A fearful atom of wind and rain nwept
11th
The oate of Thomaa J. Cluverian, oon
visted of the murder of Fatmie Lillian I over Kanwan City, Miamnri, on the
Hadison, haa attracted widespread atten
tion. As the facta of the case may hare
passed oat of recollection, a brief state
ment may now be proper. On the 18th
March, 188ft, at 8 o’clock, a. m., Min
Fannie Lillian Madison arrived in Bioh-
mond from Bath county and went to the
American Hotel, where she registered as
"MiaaF. L. Merton.” Next morning
her dead body was foond in the old city
reaervoir, a short distance west of Holly
wood cemetery. On the 18th, near
Little Plymouth, in the county of King
and Queen, her first oonsin, T. J. Cluve-
rius (Kla-veers), was arrested, charged
with the murder of the deceased. He
waived an examination before the Police
Justice, was indicted in April, and was
brought to trial in the Hustings Court of
Richmond at the May term. On the 4th
day of June the jury returned a verdict
of “guilty."
The case wait to the Court of Appeals,
the decision of which was adverse to the
prisoner—as already published.
The Richmond papers give some addi
tional particulars of the result of the
case in the Court of Appeals. The judg
ment of the lower court is sustained in
all particulars. Little or no surprise
was manifested at the decision; in fact,
public opinion had been very well settled
upon the presumption that no new hear
ing would be granted. For over a week
the air has been full of rumors that the
court stood four to one against a new
trial, and that two of the four disagreed
only as to the certain jiarticulars, and
for once rumor was correct. How these
facts leaked out is not known, or wheth
er it was only one of the lucky surmises
of those who are supposed to know
everything. After the reading of the
opinion of the court, as express**!, had
been arrived at after a very jatient and
searching review of all the facts as set
forth at the time of the trial, and was
supported by copious quotations and
references to the most learned and com
petent authorities. Thus is ended anoth
er act in the great tragedy which shocked
a continent and for a time made Rich
mond nnenviably famous.
' Cluverius knew what the decision of
the court would be at least one hour lx
fore Judge Fauntleroy finish**! reading
the opinion. 'Die first few pages that
were read indicated a decision unfavora
ble to the prisoner, and shout half {last
12 o'clock Mr. McOaorge, s fe«*i dealer,
doing business ia Richmond, left the
court room ami went down to the jail.
It was he who told Cluverius how the
Case would be decided, but it was after
two o’clock before the prisoner was
aware that tAe tinpreme Court had sus
tained the decaaion of the lower court on
every point that was raised by the pria
oner's eonnsel.
When the action of the court was
mads known to him he never trembled
or moved a muscle, except perhaps a little
twitching of the facial muscles, and this
•oon passed away, giving place to that
aUfjintns and self-control which has ex
cited so much wonder, and has been a
puxxle to so many. When he heard the
words, "The decision is unfavoraltle to
you,” he raised his eyes, which had
been faring at the floor, and, in a clear
voice, said, “I am surprised.” Here he
paused, and the silcnoe seemed as pain
ful to those who saw the prisoner as it
waa u^tiis prisoner himself. Presently
ha qualified las remarks, and in a voice
more trembling than at any time hereto
fore, W remark«J, “I had hoped for
baltar results.”
Bcctiaant Lee subsequently said “Mr.
Ctuvelfaa, I will now have to pat you in
solitary confinement. Your treatment
hereafter must be somewhat different
from what it has been, and it is my duty
to have you put in solitary confinement
and a guard placed at your oelL”
dnvarina looked up at Sergeant Lee
and replied: “Sergeant, 1 make no ob-
jaetioa. I have triad not to give trouble
to anyone in this jail and I will continue
not to do so.”
The only hone now left to the prisoner
is executive clemencv, for unless the
Governor interferes, Cluverius will pay
the penalty of his crime upon the scaf
fold.
The action of the tjupremo Court will
doubtless be certified the Hustings
Court before the June term, and when
that is done the prisoner will be brought
up to be resentenced.

Every housekeeper knows how careful

know or remember that groat care of
their own little possessions will often
enable them to dress nicely on very little
money. A kdy says:
<<Wh^ Lwas a girl there was one of
my yotmgjMends who was distinguished
for‘mainQs her things last’ Her dress,
hats, gloves and ribbons were a marvel
of durability. I used to wonder how
she managed to make them last so with
out their looking shabby, but I ceased
to do so after I had visited her at her
own homfc. The reason why her clothes
wore so long was that she took such good

folded away carefully, and the
spot on them was removed as

David, the son of Jesse, has awakened
for Israel a Redeemer—namely, Jesus,
