spiracy case was closed in Norfolk yes

is now awaited with the keenest inter-
est. MIR. Eston Randolph, for the de-
tense, alluded to the southern senti
ment that convicted a man 10 advance
charged with any crime affecting a
woman's honor. Judge D. Tucker
Brooke closed for the desense in an
able argument. He said that he did
not condone or countenance the action
of his clients, but that they, being
charged with conspiracy to debauch q
young wife, must be proved guilty of
that, and not of reprehensible conduct.
He held that the only conspiracy which
had been proven was one against the
good name, but not the chastity, of the
child wife. Captain Alfred P. Thorn
closed for the prosecution in one of the
ablest arguments ever heard in Norfolk
and the case was then submitted.

the death between U. S. deputy mar.
shals aud gang of desperadoes. For
the past three years Milton Hickman

sued constantly, by the aid of friends
succeeded in evadiDg the officers. They
have looted almost every postoffice and
store on the border, and by their dar.
ing had so completely intimidated the
natives that they, through fear, often.
times sheltered them when holly pur-
sued. Sunday last Deputy Marshal b.
w. RAIDER and Arch McClung ascer-
tanned that Hickman was attending a
protracted meeting in the village church
at Muddlety, and Immediately depu-
tized a posse of eight of the more
fearless mountaineers, who quietly

and Immediately began firing. With
the first volley, Marshal RAIDER fell
dangerously wounded, but throughout
the conflict that ensued directed the
movements of the posse. Out of SYM
pathy number of mountaineers in the
congregation joined the cause of Hick-
man, and, as all were heavily armed,
the battle was bloody and determined,
but at the end, Hickman, who was fore
most in the fight, fell, pierced by sew
eral bullets. He expired In the arms
of his sweetheart. who encouraged him
throughout the battle for his life and
freedom. His followers weakened i'm.
mediately, and after few straggliog
shots ceased firing. The outlaws were
placed under arrest at once and are
now in Jail at Sommerville, the county
seat. One woman in the congregation
was shot through the neck and the arm
of her infant was shot of. Besides

Klondike's Wealth.

son of Secretary Gage, passed through

the wealth OF the Klondke have not
been exaggerated and that the first boat
down in the spring will bring at least
SIS 100000 in gold. Mr.. Gage looks
for other discoveries in that country
equally as rich as the Klondike. He
says there are at present about 1000

that there will be great deal of suffer-
ing from the fact that many men rush

ONE OF the republican newspapers Of
Baltimore, in its editorial columns, says
"a few republicans were allowed to
vote in Virginia "at the recent election.
Very few republicans did vote in Vir-
ginia to be sure, but Mr.. Yost, a Vir-
ginia republican Congressman, in the
Washington correspondence Of the
same paper, says that such was the case
sis due to the fact that certain mem-
bers of the Agnew organization sent out
q secret circular to the colored voters,
ordering them not to vote, and charg'
ing that if Colonel McCaull, our candi-
date for governor, was elected, it would
mean the restoration of the whipping
post. The result was, of course, that
the black vote remained away from the
polls" The correspondence and the
editorials of the paper referred to are
evidently not in accord.

MORE CODA dispatch from Fort
Yukon, Alaska, to the Baltimore Sun
says: After few days of exploring
Klondike proper and the famous gulch,
es that are tributary to it, the same
conclusion is reached that every man
who has been on the ground has reach
ed, and that ia, that almost every foot
of soil in the district con :aius gold and
the streams and gulches had fortunes
for thousands.
The districts which have been pro-
spected have all been found to be rich.
They vary in degrees of richness, but so
do the individual claims.
The truth is that no man knows
nearly how full of gold this whole
country is. There never has been o
case where systematic, steady prospect
ing here did not reveal gold in paying
qualities.
AS in all mining countries, the EARL.
est prospectors iran over" the ground.
No attempt even was made to read bed
rock, except in the region about Forty
Mile, and only there because the first
discovery had shown that there were
rich deposits if sufficient depth of work
were done to reach them, Now the
disposition will be to test every loca-
ton.
