DEATH OF MIR DINGLEY,

Hon. Nelson Dingley, of Lewiston
Me-, chairman of the ways and means
committee of the House OF Representa-
tives and for several years one OF the
most prominent republican figures il
national politics, died at 1880 o'clock
last night in mis- apartments in the Ham
iIton Hotel, Washington, as result o!
ali attack of pneumonia, superinGuce
by the grip. E[e had been i'll since De-
cember IS. His end Was painless and
peaceful, and his last hours were in
keeping with his quiet, earnest life
His wife and daughter and two sons
were at his bedside at the time of his
death. The end was not unlocked for,
although up TO yesterday morning ply
SLAMS apd relatives were hopeful. A.
that time, however, change for the
worse took place and he sank rapidly
and steadily until he died. He was un-
conscious and expired without pain.
After consultation by Senators Hale
aud Frye and Speaker Reed and Ser
geant alarms Russell, it was decided
that the funeral will take place on
Monday at noon in the chamber of the
House of Representatives. The re
mains will be taken to the home of Mr..
Dingley, at Lewiston, Me-, over the
Pennsy lvania Railroad.
Nelson Dingley was born at Durham,
Me-, February Is, 1892. He graduated
at Dartmouth College in 1856. After
his graduation he took up the study of
law and was afterward admitted to the
practice of his profession. He prac-
ticed law but a short time. He soon
became the proprietor and editor OF the
Lewiston, Me-, Journal. He became
an editor 10 1856 and maintained that
connection with the Journal until his
death.
Mr.. Dingley entered politics when he
was thirty years of age, having been
elected member Of the State house OF
representatives, where be served from
1862 until 1878, and in 1874 unsolicited
Governor, being then thirty-eight years
old. He was first elected to Congress
in 1881 to fill out the unexpired term
OF William P. Frye. Mr.. Dingley was
reelected to Congress as a representa-
tive. at-large from the State. He be-
gan his congressional career in the For
ty-seveDth Congress and served in that
body continuously from that time up to
the present. He had also been re.elect-
ed 10 the Fifty-sixth. During Mr..
Dingley's service in Congress he was
regarded as one of the leading men on
the republican side of the House. Mr.
Dingley was appointed chairman of the
committee on ways and means of the
Fifty-fourth and Fifty.ffth Congresses
by Speaker Reed. MI. Dingley was in
dustrious and man of remarkably re-
tentive memory. He seldom forgot
he read.

Made Him aIiener.

RICHLANn, S. D., Jan. 14.-Willian
Lapeer, o young farmer, who went te
Manila with one of the first assign
ments of troops, has returned here
with leprosy. He was, it is said, made
leper for revenge. This is the story
told While seeing the sights in Manila
be gave ofense to rich native, who,
aided by friends, succeeded in plying
him with drugged liquors. While un-
conscious he was carried to the native
quarter of the city and the blood from
a leper was injected into one of his
veins. When the young man realized
what had been done to him he nearly
died Of nervous prostration. He fell
into violent fever, from which he has
not recovered. As soon as he is able to
be removed he will be sent to New
York for examination by experts to
ascertain if he can be saved.

VIRGINIA NEWS.

Mr.. Thomas II. Peragory and Miss
Bessie T. Shelton were married at Po-
tomac BAPTIST Church, in King George
county, Wednesday night last.
The Richmond Dispatch says: "The
chances are largely in favor of the dis
bandment of the First Virginia regi-
ment at no distant date. In military
circles it is thought that the inspection
held at the armory Thursday night was
merely preliminary to the end.
Mrs. ]. A. Thompson, a well-known
widow, died yesterday at her residence
in Petersburg. She had been in feeble
health for a year, when several weeks
ago she was taken with pneumonia.
Mrs. Thompson's husband died several
months ago, aud within the past three
years she had lost by death three sons.
The burning of barns continues in
Rockbridge county. Within the past
ten days two more have been burned.
The last was the barn of Mr.. Joseph
Falls, near Ben Salem. All the con-
tents were destroyed with it and also
the coru-crib, which was near by and
contained about 500 bushels of corn
The property was partly insured in the
Rock bridge Mutual Insurance Company
for S400.
A strange case of illness resulted in
death in Richmond yesterday. Little
Mary Cassell, the three.year- old daugE-
ter of ]. q. CasselI, division superin.
tendent OF the Norfolk and Western
Railway, became unconscious over
three months ago, and remained in that
condition until her death occurred yes
terdsy morning. Nothing that could
be done to revive her was left undone,
but all without avail. 1t was remark
ably strange case.
The heavy sleet Thursday night
broke down and disarranged many OF

seet was also responsible for at least
one of several large fires that occurred
between two and four o'clock Friday
morning. a crossed electric wire eel

Eighteenth street, and the building was

RAILROAD TALK.

It is said in Baltimore that an i'm.
portant suggestion has been made in
connection with the pending Seaboard
Air Line deal which will be most sig
nifcant if it becomes a reality. It is
to the effect that close traffic relations
may be established between the Baiti'
more and Ohio and Seaboard Air Line,
by which the former company would
have direct connecting line perme-
atiDg the South, while the Seaboard
Air Line would have an outlet to the
| North, East and West.
Such an arrangement would, OF
course, involve the construction OF a
connecting link between Washington
and Quantico. If the Richmond and
fredericksburg Road would serve the
Seaboard Air Line as we'll as the A.
lantic Coast Line between Richmo; d
and Quautico, distance OF about 50
miles, and if the Richmond and Fred
ericksburg Road would not serve both
lines, then the line would have to ex
tend all the way from Washington to
Richmond, q distance of over lis
miles. 1t is thought, however, that on
arrangement can be made by which
both lines would be served by the
Richmond and Fredericksburg Road.
As is we'll known, the Baltimore aud
Ohio Company has long ago regretted
its sale of the old Virginia Midland
Railroad, in which Mr.. John W. Gar
rett owned controlling interest, end
which is now part of tie Southern
system. The Pennsylvania Company
owns the connecting link between
QuaDtico, the northern terminus of the
Richmond aud Fredericksburg line,
aud Washington. The Baltimore and
Ohio has long had charter for the con.
struction OF g. line through the Dis
trict of Columbia from Linden, a sta
ton on the Metropolitan branch, and
then across the Potomac into Virginia,
where the necessary charter rights for
q road southwark have also been Sc
cured.
Those rights have not, however, been
taken advantage Of, because the Balti
more and Ohio has not been financial
ly in position to build new lines, aud,
then, again, the company mas never been
able to secure legislation for certain
terminal facilities desired in Washing
ton

THE GOVERNOR ON PARDoNs.-Gov-
ernor Tyler has addressed communi.
cation to the papers advocating
the creation of board of pardons, to
relieve the governor of the responsible.
lity. He is constantly petitioned by
the friends of prisoners who bring to
bear all sorts of influences, and even
political pressure, to procure pardons
He cites one case, where, to avoid heavy
expense in sending to another State
for witnesses, the officers of the court
entered into an agreement with the
prisoners counsel that if be would not
resist prosecution they would give him
light sentence and secure his pardon
at the end of two years. The governor
says be feels bound to execute such
contracts, though he doubts the wis
dom of making them. The case Of
Faxon Anterior, sentenced from
Charlottesville for forgery, was one of
this character. The judge and other
officers of the court recommended his
pardon. The chamber of commerce of
Charlottesville passed resolutions con-
demning the governor for granting the
pardon. Fe is very anxious to shift
the responsibility of the pardoniug
power.
