Mr.. EpiFoR: :-Will you kindly give
space in your valuable paper to extend
the compliments Of the day to the dirty
skunk who 90 brutally killed my valuable

A SUICIDE?

A dispatch from Richmond says NJ.
A. Palmore, the Chesapeake and Ohio
telegraph operator at Elk Hill, who on
Wednesday night attempted to assault
Miss Emma Cobbs, II years old,
operator at Sabot, on the same line, is
probably lying at the bottom of the ship
canal dock in that city.
A blue uniform coat with Chesapeake
and Ohio buttons on it was found on the
bank on Saturday, and was recognized as
Palmore's coat. 1t had in the pockets
letters addressed to his wife and mother,
acknowledging his sin and full of re-
morse for his behavior and indicating
that his purpose was to drown himself.
A warrant has been out for Palmore
ever since his discharge here Wednesday
night by the Chesapeake and Ohio Com
pany, and some of the detectives at work
on the case believe that the coat and
letters were ruse, and that Palmore had
gone to parts unknown. The chief of
police is, however, firmly of the belief
that Palmore's body will be found.
The dock was dragged on Saturday
afternoon, and will probably be drawn
off, when lack OF traffic will admit of its
being emptied.
The letters wereaddressed to his moth
err. Mrs B. w. Palmore, Gainesville,
and to his wife. They are brief and pa
thetic One communication says that
the writer could not resist temptation,
and that he realized when too late the
awful stain on his uame. Il also states
that he is leaving the world forever, but
he has a brother on whose name no stain
rests. The writer asks his mother to love
the good son and forget her hayward boy.
In conclusion the letter says: "When
you drag my lifeless body from the cold,
dark waters take me to Gainesville and
bury me where can rest by my mothers
side when she joins me. Be mother to
my wife. Good-by forever. Your erring
son."
This letter bears the signature of NJ.
A. Palmore, and was identified Satur-
day by one who knows Palmore's
handwriting we'll. Theletter to the miss
ing mans wife had on the back of it:
"Will somebody please give this to Mrs.
Marian Palmore, Gainesville, Va. % In
the letter the writer advised his wife
to 90 to the home of his mother and COM
fort her in her declining years. The let
ter concludes with statement to the ef-
feet that Palmore's body will be found
in the water.
A telegram was received in Richmond
on Saturday by Palmore from his father,
stating that some money would be paid
him at Chester, where he went. His wife
was there, and they returned to Rich
mond, the wife leaving for Gainesville.
These circumstances cause the detectives
to believe the coat and letters were ruse

THE MORE that is heard of the charges
against Gen. Wood, now being investi-
gated by the Senate military committee,
the more is it shown that he should
never be allowed to become general OF
the army. Evidence has been presented
to prove that while he was Governor
General of Cuba his first great care was
to line his pockets with money regardless
of whose it was and how he got it and
that he even allowed presents Of money
TO be made to his wife Witnesses have
also testified that the shareholders of a
gambling concern were assessed to pay
for presents to the Governor General and
that the latter urged the granting of a
concession, suppressing evidences of its
character. Still the impression prevails
in Washington that Gen. Woods ap-
p,intment will be confirmed. 1t may
BE- that the committee will report against

In HIS appeal to the American peofie
.he Panama affair. President

In HIS appeal to the American peofie
concerning the Panama affair, President
Marroouin of Colombia says in part;
The Colombian nation has just been
the victim of unexpected aggression,
and is in danger of losing the best part
of lis territory. A military movement.
not popular sentiment, was the origin O.
the proclamation of the independence O.
Panama. The American government
which always had been held by Colombo
~ he lis best friend and ally, prevented.
with marines, loyal militia iron
snbingating the traitors and checking
the origin of the insubOrdinatlon.
The solemn treaty between Columbia and
the United States, alluded to until the
last moment by the American govern
ment binds the United States not only
to respect the sovereignty and ownership
ofthe Panama Isthmus by Colombia, but
70 help the latter maintain them. The
proceedings of the United States marines
On the isthmus and Of the American
Minister at Panama are in open violation
of that treaty. The traditions OF that
great nation, the United States, as a
mighty defender of rights and bearer OF
the standard of civilization before the
world, always have been opposed to the
secession of territories and the dismem-
boring of nations. Non-recognition OF
the Confederate States during the civil
war confirms the application OF this
doctrine decisively at critical Smoments.
The American people will not permit, !
am sure, violation of public treaties,
thus denying their glorious traditions, in
order to obtain by force what Colombia
is ready to .concede through pacific and
equitable ways. The Colombian people
tranquil in the strength of right and
being sure of the sentiments of justice
and equity of the American people, ap-
peal to the national conscience OF the
United States, which conscience consti-
tutes a force superior by far to that OF
an army and navy, in order to save the
honor and integrity of our territory.
The appeal will fall upon deaf ears
though it is unanswerable from any
standpoint, and places the United
States in an unenviable position. The
act of this country, it is true, has been
affirmed by other royal robbers who will
be benefited directly or indirectly by
the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of small and help
less nation.
