House OF Delegates. and being deservedly
popular. he will be his own successor.
THOROIrGH CANVASS

n
Senator Lecato. Mr.. s. w. Mathews.
the candidate for the House OF Delegates
from Accomac: Or. Smith, the candidate
FOR Accomac and Northampton. and
Major Baker +. Ice. the candidate for
Accomac and Elizabeth City. will make
a thorough canvass OF this county du-
ring the last week in October, speaking
In nearly all the towns and villages.
The people here need arousing from
their Indifference. az but few persons
seem 20 know that an election for men,
bers OF the General Assembly will be
held on the 9Th day OF November. Major
Lee as yet has no one opposing him.
and an unknown Prohibitionlst has been
nominated against Mr.. Mathews. but he
has not yet appeared in the field. The
fact that Or. Smith has two opponents
will make his majority all the greater.
A DESERVED COMPLIMENT.
The selection OF Captain Orris A.
Browne. Of Northampton, as chairman
Of the Good Roads Convention which
met in Richmond recently. was de-
served compliment to public-spirted
citizen OF the Eastern Shore OF Virginia.
Many years ago Captain Browne begun
the agitation for better roads in this
part Of Virginia, and though meeting
with many discouragements. he never
lost heart or gave up the fight He has
had the satisfaction of seeing his views
adopted by the two Eastern Shore coun-
ties. and as a result the public highways
are in far better condition than ever
before.
During the past week Judge Farrar.
Of Amelia. has delighted audiences at
various places on the Eastern Shore by
his lectures. His visit TO this section
gave much pleasure 70 his old friends.
and enabled many who had never seen
or heard him the opportunity of becoming
acquainted with him.

BEAUTIFUL ENTERTAINMENT
In Honor of n Fredericksburg
Young Indy-Nofes

FREDERICKSBURG. VA. October 10.
(Special)-The hospitable home of Mr..
and Mrs. Aulbln Tapscott. in this city,
was crowded last night with friends from
home and abroad, gathered TO welcome
upon her Introduction into society the
only daughter OF the house, Miss Sailie
Lyel Tapscott.
The dcbUtarte. most cultivated and
charming young lady, is vel known in
Richmond She was the recipient Of the
best wishes Of the many friends who
graccd the occasion. Preparations for the
event have been quietly progressing for
some time. but until within the last few
days there We're only few favored ones
who knew of the treat in store. Miss
Sallic's home had been turned into a
ver.table bower Of beauty by her parents,
and the scene presented has never been
excellod in Fredericksburg.
ELABORATE DECORATIONS.
Invitations had been issued TO 10 or
more persons. and all invited were there.
The floral decorations were elaborate. and
the refreshments the most tempting that
q Washington caterer could serve. The
gowning Of the ladies was exquisite while
the bcauX were attiTed as became so
joyous an occasion. Dancing was kept
up uHtD l6lc muir, anu WHtH tlc id"l
Of the guests said goodnight" TO the
charming household, 'gOod-morning
would have been much more appropriate
leave-taking.
At regular meeting Of the Council
last night. the contract with the electric
light company for street-lghtin6 was
cancelled, and Fredericksburg will, until
other arrangements are made, have TO
depend on its own gas-plant.
The action of the Council Is generally
commended and it is the widely-eXpressed
wish that the step taken will result in the
formulation of some plan whereby the
city will soon own an elec,ric-light plant.
SAD ANNOUNCEMENT.
The announcement of the death Of Mrs.
Bette Green Lewis, wife Of Major w.
H. r. Lewis. president Of the County
Court Of jefferson county. W. Va, causes
great sorrow here. Mrs Lewis was born
in Stafford county near this city, and
is sister OF James l.. Green, now living
here.
Several of the guests Of r. l.. Per;it's
hotel were robbed last night. The thief
got away with his plumber. Suspicion
points to a well-known character, and the
officers are on his trail.

Seditious Teaching.

KINGSTON, March 1.-Alexander B.
Edwards, a negro, who styles himself
a prophet, and who during last year
attracted following of over 5000 per-
sons, has been arrested by the authori-
ties on charge of sedition. In ad-
dressing his congregation recently,
Edwards, it is alleged in the most en-
phatic manner, advised his listeners to
rebel against the government and to
crush out the whites. The prisoners
arrest was accomplished as secretly as
possible. He was surprised at :: his
house at midnight by a squad of 80
policemen. and withoutany resistance
was conveyed to police station.
When the arrest was made public
great excitement prevailed among his
friends, some of whom threaten to at
tempt rescue, while others believe
that Edwards, through his own powers
can escape punishment. Edwards be
gan operations about year and half
ago. He proclaimed himself proph-
ct sent by God to heal the sick. He
erected house OH the banks OF a lit
tie stream few miles back of King
ston and invited the people to come
and bathe in the waters he
blessed, asserting they could thus be
cured of any disease. In month his
congregation often numbers 5000 or
5000 persons and all day long the
throngs of believers might be seen
marching along the roads with bottles
or pannikins to fetch away some of
the blessed water Others, too weak to
walk, were carried to the water by
friends.

A SCHOONER OF WHISkEY.
A Ship Load of Savannah whislscy Seized
by the Police.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Feb. 27.-The
police department, acting in conjunc-
ton with the State constabulary, seized
yesterday morning the schooner Caro-
lima loaded with twenty-eight barrels
of whiskey. The liquor seized is prob
ably worth $1,000, and the value of
the schooner, which will be held un-
der Section SO of the dispensary law,
is worth probably as much again. The
details of the seizure and subsequent
proceedings are interesting and are as
follows:
Information having reached the au-
thorities that one or more schooners
loaded with contraband liquor were
expected to arrive in Charleston, the
State constables, under Chief Holley,
and the police, under Chief Martin,
were on the lookout. AT about $3.50
o'clock yesterday morning Sergts.
Quinn and McCaffery, of the police
force, on watch along the east river
front, discovered small schooner
coming quietly up to Palmetto wharf.
She came in, lowered her sails and
made fast. Her movements and the
fact of her coming up to a wharf at
that hour gave the officers clue, and
in very few minutes they hailed
her.
The captain was at first inclined to
be troublesome, but the sergeants soon
showed him that they meant business
and boarded her at once. Word was
at once sent to headquarters and Chief
Martin, Lieut.. Mollenhauer and sew
eral men repaired to the scene. Chief
Constable Holley was not far off and
was shortly on the wharf. The schoon.
er was found to be the Carolina and
the cargo consisted of twenty-eight
barrels of whiskey. The captain, j.
E. V. Jcrvey, his son, j. E. V. Jervey,
Jr., and colored deck hand, named
Henry Gardner, were put under ar
rest, and as soon as daylight made it
practicable the cargo was unloaded.
The barrels were, with three or four
exceptions marked "vinegar, and the
revenue stamps had been covered by
pasting over them pieces of white pa,
per. 4 few barrels were not marked
and the stamps not covered.
The Carolina is two-masted schoo-
ner about sixty feet long, of substan-
tlal build. She has been engaged in
the coasting trade for some years and
is owned principally in Charleston.
She left Savannah Saturday morning.
The whiskey, which Chief Constable
Holley estimated to be worth 81, 500,
was sent to the South Carolina and
Georgia Railroad depot for shipment
to Columbia and the captain and crew
of the Carolina were taken before
Justice Rouse on warrant served by
Constable Levy, charged with violat-
ing Section 33 of the dispensary law.
They gave bond of $500 each for their
appearance when desired and were
released. The Carolina, however, is
held by the authorities and will prob,
abl5 be advertised as coniiscated and
for sale in a few days. The section
under which the Carolina is held re-
fers to seizure of vehicles or anymeans
used in transportation of contraband
liquors. News and Courier.

A Chance for IL Hanging.

Council, BLUFFS, Ia, Feb. 2S.-
Deputy Sheriff O'Brien, who was shot
by the Griswold bank burglar, is very
low, and slight hopes are entertained
of his recovery. The authorities have
identified Smith, the wounded robber
captured. He is Cad Mcguire Of
Omaha. Riley, the robber who shot
O'Bricn and then escaped, is the son OF
O'Connor of Omaha, his right name
being Charley O'Connor. The auth
critics are hot on O'Connor's trail and
expect to capture him before night.
The postage stamps. stolen were ship
ped by White to a man named Davis
in Chicago.

AUGUSTA, March Hon. Thomas
f. Watson, Poplllist candidate for
Congress in the Tenth district, and a
man who claims the seat which Con-
gresham j. G.. G.. Black holds, ad-
dressed large audience in the opera
house last night. He made a plea for
harmony and for more friendly critic
ism of himself by the people. His
speech was principally devoted to the
financial question and of course advo-
Gated the retention of gold, silver and
grccnbacks. His speech was we'll re-
cived and will have Il good influence

1t was the most conservative speech
Mr. Watson has ever made.

A Remarkable Scene.

WILMINGTON, DEL, March LIN
the House of Representatives, yester-
day afternoon bill was passed to re-
peal the act which permits saloon
keepers to sell liquor in quantities less
than one quart to bedrank off the pre-
misses. When the result was announc-
ed Mrs. James l.. Wolcott, wife Chan
cellor Wolcott, began to sirgtEc dox-
ology which was taken up by about
fifty women present. The members
were taken by surprise at her action,
and no attempt to rebuke the violation
of the House was made. The scene
created much cnterest, owing to its
unusual character. The bill now goes
to the Senate.

Burned in Their Beds.

HADAM, Conn.,. March 1.-Persons
on the way to church Sunday night
made a horrible discovery, about a
mile back of the village of Middle
Hadam, at what is called Hogs Hill.
For some thirty years Thomas Cava-
naugh, an industrious farmer, has
lived in little story and half house
with his wife. The church goers were
Mortified to see the house Il mass OF
ruins. A search was begun, and the
body of the man was found almost
unrecognizablc. Nearby was found a
pelvic bone, all that remained of the
woman. From the location it was de-
cidcd that the couple who We're about
60 years old were burned in their beds

Philosophic Prince Kuns.

LONDON, Feb. PA Central News
dispatch from Pekin says that an in
terview was obtained with Prince
Kung at the close of the meeting of the
privy council in that city, his fellow
councillors remaining and acquiescing
in what the Prince said. Prince Kung
remarked that Japan had seized Corea
and made the Corean troubles a pre-
text for war. The dispute, however,
could easily have been settled peacea-
bly,. He admitted that China had
faults; that the war had been managed
unwisely and that some of her officers
were unfit and incompetent. For
these disadvantages China must suf-
fer. He expressed himself as ignorant
Of what Japan wanted or why she was
fighting. Upon being told thatJapan
probably wanted possession of the ter
ritory she had conquered, together
with 400,000,000 taels indemnity,
Prince Kung said he questioned very
seriously whether it wonld be possible
for her to make such a claim, adding:
China stands upon principle and Ja-
pan upon power. China knows that
She is weak from military point of
view and has. therefore, concluded
that her only option is to sue for peace
and she has sent ENJOYS for that pur-
pose to consult with representatives of
Japan and to agree to pay indemnity.
China's purpose is sincere. If Japan
will meet her in a friendly spirit the
conclusion of peace will be possible
If her demands are eXorbitant China
will continue to fight. Replying to
the suggestion that China mustexpect
continued defeats, Prince Kung put
these queries: Can Japan overrun all
our Provinces" "Wil Heaven per-
NIT it," will the other nations ac-
quiesce in it?" IF China is wrong"
he concluded, "she is willing to suf-
fer" The foregoing utterances of
Prince Kung undoubtedly express
the general sentiment of the council.
1t was the Dowager Empress and
Prince Kung who nominated Ii Hung
Chang as peace envoy, the other mem
bers of the council agreeing to the ap-
pointment.

bitterest tone and harshest words of
Mr.. Chandler. If the stories which he
had heard of that Senator were true
or half-true, instead of representing
the magnificent commonwealth Of
New Hampshire in the Senate of the
United States, he should be in the
penitentiary"
Mr.. Martin also spoke of the politi-
cal contest in 1876 and of Mr.. Chand-
ler's connection with what he called
the attempt to steal and plumber the
vote of every doubtful State in the
Union.
"New Hampshire" Mr.. Martin con-
tinued, fused to be represented in the
Senate by men of splendid intellect,
but the eagle has been driven from its
nest and buzzard had taken the
eagles place and vomited forth its
filth on every occasion"
Mr.. Martin was not permitted to
continue. He was called to order; and
for some time there was much confu-
sion and disorder; but finally Mr..
Martin withdrew his Objectionable
words "out of respect to the Senate
but he still retained his own opinion
respecting the subject. Haug ghter.) 1t
was nearly midnight when this sort of
controversy came to an end and the
pending bill was open to amendment.
Most of the amendments that were
offered were Objectionable to Mr.. Cock
rell, in charge of the bill; but for the
sake of getting on with the business,
he allowed them to be adopted with
the intention, evidently, of having
them defeated in conference.
Finally the bill was passed, and the
Senate at half an hour after midnight
adjourned till Friday at II a. m.
