X. Murray Strikes Sam W. Small

In consequence of some offensive re-
marks published by Mr.. Small in his
paper, the EUening NeaOs, in reference
to K. G. Murray, editor of the Norfolk
Landmark, Foster K. Murray, aged Is
years, son of X. G. Murray. on meeting
Small in the Courtyard in Norfolk
Friday morning, denounced him in
severe terms and struck him, where
upon Small, as reported in special to
the Richmond Dispatch, took hold of
the young man, and struggle ensued,
during which both of the gentlemen
fell to the ground. Mr.. Small landed
on top, however, and held Mr.. Murray
about the neck, while the latter was
trying to strike him in the face. Mr.
Small turned bis head in direction to
prevent this, and only received a
couple of slight blows upon the neck. "
They were separated before either
was hurt. The same dispatch says,
'Mr. Small received slight bruise IN
der one of his eyes, but otherwise he
was unframed. Mr.. Murray's back
bore the marks of grass stains. but his
flesh showed no marks"
ANOTHER ACCOUNT
A special of Friday to the Indee- p-
peal says
"Mr. Small had just entered the
courthouse gate when he was met by
young Murray, who was accompanied
by Mr.. Hugh Murray, brother of Edi-
tor Murray. A few words were passed,
when young Murray was seen to strike
Mr.. Small, whereupon the latter threw
his assailant to the ground and held
him until three deputy sergeants rush.
ed out of the courthouse and separat-
ed the combatants and placed them
under arrest. At the police station
Messrs. Small and Foster Murray were
charged with fighting and Mr.. Hugh
Murray with interfering with an Off
Ger, he having struck the deputy who
arrested his nephew. They were all
allowed to depart and will be tried in
the police court tomorrow. Neither
of the parties was hurt. Mr.. Small
acted with great GOODNESS dnring the
fracas and did not attempt to strike
either of the Messrs. Murray. AS
might be supposed, the affair drew a
large crowd to the scene of the trouble
and created quite sensation"

Struck by Lightning.

| During the storm on Monday morning
| June 9th, about half-past ten o'clock the
lightning struck the pinnacle of st. Johns
Lutheran Church spire and ignited it, and al
though the rain was coming down in torrents
it continued to blaze, first no larger apparent
ly than mans hand, but increasing slowly
in spite of the rain. As it had to burn down
wards and as the large ball Immediately above
the apex seemed to turn the water off, it gave
evidence that unless arrested by more than
mere rain the steeple was doomed. The hose
companies were on the ground in a lew
minutes, but the distance was so great, being
equal to at least five stories, that there was
not pressure sufficient to reach it from the
ground.
About half way up the steeple was a trap
door through the slate roof. Larry Hutchin-
son, of Hose Co. No. g. made his way up into
the tower to this trap-door, and, with his body
one-half out of the opening, directed the first
stream that reached the fire, with the water
necessarily coming down over him in such
torrents as to prevent his taking good aim and
keeping it. and at the risk of his life from
patches of slate which every now and then
would drop or slide off edgeways on their way
to the ground below.
After an unusual and extraordinary amount
of labor for such a small fire in a drenching
rain-the slate roof preventing the rain from
assisting in arresting the hames-it was put
out in about half an hour after it was first
discovered.
Besides setting fire to the spire the light
ming ripped up quite large section of the
woodwork on the northwest side of the
Steeple.

{ State Board Of He alth.

The action of the Staunton Chamber of
Commerce in recommending change of the
law in reference to the State Board of Health
so as to give that Board the power to regulate
guarantees, meets the approval of the Press
of the State, and also, we have no doubt, of
the people generally who have considered the
matter The Petersburg hader-Appeal says
1.-The Staunton Chamber of Commerce has
inaugurated movement looking to the crea-
ton of a State Board of Health with full
powers in State sanitary matters. Recently
Staunton was made to suffer a great deal of
inconvenience in business way by reason of
the enforcement against the city of quaran-
tine regulations that were claimed to be Who'll
ly unnecessary and oppressive. OF course if
there were State Board of Health, there
would be greater uniformity in the regula-
tions, and it would not be possible for the
local authorities to shut off any town from
business relations with the outside world as
happened in the case of Staunton when, dur
ing the recent smallpox outbreak, its citizens
were practically excluded from the rights of
commerce and travel by the authorities of
the adjoining towns"

Suicide ON the Train,

On last Thursday morning on the
train between Lynchburg and Char
lottesville, man was found dead with
silk handkerchief tightly tied around
his throat. Papers on his person
showed that his name was Lewis J.
Ruffino and that he came from Cali.
fornia. The jury of inquest at Char
lottesville Friday rendered the verdict
"that he came to his death by means
of a silk handkerchief tied thrice
around his neck by his own hands,
thereby producing strangulation."
From the evidence as to his conduct
on the train from New Orleans, where
he took the train on Tuesday, it is evil
dent that he was insane.

Suicide OF a Lady in Richmond.

A despatch from Richmond says that
miss Minnie Wilkinson, well con
nected and intelligent lady, aged about
30 years, committed suicide Sunday
evening about o'clock, in the Sunday
school room in the rear of DR.. Hoge's
Second Presbyterian church. Just
before the close of the services in the
church Miss Wilkinson shot herselt
through the heart with a pistol. Hel
death was instantaneous. The deceas
ed lady had, it is understood. been suf
fering for some time past from nervou.
troubles and mental depression, which
led to the rash out. Her mental con
dition at the time of the act of self
destruction is said to have been caused
by a love affair between herself and a
nephew of DR.. Hoge. She was very
estimable lady"

teemed Citizen.

Oeatn OF this Well Known and ES-
teemed Citizen.
Mr.. John w. Abby departed this life Tues
day morning, the End instant. at 2 o'clock
aged about 6S years. He was always delicate
and, for some time past, feebleness gradually
increased till the end came.
The deceased was native of Rockville,
Md. He was trained a merchant in the cloth
ing department. and came to Staunton from
Baltimore in 1857. In connection with gen.
tleman named Roane of that city, a large and
prosperous business in that line was here es-
tablished which was continued under the style
| of Roane & Abby till about 1880, after which
the business was conducted by Mr.. Abby, and
afterwards in connection with his son, Mr..
Lou F. Abby.
In 1861, Mr.. Abby and Miss Augusta B. Fultz.
a daughter of the late Judge David Fultz, were
married. Mrs. Abby died in 1886. Two sons
and four daughters survive their parents. Lou
F., referred to above, is engaged in business
in Texas. and the other son, John w.. is in
New York
Mr.. Abby possessed and cultivated fine
taste in those departments of life which add
to its happiness, and contribute to the realiza-
ton of personal pleasures and social delights.
As member of the First Presbyterian church,
This walk and conversation exemplifed
through many long years. that continuous
active work and effort in the service of the
Great Master, which added gems to the crown
of righteousness that awaited his transfer to the
realms of bliss. In the church choir, as lead
er and guide, his name and all the endeared
associations which crowd the mind when his
vacant seat is viewed, are so many attestations
of life well spent in good works.
Mr.. Abby was for some years member of
the City Council. He served on the commit
tee of that body in charge of the construction
of the City Water Works, and was ever alive
to the advancement of the business interests
and the progress of the people in all the de-
partments of trade and the general prosperity
He erected the elegant structure for resi-
ings of the military and classical school con-
Quoted by Captain W. H. Kable. About the
same time, he added to the commercial inter-
est of the city that superb store house on Au
gusta street now occupied by Clemmer & Hogs
head.
The funeral will take place this afternoon
at o'clock from the First Presbyterian
church.

Death of an Aged and Faith full Colored
Woman.
CRAIGsvILLE, VA, July 1, Is

CRAIGsvILLE, VA, July l, 1895.
Dinah Bell, an old colored woman, died the
9th of June, at the residence of S. N. Ramsey
of this county. Aunt Dinah," as she was
always called, was a remarkable woman. She
was purchased by DR.. Samuel Ramsey no less
than half century ago. She was quite an
old woman at the time of purchase. She
formed warm attachment for the DR.. and
his family, refusing, when the days of slavery
ended, to leave the ones she loved to serve.
She remained with the Dr.'s heirs until her
death, and always faithful and affectionate
servant as long as life lasted. When the final
summons came, she was supposed to be 104
years of age. Strange to relate, only one OF
her color was present at her burial, but there
was no lack of tears. A goodly number OF
her masters children and gran dchildren ten
derby laid her to rest amid profusion of flow
