Staunton, Va, Feb. 9.-Everything
is in readiness for the execution here
tomorrow of ]. Samuel McCue, for
mer mayor of Charlottesville, con-
victed of the murder of. his wife.
Owing to the prominence of the con-
demned man, and the general atten-
ton attracted to his case, there is a
great demand for tickets to witness
the hanging.
The crime for which the ex-mayor
is to pay the death penalty occurred
on the night of September of last
year. Mr.. and Mrs. McCue had gone
to church, returning home about 8
O'Clock in the evening. Shortly after
ward Mrs. McCue's dead body, clad
In a night robe, was found in bath
tub filled with water. Mr.. McCue
told those who came in that someone
had entered the house upon their re-
turn from church, that he had been
knocked senseless and his wife prob
ably killed. An investigation led to
the arrest on the charge of murder
of the man who only four days be.
fore had retired from the mayoral'
ty of Charlottesville.
Mrs. McCue had received the con-
tents of a shotgun in her breast, g
sufficient wound to cause instan
death, but in addition she had beer
struck heavy blow on the head
cutting an ear nearly in two.
McCue at first laid the crime to Z
stable boy, and offered $1,000 reward
for evidence to convict the murderer
The day after he offered the reward
he was himself arrested for the crime
At the trial which followed severa
witnesses testified that the married
life Of Mr.. and Mrs McCue had beer
marred by jealousy on the part of thu
wife and that they were continually
quarreling. Ono sad feature of th'
trial was the fact that McCue hat
for years been a lawyer at the bal
before which he was tried and con
victed, and had been on friendly
terms with most of those identified
with the trial.

WEEKLY, s2.oo PER YEAR
Santa at his Best.
DEAR Mr.. EDITOR -

DEAR Mr.. EDrroR:-
Santa Claus appeared at his best
at the Presbyterian church Satur-
day evening. He was received BY
a crowd of shouting children aud by
an approving throng of older per-
sons. All his proceeding reflected
great credit upon his patronesses,
Mesdames Oakes, Blalchtey Mar
latt and Stone and Miss Mcfarland
and their devoted assistants.
There was an anthem by the
choir; song by the congregation
and prayer by the pastor; after
which the children and young
people had the stage. Recitations,
songs and beautiful exercises of
every kind followed. CONSPICUOUS
was the doll song by the primary
department.; the solo of Miss Grace
Van Wyengarten, accompanying
the pantomine of the Rock of Ages,
by the young ladies af Mrs. Stones
class. The young ladies were
dressed in the fashion accredited
to angels. They gave most im-
pressive rendition of every senti-
meut of this most sanity of hymes.
1t was an acted sermon. Gladys
Gordon,-a wee tot--occupied the
platform, in her little rocker, and
sung verse after verse of her rock.a-
by song with clear, sweet voice,
which sounded to the roof The
grace and ease was that of a byima
donna. She won many plaudits.
And then Santa Claus, Mr.. Editor!
Did you know Santa Claus had a
boy? The young chap accompa-
MED the senior on this occasion.
From the antics of the lad, the ge-
nial old gentleman must spend
most of his time teaching him
tricks. The presents were munif-
icent. And all in all, by all. it
was voted to be long remembered
occasion. SPECTATOR.

Judge Frank J. Smith of 1.-THE Sew
enth district left for his home in
Caldwell yesterday. While here
he made the statement that it was
his intention to call a grand jury
in each of the three counties of his
district at the next session of court
in each.
In explaining the matter, the
Judge stated there had been numer~
Gus complaints of infraction of the
laws that seemed beyond the reach
of the ordinary mode of prosecu-
ton. Persons having knowledge
OF the facts would not come toward
and swear to complaints, but a
grand jury should be able to get at
the truth of the charges. For in
stance, it was charged that gamb-
ling had been carried on at some
places.
One matter demanding attention
was the stealing of cattle and
horses. While the officers OF the
counties had been doing we'll in
running thievs down, it was aP-
parent there were many implicated
in it and it seemed impossible to
get them all. 1t was hoped, the
Judge added, the grand juries could
secure information that would lead
to the complete breaking up OF
these gangs.-Boise Statesman.
