Day, IL Caused Complication.

STAUNTON, November 2.-(Special.)-
Early this morning Colonel James c..
Cochran, Republican candidate for the
Senate, was suddenly stricken with heart
failure, and died at his home in the
presence of his family. His death greatly
complicated the election. as before his
demise many ballots had been cast for
him.
Colonel Cochran wss about 81 years
cid. a man of large means. high intelll-
gence, and possessing the esteem OF the
best citizens of the county. He served
one term as County Supervisor, and had
the high regard of his fellow-citizens. The
activities of the campaign are thought
to have superinduted his fatal illness.
He was a native OF Albemarle county.
and n widower. He leaves two children
Mrs. Annie Rawlinson and Mr.. Joseph
Cochran. He was a wealthy man, proba-
bly, worth 100000.
His death. after the beginning of the
casting Of ballots, caused dismay and
confusion among the opponents OF De-
mocracy. Divers schemes were made to
defeat the Democratic candidates, some
voting for Colonel Cochran, even after
they knew Of his death, and others voting
for his son. Mr.. Joseph Cochran Ia ia
Henry George. i'm New York;.
Colonel Cochran's death is greatly Ia
mented. and his political opponents are
eloquent i'm their euloges of him.

LAcKAYE IN THE ROYAL sEcREr.
Fine Performnnces-Thes star Quar-
rels With His Leading Lady.

rets Win HIS Leuu1nE Lauys
All persons are glad to see wiiton
Lackaye who honor the element Of mind
and who exult In the achievements OF
genius. The lovers Of novelty. likewise,
exult in his approach. and they find plea
sure in his presence. The occasion OF his
production Of THE Royal Secret at the
Academy last night was imposing with
mental effort and brilliant with social
interest. He has made, indeed, fruit
less expenditure Of his fine powers upon
a frail and rather sombre play. and upon
a weak part; but he has done 1t with the
same sincerity and skill, the same artistic
authority and personal force that nave
invariably characterized his pubic pro
ceedings. and his achievement. therefore,
commands respect. The play Is elapo-
rately mounted. and MI. Lackaye's sup
port Is excellent.
The part of Amanda Beaupre, which has
been played by Miss Fanny Mcintyre
hitherto was essayed by Miss Bretta
Griffen upon very brief notice. Miss Nc
Intyre left the company shortly before
the time for the curtain TO be rung up
az the result Of quarrel with Mr.. Lack
ave. The company appeared In Norfolk
on Monday night, and yesterday morning
the Landmark. of that city, praised MISS
McIntyre's performance very highly. and
stated that she had been given four cur
tain calls. but Mr.. Lackaye refused TO
bring her out. Last night Mr.. Lackaye
went to Miss McIntyre's dressing-room at
1880. and accused her OF writing the no
tiee. Miss Mcintyre denied the accusa-
ton. and hot words followed. The ac-
tress declared that she would not go on
unless Mr.. Lackaye apologized. and five
minutes afterwards she left the theatre.
Miss Mcintyre leaves for New York this
morning, and Miss Griffen will take her
place in the company.

what singular, but gratifying. that the
ministerial friend selected by the Bishop

Tinsley, ID. D., of Cincinnati-should, as
well as himself be a graduate of Hamp-
