Wounded.
NEWPORT NEWS. VA. January A.
Especial News was received I'm this city
this morning OF murder. which occurred
near Morrison. a station on the Chesa-
pealIe and Ohio railway. about five miles
west Of here. The killing occurred late
Saturday evening, and was the result Of
a drunken brawl. IL seems that Jake
and John Miller, two negroes, had been
drinking during the day, and went to
Morrison for the purpose Of preciptating
a row. They met several persons on the
way 10 the station. with whom they quar-
relied. and two or three men were badly
beaten. The negroes ran ono white man
into a store. and the proprietor closed
and locked the door. This incensed them,
and they procured clubs and attempted
10 batter the door down. but were I'M
successful. The two Millers then started
down the road followed by a party of
fifteen other negroes, who said they in
tended 10 catch the Millers and club them.
An encounter took place. and. as re-
suit Jake Miller was shot i'm the abdO-
men and almost instantly killed. John
Miller was shot through the right eye.
but will recover. Seven negroes were ar
rested yesterday, and lodged I'm the Jail

known who did the shooting. a corO-
ners inquest will be held tomorrow.

and Mrs Frayle turned and looked at her. The merriment had wholly van. pushed from the girls face. Mrs Frayle felt a vague curiosity to know what oc. casioned the sudden change.
 Which way'd she go?" she asked.
 Up towards the Ellises,'' said Julia, in 3 tone as dull as before. Mrs FraYIe went to the window and looked out.
 '1 don't see her nowheres, 5 she said looking back at her niece. ssWhat do you s'pose become of her?
 Julia went to the sink and turned the faucet noisily. Her face was not yisi- ble to her aunt. The tinkle of the run ning water gave her voice smothered sourd. 'sShe got ride,n she answered presently, Reuben Carter came along and took her in. Won't she make out a pretty storyg' She ended with short, harsh laugh. Mrs Frayle's face con- tracted.

 Miss Polly had welcomed Reuben Carter's providential invitation with ex- ultation. It enabled her not only to avoid the long walk over the dusty and shadeless road, but to find confident for the wrath that was consuming her while her recollection of it's cause was still fresh. The sturdy young farmer noticed the light in her worn eyes and the unwonted color on the wrinkled cheeks, but attributed both to the heat, and felt great compassion for the frail old creature whose life seemed to him so difficult.

EASTON,
BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES.

Next Thursday evening, May ?, Prof Timothy Drake of Abingdon, Mass, will present the Passion Play of Oberam- mergau" at the Baptist church. This play is looked upon by all people throughout Christendom to be 8 grand sacred lesson. The views are shown with strong calcium light and portray in striking, lifelike manner what Christ did for us the last week he was on earth.
 Charles j. Hughes of the Stratford Granite Works, Bridgeport, has recently placed two very handsome pieces of work in the cemetery at Easton Baptist church. One is Scotch granite cottage monu ment, on the lot belonging to the daugh- ters of the late Reuben and Catherine Gilbert. The other is heavy Quincy granite tablet for Reuben Gilbert and wife. MT Gilbert was former resident or thls town, put died many years ago. His widow was daughter of the late Samuel Lyon of Tashua, and she recent ly died at Long Hill, at the advanced age of 93 years, and was brought here for in- terment beside her husband.

cltedly. Mrs Frayle did not know what to do.
 'Julyie don't mean half what she says" she hastened to interpolate apolo- getically. "She's young and quick tempered and fighty, but you remember Mirandy Coles-she's her mother right over agin, for all the world. l hope you won't lay it up agin her, Miss Polly. never pay no 'tention to her when she's like that"
 In her distress the crul!er which she was holding aloft fell back into the ket- tie with splash that sent little spatte rs of fat radiating in all directions. Both women screamed and jumped backward, Miss Polly's shawl getting entangled in her chair so that the latter tipped oyer, dragging her with it. The noise they made brought Julia from the cellar. with face of consternation. Mrs Fravle had picked Miss Polly up, and both women were satisfying themselves by sundry pulls and shakes that she was unhurt The picture presented to the gaze of the fun-loving girl, as the two women stood facing each other, shaking their bespattered clothing, and making futile attempts to extricate the shawl, and restore the heavy chair to an up- right position, was irresistible. She threw back her pretty head, and laughed | so that the room rang. The stinging deluge, supplemented by the laugh, com pleted Miss Polly's discontinue. She gave violent pull to her shawl, which freed it minus much of it's fringe, and pinned It on with shaking fingers.

 Mrs Frayle dropped down on the oyer- turned chair, too nearly petrifled to ex- Postulate. Straits of this kind had not come in her way, and she did not know how to meet them. She was too much overcome even to follow her departing guest to the door, but Julia did so and watched her hurrying down the walk with the speed of one spurred on by righteous indignation. She was already ashamed of herself, but pride would not allow her to humble herself before Polly Anderson. It was several minutes be- fore she returned to the kitchen. Mrs Frayle, aroused to life by sight of the beer bottle still in the hand of her niece, slowly arose from her unsafe position.
 II s'pose she's gone said she.
 "Yea," answered Julia, briefly.
