JOHN GOODE
IS SHOCKED
Virginia's Grand Old Man Had
jNot Discovered He Was
Eighty.
UNREQUITED SYMPATHY
Declared if They Were Getting
Ready to Bury Him It Was
Time He Was Getting Un.
(Special to The Tlmes-Dlspatch.)
NORFOLK, VA.. June 27.?"If they are
preparing to bury me I had bettor get
up."
*. This le Raid to bo the phrase In which
a recent resolution was expressed hy
Mi*. John Goode, "Grand Old Man of
Virginia," the venerable statesman, who
Is probably the strongest link between
the Virginia of to-day and the Virginia
of tho troubled past. Whgn It was noted
i-ometlme ago that Mr. Goode was con?
fined to his room In the home of Mrs.
William T. Brooke, his daughter, and
would probably not be astir for some
days?or, even weeks?sufficient had been
said.
THE REGIC-DES.
The professional regicides of the coun?
try, however, ha.ve been busy ever since.
Printed regrets that "the only surviving
member of the Confederate Congress,
now long- past eighty years of age, is dan?
gerously stricken In Norfolk," have been
multiplying with disconcerting rapidity.
They have extended from Richmond
to Boston and from Boston to Chicago,
and back again. Whatever satisfaction
this general concern over his approach?
ing end brings to Mr. Goode, is not cer?
tain.
A DISTINCT SHOCK.
It was, however, a distinct shock to
him to learn that he la over eighty years
old?he didn't know it himself?and It has
pained him deeply to d'.?cover that ho
hns been prepared for the undertaker.
With the assertion of that spirit of op?
position, which has distinguished certain
stages of his career, ho rises vigorous?
ly against the majority and declines to
be hurled. He will probably leave for
Washington to-morrow or next day, and
expects to be transacting business tho
day after that.
A WAR CLAIM.
New Constitution Thought to
Have Endowed It With New Life
(.Special to The Times-Dispatch.)
MONTEREY. VA., June 27.-The Board
of Supervisors of Highland county has
been confronted by a war claim, of which
? the present, members, as well as two
thirds of the citizens, knew nothing until
the presentation of the claim nt t*?e last
meeting of the broad.
I The obligation Is In tho form of a
I bond, time-worn and faded, but with the
following subject matter, plain and dis?
tinct:
"On the first day of ? February, ono
j thousand eight hundred and sixty-four.
Highland county will pay to the treasurer
of said county eight hundred dollar*,
with Interest from date.
"Witness (he signature of the presiding
Justice and .seal of the said county this
10th day of December. 1S61.
"WM. HKVENBR, President."
(County seal affixed.)
On the reverse side of the Instrument
is this endorsement; "Pay tho within
bond to Andrew J. Beverage.
"A. STEPHENSON. Treas.
"December IP. 1861."
The money was borrowed by the county
for the purpose of supplying soldiers'
families with salt?a very necessary
arid scarce article In those days?and the
explanation given by Mr. Beverage for
allowing the claim to sleep so slong is
that it was barred hy the article of the
L'nderwood Constitution, which prohibited
the payment of claims growing out of aid
offered the rebellion. The adoption of
tho new Constitution, without any such
prohibition, Mr. Beverage believes the
county can and should now recognize the
obligation.
Bond and interest amounts to some?
thing over $2,700.

(Special to Tlio Tlmes-Dlspatch.)
.TARRATT, VA., June 27.?Misa Ann!?
Boiling, who hnd for tho past two yearn
, or more been living with tho family of
I Mr, Charles Stuart, near Alvland post
' office, Sussex county, left the house
Tuesday afternoon last, as was supposed
to go to the apple orchard for fruit. She
did not return, ana wa.s not heard from
Bgain until Sunday morning when Mr.
Spencer Crowshaw, living near by, no?
ticed some vultures flying around, and
, was attracted to the spot.
In a dense forest he found the charred
remains or skeleton of the lady. Cir?
cumstances Indicate that she waa first
I murdered and then burned, the body be?
ding entirely consumed, except one foot,
j on which was a shoe. This, however,
was sufficient for identification, the shoe
having beon recently half-soled by Mr.
Stuart's son.
? BODY BURNED.
I Bhe lay near the root of a tree, the
? limbs of which had been scorched over
| Its height, thus establishing tho fact that
It required a big effort to consume tho
body. The underbrush within a radius
of fifty feet had been burned.
The hair from her head had been cut,
ond was found a little ways off. Mr.
Crowshaw thinks he heard cries of dis?
tress near this place Tuesday afternoon.
There was a storm approaching at the
time, and ho then supposed |t might have
been some boys shout.ng.
The affair Is shrouded in floepest mys?
tery, and the neighbors aro greatly
wrought up'over iho dreadful tragedy.
? magistrate was notified, who sum?
moned a few of the neighbors, but seem?
ed unable to gain much light on what
seems to be a terrible crime.
PURTHKR INVESTIGATION.
A physician, who had been summoned,
was confident that it was murder, and
advised that the Commonwealth's attor?
ney be notified, and the body be not In?
terred until her relatives could bo com?
municated with.
Miss Bulling is said to havo been quite
a good looking lady of twfenty-five 'or
thirty .years of age. It may "lie her mind
was impaired, as she remained mostly in
seclusion, possibly involuntarily.
It is stated that quite a snug little
sum had beon left for her support, as
much as two thousand dollars.
Another Account.
(Special to The Tlmes-Dlspatch.)
TRL'ITT, VA., June 27.?Sunday morn?
ing tho dead body of Miss Annlo Bollng,
a respectable lady, thirty years of age,
was foutifl In the woods one and one-half
miles south of this place, by Mr. Spencer
Cro how. Tho body h?id been entirely
destroyed by dogs and buzzards and noth?
ing remained but bones. Not even a rag
of .her .clothing could be found, as tho
bodv had been burned in some way. and
the "woods fifty yards around where the
body lav bad been burned over.
How the fire originated Is a mystery, ,
Miss Bollng, who was a near relative of !
Mr. Charles Steward, a farmer near here,
had mado her borne with him for the
past threo years, and it is said that her
mind would be somewhat affected at
times, and last Tuesday evening, about
four o'clock, left the house for tho pur- j
pose of going to the apple orchard, it Ib 1
said, and that was the Jast seen of lier j
until her bones were found to-day.
A coroner's Jury of six men wore sum
moned, and Doctors Wright and Mages, j
after thorougly examining the bones as
best they could under tho circumstances, ?
stated that they could tlnd no evidence of
foul play.
.Magistrate T. J. Hill hen postponed
the hearing of witnesses until Tuesday,
the ?Stli, In order that ho may communi- I
cate with the Cnmmonwc.'?V-h's attorney
of Sussex county.
The affair is a mystery Inasmuch as the

The County Stirred Over the
Proposition to Remove the
Courthouse.
(Special to The Tlmes-Dlspatch.)
HOLLADA.", VA., June 27.? Stato con?
ventions, presidential nominations, pat-ty
politics and even smallpox cut no ice
In this county at present, for tho reason
that a now courthouse must, be built, nnd
Mineral City hns raised the sum of flvo
thousand dollars and a nlco two aero site
as a bonus to, get tho new courthouse
built within that new and hustling city.
This Is tho theme of all talk and the
text that starts a thousand sermon?*. It
Is said that two supervisors are strongly
for building at Mineral, ono against re?
moving, and one In favor of leaving the
question to be decided by a voto of the
people, and, from tho best Information
received, the people will favor removal
and acceptance of tho bonus, which will
como very near to building a good new
courthouse. Naturnlly things aro truly
warm In Louisa, nnd are likely to be red
hot on July 4th, when there will bo a big
public meeting at Mineral City nnd a
large crowd nnd somo good speakers to
address the voters "pro und con" (but
chiefly pro). Thn occasion will bo quito
festive, as special trains and excursion
rates are expected, and perhaps a bar?
becue after tho good old Virginia style.
Thero Is no doubt of the fact that Min?
eral Is making things hum, and that
Louisa has Kot to do some rapid side?
stepping and considerable double-shuf?
fling, or get left. It looks very much like
a serious thing for Louisa, with chances
against, her holding tho lead In the race,
though she has some of the best fighters
and strongest men In the county to do
their level best for her.
Let us hope there will bo a Joint de?
bate, a big crowd and a barbecuo thut
shall make the occasion long remembered
from end to end of tho county.
