Wagler, who resides near Bealton, Fauquier county, was convicted yesterday afternoon in the county court of Fauquier, Judge White presiding. The jury rendercd a verdict of guilty, and Judge White sen- tenced him to be hanged May 13. Eskins was taken to Warrenton from this city yesterday ‘morning, he havirig been brought here. and lodged in jail Wednesday night to prevent his being lynched. On the arrival of Deputy Sheriff Shirley wi. the prisoner at Warrenton yesterday there was a large crowd of peopie at the station a_d frequent threats of lynching were heard. Cooler. heads controlled the situation, and on the promise of a speedy trial the man was lodged in the Warrenton jail. Shortly after 11 o’clock the case was call- ed before a jury composed of prominent farmers and business men. The first wit- ness for the prosecution was Mr. Wagler, the father of the child. He stated that the littie one was not yct ten years old. He told of the cireumstances surrounding the attempted assault as told him by his little daughter. Little Barbara was placed on the stand, and, in her innocent, childish way, told the particulars of the story. She recognized Eskins by his face and by his voice, and pointed him out when called upon to do so. Inas- much as she could not converse in English, it was necessary for Justice Teates to in- terpret what she said. The justice. who made the prelimimary examination, testi- fied to the fact that Eskins had made a voluntary, statement to him in which he admitted having attempted the crime. A number of other witnesses were examined. The prisoner was put on the stand in his own defense, and made a miserable tailure in his attempt to disprove the damaging evidence that had been placed against him. He denied everything that implicated him, but his testimony was torn to pieces by Commonwealth Auorney Jeffries. It took the jury fifty minutes to reach a conclu- sion, and, from the demonstration on re- ceipt of the verdict, it was a most satisfac- tory one to the public. Judge White, after passing sentence, sald he felt sure the verdict met with the ap- proval of every honest citizen, white and black, in Fauquier county. He thanked the jury for their patience. Eskins at a late hour yesterday was still in the Warrenton jail. i ‘The fact that this negro was arrested, in- dicted by the grand jury and tried to a conclusion before a court of justice in three days shows that hy prompt action lynching can be averted. It is said that had this trial been long drawn out, or had an at- tempt been thadé to that end, it 1s more than probable'that the citizens of Fauquier county would have taken the matter in their own hands,.and the prisoner would have been summarily dealt with. In otner words, he wéuld’ have been hung to the nearest telegra! pole without going through the form of a trial, except before Judge Lynch;. Robbery Reported. Shortly after’7 o'clock this morning a telephone mtssage was received at police headquarters, from the clerk’ on tugboat Templar asking that an officer be sent down to the wharf) immediately. A rob- bery had been committed on board and the sum of $0 was missing. Officer Ferguson responded. On his arrival at the wharf he was told the circumstances in the case and asked to search the crew. This he de- clined to do. It was learned that the tug- boat was lying in Washington early in the morning and all hands went ashore ex- cept Captain Forrest. The clerk, it is said, came back in a few minutes and said he had left his watch. He went ashore again. ‘The money was not missed until after the tugboat left Washington. This money, it is said, was intended to pay off hands at one of the lower river fishing shores. To Be Buried Tomorrow. ‘The remains of the late Peter J. Kaufman, who committed suicide in this “city last Monday, will be laid to rest tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock in Bethel cemetery, this city. Through the efforts of Colonel William Youngblood of Alabama, auditor for the United States Interior Department, a purse was raised among the friends and acquaintances of the deceased to defray the expenses. The Spring Election. At a meeting of the city democratic com- mittee last night five candidates for the spring -election were present. It was de- cided to hold the primary Tuesday, the 19th instant. The offices to be voted for are commonwealth attorney, commissioner of revenue and city sergeant. Commonwealth Attorney Marbury will have no opposition. The other two offices will be hotly contest- ed. Messrs. Theo. Ballinger, Edgar Thomp- son and Charles Callahan will compete for the nomination for commissioner of reve- nue. Mr. William B. Dobie, at present a member of the board of aldermen from the first ward, will oppose City Sergeant Wil- liam H. Smith, the incumbent. All known democrats and all white vot- ers who will pledge themselves to support the nominees will be allowed to vote. ‘the general election will be held May 26. Funeral of H. E. Holt. The. Remarkable Resemblance Be- tween Two Brothers. 2 MANY AMUSING EXPERIENCES Curious Mistakes That Grow Out of the Great Similarity. COMEDY IN REAL LIFE Written for The Evening Star. There are living in Michigan today two men so alike in form and feature that their wives and children have great diffi- culty in telling them apart. For this rea- son their lives have been filled with inci- dents that it is the privilege of very few [persons in the world to experience, and every day adds to the queer happenings. These men are William Hisey of Sparta, Mich., and James Hisey of Yale, Mich. Each is in the milling business, and, oddly encugh, each fas achieved the same degree of success in life. It is often the case whcre nature plays so queer a prank as ‘to make children ex- actly alike that as the years come to them and environment differs the faces of the two become dissithilar to such an ex- tent as to render it comparatively easy to distinguish one from the other. In the case of the Hiseys, however, the lines of their lives have fallen in almost similar places, and, their tastes being largely the same, their characters have developed in much the same fashion. The result of all this is that the resemblance of childhood is just as strongly evident in the years of ma- turity. The following narratives, written by the twins, are unvarnished statements of fact. Tkey are given just as the writers penned them. The first is that of William Hisey of Sparta. William Hisey’s Story. “My twin brother and I look so much alike that not one person out of a thousand can tell us apart. We were born near Stouffville, Can., on a farm. We were al- Ways together, both at home and at school, always dressed alike and weighed the same. We were exactly the same height, our voices were precisely alike, and, to make the resemblance more perfect so far as other people were concerned, we each had a peculiar cough. “When we were boys our ambition was to learn the miller’s trade, and we have beth gratified it. We remained at home until 1878, when we went to the town of Ingersoll, Ont., to learn the miller’s trade. We began work the same day, but in differ- ent mills, and there was not a soul in the town who could tell us apart. Farmers would go to one mill and then to the other and would be puzzled to find what seemed to be the same miller in two different places, each of whom told them he had been there at the same time. “When we went out in the evening in company we had more fun than I can tell you. Even our most intimate friends in Ingersoll could not tell us apart. It would often happen that each would take a ycung lady to a party. After we were all in cne room, neither of the girls could tell which one of us she had come with. Often we would make some excuse and leave the ladies we were with for a moment and change partners. The girls would not know it, and one of them would taik on a subject to me which I knew nothing about, as it Was something she had been discussing with my brother. I would carry on the ccnversation as best I could, and then I would let the girl be as sweet to me as she wanted to. After awhile I weuld tell her of the change. Droll Mistakes. “In 1877 I left Ingersoll and settled down at Memphis,,Mich. I soon got acquainted with the yourg people, and after being there more than a year, became engaged to a young lady. A few weeks before the wedding my brother paid me a visit, and for the life of her my sweetheart could not tell us apart at all, nor could her people. When she wanted to talk over the arrange- ments for the wedding, she would talk with my brother almost as often as she did with me. She used to try to make me promise not to let her make such mistakes, and in seme way let ber know which was which. But it was tco much fun for us. The even- ing of our wedding day we had a large company, as our guests, and my wife was in perfect misery becaus2 she did not know which was her hubby when she saw him. We bave had three chiidren. Our little boy was seven years old when he died, and he would often make mistakes when my brother and I were together, for since we lave been men we have dressed alike, just as we did when we were boys. My little girl was six years old before she could tell which of us was her papa when we were together. Each of us would say, ‘Come to papa,’ and she would have to look and study to find out which was really papa, and then would sometimes make a mistake. “My wife had an aunt living near us, who Lad known me for four or five years. My other came to visit us, and we all went over to see the aunt. My brother went in- to the house first, and introduced me as the stranger. My aunt inquired how I liked it in Michigan, and about things in general, and did not know the truth at all. At the same time I had a bad tooth, and went to a de1.tist to get it filled. After he had examined the tooth he went into an adjoining rocm to get something, when my brother and I changed places. When the dertist came out again, and started to fix the tooth, you can imagine his astonish- ment to find no hollow tooth there at all, Similarly Afflicted. “Both my brother and myself are afilict- ed with rheumatism in our feet, knees, hands and shoulders.

The government of the United States has increased its orders for cavalry horses. To quote a herse buyer, who talked about it today, “ihe government is buying cavalry horses night and day.” The insurgent gov- ernment of Cuba is also buying horses and plenty of them, and Kansas City is furnish- ing most of the animals for both govern- ments. Rufus E. Eddy of Cameron, Mo., buyer for J. D. Guyton & Co. of St. Louis, who hold most of the government contracts for the equines tor the cavalry and artil- lery branch of the army, spends two days of every week in Kansas City getting all the horses of this class that he can. He buys from the horse and mule markets, sale barns, or any one who-has the right sort of animals. Said Mr. Eddy today: “There is a big increase in the number of cavalry horses bought by the govern- ment. Thcre is more of a demand than ever, and all the good, sound animals fit for service and up to the requirements are taken. Of course, the government is buy- ing horses all the time, but now it is taking more than ‘usual. The government inspection takes place at Lathrop, Mo. The inspectors come from Chicago. Last week 104 horses passed in- spection at Lathrop ard were accepted by the government. One carload of them went to Fort Riley and the rest to various forts. Three weeks ago 101 animals were bought by the government inspectors. As is well known, the requirements for horses for the army ere somewhat rigid. For the cavalry they must be of solid col- or, fifteen hands one inch high, 1050 pounds in weight, sound and without blemish, must walk, trot and canter perfectly and must be of a breedy type. The government pays as high as $100 for such animals. For the artillery service the requisites are the same, except more weight is demanded in the horse used for the big guns. it is expected. among horse dealers that contracts for more army horses will be let by the government in a few days. Heretofore only mules have been pur- chased in Kansas City by the Cuban gov- erhment, but it is now sending here for horses. Senor Don Jose Lopez was in the city last week with A. Utget, inspector for the Cuban government, figuring with Cot- tingham Bros. and other firms for a big bunch of horses for the Cuban mounied forces. They wanted 600 cavalry horses. On Friday, after two days here, Senor Lo- ew Orleans the peer— the purest of all Flour, Don’t Give Up! If success does not at- tend your breadmaking attempts, don’t give up. Try again.
