AN lNPOSTRlX.-Sarah Ann
Angel claims to have been legal
ly married to the late railroad
magnate and multi millionaire Jay
Gould, when he WAS a poverty
stricken youth, yet unknown to
fame and fortune. She has accord
ingly filed suit against the heirs
for recognition as such and for re-
covery of the widows portion. A
clerical gentlemen claiming to be
the Rev. Leighton, now eighty five
years of age, has made an affida-
Wit, alleging that he performed the
marriage ceremony between the
parties, description of whom he
also gives. 1t is very probable
that the plaintiff is all impostrix,
who has instituted the suit merely
for purposes OF black.mail, hoping
that the Could heirs would
not hesitate to purchase her
silence and the discontin-
uance of the suit, by the
payment of a large sum of "hush.
money" rather than have their
fatlle,'s name dragged into a court
of justice in a compromising OF
scan0a!Ous manner.

the untagged dog. While the
system in vogue in Alexandria

towns, Of permitting dogs to roam
the streets at will, whose owners

may inc: ease the treasury receipts,
it will afford no protection to the
men, women and children, who
are compelled to perambulate the

one safe course to pursue and that
is to pass stringent law requiring
the owners of dogs to keep them

it mandatory upon the authorities
to shoot them whenever they art
found upon the streets without d

sion agreed to continue in opposi.
ton to the regular Republican
State organization, aud to have
nothing to do with the "niggers'
and the old line of white Republi.

The sugar teats were turned
down by the st. Louis conventions
and they will conlinne to be turned
down, 50 far as leadership is con-
cerned, until they come into the
party through the regular way.
We need tneir strength, however,
little it may be, but they will moi
be allowed to usurp party manage
ment, party leadership and party
lonOrs, and this is what they are
trying to do.
We want no self appointed lead
ership. The Pughs, the Howells,
the McCalls must understand that
no man becomes a leader in the
Republican party by virtue OF
wealth and social position, as the
humblest black man in the party
is their peer. 1t takes votes to
make leaders, and the old.limc Re-
pub'icans have them. No "Llly
White" business in our politics
will be tolerated.
