cial Circuit, composed Of the counties of
Loudoun. Fauquier and Appropriateness.
is received here by the Warrenton bar
and his friends generally with no little
degree Of pleasure. Mr.. Turner is u
young attorney who is ripe In legal lore,
and will bring to the bench an experience
OF fourteen years practice. added to q
thorough mastery of the law for one so
young. He will be one Of the youngest
men, ii not the youngest, in the State
to occupy the bench. He is a gentleman
of the strctest honesty and integrity,
modest. unnssumng and retiring, and
yet withal possessing flrmness and
strict regard for justice and fairness that
will make him q bulwark of strength on
the bench. He was born in Warrenton.
September IS, 1870. The High School here
and Locust Dale Academy, In Madison
county, were the scenes of his early
preparatory education. Following this
period he was deputy clerk of the Circuit
Court OF this county for two years under
his father John r. Turner. who was
clerk of the court. During his official
career In this capacity he applied him
self to tho study Of Law, in addition to
mastering the Intricate details OF chan
Gerry and clerks office work That this
Very important legal training III the
circuit clerks office was time well spent
is proved by the fact that only one ses-
sion at the UniversIty OF Virginia was
necessary for him to finish I'M legal edu-
cation. He was at the University during
the session OF 1891 92 and acquitted him
self with high honor, On his return
home he commenced the practice OF law
in the fall OF 1892. That 1t has been q
marked success Is better evidenced by tho
fact that his many friends. legal and
others, while sharing with him tho honor
OF his elevation to the judicial bench,
deeply deplore it to q large extent, beltev-
Ing that he is making n great sacrifice.
because. in doing So he gives up one of
the most lucrative and growing law prac-
tees in Northern Virginia, the ernolu-

In determining whether or not the charts

TROLLEY CAR WRECK
StYEN PERSONS KILLED And OYER
TWENTY INJURED.
Party of Young Folks Were Returning
to Providence, r. l., From Crescent
Park-Motorma Did Not Know the
Track and Allowed Car to Strike a
Curve at Full Speed.

Providence, r. l., June A large
10 seated open car, chartered by a pri-
vate party and returning to this city
from Crescent park, left the rails on a
sharp curve in East Providence and
was overturned. Seven persons were
killed and 20 injured.
1t is believed two of the injured will
die. A revised list of the dead fol-
lows:
George Atcherson, 20 years.
Edward +. Brennan, Is years.
Alice Franklin, II years.
Enrico Gamboni % years.
John Gavin, 20 years.
Angelo German, 80 years.
Gustave Guertin, % years.
William w, Luther, u years.
Bertha NJ Kelley, Is years.
John Schneider, 10 years.
Ethel Whitley, 10 years.
The motorman in charge of the car.
w. j. Laughcher, was unfamiliar with
the road over which he was travelling.
The car, an open one, was of heavy
build.
Fog prevented a clear view of the
road ahead and the motorman. una
ware of the sharp curve below, allowed
the car to coast rapidly down the hill.
Suddenly he felt the car swing into the
curve, and, realizing the peril, reversed
the current and applied the brakes.
Seven of the passengers were pin
Toned beneath the car and instantly
killed.
Those who were able began the work
of rescue. A large joist was utilized
as a lever, a pile of stones forming a
fulcrum and the car was raised from
the ground just enough to permit the
escape of its imprisoned passengers.
Two persons had succeeded in escap-
ing when the joist broke under the
weight of the car and the heavy We
hicle fell back, killing two of the in
jured
The rescuers again raised the car
from the ground and by building pile
of heavy stone kept it in position while
the dead and injured were removed.
Two of those taken out, John Gavin
and George Atkinson, both of whom
had sustained fractured skulls, died
within an hour
