RALlYING FOR THE NOMINATION
LEGLESS MAN WANTS TO BE
SHERIFF IN RICHMOND.
W. Collier Gibson Says That He Is
Much Encouraged by What He
Hears of His Prospects,.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RICHMOND, Va, June 19.-Richmond
has a unique candidate for the demo-
cratic nomination for the office of sheriff
in the person of W. Collier Glib
son, a man who lost both legs seventeen
years ago in a railroad accident
Robert l.. Taylor, the distinguished
United States senator from Tennessee, is
said to have fiddled himself into all of
the many offices that he has held at the
hands of the people of the old Volunteer
state. Men in Richmond have been
known to sing themselves into important
positions, while hundreds of others here
have run their competitors to the rear,
thereby obtaining coveted prizes for
which they were striving. Mr. Gibson
is forced by am unfortunate circumstance
over which he had no control to roll
for the office to which he is now asking
his felloW-citiZenS to elect him.
When quite young man he was the
victim of serious railroad accident.
which necessitated the amputation of
both his legs just below the thighs.
Gibson's Wonderful Recovery.
1t was in 1892 that Mr.. Gibson fell be-
tween two cars on the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad near Toano. about thirty
miles east of Richmond. The cars passed
over him. breaking his legs far above
the knees in such "a manner as to neces-
state amputation. Mr.. Gibson, who was
then just twenty years of age and in
robust health, was rushed to a hospital.
where a successful operation was per-
formed. He proved to be man of iron
courage, never for a moment having lost
his nerve. He remained in the hospital
only three weeks, since which time he
has been actively engaged in the prosecu-
tion of his trade as a bricklayer. Mr..

But supreme among all is a great dram

motives which act on man and explains
the complicated and intricate threads on
which his life mystery depends. He

fore as Mr.. Coll says, if any one can
teach us criminal psychology it is Shake

Shakespeare has long Est of criminals
and Mr.. August Coll only selects one Or
two typical instances which serve his
particular purpose. Thus. beginning with
a man like Brutus, who attempts to sub
vert society with the most admirable mo-
tives in the world, he passes on to Mac

ends with the man or the fiend lago.

DENOUNCED AS An ANTlCHRIST

Special Cabiegram to The Star.

Special Cabiegram to The Star
ST. PETERSBURG, June 19.-Twenty-
six peasants of Sysoevo have Just been
acquitted of the murder of a two-year-
old child who had been denounced as an
antichrist. The instigator of the crime
religious fanatic-and the father of the
child was released on the ground that he
had acted in an excess of mental ex-
altation.'
The self-styled prophet" seems to have
hypnotized the degenerate peasants into
a state of brutal frenzy. After he had
named the "antichrist" and had ascribed
all the woes of Russia, and more par
ticularly the bad harvests of Sysoevo, to
his arrival, the peasants marched in pro-
cession to the hut of the child's parents
Midnight was the hour chosen for the
sacrifice. Q
Trampled Child to Death.
The peasants carried lighted candles
and ikons and sang prayers. They found
the child asleep in its cradle The
prophet seized 1t in his hands and
dashed it to the ground, then jumped on
it and trampled it to death. He then
ordered the peasants to lift the body and
pull it asunder. They obeyed his in
functions. Afterward hatchets were
fetched and the body was chopped to
pieces. The remains were then wrapped
up in a cloth, which was tied to the
tail of white horse, and dragged to a
neighboring bog, into which it was
thrown.
The prophet" had assured the peasants
that the child would Immediately rise
from the dead, and when the promise
was not fulfilled they began to realize
the enormity of their offense, and fear
for the consequences. They were arrest
ed the following day.
When the verdict of acquittal was an
nounced all the peasants fell on their
knees thanking God and blessing the
judges.

Urges Soil Survey.

The necessity for an immediate soil
survey of the Seventh Mississippi Dis
trict was urged upon Secretary Wilson
of the Department of Agriculture by
Representative Dickson, who declared
that boil weevil ravages had rendered
necessary the cultivation of some other
crop han cotton. TO ascertain the
adaptability of the soil of the Seventh
District will require a careful soil sur
vey, and Representative Dickson believes
that the exigency of the situation in his
district demands an early survey. Secre-
tary Wilson did not. hold out any en-
couragement to Mr.. Dickson, for the
reason that nearly the entire staff of
soil experts now is engaged in making
surveys in Northern States, where the
work of the bureau can only be done
in the summer months. He promised,
however, to send experts to the Seventh
District at the first opportunity. A sur
.vey is now being made in Representa-
tive Gamblers district, and if possible
Representative Dickson will have the ex-
perts now engaged in that field sent into
his own district when they shall have
finished their task.

TARIFF BILL CLEANED UP.
Aldrich Allows Cotton Bagging to
Go Free.

Washington.-After se~venty-ive days
of almost continuous debate the senate
Monday at 3:45 pm. concluded its dis
cussion of the schedules of the Payne.
Aldrich tariff bill. Five minutes after.
wards the senate adjourned for the day
to permit the slight preparation possible
in so short a time for the debate OF the
corporation and income tax questions.
The days proceedings consisted of a
general and final clearing up of the
passed-over provisions in both the duti.
able and free lists of the tariff bill. Cot
ton bagging, cotton ties and binding
Irvine occupied much of the senate's
time. Early in the day Senator McLau.
rim moved to place bagging on the free
list and, contrary to the general expec-
~tation, the motion prevailed.
Southern senators were, however, not
80 fortunate with cotton ties, which they
also desired to have made free of duty.
Senator Culberson proposed the change
in ties. He cam within seven votes of
winning, the vote standing 81 to 3s.

The amendment was adopted by a viva

END OF WOOD|L CASE
EASTMAN WAS PRINCIPAL OR
ACCESSORY TO MURDER.
Mrs. Eastman Visits Grave of Hus-
band, Upon Which Tomato Vine
Had Been Planted.

st. Michaels, Md.-With the com.
promise verdict of the coroner's jury
that Robert E. Eastman either KILLED
or was accessory to the murder of Edith
May Woodill," and the declaration of
States Attorney Taylor that he was
through with the case, the strange dual
tragedy which had for nearly a week TO.
cused the eyes of the entire country upon
this little, out-of-the-way hamlet of
Maryland's famous Eastern shore became
a closed incident Monday.
The jury sat for a time in the lonely
bungalow, within sight of Eastman's UNI.
marked grave, not fifty feet away. Mrs.
Eastman had visited the place earlier in
the day and had stood dry-eyed for a
time beside the new-made mound. Some
one, with ill-judged humor, had planted
a tomato vine On the grave. Mrs. East
man, thinking the vine a native flower,
asked what it was. No one had the
temerity to tell her. She stood by the
grave until at last a cOnvulsive shudder
shook her shoulders. Then she was led
away.
Much Of the testimony given before
the jury was deeply interesting, and
made clear many points in the tragedy
which heretofore have been matters of
conjecture.
The final theory of the authorities is
this:
THAT Eastman was in need of money;
that he probably had been getting money
from Mrs. Woodill for some time; that
he undoubtedly knew something of her
past life, and that he had been black
mailing her; that he attempted to con
tinue this practice, and that the woman
rebelled, intimating that she, too, had
found out certain things about Eastman
and that if driven to it would expoae
him"

and manufacturers and mill agents re-
port a considerable improvement in the
situation. The advance in prices during
the current month has varied from SO
cents to $3.50 per Thousand, and the
lumbermen attribute the advance chiefly
to the fact that a large number of mills
nave curtailed their output, some of the
larger plants having closed down com-
pletely for the summer months.

the State farms of which he has general
