Sensational Evidence in the Famous Vir-
 ginia Murder Case

Richmond, Va, May 3O.-In the trial to- day at Lawrenceville of Rev. J. E. R. Rid dick for the murder of pr. William Tenn pie there was some sensational testimony. The commonwealth brought out that after a conversation Riddick had with his wife he expressed doubt whether he was justi- fled in killing Temple.
 The defense put the aged father of the prisoner, a Methodist minister himself, on the stand and drew from him that inebrie- ty and lunacy were hereditary in the fami- ly, running back to witnesss grand fath- er He told of how the prisoner had at one time fallen from the faith, and testi- fled that on the advice of physicians one of his (witness) daughters had married to save herself from insanity. It was either that or the asylum.
 A letter was read from Riddick to his wife and his mother, in which the prisoner claimed that God had influenced him to kill pr. Temple.

showers Of Fishes.

Tropical countries where violent
storms sudden gusts of wind and whirl-
winds are most common. often experi-
ence showers of fishes. Fish varying
in weight from pound and a half to
three pounds have been known to fall
in India Sometimes they are living,
but more frequently they are dead and
putrefying. They are always of kinds
abundant in the sea or fresh waters
of the neighborhood; and there can be
but little doubt that they are carried
up in the air by violent winds, although
they sometimes fall at a considerable
distance from any water which could
supply them. There have been in
stances where falls Of fishes have taken
place in countries not tropical. A
shower of small, three-spined stickle-
backs fell near Merthyr-lydvll, in
Wales, sprinkling the ground and
housetops over an area of at least sew
eral square miles, some years ago.
They were alive when they iell, yet IL
caught up by whirlwind from any
of the brackish ponds near the sea in
which this species abounds. they must
have been conveyed through the air a
distance of almost thirty rules. At
Torrens, in the Isle of Null, another
similar instance occurred, Ia which
herrings were found strewed on hill
