Murder in First Degree.

The trial of the case of Charles Nc
Bride for murder was concluded on las
Wednesday at Stuart. Va by the yer
dict of guilty of murder in the first de
gree.
The murder for which Charles Nc
Bride was convicted was one of Lht
most brutal ever perpetrated in thai
part of the State. On the I'd of Janu
airy, 1896, A. B. Crawford, a young mar
OF twenty two years, left his home tt
visit relatives ten or twelve miles dis
tant. After two days had elapsed with
out his return his friends began te
grow uneasy and a searching party
was organized, which secured the
country for miles around. On the 9th
of January his body was found four
miles from home in the corner of a
fence, covered with leaves and mangled
in the most horrible manner.
His jugular vein was severed: there
were seventeen stabs and cuts on hls
body; his skull was crushed by a pow
erful blow from behind, and load of
shot had been fired through bis head,
after life was extinct. Sus-
picion at once pointed to the prisoner,
and after q very searching inyestiga
ton enough evidence was found to put
him Oh trial at the May term of the
County Court The result was q hung
iury. and the case WAS continued till
the November term.
The evidence was all circumstantial.
His attorneys have asked for Il suspen
sion of sentence to allow them to take
an appeal.

The Railroad Middle.

There is no end in sight OF the mud
die between the B. & 0. and the
Southern in regard to traffic arrange
ments over the Valley Division. If one
leaves Staunton for Harper's Ferry or
Washington, or any intermediate sta
ton beyond Harrisonburg, on the
morning train, he may reach his desti-
nation that day or he may not. If the
B. 4 O. is on time at Harrisonburg the
passenger has minute or two to
catch the Southern, which stands on
on the same track some yards beyond
when the B. & o. comes to standstill
at the lower or old depot at Harrison
burg. When the B. & 0. checks up
everybody runs as if he would break
his neck down the track where the
painting Southern train stands, it's en-
gineer with throttle in hand ready to
start down the Valley. If the person
is old or crippled he stands no show on
earth of catching the train which
seems so near. and yet so far. If the
passenger has baggage he abandons it
entirely and trusts to providence prin-
cipally to get it again. He has no time
to buy ticket or get baggage checked,
but out of breath climbs up the steps
thankful that he has himself safely
aboard.
The people at Harrisonburg inform
US that the freight business is worse
mixed than the passenger. Rates have
been advanced SO as to bear they say
with great heayiness on them. Salt
has been advanced ten cents a sack,
cement % cents per barrel, and many
other things in like manner until the
Harrisonburg merchant alleges that
he can no longer do business in COM
petition with Stanton and other
points. Northwestern points we find
are entirely cut off from Staunton.
that is such points as Wheeling, Pitts
burg and others. A Staunton mer-
chant we learn ordered from Wheeling
a dozen railroad wheelbarrows a short
time ago, which cost about 5000 per
dozen. They were shipped by the B.
& o. and when they got to Staunton,
we learn the freight bill exceeded $40
for the lot. These are only part of the
troubles which have caused tears of
anguish to be shed by the people along
the Valley from Lexington to Harri-
sonburg. All kinds of remedies have
been suggested, and compulsion men
toned. The Interstate Commerce
Commission has doubtless been invok-
ed, and but for the early adjournment
of the U. s. Grand Jury at Harrison
burg it is said that body would have
been asked to find true bill'' against
somebody or something. Communica
ton with Harrisonburg from Staunton
and south of it has been nearly stop
ped by the changed schedule. The |
beastly hour of three in the morning
ring himself to embark for that point. |
The Stauntonian who in most every
thing is blessed beyond his neighbors,
has an hour and half longer to slum
Der before he must leave his downy
couch. But even to arise at half past |
five on wintry morning to go to so
attractive point as Harrisonburg. is
now seldom INDUCED in for pleasure
alone, and if our friends of the rocky
city do not see us with ancient and
frequence and listen to us
as we envy them their new court house,
it is not because our friendly relations
have grown cold, but because we are
opposed to early ris-
ing 1t gives us headache.
