GATE CITY, VA, April E.-(Special)-
Both the old parties in this county have
a full ticket in the field, and the contest
is warming up, although the indications
are that the campaign will be conducted
on manly grounds and very little bitter
ness will be engendered. The Democratic
nominee for Sheriff Is Mr.. COwan W.

citizen. He viii carry the full strength
OF his party and largely break into tbs
fiuential Republicans he will carry are

for Sheriff is w. i. Mcconnell. a very
good man. but little known over the
county. The Democratic candidate for
cumbent, and n popular man. His oppo-
nent is j. +. Richmond, a very popular
young man, also, but not particularly

which will be lTgely in favor OF the
Democracy, party lines, it seems, will
be strictly drawn.

mum With Such q View.

Mr.. Frank A. Woodell. a bookbinder.
who worked for long time for the
Baughman Stationery Con pany attempted
TO commit suicide yesterday BY taking

state. The policeman realized the young
mans condition, and summoned the am
buance, and the almshouse surgeons,
Drs. Parker and LeNford, assisted by Dr.
Il. j. Riddell, did all in their power to
resuscitate the unconscious man. They
ascertained that Woodell had drank about
an ounce OF the opium tincture. and that
the drug had been taken in small doses,
the man evidently being ignorant OF the
quantity necessary 70 produce fatal eI-
feet.
While Mr.. Woodell was In a state Of
semi-consclousness he declared that he
wanted to die. He was soon removed to the
alrnshouse. where he received the close
attention OF the physicians OF that in
stitution. In the afternoon the sufferer
was visited by his sister and brothers.
who remained with him until nightfall.
when he had sufficiently recovered to be
taken home.
They said that their brother had gone
back 10 work for the Baughman COM
pany about two weeks ago, after being
out OF employment for some time, aud
that he could not have desired TO take
his own life because OF dependency at
having nothing TO do.
In Woodelrs pocket was found a bottle
containing two ounces OF laudanum. the
package being labelled with an advertise
ment from w. Il. Poythress & Co. drug
gists, at the corner Of Second and Main
streets. Mr.. Poythress was asked by a
Dispatch man last night IL he remem-
bered selling Woodell any laudanum. He
said he did not even know Woodell. and
had not recently sold any OF the drug 10
any one whom he did not know well.

A Card from Mr., I,ryan.

In his address at the Old Market on
Friday night Mr.. James O'Connell stated
that at the Locomotive-W Works, under the
new system, wages had been reduced ftom
an average OF $3.50 20 sl25 per day. As
this statement was made In connection
with remarks replying 10 an address re-
Gently made by me before the Richmond
Chamber OF Commerce, and as ii Is en-
ureiy erroneous, ! think II proper 10
state the actual facts.
Inc new system referred 10 IL. perhaps,
the adoption OF piece work." the me-
chanic being paid for the work turned
out at agreed prices. instead OF day-pay.
Under this system, in comparing the
wages earned by the mechanics before
the strike-in lSsp-and slnce-even IN 1894.
when the rate OF pay for work was cut
down 10 per cent. on account OF the
general reduction OF waSes-we find fhat
that IN 1894 the average wages OF the
skilled mechanics was 10 per cent. more
than In 1879. and for the apprentices or
beginners a per cent. JOS. BRYAN.

NOMINATIONS by INDEPENDENTS.
They Have n Ticket, hut How
About the VOtess


The Henrlco Independents have finally
decided TO put a ticket in the field in
opposition to that nominated by the
Democrats. and at a meeting held in
Botto's Hall yesterday afternoon the
following candidates were endorsed: For
Treasurer, T. y. Taylor; for Sheriff,
James a. Via; for Commonwealth's Attor-
ney. George ". Thomas (probable); Com
missioners OF the Revenue-Lower Dis
irict. Spencer Gillian; Upper District,

Mr.. Taylor new holds a deputyshp un-
der County-Clerk Wadd!ll. lie was not
present al the meeting. and the impress
sion prevails around the courthouse that
he will not accept the nomination.
Interest In the mistrial OF Francis Lock-
wood Smith, the gold-bricS swindler has
abated but little, and the failure OF the
jurymen TO arrive at verdict was the
all-absorbing topic of conversation around
the county courthouse yesterday. Some
OF the jurors were at the courthouse
yesterday, and 1t was stated by them
that during the deliberations OF the jury
several of them shed tears while en-
treating the dissenters TO harmonic.
Mr.. James Phillips, who has been Sc
verely criticized by a majority Of the
Jurors for his conduct in the case, In
conversation with newspaper man yes
terday said that the men who disagreed
with him have done him injustice In the
remarks that have been made by them
since their discharge. Mr. Phillips states
that in the first ballot taken the highest
term of punishment was eight years.
He says also that 1t was he who induced
Juryman Deitrick 10 change from YER

Mr. Phillips thinks that Juryman May

by exhibiting photograph OF the prisoner

SUIT ABOUT CHURCH REQUESTS.
Contest Over n VIII Giving Property
to Bishop kcane.

In the City Circuit Court yesterday
suit was instituted by Sheriff John I.
Hughes, as curator Of the estate OF Mrs.
Mary S. Devine. to recover of Bishop A.
Van de Vyver damages to the amount
of ST.. 800. This suit grows out OF a con-
troyersy over the will Of Mrs. Mary S.
Devine, whereby the greater part of her
property is given to Bishop keane, for
merly of Richmond, and the residue to
certain Catholic priests and friends, to
the exclusion of her relatives.
The will Is being contested by sister
OF Mrs. Devine, partly on the ground OF
mental incapacity on the part OF the
testatrix, who was a very old lady, and
the suit in question grows out OF the
payment to Bishop Van de Vyver OF some
1900 by the testatrix before her death,
and after the making OF the said will.
The suit is by the curator to recover this
money.
Judge Edmund WaddIll, Jr.. and Messrs.
Meredith & Cooke represent the contest
ants Of the WILL and Sheriff Hughes and
John Dunlop, Esq, the propounders Of
the will.
