Is it a great wonder that Virginia
could not pay her debt, as originally
computed, when it costs nearly as
much to run her government as it does
to run the governments of Georgia and
North Carolina added together? The

mentioned States for 1898, exclusive OF
interest on debt, was SO, 695. 900 and the
expenses of Virginia So, 100000! Politics
and politicians have been the curse of
this State. Offices are multiplied and
expenses increased without regard to
the public welfare. Things need

A West Virginia Sensation.

TRIPLET, W. VA, Feb. 25.-At the
close of prayer meeting held in a
school-house here Friday night Miss
Lottie Gibson, visitor here from
Elkins, asked pete" Horrick, her
affianced lover, to the back of the
building, saying she must see him
alone. AS soon as they were out OF
sight Horrick made some lovelike de-
monstrations, when the girl repulsed
him and denounced him as a slanderer.
He denied his guilt, and she called
witnesses to convict. Then she pro-
duced loaded stick, and while by
ISLANDERS prevented him from defending
himself, she beat him savagely about
the head and face. The couple were to
have been married in June. Both are
members of good families and active in
the revival work here. While the af
fair created great sensation, no
thought was given to the young mans
condition. Last night the affair took
on the character of a tragedy, as the
doctor called to attend Horrick says he
will die from injuries received in the
attack ON him, his brain being injured.

MAJOR TURNER'S MARVELLOUS Es-
CAPE.-Mr. S. S. Turner, who has just
been elected to the House of Represent
atives in the Seventh Congressional
District of Virginia to succeed Gov.
O'Ferrall, had once an escape from
death little short of the marvellous.
He was Confederate soldier, and after
the evacuation of Richmond, with four
other men, climbed into a box-car to
sleep. The car had been used to trans
port powder, and every crevice in the
floor was filed with the powder-dust.
In the morning one of the men, after
| lighting his pipe, threw the burning
end of the match he had used ON the
floor. Instantly there was an explo
sion, which killed all but Mr.. Turner
He was terribly injured, and lay fol-
| weeks in almost mortal agony, foI
opium or other narcotics were not to be
had. He recovered finally, but bears
still the marks of the accident Ofthe
torture he endured he cannot even al
this day be induced to speak

Point and graduated in 1887. He was
then assigned as lieutenant of artil-
lery at Fort Monroe. He served in the

future.
