APPEAL IN M'CUE CASE.
Supreme Court VIII Pass or Forty
Assignments Of Error.

A bulky package was delivered by the
express company to the Supreme Court oil
Appeals In Richmond Tuesday. IL was
sent from Lynchburg, and contained the
petition OF John L. Lee and j. Tinsley
Coleman in behalf Of j. Samuel McCue,
former mayor OF Charlottesville, who ID
sentenced to hang January 20 Tor the
murder OF his vile.
The package was taken into the con
ference room. The judges will probably
take the matter up at once, and It may
be that a writ OF error will be granted
to prolong the life OF McCue until all Of
the forty assignments OF error prepared
by his counsel have been examined
There Is a belief among those who have
followed the case carefully that McCue
will obtain q new trial
A statement received by the auditor
shows that the total Jury expense In thu

tions held on November 1, deciding which party
shall conduct the next Presidential elections,
were orderly throughout the republic, which is
unusual. The peace party was Overwhelmingly
victorious. The rurnors that a revolution had
broken out in Santo Domingo probably resulted
from some Wild talk on the part of irresponsible,
unsuccessful candidates. and resulted in few
arrests being made.
The alarming reports in circulation in the
United States not understood here. Busi-

ing made Two hundred European immigrants
