Lewis is not the only person over
whom the clouds Of suspicion have |
been lowering, and the matter is
receiving further investigation and
il is not unlikely that other arrests
may follow. There is a class of
negroes infesting the town and who
loiter around the saloons and are
ready and willing to buy whisky
aud intoxicants, drinking a part
thereof as compensation, for those
who can not be served at the bar on
account of being under age, and the
sooner the town is rid Of this ele-
ment the better of will be the
younger generation of boys.
The only regret in the case Of
Lewis is that the penalty for CIV
ing or procuring intoxicants for
minors is not a long term in the
penitentiary.
1t is the intention Of the boar(
Of mayor and alderman to revise
municipal restrictions and empow
er the marshal with more authorit,
and these matters will be closel.
watched in the future.
Public sentiment and the court
will show no mercy to any scoun
: drel who will procure for or Civ
, to young boy beer, whisky or an
other intoxicant.

havoc with things, and wound up by

working order the day before.
About 1850 the engine started,
backed across the yards with the
tender foremost and left the track,
about thirty-fve feet above the

residence was in few feet of the

bile avenue. After leaving the
track the engine continued over
the yard about thirty feet, and
crashed into the corner of Perry'a

house was shattered, and the real

A QUESTION.

OeleCbeu-l
The publisher of a newspaper
has one thing to sell and one thing
to rent. He has the newspaper to
sell and the space in his columns to
rent. Can anyone inform us why
he should be expected to give away
either the one or the other? He
can if he so chooses, and he does,
as a matter of fact, furnish a great
deal of space rent free. But II
does not follow that he ought to be
expected to do so. 1t ought to be
recognized as a contribution, exact.
! ly as would be the giving away o.
sugar and coffee by a grocer. But
strange to say, it is not looked up
on in that light at all, yet every
body knows that the existence of
newspaper depends upon the ren
Of its space and the sale of the pa
per, as a merchants success de
pends on selling his goods instea'
of giving them away.

GOT s2so,OOO In GOLD.

The California Smelling COMPANY
was robbed of $685. 900 worth
of gold bullion, the thieves tunnel
ing from outside the building under
the steel vault. They secured nearly
l,2OO pounds of fine gold, worth $40
an ounce. The whole affair was
masterfully planned and executed.
The robbers loaded their loot in a
boat that was waiting aud disap-
peared in the fog that had arisen
over San francisco bay. In their
haste to get away they left two gold
bars worth nearly $4,000 living on
the bank at the waters edge. This
lei to the capture of man named
Winters, who at once confessed being
a member of the gang and showed
the spot where the gold had been
sunk for safe keeping. Divers were
at once put to work and the whole
amount was secured.

FOR 4 NORTHUMBERLAND WAN

EDITOR CITIZEN AS the time
approaches We hear rumors of a can
didate to supply the place Of our
late lamented representative in the
house of delegates, but there seems
to be silence on the part of Northum-
berland people.
When the present senator, repre-
senting the whole five counties of
the Neck, was chosen he and this
county gave way to a Westmoreland
man, and right well did the latter
represent us. We do not see that
Westmoreland has a1y better claims
for a new man than has Northum-
berland, though we do not mean to
draw comparisons. Our sister county
has good men within her bounds
and probably she will trot them out
later on, and maybe we will JON
with her in selecting one of them;
but In the meantime we would men
tion several of our good men that
would make able representatives.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

A resolution will be introduced in
the Virginia Constitutional Conyen
ton calling on heads of State depart
ments to give the number and names
ot relatives each head has employed.
Secretary Brent, of the Board of
Education, says: "In a large num-
Der, a very large number of counties
the school superintendent, though
worthy men, are comparatively uG-
educated and consequently incom-
petent."
1t is said that among the items
that will be disclosed as having been
purchased by one of the governors
for the Executive Mansion, out of
the Contingent Fund, will be a
canary bird and bull pnp.-Rich-
mond News.
We warn the members of the con-
ventioa that if they leave the State
office-ridden as it is, and therefore
taxed as it is, and leave any citizen
uncertain as to his standing as a
voter, its work will not be accepted
by the people as neutrality-suspicious.
burg Iade1-Appeal.
People all over the State are taking
an active interest in securing better
temperance legislation, and are
writing letters to their representa-
tives in the Constitutional Conven-
ton, urging them to adopt some of
the resolutions recently submitted to
the Convention. At the request of
the Social Safety League of Cul.
pepper, John S. Barbour, of that
county, introduced measure. the
gist of which is that the Constitu-
ton provide that hereafter LIQUOR
Incense be granted only upon petit
ton signed by a majority of regis
tered voters in the community in
which the license is sought. The
present law is that license is granted
unless there is petition against it
from the voters, and then the matter
is discretionary with the Judge.

III is no trivial offense for men TO enter

and then go out and vote against the

1t is something of which no high
minded and honorable man will be
gailty.-Rorrok Vfrginiaa. Pilot.
Yet it is thing which some poll
ticians in this section have not hest
tated to do in the past, when the
judges of election were at their bid
ding and influential district leaders
gave support and encouragement to
their movements. For some little
time we have heard rumors that the
minority here would bolt on next
Monday if things did not go TO their
liking. How true such reports NAV
prove we do not pretend to Judge.
One thing is certain, such prema-
ture announcements are acknowl-
edgments of defeat before the trial
begins. The fundamental principle
of Democracy is that the majority
should rule, and we truly hope that
no attempt will be made to thwart
the people m their decision on court
day.
