MAJORITY FOR LOW POSSIBLE.
HIS BROOKLYN FRIENDS WILL NOT BE CONTENT

THE CITY's VOTES.


Civil Service Commissioner Ludwig Nissen
who entertained Mr. Low at dinner at the Han
over Club on Tuesday evening and then ac-
companied the candidate on his tour through
the city and saw the crowds at the five meet
ings addressed by Mr. Low. said yesterday:

the kind that Mr.. Low had received, but since

Lynehed at Alexandria.

At Alexandria on last Thursday night
a negro man named Joseph Mccoy was
taken by a mob from jail in Alexandria
and hanged to lamp post, Mccoy had
succeeded in having criminal relations
with little girl. Annie Lacy, daugh-
ter of q laborer. The child was about
ten years old, and the victim had in
fected her with a noxious disease.
Mccoy at first fatty denied the charge,
but upon being locked up he made one
OF the most revolving confessions ever
listened to.
The mob had been resisted quite
vigorously by the sheriff and some
policemen, but over came them, and
broke down the door, McCoy. who had
been listening to the assault, had be-
come terribly frightened and had
climbed up on the door and was secret
ed near the ceiling The mob suppos
ed they we're at the wrong cell, and
were about to leave for another, when
one of McCoy's legs was discovered.
He was pulled down with a yell and
dragged to the pavement, and the mob
surged toward Cameron street with
him. The negro cried piteously for
mercy and resisted all the way. The
crowd turned down Cameron street to
Lee street and on the southeast corner
made rapid preparations to carry out
their purpose. A rope had been pro
cured from Mr. g. E. Prices awning, a
moose was soon around McCoy's neck
and in less time than 1t takes to tell it
he was dangling from the lamp post on
that corner. Bullet after bullet was
sent into his body, and when he had
been cut down one of the mob used an
axe on his head and blood and brains
were spattered on the pavement.
The affair has created sensation in
Alexandria, apd throughout the State
and the Governor is investigating it.

Unredeemed Pledges.

The Congressional Record has lately
bristled with two small tariff speeches
made by the Hon. Jake Yost, one on
the duty on iron and one on mangan.
ese. The farming interests have not
been mentioned by him and will not
be.
These speeches Mr.. Reed would not
allow our congressman to deliver, but
they we're printed in the Record and
will be distributed just as if they had
been delivered and no doubt the PEG
pie will be told that he made them
whilst in Congress. The republicans
have set down on the Hon. member.
In the Wilson bill iron ores were rcnnt
at 40 cents-they had been 70 cents
and during the last campaign our
worthy member tore his hair and
CRASHED his teeth over this democratic
outrage. But Mr.. Dingley and Mr..
Reed in their wisdom have seen cause
to differ with our member on this vital
question of outrage, and have left iron
ores just where the democrats placed
them, so our member is not happy.
Who can he damn now, and what will
he tell those poor fellows along the
base of the Blue Ridge who had mined
iron whilst the republican Mckinley
tariff was operative, and who ceased
to mine it when the Wilson bill des-
troyed the industry? If the Wilson
bill killed mining by putting ores at
40 cents, how can the Dingley bill
help it when the duty is left at 40
cents9 Mr.. Yost voted for the Ding
ley bill and thereby fastened irrevoca-
bly, on these poor miners 40 cent ores,
at which price he has declared the
men starved, He has treated them
exactly as the democrats and these
miners will remember how he denounc-
ed the democrats for SO doing, and
will hardly feel grateful for similar
favor. Mr.. Yost made some pledges
about this duty on ore, when will be
redeem them?

Colonel MOsby Hurt.

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, April g.
Colonel John s. Mosby, who came
here to witness the students peesenta
ton of the burlesque operetta. 1.-THE
Flirt." which was written by his son,
John s. Mosby, Jr., was seriously in
jured this evening in driving acct
dent, and is being cared for at the in.
Urinary of the University Of Virginia.
He was driving with Mrs. Emma Du-
Bose mile west of the University,
when the horse SHE'D at q passing
train. Colonel Mosby caught at the
reins and fell from the buggy. He re
ceived wound over the eye; whether
from the horses foot or otherwise, il
not known. The wound is both pain
full and dangerous.
The Colonel was at once carried to
the University infirmary and afterward
his eye which was found to have beer
burst, was taken out. The board Of
visitors rendered him place in the
infirmary, and expressed sympathy
for him in an appropriate resolution.
Since the accident the condition Of
Col. Mosby has been very critical, but
our latest advices are that he is little
better.

Our Platform.

Whether we should adopt the Chica-
go platform and stop there, or should
write a Virginia platform, is one OF
the gravesti question confronting our
next convention. Why in framing that
instrument may we not touch upon
State issues if we have any which need
attention, and then say I'VE demand
the free and unlimited coinage of both
silver and gold, at the present legal
ratio of Is to /. without waiting for
the aid or consent of any other nation,
and we demand that the present stand
ard silver dollar shall be q full legal
tender equally with gold for all debts.
public and private"
Then declare that tariff duties
shall be levied for the purposes OF
revenue only, and that such duties
shall be 80 adjusted throughout the
country as not to discriminate between
classes or sections, and that such tax
alton shall be limited to the necessi-
| ties of the government, honestly and
economically administered"
| Then declare for tax on incomes,
and the platform will contain all the
cardinal principles for which we as
citizens of the State and nation have
striven for or advocated.
The convention in conclusion and
with the utmost propriety. and in
doing so would voice the sentiment OF
the entire democratic party of Virgin
ia, might declare for the re election OF
the Hon. John w. Daniel to the Uni
ted States Senate. With this, it's work
will have been done speedily and well,
and with such a platform could go out
before the people confident of success.
Those national" democrats who
strayed for time from the fold would
have but little reason to oppose a plat
form thus tersely expressing the voice
of the people of Virginia, but II some
of them still found fault we could be
consoled by the knowledge that no
platform we could write would be
satisfactory to them. Those are Eph-
rains joined to their Idols.

The negro who assaulted Mrs. George
r. Henderson and robbed her of a gold
watch on Tuesday last at Roanoke,
was captured in the northeastern part
of the city last night by Policeman
Moss. As soon as Chief of Police Dyer
found Mrs. Henderson's watch, he was
satisfied from the description of the
man who sold it that Moses Dennis, a
notorious negro of that city, was her
assailant, and in short time Dennis S
capture was effected. The prisoner
was taken to Mrs. Henderson's resi-
dence, and was promptly identified by
that lady. The arrest was kept very
quiet, and early next morning Chief
Dyer and Officer Griffin took Dennis
in buggy to Blue Ridge Springs,
where they boarded freight train and
went on to Lynchburg with him.

District Attorney for the Western Dis
trict of Virginia. Mr.. Revercomb is
one of the most pleasant gentlemen OF
our acquaintance, well equipped for
the office. and one of the most genial,

will certainly go far toward success
provided the present administration

GRAIN TRADE AND CROPS.

The Cincinnati Price, Current Of last
Thursday Says
Not until the closing day of the week
now ended has there been weather con-
ditions seasonably favorable to vegeta
ton, in this region. and most OF the
agricultural area of the West has con-
tinued to maintain backward condi-
lions, which have had quite an influ
ence on the oats crop, delaying seed
ing operations to considerable ex-
tent, and bringing about disappoint-
ing results where the crop has been
sown.
There is likewise some delay in corn
planting operations, but this has little
Significance as yet, from the fact that
there remains ample time under favor
able conditions to insure good results
| for this crop.
The winter wheat crop is being dis
couragingly spoken of as emphatically
as heretofore, in the State of Illinois,
Missouri and Indiana, and in the Gen.
trail western portion of Ohio there is
more complaint than heretofore, but
as rule the conditions otherwise are
| we'll maintained. Taken as whole
the average condition of the wheat
crop can not be regarded as higher
than it was the first of the month,
while the chances with reference to re
suits are more in favor of lessened
outcome.
Inthe Northwest the conditions have
been aggravated with recent freezing,
and additional rains-but the situation
is looked upon by observers with much
of hopefulness as to remaining chances
| for the wheat crop, although the out
look is far from being as assuring as
could be desired. In the southern dis
tricts of the spring wheat area good
progress in seeding has been made, an
and increased acreage is indicated.
The wheat market has been erratic
the past week, under various influences
making a striking advance at Chica
60, followed by a decided decline, but
not equal to the previous gain by
considerable margin. Crop conditions
have been such as to serve spectators
interested in higher prices; the eastern
was conditions have affected sentiment
favorably for higher values; British
markets have displayed unusual spec
ulative slrength-so that combina-
ton of circumstances has aided the up
| ward tendency of wheat prices
Whether this is to extend much further
in the immediate future will largely

influential spectators.
| So far as the eastern war question Is
concerned, there is no apparent reason
for it's having much if any influence on
the demand for American grain in the
near future. What complications are
are liable to grow out of existing hos
tilities are matters for consideration
later on.
Corn and oats have responded mod
erateIy to the better shaping of the
wheat market.

Interest Rate Reduced.

A number of our outstanding city
bonds bearing six per cent. will be re-
deemed by issuing At per cent. bonds.
This saves the city considerable money
yearly as there will be 800, 900 of these
bonds. But it is all the same with the
tax payer. It leaves the difference of
interest to be spent otherwise, and the
taxes remain just as high as before.
The reduction of interest is good finan-
ceering, the bad financiering was in
issuing the bonds in the first place.
