LINGO'S SECOND TRIAL
Mrs. Miller's Alleged Slayer
Again in Court.
SAME LINE OF DEFENSE ADOPTED.

1t Is BASED on the Theory That the
Womau's Husband Killed Her--MilIeI
on the StRnd--Story of the Crime and
Previous Trial.
CAMDEN, Nov S.-The second trial OF
Francis Lingo, colored, for the murder Of
Mrs. Annie Miller. near Merchantville
N. j., is now in progress here.
The murder was committed on Sept 25,
1S00-over two years ago The murdered
woman was the wife of John Miller, q
farmer living near Merchantville. She
had walked to Moorestown, and was re
turning to her home by short cut
through the brush. She was seen to en-
ter the woods and at about the same hour
far distant. Next day the woman's dead
body was found. She had been assaulted
and murdered.
Lingo was Immediately arrested, and
in March, 1891, after trial of sixteen
days, was convicted of murder. His
counsel carried the case to the Supreme
Court, and it was heard by Judge Beas-
ley, who made remarkable decision.
He announced verbally from the bench
that the application for a new trial was
denied, yet within ten days he filed a
VIII granting new Trial. ne transferred
it from the criminal courts and put it on
the Supreme Court calendar, to be tried
by Judge Garrison. Since then Richard
S. Jenkins, who prosecuted at the first
trial, and Dr. Formal, who gave expert
medic testimony, have died.
Lingo pleaded not guilty yesterday. A
jury was secured during the day, and the
trial begun. The only witness put on
the stand was John Miller, the murdered
woman's husband.
1t will be remembered that at Lingo's
previous trial the defense was that Miller
killed his wife, and the same line of de-
Tense will be adopted at the present trial.
Miller detailed his search for his wife on
the night of the murder and the follow
ing day, ending with the discovery of her
dead body by party of men.

aud the train running at terrific speed,
crashed into the first wreck, completing
a blockade of three tracks.

cab and was badly crushed. He was
taken out few minutes later and sent to
his home ON Allegheny avenue
The fireman, whose name and residence
was not learned, jumped from the cab
just before the engine struck the wreck
and was badly hurt by falling on the
ties.
The engine of No. 1 express was entire
ly demolished while the con tents of the
broken cars were scattered around over
\ great deal of ground.
The passengers in each of the express
trains were badly shaken up and many
of them rushed out on the tracks in their
night clothes.
Some of them received slight injur les

The Navajo Chief Refuses to Allow Indian
Children to Go to School.
WASHINGTON, Nov Sd. l.. Shipley,
United States Indian Agent, from Fort
Defiance, A. T., under date of October 80,
telegraphed Commissioner Morgan, of the
Bureau of Indians, that while on visit
to Round Rock to secure Navajo children
for the Indian school on the reservation
he and his party were intercepted by
Black Horse, the chief adviser of the
Navajoes and forty followers, who re-
fused to allow the children to be taken to
the agency school although the parents
consent had been obtained.
When told by the agent that sooner or
later the children would be compelled to
attend school, Black Horse and several
of his party laid violent hands on him,
intending to kill him, but friendly Nav
ajoes interfered.
At the same time a scout in Agent
Shipley's party was assaulted and beaten
go severely that his condition is critical
Under threat of being killed, and pow
erless to defend themselves, Agent Ship
ley and party promised Black Horse that
they would ask for no more children
from that part of the reservation for in
struction in the schools
Agent Shipley requests the aid of
troops to force Black Horse and his follow
ers to give up the children.
Commissioner Morgan in discussing
the occurrence to-day, said that there were
8, 200 Indian children of school age and
they have a government boarding school
on the reservation which is well-equipped,
comfortable, and the agent has been in
structed to fill the school with childre n
in accordance with the law.

Whether statesmen govern nations,
Or dollars mould our fate,
Matters not to the woman true
Who rules her home in state;
Enthroned in the heart of her family,
She at her best is seen,
For one and all acknowledge there
She is mother, wife and queen.
When sorrow comes we seek her,
If in pain we find relief,
From her counsel and her wisdom,
Expressing the honest belief
That every family ought to know
What we would teach every mother,

AOrIET CAMPAIGN.

The Philadelphia Record comments on
the wonderful quiet of the present cam
paicn. and it remarks that although not
quite seven weeks before the election, The
campaign continues rs free from excite
ment as if it had just begun. Even in
Maine and Vermont although the Repub-
icans spent money freely, and did every
thing TO arouse the voters, they refused
to be shaken out of their lethargy, and
both States though considered rock
ribbed Republican, failed to come up
with anything ike their usual majorities.
1t is worthy of note in this connection
that though these two Radical States
seemed to be possessed of a fatal apathy,
Arkansas aroused herself with renewed
activity and poled even more than her
Usual vote although Weaver and Field
made extra exertions, and declared posi-
lively that the people were with them,
and they would carry the State.
We believe that our contemporary hits
the nail squarey on the head when it
says that the reason for this unusual
and remarkable quiet is that the people
fully understand both the personal at
tributes of the candidates, and the issues
Of the campaign.
AS to the candidates themselves, both
have before been before the country and
both have served in the White House as
President of the United States. Nothing
is to be said of either of them personally
which the voters do not already know,
and the people, therefore, have made up
their minds which of the two they prefer
10 entrust with the reins OF government
in November.
As TO the issues before the country the
people are certainly familiar with them.
They have tried Mckinleyism for over
two years, and they know by experience
pretty well what that means. They have

A recent issue Of the National Republi-
can of Washington, d. c., contains the
following editorial article:
with the Lodge National Election
law in full force over the South and yarl-
GUS Democratic strOneholds up North
we may confidently look for different
state of political affairs than now exists.
New York city will then return several
more Republican Congressman than at
present while more than twenty negro
representatives from the South viii rem
der the Republican control of the future
Congress absolutely safe and secure.
Heavy taxes should be laid upon the
prOpcrty of the whites to develop and eX-
tend the public school system of these
States. Separate schools for the two
races should be abolished, and the plan
of bringing the youth of both cOlOrs into
close and equal relation in schools and
churches given a fair trial. as one OF the
most potent elements to break down the
destestable BourbOnsm Of the South.
The State laws against the lntcr-marrl-
age Of the races should be repealed. and
any discrimination against the blacks IN
the matter of learning trades or Obtain
ing employment should be a criminal OF
fcnse-whilc the colOred mans rights 20
hold Office Should be sacrcdly protected
and recognized. A few years of this
policy will solve the race problem salts
factorily."
The National Republican is n Rcpubli-
can paper and IN ardent advocate of the
election of Harrison. Ard this IS the
feast to which the Republicans and
Third party men of Virginia invite us to
sit down. We ore to have twenty negro
congressman from the South and thus

for all ume We are to be taxed be
vond endurance to raise funds for negro
schools. Separate schools are to be
abolished ard our daughters forced 10

little negro misses 81 this Is to come
from electing Harrison and thus putting
the Force bill upon us.
And it is to this that the Third party
ncople are inviting us here in Virginia.
They will have Weaver and Field to play
ot the game of President making that
the South may be brought under the
opcration Of the Force till-that our pro
pcrtv may all be coniScated; that our
children. boys and girls, may be
brought up in intimacy with negro chill
dren: that our wives and daughters may
be hustled on the streets by negro police

oe;c;ont chairman of the Democratic COM
mittee Of Virginia, is leaving no stone I'M

boIiover in the virtues of organization

automatically organized that, II posslpie'
everv county shall be in close touch win

strength of the party at any locality'
where it is strongest and where II 10
weakest and most in need of help.
Tho main reliance OF our chairman for
ACCOMPLISHING this is through clubs. lie
l. in favor of the formation of local clubs
in every county and in every precinct.
Then he proposes to establish collateral
club organization, with headquarters IN
Charlottesville, which is to work with the
committee. In this way he expects TO
perfect thorough organization in every
congressional district and county. and to
keep them closely connected with the com
mittce itself.
This collateral club organization VIII
be under charge of Mr.. Jefferson VI.
Levy, a gentleman who is the present
owner Of Monticello, the home of the i'm
mortal Thomas jefferson. the very walls
of which must be imbued with the spirit
Of the principles Of Democracy. Mr.. Levy
has had great and unusual experience IN
this line. having held a similar position
in New York He is also an ardent
Democrat. and feels the livelest interest
in keeping Virginia free from the con-
tamination Of Republicanism and its close
ally, Third partyism. He will throw his
whole soul in the work in which he Is en-
gagged. and no doubt his services will
prove incstmaby beneficial to the De
mocracy of the State in the pending cam
paign.
Mr.. Levy is now prepared to enter ac-
lively upon his duties, and invites CORE
spondence and cooperation throughout
Virginia. All communications in relation
to literature, &c, connected with clubs
should be addressed to him or his secre-
tary, Captain W. II. Fowle, Charlottes-
vile. II is sincerely hoped the clubs and
other Democratic organizations in all sec
tons of the State will at once open com
munication with him. If they will, they
will find it of immense advantage to

Of Virginia.
