BOTETOURT COUNTY.
.,.a,b or Mr.. Thomas e.. Goodwin.


Correspondent ofthe Richmond Dispatch~l
F1NCAsTLE, September III, 1885.
Mr.. Thomas G. Goodwin died at his
residence here this afternoon. Mr..
Goodwin was born in Roanoke county IN
1909. lie had spent the greater por-
ton Of his long life in this town, having
come here when young man--a6out
1899 or lS3O-as the confidential clerk
of Mr.. Robert Kyle, who was dong
large merchandising business, with
capi,al which in those days was re-
garded as enormous. At his death Mr..
KYLE gave each of his five clerks lega-
cy of IS. GOO, and made Mr.. Goodwin his
executor. For few years after Mr.
Kvle's death Mr.. Goodwin was employed
by Messrs. Bowyer & Gardner in their
store. Subsequently he entered mer-
chandising for himself, and did
thriving business until the
beginning of the war. After the
war he closed out his merchandising
business. and when the Bank Of fin-
castle (of which he was the principal
stockholder) was organized in 1870 he
became the cashier, which position
he held until his death. He attended
actively to all his duties with prompt
ness and accuracy until about three
months ago, when his health gave way
and he was forced to retire from busi-
ness. Mr.. Goodwin was for many years
a Justice Of the peace, and from 1898
to the opening of the war was presiding
Justice of the County Court. About
eighteen months ago he celebrated his
golden wedding. On that occasion
three persons were present who wit
messed his marriage fifty years ago.
Two of these had acted as attendants at
his marriage. No man who ever lived
in Fincastle was held in higher esteem
bv the people than was Mr.. Goodwin,
and his usefulness to the community
cannot well lie estimated. He had ten
children, six of whOm-four sons and
two daughters-suryiye him. Three OF
his sons live in Fincastle the other son
and the two daughters live in another
county. Mr.. Goodwin was leading and
prominent member of the Episcopal
Church. and, when his health was good,
was never known to fail to attend the
regular services at his church.

SAVED FROM SINKING CRAFT.
The RObinson's crew Have Three DAYS
Pail nt the Pumps.

Ten very grateful men (eight Of them
colored) were found by Herald report
er in the shipping office Of j. II. Win
chester & Co., No. 81 South street.
They were the crew of the New York
hermaphrodite brig c. c. Robinson.
who had been rescued from the vessel
when it was in sinking condition by
the schooner Isaac Carleton, Of Maine.
= Captain J. II. Clark related the par
ticulars of disaster which sent a popu-
lar and able little vessel to Dayy
Jones's locker. According to his story
the crew had a tough time Of it, and
when they were picked up were in a
position Of grave peril. The brigantinc
was bound from Cardenas to PhIladel-
phia with load OF sugar. At ii
o'clock at night, August 3lst, when in
latitude 80 degrees % minutes, longi-
tude 70 degrees 6 minutes, she was
struck by hurricane from the east
northeast. The glass had given warn
ing of the storms approach, and all

theless the vessel was laid on
her beam ends and held there
for three quarters Of an hour, when
the wind fell and allowed her to re-
sumo an upright position. Then sud-
denly a SECOND blast from the east
southeast struck her like a catapul,.
The spars went over like so much
chafi-the foremost and everything st
tachcd, the jibboom, the maintopmsst,
malnbOom, cathead, and starboard an
Choir. The vessel was again laid on
her side, aud under the terrific strap
began to leak in an alarming manner.
When the wind fell the men were put
at the pumps, and kept steadily at
work for three days and nights but
the water gained upon them, and on
the morning of September Sd there
was found TO be seven feet Of water in
the hold.
About l o'clock that morning the
exhausted crew met direful disap-
pointment. The lights of steamer
were deserted bearing down upon them,
and it was hoped that Succor was near.
Captain Clark burned three torch-lights
as signalo Of distress. Immediately the
steamer changed her course, as he be-
lieves purposely. At o'clock, how
ever, the schooner Carleton hove in
sight, saw the signals Of distress, and
bore down upon the wreck. A stiff
wind was blowing and a nasty cross
sea was stirred up. but the captain of
the schooner sent boat and took the
Robinson'S crew on board his own YES
sci, where they were most kindly
treated. Later in the day the brig
sank in twenty-five fathoms Of water.
Captain Clark was very enthusiastic
regarding the assistance given him by
Captain l.. L. Brisko, the master of the
schooner, and said he deserved medal
for his courage and humanity.
The c. Z. Robinson is well known in
these waters. having traded from New
York for the past eleven years. She
never had an accident before. She had
just been fitted out with complete set
Of new spsrs and masts at an expense
Of 5000. The vessel was partially ill.,

TO the Editor If the Dispatch:
Ny attention has been called to an
article in the wing Of September ia,
in which it is stated that last spring
uoochland county was in arrears to pub
lic-school teachers to the amount Of $42j.
which should have long ago been pa,i.
One Of our districts-Byrd-of which
Mr.. K. y. Turner is clerk, oyerdrew
its apportionment 4244.4o. which the
treasurer, Of course, dill not pay. The
district was consequently IN debt to its
teachers to this amount. and no more.
Our school session commences in Sep
TENDER or October, and for all practical
purposes the collection oftaxes does not
commence until December LIST, when the
books pass into the hands Of the col
lectors.
There are fortv-fiye schools in the
county. costing about an average of
e22 per month per school. or an aggre-
gate of goo per month and as each
school has made from two to three
months by Christmas. it is easy to see
that the treasurer coRid BE- IN a,redrs.
Yet the fact remains that he meets
promptly all reasonable demands Of
teachers aud last winter had at one
time advanced (aboye his collection Of
revenue for that purpose about sl2
to the teachers of the county. Such
statements as that contained in the
Wing of the 4th are misleading and a
reelection on the officers of the public
school system. and to all intents and
purposes untrue. +. :. REEVE,

On Thursday night last fight occurred
in a gamLling-house here, in which an
unknown Mexican, who was the agrees
sor. was worsted. lie left the place
after the row and was not seen again
until about 4:30 o'clock Friday morn
ing. when he made his appearance with
a repeating rifle and belt of cartridges.
When he arrived there were about
forty men in the saloon, and the
Mexican, who was on the sidewalk,
commenced shooting Unfortunately
into the crowd. His first shot struck
Dave Hickey in the jawneaf the ear, and
in its course tore offs portion ofhis upper.
lip, coming out Of his mouch. The
next shot struck James Kehoe in the
left cheek bone went through to his
neck, and ranged downward into his
back. 1t is not expected that he will
recover. George Sales received the
next shot through the left Shout
der, but it is not thought the
wound is fatal. Jack Welch received
a shot in the foot, the bullet coming
out at his heel. Another shot just
grazed the elbow of Frank Gardiner.
The Mexican fired fifteen shots into the
saloon in rapid succession. After
cleaning out this saloon he went far
;her up the street and fired two shots
into Pierce's saloon and two shots into
Curtin's saloon, and then disappeared
into the canon. As he was dis
appearing soldier fred four
shots at him without effect. No
steps were taken to capture the asSas-
sin until daylight, when citizens started
in search. About 9 o'clock he was
found in a Mexican house in bed,
Mexican woman putting wet cloths
upon his face, which had been cut.
After getting all the evidence that was
necessary a rope was procured and the
assassin taken up the canon and hanged
to tree.

Cost Of English Ynchfs.


Though the discomforts which for
meIly attended racing have been re-
moved, the great increase in the initial
cost and the heavy expense OF keeping
a racing yacht in commission deters
many keen sailors from joining In the
pastime. Roughly estimated, a first
class racing yacht of composite con-
structos--that is, steel frames planked
with wood and sheathed with copper
classed q years at Lloyds', and without
upholstering extra,agances of any kind,
will cost, if of 20 tons yacht measure
ment, about eLs00; Of 40 tons, 80, 500;
of 90 tons, 81 200. The suits of canvas
which would be included in the above,
but which might have to be renewed at
the commencement of the season, would
cost for ii cotton boat GOO; lotion
boat, f450; cotton boat, G650. The
cost Of raclug, inclusive of fitting out
and lay ing up, would be for Cotton
boat, 5000; a 40-ton boat, $1,000 :;
and cotton boat. 80 200. Men ;
wages would run away with a large
proportion, the captain being paid from
else to goo. and more according to
ability, while allowed from to 10 per
cent. on the winnings, whether in cups
or money. The members of the crew
get 2Gs. por week, and have during the
