ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE AND VIRGINIA ADVERTISER
Loves 100000 Flight.

With $4,000 worth of alienated afiec-
ton at stake before l judge and jury,
the capacity of room E of Common
Pleas Court No. 8, where President
Judge Finletter opened the October
session of jury trials, was on Monday
severely tested by q crowd of people,
chiefly women. They had gathered at
the trial of the suit of Jacob 5. GILBERT
son against Dr. Joseph r. Mansfield, OF
Germantown Mrs Culbertson's atiec-
ton was alleged to be the particular
alien in the case.
Mrs. Culbertson, who appeared in
court with her mother and father and a
large number of friends, is an attractive
looking woman of slim figure, which
was partly enycloped in drcssy braid
ed cloak, and with pretty face shaded
by daintil y-trimmed bonnet.
Lawyer John C. Bell, in opening the
sensational case for the injured husband,
recited the previously published story
of II wedding in the centennial year OF
'76 of a couple as happy as doves for
three years and OF the waning of ro-
nance from their lives when, early IN
1880, the couple went to dwell at DR..
Manstield's Chelton avenue mansion, III
Germantown, where Mr. and Mrs. Hofi-
man kept house for the physician. The
doctors attentions to the wife, the hus-
bands angry quarrel and departure;
their reconciliation in fortnight and
return down town to live together-all
these incidents were dwelt upon.
The wifes frequent all-night visits on
Sundays and Fridays. first ostensibiy to
see her parents, at the doctors home !;
then, after their removal, very late
visits, sometimes lasting till almost mid
night, were described. Thus affairs
were brought down to a day in March
last. when the unsuspecting husband,
who had driven out with Mir. Ierkes,
friend, made Il startling discovery.
Stopping at a drinking place on Column
bia avenue, he was given q pointer"
by Mr.. Miller, who happened to be
there.
The saloon disclosure led 1Ir. Cul-
bertson to hunt up and watch private
office or scquestered retreat OF DR..
Mansfield, away back behind the shrub
berry Of n low wooden porch and sur
rounded by other buildings, in Nice
town. To this house. on the night Of
April 10 last, Mr.. Culbertson, accom-
panied by Captain Sam Yoder. detec-
tive, and by Mr.. Yerkes, traced his
wife.
The men saw Mrs. Culbertson de-
scend from n street car on Germantown
avenue about three squares above the
house, walk down the street Il square
on one side and then square on the
other, then doubling on her track. again
cross tie street and enter the house. The
men tried the doors andfound themlock
ed, an finally, after Mr.. Culbertson had
broken Il window, and Captain Yoder
had used his dark lantern, they sue
ceeded in obtaining sufficient evidence
for Mr.. Culbertson TO bring the suit.
Mr.. Culbertson alleged that DR.. Mans
field hal -,,cccededin totally alternating
NIrs. Cuibertson's affections. These
facts, and more, were brought out in
testimony Monday, although much of
the story remains untold, as. by Il legal
technicality, neither Mr.. nor Mrs. Cul
bertson was allowed to testify. The
trial is still in progress.

THE BELL CHARMED THE SNAKE
Mrs. d. NJ. Madden, of Denison, Tex,
is lady of nerve. Yesterday after
noon her little girl Mary, aged . years,
was seated on the ground under tree
playing with a tin hoop, to which were
attached bells. The noise of the bells
attracted large blacksnake, which
crawled to the feet of the child and
stretched at full length, with its head
on her left foot. The jingle Of the bells
seemed to charm it, for the snake closed
its eyes ard was motionless. Mrs.
Madden saw the snake. She did not
scream for assistance, as most women
would have done under the circum-
stances. She darted TO the child, grab
bed the snake by the tail and hurled it
through the air. The peculiar music
of the bells had evidently placed the
snake under q spell, as it did not move
until it felt the touch of Mrs. Madden's
hand.

THE CIVILIZED world regrets to hear
of the poet Tennyson's fatal illness, and
will mourn his death, when announced,
for, while by no means the greatest OF
the English laureates, he has certainly
not been the worst. and some of his
poems will last as long as the literature
of his country shall exist. He has out
lived all of his contemporaries except
Mr. Gladstone, who was born in the

Commander Evans. Of the q. S steamer
Yorktown. states that new and very
violent volcano eruptcd on the Alaskan
peninsula in about latitude 56' north,
longitude 1852 20> west. The noise OF
the eruption, which took place during
the last week of August, was hea I'd ut
distance of 80 miles, and the cloud of
ashes and cinders was so dense attn dis
lance of $50 miles at sea that the ST cam
err St. Paul was compelled to lighi her
lamps at ten o'clock in the morning.
Her decks were covered with ashes to
such an extent that many buckctsful
were swept up and thrown overheard.
No loss Of life or property from the eX-
plosion had been heard of ut the date OF

TERRIBLE DEATH.-Saturday even
ing between 6 and 7 o'clock a west
bound freight train on the Norfolk and
Western railroad ran over and killed
Miss Annie Lee. the pretty 1S-year-old
daughter of Mr.. Martin Lee, Of Apo
mattox county, at Glover's Crossing,
several miles from her parents home.
1t appears that Miss Lee deliberately
suicided. The engineer states that he
was running at a very high rate OF
speed and was very near the young
lady when he first saw her. She WIS
standing little removed from the rail
but not clear OF danger. He thought
nothing of her peril because it was not
uncommon to discover persons near the
track who remained there until the
train was very near them.
1t isreported that the train was with
in few yards of the young lady when
she sprang into the middle of the track,
facing the approaching train, and met
boldly the awful death. She was caught
under the engines pilot and dragged
about fifty years, scvering her head and
mangling her body beyond recognition.
Her remains were strewn about the
track for some distance, and were found
and taken up with difficulty. They
were placed in goods box and taken
to Appomattox Station, where the coro-
ner viewed them, postponing an inquest
until to-day.
1t was not until yesterday afternoon
that the remains were identified as
those of Miss Lee. The tragic death is
enshrouded in mystery, inasmuch as no
reason can be assigned for Miss Lees
suicide; and on the other hand, if it
was not suicide the question as to what
she was doing so far away and alone
from home on the railroad arises.
The unfortunate young lady is report
ed as having been very comely bru-
nette of excellent mind.

Gen. MALONE, the acknowledged
chief of the Virginia republicans, says
the republicans are so cheated and bull
dozed by the democrats that there is no
use in their voting, under the existing
election laws of the State. Langston,
the negro republican ex-Consrcssman
from the Generals own district, says
he, Langston, declined q denomination
because Malone and all his political
machinery opposed me on the ground
of my color, and determined, by con
spiracy, % defeat nc by fraudulent ma
nipulation of any vote, however large,
that might be cast for me-" So Ma
hone says the democrats cheat and bull
doze, and Langston says Malone con
spires and resorts to fraudulent manip-
ulation. Both are utterly unreliable
but most people who know them would
in the particular matter referred to, be
disposed to give credence TO the latter

FLORIDA is another one OF the States
which, according to General Weaver,
General Field, Mrs. Lease and Mr..
Beverley. were cock sure for the third
party. Well, an election was held
there yesterday, and all the votes the
third partyites could poll in the whole
entire State hardly numbered six
thousand. The strength of the third
party in the South is composed solely
of gab. Southern white people have
common sense, and no matter where
born, if they have any interest in the
welfare of the section in which they
live, they are not going to risk it by
voting to make the passage of the Force
bill possible, and it is absurd to sup
pose they will.

ONE OF the third party speakers at
Warrenton not long since was proved
by Mr.. Livingston of Georgia to be ut
terly ignorant Of the platform Of his
own party, and another one at Lynch
burg day or two ago told his audience
that if there should be no election Of
President by the people, the U.
S. Senate would elect General Field.
If he had ever read the Constitution OF
the country he wou'd have known that
General Fields name can never
come before the Senate, as that body
can only choose a Vice-Prcsident from
the two who have received the greatest
number of electoral votes, and nobody
supposcs that the General will receive
more of such votes than either Mr.
Harrison or D1r. Reid. But ignorance
and assurance usually 90 together.
