IN MYsTERY.

The crime with which the prisoner is
charged is d very mysterious one. In fact,
there many circumstances TO indicate That
the drowning OF the unfortunate men was
accidental, though the p~repopderance OF
evidence points to a cold-blooded. delibe-
rate murder. Nicholas. Mills, and Wilkinson
all lived on the premises OF the old Wick
ham place, which is near Lorraine station,
on the Richmond and Allegheny railroad,
about thirteen miles from Richmond. On
the dav when the deceased met their death
they went out IN a boat with the
accused TO take a bee-tree. which
was on the other side OF the river. Later
in the afternoon Nicholas returned
home, dripping with water. and announced
that his comrades were drowned. lie SAID
that while they were in the skill the boat
suddenly began filing with water and as
they could not bail it out fast enough the
trio Jumped out into the river with the
intention of swimming ashore. Mills and
wilkinson were drowned and their bodies
were recovered several days afterwards by
divers who went up from Richmond.
Investigation showed that several augur-
holes had been made In the bottom OF the
boat and that the corks with which these
we're stopped were at the time OF the
drowning either accidentally or mail
ciously displaced. thus letting in the water.
The prisoner. III his account or the ca
t%astrophe. stated that he had saved HIM
self with the greatest difficulty, and that
when he last saw the W men they were
swimming after him.

Another Way of Getting Fork.

Last Sunday morning just before day.
break thieves broke into the cattle-pens of
Well Hellstern. which are located on the
suburbs of the city. and carried on Pine
live hogs, valued at S125. Captain James
NJ. Tyler, the detective, was detailed to
work up the case. and a few hour after
the theft was committed he arrested a ne
gro named John Booker, who lives on ba-
con's-Ouarter branch. All Of the pigs
were found on the premises OF the pri-
soner. Two had been killed. Another
darky named Joseph Harris was arrested
on the charge of being an accessory to the
crime. The Henrico authorities are on
the lookout for another man who - sup
posed TO DO connected with the case.

A Child Radfy Hurt.

A fye.year-old colored child named
Richard Draper. who lived in the rear of
No. 211I east Main street. was badly burn
ed yesterday by the explosion Of a lot Of
powder. The little one had the dangerous
compound in q bottle and was playing
with 1t at the time the accident occurred.
The explosion was caused by a match
which the child struck, causing Q spark to
fy into the powder.
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1893-03-14

The motive of the supposed crime lies in
the fact hat the accused was on very intl-
mate terms with Mrs. Mills, who lived in
the same house with him, and the testl-
mony before the COroner's jury showed
that Nicholas and Mills were not the best
OF friends. As far as eau be learned the
prisoner and Wilkinson were very ami
cably disposed toward each other,
and here the Commonwealth hnds q
missing link IN the chain of clrcumstantlal
evidence which points to Nicholas as the
murderer of the two men. As q whole,
the case is something of a tangie and has
two most decided yet conflicting aspects
one indicating that the accused Is luno-
cent and the other implying that he Is
guilty. At any rate. the presence OF the
two holes in the boat point to foul play.
and if Nicholas did not bore them some
one else certainly did, and the Common
wealth will seek to fud out vino this per-
son i.
Mrs. Mills has admitted her intimacy
with the accused. but the prisoner stoutly
denies that he is guilty of the crime with
which he il charged.

TAKEN ro rae CIRCUIT C0URr.

After Nicholas had been arraigned
Messrs. Richardson and Smith made a
motion to nave the case removed TO the
Circuit Court for trial, and their request
was granted by Judge Minor. This Will
necessitate its -postponement for several
months, as the next term OF the Circuit
Court will not until some time
in May. II was not the intention OF the
prisoners counsel to take this course, but
as several of the witnesses for the defence
were lacking and the lawyers had been IN
formed that another continuance would be
allowed, they were compelled 70 seek some
way by which Nicholas could be allowed
the greatest leniency of the law. ,
The yeniremen who were summoned
were oil, OF course, discharged.

TRIAL OF NICHOLAS.
THE CASE CALLED AND REMOVED TO
THE CIRCUIT COURT.
This Course Taken Because Of the Alb
seuce OF witnessss-Ths supposed
Crime and Its Motive.

The case of Phillip Norman Nicholas.
the white man charged with the murder
OF James Mills and William Judson VIII
kinson, who were drowned in the James
river on December Sth. came up for trial
in the Henrico County Court yesterday at
noon.
Judge E. C. Minor presided. and the
prosecution was represented by Common
wealth's-Attorney Sands and Dir. George
Carter. Messrs. ID. G. Richardson and H..
NJ. Smith appeared as counsel for the &C.
cused. The courtroom was packed with
spectators, as the case has excited great
interest throughout the county, and many
OF the most prominentresidents of Henrico
were in the crowd.
Inc appearance of the prisoner has
changed considerably since his arrest.
When be was first taken into custody he
wore q beard and was greatly .su~nburned.
but confinement has caused him to be-
come quite pale. aud one would scarcely
recognize him now. He looks rather bag
gard, and as he has shaved of his whiSkers
| and only wears q moustache his face APP
pears 10 be a great deal thinner. when
Clerk Waddill read the two indictments
charging him with the awful crime the ac-
cused rose IN his seat without the slightest
sign of agitation.
A large number of witnesses at least
forty-fye-were summoned TO appear IN
the case. Nearly all of these were present,
but the three women, Mrs. Mills. Mrs.
Wilkinson, and Mrs. Duke, whose testii-
mony. It is thought. will throw so mucn
light upon the mystery, were all absent.

IN GREAT GLEE.

Senator Sherman, in an interview
with Frank 6. Carpenter at Mans
field, Ohio, on the oath instant, looks
for better times for himself and other
farmers in the immediate future.
He says the hay crop in Europe is
very short and hay worth in France
$40 per ton. He gleefully remarked /:
THE crops are phenomenalla large
in America. | am getting more hay
off my land here than ever before
and expect to have at least twenty
tons.''

WILL PAY In FULL.

Several mass meetings, held to dis
cuss the silver problem and to pro-
test against the unconstitutional re-
peal of the SHERMAN law, in various
parts of the country have taken par
ticular pains to resolve that they in
tend to pay their creditors in full,
whatever may be the fate of silver.
This is done doubtless to escape the
charge of being regulators. But is
it not better to be honest with their
creditors and themselves and speak
the truth and proclaim to all that it
will be utterly impossible for them to
met their obligations if that colossal
SQUAD of putrescent govt at Wash
ington, obeying the commands OF the
clipped cupon clippers, shall succeed
in bulldozing congress into perma-
nently demonetizing silver and elimi-
mating it from our already con-
tracted stock of money. There is
not school boy or girl in America
advanced beyond the multiplication
table who cannot demonstrate that
there is not enough gold coin in the
world to pay two per cent of the
worlds debts, and not enough in our
country to pay but fraction OF two
per cent OF the debts OF the debtor
classes. Let the demand be; save US
from enforced reputation by restor-
ing silver to its former American
position as a money metal, thus Civ
ing us more money.

THE END OF THE WORLD.

Camille Flammarion argues from
astronomical principles that the
world will come to an end In ten
million years by freezing up. We
don't believe it. This theory disputes
the biblical fact of an endless lake OF
LIQUID fire and damnation for the
endless punishment OF the damned.
We don't believe the economies OF
heaven will let the goldbug contrac-
tionists off so easily. We will wait
and see.

The senate is ten, at least, in
majority against the unconditional
repeal Of the Sherman law, and adj
vices from the East state that sena-
tors from the North and South are
