Marshall E. Price found guilty of Murder

Marshall E. Price, the young black
smith and wheelwright of Harmony,
in Caroline county, Nd, was Thursday
afternoon found guilty of murder in
the first degree by Judges Wickes and
Stump. The prisoner had been ac-
cused of waylaying Sallie E. Dean, the
fourteen-year-old daughter of Jacob
Dean, farmer; of cutting the child's
throat and hiding her body in a clumr
of trees after making an attempt to as
sault her, while she was on her way
from her home to the schoolhouse in
Harmony, on the morning of Tuesday
March, g.
Prices father says his son has beer
put to severe tests, and has always
persisted in saying that Corkran wal
with him wher the girl was killed. Or
Tuesday night he visited Marshall Price
in the jail, made him kneel down and
then implored him by everything he
held sacred not to try to drag the in
nocent man into the case. but to be q
man, and if he was guilty to say SO like
a man. Nothing, he said, that he could
say or do could shake his sons insist
ence that Grant Corkran was his as
sociate in the crime. Mr.. Price said
that no application will be made for q
new trial.

Let Us Stand Together.

We believe and insist that the rank
discussion of the silver question in the
Democratic party at this time is entire
ly illadvised and fraught with serious
consequences. The party is hopelessly
divided on silver, az is the Republican
party. There is no national election
for eighteen months and the candidate
nominated by the party must repre-
sent compromise between the gold
monometalists and the free silver men
at the 10 to ratio. AS party politics
are no man on a platform represent
ing either of these views can next year
be elected President of the United
States. Why then should men recog-
nized as party leaders be lending in
fiuence and cOuntenance to the people
who are promoting dissensions among
Democrats in order to crafty their pet
| theories. Finance cannot in the pres
ent state of opinion be made a party
question in America. 1t is the part of
good sense to recognize and act upon
it. The man who does not and acts
accordingly is not loyal to the inter-
ests of any party.
The free silverites owe their strength
to the same force that gave the green
hackers strength twenty years ago
the results of great panic. The panic
has disappeared, it's results are fast
doing likewise and before the election
of 1896 comes on the free silver craze
will have lost its force as did the green
back craze in 1879, and the reason for
it will not be heated discussion or dog
matte assertion but because we are
prospecting under our present financial
system.
Though good many people seem to
have lost sight of it calm dispassion-
ate view of it's record, as compared
with the only party that can be
recognized as an opponent, shows that
the Democratic party is worth saving
IT we will but recall the Reed Congress
with its enormous pension payments
which have fastened upon us burden
largely the cause of all our troubles,
its high tariff with its blighting in
f1uence upon agriculture, anufactures
and trade. it's force bill calculated to
upset and imperil social conditions and
safe government in the South if we
but consider these things, we may con-
clude that we can be better employed
than by clutching at one another's
threats trying to force our party to be
pronounced in favor of what it can
never be and be successful party and
that is either free coinage or the gold
standard.
We compromised on the silver ques-
ton at Chicago in 1892 and won great
victory on the issues on which we were
united and very important issues they
were too. The silver question was
pushed to the front and was allowed to
split and divide the party, to weaken
our hands in the effort to carry out
party pledges and obscure the good
we did accomplish. Are we to learn
nothing by experience What have
the extremists a right to expect from
the republican party on finance Com
promise pure and simple.
Let us heal our differences, reform
our ranks and stand together to meet
the political enemy of the people and
that is the Republican paFty.-Rock-
bridge NeaDs.

Why Gov. O'Ferrall Has Called Ont
TrOODS.

Gov. O'Ferrall is perfectly right in
the position he holds in reference to
the interference of West Virginia min
ers with those of Virginia, and, as an
ounce of prevention is worth a pound
of cure, he has acted wisely in calling
out the troops. In an interview on
last Sunday, he is reported to have
said
"Our wn miners are all right. They
are going ahead with their work, and
permitted to continue at their avOca-
ton without molestation if they wish
to continue at their labors. / deny to
no man or set of men the right to quit
work if they want to. But I do con-
tend that man who has job and
wants to work has an equal right to
continue, and no man has the right to
prevent him. The Pocahontas miners
are at work and are satisfied with their
Jobs. But the miners from West V1r-
ginia are on strike and are trying to
induce the Pocahontas men to join
them. If persuasion fail, they will
probably attempt by force to make the
Pocahontas men quit work, and that,
l am determined, they shall not do.
They may also attempt to destroy
property in this State, and that, l am
determined, they shall not do if I can
prevent it. l have, therefore, assem-
bled an armed force near the scene to
protect the Virginia miners in their
right to work if they want to and to
protect property in this State from
depreciation.
In addition to the eight companies
of troops already sent to Pocahontas,
the captains of nearly all the uniform
ed companies in the State have been
instructed to have their commands
move speedily should their services be
needed.

Another Physician Gone.

DIR. George B. McCorkle, we'll known
throughout Allegheny county, died at
the Allegheny House in Covington Oh
Wednesday, May LIST, 1895, the result Of
Bright's disease. DR.. McCorkle is a
native of Rockbridge county, and a
cousin of Rev. E. W. McCorkle of Cliff
ton Forge. He came to Covington in
August, 1879, and entering upon the
practice of medicine, soon became pop
ular in his profession and built up a
big practice. subsequently, however,
he moved to Glasgow, Va, where his
family remained with Mrs. Johns, the
widowed mother of the doctors wife.
Something over year ago DIR. McCor-
kle returned to Covington, leaving his
wife at Glasgow. He was of kind and
generous nature and all who knew him
were his friends. He was member of
the Presbyterian church and belonged
to the masonic fraternity. His remains
were taken to Roekbridge Thursday
for burial, accompanied by James A.
McClung, wife and others. Mrs. Nc
Corkle, the wife, had been notified and
was at the bedside of her husband when
he passed away.-Clifton Forge Re

Shall We Have War or Peace?

Near the close of the last Republican
administration it's policy was such as
to make war with some foreign nation
probable at any time, and if it had
been continued in power such would,
we believe, have been the result. If
Harrison had been reelected we are
convinced that we would have been
involved in war before this time, and
we believe, Furthermore, that if the
Republicans shall be successful in the
next Presidential election that we will
have trouble and probably war with
one or more foreign nations during
that administration. In this connec-
ton we publish the following from the
Richmond Times
Heaven be praised, it now seems
| that the controversy between Great
Britain and Nicaragua is about to be
settled, so that the men bent on pro-
ducing war between this country and
England will probably have to wait
for another opportunity.
The occasion is Opportune, however,
for conservative people to raise their
voice in the strongest possible protest
against the entire policy which would
involve this country in war, unless
some other power deliberately and in
tentionally invades it's rights or insults
its authority. 1t is not at all probable
that any foreign power will ever do
anything SO foolish, SO that there Is no
reason why we should not be left alone
to work out the highest order of citi-

| of, and to produce before the world the
spectacle of country where perfect
| liberty prevails, and where every man
is given the fullest opportunity to work
out his own destiny, whatever it may
be, without unfair advantages afford
ed him by government, at the expense
of some other men, or burdens laid on
him that should be equally carried by
all.
The lingo spirit is abroad in the
land, however. and it becomes all good
citizens who abhor the cruelties and
barbarities of war. to assert them
selves, and have it known that they
will not be dragged into it by loud
mouthed clamorers, who would be the
first to seek places of safety If war
should really come.
1t is now put forward that Mr. Reed
is the man for the Republicans to
nominate in 1896, because he believes
in what is called an aggressive Ameri-
can policy, which would bring us into
a new collision with Great Britain at
once.
1t is said that, as Speaker of the next
House of Representatives, he will ap-
point Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions that will involve this country in
war with Great Britain, as a means of
overriding the silver question, and
bringing him to the front as the leader
of the war party.
We don't know how much founda-
ton there may be for such a state
ment, but it is one that the American
people should have their eye on. This
country does not want war. We want
peace and quiet, and an opportunity
to work out our future without let or
hindrance. But the idea of foreign
war is in the air, and it becomes all
good citizens to have themselves heard
from on the subject in no uncertain
tOnes.''

She is prepared for war. Russian

Count Ito will resign if allowed.
If Russia forces war Japan hopes

President Cleveland to Gov. Stone.

On the 21st of April Gov. Stone of
Mississippi, wrote a letter to President
Cleveland to which he replied on April
Goth, of which the following is the
greater and latter portion
when I received your letter l had
just finished reading letter of yours
in which you explain to the citizens of
Mississippi your views on the currency
question. 1t seems to me you have in
that letter contributed in the best
possible style and in most valuable
way to the fund of argument in favor
of sound money. l have never ceased
to wonder why the people of the South,
furnishing SO largely as they do prod
ucts which are exported for gold,
should be willing to submit to the dis
advantages and loss of silver mono
metallism and to content themselves
with a deprecated and fluctuating cnr-
rency, while permitting others to reap
profit from the transmutation of the
prices of their productions from silver
to gold, hope this letter of yours will
be given the widest possible circula-
ton, especially among our Southern
fellow-citizens, and that they will be
permitted to see the pitfall which is
directly before those who madly rush
toward the phantom light of free, un
limited and independent silver coin
age.
If we, who profess fealty to the demo
cratic party, are sincere in our devo-
ton to its principles, and if we are
right in believing that the ascendency
of those principles is a guarantee of
personal liberty. universal care for the
rights of all, non sectional, American
brotherhood and manly trust in Amer
lean citizenship in any part of our
land, we should study the effects upon
our party and consequently upon our
country of committal of the natiolsl
democracy to the silver arbitration
II there are democrats who suppose
that our party can stand on platform
embodying such doctrine, either
through its affirmative strength or
through the perplexity Of our oppo-
nents on the same proposition, on if
there are democrats who are willing to
turn their backs upon their party asso-
citation in the hope that free and I'M
limited and independent coinage of sill
yer can win victory without the aid
OF either party organization, they
should deceive themselves no longer,
nor longer refuse to look IN the race
the results that will follow the defeat,
if not the disintegration, of the demo
cratic party upon the issue which
tempts them from their allegiance. If
we should be forced away from our
traditional doctrine of sound and safe
money our old antagonist will take the
field on the platform which we aban-
don, and neither the votes of reckless
democrats nor reckless republicans will
avail to stay their easy march to power.
This is as plain as anything can posi-
bly, be.
1t, therefore, becomes the duty of
every democrat, wherever he may be,
to consider what such victory would
mean, and in the light of proper con-
ception of its results he SHOULD deliber-
ately shape his course.
Yours, very truly,

fatally injured. He had ridden be-

motive, and when he stepped off the
wind blew the smoke of the locomo-
tive down over the tracks so that he
did not see IL freight train approaching
from the West. He was struck and
thrown beneath the train, where his
right arm was crushed to the elbow
He had deep wounds on both sides OF
his face, was bleeding from the nose
and mouth, and had his skull frac-
tured. Later surgeons cut off his arm
near the shoulder. Jackson has a
wife and three children. and had been
in the employ of the company about
two years.
