The .Paris oorresponJent of the'
New York Tim es suggests a theory
that Gen. Gordon -was. killed earliejr
than reported. - He thinks the last
several dispatches sent to Wolseley
were . Arab forgeries' and "were in
tended to lead, to destruction the
guileless Wolseley." He says: -
"How the British -authorities could have
accepted the letters of the 9th of September
and the- 14-th of November as -bona . fide
documents is astonishing.; "If the signature
to the first be authentic, the wording of the
missive is vague and hich flown, evidentlv
the composition of an Arab. That of the
wth or November neither bears Gordon's
signature nor his seal, and is In direct con
tradiction with the one by which it was pre
ceded. . But its form proves that it was the
work of jrEarbpean fabricated in the Mah
di's camp by some one familiar "with the
English language. . ' ; And the famous
dispatch of the 14th of December. 1884:
.'Khartoum all right 1' written on a piece of
paper no bigger than a postage stamp, of
which Wolseley guarantees the authentici
ty, and which was -brought by a messenger
whose oral statements of the situation were
hot in harmony with the ostensible tenor of
the written message ? ' And the fac simile
of that little bit of paper brought to the
British camp at Korti on the 11th jjf Janu
ary, of which the bearer must have been an
impostor, as he represented the situatiou at
Khartoum to be excellent, provisions abun
dant, and the health and morale of the gar
rison most satisfactory'
The Richmond special to the New
York World, dated the 23d, says the.
parties to the Richmond tragedy are
of famous ancestry. " It says:
"T. J. Cluverius. the vounir lawver in
jail charged with the murder of Miss Fanny
Lillian Madison, is a grand nephew of
iresiaent Tyler and a relauve or Samuel B.
Witt, the Commonwealth Attorney of this
city. The girl, ft will be remembered, was
of the family of President Madison. Mr.
Witt to-night decided not to act as prose-
cutor in the case and is probable that Con-
gressman George D. Wise will represent the
commonwealth when the case came up for

The war cloud thickens. England
and Russia are preparing for the
death struggle. Rumors of an alli

was witnesed last night, a dance and a
prayer meeting, both by colored people,
being divided from each other by only a
flimsy wooden partition. The far
mers tell us that the crop of spring oats is
a dead failure. A lawsuit of rather an
unsual character was beard before Esquire

against David for 92 cents on the chips and

A Dndlah Tramp.
Citizens living in the eastern section of
the city are, frequently called upon by
tramps for something to eat One of these
gentry, wearing kid 'gloves and a gold pin
in his cravat, with a reversible overcoat on
his back, entered the premises of a gentle
man through his back gate, a few days
ago, and went to the kitchen for something
to eat. Of course, entering private premises
in this way is calculated to frighten women
and children, who are likely to be alone in
the day time, and it is hoped that a watch
may be kept on such intruders.
All Right Again.
Our Baptist friends will be glad to learn
that Rev. R. W. Sanders has got into his
new church at Chester, S. C. . The old
building was destroyed by the cyclone of
February, 1884., The building is of brick,
and is of Gothic architecture, the interior
being so arranged that the main auditory
and the lecture room can be thrown into
one room, thus increasing the seating ca
pacity. The first services were held in the
new building.? last Sunday.- Rev. Mr.
Sanders, who preached here several Sun
days in 1883, is pleasantly remembered by
all who heard him.
