A NOVEL DEER CHAsE.-Passepge

A NOVEL DEER CHAsE.-PasseDgers
who arrived at Newport News yester
day, en- the steamer Pocahontas, from
Richmond, tell of an exciting and novel
deer chase which occurred on the James
river. Shortly after the steamer had
passed Claremont large buck was
seen swimming in the stream. Those
passengers who had revolvers fired a
number of shots at the deer, but with
out effect. The deer passed the vessel,
after which the boat was put about and
q chase commenced. When the AMI.
NAL was reached q boat was lowered
with several men In it aud they captur-
ed the luck, bringing it aboard.

THE Washington Star says

"The democrats in Virginia will elect
the governor and probably the legisla-
ture, which will re, elect Senator Daniel.
The republicans, populists and some OF
the gold democrats are making fight
on an "honest election" Issue in the
legislative districts"
It is just as certain that the demo-
Gratis of Virginia will elect democratic
legislature as q democratic governor,
and the idea of the republicans, popu-
lists and gold democrats fighting for an
s'honest election" in view OF the fact
that Mr.. John Wise says the sum of
100000 of Mr.. Hanna's corruption
fund was sent to them last year with
which to effect dishonest election in
the State, makes all Virginia demo-
Gratis laugh, that is, all of them who are
well informed of current affairs.

new case was reported this morning.
No deaths had, however, occurred dur
ing the night. Eight people have been
discharged from the detention camp and
are mingling with the community.
The yellow fever hospital has received
a number of additional patients in the
past few hours. They are being scat
tered through the building and the
health officials are thoroughly fumigat'
ing the structure.
Cases are being numerously reported
now that the people believe that there
is yellow fever here, and even if the
case is only suspicious the Board of
Health makes record of it. There is
undisguised feeling against the Board
of Health because it is quarantining
people.
NEW ORLEANS. Oct, 1.-Up to noon
the board of health has reported one
less than dozen oases. One death oc
Cured this morning. Among the new
cases is Rev. Beverley Warner, Of

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. LIN couse-
quence of the yellow fever quarantine
in the southern States the Southern
Pacific Company has decided to close

other effect of the yellow fever scare is
the decision of the passenger depart
ment of the company not to run the

winter. 1t will run to Chicago instead.

FRIDAY EVENING. OCT. 1, 1887.

THAT the South, under the repuoll-
can administration, is rapidly coming
under negro domination, is made plain
nv the number ofnegro officials Mr.. Nc
Kinley has already appointed for this
section, among whom may be named
the following: collector OF internal
revenue in Georgia, naval officer at
New Orleans, postmasters at Athens
and Rainier, Georgia; collector OF the
port at Jacksonville, registrars OF the
land Office in Mississippi and Alabama,
and receiver OF public moneys in Ala
bama; all of whom have appointed dep
mites of their own race, and numerous
other Southern negroes to oonsulases
and important positions in Washing
ton. This is just what was expected
aud foretold by the democrats last year,
and vet the Richmond Times, that did
all it could to defeat the democratic,
and elect the republican Presidential
ticket. now says: 1.-THE white people
of the South will never submit to me-
gro rule, and whenever negro is ap'
nointed to an important local federal
Office, their fears are at once aroused
that the policy of thirty years ago is to
be again applied to them" If the
boilers had the least regard for what
other people think of them, they would
never open their mouths about what
their allies, the republican, either say
or do.

CoMsnrTED SUIC1DE.-Miss Cora
Kotschenrenther, who went to New.
port News from Baltimore only few
weeks ago, committed suicide Wednes.
day night by taking drug, the nature
of which is not known, but which is
thought to have been carbolic acid.
The unfortunate girl is said to have re-
spectacle parents in Baltimore. Ac-
cording to her story they live on west
Mulberry street. Cora, it is said, went
to Newport News to visit friends, but
commenced to lead a reckless life
shortly after her arrival there. 10
fact, her rash act which resulted in her
death was committed in house kept
by Mabel Laster, on Twenty third
street. The girl, it is said, was very
morose and engaged, apparently, in
deep thought during the entire day.
She frequently spoke of the shameful
life she was leading and expressed a
desire to reform, and to this end refused
TO see several men with whom she had
made previous engagements. About
10 O'Clock Wednesday night she
threatened to commit suicide and went
to her room. She wrote the address of
her father on an envelope and, handing
it to small colored girl who was in
the room, she hurriedly mixed a con-
coction in q cup and swallowed it. The
drug caused her to scream from pain.
The other women in the house rushed
to her room and sent for q physician.
Some time elapsed before one could be
found, and in the meantime the gill
sunk rapidly, breathing her last at
1890 O'Clock yesterday morning. She
was about IS years of age.

CLERGYMAN AS CORRESPONDENTS

CLERGYMAN AS Co. REsPoNDENT.-A
dispatch from Rochester, N. Y, says
The divorce suit of John Heberling
against Elizabeth G. Herberling, in
which Rev. David M. Kirkpatrick,
formerly pastor of the Second Univer-
salist Church there, is named as co.
respondent, is on trial before Justice
Dunwell, In the Supreme Court.
Kirkpatrick claims that he is the
victim of a colossal conspiracy. Last
winter he was arrested for impersonat-
ing an officer and attempting to terrify
fallen women. Kirkpatrick claimed
that he was collecting material for q
series of sermons dealing with the go
cial evil in Rochester. The minister
was acquitted in the police court.
Subsequently Kirkpatrick was dis
covered early In the morning in Mrs.
Heberling's apartments by several de-
tectiyes. Kirkpatrick asserted that q
trap had been laid for him and that he
was innocent of evil intent in calling
upon the woman. The Heberlings
have been separated for several years,
and Heberling was anxious to obtain
evidence against his wife. After the
alleged disclosure of Kirkpatrick's i'm
morality he was suspended by his con-
gregation, pending an investigation Of
his moral status. The investigation
begins next week.
Heberliug Immediately brought suit
against wife. Kirkpatrick returned to
his former home in Scotland, and only
recently came back to Rochester. He
intends to fight the charges. The d.
vorce case is being conducted in secret.
Mrs. Heberling is an unusually hand

complished. kirkpatrick was one of
