The best lesson of many rich mems
lives is the incapacity OF enormous
wealth to bring with it any happIn ess
or honor in proportion to its vast
amount There is no advantage or
entertainment in the possession OF
wealth that grossly exceeds the capac-
ity OF the owner to enjoy. Beyond
the mere sense of power which great
wealth brings. a man is far happier
with million than with twenty mil
lions To men who are not philan-
thropists and do not enjoy the orgaui-
zation and conduct of benevolent en-
terprises enormous wealth means only
an opportunity for the unbridled in
dulgence of animal tastes. or If the
man is not sensual. it means a life

FAIRFAX CoURrHoUsF. March 26.-lSpecial.l
Fuller details can now be given of the shoot
ing of the negro Hill by Mr.. G. j.. Campbell.
Mr. Campbell is the proprietor OF several nun
dred acres Of land a few miles from falis
Church. and divides his time between his
farm and this city. where he is engaged in
business. lie was in Washington Thursday
morning and was a spectator at the Demo-
cratic convention held at Albaugh's. In the
afternoon he was returning to his home near
Falls Church. and as he was driving through
the latter place he was stopped by A. j. Hi
and another cOlored man named Brice.
The colored men from all accounts had
grievance against Campbell. owing to the
latter having made derOgatory remarks about
them. Mr. Campbell and his foreman had
gone 10 law through differences about farm
affairs. and Hill had given testimony which
was favorable 10 the foreman. This had
angered Campbell aud caused him to make
dsparaging remarks about the character OF
Hill.
When accosted at Falls Church, Mr. Camp
bell. who is sixty years of age. started 10
drive of. but Hill. il is said. called to him
twice 70 stop, which he did. and then the
colored man exclaimed Il Understand you
have accused me OF doing you au INJUSTICE
and being dishonest toward you." Mr.. camp
bell replied holly he didn't care to have
ANYTHING 10 do with HILL as the
latter was a scoundre, or words to that effect.
AT this Hill seized Campbell and attempted TO
pull him out Of the buggy. the old gentle
mans hat falling of in the scuiiie. Failing TO
get Mr.. Campbell out of the buggy. Hill
struck him twice in the face and then Camp
bell. fearing his lite was in danger, drew his
revolver and fired twice, one shot taking
effect in Hills abdomen.
After the shooting Mr.. Campbell drove. TO
his home. and soon afterward a large number
of colored people Of Falls Church organized
and proceeded 10 Campbells residence, bent
on iynching him. They surrounded the
house and made threats that they would
shoot Campbell through tho window.
Young lady visitor at the Campbell home
heard the threats and with admirable courage
went outside on the steps and by her words
and determination dissuaded the mob from
carrying out their purpose.
At this iuncture Sheriff SOles arrived from
Fairfax Courthouse and Mr.. Campbell will
inply surrendered stating that he was about
to live himself up TO the sheriff.
The sheriff. with his prisoner. drove 70
Fairfax Courthouse where Campbell IS still
IN custody. IL was feared early yesterday
morning that the negroes would make another
attempt 10 lynch Campbell. but up 10 late
hour last night no attack had been made.
