they have ap-
pointed seven delegates TO attend cou-
ventiOn to be held at Pulaski on June 4th
to take counsel in the premises
The undertaking Is not merely to collect
and forward to Chicago an exhibit of the
products and resources of the southv est
ern counties, but is State affair. The
committee who have tie matter in charge
say ''We desire that any county in the
State, any land or improvement company,
or any individual, aud especially the COM
missioners heretofore appointed by the
Governor, will cooperate with us, and
we request that the whole State in all OF
her diversified interests will be represent
ed at Pulaski, il possible, on the 4th OF
June"
This is a commendab!e move. Vir-
glnia ought to appear credltably at the
Fair. The best way to do it is for the
General Assembly to make an appropri-
alton for State exhibit, which may be
eaoily supplemented by county, city, and
individual exhibits.
The money will be voted if the farmers
ask it, otherwise not.
The Pulaski convention will no doubt
discuss and set forth all these points.
The Richmond Chamber of Commerce
should be represented at the convention.
The invitation of the committee includes
all such bodies.

Doomed by his Daughter.

A PRETTY STORY CONNECTED WITH TIE
NOMINATION OF BROWN FOR GOVERNOR.
NEW YORK, May ia pretty story
goes with the nomination OF John Young
Brown to be the Democratic candidate tor
Governor of Kentucky in the coming
campaign. According TO Kentucky man
who was at the Fifth Avenue hotel yester'
day the beginning of the boom for Mr..
Brown was made by his daughter, pref
ty girl of eighteen or twenty years.
This is the story: Mr. Brown was in
politics in his earlier life and represented
a district of the Blue Grass State in Con-
gress. After serving with credit he de-
cined TO accept another nomination and
settled down TO practice law. He SAID all
the time that he was out of politics, bat
he has a daughter who was little girl
when be was IN Congress. Vale he has
been practicing law she has been growing
to be woman, and has fallen desperately
in love with her father. She vas am-
bilious to see him again in public ilte,
but he put all her urging by. Finally
be was unable to longer resist her appeals.
and laughingly said il she would manage
his campaign she might nominate him for
any office she liked. She at once wrote
ont an acceptance of candidacy for
governor. lie signed the document, but
regarded it as a joke. The same day the
young lady visited NJ. Watterson and
showed him the written agreement OF her
father. Mr.. WattersOn was a personal
and political friend of Mr.. Brown aud
was charmed with the young lady's ac-
ton. He assured her that If Mr.. Brown
would be candidate he should receive
thu support of the Courier-JOurnal.
few days later Miss Brown had the
happiness of showing her father an article
in that paper supporting him for Cover
nor The Democrats IN convention rati-
fed the charge and probably made one
young lady happier than she e7eI was IN
her life before when they nominated John
Young Brown last Friday afternoon.

Hanged.

PETERSBURG, Va, May 22.-The fist
execution that has taken place in Peters
burg for more than tventy-seven years
was the hanging today of negro named
Walter Johnson for committing a crimi-
nal assault on Mrs Elizabeth Majors, a
highly respected lady in Nottoway coun-
ty. on the 10Th Of September last. The
execution took place in the ja!l-yard, and
was witnessed only by limited number
of citizens and the representatives OF the
press Outside of the Jail, however, there
were fully five hundred people, white and
colored, anxious to catch glimpse of the
execution. Yesterday afternoon johnson
made full confession Of his guilt to Rey.
f. NJ. Brawley, pastor of the First Baptist
Church, colored, in this city. johnson
assembled the scaffOld with a firm and
steady tread, and exhibited no fears OF
death. He stated that all he had to say
was that be was going to meet Jesus. He
warned all yOung men to beware OF his
fate The trap was sprung at fourteen
minutes to one o'clock this afternoon, and
the condemned mans neck was broken by
the fall. johnson met his victim at a
spring a short distance from her home,
threw her down, stuffed her mouth with
leaves and sticks, and then committed the
assault. He had to be brought here for safe
keeping and trial to prevent ynching.

AS the result of the reciprocity agree
ment with Srain, about all the flour
hereafter consumed IN Cuba will be the
product of American mills. Cuba uses
SOC. OCO barrels of flour year, all of which
has heretofore been sent to the island
from Spain. The Spanish flour sells for
SD a barrel in Cuba, while that from the
United States can be sent there and sold
for Sc a barrel after the high tariff is
taken off IN accordance with the reel
procity agreement Just concluded. Flour
being thus made SO much cheaper to the
people than before it is believed that a
market Will thereby be created for double
the amount which has constituted the
SUPPLY of the island in the past. 1t is
very dull American farmer who fails to
zee how all this is going to work to his
advantage. An entirely new market for
million barrels Of American flour is
something OF no small Importance to the
wheat growers of the United States. And
this will be brought about without hazard
to other national industries the prosperity
of which is a matter OF personal concern
to the farmer. The policy by which these
advantages have been gained will be the
fixed and permanent policy of the govern
ment If it is the wish of the farmers to
have it So and the wish is given the
right kind OF expression.

In his late speech at Buffalo, New York,
ex-President Cleveland, without Apostle
ness, and gratnitorsly, went out of his
way to lug in the following words :
"Whon the government of the country
was assaulted by rebellious hands" AS
the South is part of the country, and as
its vote elected Mr.. Cleveland, he could
not, when President, help appointing
some southern Democrats to Office, but
that his aversion to "rebels," though he
did not manifest it during the war, de-
veloped itself subsequently, aud still has
an abiding place in his breast, is plain to
be seen by the words above quoted, which
he unnecessarily uttered so late as last
Monday. A man protesting Democratic
principles, who speaks of the secession of
sovereign States as "rebeliOus," and OF
the men who defended the rights guar
anteed them by the Constitution as
"rebels," shows that he never learned the
English language, " else that his preju-
dice against the southern people Is so
strong that 1t blinds his judgment-un-
less 1T be that be is a candidate for the
Presidency, aud believes that the South
is boand to support anybody the northern
Democrats may nominate, in order to
preserve itself from the Force bill, and
that the best way Cor him to make HIM
self solid with the North is to abuse the
people of the South. When Mr.. Cleve-
land spoke of Confederate soldiers de-
Tending their hcarihstOnes, as "assaulting
the gOvernm at with rebelliOus hands,"
be doubtless felt as he did when be
sanctioned the order of ex-Secretary Villas
that no ex-COnfederate holding a minor
position in his department should be
promoted as he did when he refused to
let his wife 60 10 Richmond where she
would meet the daughter of ex-President
Davis, and when be refused to allow ex-
COnfederates who had resigned their posi-
tions in the U. S army, to draw pensions
as Mexican soldiers, though authorized to
do so by law of Congress and by de-
cson of the u. S. Supreme Court. II
Mr.. Cleveland lie the tayorite of the
Sonh for the nomination Of the next
national Democratic convention. 1T must
be that the people Of this section are
utterly ignorant Of what everybody else
knows, or else that they are so iorgiving
that they have become deficient in natur-
al resentment, and turn their left. to the
hand of tie man who has already smit-
ten their right cheek.-1IerGndria Ga

The Pulaski Ntms of late date, speak
inc Of the recent session of the New York
legislature, says:
1t is only to be regretted that no ap-
preparation should have been made for a
state exhibit at the fair of all fairs to be
held at Chicago in 1893. This neglect
was not the result of desire to practice
economy, but was the outcome of prac-
tical wIangle, the Republicans refusing
to vote for the appropriation because
they could not have their way about
some other things.
Oh, come! let's "tote far" The fail
ure to make an appropriation cannot be
charged to the Republicans, because a
legislature that mas votes enough to send
a Democrat to the United States senate
has also votes enough to appropriate
money fit sees fit to do SO. The trouble
is that New York got unified" when
Chicago carried off the prize, and has
never gotten over its chagrin. There
was no public sentiment to impel the
legislature to make an appropriation and
when the fair opens the Empire State,
officially at least, will not be SIN it,

The State Debt Commission TO
Meet Next Week.
TIE oLcorr COMMITTEE TO APPEAR.

TIE OLCOTT COMMITTEE 10 APPEAk.
RICHMOND, Va, My o. 1t is now
settled that the Virginia debt commission
will meet here early next week, probably
Monday. Members of tho OlcOtt debt
committee, the Governor says, are expect
ed to arrive here Tuesday or wednesday,
of next week. How many of these will
come Governor Mckinney says he Is not
now advised. Those who come will ap-
pear before the commission and present
their plan of settlement. Just what this
is, IS not definitely known. 1t is believed
to be with some notifications, the one
agreed N by the Olcott committee and
approved by Mr.. Cleveland's board
which vas published in full some months
ego. The changes, it is believed, were
suggested by the bOndholders to Mr. Ellis,
the secretary of the New York Central
Tru't Company, on the occasion of his re-
cent visit to London. When q reporter
asked the Governor this afternoon what
will be the outcome of the meeting of the
commission next week. he replied: "You
newspaper men know just as we'll as do,
if not better. haven't any idea" The
big bono OF contention is gong to
be over the question of accepting the
sum of about six million dollars OF cou
pOns outlawed under the WickhAm
amendment. Then, too. the length of
time, it is believed, it will be proposed
that the bonds shall run may be another
obstacle.

We insert the following item from the
Journalist, paper published in New
York .'The South Is a fold for new men
with new ideas and new energy. Some
pretty lively boomers have already drifted
in that direction, bnt there is room for
more. The man who goes South and
grows up with the country has a far bet
ter climate aud as great an OPT oTtunlty
as In the West. He has another advantage
he is rot going to new country he
will find men financially solid; men OF
ability and culture; mon who make
warm friends ard generous rivals. he
will find the climate delightful, living
very cheap, and business of all kinds on
the boom. He will be among people
who, if be is a gentleman he will fad TO
be courteous, hospitable and appreciative
beyond anything he ever experienced in
the North. With its natural advantages
it will one day, aud that before long
become one of the richest and most pros
porous sections Of the United States
Those who go early aud AVOID the rush
will be the first to share IN the pros
