1t was just after the enthusias
tic endorsement of Mckinley that
many OF the delegates of Mime
sofa were seated around in groups
at the Merchants Hotel eagerly dis
cussing the political situation as
they awaited the arrival of their
respective trains, when an empty
bottle dropped from the pocket of
a Republican Delegate, whose sig
nature is prominent by conspjc-
uous lex affixed to his name.
The ringing cl1nk of the offend
ing bottle, as it struck the stone
II DOR, drew the attention of all
to him and the bottle
under his chair. A SIN othered
laugh burst forth, while the face
of the man became extremely red.
But friend, seeing his embarras-
ment, stepped forward and said !:
i have been skeptical as to my
friends political faith, but if he
has ever had leaning to the dem
ocratlc cause, the opportunity Of
his life has come, for he can re-
form and be a good Republican
now that he has cast away his
bottle. Again the laugh went
round ard all took the accident
as capital joke.

IL, 1896 on the farm whereon

The funeral train has carried
another loved form to that "Silent
City The places that knew him
here will know him no more. After
uneasy weeks ofpain he has passed
through the clark valley" and
entered into that rest prepared for
the redeemed.
Only twenty -seven-with SO
much Of promise in his bright,
young manhood. Quiet, industrious,
prudent, and possessed of sGerl-
ing integrity. The kindness Of his
nature was manifest in his love
and devotion to an invalid sister,
to make her pathway brigh ter aud
her heart happier. He was bis
mothers baby; The youngest Of
the household, and in manly way
chung to mother, ever Thoughtful
of her comfort. In his last sick
ness he thought Of those around
him fearing his malady might
prove fatal to others, being a con
tagious disease, measles. He had
been ailing for nearly two years
and had not stength to cope with
that dread destroyer HIS aged
parents, two brothers and two
sisters, are left TO mourn for him.
The funeral took place from the
Presbyterian church at Hager. Rev.
II. Ardahl, pastor Of the Swedish
church officiated. Portions Of the
services were given in both the
English and Swedish languages.
The interment was in the Trenton
cemetary. The sympathy of the
community is extended to the
sorrowing family.

practice the plain virtues, but not
hard to SO griser de mots about la

with passion for the plain virtues
and capable of inspiring this passion
in others. His intellectual qualities,
his perception of the law of evolu

and adroitness in shaping his course
accordingly are far more remarka-

VIRGINIA REPCRLICANS.

The republican State committee met
in Richmond last night and elected
new executive committee, to whom
Chairman Lamb Is subordinated Col
Lamb was not present and the meeting
was presided over by Gen. JAMES a
Walker. The session was called at the
instance Of the Waddill. Brady.AlaD
faction Of the committee, the original
Mckinley members Of the body, for the
purpose Of electing a new executive
committee, abri1giEg the powers OF the
I chairman 10 accordance with the rules
laid down by the recent State repuoli
can convention, and arguing as to who
should be chosen TO succeed Lamb as
chairman. Il was a great victory for
the anti Lambites They went into the
meeting with 10 40 votes OF total OF
80 BY seating Two conte=tirg delega-
tons from the Second and Fourth dis
tricts, the number was brought up to
IS 40 leaving Lamb only 3 6-l0 mem
bera Of the committee. There were
twenty-six Of the thirty members OF the
committee present. The new execu-
tive committee il composed Of Judge
Edmund Waddll, Gen. James a.
Walker, Col. James D. Brady and Park
Agnew. These are all said TO be anti
Lamb men. and in the recent campaign
acted in harmony with the Waddill-Al-
Ian faction Of the party. No attempt
was made to GUST the chairman, but
the action Of the committee in selecting
an executive committee who are in &C.
cord with his opponents has shorn Col.
Lamb Of all power in the future.
The committee has control Of all Of
the affairs OF the party and without its
concurrence the chairman, it is main
tanned, can take no important action.
Col Lambs friends made no attempt
to defeat the programme which was
carried out last night. The committee
seated the antiLamb contestants for
the Norfolk and Petersburg districts.
The committee adopted resolution
highly commendatory Of the services OF
Col. y. i. Scott, of West Virginia,
member OF the national executive com
mttee, and urging his selection Is one
of the advisers Of Preaident.elect Nc
Kinley.
Gen. Siith Boiling, of Petersburg,
was not put back on the committee.
The reason for this, it is believed, is
that it is in contemplation to make
that gentleman the chairman Of the
central committee at some time in the
near future The committee voted an
expression of preference for General
Boiling. They adjourned to meet in
Norfolk on December 18th, when the
question Of electng State chairman
will be taken up. Lambs friends are
indignant.

MATTHEW'S CONTESTS.

At Ia Plata, Md, George Matthew'S,
the assassin Of James ]. Irwin, was yes
tsrday evening found guilty Of murder
IN the first degree, and sentenced to
death by Judge Bri=coe. After his
conviction Matthews Acknowledged his
guilt, and was very bitter against Mrs.
Irwin.
Ths case was given to the jury short
Is before five O'Clock, and that body
del!berat=d only eight minutes. In re
Dly to question Of Judge Briscoe
~ns,her he aad 4 ything to say why
sentence OF death should not be pro-
bounced againa, him, Matthews said :
Yes, sir, all | have to gay il that it
was trap, made by q woman, to
eaten me in. She used 10 tell me
that her husband would xiii me:
tina; he would steal down to my
shanty some night and kill me.
4 That woman and her sister, Mrs.
1 Bourne, are at the bottom Of it. You
! can coodemn me and turn that woman
( loose, if YOU viii, but you might a. well
/ turn the devil right out Of hell a. to
/ let tina, woman 20. You can hang
me an guilty, but woman is at
the bottom OF it.
Judge Briscoe then pronounced the
sentence Of death by hanging. The
prisoner was handcuhed while seated
ia the courtroom, and was taken TO jail
followed by great throDg There
! little doubt that the prisoner will
make full confession and incrimi-
nate Mrs. IRWIN in the murder.
4 large number Of people in the coun
! ty believe that she either helped to Kill
hcr husband, or was awake and saw
Matthews when he fired The fatal shot
The verdict Of the jury has given
uufVersal satisfaction in the county
The next move in the case will be
, the arraignmcnt Of Mrs. Emma irwin
wife OF the murdered man, who Is
charged With being an accessory. Her
trial will take place either Monday Of
Wednesday Matthew'S implication Of
Mrs. Bourne may cause further action
and the entire plot viii be revealed.
Arrangements for the murder Of IT.
win were being made weeks prior tc
the night OF the brutal and coWardly
assault. At one time Mrs. Irwin il
said to have obtained strychnine, with
which to kill her husband. Her nerve
failed, however. While sleeping at
home irwin was shot in the head by
his wife's paramour The fatal wound
was Inflicted by shot from musket,
the barrel Of which was 80 close to the
sleeping mans head that it siuged the
hair. During the trial letters were
read from Mrs. Irwin to Matthews and
from the latter to her, in which their
intimacy was revealed. Several weeks
ago Matthews escaped from Jail. A dill
gent search was made for him but the
murderer could not be found. After
being at liberty three or four days he
surrendered himself.
