THE festival in Dorsey Hall on Tues
day and Wednesday evenings was
more successful socially than financi-
ally. Everything was very nicely
arranged, and those who patronized it
were much pleased. The bad weather
on Wednesday evening was possibly
somewhat detrimental; but it remains
a fact that so well arranged an affair
should have received much more en-
cnnragement.

of some kind left, but because the best

simply because he does not have any
second-class business done.

Our readers have doubtless often noticed
that Hoods SaIsaparilla is well spoken Of
the newspapers. The press is quick to rec

praise where it is due. The following is

paper;
Advertising may bring an article promi-
nentlv before the public, but no advertising

WILLIAMsvILLE is in a ferment,
because of the cowardly assault Of some
vicious rascal upon Mrs. Scott. The
Scott residence was visited by the ruff
fan when Mrs. Scott was alone and
the door forced by some instrument.
No attempt was made at burglary, but
Mrs. Scott was assaulted and beaten in
terrible manner, from the effects o?
which she is now i'm very precariOus
condition. This is the third time she
has suffered this shameful treatment
and suspicion seems to point to her
enemy as one who lives in that vicin-
ity, though at first it was blamed upon
the tramps. Public indignation is
much aroused against the offender, and
if his Identify can be established
while his crime Is yet fresh in mind,
it Is not improbable he will meet JUS
tiee at the hands of Judge Lynch.
The buildings and harvested crops,
together with part of the stock and
most of the farm machinery and tools
on the Hopkins farm, near Laws
Chapel were destroyed by fire on Sun
day evening. During the thunder
storm which visited this section, the
lightning struck and set fire to the
straw stacks near Mr.. Hopkins sta.
bles, and the large quantity of straw
was soon in a lurid blaze which
reached out its destructive flame in q
mighty sheet almost enveloping the
buildings. The position of the wind
was such that little could be done tC
save the buildings or contents. About
700 bushels of wheat beside quantity
of other grain, was stored in the gran
cries. Mr. Hopkins is u progressive
farmer, and the machinery and imple
ments were quite valuable. The owner
had delivered 100 bushels Of wheat ,anC
had $500 insurance in the Kent County
Mutual on the buildings destroyed
His actual loss above insurance viii
be 81 200 or 81, 300.

The Glass Workers.

PIrTsBURa, Jan. 3.-H. Sellers Mckee, q
prominent flint glass manufacturer, in an in
tervew states that the number of firms
which would shut down their glass factories
on account of the trouble with their EN-
ployees was 40, and the number of skilled
workmen employed, over eight thousand,
to which should be added two or three
thousand other workmsn, making total
of ten or eleven thousand men whom the
shutdown would throw out Unemployment.
Workmen other than those actually en-
gagged in making and shaping the glass
would probably work until the stock in
hand was exhausted. 1t is understood the
difficulty is to be solved by committee
from the flint glass workers association
" hose decision is to be final for the work
men in oil factories.

Death of GEN. TrimbIe.

Major. General Isaac R. Trimble died 10
Baltimore yesterday. He was born in Gull
pepper county, Va, May Is, 1902. His faith
err JohnTrimble, went in 1905 to Kentucky,
and settled in the military reservation at
Fort Sterling. He entered as cadet at
West Point in 1918. He graduated in 1922.
and was one of those appointed by the gov.
erument to survey the military road from
Washington to the Ohio river. He resigned
In 1882, and pursued the profession of civil
engineer. He was chief engineer and gu.
perintendent Of the Philadelphia. Whining
ton and Baltimore Railroad and chief engi.
neer of the Boston and Providence Railroad.
He is supposed to have been the oldest
living graduate of West Point Military
Academy at the time of his death.
Gen. Trimble entered into the service of
the State of Virginia in May, 1861, as colonel
of engineers, and was ordered by Gen. Lee
to take charge of the construction of the
forts and field works for the defense of
Norfolk. After the successful completion
of these defeDses he was appointed briga-
dier.general ny the Confederate government,
and ordered to Join Gen. Joseph E.
Johnston at Centreville, Va. Under in
structions from the War Department,
Gen. Johnston directed him to con.
struct batteries at Transport, on the
Potomac river. to close the river against the
navigation of United States vessels. These
batteries were speedily erected, without the
knowledge of the enemy, and partially
blockaded the river during the winter of
1861 g. In November he took command
of the Seventh Brigade. in Gen. Ewell's Di.
vision, and when Gen. Ewell was ordered to
Join Gen. Jackson, in the spring OF '62, in
the Valley of Virginia, Gen. Trimble, With
the brigade, took part in all the battles Of
the Valley. from that at Front Royal to the
close of Gen. Jackson's Valley campaign at

Pickett's division in The third days battle,
commanding Pender's division on Picketts
right. He was wounded, lost leg and taken
prisoner He remained 10 prison at John
sons Island and Fort Warren for twenty one
months. Most earnest and continued efforts
were made to effect his release, which was
only accomplished in February, 1865, by
giving the major generals Crook and Kelly,
in exchange for him.
The future historian will dwell with admi.
ration and praise upon the splendid quail
ties of the Southern infantry, and the histo-
ry of the Seventh Brigade furnishes bril-
liant example. Their unsurpassed bravery
and wonderful endurance in the four years.
war caused the promotion of seven briga-
diers and six major generals. OF all the
soldiers whom Maryland furnished to the
Southern cause, Gen. Trimbe performed the
most distinguished services, obtained the
highest rank, and won the greatest fame.
Gen. Robert E. Lees high estimate Of
his military prowess was sufficiently shown
in offering him the command of the Valley
Of Virginia.

IT Is now intimated that one of the fea'
SONS for the delay in the confirmation OF
Secretary Lamar, as Associate Justice of the
U. s. Supreme Court, is that his social
standing is not high enough to entitle him
to that position. This is ridiculous, and is
only alluded to in order that it's absurdity
may be seen. The idea of such men as now
compose the U. S. Senate Directing to
man on account of his social standing! And
that man, too, Lamar, member of what
republican politicians are pleased to call
Southern arissocracy, while nobody knows
who the republican Senators who oppose his
confirmation are, some of them, as Mr..
Mitchell, of Oregon. having even changed
their names after reaching manhood.

FROM Mr.. BLAINE, down to the Northern
republican who expects the lowest office
under his administration. should he be
elected, the cry OF all of them is for free
vote aud fair count in the South. And
yet Mr.. Bullock. the OK carpetbag Governor
of Georgia, who is such pronounced repub'
llcan that he even favors the nomination OF
the fraud Hayes for President, says:
SIN recent elections in Georgia, Texas,
Virginia, Tennessee and North Carolina, the
negro vote was in no wise suppressed, and
the negro had as much freedom and security
and protection as the white voter. In some
fthe elections there was DO issue at stake
In which the negro voters had any substan-
tial interest. In the Georgia elections,
where there was an issue at stake directly
touching all citizens. nearly the entire
colored vote of our city was polled and
counted"
What Mr.. Bullock says is fact as we'll
known in the South as any thing elss. But
the vast majority of republican politicians
have little use for facts when incorrect
statements stand them in better stead, even
though the facts be attesteG by their own
witnesses.
