VIRGINIA NOTES.

An Atlanta, Ca, special to the Rich
mond Dispatch, says: sheriff j. G. Lo-
gan. OF Bath county. Va, passed through
Atlanta Tuesday night with q closely
guarded and heavily-chained prisoner
That same prisoner may yet ornament
the end of rope. Nearly six years ago
one Of the most prosperous young farmers
of Bath county was found dead in his bed
in the morning, with an ugly stab in his
breast and a cash across his throat,
which left no room to conjecture the
cause OF his death. But Charles L. Aud
man was not known to have an enemy
in the world, and for several days no one
could conjecture who had done the bloody
deed. A few days after the burial, how
over, James L. Kaufman. q young Ger
man Audman had befriended, disappear
ed, and in a short time suspicion pointed
to him, but for years nothing was done.
Several months ago negro. who was
working for Audman at the timo Of the
murder was arrested for burglary, and
while in jail confessed that he and Kauff-
man committed the deed, actuated by a
desire to secure few hundred dollars
Audman was known to have about the
house. 1t required no trouble to locate
Kaufman near Mobile, where he was
superintende nt Of a plantation. When
Sheriff Logan secured Kaufman in Ala
bama said that tho negro @ i'd the work
but denied any part in it himself.
The case of j ohm T. Jarmans, admins
traitor, against the Chesapeake 81 Ohio
railroad for $4,000 damages, was con-
cluded in the circuit court at Lexington,
Saturday, the jury giving verdict fer
$4,000 for the plaintiff
The Norfolk county truckers say the
rains are rotting the Irish potatoes in
the ground and that the last two cold
spells hurt the green pea and cabbage
crops seriously. Should freeze catch
the present flooded condition of the
lands, peas and cabbage will be badly
cut Off. The period ofanxlety and hard
work now commences with the truckers.
The Gazette's correspondent was in
formed a week or ten days ago. the day
after it occurred, of the interview be-
tween Senator Hill and Representative
O'Ferrall, which was given to the press
here yesterday, but deemed it private
affair AMI did not allude to it The in
terview, as published, is greatly exag-
gerated, though the senator did say, in
talking to FREUD about 1t, that he had
rarely met such gen tle1nan as Mr..
O'Ferrall. The interview took place in
the pensions committee room, into which
bpo soudIor WAS luVlG6u TO walt until
Mr.. O'Ferrall, whom he was seeking.
should pass by on his way to the room
of his own committee. The senator,
having personal knowledge that some
votes were thrown out at Elmira. wanted
to inform Mr.. O. Ferrall of that fact, and
also TO tell him of some New York de-
cisions bearing upon the confessed cleo
Jion case of the demo cratic congressman
from that district whose seat Is being
contested by republican, and this he
did: but Mr.. O'Ferrall told him that he,
O'Ferrall, was judge in the case referred
to, and that if he should decide uniustly
the blood would be on his hands. There
was no excitement, at least, so it ap-
peared to the several reliable witnesses,
on the part Of either the senator or
representive, and through each at
tempted to sustain his own views, they
did SO quietly and without the slightest
visible appearance of anything like vio-
lence.--Alex. Gazette.
