^ THE VIRGINIA DEMOCRACY.
General Fitznngh Lee Nominated for Gov
eraor?The Party EnthusIaaMc, and Kent
on Vieiory.
The Virginia Democratic .State Convention
met at Richmond on the 29tii
u)t., the sessions being held in the
Richmond Theatre. Full representations
t'rom all sections were present.
It is said on all sides that (lie personnel
of the Conventionis superior to that of
anv of late years.
i\. itn uiiiiuivd aiLv;i i ? w cnswrv CA.IV,
Hon. Jno. S. Barbour, chairman of
the State committee, appeared on the
stage and, after an enthusiastic greeting,
called the Convention to orderIn
his remarks he alluded in complimentary
terms to President Cleveland
and his administration of Federal
affairs. He spoke encouragingly of
the prospects of success of the Democratic
party of the State in tiie present
campaign, and concluded by urging
harmony and united action. He then
named Capt. Robert Crockett, of
Wythe county, as temporary chairman.
That gentleman, upon taking
the chair, returned thanks for the high
honor conferred on him. He said that
the Convention had assembled to per
lonn unties wnicn- required no onunary
labor, but he believe'! they were
equal to any emergency and to defeat
the enemy in the campaign. The campaign
would require wisdom and
labor. Their opponents were alreadv
at work, and it behooved the Democrats
to be on the alert and be ready
at every point to meet them.
The committee on permanent organization
afterwards reported, naming
the Hon. H. 11. Pollard, of King and
^ueeu county, as permanent cnainnau,
with one irice-president from each
Congressional district and John Bell
Bigger, of Spotsylvania, as permanent
secretary. * The report was unanimously
adopted. Pollard upon taking
the chair made a stirring address, in
which he severely denounced the liepublican
party and thG influence of
Mahoneism iu the State, and counseled
earnest co-operation on the part of
the Democracy in the coining cain
paigu. The report of the committee
nn nWlont.inls w:is rivnspnted and
adopted. A motion that the Convention
proceed to make a nomination
for Governor was adopted almost
unanimously.
The ('hair then announced that
nominations for Governor were in
order. Several motions looking to a
delay of proceedings were successively
voted down, evidently showing a
determination on the part of the Convention
to push its w*ork as rapidly as
possible.
The Hon. Holmes Conrad, of Frederick,
took the stage and proceeded to
nominate General Fitzhug'n Lee for
Governor. His sneech was an clo
quent tribute to bis candidate and embodied
a striking- contrast between
Lee as a man of the highest attributes
and "Mahone's candidate." His re
remarks were frequently interrupted
with rapturous applause.
Other notniuations were made, as
follows: Capt. Philip \V. McKinney,
of rnncc -Edward; Hon. oonn j&.
Massev, of Albemarle; and Major
Baker P. Lee, of Elizabeth City.
All the nominations were appropriately
seconded.
The roll call was then proceeded
with amid considerable excitement.
As each county's vote was announced
the friends of the candidate for whom
it was thrown received it with more or
less -applause.! Whefi the call was
concluded Gen. Lee had received over
three hundred and fifty votes. But
before the vote was announced Caro
line county changed her eight votes
(which had" been cast as a compliment
to Gen. W. H. Payne) to Gen. Lee.
This movement was followed by several
other changes, and when it was
evident that Gen. Lee had a number of
votes more than was necessary to a
choice (366) Mr. Fitzgerald rose and
on behalf of Capt. McKinney moved
to make Gen. Lee's nomination unanimous,
which was carried amidst the
?*" . wildest enthusiasm, delegates standing
on their seats, waving hats, fans and
h.-mrttprrhipfs and shouting- themselves
hoarse. This lasted sevval minutes,
after which a committee was appointed
to wait on Gen. Lee and invite him to
the stage. In a few minutes the committee
returned with Gen. Lee. When
he.stepped to the footligh's another
grand demonstration of delight occurred
and the band played '-Hail to
the Chief." When order was restored
Gen. Lee acknowledged the high honor
in most 'fitting language. He spoke
kviriflTT t\f hie onflv mililfirv mirppi'
when bo wore the uniform of the
United States and served in the army,
and when his State had called for his
services he had felt it his duty to his
mother to respond to h(>r call*. Once
again Virginia called him to aid in
ridding her of an enemy, and ho cheerfully
answered and accepted the trust
reposed in him to be her standardbearer
-in the coming political campaign.
The "Republican party, h?
said, had but recently nominated' candidates
for Governor, Lientenaui-Governor
and Attorney-Genera!, and had
put them on a platform which had
-been justly characterized as being a
mass of falsehood and exaggeration.
It was against this platform that lie
would go out to make u manly and
earnest light.
The Convention then adjourned, till
Thursday morning.
The Convention reassembled on
Thursday morning.
The Hon. John E. Massey and ('apt.
Phil. McKinney were invited to address
the Convention, and responded
in stirring addresses.
The Hon. John E. Massey was unana
? * ? i (a/-) T mn
iiUiiiiuuiiAi ivi ijituauainGovernor,
and Kufus A. A\ers, of
Scott county, for attorney-general.
A resolution was adopted by a. rising
vote, expressing sorrow at tho death
of Gen. U. S. Grant and gratification
at the thought that he in trying hours
bore himself towards the people of the
South with such magnanimity and
good faith as can never be forgotten,
and tendering sincere sympathy to his
bereaved family.
?\ * The platform was then read and
Y adopted ?>y a unanimous vote. The
reading of the platform was frequently
I interrupted byapplause. The Hon.
John S. Barbour was unanimously reelected
chairman of the Slate and executive.
-committee. - Speeches were
then made by Mr. Avers, the newly
chosen candidate for attorney-general,
Gen. Jas. A. "Walker* and the Hon.
John W. Daniels, after which the
Convention, at 3.30 p. m., adjourned

Hudson Hirer, and is the highest j
poin in Manhattanville. The outward j
swell ot the promontory begins at 122d ,

The funeral in New York will be a
very solemn and imposing affair. The ,

A LITTLE BLACK CLOUD.
How it Sent a Fatal Bolt of Lijfhtninjc?A
Boy Killed and Several People Stunned. I
(From, the Charlotte Observer.)
At one o'clock Sunday afternoon, :
while the sun was shining brightly in 1
the skies, a small but intensely dark
cloud came up frotn the western hori- 1
zon and moved directly over the city. 1
The air was sultry and oppressive, and '
those who noticed the cloud saw that '
it came up rapidly. Slight flashes of
lightning darted from it at quick inter- !
vals until they were suddenly succeeded
by a flash of great vividness, and a
simultaneous clap of thunder, making
a peal that was heard thaoughout the
city. At the time the flash came,
Price (Joker, a colored by 18 years of .
age, was walking along Poplar sireet 1
between Second and Third streets, in j
the vicinity of the jail. He was walk
lug in a southerly direction, our. inline- ;
diatelv following the thunder clay lie
turned -completely round, threw up !
his hands and fell heavily backward to
the pavement. Mr. Bob Jamison was J
standing in the street within twenty
feet of (Joker, but strange to say, he '
was not shocked. lie hastened to the
side of the prostrate boy and found 1
him quite dead. There was a lain*
tremor in his fingers, but this was the 1
only movement that could be observed. J
Mr. Jamison states that as Coker fell,
a faint, but very distinct light of an
intensely blueish tinge flashed from
his body,but an examination of I he body !
failed to reveal any marks whatever. '
Coker was on his way to Sunday school 1
and was in the act of passing by a small '
shade tree. The bolt parted in fork 1
fashion just over his head, one striking '
the tree, and the other striking Coker. '
Though the fluid left no mark on ]
(Joker, it left scarcely any on the tree. <
The bark was slightly blazed in one
place, from which the lightning seemed '
to jump into the ground at the root of
the tree. 1
The shock was quite peculiar in
some of its results. Mr. Sam Xeisler 1
was within a few feet of (Joker, but '
like Mr. Jamison, was, not shocked. '
Some distance away, Mrs. Frank Har- !
rison was seated in a chair on her front <
porch and was very stunned, the con- '
cussion throwing her from her chair. \
It was believed for a time that she, too '
had been killed, but under the alien- '
lion ot a physician she slowly revived. 1
Yesterday morning- she was reported
in an improved condition and out of
danger. A daughter of Mr. Bob Jamison
was sitting on the front porch of
her father's residence, quite near the ;
> .1 ? t )
scene, anu was snrowii iruiu nur
chair by the shock, but was not mneh
injured. Mrs. Joe Orr was looking !
into the street from her residence and ;
saw the.flesh as it struck Coker. She '
says it looked as if a ball of fire had 1
descended upon the unfortunate boy !
with an incredible rapidity. Mrs. Orr 1
was slightly stunned, and a number of \
other residents of the vicinity were 1
mere or less shaken up. The occur- 1
rencc was a matter of general topic 1
among the colored people and during '
the afternoon (Jokers body was viewed 1
by hundreds. j
Rheumatism. 1
Although a practitioner of near twenty
vears, my mother influenced me to procure
jB. B. B. for her. She had been confined to
her bed several months with Rheumatism
which had stubbornly resisted all the usual
remedies. Within twenty-four hours after
commencing B. B. 15. I observed marked
relief. She has iu?t commenced her third
bottle and is nearly as active as ever, and
has been in the front yard with "rake in
hand," cleaning up. l'ler improvement is
trulv iconderful and immensely gratifying. ,

like threatening The President. This !
it was not desirable to do. The oppo- ;
sition would quickly develop. It would ]
extend to both houses?in lact, be the 1
more serious in the lower house. To ;
adopt his own wanner of putting the 3

along all summer by snubbing Con- 1
irressmeu; Congress will snub the
administration." i
1'Wliof r>rvc.ifinn \fi? fTmirlriflrS I
occupy in this movement?"
' I am not at liberty to speak for Mr. !
Hendricks. He is in activc sympathy :
with the Democratic party. On x>oliti- <
c;ai questions there never was any
doubt about Mr. Hendricks. He is i
not a mngwump, nor is there anything
in his character or record to indicate
that tie wili be swerved from party
fealty by smiles or from the White
House. Mr. Cleveland does not represent
the Democratic party. Mr. ;
Hendricks does. If a popular vote
were taken to-day, Mr. Hendricks
against Mr. Cleveland, the latter
wouldn't carry a corpcrafs guard."
Western Democratic Congressmen,
as a rule, speak very gloomily of the
future of the party. Some of them
swear revenge for real or fancied
slights growing out of the distribution
of the offices. The "offensive partisan"
policy meets with the most general
opposition and disgust. It is safe to
assume on all the evidence to be gathered
here that not less than fom-fifths
of the old line Democrats consider it a
mistake to require charges for the re*
inoval of a Republican officer-holder.
All this is to eomc up this winter and

is more threatening as we get along
and to which some think the Indianapolis
matter is to be a lively introduction.
A FATAL DISEASE.
Sweephj; off Large Numbers of Cattle and
Horses in Louisiana.
A New Orleans dispatch says: From
the Teche country, in Western Louisiana,
reports are received of the terrible
state of affairs prevailing in the
sections infected by the cattle plague.
A trustworthy citizen heurd of one
place where there arc over fifty car
casscs decomposing In about twentyfivc
acrcs. The stench at night is reported
as being intolerable. The
police jury have taken steps to destroy
these carcasses. Oil has been bought
for the purpose. It is said that two
gallons of oil judiciously used will
consumc a carcass. A serious difficulty
in the way is to get parties to execute
the work. A large hardware
dealer said that he had sold a number i
of gimlets to people from the country, j
Upon inquiry he learned that they j
were used for boring holes through the j
skulls of sick horses to let, as they expressed
it, the bad water off the brain.
A large stock raiser lost a very valuable
blooded mare.
The afflicted animals manifest the
symptoms of blind staggers and die
very shortly after taking' the malady.
Colts and calves arc just as liable to
take the disease as older stock. The
number of carcasses on the prairie is
too numerous to admit, of burying.
Mr. Joseph Jefferson lost a fine breed
stallion this week. He proposes to
dispose of all carcasses in his pastures :
by burning them, and has purchased a !
in.infitv of oil and tar for the mirnose. ! i
A plague so general and fatal wis i
never before known in this section.

SEVEN TAKEN OUT DEAD.
A. Cow on the Air Line Railroad Causes a
Heavy Loss of Life.
(From the Charlotte Observer.)
News of a terrible accident which
occurred on the Atlanta Division of
the Air Line Railroad, Monday evening,
caused considerable excitement on
the streets until it was learned that
the wrecked train carried no Charlotte
people. It was a construction train,
known as "material No. 1," and befft
tho nf thft rna/} uprf-. fr>
Atlanta. In the wreck seven colored
men were killed outright and three
others injured so badly that their recovery
is not hoped for. The accident
occurred with:n 30 miles of Atlanta,
near a station known as Snwanee. A
single flat car loaded with railroad ]
iron was being pushed towards Charlotte,
the engine being behind. On
the flat load '.ails there were alteen
colored railroad hands. The flat with
its load was being pushed up the road
lo points where new rails were to be
laid and the engine was propelling it
at a rate not exceeding miles an
hour. While goingalong at this speed
the engine and flat entered^a deep cut,
at the mouth of which is a road crossing.
Just before the flat reached thii
crossing, several cows jumped across
the rails in safety, but" another cow
that had remained behind attempted
to cross just as the flat mbved up. The
cuw was uirowu uiiusi iue wuecis, nit:
flat car carened and most of the men
leaped into the ditch. As they did so,
the car fell over on them, and its load
of iron rails crushed them into the
earth. Five of the men clun^ to the
car as it turned over and they escaped
unhurt. These, with the assitance of
the engineer and firemen, set to
work at once to rescue their comrades
for under the wreck were three men
from whom life had not fled, and they
groaned piteously. When the over
turned car was at length removed, a
shocking sight was revealed. The
iron rails had mangled the men horribly,
and several limbs aad mutilated
trunks were found mingled in confusion
among the rails. Three men were
rescued alive, one of them with both
legs badly crushed, and the two others
terribly wounded. Seven dead and
mangled bodies were taken ont from
amoncr the rails and laid on the ground
in a liue near the track and tHen the
engine went back to Snwanee for
assistance. The dead and wounded
were afterwards taken to Snwanee,
where tne dead were placed in coffins
and the wounded sent to an improvised
hospital. Two of the wounded are
beyond all hope of recovery. The
unfortunate negroes all lived along
the road in Georgia. No one connected
with the train was in the least to
biame for the accident.
RAINING BOCKS.
A Phenomenon Which is Puzzlluc the People
of Lancaster.
(brom the Lancaster Ledger.)
The rumbling sounds in the earth
and the rising of hot steam from
crevices in the earth over in Chester
and Fairfield counties about a year ago
will not compare to the rain of rocks
which is now creating such a sensation
in this county. In tenant houses on
the plantation of Mr. R. T. Dunlap,
about six miles from town, lives Quarter
lleese and Reese Posey. They are
quiet, good negroes, and have never,
so far as known, done anything to I
provoke the Almighty's wrath or the
wrath of their neighbors; but, nevertheless,
the very rocks of the earth
seem to rise up to fail on them and
houses. This wonderful phenomenon
of rocks falling has been going on in
that locality at intervals for more than
ten days, and people from five, ten and
fifteen miles around gather there to
witness it. The rocks are flint and
vary from the size of an egg to the
Bize of one's head. A peculiarity about
them is that they have fallen on several
persons without giving any hurt or
rviin to them. Numbers of white men
who have hooted at the idea have
visited the place and come away convinced
that the rocks do fall. At first
the negroes thought it was somebody
rocking their houses and would run to
a ihickct near by, but I bey could see
no one. At last they concluded to put
out sentinel?, but finding the rocks
dropped all the same, they reported it
to people in the neighborhood, and
now most any time you go to the place
you can find a large crowd of negroes
and a few whites gathered to see the
rocks fall. A number of gentlemen of
our town rode out to witness the phenomenon.
They found about thirty or
forty negroes assembled near the
house, wonder-stricken at what they
had seen. They were not there long
before a sound on the shingles notified
them that a rock had fallen. It was
picked up and found to be quite hot.
It resembled flint and had something on
it which resembled soot. The people
marveled much. A very honest look
iiig old darkey told the parly that be 1
saw a rock rise up from near a peach :
tree and go straight up in the air, so
they must go up and fall down. Thev
are taken away by visitors about as
fast as they fall. The negroes get them
and will not. part with them. The
matter should be investigated.
