painful to any of the denomination he has so magnanimously served to see his name lampooned and cast out as vile l do not know MT Rockefeller. I am in no sense his champion, except with the desire not to see injustice done-a man who has been a benefactor of that denomination to which l owe allegiance.
 It is asserted by your correspondent that Rockefeller has given little to benevolence, while he is unfavorably contrasted with Vanderbilt The Vanderbits have given less than two millions to the great univer- city which bears their name, while MT. J. D. Rockefeller has given over five mill lions to the university he expressly stipu- lated should not be named after him. He has also given to educational institutions in almost every state in the entire south, well as the north. Recently, to my cer- tain knowledge, he gave his check for a quarter of million for an object of the purest benevolence.
 An honored friend, Dr. P. s. Henson, pastor of the First Baptist church of Chi cago, told me in my parlor that when he went to New York to see MT. Rockefeller in regard to assisting Chicago university, the latter told him he held his great wealth as the steward of the Lord, and desired to spend it so as to accomplish the most good.
 It is not necessary to say that never have I personally or officially been the re- cipient of cent of John D. Rockefellers s millions.
 On the contrary, to me he has been a very slow correspondent. made the sug- gestion to him, in the very heavy debt of the South Side Baptist church, that it might be good place to ease himself of moiety of his burdensome millions. And again, president of the board of trus- tees of Howard college, when it seemed that useful and burdened institution of learning would be closed under mortgage, I suggested to him a good way to invest a few indifferent thousands. To neither communication have I received any~reply yet. But because MT. Rockefeller may not agree with me to the best way to use his money is no reason I should fall out with him. I doubt not he is doing what he conscientiously feels is for the best in the use of his large fortune. Thus being free from obligation, and knowing as much per- haps as anyone in the community of Mir. John D. Rockefeler's magnificent and wise benefactions, it seemed to me my duty to respectfully protest that a man has been held up to contumely and contempt be- fore your readers, and a gross wrong in fiicted upon him, and that these few bare facts at least might be made known to those who have read the article above re- ferred to-. Respectfully,
 P. T. HALE,
 Pastor South Side Baptist Church.

MR. LUETGERT ONCE AGAIN The Burly Sausagemaker On His
 Second Trial. THE CROWD WAS LARGE The Line of Defense Will Be the Same as That Employed in fhe Former TriaI-Both
 Sides Present Their Case.

Chicago Dec. 14-After two weeks spent in securing a jury, the second trial of Adolph l.. Luetgert, the burly sausage maker, accused of murdering his wife, Louisa, was commenced before Judge Gary today. The court room was crowded when the case was called.
 The prosecution, as in the former trial, was represented by States Attorney Dineen and Assistant States Attorney McEwen, while Luetgert had on his side as defend CTS Attorneys Harmon, Reese and Koepe. Assistant States Attorney McEwen made the opening address for the state.
 The speaker opersed with a resume of the somewhat checke red career of the prisoner and then referred at length to the incidents attending the discovery by Diedrich Biek- anasse and the police that Mrs. Luetgert had disappeared, the police investigated and the resulting disclosure in the basement of the factory were narrated.
 At the close of MT. McEwens address recess was taken until afternoon, at the request of Attorney Harmon for the de- fense.
 After recess Luetgert's side of the case was presented to the jury. Attorney Har- mon, for the defense, made his opening statement after Assistant States Attorney McEwen had finished. The defense will rely upon the soap theory to explain the condition of the vatS on the morning fol- lowing the night of the supposed murder,

THE ROCkEFELLERS.
pr. Hale Speaks in Praise of Iodn DIS Large
 Gifts.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 I notice in your issue of yesterday, Dec. 12, an article in which 1t seems to me a great injustice is done to MT. John D.. Rockefeller. The accusation is brought against Wm. Rockefeller that he sued a lady for the pasturage of COW. Then the name of John D. is brought in. Of both men the following highly uncomplmentary language, together with much more, is used:
 '"The Rockefelers are the enemies of so- ciety. They are the enemies of good gov- ernment. They are enemies of the Christi ian religion. They are enemies of patri- otic sentiment. They are enemies of hon. est labor They are enemies of honesty. They are enemies of men who toll and women who drudge. They are a disgrace to humanity. They object to paying their honest taxes. They object to an honest assessment of their property. They ob- ject to paying one dollar to support the government. They object to doing what honest men find pleasure in doing. If a poor man is unable to pay his taxes, his property is sold for taxes. The Rockefel- lers threaten to shoot assessors who come upon their property They threaten to kill tax collectors iwho are serving the state. If the Rockefellers be Christians. hell is filled with millions of better people than they"
 As to the good taste of such an article as to its beneficial or baneful effect, or as to the moral right of so handling the name of any man, shall say nothing.
 Of MT Wm. Rockefeller I know nothing. As to the claim of the Standard oil com pany, that they have both lessened the price of coal oil and improved its quality I have nothing to say But earnestly protest that the character of John D. Rockefeller has been unjustly held up to the scorn and contempt of your many thousands of readers. MT. John D. Rocke- feller is a member of a Baptist church. His generous gifts to our people makes it

Greenbrier Valley Democrat.

We have from Capt. G.. L. Smith and
others, Committee. circular letter
and prospectus explaining the plan pro
posed for the establishment of a news
paper at Ronceverte to be known as the
Greenb1ier VALLEY Democrat. The
Committee deems the establishment of
a Democratic paper ut ROnceverte a
necessity in order to counteract the in
iluence of Republican paper which
they are advised is about to be estab-
lished at that point.
1t is proposed to buy for 81 200 the
plant of the Hinton Register, now owned
by Ii. b. Moore, move it to Ronceverte,
obtain charter for the Company and
run the Democrat under the manage
ment of a board of directors. In or
der to raise the money to purchase Mr..
Moore's plant ut Hinton it is proposed
to sell stock at $500 share 5000 of
which the Committee hopes will be
taken by the Democrats of Greenbrier,
and the balance, $500, they hope to dis
pose of in Monroe and Pocahontas.-
Persons Interested in the enterprise
can obtain copy Of the prospectus,
explaining the plan in detail, by applying
to Capt. &. Il. Smith, Chairman of the
Committee, at Ronceyerte.
Success to the Democrat and all honor
to our friends at Ronceverte. whose en-
terprise and party zeal are we'll worthy

Court of Fayette county, died at the

Greek, last Sunday morning, at IL
o'clock. Last Thursday one of Judge
Brazie's legs was amputated and since
that time he had been gradually sinking,
until the sad end came. The amputa-

from which the Judge had suffered for
some time. Judge Brazie was a native
OF New York and nephew Of the late
Roscoe Conkling, his mother being
COnkling's sister. He came to West

In Fayette county, where he had resided
ever since.
