physicians was directed especially TO re-
ducing this. Their efforts in that direc-

Ger, one of the attending physicians. told
the Dispatch reporter tonight that he had

recovered. He said that while the chances
were against the Governor. yet he 0he
Doctor had not lost all hope.
One thing that initiates greatly againss
Governor Mckinney is his advanced age.
he being now in his 65th year. Not until
a few days past has his physical appear'
ance shown the ravages OF disease. The
rapid wasting of flesh is now clearly dis
cernable to those who watch at his bed
side. Governor Mckinney recently be-
came a communicate Of the Presbyterian
church, and has expressed himself as
perfectly resigned to death.
From the statements of his physicians.
the sensational reports said TO have had
origin in private messages sent from
Farmville, and published in a number OF
Virginia dailies. that Governor Mckinney
could not possibly survive more than
day or two longer, are entirely erroneous.
While he is an extremely Ill man, there
has been at no. time during his present
illness any immediate danger Of dissolu-

CASES IN JUDGE HUGHEs's COURT.
Case of 4. r. Jones Being Tried
Letter-Carricr Pleads Guilty.

The United States District Court was I'm
session yesterday. The grand jury re-
turned several indictments against per-
sons who have not yet been arrested.
The petit jury was called at II o'clock,
and the docket for the term was taken
up, Judge Hughes presiding.
The case of L. T. Jones, Jr., late as
sistant postmaster at Mattoax, was part
ly heard. The accused was in court ac-
companied by his wife. He was defended
by Mr. II. NJ. Smith, Jr., and Judge Flour
noy, while District-Attorney W. ii. White
and his assistant, Mr.. B. Rand. Wexford,
appeared for the prosecution. The charge'
it will be remembered, is that Jones IN
tercepted letters containing money. An
inspector visited the Mattoax post-once
to investigate some suspicious circum-
stances, and found a letter with money
hidden in a barrel used for refuse papers.
Mr.. Jones is very highly connected. inc
day was taken up with the examination
of witnesses for the prosecution and de-
fence. The case will probably be con-
cluded to-day.
Charles w. Jones. the Petersburg let
ter-carrier who was charged with inter
cepting several letters and embezzlng the
amounts contained in them, pleaded gull

good character he was sentenced to

A Young Man Alleged Not to Have
Made Full settlements.

Young Walden IS well connected and
has always borne a good character. HE
has moved in good society, and Is quite
popular. He had been employed by
Messrs Sheehan & Smith for some time,
and had done the collecting for the firm.

of money for which he failed to account

when seen last night, was not inclined TO
discuss the matter in detail. but said
when the collector was accused of wrong
doing he admitted it.
The father of young Walden said last
night that while his son might have done
wrong, he had not been guilty Of any
criminal intent. The amount involved,
he said. was small and his son. In spend
ing It, had intended TO make it good. He
said his son would return TO the city on
