ashburu yoyner I'm Richmond.

Ashburn Towner is travelling through
the South for the Elmira Telegram and
writing up the places he visits. His
fair and manly letters are not only in
teresting. but are calculated to do a
great deal Of good. He sees that there
are some good things in the South, and
does not hesitate to bear testimony to
the fact His two letters from Rich
mond are excellent pieces of work. He
visited, among other points of interest,
Valentines studio. and has this to say
of the artist and his work:
doubt if North there is a tomb
that is regarded with as reyerent feel
ings as is that of General Lee at the
Washington and Lee University at Lex
ington, in this State unless it may be
the last rcsting-place Of Abraham Lin
coin in Illinois; certainly there Is no
tomb in the country marked by a more
fitting or striking monument. As a
work of art it has not attracted that at
tention which it deserves. Virginia Is
very proud of it and Of the Vrginan
who modelled it. 1t is known as the
Rccumbcnt Lee" and was doubtless
suggested by the stone figures of the
kings and mobiles that adorn Westminster
Abbey or some of the more noted old
churches in England.
The studio Of Valentine is very Justly
one of the - lions " of Richmond. lie
is the artist of the bust of The Ma
tons Ward" well-known work.
Valentine is now engaged on large
statue of Andromachc and AstynyaX,
an IIomeric suggestion. and one. when
finished. likely to take rank with the
finest ideal works in existence. \
figure of his in Hollywood cemetery Of
d" Grief" or - Sorrow is one of the
most remarkable examples Of the eX
pressiyc power of marble that ever
met. 1t is a female figure bowed down
in anguish and woe, and it at once

HORSEWHIPPED BYA WOMAN
A Bacheior OF cleveland Publicly Chastised
BY a Whilom >wee thenri.

A Cleveland special says: Seth
Franklin, bachelor, for some time had
paid his addresses to Mrs. Lena Knight, a
young widow residing near him. Frank
lin had obtained a promise Of marriage
from the widow, and the wedding fes-
tiyities should have taken place last
Christmas. In the mean time, however.
Seth fell in love with young girl liv-
ing in the neighborhood more beautiful
than the widow. Christmas came and
went. Franklin refused to entertain any
oyertures of marriage with Mrs. Knight,
and at last she wrote him a note giving
notice that she would shoot him on
sight.
This morning while Franklin was
walking on Broadway Mrs. Knight sud
denly stole up behind him, and drawing
out huge black-snake whip from be-
meath her shawl commenced to belabOr
him with it. A crowd congregated, and
Franklin, being unable to force his way
from the irate woman's presence, fell
down on his knees and begged her to
desist. The crowd yelled at and jeered
him. and after laying the whip on her
backsliding lover until she became tired,
Mrs. Knight made long speech reci-
ting her wrongs in highly dramatic
manner. Seth managed to get away
during the recital. and swears he will
have the woman arrested.

Egypt, drove in state to the Foreign OF
flee to-day. Musurus Pasha, the Turk
ish Ambassador, introduced Fehmi to
Earl Granville. A long conference en-
sued. After this Count Munster gave
long explanation to Earl Granville Of

mittee Of inquiry which the Powers
propose to have investigate the financial
condition of Egypt will comprise the
present members of the Caisse dc Ia

German and Russian delegates and the

which was rejected by England at the
conference last spring.

FRY te,egra Nh TO the Dispatch

PHILADELPHIA, January 20.-De-
spite rumors to the contrary, there
is little doubt that the Pennsylvania
and Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
panics will agree to pool their btu
minous coal business during the COM
ing wear. The main features of the
pool have all been agreed upon and it
only remains to arrange few of the
minor details, which. it is stated, will
claim attention at the meeting to be
held tomorrow OF Thursday. The
Pennsylvania Railroad Company is to
be allowed So per cent. and the Balti-
more and Ohio As per cent. of
the total tonnage Of the two
companies from the Clearfield and
Cumberland regions. An allowance
of 500, 900 tons has been made to the
Norfolk and Western road, and 700.-
600 tons to the new branch Of the Phil
adelbhia and Reading Railroad Com
pany into the Clearfeld region. known
as the Beach-Creek, Clarified and
Southwestern railroad. 1t is estimated
that the Pennsylvania railroad and the
Baltimore and Ohio carry yearly from
the two soft-coal sections reached by
their lines upwards Of 100000 tons.
Not all Of this, however. reaches tide
water, Pennsylvania using something
like l,20O, 900 tons of coal on its own
lines. The companies are reported to
have agreed upon maintaining as the
price throughout the coming year 1926

the same rate which prevails atpresent.

Recent Explorations.

VI. Beliavski. a Russian expert, has
Just returned from a long and very care
ful survey of the great USt-Crt plateau.
which lies between the Aral Lake, the
OXus. and the Caspian sea. Ever since
Colonel PerOySki's Inflated expedition
against Khiya was all but annihilated
ON this exposed plain by the terrible
winter of lS39-'40. the Ust-Crt has
been name of evil omen in the ears Of
Russia, and the circuitouS route by
Orenburg and the northern end Of the
Arai Lake has become the rccOg-
nized highway into Central Asia. NJ.
Bcliavski. however, declares that the
difficulties the st-Urt route have been
greatly oVerrated. and that its superior
directness being upward Of 800 miles
shorter than the present route cid Oren-
burn makes it well worth while to over
come those which really exist. His
proicct-which has just been submitted
to the approval of the Russian Geo
graphical Society includes the con-
Struction of a wagon road from the
OxuS to the town of khiya. the estab-
lishment of steamers upon the OXus

communication between AStrakhan (the
