ENFORCING THE LAW.

If high judicial authority can be relied
upon the jury box in New York has be-
come nursery for crime. The cleo
trical execution law has been on the
statute books over three years, and dur
ing this period not fewer than q hun
dred murders have been committed
within that State, while less than one
out of twelve has been avenged by the
execution of its perpetrator.
The tendency of the average jury is
to get the criminal off from the punish
ment, if possible. So marked is this
that Judge MARITIME, before whom a wife
murderer was recently tried and acquit-
ted, said:
am cory to be compelled to say that it is ex-
ceedingly lamcntable that juries arc inclined to
give the greatest encouragement by their YER
diets to this particular kind of crime-ehootinr
ARRAYS.
The natural result Is seen on every side OF us
Crimes OF this sort are growing more numerous
daily, and, in my Judgment, the blame must be
placed upon the jurors who refuse 10 act upon
the evidence and who travel outside of 1t to find
excuse for crime.
The Jury box has become n nursery for such
crimes.
The execution of Lavender by Judge
Lynch checked manifest drift in the
same direction in Roanoke. The GRIM
inal law should be enforced with sever.
ity and celebrity by juries and courts,
particularly when human life is taken or
virtue outraged. In no other way can
society be protected from brutes in
human form.

Church will hold its regular monthly
meeting this afternoon at four o'clock
at the Y. M. C. A. hall on Salem ave-
nue.. The time is so near when the

gratulate themselves upon the success
which has attended all their efforts to
this end. In Sort time now the

has under consideration the engagement
of preacher of brilliant attachments to
take charge of the new Christ Church.

Matters of Interest Q altered in
Rockbridge County.

lIhAiN"IoN, MaVCu oI-l opeciaiI
Just at this particular time baseball
seems to be the an.absorbing topic in
this quiet old town, and during the past
week three good teams have been or
gained. This sport will be activolyen-
gagged in here during the coming season.
On Tuesday night team was organized
at Washington and Lee Universi'y,wlth
D. l.. Groner, of Norfolk, as manager,
and already contracts have been made
with clubs from the University of Vir-
GINA, Johns Hopkins, Vanderbilt, the
University of North Carolina, Richmond
College and others to play here during
the coming season.
The cadets of the Virginia Military
Institute also have good team and
will play most of the teams above
named. club has been organized by
the best talent of the town, and some of
our best citizens are interested in the
movement and propose to back the boys
and as soon as the weather will permit
they will go to practicing.
Hugh Adams, one of Rockbridge's
most popular and influential citizens,
died at his home, at Rock bridge Baths,
about ~ miles from Lexington, Tuesday
night. He was an uncompromiSing
Democrat and one of the leaders of the
party in the county, and ct the time of
his death was a member of the county
Democratic committee.
On Tuesday evening last the Levesia
School, at East Lexington, Miss Laura
Beeton, principal, and Miss Susie Tolley,
assistant, closed with beautiful and
appropriate exercises. Quite a large
crowd was present. The Misses Georgia
Shaner and Lou Tolley won the first
prizes, handsome gold medals. The oc'
casion was most enjoyable one.
A movement is now on foot among the
cadets of the Virg inia Military Institute
to erect monument to the memory of
John f. Evans, who was for nearly
| thirty years drummer and orderly to
| the commandment at the Institute, and
who fell dead on the streets of Licking
ton on July last. The stone will cost
not less than $50, and will probably be
erected in May.
BY order of Governor Mckinney, Ad-
iutant General Mcdonald has called a
meeting of the Virginia Military Insti-
tute board of visitors to assem- ole hero
on May Is.
The sheriff of Rock bridge has received
letter from the Augusta county au-
thorities, asking accomm odation for nine
prisoners now in our county jail, as they
propose building new one. and Will be
compelled to seek quarters elsewhere
for their criminals during the progress
of the work. We are sorry to state,
however, that we have as many OF that
class already as we can we'll accommo-
date.
The docket for the next term of the
county court, which begins next Mon.
day, is loaded down, there being four
teen commonwealth cases, besides q

THE THIRD TICKET.
The National Committee Advise
Against it,

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-At Democratic
national headquarters today there was
feeling of regret that the anti-snappers
of this city have decided to run an in
dependent local ticket. Chairman
Harrlty and his associates all advised
against it and they are of the opinion
that this action will not help the
national ticket. Speaking of the local
situation, Don NJ. Dickinson said
that Tammany hall was power
full factor in this campaign.
Referring to Richard Crooker's
statement that the boiling ticket would
endanger the legislature and the United
States senatorship, Mr.. Dickinson's
comment was that Mr.. Croker was
level-headed man. At the national
headquarters it is realized that the real
danger in the third ticket movement is
in the possible trading of votes for the
local offices. Most of the members of
the Democratic state committee left for
home today.
State Senator Mcdonald, editor of the
Lynchburg, Va, Virginan. was active
at the Democratic headquarters. He
seems very enthusiastic over the pros
poets of Democratic success in his
states election. He places Cleveland's
HdJOIlIy DIT from 0,UUU 10 lU,CUU.
l.. j. Richardson, Democratic national
committeeman from Iowa, was at head
quarters all day discussing plans for
pushing the canvass in his state.
Chauncy f. Black, president of the Ma
tional Association of Democratic clubs,
is expected to arrive tonight. 1t is
stated that he will personally call upon
Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Hill, and will
urge them to accept the invitations
previously extended them to address the
meeting of clubs to be held at the Aca-
DENY of Music Tuesday next. 1t is
said this is movement to bring Mr..
Cleveland and Mr.. Hill upon the same
platform for effect.

SPENT A QUIET DAY.
Only Few Leaders Called On
Mr.. Cleveland

NIX. SlcVcIanu.
New YORK, Oct. 1.-Ex-President
Cleveland spent a rather quiet MORN
ing, the only persons of special political
importance who called on him being
Chairman Dickinson, of the national
committee, and Lawrence Gardner,
president of the Association of Demo-
cratic clubs. Mr.. Dickinson did not re-
mann long, and when he came away said
to the reporters that interest in the ma
tlonal politics seemed to be giving away,
for the time, to local politics. MIR. Gard
ner'S visit was supposed to be in refer
ence to the invitation given to Mr..
Cleveland to attend and speak at the
convention of the Democratic clubs.
which is to be held in this city next
week. 1t was stated that Mr.. Cleveland
had not decided in regard to this matter.
Senator Hill is still at the Hotel Nor
mandie, where he received a number of
that he will speak at the convention
here next week. 1t was rumored that
Mr.. Cleveland would call OH Senator
Hill this afternoon.
The political conditions in all parts of
the country have been laid before Mr..
Cleveland by the Democratic national
campaign committee. and he is said to be
well pleased with the outlook, especially
in this state and the Northwestern
states which the Democrats hope to
carry. He told Don NJ. Dickinson yes
terday that he considered Wisconsin,
Michigan, Minnesota and Illinois debat-
able ground. and lie expressed great
pleasure with the work of the Chicago
headquarters.
The Democratic club at No. 617 Fifth
avenue has rendered reception to Mr..
Cleveland to be held at the club house

AN IMMENSE GATHERING.
Thousands of Democrats Coming
to New York

NEW I DIRK, Oct. 1.-IndicationS were
today that not more than half of the
delegates to the convention of the Ma
tional Association of Democratic clubs,
which will be held in the Academy
OF Music, this city, next Tuesday
and Wednesday, will be likely to get
into the convention hall. The latest
estimate of the committee Oh arrange
ments places the number of delegates
as high as 10000. The fact that Grover
Cleveland and Adlai E. Stevenson viii
be present, with the fact that the
candidate for president will speak,
will cause the clamOr for seats to
be almost unprecedented. Delegates
who arrive late, or who set out for the
convention hall not particularly early,
may have difficulty in getting even
within sight of the entrance doors. The
committees having the convention in
charge were well nigh overwhelmed
today with the mass of detail
thrust upon them; yet their
work was light to what they look for
ward to Monday. when most of the del
egates arrive. Comparatively. few of
the delegates have reached the city, but
kilograms were received today showing
that many of them are on their way.
MOST OF the leaders are here taking
hand in the final arrangements. Chair
man Black has established himself at
the Albemarle hotel. With the excep-
ton of Gen. Collins, of Boston, who
will be chairman, the names of the
speakers have not been made pub
lie. The only surprise that the local
Democrats can think of in the mat
ter of speakers is the possibility
of Cleveland and Hill addressing the
convention at the same session. How
ever, the person who gives out official
information at committee headquarters
SAID this afternoon that he has heard of
no SUCH arrangement. and also that he
would be the first man to hear of it
should an arrangement of that kind
be made. 1t cannot be denied
On the other hand, that local Democrats
