a LEADER AT THE BAR.
Captain Mckinney soon became one OF
the leaders at the bar not only in Prince
Edward. but I'm Solthslde Virginia. and
his services were eagerly sought by one
or the other OF the parties TO a Contro-
versy wherein the jury had TO be infiu-
cnced and persuaded. As the Common
wealth OF Virginia became politically re-
habilitated and issues OF vast moment had
t. be determined by the people. his SER
wees were demanded by the Democratic
party as exponent OF its principles and
from one end Of the State to the other,
his voice was heard arousing the people
to a proper consideration OF the cxigen-
cies which were upon them And where
ever he went. the Democratic BAN
ner was unfurled and defended. and
Virginians knew that one who loved and
honored his mother State was from his
heart speaking in her defence He was
more than once candidate Tor Con-
gress. and I'm 1881 he was the nominee or
his party for the Office Of Attorney-Gene-
raj, and made one Of the most memora-
bl. and aggressive canvasses in the his
10 y OF politics In Virginia. In the days
Of Reconstruction he was the scourge OF
the carpet-baggers and scallawags, and
In his canvass for Congress against
StoVall he literally lashed those gentry
with whip of scorpions.
The people Of Prince Edward, at the
first election after the war, made him
the Commemorative Attorney, which
office he held till by negro votes the
choice Of the people was prevented, ana
whenever since that time the office was
filled by appointment he was the ap-
pointee. He was delegate in 1884 TO Chi
cago and I'm 1858 TO st. Louis. As de-
batter on the stump. he had few equals in
the Commonwealth.
In 1885 Governor Mckinney married
second time, his second wife being Miss
Annie Lyle the daughter Of distin-
guished physician Of Farmville She with
one child survives him. His only child
by his first wife, - Mckinney, OF
the United States Geographical Survey
Corps. also survives him.
Governor Mckinney had served the
cause OF education as a member Of the
Board of Visitors Of the Virginia Military
Institute, the Blacksburg School. and for
years as a trustee OF Hampden-Sidney.
when occasion called for it he always
urged the people to support and guard
the common public schools of Virginia.

then his home was darkened by her early
death. Possessed of a large estate IN
herited from his father, and acquired by
marriage. he did not seek preiermeht,
either upon the political arena or IN the
active practice of his profession. but IN
tbe retirement OF his home and IN the
reading. he sought enjoyment. Al the

CARTER IS SET FREE,
He is Found Not Guilty Of the
Murder Of {. F. Moore,
THE VERDICT IS CHEERED,
Great Demonstration Of Approval When
The Result Is Announced.
CONCLUSION REACHED QUICKLY.
The Jury out Less Than Two Hours,
and Only Two Ballots Taken-EIo-

tory Of the Case.

James Penrose Carter IS 4 free man.
After having been placed on trial for his
life three times on the charge of murder
ing Charles Fox Moore. and after having
spent five months In prison. he was ad-
judged not guilty late yesterday after
noon, and returned last night to his home
in Henrco.
The verdict was not a surprise. It had
been predicted in the Dispatch, and was
expected by those who had followed the
trial closely. The jury had the case only
about an hour and three quarters, and
that the verdict was a popular one was
attested by the demonstration which fol-
lowed its announcement IN the courtroom.
The room was crowded with spectators,
and these. when they heard the words
mot guilty" gave vent TO a mighty cheer,
and. Ieaping over the bar. crowded around
the prisoner, showerng him with con-
gratulations. regardless OF the orders OF
the Sheriff for silence.
Carter was greatly overcome by his
good fortune. but ne bore up wonderfully
and received the congratulations Of his
friends with equanimity. lie hurried frcm
the courtroom, however, as soon as he
could, and, joining his wife and daush-
ter. who were awaiting him in the wit
ness-room broke down completely and
wept copiously.
The trial consumed exactly ten days
and more than ninety witnesses We're
examined. All Of yesterday was deyotef
to the argument. and right eloquent
did the counsel on either side plead with
the jury for verdict I'm their favor.
The closest attention was paid by The
twelve jurors. and after the case had been
submitted both sides expressed them
selves as confident of victory.
Instructions of the Court.
The court convened et o'clock, AMI
shortly thereafter the Judge read To the
jury the instructions, which follow:
The Court instructs the jury as follows:

A PULPIT RACE
Noted London Minister
Has a Sharp Stick.
He Strikes at Royal PersOnages-
An Experience.

LONDON, April 25.-The three humid
redth birthday anniversary Of Oliver
Cromwell has furnished the occasion
for biographies, appreciative articles,
portraits in all the papers and celebra-
tons in various parts of the country in
homer of the Lord Protector of the
British commonwealth
DR. Joseph Parker, minister of the
City Temple, this city, took the subject
as the theme for his sermon this after
noon and delivered an extraordinary
Grafton to a large congregation. In the
course of his remarks he attacked the
Prince of Wales as "a certain card
playing Prince" After eulogizing
Cromwell, DIR. Parker said:
When the Prince fails, then let the
country mourn. We look to Princes for
noble deeds and a high example. When
| see my Prince and my Premier on a
racecourse 1 don't like it,
These remarks were cheered by the
audience, and Dr. Parker proceeded to
IL axe rdDlu dCJdck on the sultan VI
Turkey, during which he said: EN-
peror William may call him his friend,
but in the name of God, the Father,
the Son and the Holy Ghost, l say
God damn the Sultan
The preacher concluded with pas
denunciation of the church for
accepting Protestant money for per
forming popish tricks. Then, drawing
from his Bible the undertaker's bill for
his wife's interment, he scathlngly
read the word on the top of the bill
.unconsecrated."
'sShamei" shouted Dr. Parker, and
the congregation loudly re-echoed the
word. Continuing, the preacher said:
when I read the word it meant vitriol
into red, gaping wound. 1t is
a knavish trick, popislI device. De
testable blasphemy! 1t made me still
more faithful to nonconformity, which
made England possible to live in.

CHANGES IN SHIPS.
Cruisers Raleigh and Cincinnati TO
Have Material Alterations.

Cruisers Raleigh and Cincinnati TO
Have Material Alterations.
Two warships built by the Govern
ment at the New York and Norfolk
Navy Yards, says the Army and Navy
journal, have proven to be failures for
craft of their class, and are to be alter
ed and modified at a large expenditure
of money. These ships are the cruis-
ers Raleigh and Cincinnati, the former
! built at Norfolk and the latter at New
York, some years ago Each has been
actively employed during the war
period and now that their services may
be dispensed with it is proposed to
place them out of commission and be-
gin the work of reducing their engine
power and increasing their steaming
radius by charging their coal supply.
AS originally designed these ships were
intended to develop the horse power of
ordinary battleships and each expects
ed to have not less than 10000 horse
power, although it is doubtful if either
has ever obtained them. Their ma
chinery was so powerful that they
could scarcely carry sufficient coal TO
reduce some of this unnecessary power
and to increase their coal capacities it
is proposed to bring their horse power
to $500 by the substitution of water
tube boilers for the Scotch boilers and
to make other changes in the interest
of great economy for these vessels. To
complete this work will require the at
tention of the navy yards for at least
two years, but when they are again
commissioned they will present far
more serviceable ships than they are
today. 1t has been definitely deter
mined to have the changes in the Ra-
leigh made at the Portsmouth Navy
Yard and those of the Cincinnati at
the New York Yard. Work on the lat
ter ship has already begun and that on
the former will be ordered soon after
the ceremonies at New York on her
arrival early next week.
