Judge Irvine Before jury Captain NC
Kinney. as he was so faWiliarly known
bv his old friends and associates, was
power.
He has been throughout his re an nohoF
to his State. and in as death the ola Ooiii-
monwealth has been called upon 10 give
up son Of whom she may WEI be proud
and he has left a heritage for his emil
dren which. throughout their iife slouil

Judge WiIIinm III. Mann.
In private life Governor Mckinney was
one Of the most gentle and IovaDie OF
men. never saying anything calculated 10
wound or hurt the feelings OF the most
sensitive, but in a damage suit his Whole
nature seemed to change, ana the uhlor-
tunate corporation against which MS SUIT
was brought suffered a terrible arralgh-
ment and scathing denunciation HIS
manner was magnetic and attractive, ana
he generally gained and held the SYM
pathy Of the jury. which was reflected in
the verdict.
After an acquaintance of many years
and under the most varied circumstances,
| want TO record that | never heard Gov
ernor Mckinney give utterance to an i'm
pure word or an ignoble thought. Wha'
he said could always be repeated IN the
presence of the most refined ladies'.
Time will not permit an examination or
his acts as Governor Of Virginia, but we
of the Southside are proud Of his record,
which he made as the Chief Executive OF
our beloved state. He showed himself
capable Of investigating and understand
ing the details of the business affairs
of the Commonwealth, and of making
recommendations looking TO her substan-
tial prosperity, and in this regard. as IN
others his administration VIII compare
most favorably with that Of any OF his
illustrious predecessors.
The State debt was settled while he was
Governor, and his last message, full OF
facts, i'm ormation. and recommendations,
will always be a valuable reference paper
to those who succeed him. Recently he
consecrated his life TO his Maker and
humbly trust that his last years in this
service were his best, brightest, and mos
fruitful. W. H. MANN.

HIS HOME LIFE.
A Charming Reconteur-Church Com
nection.


Governor McKinney's home-life was
beautiful. He was a devoted husband
and father and a warm-hearted, hospita-
BILE host. lie was also a bright and en-
tertaning recOnteur. and his memory
was stocked with anecdotes of prominent
men of his section Of the State. In his
official relations with those Immediately
about him he was one Of the most con-
siderate Of men. lie was cast in an
eminently practical mould, and he prac-
ticed the most rigid economy in admin
istering the affairs of the State. This
he held to be an imperative duty. When
he gave his confidence he gave ii fully
and unreservedly, and when he sought
advice he wanted ii given frankly no
matter how disagreeable it might be 20
him, or how much at variance with his
own views No man ever raised him
self IN Governor McKinney's opinion by
agreeing with him because he was Gov
ernor of Virginia. Among other things
he warmly advocated was the bonding
OF all state officers subject TO bond by
trust companies He argued that this
would not only insure regular eXamina-
lion of the accounts Of such officers
and save a great deal Of money to the
state. but would save wea kmen from
themselves.
During his gubernatoral term Gov
ernor Mckinney attended regularly the
Second Presbyterian OR. Hoge's)
church. he having been reared in the
PRESBYTERIAN faith. He was firm be-
lever. and not long since, became
cornnunicant of the Presbyterian
church at Farmvlle.
He was a strikingly handsome man.
and would have attracted attention in
any company. Upon his retirement from
the executive chair he returned to his
home in Farmvllle and resumed the
practice of law.
The last time he was in Richmond was

Mr.. sitterdIng's Experience.

Mr.. Fritz Sltterdng has hal an expert
ence with the land-grabbers.
On May Z, 1898 he bought a piece Of pro-
perty. for which he paid SLIGO. The gem
tleman from whom he bought il does not
live in Richmond. RE assured Mr.. Sit
terding that the taxes had been paid, and
so the deed was recorded.
Some days ago Mr.. Sitterdlngs atten-
ton was called TO the fact that a deed
for tnis property had been given 10 Mr..
Fred. Robins, Of Richmond, by the Hust-
ings Court. lie learned that the pro-
perty had been sold 20 Mr.. Robins for 50.
Of delinquent State taxes due prior IA
1895 the city taxes having all been paid.
No notice whatever had been given Mr.
Sitterding, and having paid all his taxes
for 1888. he was unaware that any amount
was delinquent. 1t cost him $sl.75 10 get
his property back, as neither he nor Mr..
Robins were disposed 10 contest the mat

RUSH AT THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The Stockholders Find Them i'm Bet
ter Condition Than Ever Before.

At the annual meeting of the stockhold-
ers Of the Richmond Locomotive and
Machine Orks yesterday, the condition
of the company was shown TO be better
than at any time in its history.
During the past year the works have
filed or booked orders for locomotives
for nearly all the leading roads of the
country, and for several foreign railways.
1t is now not a question OF getting or
ders. but of filling them. Two prominent
western railroads wired yesterday TO
know if the works could fill orders for
locomotives.
In addition to the order for twenty loco
motives for the Swedish Government and
eight for the Wabash railroad, booked last
week, the works received tuesday an
order from the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas railway for ten mogul locomotives,
making a total of thirty-eight for one
week.
