Effects of Recent Decisions.

The cases recently tried and determined in
the Circuit Court establish that companies
that admit the drawing of lots Of unequal
value violate the law, as their transactions are
of the nature of lottery; and the result is,
that those who have subscribed to their stock,
but have not paid anything, cannot be required
to pay, as they were not participants in the
lottery, and that those who have paid cannot
recover from the companies what they have
paid because they were participants with the
company in the violation of the law. These
decision will prevent the institution of many
suits which otherwise would have burdened
the dockets of the court
The principle which applies to gambling APP
plies to lotteries-if you pay nothing in you
cannot be made to pay anything: and if you
pay in and lose, you cannot recover your loss
by law

A Quiet non.partIsan canvass.

Though we are on the eve of an important
city election in which there are many candi-
dates for election to the various offices to be
filled, yet there is no excitement, though con-
siderable interest, and up to this time, so far
as the election is concerned, the city is as
silent as a chamber. There is nothing
to disturb the temper or to bias the judgment
of the voters, and if they do not elect cool Of
ficers for the city government, it must be eth
er for the want of merit in the candidates, or
want of capacity in the voters to make wise
selections
As the offices to he filled are not political.
but merely ministerial, The citizens have wise
ly determined to elect them, not with refer
ence to their political views, but simply to
their characters and capacities for the efficient
| and faithful discharge of the duties of the re
spective offices for which they are candidates.
In this way the best available officers can be
chosen, if the voters will exercise their best
judgments for the interests of the city, as we
believe they will. This is not a canvass in
Which any one will feel it incumbent upon
him to vote for an Objectionable candidate be-
cause he is the nominee of his political party,
for there are no party nominees, and the re-
suit will not be- triumph of one political party,
nor the defeat of another-the success and de-
feat will be merely personal. affecting merely
the candidates as individuals.
This canvass will furnish all example,
which, we hope, will be followed in the flu
ture, and thatthe city, in all future elections,
will select its officers with reference solely to
their charanter apd fitnaSc opd time odyo,oo
its best interests, and show to the world that
Staunton is city that is not run in the interest
ola political party, but in that of all its citizens
without regard to political parties or classes or
religious denominations.

ANative of Virginia, Agd OF Years
Dies in PIttSburg.

She Loved Virginia and Wished to Die in Va.
A friend kindly enclosed in a letter to us
the following from a recent issue of the Pitts
burgh Times which will be read with inter.
est
Surrounded by her children, grandchildren
and great grandchildren, Mrs. Mary J. Fuller
aged 102 years, passed peacefully away at the
residence of her grandchild Mrs. j. H. Nudge,
215 Washington avenue, Alleghany yester-
day. With her last breath she made wish
that she might not die in any other State than
her native one, Virginia. This desire had been
the old womans only source of annoyance
during the last few years of her life.
Mrs. Fuller was born in Staunton, Virginia,
in 1892, of German parents. At the age of IA
she married. Her husband was a soldier and
was prominent in the war of 1872 Although
born Southerners and perfectly in sympathy
with the Confederate movements, the Fullers
were adverse to slave trading. After once get
ting possession of negro they kept him until
death. AT one time the old couple had As
slaves on their farm.
Mrs. Fullers husband died in 1861 leaving
seven children, four of whom are still living,
the Oldest one being nearly So years of age.
The family came to Pennsylvania four years
ago, and for some time resided near Esplen-
borough.
Mrs Fuller was great friend of StonewaIl
Jackson and Gen. Lee. In the room where
she died the wall is adorned by pictures OF
these two soldiers. She cared for no other
ornaments.
During Mrs. Fuller's long lifetime she ney-
err wore glasses of any kind. Her eyesight was
almost perfect until a few years ago when her
eyes became weak Her sight was restored to
her and until one month ago she read the
newspapers aloud, with a comparatively
strong voice. Mrs Fuller's days were short
ened by fall received a year ago.
The remains will be inferred in Uniondale
cemetery at 10 o'clock this morning"

Accident 70 J. A. Fauver.

Our worthy and highly-esteemed citizen,
Mr.. j. A. Fauver, met with serious accident
last Sunday afternoon on the Churchville road
near the Park. Whilst he was returning
to the city in Surry, accompanies by his wife
and two children, his horse became frightened
by the approach in the rear of another vehicle
and ran, and the right wheel of the Surry ran
off culyert bridge when the sudden stop
threw Mr. Fauver out with such violence and
so shocked and injured him as to render him
unconscious for some time. He was carried
TO his home on litter, and Drs. Patterson and
A. NJ. Henkel were summoned, who found
that his right shoulder had been dislocated,
and that he was bruised on different parts of
his body His shoulder was put in place and
he is getting on as well as could be expected
1t was the same horse that caused the injury
of his son by similar accident, as mentioned
some weeks ago. 1t was no doubt the fright
the horse received on that occasion, that caus
ed him to take fright on this occasion when
he heard the approaching vehicle. A horse
that has been once badly frightened is more
liable to take fright again and cannot be safe
ly trusted though he had been gentle and safe
before.

cation of the Deaf and Dumb and the Blind
which occurred at his fathers residence on
Vine street at o'clock that morning when in
the act of dressing He had been confined for
some days with consumption, but had not be
so i'll as to cause fears of an early death, and
his sudden death was wholly unexpected. His
age was % years and 2 months. He was a
compositor in the office of the Staunton Ne,cs
when taken sick. He was warm hearted and
of a cheerful and generous disposition and was
liked by his friends and associates. He was
member of the Baptist church and an hon
orary member of the Young Woman's Chris
tan Temperance Union.
The funeral services, conducted by Rev. W.
J. E. Cox of the Baptist church, took place at

Disappointed Candidates.

AS it is presumed that each candidate for
office expects 20 be elected, and as there are
twice as many candidates as offices to be filled,
it must follow necessarily that half of them
will be disappointed when the result of the
election will be announced tomorrow night
We offer in advance our sympathy for those
who will be isappointed, and hope they will
take their defeat philosophically, and will
console themselves with the reflection that
they will not be burdened with the cares and
duties of office, and periodically rejoice that
their city is SO blessed as to haye candidates
more worthy than themselves, and so wise as
to elect them in preference to themselves In
loyalty to the fundamental principle of free
government that gives the rule to the major
ity, they should yield willing and cheerful
acquiescence in the decision of the majority
as expressed at The polls, and if they should
feel the sting of disappointment they should
be wise enough not to manifest it in any way,
and particularly not to do so by expressions
of complaint. Those who accept the result,
though unfavorable to them, in proper
spirit of submission, improve their chances
for more favorable result at future cleo
ton.

pose that majority of the Congress

disposed to comply with the wishes of
the citizens of buchanan, Botetourt

convention to meet in that place, which
will probably be held about the 1st of

it hall sufficiently large for the con-
vention?

of last week two boys-Ebb Evines and VIM
Terry-aged about 15 years, were arrested on
the charge of stealing guns from w. F. Foster:
shooting gallery in the McClintic building
Evines was given a hearing before Justice
Wills and committed to Jail to await the ac
ton of the grand jury, and Terry who is con
fined to his bed with fever was too ill to be
removed.
One of the guns was found in the possession
of Evines, when he informed on Terry and
the gun Terry had was found concealed under
his fathers house. These boys have made
bad start in life.
