Death Of Mr.. william White.

Mr.. William White died at his home near
Middlebrook, this county. at 9:15 o'clock
Tuesday night, the Goth.
For longer period than any other man,
Mr.. White was in the mercantile business at
Lexington, and as merchant and business
man he was widely known. On account of
his health, he moved in May 1893. to farm
in this county, where his last days were
spent. His health and strength have failed
him rapidly during the past six months, but
his last hours were peaceful and painless.
Mr.. White was born in Brownsburg, on
Oct. 18th, 1918. He was the son of Joseph
White. merchant Of that community. and
Anne Johnston White. daughter of Zach
eriah Johnston. His father died in his
child hood and at the age of thirteen years
he came to Lexington and entered the store
Of his uncle, Matthew White, as clerk. He
became associated with him later as part
ner. He afterwards embarked in business
on bis own account, and continued Lex
ington merchant until 1887. when he closed
up his store. He was called to fill many
positions of trust by his fell ow citizens.
For long period he was treasurer of the
town OF Lexington; he was at one time
treasurer of Washington College, and was
an ante-bellnm magistrate The Rock
bridge News says
Mr.. White was a member and elder of
the Lexington Presbyterian church, and as
member and elder his name had been on its
rolls longer than that Of any one living. He |
was ordained ruling elder October 21st,
1855. His interest was always thoroughly l
enlisted in the work of his church and he Il
DEVOTED much time and attention to the care |
of its affairs.
Mr. White was married in 1874 to Miss
John Sproul Of Augusta county. She died
In 1879. Eight children were the issue of |
this marriage. of whom the following are
now living: Jhhn S. White and Miss NJ.

A Scorcher.

A party giving his name as A. A, Parker
came to Staunton on a VINCE .jpNt before the
bicycle races last wee, secident met
DR.. NJ o. Burkholder, x15 lf ne N, .old that
he was rider of great speed and that he
wanted to enter the races, but did not want
the other riders to see him as they might
rule him out. He did not therefore want to
60 to hotel, but would like good priv a tie
boarding house. The doctor out of the
goodness of his heart and anxious to see the
races success invited him to stop with him,
which Mr.. Parker did. He then changed
his forgery to citizens clothes ensconcing
himself in one of the Doctors best summer
suits, though the Doctor weighs 1870 and Mr..
Parker with his wheel added would not
have tilted the beam at 49, The Doctor
kept the secret Of this new find from the 9th
er wheelmen, but gave tip to several close
friends, as to where to put their money in
the event they chose to chance any thing on
the result The races were delayed on &C.
count of rain, but the new find was hid
away by the Doctor and only appeared af-
ter dark and then in the DOctor's best
clothes. On Thursday Mr.. Parker conclud-
ed to take spin for exercise lest he grow
stif before the races came of. The Doctor
was keeping bachelors hall for week, and
being at his office and not wishing to 20
home just then handed the swift wheelmen
the house-key so that scorcher could get his
bicycle. AS the gentleman did not return
when in reason he was expected the Doctor
went up and looked over the house. He
found valuable pistol gone, gold collar
button, and probably other valuables. In
the mean time this newly made acquain-
lance had gotten the Doctor to cash a draft
for ten. He is no doubt merrily spinning
along chuckling over how dead easy some
things are. 1t turns out that Parker has
been guilty of many offenses in different
parts OF the state, and that the police are af-
'er him. A warrant came from down the
Valley to Capt Waters. Chief Of Police,
)ut he was so we'll dressed, the Capt. did
lOt recognize him.

Bicycle Races.

Those Of our people who did not see tn
bicycle racing at the fair grounds last wee
missed one OF the most interesting exhibi
tiOns, which ever took place liere. Three yer
| fine riders were in the races to wit. A. c
Moran, Of Washington, Fred Schade. o
| Herndon, Va, and Griffin IIalstead, of Gin
| cinnati, son of the Hon. Murat Halstead
our ambassador to France. Schade (pro
| nounced Shoddy) has won great reputation
throughout the north in the collegiate race
winning almost every where 1t is reported
That ne has taken 81 first prizes out of 81
Last year he and Halstead were students a
Columbia University. Washington. Mr.
Schade holds the championship of Virgin ID
which was put up here last week and raced
for but easily held by him.
Mr.. Moran during the 5 mile handicap
race met with painful accident by the
bursting of his tire. when they were going
at rapid pace and was bruised and cut
rather badly.
In addition to the above there were other
good riders, z. B. and r. e. Mckenzie, of
charlottesville, Tom Bowling, of Staunton,
and W. D. Riuehart. of Harrisonburg, Mr..
Rlnehart won the mile handicap, but his
start over Schade was about 425 yards and
nearly as much over the others. In one of
the races MIR. Rinehart fouled Tom Bowling
causing him to fall This foul lost Mr..
Rinehart, the race as he was winning easily.
1t seemed to US purely accidental foul
caused by the swerving of Mr.. Bowling,
who was endeavoring to spirit and was
working very hard, and by the swerve Mr..
hlnohart had no chance to avoid striking
him.
Mr.. Rinehart's prize in the mile handi-
zap was gold watch. The one mile open
was won by Schade, in the second heat the
lrst race resulting in tie. The track was
n flne order. but owing to the fact that the
aces were to have been run on Wednesday
'ut on account Of rain were postponed till
friday, the attendance from outside the
ity was almost lost.
1t has suggested itself to US and OTHERS we
hink, that twenty foot bicycle track could |
e made just inside the present racing track
nd properly cindered, and when so made |
Weather would have no effect Now that
has become thing of the age
UGH track would add to the interest of
ur agricultural fairs and doubtless be the /
3ature for some time. We mention this so
nat those who are interested in the success
the bicycle meet may have time to think
over and if approved work for its accom-.

The Bloodhounds are Here.

On the evening Of the 10th the three fine
young bloodhounds that we had before told
OF Deputy She riff Dawson's having ordered
from Fort Recovery, Ohio, arrived here and
nave since been confined in the lot in the
rear OF the Jail. They are six months old
and the size of our ordinary cur dogs or
hounds. When fully grown they weigh 100
pounds. "Darkey' is quite black and
"Bruiser" and "Bunt" are dark yellow.
They are not the ferocious CANNES that
many suppose judging by the name blood
hounds. They are simply endowed with
seen: for the human being, the same as a
bird dog has for bird. When they run
down a man they do notproceed to eat him.
but stand off and bay him to attract atten-
ton and hold him until he is captured
These dogs are pretty and intelligent SEEM
ing, and persons who can should see them.
They have very large and long ears and
large mouths and tongues.-Argus.
