Killed Senator Flanagan.

State Senator VIM. NJ. Flanagan
was shot and killed at Powhstsn
Court House last week by w. G. Pill
kinton. The shooting occurred in
the vestihule of the court house, and
death resulted in few minutes.
The tragedy was the elimination,
which many had feared, of feud of
long standing, which grew out of
politics. They were opposing candi-
dates for Commemorative Attorney
in the recent election, and there were
other political matters in which their
interests and positions were sntago-
nistic. The shooting according to
witnesses, was the outcome of an at
tack made on Pilkinton by Flanagan.
The former was standing in the ves-
thule of the court house, talking
with an official, when Flanagan APP
preached and without word, it is
claimed, began to strike him. The
two clinched, and Flanagan was
pressing Pilkinton back against the
court house wall when the latter
drew his pistol and shot his ssssil-
ant, the ball entering just below the
collar bone.
81 am shot and killed." exclaimed
Mr.. Flanagan, as he started to fall
Mr.. j. Haskins Hobson took hold
of the dying man, who soon breathed
his last.
While the tragedy is believed to
have been the elimination of polit-
ical feud, nobody seems to know why
the attack was made by Senator
Flanagan. He roundly denounced
Pilkinton in court few days ago,
but the matter ended there. The
fact that Pilkinton had said he would
oppose Flanagan for the Senate, and
again hold him up for public crit
cism, may have been the exasperatIng
circumstances. Not word was
spoken before the shooting.
Three persons witnessed the TRACE
dy. All agree that Flanagan, who
came out of the court house behind
Pilkinton, struck him three times be
fore he drew his pistol. it is not
certain that the fatal shot was fired
with intent. Pilkinton says he has
no recollection of having pulled the
trigger, having been so dazed by the
blows, and an officer who tried to
disarm Pilkinton, says he had hold
of the weapon, and that the force of
its owner in the scnffie caused its dis
charge. There was a crowd on the
court green. Mr.. Flansgan's home
is only one hundred yards away from
the court house, and the scene when
his wife arrived was heartreuding.
Her husband WAS sweltering in his
blood, and she could hardly be re-
strained from falling upon him. She
turned to Mr.. Pilkinton, and severely
upbraided him. A brother of the
dead official arrived at Pow hatan dur
lug the night, when there was anoth-
er affecting and dramatic scene. An
inquest was held and as the county
jail is insecure, and there was good
deal of excitement, Judge Miller had
the prisoner taken to Richmond to
remain until the trial in August.
Pilkinton is greatly wrought up. He
saws he would rather have been killed
than to have a mans blood on his
hands. He says he does not care as
much for Flanagan as for his widow
and children. He does not seem to I'M
derstand the immediate cause of the
attack. Flanagan was unarmed. His
pistol was in his desk and unloaded.

The papers are mentioning quite
often that Gov. Tyler may enter the
senatorial race against Mr.. Martin,
although some of the latter's sup
porters talk as if no one has right
to appear against him. The Cover
nor is good, honest official, but the
strength he may. develop will not
represent the strength of those who
favor the election of senators by the
people. 1t is bold for some of the
friends of senator Martin to openly
declare that "to all intents and pur-
poses be has been reelected for over
a year." but we are ready to admit it
is true. 1t is because this matter
has been determined by the politi-
clans, and not by the people, that we
want primary election plan, and
not because of any special hostility
to Mr.. Martin. We are inclined to
believe the latter will make a more
useful senator than the Governor.

in which this sentence occurs: at is
just and proper to invoke a just God
to remove a President that retains
H. Clay Evans as Pension Commits

are not righteous because they want
the people robbed still further for
the pensioners, the country will not

The more that is learned of the
food in the Brazos valley, Texas, the
greater seems the disaster. The riv-
er attained width of six miles, and
all crops deluged by it were destroy
ed. Human beings, houses and live
stock were carried off into the gulf.
Some knolls rising above the flood
were occupied by human beings, live
stock and poisonous serpents. 1t is
said that in two days 10 inches of
wAter fell from the clouds. The
railroad loses over 100 miles of track,
besides many bridges.

wear this afternoon, and mamma said
the only way was to have you tell
me-"
"Oh that Mrs. Van Huymen muir
INJURED, and she was just then brought
back to the material present. The two
old friends kissed each other and went
up stairs to tn library. But the topic
of dress had lost it's zest in the solu
ton of the question. Mrs. Van Huy-
men remembered the clock. 20 Mil
dred, l was feeling so blue when you
came. You know our handsome
clock?" 'Such a gem! Everyone en-
vies you'll"
"Well, it has history. You know it
was in Johns family. And years and
years ago it seemed to have an infu-
ence over the Van Huymens. Old
Roderick Van Huymen, Johns great
grandfather, brought it from Liver
pool in 1852. 1t had not been in the
house three weeks before it ran down.
That's nothing of course, but the same
day old ROderick Van Huymen fell
down two flights of stairs and broke
his neck" "But what of it? All
clocks get out of order!" "But listen!
No one thought anything of that, I'M
til six years later, when a colored
nurse became suddenly insane and
threw one Of the Van Huymen chill
dren out Of the second story window,
and that clock ran down again-just
at the very time, you see.''
'"Then I suppose they began to think
the clock had something to do Win
it,? Yes, some of them did. But the
Van Huymens all laughed at it. They
say that Wilhelmina Van Huymen, the
child's mother, left her husband be-
cause she would not have that clock
going in the same house with her. But
her husband, Jan Van Huymen, was as
obstinate as could be, and simply
wouldn't give in. The two had been
awfully in love with each other, and
everyone knew that they were as fond
of each other as ever, only neither
would yield to the other. Jan sent
everything to Wilhelmina; he gave her
horses and carriages, set her up in
fine house, and when he went to Eng
land on business bought her most ele-
CANT brocades, laces and bric-a-brac.
But he would never go to her house.
Then one day her horses became I'M
manageable in the park, and she was
thrown to the pavement and killed."
"And the clock?'' 1t ran down at
the very identical moment! Jan Van
Huymen never recovered from his
grief. He was really on the point of
giving in just as it happened. At first
he was going to smash the clock with
an ak, but the Van Huymen thrift
probably interfered. He had it taken
into the attic and there it had remain
ed for three generations when John
and I began to get the house ready.
We both laughed at the old supersti-
ton, and made up our minds to be
superior to it. We had it taken to the
best clockmaker in the city. Every
thing about it was perfect he said. It's
a genuine Liverpool clock, and the
best workmanship in the world. The
! clockmaker offered John splendid
price for it, after he had told the story.
