party are against them now and are in
favor of convention and of having a
republican ticket for republicans to
vote for, and that if they should refuse
to support that ticket, the party would
have to slough them of. In this con.
veution it may be said that now that the
Virginia republicans are quarrelling
with each other secrets about the
exnendi lure of the share of Mr.. Hanna's

AGAINST GAMBLING.-Rev. W. B.
Beauchamp, prstor of st. James Meth
odist Church, Richmond, preached
Sunday night sermon on gambling,
10 which he inveighed boldly against
stock speculation and progressive gu.
chre. He denounced all species of
gambling as stealing and said
"There is species of gambling very
common in this and other cities among
the negroes. 1t is called craps in
social circles It is called progressive
euchre.' There is no difference. The
persons who play euchre, progressive
or otherwise, for prizes are violators OF
the law against gambling as much as
the negroes who play craps and
should be arrested, as has been done in
some cities, and punished"
The preacher said of stock gambling:
mo species OF this great evil is worse
than the bucket shops-places where
robbery is committed systematically
and for this stock gambling is RESPONSE
BILE. Strange to relate, there are
church members engaged in this ne
farious business. The farmer and the
workingman starve, while the gambler
in stocks an grain grows richer. 1t is
not strange although lamentable fact,
that the working people are beginning
to look upon the church as rich mans
establishment. Who is responsible for
this opinion? The men who gamble
in stocks all the week and pass around
the contribution plates on Sunday"

THE EASTMAN CASE.

In the Supreme Court of Appeals Of
West Virginia, at Charlestown yester.
day the petition of Colonel Robert
Eastman, indicted on the charge of the
murder of Frank E. Thompson in
Tucker county, for writ of prohibit
ton against Judge Holt, of the Circuit
Court of that county, came up for de.
cision, the hearing and argument having
taken place September 2 on the motion
to dismiss the temporary rule made by
counsel for the State. The court is
equally divided and the rule could not
be dismissed. Ga the question OF
granting the permanent writ of prohi.
bition, the court is also divided and it
cannot issue. 1t was intimsted by one
of the judges that the court would is-
sue rule against Eastman requiring
him to come into court and make mo.
ton to perpetuate the temporary writ,
and on that question there would be q
divided court, and the temporary rule
would be discharged.
The main question before the court
was whether the facts of the case made
it proper one for writ of prohibition
or for a writ of error, and on this ques-
ton the court is divided, and the writ
will not be issued. The action of the
court leaves the Indictment against
Eastman stand, and his trial will have
to take place in Tucker county before
Judge Holt. Judges English and Dent
were of opinion that the writ should be
granted, from which Judges Brannou
aud McWherter dissented.
In the habeas corpus proceedings in.
stituted by Eastman, the court refused
to discharge him and remanded him to
the jail of Tucker county. Col. East
ham has been confined in Jail in Charles
town since his case was submitted to the
court, awaiting decision and expecting
his discharge on the habeas corpus.
The sheriff of Tucker county will re-
turn to that county with him in few
DAYS.
