The Leech Murder.

The sensational murder of ]. Gran
vile Leech, one of the wealthiest and
best known citizens of Rockbridge
county, near Goshen, Virginia, has
created a great stir all through that
section, and as the days go by without
the apprehension of the murderer ex-
element increases. Many suggestions
are made as to the cause of the murder,
but it is generally agreed that there is
woman in the case, and the theory
that she proved Delilah to him is ap-
parently. well sustained, while from
outside appearances the officers are
working on that line. Mr.. Leech was
widower of fine appearance, and, as
has been established, had warm friends
who were not on a social equality with
their sisters in the high society in which,
on account of his wealth and family,
Mr.. Leech was warmly received. 1t
was suggested on the scene of the muir
der that Leech had gone to fill an en-
gagement at the gate, three-quarters of
a mile from his brothers house, and
was enticed there by the woman who,
in company with a more constant
friend, saw the fatal shot fired. This
theory seems to be borne out by Leech's
horse being tied seventy-five yards
from the gate, in the underground, and
his hat near by. The fact that he left
his brothers house in the face of q
threatening storm would give him an
excuse to return within an hour. The
coroner's inquest disclosed the fact that
the bullets were all fired on level.
Hence he could not have been shot
from his horse, while it is believed that
the first shot struck him in the spine.
The murdered mans wealth will permit
of the expense ola detective, who will
at once, if not already at work, under
take to unrayel the mystery.
Letcher Kennedy,.a farmer, was ar
rested on Wednesday, the authorities
believing that he knew something of
the crime. He was given hearing
before a magistrate at Goshen, and hav-
ing proved an alibi and an excellent
character was discharged.

THE NORTHERN iron manufacturers

THE NORTHERN iron manufacturers
have had to make reduction in the
price of their product ii order to COM
pete in the market with their rivals in
the South, who, by reason of superior
natural facilities, are enabled to carry
on business at less expense. So supe-
rior are the facilities referred to that
the iron industry could be conducted
prolitably in the South without any
other protection than that afforded by
the Atlantic ocean. On the contrary
were it not for the tariff iron could not
be made in the North at q profit, and
the manufacturers there would be com
PEELED TO move thcirp plants to the South,
in order to continue their business, and
in Il short time the southern States
would become the great iron store
house of the world. But for all this
there are people in the South who favor
the high tariff.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, July S.-Three

upon while standing upon street cor
ner about 1:3O o'clock this morning.
The police investigated but could find
nobody in the vicinity likely to
have done the firing. A mass meeting
OF colored citizens and white republi-
can club passed resolutions last night
condemning the action of the negroes
in organizing the mob, assuring them
that the prisoner in Jail would be pro-
tected and counseling them to refrain
from any further demonstrations.
About 500 men are still under arms
but only as a matter ofprecaution. The
negroes generally are quiet.
