Hanged.
Petersburg, Va., December 19.—
Frank Baker, negro murderer, of Sussex
county, was executed at tlie county court
house to-day for the perpetration of the
greatest crime known to the law. By
direction of tlie court the gallows was
erected near the jail, enclosed by a high
board fence, to hide the hanging from tlie
public view, and but few persons were ad
mitted into the enclosure. At noon the
doomed man was led from the cell to the
gallows, where lie met death with perfect
indifference, and died apparently without
a straggle.
The crime for which Baker was execu
ted was one of the most brutal and fiend
ish ever known in this section of Virginia,
and was committed the first night in
August of the present year, at the house
of James Rose, (colored), the former liv
ing two miles from Stony Creek Station
of Petersburg and Weldon railroad. The
particulars of the murder are these: A
lew weeks previous to the tragedy,
James Rose and his wife had a bitter
J uarrel and Rose thrive his wife away
rom his house. She carried with her a
little son seven years, a son by Rose,
and took up her sesidence with
Frank Baker, her son by a former hus
band, one mile distant. Her anger was
naturally aroused by the treatment she
received at tlie hands of her husband, and
was shared by Baker. This feeling in
creased by the knowledge of tlie fact that
R<K0 had taken to his house a young
woman named Henrietta Shands; who
had an infant named Agnes Shands, about
one month of age. On the first of August,
James Rose came to Petersburg to make
purchases, during which time the munler
was committed at his house. The details
of the murder, as related by Mr. Rose’s
son. who was compelled to witness the
horrible crime was this. He said his
mother, Maria Bose and .his half brother,
Frank Baker, went to the house of James
Bose the night above mentioned, carrying
him with them. Arriving at the house,
Henrietta Shands was seen in her room
through a crack in the door. Through
the crack Baker fired twice at her, but
the shots did not take effect. The door
was broken open and Baker rushed in,
followed by his mother. Baker seized the
frightened woman, threw her to the floor
and there held her securely while Maria
Rose, who was armed with a heavy piece
of iron, beat her violently over
the head and face. The beating
continued until die supposed Henrietta
Shands was dead, and the body then
dragged out into the yard, when some
on'the'head was^renewed until life became
extinct. The body was then thrown into
the mill pond. Baker then went into the
bouse, seized the innocent child and
brought it out doors. Tlte child was
thrown in the hollow of an old stump,
and literally buried alive. Dirt was
thrown upon the child, rammed down
upon the body, and chopped through with
a spade. Baker and Maria Rose were
snbsequently arrested and lodged in the
county Jail, and on the 7th day of August
were indicted for the murder by the grand
juiy- '
As was their privilege under the law,
they elected to be tried in the Circuit
Court. Baker in the meantime made a
full voluntary confession of his guilt, and
in his confession he declared his mother
innocent. It should here be stated that
Baker, was indicted for the murder of the
child and Maria Rose indicted for the
murder of the woman. The murder at
the time caused great excitement among
the negroes of the neighborhood. The
Circuit Court of Sussex county convened
on the first day of November, Hon. S. S.
Wessiger presiding." Baker was convicted
on his confession and as soon as the ver
dict of the jury was rendered Judge 'Wes
siger passed the sentence of death, Decem
ber 19 being fixed as the day of execution.
When the sentence was passed Baker ap
peared perfectly unmoved and indifferent.

with the killing and also carrying con
cealed weapons.
The Soph- and his Waking Dreams.
by X. I. E.
It takes capital to start a college, hut the
soph, is a self-made man without capital.
Being a self-made man, he is a cross be
tween the “Fresh.” and “Junior,” mid
marked by the distinguishing vices of both
Still we admire the Soph.', from the reck
less slaut of his hat, to the careless grasp
with which he imprisons Ills flabby yet
distinguished cigarette. There is a man-
of-the-world, Sir Charles Grandison air in
his movements, perfectly enchanting. He
views life through rose-tinted glasses, and
moves strictly in a world of his own crea
tion. In no stage of his existence does a
man live as near the original plan of
earthly happiness, as when he recites
with tile Sophs. Bad lessons and damag
ing reports are to him less than the shad
ows of passing clouds, and a sunburst
through scattering figments of vapor, is
darkness, compared with the glory winch
surrounds him, when he stands
upon the comer, and with critical
eye scans the habiliments of passing
maidens. He knows a great deal better
than we do, that he will bear off the first
honor, and in the temple of Fame be
crowned with the laurel wreath. Know
ing this, life is to him a thing of beauty.
Tlie fact that several Sophs have been
Presidents of these U. S., establishes
clearly in ins mind that none hut Sophs—
political combinations not preventing—can
ever again fill the place, and he looks for
ward to the day, when, “Greece, her knee
in supphanee bent, shall ter-r-r-emble at
liis power.”
I would rather be a Soph, standing on
Yolgeris corner with a crumpled piece of
cigarette paper in hand, and in the act of
saying, “Robinson, haul out yer terbac-
cer,” than drum-major of a band of ninety
pieces. The pay might not be as much,
but more eyes would be fixed on me and
I would mash more girls, and that is true
glory.
I knew a Soph, once whose total worldly
possessions were encased in a valise, in an
8x10 room on the fifth floor, and whose
“governor” had ready for him a talented
plow, with a Georgia mule attachment, as
soon as he should have learned enough
geometry to plow straight, yet this same
Soph, would pull liis Hyperion locks care
lessly over his Calhoun brow, and, with
his feet elevated on a line with liis
eyes, blow clouds of smoke into
old nature’s face, while he dreamed
of glory. And such dreams! He was
a reckless sort of chap was this
Soph.; utterly, in liis mind’s eye, regard
less of life. He had been cut up more,
shot oftener, had performed more miracu
lous feats of strength and exhibited more
heroic courage than any man since Ad
am’s time. Strange to say, his “girl,”
who, in college dialect, had gone hack on
him, was always present when he was
mangled. That was the chief glory in be
ing mangled. Sometimes it would be a
frantic horse madly dragging a buggy in
which she sat, the crowdgives way in hor
ror, and none are brave enough to rescue
the imperiled maiden. None"? Only one.
He springs forward, grasps the trailing
lines with one hand, the wheel with the
other, and, though dragged a quarter of a
mile, succeeds in stopping the infuriated
animal: he has just time to stagger across
the road and to hear her scream, “My
God, is he hurt?” when he faints, only to
revive as the grateful father rushes up and
offers him a home in the family.
Or a house is burning. A maiden is at
the window. The terrified crowd staggers
back—there is always a crowd to view the
scene and to stagger back. A lithe form
goes up tho lightning rod: see he grasps
the window sill—he is in. The crowd
breathes hard. Are both lost? No. He
appears amid the smoke with blankets
and sheets tied together. He has her in
his arms. He is coming down; slowly it
is true, but ho is coming. Angry flames
surround him. His clothing is on fire.
His hands are blistered, everything is gone
bat liis moustache—in his wildest dream
he never lets that perish. Eager hands
uprise to meet them. Hurrah! Hurrah!!
Hurrah!!! and the mighty crowd bursts
into an applause that echoes among the
startled hills. But the brave rescuer is
terribly injured; the deed was done at a
terrible cost; still, beneath her ministry he
recovers. He always recovers and—the
girl is his.
This is the burden of his dreams, the
rescued maiden with variations to suit
circumstances. I am not bettmg as much
as I was, but I have everything up on the
wager that more than three hundred maid
ens are annually rescued by our Sophs.
But Commencement Day! How shall
I encompass the subject! ’it rises before
me like an impossible dream. ’ The mel
low gaslight; the stately President; the
smiling Faculty; the monograms and flow
ers, and the breathless audience. The
last notes of “Life on the Ocean Wave”
have just forsaken the horns to hurry out
into the night, when, behold, he cometh!
—the Soph. -Four society badges flash
bad: the mellow light from his breast,
and upon that Calhoun brow the Hyperi
on lock is plastered into submissive adorn
ment. For one brief moment his form
is shut up like a jack-knife; the next it is
unfolded in solemn grandeur. He plants
one foot before him, casts his good eye
towards heaven, and with his right hand
extended in the attitude that accompanies
the benediction, exclaims in a thrilling
whisper:
-There had been a day of triumph in
Capua”
But words fail me. Language is bank
rupt, and even imagination will honor no
more drafts. The pen may be mightier
than the sword, but there are subjects
migbiter than the pen, and this is one of
them.

A Wall street telegram of the 16th to
the Baltimore Sun says:
Telegrams are pouring in from the South
reganling the cotton position, and well
they may, as there has been a fall this
day week of one hundred and sixty to one
hundred and seventy points. Many weak
bulls have been slaughtered in the heavy
drop, hut there have been no failures, and
when Januaiys broke this forenoon to
12-16, acainst 13-S0 ou the 9th, there was
a decided disposition to go in for an up
ward turn- The question of the hour is
what caused the fall? Simply the selling
out of the more prominent bulls, who
pocketed a profit of one to two cents per
pound, and went short at the same time
in both the New York and Liverpool mar
kets.
