STEAM ON THE CAMILLA New
DEPARTURE.-It will be remembered
that some years since the State of New
York offered Sl00. 900 tor canal steamer
that could be navigated without wash
ing the banks of the Erie canal. Such
craft exists in our midst, has been in
the employ of Messrs. Pitcher & For
loins for several weeks. The boat is
named the Palermo, and is used in bring
ing in the city coal from pits some sew
enteen miles distant. On the 1st of Au-
gust the Palermo left the pits for Lynch
burg, and made the return trip in one
week. The boat does not wash the banks
as much as the boats drawn 0y mules or
horses. This was the first that ever
went up to Lynchburg, and its passage
excited much interest and surprise along
the route and in Lynehburg.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE CHINESE.
Representative Luttrell, of California,
who is in Washington, has had an inter-
view with Pres ident Hayes on the Chi
nese question, which he says was very
satisfactory. Whilst declining to state
to an interviewer what the President said
about the matter, Mr.. Luttrell said the
President is perfectly alive to the great
evils resulting to the country from the
inflow of the Chinese" and that if he
could tell the people of California what
the President said to him on the subject
lit would send thrill through the whole
Pacific region" Mr.. Luttrell was asked
what effect the newly-arrived Chinese
embassy would have in determining the
course to be pursued by this government.
II think" was the reply, "that after
they come here and have an interchange
of opinions with the President and ascer-
tain exactly how he stands, they will be
satisfied that some limitation must be
made in the emigration Of their country
men to the United States, which now
contains by far too many of them for its
good"
The President was visited this week
by gentleman named Callan. who has
shaken hands with every President from
James Madison to the present incum-
bent. Mr.. Hayes received him cordially,
and Mr.. Callan informed him that "he
witnessed the burning of the Presidents
house and public buildings in 1914. Mrs.
Monroe, the wife of the President" he
said, requested two employees to pre-
serve the likeness of General Washing
ton. then in the White House. But they
finding it difficult to save the picture
and frame; took knife and cut it ont
of the frame with great care. and remov'
ed it to place of safety. Thepicture waf
preserved and returned to Mrs. Madison
on her return to Washington" On thu
conclusion of Mr.. Callan's story the
President shook him by the hand, ant
returned thanks for the information, and
said he had desired for long time to b.
able to find some person who could Civ
him Information on the subject.

The Lexington Gazette says AS
Capt. William Davidson's wagon, load
ed with rock crusher, was passing over
the small bridge at the Baths, the side
stretcher of the bridge gave away, and
the whole structure was precipitated in
to the creek below. The oxen were car
ried down in the crash: but were all got
ten out safe and sound. The driver
escaped as by miracle, as he was on
the bridge at the time, and had to jump
off as it was going down. The Baths
people soon assembled and worked with
a will to extricate the oxen. The rock
crusher weighed several tons.

their residence in Green township, some 10
miles north of this city. Mrs. Wilson was
aged about 43 years, and the little girl some
seven or eight years Mrs. W. was the wife

Mrs. Wilson declined TO accept the prOyis-
ions of the will, and partition of the prop

These particulars are necessary to a proper
understanding of the terrible tragedy and
causes therfor.
The Hancock Democrat had reporter
early on the ground, when the following
facts were learned: The residence of Mrs.
Wilson is on the north side OF a road run
ming east and west, and sets back about
twenty feet. 1t is a small one story frame
house of four rooms, and faces to the south.
On the east of the house Is a barn yard, the
barn being some distance north of the house
and little east. As viewed by our reporter
the situation of the murdered woman and
child can be ascertained by the following
diagram:
