Washington, March 8.—Hearings be

completed there is little hope of the tariff

Senator Vest failed to pn.t in an ap-

the Democratic membership was repre-

ators Jones, McPherson and Mills, &1-
thongh the latter has declined to act as
a member of the committee.

ment before the committee, did not con
fine himself to New York, but included
the industries of Connecticut and Mas-
lachiwetta, all of which are similar to
those found in New York. The New
York senator is confident that higher
duties will be given on many of these
schedules if for^no other reason than to
provide sufficient revenue and make the
bill what Mr. Hill says it is not, a tariff
bill for revenue only.

Bluefield, March 8.—Twenty-five
deputy marshals armed with Winches
ter rifles have just left here to aid in
forcing the sqnatters from certain coal
lands in Logan county. The Trans Fl it
Top Land association of Bromwell. has

hat neighborhood is in a state of

The surveyors have made several at

Each time they met with fierce resist

have held possession of the tract in ques

now threaten to use both dynamite and

determined and declare that they will

Wove About the West Virginia Troubles.
Charleston, March 8.—A mob of
over 100 mine rioters burned the Chesa-

Sheriff Sillmun and posse hurried to
the scene, bur the rioters had retired be
fore his arrival. The sheriff, with 400
militiamen and half as many deputies',
are at the scene. It is not thought that
the rioters will dare make an open

This makes resignation of the premier-

THE NEWS IN BEIEF. of other visitors were present including
I notice in some recent newspaper re
ports of eccial events illuminated head
lines and utterances to the end that the
lenten sesson has had little effect on
the gaieties of this and that plaoe, and
that “the te r dency has for some years
been growing towards lessening the
strict tires r-f Lent.” Now, this may be
true, and it may not be trde. I think
the sentiments are overdrawn, but if
rhe strictures are being lessened, it is
not tbe church tbat is doing it. It is
true that a great many social gaieties
go on dumg L**nt, and some of them 1
am sorry to say, are given and aided
and abetted by people who ought to ob
serve Lent. But newspaper reporters
are by no means reliable crit'os in this
matter, as these reports are frequently,
but perhaps not intentionally, exagger
ated. . and often they report names of
persons attending en‘- ‘aments who
have not the slightest i■:. .i being pres
ent at them. Sometimes i ines are fur
nished them by outside parties; then,
of coarse, it is not their faalt.
Those who do not observe Lent are
entitled to their opinions in the matter;
but it ianotfairand j act to judge the
whole church by some individual mem
bers who do not care to take the trouble
to get the good out of this blessed sea
son that the church offers; and the
whole churoh shoutd not be called in
consistent theref »r. Is there not a cer
tain per cent, of members in all
churches which liva not up to the
teachings snd doctrines of those
churches? Outsiders should not call
us inconsistent because some of our
members do not obooas to keep Lent.
Lent is a good thing, and if some do
not choose to keep it, it is their own
unfortunatenese, and they alone are re
sponsible. A prominent member of
a very large non-lent-observing church
once told me tbat seventy-five per cent
of his congregation did not pay their
dues, or paid then verv irregularly.

General Early was a Virginian. He
was bom in Franklin connty in 1816,
graduated at West Point, served with
Hie regulars in Florida, and with the
Virginia volunteers in Mexico, and at
tlie first Boll Ran led a brigade. In his
second battle, Williamsburg, Va., May
6, 1862, he was severely wounded and
did not resume his command until the
battle of Cedar Mountain. Ang. 19.1862,
He fought at second Ball Ran and An-
tietam and had the good fortune to com
mand the line on Marye’s Hill, which
checked the Union advance at Fred
ericksburg in May, 1863.
At Gettysburg he commanded a di
vision in Ewell’s corps and led the same
trooTw m the Wilderness camp iign of
1864 np to the battle of Cold Harbor.
After .nat battle he was sent to Lynch
burg to oppose General David Hunter’s
attacks upon that important position.
After repulsing Hunter he planned an
invasion of the border states. General
Lee gave him fall discretion in the mat
ter, and With 12,000 men he crossed the
Potomac at Shepherds town the first
week in July. Grant’s army lay at that
time in front of Petersburg, fully en
gaged in the effort to inclose the place
With beseiging lines.
So rapid were Early’s movements that
the Washington authorities had no fore
warning of the raid. Maryland was
a state of terror. The president called
out the militia of the eastern states, and
after considerable urging Grant sent the
Sixth corps from Petersb trg to Washing-
ton. On July 9 Early defeated a force
composed of the garrison of Baltimore
and a division of the Sixth corps, all un
der General Lew Wallace, at Monocacy
Junction, Md., and immediately
marched to the gates of Washington.
Meanwhile his cavalry detachments
threatened Baltimore and destroyed the
railways north of that city, but the de
lay caused by those operations was fatal
to Early’s plans. It was the twelfth be
fore he waa ready to attack the Wash
ington defenses, and then a reeonnois-
sance showed him that they were gar
risoned by veterans of the Army of the
Potomac. He abandoned the move
ment and returned to the Shenandoah
valley.
Sheridan soon confronted Early in the
valley with troops from the army at Pe
tersburg and defeated him in two bat
tles, at Opeqnon and Fisher’s Hill. Sept.
19 and 20. But on Oct. 19 Early sur
prised Sheridan’s camps at Cedar Creek
and came very near redeeming the val
ley from Union control. Sheridan saved
his army by the memorable ride from
Winchester and a stirring appeal to his
troops.
At the opening of the spring cam
paign in 1865 General Custer defeated
Early at Waynesboro, and Lee was com
pelled by public opinion, to select an
other commander for the Confederates
in tile valley.
After the war General Early practiced
law in Richmond and Now Orleans, and
was associated with Beauregard in man
aging the Louisiana lottery. Ho died a
bachelor, having had his first romantic
love affair spoiled by the fickleness of
northern girl whom he rescued from
drowning at White Sulphur Springs
during his cadet days.
The lovers were engaged, and the
j lieutenant was anticipating a happy ter
mination to the romance when his hopes
Vers-blasted by the receipt of a news

disdain and declared if he oould not
have a finer pair,be would have none at
all, and so he walked out of the store in
a most indignant and defiant way.
A few of a select circle were in front
of one of the stores yesterday, talking
about horse rsoes. One gentleman told
of a pious lady’s conduct when her son
came in from a race that had been run
near Athens. This race ocourred some
years sgo, and the good lady mentioned
has passed from the scenes of earth.
When her boy came home and she had
been informed that he had rode the
race, she threatened to punish him. He
had received a considerable sum of
money to make the rao?,and he thought
to propitiate her favor he handed it to
his mother, wheu she immediately
threw the role of bills into the fire,say
ing she would not soil her hands with
any suoh money.
We have on hand a lot of seconds
hand Baggies, Carriages, Wagons,
and vehicles,af most every hind that
we are offeiing some special bargains
in. Be sore and call and see ns if
you wish anything of the kind, or ij

another; we will trade with you.

He was one of the ablest men in the
State. His career in his profession as a

were in a position to know, that the
governor’s chair or a seat in Congress,
were almost assured, when he entered
the ministry.

Dr. Anderson wa-s a true man Itf'eve-
ry sense of the word. Pure and gentle
as was bis life, y*-t he would have
marched unfalteringly to the martyr's
stake had duty demanded it. His life
was a living illustration of the doc
trines he preached, aud yet he present

haps, tnan many of our ministers who
preach specially on that line.

Treasurer of Clarke county, was in the

I will never forget the last time I
met Dr. Anderson, It was at one of
bis quarterly conferences. A visiting
minister had preached a sermon on the
line of brotherly love and bearing one
anotbers burdens. The next day Dr.
Anderson met that minister and said
m substance: “My brother, I thank
yon for that sermon. Hereafter ~£
shall never go into a sick room without
carrying a flower and a little sun
shine." . *

A few years since whan at an annual
conference, some question was sprung
drawing out the leading men of the
body, It waa a battle of the gaints.
When W. D. Anderson arose and ad
dressed the chair, he stilled the au- *-q

dience in a moment, and from that time
on he held spell-bound the attention of
the conference. It was generally the
