BAD CASE OF "LIzzARD DUST. THE
Romney Recie,o describes the sad plight
of Andy Smith, negro who believes
he is bewitched. The case grows out
of rivalry that has existed for some
time between Andy and colored friend
for the kand of a dusty maiden. His
rival "conjured" Andy by taking .
dead lizard, grating the body and CIV
ing it to- him by some sucreptitions
method. From this ''lizzard dust"
sprang Lizards innumerable, which the
bewitched darkey swears he can feel
chasing each other up and down under
his skin. A local physician has prescribed
a remedy for the patient. He is to do
without drinking water for couple of
weeks and when real warm day
comes he is instructed to go out to a
stream of fresh water and lie down
Sat to drink. The Lizards hsving
become very thirsty will come out in
search of water, when Andy pro-
noses to get up take to his heels and thus es-
cape from farther torture. The negro is said
10 be in training for this event, and he will
tost the remedy in the course Of week or
zen DAYS provided he does no. in the mean
lime perish from thirst.

DRILL AT FORT MYER.-There was
slim attendance at the weekly exhibit
ton drill at Fort Myer yesterday after
noon. The troops were A, in command
of Lieut.. Short, and G, under Capt.
West. The latter came in first, aud
gave an exceedingly good exhibition of
rough riding, the vaulting being SUI
perb. Capt. Vests troop is known as
the "Black Horse" and will soon gain
an enviable reputation under that title.
Troop A entered with all the men stand
ing 10 crossed stirrups, riding Cossack
fashion, Lieut.. Short leading. The horses
we're spirited, the cold making them
risky, and they kept up at e stiff gait.
They circled the hall two or three
times, and Lieut.. Short took the centre
OF the hall, whether with the actorlike
idea of having the centre OF the stage
for what was to follow or not no one but
himself knows. The lieutenant was
mounted on handsome charger, used
for the first time, and all eyes were up
on him. He looked about the ring;
everything was ready, and he gave the
command "Take seats" At which all
the soldiers dropped into the saddles.
Lieut.. Short tried to do likewise, but
his horse gave a slight start and be
landed back of the saddle, turning
complete back somersault and landed
on his feet in the tan bark. There
was a spontaneous outburst of ap-
plause and laughter. Many people
thought the feat was one of the new
wrinkles of the drill, and wanted an
encore, but the lieutenant refused to do
his graceful fail again. The drill was ex-
ceedingly successful, both troops work
ing hard to maintain their regulations
as the crack troops of the Sixth, pc.
sition in which they are being crowded

GENERAL EDGAR ALLEN emphati-
cally and explicitly denies the state
ment of the Lambites that be is fight
ing their leeder because he was Con-
fsderate, and says the people among
whom he has lived for thirty years
know that ex Confederates are not
the objects of his ire. Col. LAMB tells
Mr.. Mike Murphy, who has declined
his appointment as chairman OF the
Richmond republican committee, at the
request Of General Allen, that no true
Irishmau will be bulldozed by an En-
plishman. So it seems as if the Colonel
is trying to divide his party by section
alsm as we'll as by nationality, and, as
j is reported that he wants to reorganlze
it n the lily white plan, also by the race
question. 1t required q Malone to
preserve discipline and order in the re-
publican party of Virginia, and Colonel
Lamb is not Malone.

Murder and Suicide

YoNKERs, n. Y, Mar. 14.-Shortly
before 9 o'clock this morning Alexan-
der Nemity, hungarian butcher, shot
his step daughter, 16 years old, through
the heart and then shot himself. Both
the girl and her murderer died almost
instantly. Mrs. Nemity, the Hugarian's
wife, says that Nemity made advances
to her daughter, which the girl reject
ed, and that he then killed her.
The girls name was Mary Witkow-
sky. Nemity had been married TO her
mother for about twelve years. He
began to pay attention to his step
daughter a few months ago. She
noticed that he was becoming TOO
atIectionate and told her mother, who
demonstrated with Nemity. About
S:45 this morning Nemity went from
the store into the living apartments IN
the rear, leaving his brother in charge.
As Nemity went in, his stepdaughterr
was preparing to 60 out. lie seizea
her and insulted her. Then without
word of warning he drew revolver.
Holding his stepdaughter close to him
he pressed the revolver to her breast
and pulled the trigger. She died i'm
mediately. Mrs. Nemity was in the
room when her husband seized her
daughter. He did it so suddenly and
fred the shot so quickly, however, thst
she could not offer any resistance:
Detectives heard the shot and fastened
in the direction of the shop. Before
thew got there, however, three more
shots rang out, and when the detectives
arrived in the living apartments in the
rear of the store everything was
in disorder. Mary Witkowsky lay
on the floor stone dead IN
the corner Of the room, while sit
ting in chair, still alive, was Nemity.
The detectives hastily summoned Dr.
Benedict, who arrived just as Nemity
died,
