TERRIBLE DISASTER.

On Saturday last a terrible
water spout struck West Virginia,
in the course of which horrible
loss of life and property occurred.
1t is supposed that about one
hundred persons were drowned,
hundreds and thousands of homes
were washed away and incalcula-
BILE damage done TO railroads,
farms and other property.
AS a consequence all west bound
G. & O. trains were delayed from
36 to 40 hours.
This same section was visited
by a second water-spout on Tues
day, and the disaster was still
augmented.

PAINFUL INJURY.

While Mr.. John G. Mastin was
assisting in taking an old reaping
machine to pieces, on Wednesday
morning, he was so unfortunate
as to have the second finger on
his left hand caught by heavy
piece of iron and the whole end
of the finger cut off, severing the
artery in the ball. Mr.. Mastin
lost considerable amount of
blood before DR.. Wallace could
reach him and attend to the in
jury. 1t is all o. X. now, how
ever.

News came to this city on Sun
day that Mr.. Henry S. Church,
for many years a citizen of this

then suicided.
Mr.. Church's mind had been
affected for some time by the use

SAD AND SUDDEN.

We were saddened and shocked,
on Saturday, to learn of the sud-

Keller, wife of Col. Green R.
Keller, of Carlisle, and mother of
DR.. H. M. Keller, of this city,
1t has been but few weeks
since Mrs. Keller was here on a
visist to her son and was seeming
ly in perfect health and a very
handsome woman of her age.
We tender to our friend, her
broken-hearted husband, the ten

passed through the same expert

youth.

COUNTRY SHOOTING.

A shooting affair occurred at
Bridgeport, this county, about 3
O'Clock on Saturday afternoon,
between Mr.. Edward Duncan and
Mr.. Richard Kirk, in which Kirk
was shot in the right wrist and
side. the latter ball cutting the
sack holding the lung, and COM
ing out at the back.
1t appears that there had been
bad feeling between the two men
since the Democratic primary for
county officers. They both came
TO town with their wives Saturday
morning. While here they met
in Matthews saloon, on st. Clair
street, where some words we're eX-
changed, after which Duncan was
knocked down by Kirk. They
were separated at that time, with
out further trouble
Kirk went to his home beyond
Bridgeport, but came back to the
Bridgeport store, and was there
when Duncan came along in his
buggy. So soon as Duncan caught
sight of Kirk he drew his pistol
and shot him as above stated.
Duncan was arrested and lodged
In Jail to await the result Of Kirk s
injuries.

chance, and let every office be
settled up at the expiration of four

Virginia ever does need body of
wise men, clear of selfish motives,
and whose actions should be for the
future good of the State and ber peo-
pie, it will be then. We are glad to
say we believe the old State has many
such sons yet left, among whom are
such as Senator Daniel, Judge S. G.
Whittle, Of this county, and Judges
Green and Akin, of Danville. Give
us enough of such men, who know
the laws and will frame the Consti-
tuition on just and honest principles.
Then let the rest of the body be com.
posed of good, .common-sense unpro-

there has never been a blot, and we

A CREDlTABLE LETTER.

Capt. S. S. Brown, a prominent
business man of Pittsburg, Pa, has
sent his check for $500 for the fund
being raised for the entertainment of
the Confederate veterans at the
coming reunion at Memphis, Tenn.
In doing so Captain Brown wrote a
letter which is creditable to his head
and heart. Captain Brown is not
resident of Memphis, or of the South.
de was not Confederate soldier.
but, on the contrary, fought in the
Union Army during the Civil War.
In his letter Captain Brown confesses
such high respect for the deeds and
motives of the Southern soldiers that
he regards their reunion as an iu-
spring event, and he Graves the privi-
lege of contributing to the fund s'to
keep the pot boiling at the campfire,
while the old boys spin their yarns
and fight over the old battles of long
ago"
Captain Brown concludes; 81 can
only say God bless the old veterans:
If they were misguided, they were an
honest, honorable foe and should
have place in the heart of every
true American" This is, indeed, a
manly letter, which needed not the
assurance of the Memphis Scimitar
that Captain Brown was "brave
and intrepid soldier. ."-Baltimore

But every week L take my pen
And write big, long letter.
And mamma says some day he'll come,

And she will keep him 10 the house
Until we get acquainted.
Now, ain't that funny, DONE you think;

To think great big girl like me
Don't really know her father
l won't know, hardly. how to act.
OF course he'll have TO Miss me;
But, goVdn ess gracious. it WON'T do
To let s strange man kiss me.
Aud when he first comes in the house
l won't know how to greet him,

And say Pm pleased to meet him.

A GOOD SUGGESTION.
(Riehmond Dispateh)

The Orange Observer asks, "Why
not place on the walls of the county
courthouse the portraits Of all the
great men of Orange?" The collec-
tion, the Observer says truly would
be galaxy of giants, and wants to
know, "Why not Orange" since other
counties are thus adorning their
court-houses?
Whereupon, the fredericksburg
Free Lance remarks that the Judge
of the circuit in which Orange is
embraced might take the cue from
Judge Wright, of the Ninth Circuit,
who, beginning in Lancaster, has
turned the court-rooms throughout
his district into interesting and per-
petual biographical and portrait
galleries.
The Flee Lance's suggestion is a
good one. We would like to see the
judge of every circuit in Virginia
follow the example of Judge Wright
In this matter.

1T WAS THE CAT.
(Bdltimore Stn.)

Mr.. J. f. Snow, of Wicomico
Church, Va, tells the following:
''In the summer of 1873, when a
boy, | lived in Baltimore on the west
side of Gilmore street, between Lex
ington and Saratoga streets. Just
opposite lived Rev. Samuel Kepler,
a Methodist minister, and his wife.
One night during the summer was
suddenly awakened by great COM
motion in the street, and upon going
to the window | heard the voice of
Mr.. Kepler calling police! Police!'
"Justss below on the same street
lived Mr.. Whitehurst, who poked
his head out of the window and in
quired of Mr.. Kepler the cause of
his alarm. Mr.. Kepler replied that
there was burglar in his house,
whereupon Mr.. Whitehurst sprung
his rattle. Several policemen re-
sponded.

SENATOR MARTIN.

Hon. Thomas S. Martin is again
spoken of as Presidential possibility,
and the prediction is made by one of
his admirers "that if he makes no
mistakes politically or otherwise,
within the next few years, his eleva-
ton to something of prominence in a
political way now seems to be certain. !"
The prudence which the Junior Sen
ator has shown in the past by keep
ing quiet aud guarding his speech
should allay the fears of his friends
that be will do anything to mar his
chances of promotion.-Peainsu
Enterprise.
Our contemporary is right. Sena-
tor Martin is much too shrewd a pol
itician to do or say anything that
will prevent his promotion in the
party. He has no chance for the
Presidential nomination, but he will
be the next chairman of his party.
and he will come near landing De-
mocracy on top four years from now

GOOD ROADS IN THE TWENTIETH
CENTURY,
(RichmOnd 7imes.)

The new century opens auspicious-
ly for the cause of good roads in the
State of New York. We called at
tention the other day to the action of
the Supervisors of Oneida county in
urging an appropriation of $5OO,O00
this year by the State, to be met with
similar appropriation by the
counties, making $l,000,00O in all,
for the improvement of roads.-N
y. Tribune.
1t is a noteworthy fact that in the
respect of making wagon roads, we
are far behind the progress of the
age. Indeed, In some of the States
our roads are worse than they were
fifty years ago. This is due in part
to the building of railroads, but
there is no sufficient excuse for the
wretched highways of the country,
and we cannot claim to be thorough
ly progressive people until we have
improved them. The road to pros
perity is not knee deep in mud.
We are gratified to learn that there
is an awakening in some of the
counties of Virginia, and that the
people are spending money freely in
making better roads. But this money
will be largely wasted unless the
work be done under the supervision
of competent engineer who knows
what he is about. Piddling never
pays. Road-building should be done
in a scientific manner and the work,
as far as it goes, should be done
thoroughly. Better build one mile
of good road that will last than patch
up five miles in such way as that
the work must all be done over next
gear.
We have been talking great deal
of late about publicity and have been
urging that supervisors obey the
law, and publish their reports. We
think that supervisors should also
be required TO show how the road
money which comes into their hands
is expended, and Taxpayers in the
several counties should see to it that
such exhibits are made from time TO
time.

Smallpox in Virginia.

DIR. Paulus A. Irving, secretary of
the State Board of Health, says
smallpox is epidemic in many coun q.
ties in the State. AS usual thing,
the cases are of II mild type, and the
death rate has been remarkably low.
From reports made to the State
Board of Health, the disease is prev
alent in the following counties: AL
bermarle, Alleghaany, Augusta, Bote-
tourt, Buckingham, Campbell, Ches-
terfield, Halifax, Louisa, Nelson,
Patrick, Pittsylvania, Prince Will
liam, Russell, Norfolk and Rock
ingham.
Counties and cities, where small
pox prevails, cannot now send pris-
oners to the Virginia Penitentiary.
The doors of that usually hospitable
institution are closed upon them, and
will so remain till the danger is over.
But the prisoners will lose "no time. y
The Governor will commute their
sentences to even up matters with
them.
Two hundred and sixty-seyen
cases Of smallpox are reported in
Kansas.

The ELECTIONS.

We have heard a great deal of
talk about dishonest elections in Vir-
ginia and throughout, the South
during late years, and while we are
not prepared to say the insinuations
are gioundless, we do not believe
that our State is any worse off than
many others in this respect.-Ered-
ericksbasry Free Lance.
Virginia is less corruptly governed
than New York State, or Illinois, or
Michigan, or Pennsylvania. Corrupt
practices there undoubtedly are, but
they are not, in the main, of a venal
nature, and they have been and are
being greatly exaggerated for pur-
poses that are already pretty plain,
and that will be palmer before the
year is out.--NorfoM Virginian- Pilot.

officers called to Mr.. Kepler to come
down and open the front door so that
he might search the house. BY this
time heads appeared at every window
for block on both sides of the
street. Mr.. Kepler's house, in the
meantime, had been surrounded by
officers AID everybody wanted to see
the burglar caught, but all of the
pleading and persuading from the
officer could not induce Mr.. Kepler
to come down and open the door;
finally the officer gave the door two
or three hard kicks, when it sudden
ly opened and out jumped a big
black cat.
"The house was carefully searched,
but as nothing had been molested
and there was no further sign of a
burglar verybody supposed that it
must have been the cat that had
frightened Rev. Mr.. Kepler and his
good wife"

VIRGINIA GOvERNORsHIp.
{ (Wasssngton Times. ]

The weight of opinion IN the Vir-

the next governor of the Dominion
will be Claude A. Swanson, Represen-
tative In Congress from the Fifth
district Of Virginia.
Mr.. Swanson's strength is scattered
it is said, throughout northern Vir-
ginia but is overwhelming in the
Fourth and Fifth districts.
Mr.. Montague's strength is admit
ted to be most marked in the First,
or Fredericksburg district. In the
remaining districts of the State
neither candidate has any particular
advantage.
The Virginia delegation in Con-
gress espouses the cause of Mr.. Swan
son, with the exceptions of Repre-

Better Than Guns.

Messrs. Mayo Binford and Charles
Williams, two Richmond gentlemen,
had disagreement aud came to
blows, but were separated before any
harm was done. Neither was salts
fed with the outcome, so by agree
ment they met that night with

about two minutes. Mr.. Williams
is said to have cotton the better of it,
but Mr.. Binford did not give up,
and he was game to the end. The
seconds separated the gentlemen. 1t
