the hail there was a terrific wind and

BETTER STOP THIS soR OF THING

Loose ideas prevail in some COM
munities with regard to the RESI- Iect
due to women.
In some places it is known to be I'M
safe for respectable women and girls
to venture out unattended on the street
even I'm the day time. But in Virginia
a powerful sentiment protect women
who conduct themselves properly. The
presumption is that Ii they so conduct
themselves they are what they should
be. but at any rate they have the right
not to be imposed upon. They have
not physical strength to defend theI-
selves; 50. the institutions OF civiliz-
alton must protect them.
Anybody who is under the impress
sion that the growth of our Virginia
cities has altered this sentiment is Ia
boring under a dangerous delusion.
We advise mashers and rowdies to be
careful how they annoy women in
this locality.
The foregoing remarks are apropos
Of the ruffianly assault made by two
men in Portsmouth Friday afternoon
upon Police Commissioner Dashiell
an dhis wife by two men who had been
rebuked by Mr. Dashiell for disturbing
a lady on the streets Of that city. The
men smacked their lips offenseively d.
the lady as she passed them They re
sented Mr.. Dashiell's Interference III
her behalf and made a vicious on
slaught upon him, beating him severe
ly.
When his wife begged them to so
away one of the men is reported to
have knocked her down.
If the facts are as reported, the guii-
ty parties should be promptly tried
and sent to the penitentiary Tor terms
long enough to serve as an effective
warning to others who may be inclln-
ed to regard the public streets of
Virginia city as purlieus in which the
restraints of decency and respect to
wOmanhood may be cast aside with
impunity-NOrfOlk Landmark

found dead this morning about 1880
o'clock in her home at the corne. of
East Morehead street and the Southern
Railway. Mr.. Harry Powers, her hus-
| band, was found in an unconscious
state on the floor near her. Both had
| been shot through the head with d 50
calfbre pistol
1t is thought that Powers will not
survive the day.
The news of the double crime shock
ed the community this morning. 1t is
said-andthere is every evidence that
the fact is true-that Powers murGer-
ed his wife and then shot himself The
woman was shot through the forehead

of the media line.
Powers shot himself below the right
ga rand yhen picked up was barely
breathing.
1t is supposed that the tragedy oc-
Cured about $50 o'clock last night.
A resident on East Morehead street
said that he heard two pistol shots
about that hour.
| Another resident seemed to think
that the reports of the pistol were
heard at later hour.
At any rate the shooting occurred be
fore midnight, for the blood on the
face of Mrs. Powers had coagulated .
He wound was dry this morning, but
| portion Of the brain had oozed out and
at first it was thought that the head
had been crushed after the shooting.
Powers, though still alive, was IN a
horrible state. His wound was still
bleeding and he was covered with
blood.
The room in which they were found
! were saturated with blood and from
the two people a stream had formed
and run along the floor and dried.
| The cause of the fearful crime is on
/ ly a matter of conjecture. Yesterday
Mrs. Powers was quite unwell. There
| had been no roys-heard of-which
occurred yesterday between the couuie
and it is thought after going to their
room both became intoxicated and q
drunken brawl ensued. 1t is a known
fact that both drank and drank heavi-
| ly.
The two did not get along well.
There We're many public rows between
them but the breaches were quickly
