the latter was at Ancon, Panama, to
the effect that the “Republican county
committee unanimously denounces the

"Ilnlcsii facts ns known to me are
shown to tie falsr. the order will
under no cltciim*fance« be re- -

that mobs were preparing to board the
train at Land’s Station and seise the
prisoner, stationed himself In a special
car with the negro, completely sur
rounded with loaded muskets ready
for any event of attack.
Prominent women of Princess Anne
have raised a public “protection fund 1
and have employed J. J. Burrougrs, ■
leading Norfolk attorney, to prosecute
Smith, looking to his legal execution.
It Is the most remarkable action ever
known to have been taken by women
of Virginia, even In such heinous
crimes.
Reports from Princess Anne say that
large crowds of farmers are assem
bling at the court house.
Smith's defense will be Insanity. Hs

from August 16. 1305, the party

‘••ached dense Ice In the Greenland side
ot Cape Calhoun and after a temporary
delay, steamed north close by tho
Greenland coast, past Cape Constltu-
bun and Thank God passage.
Smashed Against the Ice.
A few miles north of Cape Lupton a
sodden motion of the Ice smashed the
Roosevelt against the Ice and ground

a narrow niche after hard work with
■■rr heaviest lines. This momentary
[lurry twisted the back of tho rudder.

Peary Decides op Dash.
In Lincoln Bay the Roosevelt was
held some time and forced aground at
every tide and early In the morning
was made fast to the Ice. It pressed
against tlio starboard side.
The Roosevelt was unmercifully
squeexed and one blade torn off her
propeller later. On the turn of the tide
she settled back somewhat, hut did not
float until the summer. The party win
tered there and In the spring, Peary,
finding that he could no longer count
on the supporting parties, decided that
whatever was to be done must.be done
with a dash, with the outcome hanging
upon the weather and the condition of
the Ice. - <
Feeds Dogs to Animals.
At Storm camp, Peary abandoned
everything • not absolutely • necessary
and bent every energy to setting a rec

Peary In the lead, with the compass,
sometimes on a dog trot, the sledges
following In Indian file with driver
running beside, placed them 30 miles
to the good.
As the dogs gave out, unable to keep
the pace, they were fed to the others.
April 30 Peary came Into a region of
open leads, extending nearly north and
south, and the lee motion became more
pronounced. Hurrying on between
these, a forced march waa made. Then
they slept a few hours, and. starting
again soon after midnight, pushed on
till noon of the 21st Peary’s observa

Knoxville, Tenn., Nov. 21.—The
Southern railway. It Is learned, has let
to the Oliver contracting firm of this
city a contract to double-track that
road between Charlotte and Atlanta.
The work. It Is stated. Is to be let to
sub-contractors and will legln by Jan
uary 1. * •
It will probably take three or four
years to do this work, as aside from
the double trackage, the course of the
track will be changed at many points
and the curves and grades done away
with as far as possible. The line when
completed will be almost a new one.
Double tracking has been In prog
ress north of Charlotte to a consider
able extent and the second line has
been laid between several of the larger
cities as far north as Danville. It is
not Improbable that the line will be
double-tracked between Charlotte and
Spencer, In order to eventually give
double trackage all the way between
Washington and Atlanta.
The road has been forced to this
work because of the congested condi
tion of trafllc between Washington and
the metropolis of the Empire State of
the South.
