Shocking Accident.

One af the most singular as well as
shocking accidents occurred in
Craigsville last Thursday. When the
east bound c. and o. train, due there
about 1l:50, was nearing the station, a
young woman attempted to get off and
was thrown with violence to the plat
form, cutting her head and face and
causing many bruises on her body.
Several pers )ns fastened to her assis-
lance, and among them was DIR. John
b. Tuttle, who found her in an I'm
conscious and dangerous condition
She was thereupOn taken to the wait
ing room at the depot, other doctors
were called, and every possible medical
aid was rendered, but to no avail, for
she died that night about l O'Clock.
The unfortunate young woman was a
total stranger in that neighborhood.
Upon investigation it was learned that
she was Miss Lista Irving, of Noun
tain Grove, Bath county, and was ON
her way to visit her uncle, A. W. Nc
Caltney, whose home is about three
miles from Churchville. The funeral and
interment were at Lebanon church.

Among other notes regarding the
Democratic primary that appeared in
last weeks issue Of the SPECTATOR
was this: Not being satisfied with the
result. Mr.. Brown has notified the
Chairman of the Democratic Commit
tee that he will contest the nomination
on tie ground that there were gross ir
Irregularities in the casting of ballots,
besides he can prove that Republicans
were voted in the primary. Hefurth-
er claims that if these charges are
proven satisfactorily, he will then have
the right to run on an Independent
ticket.
These facts were learned by a repor-
ter who interviewed Mr.. Brown, but
there seems to be some misunderstand-
ing as to the latter phrase. The manner
in which it is expressed is clearly mis-
leading, for it makes it appear that
Mr.. Brown intends to run for the Of
flee of sheriff as are independent candi-
date. He now tells us that such was
never his intention, but at the same
time he admits he said that if fraud
and irregularities were proven, there
would exist the right to run on an in
dependent ticket. though he would
not think of exercisingit. He will abide
the result of the contest before the
Democratic Committee.

One of the most singular romances
has terminated in che marriage of
Frank H. Smith and Miss Lizzie Cor
don, who were united in the holy
bond Sunday. Smith is an English
man by birth, and has been in this
country for many years, during which
time he has been a weary veteran of
the highways and byways until he
struck the city of Staunton several
months ago, when he was locked up in
the county Jail for being drunk and
having pistol on his person. 1t was
during his stay in that boarding
house that he met his bride, who was
also an inmate On the charge of living
high and fly life, and there he wooed
and won her. Their term of imprison-
ment expired about a week ago, and
they secured license at the court of
this city.

Had Planned 10 Break Jail.
Staunton, April 10, 1899.

| OtaunCOn, April ~, 1893.
Editor of the Spectator II see in
the public print that j. T. Todd and
some other prisoners in the county
Jail had planned to break jail Monday
night, but the officers got ON to the
racket and prevented their plans.
understand that the prisoners who
contemplated making their escape were
J. T. Todd, under sentence of three
years in the penitentiary; Joseph F.
Flick, under sentence of five years in
1.-THE penitentiary, and David H. Tay-
lOr, whose candidacy for the same
place is altogether lovely. Had plan
ned to break Jail Now, as citizen of
Augusta, l would like to know how
three felons could plan to break Jail if
they were securely locked up as the law
directs ? 1 have been informed that
Todd and Flick have had access to all
parts of our Jail and from the time of
their conviction have never occupied
what was due them-a felon's cell.
Inc law IS, or rather shOnld not be,
respecter of persons, and for that rea-
son Todd and Flick ought to have
been securely locked up from the day
they were imprisoned. l have been a
partisan supporter of Sheriff Watts
ever since the campaign opened. and
pen these lines free from prejudice.
But society, law and order demand
that felOns should not be treated in |
our Jail as guests of honor. In conclu-
sion. and in justice to the jail officials,
will state that these men have been |
locked up, but not until last Monday
night and then at the instance of
StauntOn's Chief of Police and one of :,
his force.
