TWO MEN KILLED.

Russell Wise and his helper, -
Dean, we're engaged In road repair work
between Hume's Spring and FOur-mile
run about 10 O'Clock this morning. They
ran their wagon into Hsney's gravel
bank to get load Of gravel. While the
two men we're shoveling the gravel into
the wagon the bank suddenly csved In
upon them, killing both. An alarm
wsu given by some one who witnessed
the accident, and Sheriff Palmer and
some others hastily began the work Of
excavating the men, but by the time
they we're reached life was extinct. The
bodies OF the unfortunate men were car
ried to their respective homes, Wise's
near Arlington, and Deans near Bar
croits mill.

REsPIrES FOR MURDERERs.

After the WashiDgtOn-Southern train
left the union station at 4:l0 yesterday
afternoon with Calvin Johnson, Richard
Pines aud Eugene Dorsey, the three
negro murderers, aboard, 1t was Announ'
ced by the authorities that resPites had
been granted by Governor Swanson.
johnson had been sentenced to die on
September 8, he was respited until Oc'
tober s; Pines, sentenced to die on Sep
tembsr 10, was Iespited until October
10; Dorsey, sentenced to die Oh
September II, Was respied until October
%. The fespiies we're granted by Gov
ernor Swanson upon receipt of a letter
from Judge Louis O. Barley, OF the
Corporation court, before whom the
men were tried, who desires an extern
on of time for the negroes 10 order
that the commonwealth attorney OF
Alexandria may be permitted to ex-
anime all bills of exception filed by
counsel for the prisoners and to present
any OH ectiOus be may have. The records
in the csse are very vOluminous. The
cases, it is said, are to be appealed to
the Court Of Appeals, in order to have
that body pass upon the question OF
writ of eir15.
The three condemned men did not
know that they had been respited by the
governor while they we're being taken
away yesterday afternoon, and neither
did the large crowd that followed them
from the jail to the union station. 1t is
said that the announcement OF the re-
spite was delayed until after the men
left the city for fear OF some overt act

May Is a charming entertainer and was
at her best last night Mr. George
Van ia his famous creation, "a Black
GIL from the South" is original, and
there are very few comedians today who

limit. The McCssin trio 10 their
uproarious funny act, ellie in the City
Suburbs" is q perfect scream, and with
out a doubt as delivered by this trio OF
excellent performers is the greatest
laugh-producer that ever came to Alex
andria. Doyle and Primrose we're sbso-
Iutely good. The team 10 their singing,
dancing aud talking we're of the highest
class and certainly we're appreciated by
the large audience that was on band 10
witness the show. Mr.. Doyle is versa
tile comedian of the old school and II
certainly is q treat to see comedian OF
his worth.

God and shall be judged according to
how they have spent their time here

Jesus every knee shall bow and every
tongue shall confess his name. Are
we living SO that if we are called to
meet our Saviour we can meet Him

ed. We must be washed in the Blood
of Jesus if not we cannot be saved.
Sinner, just think how is it with you,
and turn to God before it is too late
If you could just see the danger you
are in. Ye writer has some that are
near and dear that don't seem to see
where they are going. Christians, pray

comes in all the new and popular
shades, and combines beautifully with
the cloths of the season. One woman
was planning a beautiful costume.
She had her gown made at home with
the assistance of dressmaker who
sewed by the day. 1t was OF green
messaline, a dull, almost hunters
green The frock was trimmed with
tucked chiffon of the same shade, and
an odd twist of black silk braid was
used on the bodice. The costume was
empire. The woman had her coat
made at the tailor's 1t was long.
straight, three-quarter length affair on
empire lines, entirely outlined with
the same silk braid which appeared
on the gowns bodice, and trimmed
with huge buttons. The coat was vel
ultima, in green to match the costume.
Such costume worn with hat OF
green velvet or satin and long, black
plume would be wonderfully smart.
