Details OF che Massacre OF Wilson aud His
Force by the Matabeles,
CAPErowS, Jan. 14.-Dstails of the mas-
sacre of Capt. Wilson's patty by the NAts-
bsles have bsen received here. The natives
who we're with King Lobengula at the time
OF the fight tell the story of the struggle.
Wilson's party consisted OF forty British
troopers aud about a hundred native auxil-
iaries. They came upon Lobengula. who
had q lorce OF about 1900. The confident
spirit of the Matabeles was thoroughly
broken. and, intent only on capturing the
king Wilson, without taking precautions
against a surprise, dashed forward with his
troopers. Lobengula, discovering the small
ness of the attacking force, planned a sue
cessfui ruse. He ordered this center of his
column to retreat before the British ad-
vance, while its fnnks fell away on either
aide In order 10 surround the British
The plan worked perfectly. The
troopers dashing recklessly forward
soon left their native AuKilisties far be-
hind. Then the Matabeles in front made a
stand, and those on the fanks began 20
close in. Wilson discovered his danger.
and tried to cut his way out TO JOIN his
auxiliariss, but the Matabeles pressed him
on every side in overwhelming numbers
The troopers horses fell beneath them, and
they finally were compelled to make a life
aud death stand, fighting frem behind their
dead horses As bTesstworks. Ammunition
for their cnrbinea soon gave out, and they
then had TO resort TO evolvsfs. and when
there we're no more cartridges for them,
defended themselves with their swoTds,
while the savsgss pressed closer and closer,
and finally. with savage yells. swept down
upon those who remained alive of the little
band, and with asseRsis aud olubs beat

Death of c. C. Baldwin.

Mr. Cornelius G. Baldwin died at his
home near Glasgow, at 2 O'Clock Mon
day afternoon. He had for some time
past, been infrm in mind and body by
reason of advancing years. He was 80
years old.
During former generation Mr.. Bald
win was a man of importance and in
fiuence in the county. He was born in
Frederick county, Va, and was the son
of Joseph Baldwin. One of his broth
ers, Joseph Baldwin, attained great
celebrity as the writer of 1.-The Flush
Times of Alabama and Mississippi"
Another, Judge Briscoe Baldwin, was
a jurist of eminence.
Mr. Baldwin came to Lexington about
1884, and became editor of the Union.
He was editor of that paper when, in
1885 it was changed to the Lexington
Gazette. 1t was as editor of the Gazette
that he attained a reputation thaG has
Survived him. He was an ardent Wing,
IL mani of wide information and II mas
ter of controversial writing. Writing
of this character was very popular in
the papers of that day, aud he upheld
Wing principles wit II IL trenchant pen.
After some years be left the GGzette
aud went into the practice of law. This
he followed for IL time He then retired
to II farm on North river where his af-
ter years were spent in comparative
seclu-ion In the period just before
the war he became an ardent Seces-
sionist and along with John W. Brock
enbrough was Secession candidate
from Rockbridge for the convention in
1861. They were defeated by Sam'l
Mcdowell Moore and James b. Dor
man, the county being strongly Union.
Mr.. Baldwin was twice married. In
1887 he married Margaret Paxton, a
daughter of Hugh Paxton of North
river. Of this marriage one son is liv
ing, Dr.. Joseph Baldwin of Maryland;
two children died in recent years, John
P. B L,iwin and Mrs. Alex. NJ. CARRIER.
Mr. B.ildwin's second wife was Miss
Susan Sale of this county, who survives
him with one SOL, Briscoe Baldwin of
Glasgow.
He was buried at Glasgow Tuesday
afternoon.

Suffrage in Louisiana.

The Louisiana constitutional COM
mission has agreed to present an
amendment to the State constitution
on the subject of the suffrage franchise.
1t provides that, to enjoy the right to
vote in Louisiana, the suffragan must
possess the following qualifications:
First, he must be a citizen of the United
States, twenty one years old and up
wards, a resident of the State at least
one year, resident of the parish six
months, a resident of the ward or pre-
cinct in which he offers to vote thirty
days next preceding the election. Next,
he shall be a registered voter and must
have paid his poll tax for the year pre-
cedlng the election. Next, he must be
able to read the constitution of the
State in his mother tongue, or, in de-
fault of that, he must be the owner of
property, real or personal, located in
the State, of cash value assessed for
taxation of not less than 5000. The
New Orleans Picayune indorses the de
cision of the commission, and says the
State press should take it up and urge
it upon the people, as well as upon the
General Assembly. Suffrage reform, +"
says the Picayune, lis one of the great
est political needs of the State, and it
should be contaminated in deliberate,
a conservative and decisive manner

Warning to Young Men,

How many young men bankrupt
their constitutions, squander their
vitality and ruin their health by per
nicious practices generally contracted
through ignorance. Nervous exhaus
ton, debility, dullness of mental facul
ties, impaired memory. low spirits,
mOrOse or irritable temper. fear of i'm
pending calamity, and thousand and
one are the arrangements of mind and
body which result from such indis
cretions. Epilepsy, paralysis, soften
ing of the brain and dread insanity are
not unfrequently the result OF I'M
natural habits contracted in youth
through ignorance of their destructive
charac ter, and persisted in until the
consti ution is wrecked. Such I'M
fortuEates are surely entitled to the
tender sympathy. the noblest efforts
and tie best skill of the medical pro-
fession. To reach, reclaim and restore
such unfortunates to health and hap
piness, is the aim of an association of
medical gentlemen, who, having had
vast experience in the cure of the class
of maadies herein limited at, have pre-
pared a comprehensive. scientific
treatise, written IN plain but chaste
language on the nature. symptoms and
durability, by home treatment, of such
diseases. The Worlds Dispensary
Medic Il Association, of 663 Main street,
Buffalo, N. Y, will on receipt of this
notice enclosed with ten cents (for post
age), iaail, secure from observation, in
plain. sealed envelope, copy of this
useful work. which should be read by
not on y every yoGn.c man in the land,
but $50 iis every parent, guardian
and te scher having care of the young.

GEORGE DoTsoN.-Sheriff Dwyer
went ever to Fincastle, Va last T hurs-
day t. secure the return of George Dot
son to dreenbier to stand trial for the
offense of which he stands charged in
our Circuit Court. He found that Dot
son had been removed to Roanoke for
safe keeping, the authorities in Bote
tourt fearing that he would be lynched
for the assault upon Miss Pierson near
Saltpetre, ON the 9Th instant, of which
he was suspected and an account of
which was given last week. 1t seems
to be admitted now that that offense
was committed by villain named
Dave Kelly, who has not yet been cap
tured, and that Dotson was arrested
simply on suspicion. He is still held at
Roanoke, and, it is said, is ready to re
turn l.ere to stand his trial. A requisi-
ton will be obtained and in a short
time he will probably be in jail here
