DIR. John X. Cabell, Jr.. of Sandy
River. in this county, son OF Or. Koy
Cabell. and nephew Of Hon. George g..
Cabell. died quite suddenly on the ga
instant. He had been not in good
health for some time, aud on that day
rode his horse to water. and at the
watering-place fell off and died before
any assistance could be rendered him.
1t is supposed he suffered from heart
disease DR.. Cabell was about twenty
five wears of age, had attended Baltl-
more school, and had been engaged IN
practice about four years.
Major Sutherlin has bought at sale
under deed of trust the tract of land
sold by him to Mr.. c. c. Tinsley lying
on Cain creek. in this county, and mea-
surfing about 49S acres. for s5,29o-
about slO.57 per acre. :,
At meeting of the Baptist church
last night Mr.. John q. Miller, Jr., was
elected treasurer in place of Mr.. W. W.
Waddill. who that evening had ten
dered his resignation and insisted on the
acceptance of it. A rising vote OF thanks
was given Mr.. Waddill for long and
faithful service.
The total amount paid out to date for
the new building and lot was reported
at s3l,799.3S, and the amount from
the old building and parsonage pro-

Increased Output OF Coal-Round Mountain
and Other Items.

Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch
TAZEwELL G.. H., Jan. %. 1885.
Seven hundred miners are on the pay
rolls of the Southwest Virginia I'M
pr0yement Company, and the output OF
coal and coke is largely increased.
Owing to the precaution that has been
taken there appears to be no longer any
apprehension of an explosion in the
mines. There is some talk of pool
being established between the company
operating at Pocahontas and the various
interests OH the new branch or the Flat
Top companies.
1t is reported here to-day that Cap
tain W. +. Perry has sold half inter-
est in his famous Round Mountain pro-
pcrty to Captain Hartman Newberry,
of Bland. This survey, comprising some
thirty thousand acres. Is considered the
richest iron property in the State. and
has on il several thousand acres of
splendid white pine timber-probably
the ONLY extensive body of that wood IN
the State, or perhaps the South. Coal
also abounds on the property. and cop
per appears in the immediate vicinity.
The whole tract was sold three years
ago to Mr.. Frazier. of Boston, who made
payment of $4,000 on it. In conse-
ouence. however, of his death, and the
collapse of the Richmond and South
western railway scheme, the property
reverted. together with the advanced
payment. to the original owner.
We have had no snow yet OF any
consequence, and the constantly recur-
ring changes from extreme cold to
moderate weather have destroyed the
wheat crops beyond probable recovery.
The late Mr. Stras. although ex-
trcmely rcticcnt about his progenltorS,
descended from a prominent German
family. His father came to this coun-
try in consequence Of political comph-
cations at home.
Another batch Of our people will
start to New Orleans next week. On
their return they will make hurried
tour of Florida, with a view. Perhaps
of establishing winter home IN that
delightful cline.
Democrats here are rejoiced over the
reelection of Nirginia's honorary mem
Der of the Senate, Governor Vance, and
hope that the fact Of the suggestion
coming from a Mahonc-ridden county
will not prevent leading VirginianS from
comforting upon him some suitable teS-
timonial in recognition Of his gallant
championship.
There are no new cases of diphthera
in our immediate vicinity in fact there
is less sickness of any kind than usual.

The Illinois Legislative Situation.
rpv talevro nh Tn the Dispatrh.1


SPRINGFIELD, ILL, January IT,
After q brief session this afternoon the
Assembly adjourned till Tomorrow
without taking q vote upon the perma-
nent speakership, owing to the absence
of . number Of Democratic members.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, January IL
A dispatch received here last evening
states that State-Senator Bridges Demo
craft, of Carrollton, was stricken with
paralysis, and is in precarious condi-
ton. He has been in infirm health for
some time and threatened with the dis
order which has at last come upon him.
It is believed by those who are advised
of his situation that he will not be able
to return to the Legislature. This re-
port has occasioned great deal of con-
Germ here on the part of politicians.
The interest of his personal friends
in his welfare is quite overshadowed
by the discussion that is going on as to
the new phase the senatorial question
must assume in the event either of his
death or continued absence. Demo-
Gratis are already planning as to how
they shall proceed in the event of their
losing his vote on the senatorship. In
addition to the news about the unfortu-
nate senator, word has been received
that Mr.. Choisser, Of Saline, is sick
and will not be here before Wednesday
night. This, Of course, means no per-
manent organization of the House be-
fore Thursday, unless other Republic
cans Join Sittig in voting for Haines.

papers and reproduced in the Norfolk
papers, have convinced the doubling
Thomases that the Laird party who
identified the remains told straight
story when in Norfolk, and the excite
ment has subsidized. The manner in
which Smelling met his death is as yet
a mystery, but his relatives evidently
think he committed suicide.
The members ofthe Pickett-Buchanan
Camp, Confederate Veterans, held their
annual meeting last night and elected
!. Colonel j. Richard Lewellen, Of the
Ledger, commander in place of Captain
James Barron Hope, Of the Landmark,
Captain Hope declining to serve during
another term Of Office. The treasurer's
report shows that the receipts for the
year were sl0,973.32; disbursements,
s2,6G4.40; leaving balance in bank
Of ss. 30S.92 to the credit Of the Camp.
The committee appointed to investi-
gate the Mayors charges against the po-
lice met last night and formulated re-
port, but for the present it is not made
public.
The coal business Of the Norfolk and
Western Railroad Company is increas-
ing daily, and there are now more YES
sells in port for coal and more coal on
the ground than ever before. The com
pany say they will be ready for work
at Lambert's Point on the LIST of Feb
ruary. ELLA.
