"a Man who Courted Nobody's smile and
Feared Nobody's Frown."
The Governor yesterday received a tele-
gram from Farmville announcing the death
Of Judge Frank d. Irving.
Few men were perhaps better known in the
State and his loss will bo very generally
lamented.
An anecdoto is told which thoroughly illus
trates how profoundly he was regarded by all
men In the session Of 1885 So an Old
nero man from Cumberland county was
n member of the General Assembly. When
the county Judge Cr Prince Edward was 20 DO
named he solicited the Republicans TO make
no nomination in order that he might vote Tor
Judge Irving. This was granted and when
the Judge was named Boiling seconded the
nomination. and 40 the close Of clever
speech he declared that the Judge was "A
man who courts nObOdy's smiles and fears
n0body's trOwn.
he was one Of tho most accomplished law
yers that the State ever produced. he mus
trated the learning, wisdom and dignity OK ms
profession as well as any man OF his tlno.
He WAS bold and fearless without asperty.
As an advocate he was ardent. but the cause
of his client never induced him TO DO mus
tice.
As Judge he was respected. honored and
loved by the lawyers and people.
10 Is safe TO say that he was without per-
sonal enemy on the face of the earth.

OF lis wife on July 4. 1890. Loppy was
attended in his last moments by Chaplain

spiritual adviser. and Chaplain Edgerton, Of
Sing Sing prison. Chaplains Low and Edger-
ton and Keeper Cunnington accompanied
Warden Brown when he read the death war

Loppy was more intelligent than any Of the
murderers who have been confined IN the
death chair. lie listened with bowed head
and when the warden finished reading the
doomed man was led out of his cage. The
little procession started tor the death chair.

IN THE DEATH CHAIR.
As soon as Loppy arrived in the execution

strapped SO that he could not move head or

Tense Of Senator Irby. against whom the old

explosion occurred yesterday. Wives,

disaster first spread have returned 10 their

the bodies of their relatives and friends that
the rescuing parties have succeeded IL taking
from the pit.
ALL HOPE ABANDONED.
The hope that some Of the miners who had
been imprisoned by the falling walls OF the
chambers might be still alive has been aban-
doned. The air in the mine is still foul and
sitting, and the men who have been IN II say

for any length OF time The work of removing
the bodies IS necessarily slow. the efforts Of
the rescuers being greatly hindered by the
immense masses of debris which encumber
the passages. Since midnight last night fif-
teen bodies have been taken from the pit
The scene when they were lifted % the surface
was most heartrending. The weep
ing. sobbing women would cluster around
tho bodies hoping yet dreading to recognize
in the smoke -blackened and sometimes
burned faces OF the dead the features of some
dear one. The scene was one that had been
enacted hundreds of times in coal-felds and

rescuers are making their way as rapidly AZ
possible toward Them and it is expected that
they will shortly reach and remove them.
