shotguns made him descend in jiffy.
Fastened With Iron.
Without more ado the negro was then
made secure to the stump with iron
fastenings, and kerosene was poured
literally over him. A shout went up
Let his victim apply the match 81 Let
Mrs. Jewell set the fire." In response
to the call Mrs. Jewell emerged from
the crowd. and her appearance was
greeted with cheers which almost shook
the ground. The crowd fell back at her
approach, making pathway for her.
Leaning upon the arm OF a male
relative on either side, Mrs. Jew
ell walked unhesitatingly forward to
where the negro stood pinioned, struck
parlOr match with her own haTal and
with perfect deliberation fired the
negro's clothes in two places. In Sec

consuming flames, but even in death his
wonderful nerve, exhibited ever since
his capture, never forsook MIN, and
while suffering the tortures of fire he
actually called to the men of the assem-

them: Move back, so that the ladies

pending his horrible death in the flames,
except to groan and grunt, and died in
about twenty minutes after the appli-
cation of the torch.
The crowd which actually witnessed
the burning could not have been less
than 1000, and was probably 5000.
Only about twenty minutes before Coy
was led out to eXeeu tiou the Republics
correspondent was accorded an inter-
view with him. The negro said he be-
lieved that he was going to be put TO
death, but was innocent of the crime.
His denial was, however. given in such
a manner IS carried, conviction of
guilt with it. While the event
is confessedly horrible affair,
it is justified by large majority of the
people of this section, on the ground
that desperate disease requires an
heroic remedy. and that hanging has
not as great terror for the average negro
as death by fire. Quite a number of
persons favored hanging, but these were
in hopeless minority, and were easily
ridden down by those whose desire it
was to strike terror to the hearts of
negroes by making Coy an awful ex-
ample, and these thought fire the only
proper instrument as death. Tonight
everything is comparatively quiet. and
no trOubleOuS results are feared. The
negroes generally favored hanging. but
have little fault to find that fire was re-
sorted to,

LUvERNE, Feb. 20. Attorney Cen
eral Clapp has been asked to begin quo
warranto proceedings to test G. w.
Millhouse's title to the Office of village
trustee. This is part of the war in the
village council, growing out of the con-
struction of our water works. The
council has stood to on all questions
for several months. One Of the major
ity desired to resign, and a special
meeting of the council was called dur
ing the absence from town of one of the
minority. The resignation was accepted
and Mr.. Millhouse was elected to the
vacancy. The minority now make the
point that special meetings can only be
called by written notice signed by two
members of the council and filed with
the recorder as the law provides, which
was not done in this case, nor could it
have been done, as the recorder was the
absent member. Nor has a special
meeting of the council been held for
years which had been called in accord
ance with the legal requirements. The
quo warranto proceedings can hardly
be completed before the present coun-
Gil goes out of office.

Ice jam Busted in the Allegheny

PARKER, Pa, Feb. 20.-The great ice
gorge which has caused feelings of ap-
prehension along the Allegheny river
from East Brady to Emlenton, a dis

passed out. The water rose rapidly,
inundating the upper end of Parker
and several houses on the banks wer.
washed away, but the occupants ha
deserted them before the food came
Beyond this, no damage was done. The
Allegheny river is now comparatively
clear of ice, but the Clarion is still
gorged, and the people will not rest
easy until it is also clear. The water is
nineteen feet and rising every minute,
and grave fears are entertained that
with the breaking of the Clarion gorge
the fats or entire lower portion of the
town will be flooded. A dispatch from
Brady's bend reports that the gorge at
that point broke at :05 this morning,
and all the ice in the Allegheny river is

Pencil Sketch of the Patron of the Kent Bill
IFrom the Idle Reporters sketches in the
Rich mOnd DiSnatch.l

from the Idle Reporters sketches in the
Richmond Dispatch
Perhaps no question which has absorbed
the attention of the Virginia Legislature has
caused more discussion and brought forth
more argument than the Kent railroad bill.
Almost every merchant, farmer and polite
ian has talked about it, and yet, doubtless.
not one third of them know anything person.
ally about the patron Of the measure. And
still he is one Of the ableSt and most striking
men in the House of Delegates. If you drop
into the large hall where the legislators sit
some morning and see a fne-lOOking old gen.
tleman somewhere in the neighborhood of So,
with silver hair and classic, clean-shaven
features, you can set it down as being Major
Robert c. Kent, of Wytheville. the patron of
the now famous bill. Should you be intro
duced to him you would find in him man of
dignified bearing, elegant manners, and mag
nificent education. If perchance you were
lucky enough to hear him speak you would
listen to finished oratOr-a man familiar
with the classics, mythology, history, politl-
cal economy, and every other subject. Major
Kent always dresses in black, and his clothes
fit him excellently. He always wears Prince
Albert coat, which adds greatly to his digni-
fed appearance. But the most remarkable
thing about him is his striking resemblance
sees him says: "Why he reminds ME of some
old fellow Of the Colonial times!'' 1 have
often wondered what it was about him which
creates this impression. 1t NAV be owing to
his dignity of bearing, OF his gent1emanly
manners, or, perhaps, his handsome, clean
shaven face, but at any rate he always re
calls the patriots of Washington's day. At
any rate, the Major is one of the purest types
of Virginia gentleman that ever l have seen.

does not lose single crop for want OF mac
adamized roads. Our city folks, doctors

The Virginia name of Tucker is associated

The latest Virginian of the name to diStin-
guish himself is Henry st. George Tucker, son

second term in the House. He is less than
forty years old, is graduate of Washington
and Lee University, and very promising
man. The able and comprehensive report
printed in The World on the bill providing
for the election of United States Senators by
a direct vote of the people is largely the work
of Mr.. Tucker, and is highly commended by
leading lawyers Of the House.
Mr. fuckers home is at Staunton. a college

strong, and it is likely that he will spend
many years in public life. While close stu
dent and with the tastes of the trained law
yer he is fond of society and is most compan-

distinguished father, whom he resembles
strongly in appearance and in cordial and
engaging manner which wins for him many

mittees on Public Lands and Election of
President and Vice-President, both of which
assignments are in the line of his profession
and insure to the House excellent employ
ment of his talents and attainments.
