After the Election.

But It Will not be Concluded Until
After the Election.
The action again Rev. J. l.. Burns,
keeper Of the Capitol, for $40 damages
for poisoning a dog, the property Of Mr.
Perrin Busbee, was heard last night
before Justice Nichols. Rather it was
partially heard, for the case could not be
completed, owing 10 the absence Of i'm
poFtant witnesses for the prosecution.
Eight witnesses were examined and the
hearing was then adjourned till after the
election, and set for Monday, November
18th. These witnesses were Perrin
Bnsbee, Wheeler Baldwin fcol.), Dave
Iiill (cOl.), VIM. Frost, i. Kenster, Tobc
Marshall, Marcus Croker II. A. Breniq
aud G. Il. Creighton.
BY these three things were proved:
/. Dogs died in and around the Capito
square during the month Of July.
2 The cause Of the deth in every in
stance was poison, the symptoms al
ways being the same.
3. Threats were made by Mr.. Burns
that he would kill certain dogs ii they
were not kept out Of the square.
1t was admitted that poison for killing
dogs was bought by the night watchmar
at the capitol. But this, with the bottle
untouched, was produced and left witt
the court.
To make out the case it is still ne
cessary to prove who spread the poison
about and by whose direction it was
done. The prosecution say they vii
have no trouble in this.
The defense seem equally as confident
of the innocence of their client.

Makes People Well.

The one true specific for diseases arising
from debilitated nervous system is Paine's
celery compound, so generally prescribed
by physicians 1t is probably the most re-
markable remedy that the scientific research
of this country has produced. Prof. Edward
T. Phelps, NJ D.. L. l.. D., of Dartmouth
college first prescribed what is now known
the world over as raine's celery compound,
a positive cure for dyspepsia, biliousness,
liver complaint, neuralgia. rheumatism, all
nervous diseases and kidney troubles
Paine's celery compound has succeeded
again and again where everything else has
failed.

due in great part to long confinement

with his stay in Lynchburg, while he
was holding Federal court there. He
sent four men-nnail robbers and coun-
terfeiters-to the penitentiary. Their

Death OF Al Very old Citizen

probably the oldest citizen of tho
county, died at the home of his
nephew, Mr. George Croxton, in

urday after lingering illness.
Mr. CroXton was % years of age
and was never mar ricd. He lived

lowed teaching for livelihood.
He was prominent as teacher
probably as far back as seventy
five years ago. Some of the old
est citizens of the county and
many who have long since passed
over the River of Death after
having lived almost the three
score years and ten allotted to
man, were pupils of Allen CroX-
ton in their boyhood days. 1t
was only eight or ten years ago
that he gave mp teaching and set
tied down on his farm to live the
remainder of his days with his
ncphew's family. Mr. g., was an
exemplary citizen and christian
man as far back rs the memory Of
his oldest ncQuaintanccs goes. He
was always splendid teacher
and up to the present year the
most dIficu't mathematical prob
lem we nre told, was rs simple to
hun as a simple sum in addition.
He was member of the Metho-
dist church and had been for
more than half a century. His
remains were Inferred at New
Hope last Sunday. Peace to his
ashes.
