Death OF Gen. John D. Imboden

Gen. John D. Imboden died, of complica-
ton of kidney troubles, at his home at Da-
mascus, Washington county, Va, at II o'clock,
m, Thursday. August 10Th, aged Y years.
His illness was brief and on the Monday pre-
ceding he was at Abingdon in apparently
good health. He was native of this county,
and received his education at Washington
College, now Washington & Lee University.
After leaving college, he taught school for a
while, studied law, and located for the prac-
tice Of his profession in Staunton in associa
ton with the late Judge John Howard Nc
Cue. He was man of talent and energy, a
good writer and speaker and soon occupied a
prominent position at the bar, and was popu-
lar, and was elected to represent this county
in the House of Delegates.
He was elected Clerk of the County Court of
this county, and occupied that position when
the war between the States commenced
William A. Burnett was his deputy, who was
afterwards elected clerk, and has acceptably
filled that office to the present time
Mr.. Imboden was captain at that time of
the Staunton Artillery company-a volunteer
company organized before the war-and, as
soon as the Virginia Convention passed the
ordinance of secession, he went in command
Of his Company to Harper's Ferry.
During the war, he was promoted till he
reached the rank of Brigadler General, and
commanded for time the department of the
Valley in 1864. After the war he located in
Richmond in the practice of his profession,
but for some years had been living in South
west Virginia where he was active in promot-
ing enterprises that developed to great de-
gree the mineral resources of that portion of
the State, which made others wealthy, but
not himself.
He was of hopeful and sanguine tempera-
ment, and projected many enterprises which
failed to be successful. When one would
fail, he would, with equal hope, enter on an
other. He was married several times. His
first wife was Miss Eliza McCue, daughter of
the late Col. Frank McCue, and aunt of Mr..
Samuel A. McCue. He had many relatives,
and friends in this county who
will be grieved by the intelligence of his death.

Durrant's Movements.

Two Men Saw Him with Miss Lamont Near
the Church.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1.-THE state
ment of Mrs. Caroline Leake that she
saw Theodore Durrant and Miss
Blanche Lamont enter Emanuel Bap-
fist Church on April 3, few minutes
before Miss Lamont is supposed to have
been murdered, has broken the ice and
two more witnesses have come forward
who say they saw Durrant and the girl
in the vicinity of the church at the
same time p. IN. One of the new wit
nesses is John Rush, a carpenter. The
name of the other man the police refuse
to make known, but he has known
Durrant a long time and says he can
not be mistaken about his appearance.
Miss Lamont was unknown to Rush's
friend, but when the two men made
visit to Captain Lees they were shown
the clothing of Miss Lamont, which
was found in the belfry, and both men
declared themselves as certain that
they were the garments worn by the
girl whom they saw walking with Dur
rant.
Then Captain Lees showed them a
photograph of Durrant. Rush's friend
identified it positively and Rush was
reasonably certain that it was the pic
ture of the man he met.
Mrs. Leake, the new witness, was for
merly a resident of Cloversville, n. Y.
Her neighbors are inclined to discredit
her story and they represent her as
woman rather prone to gossip. They
credit her with the origin of the state
ments that young men and women
were accustomed to resort TO the
church at all hours Of the day and
night.

a few pieces have been. inadvertently
no doubt, assigned to one or more
parties.
"The title of the state was acquired,
and, as | am advised, the records of
the deeds evidencing the same w;re
recorded, before the taxes on the
property became due or payable. In
any event, the property became eX-
empt from taxation at once upon the
veSting of it's title in the state.l Even
taxes delinquent cannot be enforced
against such property. (Reid VS. State,
IA Ind, 258) The auditor was not
authorized to offer the property at tax
sale, as was done, and no title gould
pass Hereunder to any one assuming
to purchase at such sale.
''I would therefore recommend that
you address the county auditor OF
Ramsey county calling his attention to
the subject and advising him as to the
views above expressed, in case they
accord with your own, to the end that
he may not assume to make further'
assignments. In fairness to those. who
who have in good faith parted with
their money III reliance upon the valid
ity of the sales under which they un-
dertook to purchase of the tracts in
question, they should be advised as to
the real facts so that they may take
appropriate steps in securing refund
ments. | may add further that the
county auditor should be advised either
to note upon his records the fact that
the lands are now owned by the state
as capitol SITE or that he call the
matter to the attention of the board of
county commissioners, who will no
doubt thereupon direct that they be
stricken from the tax records" -
