6cer for Calling Him n Liar.
DANvL1E, Va, August 2~9.-[Special lin
North Danyille this afternoon there occurred
what might be termed an official fight. Nathan
Fitzgerald. a member of the City Council Of
the young and ambitious city of North Dan
vile. this morning found his Jersey calf in
pounded on a charge Of having been at large
last night against the peace and dignity OF
North Danville. The Councilman met Officer
White, of the police force, who II seems
arrested the calf, and accused him of taking
the animal from his (titzgerald'sl private
premises. Officer White declared the state
ment to be a lie. whereupon the councilman
Jumped upon the policeman and literally
mopped up the earth with him. leaving him
with two black eyes that stood out like knots
on a gum tree. The mayor will have a say
in the matter at the first sitting OF his court.
This week the receipts of leaf tobacco were
small. the total sales amounting to only
40. $50 pounds. The news from all over the
tobacco growing sections Is to the effect that
the continued wet weather and the rayages
of the flea bug have damaged the
crop in the hill fully 60 per cent.
This intelligence had its effect upon the
market and caused figures to advance all
along the line. Everything. even cutters,
were higher. Wrappers and filters showed a
heavier advance than any other types. Leaf
dealers, with large stocks on hand. look with
great complacency on the damage 10 the
growing crop. Truly it is a good thing for
them. The shipments Of manufactured stocks
for the week amounted to 1870 pounds.
p. T. Flynn. the foreman Of the Atlantic
and Danville railroad shops, who was injured
Thursday night by being run over in the

Deceased was q good man and an excellent
mechanic. He came to Virginia several years
ago from Altoona. Pa, where he was reared.
His remains. accompanied by his wife. left
here to-day for Altoona, to be buried there.
The cold wave struck Danville about ~
o'clock to-day. The weather has been damp

FIRST THIS COUNTRY.
A New Haven Patient Under Lymph
Ireatment Dies.

George NJ Bradley, who was the first
patient in this country to receive the
Koch lymph incubation, died at New
Haven, Conn, on the ID, and the son
of Prof. Blake, another lymph patient,
who has been under treatment for near
~ two months, is at the point OF death.
Bradley was but little over 80 years
of age. and was not in an
advanced stage of consumption
when he began receiving treat
ment. Previously he was not confined
to the house, but during his treatment
he has been. During the past few
weeks he suffered intensely as the
treatment had distressing effect upon
his throat, making it difficult and ex-
tremely painful for him to take any
nourishment. His physicians state that
his death was undoubtedly FASTENED by
the condition of bis throat, as his
strength disappeared very fast because
of his inability 10 take. food. He has
been receiving injections since very
early IN December.
