Lynchburg and the Tariff.

LYNcHBuRG, Va, March 24.-The
Chamber of Commerce of this city,
after an elaborate discussion, to night
adopted the following, which was or
dered to be sent to the Speaker of
the House of Representatives and
the Virginia delegation in Congress.
"Whereas it has been publicly an
nounced that the committee of ways
and means of the House of Repre-
sentatives has recommended thatiron,
sulphur, copper, and all other ores
not specifically named, and soft coal
and coke shall be admitted into the
United States free of duty: and
whereas we believe such removal of
tariff, if accomplished, would not on
ly be fatally injurious to the mining
interest now in operation, but would
effectually prevent any further de
velopments of the immense mineral
resources of Virginia: Therefore be it
"ReS0loed, That the sense of the
Chamber of Commerce of Lynchburg
is in favor not only of retaining present
duties on ores and their products,
but also of increasing them should
any change be made.o

m Special Notice. Ima

WE would cali the attention of our Gus.
toners to the depressed condition of the
egg market. From indications prices will
not rally for long time, as receipts in
the city continue largely in excess of the
demand. For the past two weeks many
people have been holding their eggs for
better prices. We would respectfully o
tify the trade that next month, when this
old stock comes in, it will necessitate our
examining every egg and only paying for
good ones. Costly experience makes this
ste p important, and we wish our friends
to understand we do not issue this notice
with the object of forcing anyone to sell,
but simply to protect us from heavy los s.
es. Yours Truly,

A Remarkable Suicide.

BALTIMORE, Md, March %
Adolph Goedel, aged twenty-four, a
clerk in the employ of the tobacco
firm of Gail & AK, committed suicide
by shooting himself through the
heart. The work of self-destruction
was done in closet of the. Gail & AK
building, on Barre street. Young
Goebel left note addressed to the
Waterman in which he stated that
the best thing that could be done
with his dead body would be to pitch
it into the harbor, or if that was not
convenient, to throw him into the fur
mace for fuel.

4 NEW L1BOR ORDER.

A new labor order is being formed
in New England as q rival to the
Knights of Labor. 1t is called the
Knights of Industry, and will in
clude in its members hand and brain
workers, combining capital and la.
Dor, and we suppose will guarantee
to every man the right to work with
out asking the permission of any or
ganization. Strikes will be discour-
aged, and the settlement of Difficult
ties by arbitration will be the lead
ing doctrine of the order. This looks
like the boycotters might in turn
themselves be boycotted.

They are at the White House all the

Yet they are the potential voice at

bottle of DuLac's 'SwIss BALsoM," the
Great Cough Remedy for children, and its

able remedy is sold by A. M.Gilbert, drug

West Virginia Red Men.

PARKERsBURG, w. Va, March 23.-
Intelligence has just come from
Richie Court house of diabolical
attack by the notorious Red Men or
ganization upon the residence of
Robert Glover, near Southville.
About twenty-five disguised men sur
rounded the house and called to
Glover to come out. He refused,
when they saturated portion of the
weather boarding of the house with
coal oil and fired it. The flames
shot upwards, and Glover, fearing to
remain inside, rushed out with shot
gun, firing into the crowd, and com
polling them to beat a retreat
While he was attempting to extin-
guish the fire, the men rallied and
began firing at Glover, who was forced
to retreat in the house. More oil
was then added to the fire. Mrs
Glover ran TO the stable, and was fired
on repeatedly as she fed. Her hus-
band remained in the house as long
as possible, keeping up constant
fire on his assailants, wounding two,
but being himself wounded. He
and his wife finally escaped to the
woods. His home and stable and all
his personal property were totally de-
stroyed. The outrage has excited
great indignation throughout Richie
county.

THE ANNUAL 1SSESSMENT.

On Thursday next, April lst, the
Assessors will commence the work
of collecting the value of property
owned by the people. We have not
yet seen the instructions forwarded
to Assessors, but presume they will
be very stringent and as far-reach-
ing as possible. Taking the value of
property as shown by the public
sales through this county, the out
look is not very hopeful for an in
crease in the amount of the assessa-
BILE basis. The value of credits
when solvency is doubtful or claim
disputed are to be estimated at prob
able worth, and investments are to
be rated at their market price, or if
no known market price, then at their
probable value. These, together
with the farmers products on hand
raised from taxed land, may keep
the basis up to former years, but
even that is doubtful. However,
the people may as well get ready for
the coming inquisition.

Inscribed to my friend, John Muth,
My friend is deadl Pray what is death?
trust, TO him It's perfect peace,
That from all pain and suffering
He has, at last, sweet release.
That yictory's chaplet crowns his brow
And he's with God, and happy now.
He was my friend. The gentle words
That marked our meetings eyermore,
Seem like the whisperings ofthe past,
Or echoes from some distant shore.
While thoughts of what he hoped to be,
Are strangely lingering yet with me.
! cannot think he's gone for e'er,
That we shall never see him more;
For that which dies ''shalI live again, -
Far purer, brighter than before
The spiritfeels no more decay
When it has burst these bonds of clay.
His dreams of life were full of hope,
All webbed and woofed with golden
thread.
He built as though to live for Ger
Yet now the hopeful bailder's dead!
The castle that he built SO well,
is monument for him who fell.
He wove another life with his.
And made 1.-TWO hearts to beat as one"
The weayer's dead, the loom is still,
And left the plan of life undone
Death woye for him a sombre pail,
Whose folds of darkness cover all.
Goodbye" my friend A fond goodbye
Will not speak the word FAREWELL!
How soon twill be that we shall meet
loving God alone can tell.
I'll trust and wait. On Him rely,
Till then, my friend, once more goodbye"

IN TIME.-Now is good time to
look into the condition of our corpora
ton, as regards sanitary matters. 1t
would not be a bad idea to have the
cutters cleaned out and the streets
cleaned up, at once. Warm weather is
fast approaching, and if mass of gar
bage and refuse is handy for the suns
rays to strike, dispensation of disease
and sickness will follow. The corpora
tion authorities have been quite prompt
in this regard, and attention needs
only to be attracted to have it abated as
far as it is possible to abate it. 1t would
seem cruel to strike all sources of an
noyance and disorder at once. But we
trust the time is not far distant when
the vile swearer on the public streets,
will be put in the sweat box for each
separate offense; when cows and pigs
will be kept off the streets; when the
salty smell of fish will be gone, and the
dealers made to keep them in clean and
proper places. The greatest nuisance
has not been mentioned, to-wit the
pavements. The only way to have ac-
tion in this particular case, is to make
you candidates for the council promise
to enforce the old law as it stands in
the ordinances of the town. Stick a
pin there, and the pavements will come.
