MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST IS, 1902

The election for congressman Tor
this district is less than three months OIL,
vet one seldom hears this subject men,
toned. Hon. J. F. Rixey, who has
we'll and faithfully represented the dis
trict for the past six years, having no
opposition in the democratic party, has
been declared its nominee by the district
committee and will of course be reflect
ed as he should be, by an increased major
ity. The republicans are at sea as to
what action they will take in respect to
a congressional nomination when their
convention meets in this city on the
25th of next month. But few want the
empty honor of nomination, when de-
feat is certain, and when the nominee IL
expected to "put up" the money to
detray the expense ofthe campaign- ora
larre share of it at least The report
that Mr.. Dupont, rich man, from Della
ware who has recently become citizen
of Orange county, will seek the nominal
ton. is discredited by the district republi-
can leaders, who say that if Mr. Lowry,
of Stafford county, wants the nomination
he can get it, or in case he does not, then
Mr.. Strother, of Fauquier, would be the
second choice. They say Mr.. Lowry Is
popular and strong with the voters in
King George and Stafford counties,
while Mr.. Strother is equally so in Fau-
quier-though none of them will even
intimate that either would stand ghost
of a chance of election. As heretofore
stated in the Gazette the leaders want
to put candidate in the field in order
to get their voters, both white and color
ed, to register, saying that it will be
easier to register this year than it will
be in 1904. At the republican conven-
ton above alluded to, members OF the
district committee are to be chosen but
it is said that the present members oil
the committee will be again selected.

MURDER AND ARsoY.-Yesterday
morning, soon after midnight, when
Isham Newman, youth, returned to his
home near Jefferson City, Tenn, from a
shopping trip to nearby village, he
found the building on fire. In one of
the rooms was the dead body of his
brother Watkin Newman, aged twenty
four years. The body was rescued in a
partly crisp condition, but the building
and all contents were destroyed. Yes
terday an investigation revealed that
the skull of Newman vas crushed, and
lot of gold he carried on his person is
missing. A pistol he kept under his
pillow was also gone. The Newman
brothers were popular farmers, well-to-do
and active in politics, They slept at
home and boarded with neighbor during
the absence of the members of the family.
Officers, who are Investigating, believe
robbery the cause Of the double crime
but a rumor is current that political
animosity existing as a result of the State
and county elections of August 7 was
the origin of the crime.

MYSTERIOUS SUICIDE.

The mysterious suicide of pretty l6-
vear-old girl, member of well-known
family in Winchester, Saturday night,
was not unraveled by the coroner's jury
Yesterday and will likely remain mys-
terry. The victim Of self-destruction was
Miss Rebecca Albin, daughter OF ex-
Judge NJ. ID. Albin, former prominent
business man of Winchester. The girl
WAS found on fashionable thoroughfare,
about $3.50 O'Clock Saturday night.
People were attracted to the spot by her
means, and ten minutes later she was
dead. Before she died she said that she
had taken strychnine, but beyond saying
that she was tired of life she gave no
motive for her act A possible motive
was suspected when J. r. Pinnell, a
travelling man of Philadelphia, was
placed under arrest at 2 o'clock yester-
dav morning. Ii was learned, and
Pinnel himself admitted to the corOner's
Jury, that he had met Miss Albin, and
for the past three days had been much
in her company. He frequently called
at the house, he said and
they took number of drives and
walks. About 2 o'clock Saturday
afternoon Pinnell and Miss Albin went
walking. He left her about 4 O'Clock,
and few minutes later she went into
drug store for two ounces of chloroform,
which was given her. She then said
that her mother had sent her for bottle
of strychnine, and she was given bottle
containing 81 grains. The girl then
went home, and, according to PinnelPs
testimony, she failed to keep an engage
ment with him to go driving Saturday
night. No evidence was produced to
show the girls movements between the
time she left home at so clock and when
she took the fatal dose. Pinnell, how
ever says he was driving around town
hunting for her, and the first he knew of
the suicide was when he called at her
home. Miss Abba was conscious to
within q few minutes of her death.
When told she was dying she seemed to
regret her act and begged the physicians
to save her life, crying, ooh, why did |
10 it," In answer to questions, she
refused to assign any reason for her act,
)nly saying, II am tired, so tired of life. y
Pinnell denied that lac was driving with
the girl Saturday night, but It's asserted
that she was out driving with some one.
rhe coroner's jury brought in a verdict
hat Miss Albin came to her death by a
lose of strychnine, self-administered,
md exonerated Pinnell from any con-
nection with her death. Pinnell was
discharged from custody. Miss Albin
was an unusually pretty and popular girl,
md the circumstances of her tragic death
have created feeling in Winchester not
evinced in a similar case in years.

the American Express Company at

shipped the money to Fordsvile, is un-
der arrest at livingston, and j. C..
Schlitzbaum, the agent Of the company,

circumstances in connection with the
robbery are peculiar. Several days ago
a man giving his name as j. V. Boatner,
of Memphis. Tenn, appeared at the
office of the American Express at
Deaneville, five miles from Fordsville,
and wanted to express $50, 600 to the
latter point. Boatner took a receipt for
il, and then the agent remembered
that he was allowed to ship only
50, 900 at one time and made him
take the cash back. Boatner kept
the money until Friday when
it was sent to Fordsville by express,
where it arrived late Friday night The ex-
press agent, it is said, informed a number Of
people that tie money had arrived. it was
not put in tAnk, as Mr.. Boatner sent word
that he would be there early next morning.
Yesterday morning Schlitzbaum turned up ut
Falls of Rough, ten miles away. He stated

it is said is not in first class condition.

passing over it. Many suppose in mat
tiers of this kind, that where two coun.
ties unite in the building of a bridge.
that each county pays one-half the ex-
pense. This is mistake, each county
pays according to it's assessable wealth.
Nodaway's wealth is about $1,000, 600
and Hollis about 81, 100000. 1t is esti-
mated that Hollis proportion for such q
bridge will be about 1880. The court
is also thinking of building q bridge
