Another Excursion of Dickinsonians
to Pennsylvania.

to pennsylvania.
There was another large excursion of
River Brethren and others to Pennsyl-
yania today over the Union Pacific.
About so tickets were sold to the party
and all departed at noon prepared to
take months outing in.the Keystone
state. A round trip rate of $50 to
Martinsburg, Pa, was given, tickets
limited to 80 days returning. There
did not seem to be any calamity about
the party though nearly all were far
mers' families. They were we'll
dressed and prosperous looking and
when they paid for their tickets took
out large wads of bills and handfuls of
coin from their pockets. There have
probably $50 Dickinson farmers and
farmers wives made visits to Pennsyl-
vania this season, fact which seems
to indicate that there is little suffering
among the county's residents.
Among the members of today's party
we noticed: G. F. Worley and family,
Mrs. NJ. D. Good and daughter, Jos.
Gish and wife, Geo. Isler, ISRAEL Fisher
and wife, H. Landis, Emmett Brandt
and daughter, Mrs. Annie Sheets,

At Its recent meeting the Dinwiddie
County Alliance adopted resolution re-
commencing that the members vote LOT the
Alliance mon ON the county tickets, ire
snertiye of party. This action may DO sig
n;fcant. in view Of the fact tint there are
Alliance men on both the Democratic ana
Renublican tickets. Some interest IS also
fell nv reason of a meeting recently held
in Daryille's district. at which candidates
for treasurer aud sheriff were nominated
independent of the regular party nomlha;:
tiOns. A cOOl-headed, observant cltlzch OF
the county said to-day that while tho con-
test is VERY lively and rather mixed, his
candid opinion was that the Democratic
ticket would be successful.
FREAKS or JACK FROST.
A curious feature of the recent frosts. in
Prince George county was the fact that
within a mile Of the riyer-banks no damage
was done, while beyond that range there
was very serious destruction TO vegetation
and young fruit. In many instances the
forage foliage looked as black as though 1t
had been burned by fire.
IL is said that the tobacco-plants arc late
and rather scarce this season. The fact
that the beds we're generally covered by
canvas saved them from injury by the
frosts, and the beds are generally in good
condition.

CAN BEAT M'KINLEY.
LIKE THE CASE OF ANANlAs.
Fate of u Woman Who Bore False Wit
ness I'm Court.

Charles r. d. W. Graves, Of Norfolk, Va,
who is stopping at the Southern. says the
ST. Louis dr-S11Jings, relates a very re-
markable coincidence, which, If substan-
tiated by the facts, would bea miracle.
Mr.. Graves. while not q witness to the
affair, nevertheless says 1T IS true. The
story, as told by him, is as follows;
On Wednesday of last week O colored
man named Price was on trial before Jus.
tice of the peace named Farwell. VINO had
an office on the Brldgeton road about
eighteen miles from Norfolk.
Price had been beating a number of men
in the neighborhood, and Carolina Jack
son, a colored woman, was placed on the
witnesS-stand to tell what she knew of the
matter. She gave her evidence, and was
soon after asked by the Justice:
DO you know that you are lying?"
She answered. Yes, sir. "
These were the last words Caroline ever
spoke. She had appeared quite indie.
pendent and to some extent impudent
when first put on the stand, and after
the last remark a number of questions
were asked. but the woman made no reply.
Believing she was shamming, tho Justice
directed the constable 20 escort the witness
from the courtroom, but when ordered to
follow by the officer she did not move.
Two men of her own color were then told
! 90 carry her out OF the room. While IN the
act of carrying her out it was plainly visible
she was in a helpless condition. She had
| been paralyZed in every part. Her limbs
| were motionless, her tongue had no power
and it soon became apparent to all present
that the hand of the Almighty had been
| laid heavily upon her.
For two hours or thereabouts the woman
remained in this passive state, after which
she was placed in a wagon and conveyed
| 10 her home. She never moved or spoke
| afterward and on Thursday evening last
she expired.
No antidote applied during the interval
availed in afording the slightest relief.
Nr. Graves says that no will vouch for the
| truthtulness Of the article. and says it can
be corroborated by writing to any person
| in Norfolk.
