Francis March Raker, an esteemed clergyman of the Protestant Episcopal Church of Virginia, died at his resi- 1 dcncc in this city yesterday morniug at 3 o'clock, of paralysis. He was in his usual health the day before, and had in t!ie morning attended the funeral of a ; friend at Dr. Iloge's church. At 12 o'clock that night he was attacked by the disease which terminated hi* useful life. About a year ago he had a similar attack just as he was leaving t lie Episcopal Council at Lynchburg. Eleven months of suffering anil visible decline followed, but he still cleaved to his work, under the faithful and unremitting care of his wife, * daughter of our city treasurer. Samuel C. Greenhow, Esq. Mr. Raker was born in this city in Sei> t ember, 1S23, and was in the fifty-seventh year of his iige. lie was educated nt Wil liam and JIaty College, and commenced to read law under Conway Robinson. In the great revival in Virginia in 1 S40? ?41 he be- j came a Christian, and changed hi-) vocation from the law to the Gospel. He entered t lie Theological Seminary of Virginia and was ordained to the diaconate by Bishop Meade in 1S45. Hi* first charge was in Frede rick. Md., then in Marengo county, Ala. On hi* return to Virginia he took charge of i ho churches at Flncastle and Ruchanati, where he remained until 1S0S, I when he received a call to Grace church, in ! tins city. Mr. Samuel I\ Mitchell having I just erected for 31 r. Raker the house of worship at the corner of Main and Foushee streets. His life here is known to all. Xo one ever had a more unblemished reputa tion or was more universally regarded a truly pious, sincerely Christian man. In the pulpit be may not have been as eloquent as some others, but he always aimed to preach a pure gospel, at,d nothing else. During the revival pervading the country j just before the late war Mr. Raker was one of the most earnest laborers in the prayer- 1 meetings held in Richmond and elsewhere. | "With fewer ties at the time than any of the other Episcopal elergv in Richmond, he literally became the apostle of Fredericks burg, laboring there day after dav for weeks. ll:s work in that city was crowned by enabling his old friend. Rev. Dr. Ed ward McGuire, the life-long rector of St. George's, to present a cfass of more than , ninety candidates for confirmation iust be fore it pleased God to call him to his hea venly rest. Perhaps this wa> the culminating point in Mr. Baker's ministry ? at least in the eves of j the world. His solid, steady, slow but sure work in laying the foundations and build- 1 ing up the congregation of Grace church is 1 known and appreciated in its true character and blessing by many of our people, and we may believe is recorded in Heaven as one of the brightest pages of his conse crated life. Tin; last few years he devoted to the Missionary Society of the Diocese of Virginia as its secretary, laboring to his dying day to spread its blessed influence nnd increase its efficiency. It was one of God's mercies to His faithful servant to take him by this sudden vistaiion into the heavenly rest ere he had become incapacitated for his Master's work on earth. Mr. Raker's funeral will take place from St. James church this afternoon at half-past 4 o'clock. The clergy of the Richmond Episcopal churches will act as pall-bearers. All other Christian ministers are invited to attend and occupy the seats reserved for them. Drowned in' TiiK Dock.? The body of a netjro man namccl Ceorgc Scott. aged about thirty-live years, who lived on N street be iween Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth streets, was found floating in the dock yes terday morning. Scott was last seen by Samuel liurk on Monday night, April 14th, at Kane's store, on Main street between Twenty-fourth and Twenty-lift h streets, in an intoxicated condition. It is supposed that he wandered down to ihe dock and fell in, and, being in a helpless condition and unable to get out. was drowned. l)r. W. II. Taylor, the Coroner, was notitied, and went down and viewed the body. There were no marks of violence upon Ins body, and he was identified by articles found on his person. It appearing that the man was accidentally drowned an in quest was deemed unnecessary. Accident at a Funeral.? Yesterday af ternoon during the funeral services at the Fourth Baptist (colored) church the steps in rear of the building gave way and pre cipitated a number of persons who were standing upon them to the ground. Two colored women were injured and bruised, but not seriously. The Poixdextek Trial.? The publishers of the pamphlet giving an account of the Curtis homicide, Poindexter trial, ?&e., have favored us with an advance copy. The lit tle book is well gotten up, and will no doubt command a ready sale. It can be bad to-day at the news-dealers. Persoxal. ? Dr. J. L. M. Curry delivers the annual address to the Ladies' Sewing Circle of Sidney Baptist church Sunday night. To-morrow the Rev. Dr. Iloge will de liver an address at the anniversary < f the Petersburg liible Society. Rev. Dr. With [ erspoon vill supply his pulpit. Mr. D. F. Ilayden. of the Providence Star , in the clam-bake State, is in Richmond. We had a pleasant chat with him yesterday. The Concert Tuesday Night.?' The com plimentary benefit to Dr. J. linrtkowskl, which will be .given at Mozart Hall Tuesday evening tioxt, will doubtless be a charming affair. Dr. Bartkowski is a great favorite in Richmond awi a man of such refilled mu sical taste that nothing is hazarded in mak ing this announcement. Almost all the amateur and all the professional talent of the city have kind!?- consented to assist, and a concert of rare enjoyment may be eonti dentJy expected. Cjxderella Opera.? The sale of reserved seats for the first night of Cinderella Is pro gressing very satisfactorily, and the list* tor the other two performance* ure being tilled rapidly. The sale of seats for the two last performances? Wednesday, May 5th, and Friday, Jtfay 7th? will commence ou Mon day. _________ Tbe Amateur Baud of this city enlivar.efl the" audience at the 31anchester musicale last night t>y discoursing some excellent music. A VERDICT. The Jury Come, to tin Agreement in tbc I'otmlexter Came. PO IN DEXTER FOUND GUILTY OF VOLUN- I TARY MANSLAUGHTER? HIS TERM OF IM- | FRISONMENT IN THE PENITENTIARY AS- I CERTAINED AT TWO YEARS? Til 12 PRtS- | ONER GREATLY AFFECTED BY THE j VERDICT? A SAD SCENE? PROBABILITY j THAT 1 HE CASE WILL GO TO THE SU- j PREME COURT? THE POINTS SAVFD BY j DEFENCE. At 11 o'clock yesterday morning the Hustings Court was called to order; the minutes of the previous dny were read and signed by the Judge, and the roll-call of the jury had. as usual. Two or three members of the Jury looked particularly bright and cheerful, as if they had a prospect of an early conclusion of the case and would soon be at liberty to hear the sweet songs of the birds ana scent the buttercups and daises, as poetically pictured by Mr. Young on the day before. GENTLEMEN, BATE TOU AGREED ? Every member of the jury bavin? an swered to his name, the Clerk (Mr. Jinkins) asked, ?' Gentlemen, have you agreed upon a verdict?" Mr. Janney, the foreman, rose from his seat, and said in a low and rather unde cided tone, ?? No, sir." Thereupon Judge Christian said : Sergeant, take the jury to tfieir room. Come this way, gentlemen, said Sergeant Lee. and the jurymen tiled out oi the court into their room. ?' 1 told you so. It will be another hung jury," said many a Solomon. IN* WAITING. The crowd 'n waiting for the verdict whb largo, but yet not as great as 'when the speaking was going on. The space outside of the railing, allotted to the general public, was densely packed? the colored element predominating. There were about a dozen privileged seats unoccupied? a thing not usual at any stage of the case. The prisoner was in a meditative mood. During most of the time he wa< leaning back, his chin upon his hands and his el bows upon the arms of the chair. Ills face is a line one. No man in the court-room had a better one.' Throughout he had acted with great composure. A VERDICT. The jury, after an absence from the court room or about tirteen minutes, returned to their scats. The Clerk (Mr. Jinkins): Gentlemen of the jury, have you agreed upon a verdict? 31r. Januev, of Alexandria (the foreman) : j We have. The Clerk : John E. Poindexter, stand up. The prisoner arose; there were some movements of the muscles of his face, but he was evidently nerving himself to hear the worst, and he appeared calm and self reliant. A PAINFUL ANNOUNCEMENT. The Clerk : Gentlemen of the jury, look upon the prisoner. What say you? Is he guilty of the murder whereof li* stands in dicted or not guilty ? 31r. Janney (looking at the prisoner): Guilty. 31 r. Jannev then passed the indictment to the Clerk, who read the verdict of the j un indorsed on the back of the indictment in the following words: We the jury find the prisoner, John E. Poindexter, guilty of voluntary manslaugh ter. and ascertain the term of his imprison ment in the penitentiary at two years. IIenky Janney, Foreman. EMOTION. The prisoner at the word " guilty" shrank as if fearful of what was to follow. At " penitentiary '"?a dreadful sound, to his ears? he could no longer bear up. II is legs weakened and he sank into his chair, rested his head upon the bar, and concealed hie face with his hands. No sound escaped his lips; but the anguish of that moment had never been equalled in his life, unless when lie found that tie had killed Curtis. 11 is brother Thomas, who was seated be side him, tried for a moment to retain his composure. But in vain. lie bowed his head close by the prisoner, and the two al most literally mingled their tears. It was noticed that at least one of the jurors had teais in his eyes. POLI. TIIK JURY. Mr. Young turned to the Clerk and said : " Poll the jury." The Clerk then said to the jurv: "Gen tlemen, as your names are called" vou will each respond whet tier the verdict I have read is your verdict or not." The Clerk then called over the name of each juror: Michael Bossart, Henry Jan ney, E. y. Chuksoti, Richard S. "Windsor, William Chaimeey, and Horace L. English, of Alexandria; J. H. Moore, Henry D.Gen ther, Jr., O. J. Doggett, J. E. Woody, Wil liam E. Jetlries, and George H. Peyton, Jr., of Fredericksburg. Each juror responded : " That is my verdict." AND SO SAY YOU AI.L. The Clerk then recorded the verdict of the jury in the record-book, and said: "Gentlemen of the jury, hearken to your verdict as the Court haih recorded it. You say that the prisoner, John E. Poindexter, is guilty of voluntary manslaughter, and you do ascertain the term of his imprison ment in i he penitentiary at two years. And so say you all." The jury nodded their assent to the ver dict as recorded. THANKS TO THE JUKY. Then the Judge (his voice husky) thanked the jury for their patient attention and ex cellent demeanor throughout the trial. He but expressed thecommon >entiment. Never did twelve men listen moreearefully. From beginning to ending not a man flagged, and not by a hod or wink did they show what their views were. After receiving the warm thanks of the Judge, they were discharged. The Judge's eyes were tilled with tears, and the hand raised before them but poorly concealed his emotion. SUSPENSION. After some little conversation between counsel, Mr. Young said he would have a motion to submit to the Court, but was not exactly prepared now, and would ask that the matter be allowed to lie over uutil .Mon day. The Judge: Mr. Wise (the Common wealth's Attorney), have you anything to say ? iMr. Wise: No, sir; I have no objection to make. The prisoner was then remanded to jail. He got in a hack with Deputy Sergeant Tyler, and accompanied by his brothers, who have from I he beginning stuck to him with a closeness and affection which has excited general admiration. THE POINTS SAVED BY DEFENCE. 1st. A general demurrer to the indict meut. 2d. Motion to quash the writ of venire facias to summon the jury? that is the twenty-four men. 3d. Motion to quash the writ for 200 citi zens of Richmond. 4th. 31otion to quash the two writs for citizens of Alexandria and Fredericks burg. 5th. Bill of exceptions as to admitting the evidence in regard to the whipping at the store of Wing'o, Ellett & Crump. And if a motion for a new trial be made and refused, there may be another bill of exceptions stating the whold evidence. The writs of venire facias excepted to are jn the exaot language of the Revised Criminal Code (July, 1878). MEETING OP IB B JURY. Immediately after their discharge the ( jury met in the Sergeant's room, Henry Janney in the chair. Resolutions of thanks to Jadge Christian, Sergeant Lee and his deputies, and to all the officers of the Court were adopted. The Jurymen seemed to be well pleased with their trip, and with the courtesies and at tentions received. PERSONAL. There were ten members of the jury in favor of a verdict of no less than five years in the penitentiary and one for lighter pun ishment and one for involuntary manslaugh ter. The verdict rendered ? and which was really determined upon Thursday evening was the result of a compromise. Several of the jurors stated yesterday that to find the verdict they did was one of the most painful things they ever had to do; hut they were convinced that their duty re quired them to do no less than tliey did. Mr. Doggctt, a member of the jury, was a schoolmate of the accused. Fnnoral or Rev. Scott Gwitthmey. Rev. Scott Gwuthmcy, pastor of the Fourth African Baptist church, on Church Hill, was buried yesterday afternoon from the church of which he was pastor. There was an immense concourse of colored peo ple present, but there were few who were able to take part in the services from the fact that the vast crowd outside of the build ing kept up such a talking that it was next to impossible to hear anything that was going on. It was perhaps the largest gathering ol colored people that we have had in Richmond for many years. Long before mid-day yes terday a perfect stream of people were pass ing continually to the church, and when the services commenced there were fullv five thousand people on the outride of the church, and the building itself crowded to ! its utmost capacity. The remains were I conveved from the home of the deceased, j on* Thirtieth street between 2s and 0 S street?, to the church about ,1 o'clock, es corted by several colored societies and a long procession of carriages and person* on foot. Every carriage that could lie hired in the I city was engaged for the funeral, the num- I her being over 150. Before the arrival of j Policemen Franklin, Tucker, and Burnett at the church the crowd was *o den?e on the front porch, on the east side of the building, that, several women were made sick, and the place had to be cleared. But for the efforts of those officers the re sults would have been very serious. Upon the front of the church was the in scription, marking the time of the erection and dedication of the building (1875), the name of the builder, and underneath hung a neatly-framed picture of the deceased, all draped in mourning. While the vast assem blage awaited the arrival of the remains from the house, the congregation within the building sang a number of hymns familiar to the colored people. The pall-bearer? were Washington Ham, Nicholas White, John Brooks Richard Cooper, Spencer Miller, and W. Ii. Woad, laymen; and Revs. J. II. Holmes, Ii. Wells, E. Saunders, W. Brax ton, und A. Binga. The ministers carried the body into the church from the step^ on the south side, the remains having been conveyed to the church in a hearse drawn by four white horses. When the cofiin, cov ered with flowers, was borne into the church, many persons outside a? well as those within the building sobbed and cried aloud, creating no little excitement. The case was placed upon a tabic just inside of the door, and the services began with the sinking of a hymn. Rev. A. Bmga lining the hymn out." Rev. J. H. Holmes then read the 19? Ii chapter of Revelations, and prayer was of fered by Rev. Eli Saunders. The most im pressive feature of the service followed? the singing by the church choir of an an them, ?' Blessed arc the dead who die in the Lord." It was indeed beautiful. At the conclusion of tins singing Rev. John Jasper, of the Sixth Mount-Zion Baptist church, delivered a sermon from the front portico of the church, his text being from the 7th chapter of Revelations, 13th and 14th verses.. lie be pan by Infer ring to his intimate acquaintance with the deceased for the pastfourteen years; lead a memoranda prepared by Gwathmey's for mer owner, giving the date of his birth (1820) and much other personal informa tion not necessary to relate here. He cime from King William county, however, and the speaker said when he first knew him he was a stemmer in a tobacco-factory ; that he was a perfect gentleman; lie was confi dent he was called by Cod to preach the Gospel, which he said he had done faithfully ever since the renovation of the South. lie then proceeded wil h the discussion of his text, which lie said in the beginning was a tremendous heavy one. He delivered a characteristic sermon of some length ; after which the immense procession of carriages, buggies, wagons, and vehicles of u 1 1 kinds, societies and persons on foot, followed the remains to Sycamore burving-ground, where they were interred with the usual ceremo nies. Among the whiles whoattrnded the fune ral were Rev. Dr. Dickinson, Rev. Charles If. Corey, Dr. Knox, and others. fComtnunlcateii. ) To the Public. It is not my purpose or desire to modify any single position which 1 took during my connection with the trial of 31 r. John K. Poindexter. I desire, however, that my positions should not be misunderstood. 1st. Mr. Commonwealth's Attorney George D. Wise said in his concluding speech that I had said that I would not con demn any man who should take a liberty with a lady who would permit it. Mr. Wise wholly misunderstood me wlien he thought ^hat I said this. I did not, that I know of, say this, or anything like it. If I said anything that could bear this con struction I used language that did not ex press the idea that was in my mind. 2d. The excellent reporter for the State reports me Saturday evening as intending to apply the name of Sairy Gamps to all those who condemned the whipping and shooting of Curtis. My friend of the State also misunderstood me. I have never intended to say that all those who condemned the whipping and shooting of Curtis were Sairy Gamps.
