LYNCH TALK.
This community hag never reached a
higher pitch of excitement than has ex
feted here for the thirtyssix hours since
the murder of littie Lottie Rowe, All day
yesterday a steady stream of visitors fre

below the city, and in the city the
streets were crowded all day and nearly
all night with indignant people,
Lynch talk was heard on every hand,
but there were no leaders, All day

Judge Lyman Chalkley busied themselves

THREE COMPANIES,
Fearing an attack on the jail, the aw
thorities deemed it wise to summon
formidable band of soldiery. Last nigh!
Sortly after midnight the Harrisonburg
GGoards, Captain Roller commanding
came in, forty strong, on a special train
and within an hour this company and the
West Augusta Guards were joined by the
Monticello Guards from Charlottesville,
who also came on a special, fifty strong,
under command of Captain Kel. The
soldiers are equipped with regulation
army rifles, and each man has twenty
rounds of ammunition, In addition to the
eoldiers a special force of twenty-five ex
tra armed constables were sworn in @nd
guarded every approach to the jail, where
the man accused of the assault and mur
der was lodged, "Twas a night of strain
and suspense. Citizens were stoppsd on
the streets and prohibited to go near the
conrt-house and jail. The air resounded
with the click of bayonets and the beating
of drums. Captain Roller, being the se
nor. cornmands the three companies, The
night passed without trouble.


hic morning the Coroner's jury as.
combled, examined nearly a score of wit.
nesses, and returned a verdict that Lottie
hal come to her death from blows re
celved nt the hands of Lawrence Spiller,
A special grand jury had been empan
celled at the same time, and the wit.
nesses were shifted from the Coroner's
to the grand jury room, and within thirty
civ hours after the victim's death the ac
cused was in the toils of three juries,

TRIAL BEGUN.
After dinner the grand jury brought in
“a true bill” against Spiller, and a spe.
cial venire having been ordered by Judge
Chalkley at 4 o'clock, tne trial began in
the County Court,
Tre crime having been committed with.

by the Court, Colonel RR, 8. Turk and Mr,
James A. Glasgow, both able counsel, A
jury was readily obtained, and the pris.

It was a thrilling scene when the stal

passed, in going from and to the jail,
through a double column of soldiers,

o'clock to-night, but acceded to the re.
quest of the prisoner's counsel to delay

It i= not true that Sfiller has made a
confession, though some think he is
weakening, and a confession would not bx
pa surprise. The management of the whole
matter is generally commended here, The
trial will probably be ended by Thurs.
day. The visiting military will be Kept
for several days.
ALL: ON DUTY.
To-night all the companies are on duty.

THE COVERNOR ORDERS TROOPS.
The Call Made Upon Him by Sherif
Watts Companies Move Promptly.
The first information the Governor re
ceived about the Staunton trouble was in
the following telegram, which was de
livered to him at the Executive Mansion
at 9 o'clock Sunday night:
“STAUNTON, April 20, 18M,
“It is represented to me, and 1 believe
that there isMmmediate danger of a mob
and riot in Staunton, and an effort to
take from jail a prisoner confined therein
and hang him. 1 am unable with the
force at my command to protect him. I
have summoned the military companies
from Charlottesville and Harrisonburg to
parade in front of the Opera-House in
the city of Staunton forthwith, then and
there obey such orders to be given ace
cording to law. 1 hereby request that you
will immediately send orders by telegraph
to the companies named to proceed to
Staunton immediately.
“N. C. WATTS, Sheriff.”
The Governor immediately ordered Cap
tain Keller, of the Monticello Guard,
Charlottesville, and Captain Roller, of the
Harrisonburg company, 10 proceed to
Staunton with their commands, instruct
ing them at the same time to require the
railroads to furnish transportation.
It seems that in the mean time Sheriff
Watts had called out the Staunton com
pany and notified the Harrisonburg and
JMontice Jo companies to hold themselves
in readiness to move. Sunday night the
Governor received a telegram from the
captain of the Staunton company, saving
he had obeyed the summons of the Sheriff,
and yesterday morning the following dis
patch from Sheriff Watts reached the
Executive, showing that Captains Keller
and Roller lost no time in obeying orders:
“Phere were reasonable anticipations of
trouble last night in fearing an attempt
to rescue the supposed ravisher and mur
derer of a young girl, The grand jury
and inquest is now in session. The Har
riconburg Guards arrived at 11:40 last
night and the Monticello Guard at 1:30
A.M. to-day. All looks well Bar-rooms
closed. The action of the authorities was
sustained by the people”
The Lwmor Was Groundless,
A sensational rumor reached here last
night from two sources to the effect that
an attack had been made upon the Staun
ton jail and that a large number of per
sons had been killed, The report was
brought to the attention of Governol
Ferrall, who telerenphed to Sheriff
Watts at once, and at midnight received
the following in reply:
“Jury empanelled and prisoner ar
raigndd. jarge crowd in town to-day
very orderly; everything quiet to-night.
Jail guarded to-night by detachment of
West-Augusta Guards, Harrisonburg, and
Charlottesville comganies still here. Court
will assemble at 8:30 10-mMOrrow morning,
Will wire you further particulars tomor
row afternoon.”

ROCKY GAME OF BALL
The Untrained Colts from Lynchburg
Give a Yery Poor Exhibition,

He Was Batted All Over the Field and 48
Runs Were Plled Up—A Better Bat

EH HYYANIYY SYEMnEy VY yy mETTETY Te
and base-ball manlacs yesterday sat
through the roc'n st game of base-ball
ever played In these parts, or in fact in
any section of the country by professional
ball-players!
They were disgusted, ‘tis true, but they
sat through the afternoon until, on ae
count of darkness, the game was called
after the eighth inning, hoping against
hope that at least one good play might
be made to give them the worth of their
money. The score was 42 to 8 in favor of
the home club.
The Lynchburg team have not won a
single game sincey the League started,
but never have they been so ignomi
niously defeated as in yesterday's contest,
They simply went all to pieces, and from
start to finish played horribly. The
pitcher, the catcher, the Infield, and tlhe
outfield, one and all, played rank and
caused tears of disappointment as big as
water-buckets to well up in the eyes of
some of the deluded spectators who had
gone out to the park with the expectation
of seeing a decent exhibition.
MORE THAN EXPECTED.
Everybody thought Lynchburg would be
defeated, but no one entertained hopes of
such a victory for the home boys. The
visitors are wofully in need of players,
and several new ones have been signed
by them. Two of them arrived last night,
and will appear with the team this after
noon, This fact, coupled with the deter
mination on the part of the management
to put their strong battery—Glass and
McKenna—in the game, make them very
sanguine of guccess to-day,
It was evident throughout yesterday's
battle that some misunderstanding existed
among the visitors, and this was explained
last night by the manager of the club,
who stated that the fact that the entire
infield was to be released had reached
the ears of the players, and they had be
come careless,
THE ARMS WERE SORE.
Goetz, who pitched the first four in
nings for the visitors, did fairly good work.
His arm was sore and he was retired,
Morrison being substituted for him. He
did horrible work, and threw balls that a
child might hit with ease. In the next
inning the Lynchburg manager tried to
put Goetz back in the box, but in this
he was balked, the rules being such as to
bar any player who has been retired from
again participating in the game, There
was quite a discussion over this ruling,
which was only settled when a gentleman
geated in the grand-stand produced a book
of rules upholding the decision of the
umpire,
Four runs were made off Morrison's
horrible pitching in the fifth, five in the
sixth, and in the seventh seventeen were
scored, “It was, just like eating pie,” to
use the words of one of the players, to
hit him, and that the home boys availed
themselves of the opportunity was evils
denced by the hits—fourteen in number—
that were made in that inning. Several
of these were two-baggers, The game
started off by the Richmonds scoring five
runs and the Lynchburgs eight. The home
boys tied the score in the third, and the
probabilities were for a good, close, and
exciting struggle.
SCHUTZ DISPLAYED GRIT,
About the only feature of the game
other than the multiplicity of runs made
in the seventh inning, was the accident
which befell Schutz, of the Lynchburgs
and the grit and tenacity displayed by
him. He was at the bat in the first in:
ning, and was hit solidly on the head by
a swift ball, pitched by Warmsley. H:
fell like a log. Water was thrown in his
face, and he was revived, He sprang
his feet the moment he regained con
scionsness, and ran swiftly to first. Hi
stcod on the base for a few moments
and then keeled over in a dead faint
He remained unconscious for several mo
ments, and being again revived, he wa
urged to let some one else run his base
for him. This he refused to do, and hi
not only scored his run, but played
throughout the game,

The Lynchburgs made only eight runs
and these they made in the first inning
Darkness was swiftly drawing nigh wher
the eighth round was concluded, and Mr
O'Iourke, not caring to inflict any fur
ther punishment on the audience, calle
the game,

between the Stauntons and home boys
resulted in a defeat of the visitors. The
game was played with more vim than
any game that has been played here
this season, and was a spirited contest
from beginning to end. The game opened
with the home team at the bat, and they
retired without a run, the visitors being
retired in like manner. In the next in
ning the home team, on a single hit by
Hammond. Foreman, and Lang, a sacri
fice hit by Boucher, and a passed bali,
scored two runs, while the visitors were
retired in regular order. In the third in
ning Farrell knocked the ball over the
fence for a home run, and the visilors
scored their first run on an errcer by
Kelly, a hit by Setley, and an error by
Widgins, The home tem scored again
in the fifth, sixth, and seventh innings,
while the visitors were only able 0 add
“one run more to their score, and that ‘n
the eighth inning. The features cf the
game were the work of Kelley at short, the
batting of the home team, and the double
plays by Fultz and Clark, and Kelley,

ALMOST A MUTINY.
Coxey and Browns Spend the Night at
a Hotel.
THE COMMONWEAL INDIGNANT
Its Members Unprovided With Either
Shelter or Food—To- Day's March to
the Federal Capital.
WASHINGTON, April 30.—There was
almost a mutiny in the Commonweal
camp at Brightwood to-day. Coxey and
Browne registered at the National Hotel,
where they spent the night comfortably,
but the rank and file slept in the open
alr, or under such shelter as they
could find in the sheds and wagons in
the park, and this morning they were
stiff with cold, as well as hungry. Noth
ing had been provided for breakfast,
and they had nothing to eat until half
past one. There was a great deal of
growling and some threats, and some of
the men started out foraging on their
own hook. Men were begging from
door to door at private dwellings in
Washington this afternoon, representing
themselves to be members of Coxey's
command.
Early in the afternoon some provis
fons arrived from the city, and after
the men had been fed Browne arrived
with additional supplies. He explained that
the delay was due to the fact that he
and Coxey had trusted to “he local
Commonwealers to feed the men. “Wwe
were busy all day attending to other
matters,” he said, “trying to get a place
in town for you boys, so that you can
80 about the city and in the Capitol
“and wherever you please, We think you
will behave yourselves, As Shakspeare
gays: ‘All's well that ends well] and so,
as this has ended well, I hope there won't
be any more trouble, Pass the word
around to the boys, and tell them they
will get their meals regularly here
after.”
PROGRAMME FOR TO-DAY.
There was not a murmur of dissent,
and the proposed mutiny was dissipated,
Browne gave audience to the newspaper
men in his tent afterwards, and told them
that the army would iemain at Bright
wood Park to-night, and form the Ine
of march to the Capitol there to-morrow
morning.
“We don't know where we'll stay tn
morrow night,” he said, “perhaps wei
camp In the Capitol grounds. We ars
going to carry this thing through to the
end.”
The route from the camp to the city
has been changed. The parade will cose
in by the Fourteenth-Street road to Mt,
Pleasant, a suburb of the city, thence via
Fourteenth street proper to Pennsylvania
avenue, and to the Capitol grounds. Al
this point the body will turn into First
street, and then go up B street to Delia
ware avenue, northeast, which will place
them on the northeast border of the
grounds. Here it is proposed to disband
and enter as individuals, unless perm.s
sion is subsequently granted the army to
go in as a body.
CONTRIBUTIONS,
To evade a city ordinance, which im
poses a license-fee of per day upon
exhibitions charging admission fees, no
stated charge was made to the crowd that
visited Brightwood yesterday, but a lusty,
lunged Commonwealer stood at a table
at the entrance and announced vocife
rously that contributions were solicited,
In this way $70 was realized, and a
knowledge of this fact intensified the dis
g ‘sfaction at camp this morning agains!
Browne's desertion to the luxuries of the
city, whil® the men hungered,
The officials at the Capitol have beer
notiffed that Coxey proposes making i
speech from the east front of the build
ing to-morrow, and the latter has bcer
told that no speech-making will be al
lowed by himself or any of his followers
either in or out of the Capitol building
or within the grounds, and if he attempt:
to speak he will be arrested,

TREMENDOUS LANDSLIDE.
Six Square Miles of Territory Shifted—A
River's Course Changed.
QUEBEC, April 30.—About 8:30 o'clock
Friday night the inhabitants of the vil
lage of St. Albans, situated fifty miles
from here in Port Neuf, heard a territic
noise, resembling the roll of thunder in
the distance, The soll commencing to vi
brate, a panic ensued. The farmers ran
out of their dwellings to avoid being
buried under the ruins, as they believed
the ground was going to give way be
neath them. At the upper end of the
village, sume three miles from the parish
church, is a curve formed by the river
St. Anne, and close to the curve is a
water-fall 15 feet high. The ground
forming the right-hand side of the fall
gave way, burying a pulp-wood mill,
which was situated right underneath, and
blocking the course of the stream. The
stream, which was very rapid on account
of the melting snow, spread over the ad
joining farms and caused the undermined
embankment to slide into the river, filling
ft up. Several houses along the river
bank were carried into the river. One
of them was occupied by a family named
Gauthier, numgbering four persons, all of
whom perished. Smoke was seen to as
cend from under the ruing showing what
an awful death the occupants must have
met.



The ground which siid into the river
measured about six square miles, whole
farms being destroyed, with their stock
“and farm produce. The old bed of the St.
Anne river is now levelled and the river
runs miles from where it coursed before,
Three bridges were carried away ~namely,
the St. Albans, St. Cosimer, and ot. Anne
bridges.
PEOPLE TERROR-STRICKEN.
The people in the neighborhood of the
scene of the disaster are still terror
stricken. The oldest inhabitants of the
place never heard of such a thing be
fore, although several landslides have oc
curred in the neighborhood during the
last fifty years, The rush of water from
the Laurentian chain of mountains is
tremendous during the springtime, owing
to the melting snow, and it is thought
by scientific men that the ground had
been honey-combed by tha water, owing
to the fact that the lower strata of soil
formation are mostly of clay.
Large tracts of land with trees and vege
tation have been shifted without the
least disturbance, while in other places
the land was completely turned over.
The rooms and wharves of J. A. Hosseau
were carried away.
The St. Lawrence at Quebec 1s covered
with wreckage and the carcasses of anl
mals. Market boats were unable to come
down Sunday from adjacent parishes,
owing to the amount of wreckage float
ing on the stream. The losses are esti
mated at $500,000,
SENATOR STOCKBRIDGE DEAD.
His End Sudden, Though He Had Been
Confined to Bed Some Time.
CHICAGO, April 30.—Francis Browne
Stockbridge, United States Senator from
Michigan, died in this city at a few
minutes after 7 o'clock this evening. The
end came suddenly, although the Senator
had been confined to his bed almost the
whole time since coming to this city from
Washington, April 24. He died at the
residence of his nephew-in-law, James L.
'Houghtaling, Astor and Bank streets. His
wife and Mrs. Houghtaling, and the
trained nurse who gave warning of the
‘Senator's speedy dissolution to the family,
were present at the death-bed.
The Senator had been feeling better
during the day, and hoped to be able
to leave for Kalamazoo, his home, but
the physicians did not share the hope of
the dying man. While the family was at

The funeral services will be held In
Kalamazoo next Thursday at St. Luke's
Episcopal church, of which the Senator
had been a life-long member. The inter.
ment will also take place there, The two
sisters—Mrs. W. D. Houghtaling and Mrs,
Theodore T. Sheldon—are visiting at Ashe
ville, N. C. The Senator had been in poor
health for several years, and was on his
way to California, by order of his physi
cian, when taken lll here.
THE MANASSAS ROAD CHARTER.
Conditions Under Which It Becomes
Operative—The Forfeit.
Operative—-The Forfeit.
The Fairfax Herald asks the Dispatch
to tell it whether “the $100,000 forfeit that
the projectors of the Manassas and Rich
mond railroad charter agreed to put up
has been deposited with the State Trea
surer."”
Continuing, the Herald says: “The im
pression among the people at the time
the bill was before the Legislature was
that such a forfeit would be required be
fore the bill would become operative.
Perhaps there was a string attached to
the forfeit-clause that was not apparent
to the casual observer at the time the
matter was under discussion.”
80 mueh of the act incorporating the
Manassas and Richmond road as pre
scribes under what conditions the char
ter shall become operative ‘znd relates to
the forfeit reads as follows:
Section 9. This act shall be inoperative
and shall be without force or effect =o
long as the State of Virginia shall own
“any stock or dividend obligation of the
Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac
Raflroad Company.
Section 10. The construction of the said
road shall be commenced within one year
from the date which the State of Virginia
ceases to be the owner of any stock or
dividend obligations of the Richmond
Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad
Company, and shall be completed within
five years from such date; provided, fur
ther, that in no event shall the beginning
of the construction of said road be post
poned longer than January 1, 18%,
Section 11. This act shall be void and
of no effect unless the Manassas and
Richmond Railroad Company shall de
posit with the Commissioners of the Sink
ing fund, within the period of one hundred
and twenty days from the passage of
this act, the sum of $100,000 of Virginia
State bonds issued under act approved
February 20, 15892,

Section 12. The aforesaid bonds, when
so deposited, shall be and become the
property of the State of Vir
ginia, unless work Is commenced
upon the railroad within the pe
riol prescribed in its charter, and also
if and in the event that not less than
twenty mii of grading northwardly from
Richmond Be properly completed within
twelve months from the date of sald com
mencement of the work, the Board of
Public Works being hereby authorized to
determine if and when said twenty miles
of grading northwardly from Richmond
shall have been properly completed,”
Second-Auditor Ryland sald yesterday
that there has been no deposit of bonds
with the Commissioners of the Sinking
Fund, and they have not advertised the
State's interest in the Richmond, Frede
ricksburg and Potomac railroad, because
they do not wish to incur that expense
until they had had some intimation that
the road would be built,
