CRIME OF NEGRO FIENDs.-Eight
negroes are held for the grand jury in
Washington for criminally asssulting
Mrs. Dora Linkins, young and pretty
white woman, last Wednesday night.
and two others are wanted by the police
for the sane offense. Four of them
will have the additional charges of
highway robbery of her oscort, James
Giles. to answer for. Giles is freight
brakeman, and was on his way hons
last Wednesday when he met Mrs.
Linkins. who had been attending dog
circus. He was accompanying her to
her home, and in passing near James
creek canal, where there are no street
lights and the city blocks are vacant
commons, they were attacked by four
negroes, Robert Pendleton, Frank
Turner, James Gray and Lemuel Sims,
who caught Giles and dragged him to
even a more lonesome spot, struck MIN
with blackjack, and took IS, all the
money he had from his pockets. Hen.
~ Ware, Howard Barry, William Jen-
pings, Joe Mack, Edward Crawford and
George Write had, meantime, grappled
with Mrs. Linkins, knocked her down
when she tried to scream for help for
Giles, and dragged her into the high,
rank weeds of a neighboring lot. Ac-
cording to the testimony of Barry who
admits his own guilt, the ten negroes
sill shamefully treated the unfortunate
white woman. Crawford and White
have not been captured.

THURSDAY EVENING JULY 81. 1895

ACCORDING to the Presidents pres
ent intention, as announced at the war
Department, General Otis will be re-
tanned as the American commander ID
the Philippines. If that be SO, the
close of the war with the Philippine
Republic, it is feared. will be indefinite,
as General Otis has demonstrated to
the satisfaction OF every unprecedented
man that he is q second Pope, whose ia
nous headquarters were in the saddle,
Though all men OF common sense knew
that active military operations could
not be prosecuted successfully in Luzon
during the rainy season. he so relented
in his strict censorship of the press,
that he allowed dispatch to be sent to
this country to the effect that though
the Filipinos labored under the impress
sion that war could not be waged
against them in the rainy season, be
would show them that it would be, and
that to Americans all seasons are alike,
and that his soldiers were amphibious,
and could fight as we'll in rain as in
sunshine. he soon found out, how
ever, that he didn't know what he was
talking about, and suspended opera
tons, and is now outstanding his re-
sources for resuming hostilities next
fall. Intelligent Europeans at Manila,
familiar with the true condition OF al
fairs in the Philippines, say that unless
an army OF one hundred thousand reg
ular soldiers be sent there, the Fill.
pinos will be as unsubdued next sum-
mer as they are now. War at home is
8 costly sport but ten thousand miles
off its expense is enormous.

POLITICAL.

Senator Martin and Governor Tyler,
who are candidates for the United States
Senate. will take the stump, to reply to
attacks by their enemies.
In Norfolk yesterday John White
head, prominent politician and one OF
Senator Martins strongest adherents,
said that the senator authorized him to
make the statement from the stump or
for publication that the man who makes
the statement that Martin ever lob
bied for any bill before the Virginia
Legislature, or that he was the agent
of any corporation, is common liar.
He said that the senator stated that he
was before his election attorney for the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railway for five
counties, at an annual salary of $1,000,
and that he resigned this position upon
his election to the Senate; and has not
since represented any client.

Weller A REvoLUT1oNIsT.- discus
sion Of the army bill in the Spanish Senate
yesterday led to an exciting scene. General
Weyler arguing against any reduction Of the
strength Of the army, warned the government
that the present situation made s revolution
highly probable, since it had never been so
easy for the army and the people to make
common cause. He said lie had never
thought of heading rising, but it must be
confessed that revolutions sometimes cleared
the political atmosphere and accomplished
the work of regeneration. Senator Dato,
minister of the interior, replying. severely
censured General Weyler, declaring that
general who, with three hundred thousand
men. had failed to suppress the Cuben rebel
lion, had no right to make such threats, and
that any attempt at revolution, no matter by
whom, would be proceeded against with the
utmost rigor of the law. The Senators warm
~ applsuded Senior Dato's speech. The army

FINANCES or SUSSEX COUNTY
THEIR LOW CONDITION-THE COUNTY
s42,5OO IN DEBT.
Democrats Try to Lay the Blame on the
Republicans "Union Republican
Makes Reply,

sussex county is now in the hands
OF the Republicans, though previous to
the present body it had been in the
hands OF the Democrats, almost con-
tlnously for nearly forty years. The
Democratic papers are charging the
low financial condition on the Repub-
hcans because they are at the present
time in power, to which charge the
Union Republican of Georgetown, re-
plies:
"Will the editor of the Seatord NcaOs
give to the public any case of specific
malfeasance the fact of which it may
possess the facts? Our recollection is
that the Republican party has had con-
troll of the Levy Court of the county
teice an forty gears: that it has never
had control of the Legislature at the
same time to aid it's efforts at reform:
that it first came into control in 1889,
and in a very few weeks unearthed the
most rotten state of affairs ever known
"a wholesome system of forged orders
that had lest the taxables of this county
in period of twenty-five years over
S120, 900! Owing the fact that the
Democratic way of doing business was
such that neither stubs were kept to
the orders, nor the orders themselves
preserved, only $4,000 could be tracted
and they money recovered. This
amount was paid back into the County
Treasury by the present Governor,
Ebe Tunnel, then Clerk of the Peace.
Our recollection is that the Republi-
cans a second time came into control
in 1897, and found the same condition
of affairs that had existed for years-a
county whose finances were run for
party benefit, and whose credit there
fore was seriously impaired. The
Democratic party has left as heritage
a bonded debt of $42, 800, not one cent
of which did Republican adminstra-
tion create. 1t is also left the county
flooded with unpaid orders. The
Democratic Legislature has enacted
laws year after year for the benefit of
its camp followers. Indexing jobs
have been put through; new election
laws passed, which have raised the ex-
pense of holding elections from a few
hundred dollars to several thousands;
new offices have been created, with
new fees, which the people have to pay
through the Levy Court.
