Death of Mr.. II. II. richardson.

In the death of Mr.. B. H. Richardson
of Columbus, editor and proprietor of the
Enquirer-Sun. his state and city sustain
a loss that will be felt He was a man OF
positive force of character, and
exerted that force for the ben
eft of his country. He was an
incessant worker for the upbuilding of
Columbus and Georgia materially and IN
teHectually, and was always at pains to
insist that the upbuilding should be upon
correct lines. which would make the struc-
ture permanent. AS a leader of public
opinion, he was careful that his own opin-
ion should be the result of mature deliber-
alton and founded upon the accepted prin-
ciples of his party or upon a correct code
of ethics. Personally, he was a geniai
and companionable man, who numbered
his friends by the score. His long resi-
dence in this city gave him many sincere
friends here. who will mourn his death
and sincerely sympathize with his be-
reaved family.

Another POpuIist Short Cut.
From the Springfield CNIass) Republican
Qnd).

The populists are said to be losing their
zeal for free silver, because they think
they have discovered a much shorter road
to easily accessible money, through a cur
rency scheme which is to be urged upon
congress next winter. The principal feat
ure of this is the establishment Of govern
ment banks at convenient centers, where
any one who has acceptable security, like
farm produce or stocks of merchandise
or in some cases real estate, can borrow
money up to the value of the security Of
fered. The details of the scheme have
been carefully worked out, but as there is
not the slightest probability that congress
will pay any attention to il, these details
are not of as much consequence as the
evidence such a proposition by the popu-
lists affords that the free silver movement
is at bottom a cheap money movement.
Its nerve viii be cut the moment a scheme
Is devised for making the currency elastic
enough to go where il is needed so that
interest rates may be lower and more
the basis Of that currency be the single
gold standard.

There is probably only one church con-
tribution box in the country that is pro-
vided with a burglar alarm attachment.
That one is in Brooklyn. The other day
a wayfarer went into the church to pray,
according to his own story. The evidence
seems to be that he paid his devotions
10 the contribution box, for the burglar
alarm sounded and the officers who re-
sponded to it found the penitent in the
act of extracting the cash.

Three Letters Only Necessary.
From the Philadelphia Ledger Qnd.)

Lord Sackville Is plainly a disappointed
man, nursing old grievances. His MEG
ding in American politics very properly
resulted in his being given his passports
by President cleveland in 1885, His pres
ent pamphlet is the act of a private per-
son no longer in public life, and is scarcely
worth attention either from this govern
ment or Mr.. Bayaru. The noble lord has
plainly written himself down in a word
of three letters. and he might very well
be let go at that

The people of America, harrassed by all

which we have.

The battleship Iowa. which will go on
her trial trip to-day, is one of the giants
of the new navy. It is estimated that she
completed. She is not expected to be
very fast, as compared with the speed Of
the Minneapolis or the Columbia. Her
engines were designed to give her a speed
of fifteen knots an hour. What she lacks
in speed. however, she will make up in
the power Of her guns and the strength
OF her armor. She VIII be a veritable
floating fort, armed with guns capable of
blowing an antagonist out of the water.

Readers Of New York dispatches telling
Of the political situation in the metropolis
are sometimes puzzled by references to
the Garoos. the Goo Coos, and similar
outlandish things. 1t may be well, for the
benefit Of such readers. TO explain thar
the Garoos are members Of the German
American Reform Union. and that CARGO
is built from the initials OF the union--G.
A R. u The Goo Coos are members or
the Good Government clubs. and their
political nickname is derived from the
first two letters of good government. Be
sides these there are Mugwumps. steck-
lerites. Tammanyites. I. c. O.'s Qndepen-
dent County Organization, and maybe a
dozen other brands of politicians in the

Goodness graciousi What is the new wo-

that she says bad words, and that
she is going to be tried in court for
it. The new woman in the case under con-
sideration is Belva A. Lockwood, at one
time a candidate for the Office of Presi-
dent of the United States. and at all times
a prominent figure as leader of the wo-
mans emancipation movement. Lawyer
White and Mrs. Lockwood have offices in
the same neighborhood in Washington
There was some business matter in which
they were both interested. Mrs. Lock
wood called on Mr.. White, and they quar-
relied. One word brought on another until
Mrs. Loclwood's temper got the best Of
her. and she called the lawyer bad name
and he went right off and indicted her for
libel.

The probabilities are that the French
soldiers in Madagascar are quite as glad
that the war is over as are the natives
of the island. The Frenchmen have suf-
fered untold hardships in the dense forests,
hundreds of them dying with fever and
other ailments characteristic of hot and
swampy countries. 1t is estimated that
a great many more French soldiers were
incapacitated for service from the climate
than were wounded or killed by the Hovas.

A real story-book story of a miser and
her money comes from Boston. A widow
of seventy-five years of age, who had
been living in poor circumstances for
years, died of apoplexy the other day.
When her relatives came to make
search of her effects they found gold and
bank bills of large denominations stuffed
about in all kinds of queer places. While
the old woman was alive it was thought
that she had barely the means of keeping
the wolf from her door. The search of her
premises and effects disclosed that she
died possessed of money and property
worth more than 100000.

A NEGRO PRISONER ESCAPES.
He jumps from N Train ana Dis
apDears Among the Hills.


LYNCHBURG. VA, March 9.-(special)
John Crews. colored man who was
arrested on the charge OF house-break-
ing and larceny. jumped through car
window on the Lynchburg and Durham
road yesterday afternoon. and, running
across the country, successfully eluded
officer Thomas Nelson. who. as special
constable, had him in charge. The train
at the time was going at full speed. The
negro, at the permission of Mr.. Nelson.
entered the toilet-room. he raised the win
dow and threw himself out. and II Is
possible that his escape would not have
been discovered for some time had not
a passenger on the rear OF the train seen
the negro pick himself up and run for
dear life. The train was stopped, but
too late for any attempt to be made at
capturing the fugitive. When next seen
he was at least mile from the railroad.
and rapidly disappearing amid the hills.
A Mr.. Rice. who for some time past
has been confined in the county jail at
Rustburg, was this morning taken TO
Stanton for confinement in the asylum.
His is one Of the most peculiar and In
many respect, saddest case OF the Kind on
record. He was a young man in the
very prime OF life, and yet so completely
under the power of the morphine habit
that he had TO be imprisoned. He would
take as many as 200 grains Of morphine
and 40 of cocaine in one day. He would
insert II with syringe In the arm until
both arms became so sore that he had

Mr.. Lacy testified that he had seen the
prisoner shoot AZ marx, ana thht no
used his left hand.
Captain J. u. Pettus took the stand, and
said that Captain Goodman was a man
Of the best reputation for truth and We
racity, and that he was left-handed.
Mr. I. S. Wood was recalled, and said
that he was the brakeman on the train
when Captain Goodman put Nash on the
train at Lorraine. Did not see him put
on. but saw him on the ground. and
knew that Goodman. put him Off.
Saunders. who had been a brakeman on

were directors in the Chesapeake and
Ohio road.
Colonel Parsons had n habit OF throw
ing his right hand behind him; sometimes
one and sometimes the other. 1t was
manner Of Colonel Parsonss.
Mr.. Figgatt thought there was some
thing the matter with Colonel ParsonA's
right hand about ten years ago, but not
In recent years. The grasp OF his right
hand was as firm as that OF the LEFT.
Mr.. Glasgow. an attorney, Of Lexington.
bad seen Colonel Parsons frequently In
recent years. and nothing ever suggested
itself to him that his Parsons'O right
hand was not as good as the other. He
wrote with his right hand. and never
heard OF any weakness OF his right nand
until he saw 1t mentioned in connection
with this trial.
NOTES.
At 4 o'clock q recess of thirty minutes
was taken In order 10 give the counsel
for the prosecution time TO look Up au-
thorities as to the admlssibility OF GER
tain evidence, in regard TO various mat.
ters raised during the examination or
Captain Goodman.
II is too early TO make q prediction as
TO what the verdict Will be, but the gene
raj impression OF those who have heard
the evidence is that Captain Goodman WIN
either be acquitted or receive light
punishment.
