Not until recently did Conan Doyle
reveal the origin Of Sherlock Holmes,
character that has won the admiration
of all who have read Sir Arthur

A DELAWARE LYNCHING.

One day last week negro living
near New Castle, Del, caught an
unprotected girl on the road. COM
mitted a nameless assault upon her
and then cut her throat. When the
poor little thing was discovered she
was staggering along, trying to get
to her home, but was so exhausted
from the shock and loss of blood
that she fell in faint and died
without regaining consciousness.
The victim of this black brute
was a refined girl, about seventeen
years of age and daughter of the
Rev. +. A. Bishop, superintendent
of the Ferris Industrial School.
She had been to school preparing
herself for the duties of life. and
was returning home in the after
noon with the JOY and hope of
youth in herheart, thinking. doubt
less, of the promised pleasures of
vacation and running over her
plans, thinking of the friends she
would meet and the affectionate
attentions that would be bestowed
upon her, when beast in human
form approached, If this beast had
been a bear or tiger, she would
have run for her life, But she sus-
pected no evil until she was sliced
and held in the clutches of the
demon. Then, poor child, the ter
rlblc situation presented itself.
Then she realized that the 'imme-
diatc jewel of her soul" was about
to be stolen and with the despera-
ton of indignant womanhood she
drew a little penknife and tried to
defend herself. But with all her
powers, what was she, a delicate
girl. in the hands of this monster
of iron muscle and upbridled pas
sion, She was an infant in his
hands, and after one passion pos

HON. BLACKBURN SMITH.


the late legislature has blown away.
we can review with conservative
eyes the work of that body and
see if the extended session was. or
was not of value To the State.
This we intend doing from time
To time in the columns of our
paper. but before taking it up.
think IT well that we look into the
work that has been accomplished
by our Representatives. In this
connection we will dealin this issue
with our Representative. Mr..
Blackburn Smith, but do 50 only as
a public servant.
We find Mr.. Smith was a mem
Der of the Committee of the Courts
of Justice. and are pleased to note
he was a very constant attendant
At It's meetings.
As a member of this Committee.
he sat in the famous Campbell case.
and was among those who signed
the minority report, that was after
wards adopted by the Senate. The
Campbell case was one of such
nOt0riety. IL i needless for rs TO
comment ON Mr.. Smiths action.
other than TO say. we are glad the
Representative of Clarke and
Warren did not Join the rabbIe that
cried cruelty him." but carefully
passed Judgment, netting out
punishment commensurate to the
oflenSe.
We find Mr.. Smith offered and
had passed about twenty five bills:
we will not attempt to take these
bills up one by one. but in a gen
eral way criticise his work.
1t Is evident Mr.. Smith looked
carefully after the interests of his
home people from the number of
bills that to us seem all beneficial
10 Clarke and Warren he had pass
ed, all that is necessary is to name
the heading, and it is self evident
the bills were proper. Among
others we find a bill for the pro-
lection of sheep. a bill To allow the
town of Front Royal TO supply
said town and its vicinity with
water and to issue bonds of said
town to effect said puapOse. "a bill
to prevent shipment of certain
game killed. captured or obtained
in Clarke County. \ bill To en-
power Clarke County To purchase

times of holding regular sessions
of the Board of Supervisors of

supervisors of Page, Warren.

a bill to allow Aubrey G.. Weaver
to appear before the Judges Of Tho
