eoRDY INDICTED.


James NJ. Gordy was arraigned In the
Sussex County Court at Georgetown OF
Wednesday for the murder Of his wife, for
merly Mrs. Mary Lewis, and true bill oi
murder was found against him.
Gordy was brought into the court room
In charge of Sheriff Johnson and three de
puties, and despite their continued jostling
itrequired all thestrength they possessed to
push their way through the densely crowd
ed court room.to the prisoners'pen. Not aseat
in the room was vacant when Chief Justice
Lore in reply to the request of Attorney
General White commanded the Sheriff
to fetch up the prisoner. An audible mur-
muir swept over room when this order was
given from the bench, and for ten minutes,
in which It took to bring Gordy from his
cell, the court room was wrapt in sup
pressed excitement.
The CHASTITY looking prisoner bore little
resemblance to the man that was arrested
for the murder at Whitesville on the satur-
day following the comm ission of the crime.
The fashily dressed, dapper-looking fel-
low. who was captured by Detectives
Lynch and Witsill. had changed to listless
almost lifeless, individual, with shaggy
beard, bushy hair and whose unkempt ap-
pearance would have led stranger to be-
lieve that he had just emerged from his
hermitage in the woods.
Gordy did not open his eyes the whole
time be was being arraigned. His face bore
terrified expression and as he held his
right hand aloft while the Clerk was read.
ing the voluminous indictment which
charged him with murder, his hand shook
as though he had been seized with conges-
tive chill. The eyes of the spectators, among
whom were many women, were riveted
upon the prisoner during the whole Of the
ordeal. Having finished the indictment
Clerk Houston, looking straight at the
man in the pen, exclaimed:
What say you James n. Gordy, are you
guilty, or not guilty?"
The prisoner remained as if mute for an
instant, and then in obedience to the coach
ing of Attorney Cullen, he replied in a
faint voice, so weak that the Attorney Gen.
eral could not hear it:
"Not guilty."
Monday at u o'clock is the time set for
the trial to begin. Messrs Richards and
Cullen are council fer the defence: many
surmises are expressed as to what will be
the ground of defence, the general belief
being that the plea of insanity will be of
fered. There will be full bench, Chief
Justice Lore presiding with Associate
Judges Cullen. Marvel and Grubb. The
greatest excitement prevails in George
town, and the trial will be attended with
great interest, large number of witness
es have been summoned and all roads
lead to the Sussex county seat.

CANDID COUNSEL.
On a Subject of Vital Interest
Again Proves the Efficacy Of
Dr.WHEELER'S NERVE VITALIZER

There is only one positive cure for the
nerves. There are many nerve stimulants
composed of alcohol or morphine, that make
you feel better and you think you are being
cured, but you are not; you are being poi
soned. DIR. Wheeler's Nerve Vitalizer sus-
tains, nourishes and strengthens the nerves.
Strong nerves drive disease out OF the body.
People are led to believe they need blood
medicine; liver regulators, stomach tonics,
kidney cures and heart correctors. They
don't. They need something to invigorate
their nervous system. DIR. Wheeler's Nerve
yi.alizer can always be relied upon. Mrs.
Elizabeth Reed, N. Harrison Street, Sagi-
nav, Mich, tells in the following words what
II did for her;
ssMy trouble was nervous chills, cffectine
only the left side Of my body; also sleeplcss-
ness and a catarrhal trouble causing severe
pain. / was considerably worried and dis
couraged. Knowing Mr.. Parkinson, the
Druggist, sought his advice. After ex
planning my trouble he very promptly
advised DIR. Wheeler's Nerve vitalirer, pro
badly from his personal knowledge OF the
medicine. II certainly was just suited to my
trouble and soon cured me. have bees

the immense audience gathered at the

greeted with heartiest applause. Mr.
Macy's powers of impersonaton are

Charitable Association Will En-

Another meeting of the executive board
of the Charitable Association will be held
at the city exchange tomorrow afternoon
at o'clock for the purpose of electing a
relief agent.
At the last meeting the effort to elect
this officer failed after several ballots had
been cast, on account of tie. The board
divided and there it stood, each side con-
tending for its applicant until it was de-
cided the best thing to do was to adjourn
and trust in a different complexion of the
board at the next meeting.
There are several candidates, all of
whom feel confident of standing some
chance of election. 1t is possible, how
ever, that the board will be as before I'M

and Mr.. II. p Smart, change the situa-
ton. Those interested in the association
are hopeful that there will be no repeti-

of charity will be commenced. Many have

are willing to subscribe to it. but are held
In abeyance by the executive board. who
while they have not progressed very rap
