Death of D. It. Cornell.

We noticed last week the desperate
and daring assault that was made at Ba-
sic City on D. f. Connell of Portsmouth,
Ohio, while asleep in Pullman car, on
the Express train of the G. s. o. railway,
on Saturday week. We also stated
upon the authority of Judge Marshall.
of Craig, that Mr.. Council could not live
through Tuesday. He died OF that day,
and his remains passed Clifton on Thurs
day night. All of his family were at
his bedside when he breathed lis last.
He made will before his death. leaving
his property to his wife and children.
There has been no solution to the mys-
terry of the assault. The accepted theory
is that he was killed as at first stated by
some one who was after plumber, OF seek
ing revenge. Other theories have been
projected, but they will not stand inves>
LEGATION. Although a reward of $1,000
has been offered-$ $4,000 by the family of
the deceased; $4,000 by the Pullman
Company and $4,000 by the c. & o. rails
way company, no arrests had been made
at last accounts. 1t is stated that the
sons of Mr.. Cornell will sue the Pullman
Car Company for a large sum.

AS If By Authority

It was reported to us few days ago,
that Decatur AxtelI. Vice Presidents of the
G. Il O. railway, and a well known and
successful business man of Lynchburg,
were standing on the veranda of the
Gladys Hotel, viewing che beautiful
stretch of country that makes up and
forms Jackson River Valley. The gen
tleman with Mr.. Axtell is largely inter
ested in the G. & O. Development Com
pany, and in the building up of Clifton
Forge. Looking down from the Hotel
upon the shops already erected and the
level ground reaching up to Che river, he
remarked that he wanted t D see that en-
tire space occupied by shops and indus
tries. Mr.. Axteil in his quiet and eau
tious way, said that condition would be
seen III the near future. Not only that,
but the Company would have TO cross
the river to get ground for the improve
ments that would be made. The shops
there, he said, were not erected merely
for repair shops Those they have now
at Clifton Forge, Huntington and Rich>
mond. and there would be MO neees-
sity for enlargement if only repairing
was to be done. Here, he said,Nis even
tuaily to be the great manufacturing
plant OF the Company. and all that has
been said about the future of Clifton
Forge, would come true. 1t is to be an
important and populous and busy place
and reach dimensions that are not now
generally contemplated.
OF course this conversation was very
assuring to the Lynchburg gentleman as
well as to all interested in this section of

Clifton Forge Female Seminary,

Clifton Forge Female Seminary.
Every stranger who seriously contem-
first inquiries as to the churches and
school facilities and if these are want,
ing he is likely to go a town further
The church is first and then the school,
and while business is often triune ne
cessity to the induceme Mt, it is more fire.
Quently than otherwise overruled by the
other two prerequisites OF a locality than
the other essentials are subordinated to
it. This is evidenced by the fact that
parents send their children away from
homes Of elegance, of comfort and even
luxury that the mind may receive that
cultivation which is essential to their
future obligations to themselves, to civi-
lization and to their Creator. TO ac-
complish these requirements 1t IS often
the case that the liberties of the child
and the freedom and enjoyment Of
home life'' are destroyed, and almost
entire seclusion, to which they are I'M
accustomed and which is unnatural and
dangerous to their health, takes their
place. The school which offers good ed
ucational advantages,a sufficient amount
OF healthful recreation and a parental
influence over child is the most desira~
BILE and best calculated to impart that
physical and the mental being. We do
not know of any place which more near
ly fills these requirements. and we might
add the religious" than does the Clif-
ton Forge Female Seminary, under the
management of the Misses Bryant. All
of the surroundings are most conducive
to the attainment of these aims. The
new and we'll arranged school building
which is nearing completion, is in d most
healthful and desirable location, overs
looking the entire town and country
around; convenient to all the various
churches of the town; the surroundings
afford all the advantages necessary for
the recreation SO essential to physical
development; the Seminary building is
specially and admirably arranged, both
ments, for the comfort and convenience
of pupils; the teachers are ladies who
have experience and reputation in their
calling and their charges are the most
reasonable, rendering it a desirable
school in all respects.
The Misses Bryant are grand nieces of
Alexander Campbell, and are ladies of
education, with a peculiar talent adapt
ed to teaching. They make school a
home, and all intrusted to their care are
watched over and treated as members of
one family. Both of the Misses Bryant
are graduates of Stamford, (Ky.) Fe
male Seminary, and Miss Dora, the Prin-
cipal, has been in charge of the West
Point (Va.1 Female Academy, and also
at Louisa, in the same capacity. She is
recognized as one OF the best teachers in
the South, and we can commend these
ladies to our people and the public gen
orally. The school is credit tt, the la
dies at the head of the enterprise, and
one in which this community takes
just pride.
