Dynamite near McGaheysvllle.

There has been going the rounds of the
city press, an item to the effect that a num-
Der of persons had been seriously injured
by dynamite, near McGaheysville, in this
county. We subjoin the following facts,
furnished us reliable correspondents:
MCGAHEYsvILLE, Va, Dec. 81, 'SS.
The colored people of this community
held festival at the school house on the
pike, II miles below this place, on the even
ing of Dec Goth. After they had closed-out
all their eatables at the school house they
repaired to the house of ore of their num-
bsr, Moses Jackson, who lives near, in or
der to have dance Whilst the sport was
in progress, between II and 10 O'Clock, a
cry of fire. was raised. The building was
frame and net sealed, and through the
cracks near one corner could be seen the
fzzing aud sp1ttering of a fuse. Some one
cried out, run! it ia dynamite! and pell mel.
ths crowd rushed from the building. Two
of the crowd, however, were too slow in
making their exit, and the explosion occur
red just as they we're passing near the dan
gerous corner Albert White was blown 25
or 30 feet and considerably bruised, but not
seriously. Lizzie SIMS was more seriously
hurt, her arm being badly bruised, if not
broken, and injured internally.
1t seems there were number of colored
men who had been away at work on some
railroad, and were home for the Christ mas
holidays, and it is thought that some of
them placed the dynamite in the building.
So far no arrests have been made.

THE PROPERTY LEASED TO STRONG AND Ex.
PERIENCRD IRON MEN.-IMPRovEMENTs To
BE RAPIDLY MADE WILL Go INTO BLAST
IN MAY.
The large and valuable iron-works properly
near Goshen on the line of the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railway. which has been idle several
years, will soon be adding its great capacity in
production of metal, and become the hardin
ger, 1t ia to be hoped, OF a revival In this SEQ
tion of the iron Industry.
The property, as Is doubtless known, is owned
by English capitalists who neither spared
pains nor expense in its erection and in an
elegant outfit in necessary buildings. To ad-
just the claims against 1t involved legal procs-
dure, and thus 1t came under the Jurisdiction
of the Circuit Court OF Rockbridgs.
Captain Thomas D. Ransom and Major B. Il.
Catlett. who were agents of the owners of the
property, were appointed commissioners by
the Court to make proper disposition of 1t.
They have disposed of 1t by lease to Messrs.
Chamberlain. Wheeler e. Company of Column
bus. Ohio. experienced iron men who are we'll
provided with means to place the property in
nrlt-elAss working condition. This, 1t 10 sx-
pectsd. will be accomplished by tho first OF
May. and these new works. from which 20
much was anticipated whom erected, will have
future free from disappointment and blight
with enduring realization.

YEAR OF PEACE-The year 1889 begins
with favorable auguries. If the pacific ex-
pean potantates can be accepted as trust
worthy Indications of the future course of
events. The Emperor of Germany and the
king of Italy concur with the Austro Hun.
garian and English premiers in utterances
not only pacific In tone, but protesting very
considerable confidence that the mkt twelve
months are to be without war in Europe.
The basis of this confidence is not very clearly
discerned, though the continuing in efficiency
OF the hussian army. as compared with that
whemins strength of the triple alliance are
supposed to form large part ofit. The new
grounds of confidence, apparent to every
observer, are tbs successes achieved by Prince
Ferdinand in Bulgaria and King Milan in
servia In thwartidg Russias schemes for
throwing Southeastern Europe into disorder.
Bulgaria's affairs are managed with firm
ness and discretion which have paralyzed
every effort OF the Panslavists to turn the
affections and hopes OF the people toward the
Cxar.-Bak. Ssua.

There were two Hebrew gentlemen of
Paris and one of London who last Spring
made pool and bought all the pig tin in
the world and as much fer future delivery
as they could They had cash capital OF
twenty five million of dollars. In conss-
queucs of their combination and operation
the price Of Tin went up from twenty-odd
cents per pound to forty, and the three poor
but euterprising Hebrews cleared, it is said,
about hundred million dollars. When the
price got high enough they began to sell
aud gradually unloaded. When the prizes
of tin went back near to the point at which
their futures were deliverable they merely
released their contracts. This is an illus
tration of the extremity to which some nen
are reduced in order to make living.
These poverty cursed fellows could not get
along on their $50, 900, 900, SO they had to
make a combination by which they could
chiasel the consumers of tin cut of many
millions more. There are bandits in the
commercial world az vel! as on the Obscure
highways of the earth, and their methods
are protected BY the forms of Law. The
operation of Mr.. Hutchinson, of Chicago, in
wheat short time ago was tine work of a
commercial highEaymau, just as this tin
operation was.-Indec-Appeol.

To the Farmers of the Valley.

Eutf0T spectator;
There was published in the city papers q list
of delegates to the Farmers Assembly, which
convenes In Richmond on the 18th of January,
1889. My object In addressing this commune
cation 10 you is to beg of you to zee that they
attend, and not only that they attend, but In
doing SO they come full handel. Let tn EN-
supply themselves with information, about
all that they would ask about If they were 60
ing to a new country. and especially let them
post themselves about the profits OF farming
In their particular sections, Including fair
price for house rent, garden, Ore wood, fruit,
butter, eggs, fowls. meat, tread. and all the
produce of the farm they consume npon it. aud
which they would have TO bay, TO live as they
do, If engaged in soma other calling aud so
arrive at a basis to fl per cent. of prof t..
These are largely greater here than in the
North aud West and the eyes of that section
are upon US. Let US show them our resources
and give them hearty welcome, put our
lands at fair prices, and we will no longer have
to gTieve over untitled acres, idle water power,
unfeisd forests and siumbering stores OF min
erals. All that is need is for the people to take
hold and hold up the hand OF the Board of Ag-
riculture and new era awaits the Old Do
mininn,. The first step in this direction is a
large and entbus,as' ic attendance in the
Farmers Assembly TO speak the sentiments OF
the tillsr OF the soil "offlcally.''

Mr.. Pugh was right when, in the U, s.
Senate Thursday, he said ''no policy of ad-
ministration could ever break the solid
South as long as the existence of the negro
made the supremacy of the white race alb
solutely necessary; not that the negro should
suffer any deprivation or dstriment in the
possession aud enjoyment of all personal
and property rights, but that in matters of
civil government the white man alone must
rule in all parts of this country" This is not
only in accordance with what all Southern
men interested in the welfare of their ooun-
try think on the same subject, but is also
what no reputable Northern white man,
who has lived 10 the South long enough to
understand the true condition of affairs
here, will deny.-Aler. Gazette.
