A MYSTERIOUS Murder Called to Mind.

In the Supreme Court Of Appeals at
Richmond, Thursday, the suit Of the exec
utor of the late D. E. Cornell against the
Chesapeake & Ohio Ry. Co. and the Pull
man Palace Car Company, was decided in
favor of the defendant companies, Judge
Keith giving the opinion. This calls to
mind one of the most mysterious murders
that has occurred in the State. On the
night of August 1, 1891, a man who it is
supposed had been sitting in the front, OF
day car of the East bound Ches-
apeake Il Ohio train, entered the
sleeper lust after it pulled out from
Waynesboro. He pulled the curtain
of berth aside, but apparently not find
ing the person he was seeking, went on to
the next berth in which was lying Mr.. D.
F. Cornell. He said something to Mr..
Council, demanding his money. MI. Con-
nell kicked at him when the man fired
pistol at him the ball striking him in the
abdomen. The assassin leaped off the Car
and disappeared in the darkness. Mr.. Con-
nell was carried on to Charlottesville where
IA GWO VI CuiCC udyo Ao O1ou VI Alo WouAu'
From that day to this no trace has been
found of the murderer.
Mr.. Cornell was wealthy citizen of
Ohio, who had been attracted to Virginia
by the boom then in progress, and had
bought large iron interests in Craig coun-
ty. The murder created much excitement
in Staunton and it was alleged that when
the train stopped at this station man got
off it and running down the street scanned
the faces of the passengers who had gotten
off, but Immediately returned to the train.
But the man s identity was not established
nor was there anything to connect him
with the crime. The suit was to recover
$40, 900 damages from the companies on the
ground of contributary negligence. The
court decided that the defendant companies
had exercised all proper care.

THE LOGAN ELECTION,

The election in Logan was not Sc
much a party as it was peoples af

both tickets got enough votes from
the other party to elect. The soratchel

terminel the election.
So far as the election has any DO.
fitical significance, it is very encour
aging to the Democrats. At the last
election, the Republicans, ,on a straight
party vote, carried the town by ma
joritY of 50.
There is no politics in the grave
yard. There is no struggle for the
office of cemetery trustee, the candi.
dates for this Office get the full straight
vote of tie party, and this vote, like
the vote for Supreme Jud ge at state
elections, is the true index of the
party strength.
DIR: Blosser, the Republican can
didate for cemetery trustee was elect
ed by 46 majority.
This is an encouraging gain, and
with like vote oyer the county,
Hooking is Democratic by from three
to four hundred.
The Republicans were organized
and well disciplined while our party
had neither organization nor party
management. Yet in the face of this
onr gain, made by the quiet thinking
men voting on party ticket, is cer-
tain evidence of our success this fall.
Let us be hopeful.

Birthday Surprise.

From the New Lexington Tribune Mich IL.
The fifty-third anniversary of the
birth of John T. Starkey was cele
brated with circumstances more than
ordinary. Sunday, March sth, be-

was the scheme arranged and so sue
cessfullv executed, that he not even

there was such demonstration in
the near future. The object Of the
occasion was entirely successful near
ly all of which must be attributed to
his devoted wife who spared no pains
in making the occasion one of real
pleasure to all.
The event was celebrated on the

on Sunday. Mr.. Starkey and his
wife went to church ON that evening
as usual. She managed to detain
him along the way home until the
guests could gather from the church.
On arriving home lie asked his wife
why there was such bright light in
the parlor. He hesitated to enter
thinking possibly bis daughters beau
had arrived since he left the house.
Finally she persuaded him to go in.
saying "What's the difference" He
opened the door far enough to see in
and viewing the situation walked in
to the middle of the room and COM
menced to scratch his head.
Meanwhile the cooks were busy in
the kitchen and at about $3.50 O'Clock
the invitation was given to come to
supper. All were refreshed by the
bountiful repast.
Among those rresent-thirty-sev-
en- in number-was the Rev. Arthur,
of Gallipolis, o.
After supper they retired to the
parlor and spent the time i'll conoer-
sation and joking until the midnight
hour had arrived before all had de-
parted.
Mr.. Starkey acknowledged to his
many friends the completeness of the
surprise and they, one and all, unite
in wishing that he may live to cele-
brate many more birthdays.

ordained with the doctrine of the
gospel is broad-hearted man. He
may be narrow in some directions,
but bis heart is broad as the race.
He has room in it for the Jew, the
