Dr. Felton let the Herald publish the facts. Our Democratic friends, the open and avowed enenues of all honest methods in politics, are terribly si ;■ ken up over the nomination of Dr. 1 elton for Congress by Populists of this district.

Grigg was arrested and would undoubtedly have been lynched by the enraged people had it not been for Captain Phil Brown Uyo proprietor of the hotel. The trouble arose from the fact that for some time several of the waiters have bsen guilty of inde cent conduct in the presence of Mrs Te ry, who has charge of the dairy. The matter was reported to C-pt Brown, who Jadvised that nothing should be done, en i wirned '.he negroes to Tp-ipi ir<nn such con dec’, i’be ollensH whs repealed, however and a crowd wont t<< the negroe s house tor th'e purpo-e <>f taking him out au-l. thrash Kg' him. Overstreet opened tin | 'oor leading into the room occupied by Gxiggs and asked him t > come out, as they wanted to see him. Griggs turned over in bed and fired nt Mr. Ove>- street, the bullet striking him in the abdomen and lodging in his liver, Overstreet promptly returned tl.e fire and the shooting bennme geralen Griggs was shot in the side. JGriggs after being wounded, attempted to escape and made a dash through the door. He was followed aud caught in the woods near by. Captain Brown was sent for and when he arrived on the scene the negro was on his knees praying for mercy and was surrounded by men with drawn revolvers. Captain Browu begged the. > en not to commit any rash act and ler the prisoner be dealt with according to law. They were persuaded and the man was taken to Fincastle for safe keeping. Mr. Overstreet's wound is of a s:-r‘- ous nature and fears are entertained for his recovery. «, - Dead Japs Afloat Shanghai, Sept. I.—.
