Tale Bearer Was MObbed.

Baltimore, Nov. 14.-ln wild
frenzy of revenge, seventy MEM
bors of the graduating class of
the Western High School have
set upon Miss Lilly Bengert, their
classmate, whom they accused of
being a "tale bearer" They
scratched her face till the blood
ran, pulled out her hair, tore her
hat to pieces, kicked her books
into the gutter and then tried to
tear off her clothing.
Miss Bengert finally broke and
ran, pursued by nearly 200 girls.
She finally dashed into a gro
Gerry, and the clerks barred the
doors, until the police scattered

Falnl Initiation.

New York, November 13.-Dr.
Leopold Hirschmann of this city,
a cousinsof Martin Loew, a medi-
cal student, whose death occurred
recently!at Baltimores soon after
his initiation into a Greek letter
fraternity, says he has received
details Of the affair from a fell
student. The latter declared
that when Loew went to the fra
ternity hall to take the first de-
gree he was met by twenty-five
men. He was told to undress,
and after doing so he was blind
folded and taken to room,
where he was laid upon cake of
ice. He was then carried up
stairs to the balcony and thrown
over the rail, a drop of twenty
five feet.
On the floor beneath stood a
number of students holding a
sheet.
"When Loew fell into this"
said the doctor, she was tossed
up and down until he was I'M
conscious. After being revived
he was beaten until his body was
a mass of bruises.
"That night he was in such a
wretched condition that his room
mate stayed up all night with
him. Whisky and quinine were
given to him during the night,
and in the morning he felt re-
lieved.
"The following Saturday he
took the second degree. In the
morning he was found dead, and
his chum, who had just taken the
first degree, was in a serious con-
dition. The guilty ones should
be sent to the gallows. They are
murderers."

Candidates at Yellville.

Yellville, Nov. 12,-The three
candidates for governor spoke
here today to a crowded house.
Governor Davis opened the dis
cussion at II a. N. and spoke for
An hoursand a half on the same
line as heretofore reported in the
Gazette.
Mr.. Vandeventer spoke first
this afternoon, and dwelt at
length on the governors record.
He scored him severely, and ac-
cused him Of trying to get a rake
off of S12,500 on the purchase of
a state convict farm.
When Judge Wood spoke the
crowd most all remained to hear
him, although it was late when
he began, and was almost sun
down when he closed, He de-
livered a singing rebuke to the
governor on his pardon of DR..
Lee Johnson and the negro, Pomp
Brown, and many others. The
governor had at somc places in
the state criticised Judge Wood
for making mining investments
in Marion county, but from gen.
eral expressions it was apparent
that the people here do not think
it a crime to own mining lands.

The politicals pot is beginning

Beyond his Income.

The Des Moines, Iowa, News
finds the material for good SER
mon in the fall of James P. Blair
OF st. Louis, and delivers itself of
this line of reasoning:
"An Unsuitable ambition to
keep his end up as a social leader
and foremost citizen of his city
led this man into wholesale en-
bezzlement and forgery.
"He was the son of the famous
General Frank P. Blair. He was
counsel-general to the Worlds
Fair. His wife was president of
the board of lady managers of,the
Worlds Fair-a woman of culture
and a leader in social and literary
clubs. Blair was himself a polit-
ical 'reformer,' prosecutor of
'boodlers' and delivered lectures
on Business Morality
SIN short, James P. Blair was
the Chevalier Bayard of st, Louis
its bright particular star Of gen.
tility and probity.
"And then onegday the public
press,accused him of confiscating
the estate of an old blind woman
who trusted him absolutely and
of uttering forged notes and bog
ussdeeds ofstrust to the amount Of
100000! And he made no de-
nial.
"The old story:
"Blair was not satisfied to be a
successful lawyer and to live
modestly and within his income.
He must have a lordly country
establishment, where he could
lavishly sentertainssssthe notables
who came to the city. That took
vastly more money.than he could
earn. Thereswas only one way
to keep'going.
"And so he began his DR..
Jekell-Mr. Hyde existence. The
dual.life could not:last.
"The sermon?
"Social ambition ruins it's
thousands. The overweening de-
sire to outshine ones neighbors
breeds all.sorts Of crime. Undue
vanity is at the bottom of it.
Destruction, travels in its wake.
"And,the exortation:
"When you feel inclined to go
beyond your income for vanity's
sake, think Of James P. Blair"

The Moral Is Plain.

A man who was too economi-
cal to subscribe forSa paper sent
his little boy to borrowl the copy
taken by his neighbor, In his
haste the boy ran over asa stand
of bees and in ten minutes looked
like a water summer squash. His
cries reachedshis father, who ran
to his assistance, and failing to
notice a barbed Nwire fence, ran
into that, breaking it down, cut
ting handful of flesh from his
anatomy and running a S4 pair Of
pants. The old COW took ad-
vantage OF the gap in the fenoe
and got into the cornfeld and
killed herself eating green corn.
Hearing the racket, the wife
ran, upset a fourgallon churn full
of rich cream into d basket of
kittens, drowning the flock, In
the hurry she dropped S25 set
of false teeth, The baby, lofr
alone, crawled through the spilled
milk and into the parlor, running
a brand-new $40 carpet,

Governors DISREGARD For Facts.

In a circular recently issued by
Governor Davis and scattered
broadcast, in which he criticises
Judge Wood for having appointed
a negro jury commissioner while
he was circuit judge in Drew and
Ashley counties, appears the fol-
lowing paragraph:
"Drew and Ashley are both
Democratic counties, and a large
majority of their population are
white people"
This assertion opens up an in
teresting question as to the sta
tistics of population in these two
counties and the adjoining coun-
ty of Chicot. Below is a state
ment taken from the last three
census reports, showing the pre-
dominance Of the colored popu-
lation over the white:

rlR. HoWlsoN's FAREWELL
Popular Minister Gives Interesting Facts
as to His Ministry.
Special to The Times.Dispatch.)

Especial to The Times. Dispatch.)
ASHLAND, VA, June 1.-The Pres
byterian Church was crowded last night
of the town, who assembled to hear Rev.
r. r. Howison preach his farewell SER
mon. out of respect to this honored
reverend gentleman. services of the
other denominations were suspended.
Mr.. 1iowison has been the faithful min
lister CT his church here for nearly nine
years, and the large gathering who
braved the wretched weather last night
gave ample and complete testimony OF
their love. respect and high esteem.
He took for his text Acts chapter 90
verse SO: "And now, brethren, l conf
mend YOU to God, and TO the word OF
His Grace, which is able to build you
up. and to give you an Inheritance
among all them which are sanctihed."
In n most feeling and tender way, full
OF eloquence and deep seated love for
his flock, Mr.. Howison spoke for some
twenty minutes. At times his hearers
were moved to tears at the language he
used. All through his discourse he piead
for the grace of God to aid the elders,
other officers and members OF his church,
md of nll others In tho town, and In
closing he gave short summary Oh MS
Stewardship, as follows:
During the period of my ministry IN
this church forty-one persons have peeh
added to It's mcmbershp--twenty- -four
upon confession of their faith IN our
Lord Jesus Christ and seventeen upon
certificate and transfer of membership
from other churches Although this
number Is not large. yet when we con-
s,dnr TINT tho whole white population OF
Ashland does not exceed 900. ana that
of these rs many probably MS 100 40 not
habitunly attend any church. ana trat
the remaining 500 are distributed among
eslx Christian organizations giving an
average attendance Of about 1876, the
number added to the Presbyterian
Church is not relatively discouraging.
In my pastorate of nearly nine years. l
have been in contemporary service with
three ministerial brethren Of the Baptist
Church. four OF the Chrstinn or DIS,
ciples Church. four of tho Methodlst
Episcopal Church. two of the Protestant
Episcopal Church and three OF tho Ro-
man Catholic Church. making In all SIX
teen ministerial contemporaries. With
all these ministers of tho Gospel OF
Christ have been on terms OF the most
cordial Christian friendship. and the
people under their care have all mani-
tested to me the ltindliest feelings and
attentions. In truth, all the residents
Of Ashland, Of nl classes and conditions.
have SO borne themselves to me In cour-
tesy md kindness that feel strong
regard for them. and desire for them
happiness. To the presidents, profess
sors, officers md students of the college
Of Rardolph Macon am indebted Tor
honors ana privileges highly priced and
never to be forgotten.
And now to all bid loving tareWel,.
Nav we all meet in Heaven, through
:1csus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Mr.. Howison goes to his home. near
Fredericksburg. where he has liver Tor
years. each Saturday visiting Ashland.
