BLAINE KNOCKED OUT.

A Story of Thurman in His Best Days.
A veteran of the capitol, who has been a
quarter of a century a sentinel at the Sem
ate door, tells Chicago Herald cores
pondent he never but once saw so much in
toucation among senators as the other
night when the sill yer bIll passed, and that
was in 1878. By coincidence silvor bill
the Bland measure-Was then under con-
sideratlon. In the Office of the sergeant-at-
arms on that occasion a sidebeard was
spread with various wines and liquors and a
free lunch, and senators helped themselves
as often as they liked, and large numbers of
them too often for their own good. "The
mos dramatic scene ever witnessed in the
Senate chamber" says this veteran OBJ
server, occurred that night. James G.
Blaine and Allen G. Thurman were then
members of the Senate. They were not on
very good terms, and the Plumed Knight
was Watching for a chance to get even with
the Old Roman for scoring which the lat
Ter had given him. Late in the evening Mr..
thurman came into the Senate chamber
from the sergea t-at-arms' Office, aud it
was apparent he had been drinking. He
was unsteady on his pins. and some friends
walked In with him and helped him into his
cnalr. Blaine watched the proceeding like
nawE, and obviously concluded that this
was his chance, rose and addressed the
chalr. But it was at the senator from Ohio
mat his shafts were directed. He poured
Lorth torrent of sarcasm and ridicule,
ali the while walking toward Thur
mans desk and s aking his finger
~ tnat astonished old gentleman. Finally
plane reached Thurman's side, and with a
1s'ce concluding remark brought his fist
ooWn heavily upon the Old Romans desk
ana strode away to his seat. All eyes were
,urned upon Thurman. Every one present
Xhe" he must reply to this attack, and at
tue same time every one was sure he was in
sach mental condition that he would dis
grace himself. Evidently this was what
Diaine had counted on. But the sequel
showed that he had reckoned without his
Aos" Mr.. Thurman was not drunk, by any
aalsans, though to some extent under the in
Ilence. Slowly raising himself from his
QUAR-, amid quiet which was
painful and oppressive, he steadied
plnseh by resting his hands on the
cack of his chair and began. The
nrst word or two were mumbled, and q
9Sign was heard in all parts of the chamber.
ihiaihe's face wore a look Of triumph. But
MS Iubilation was short-lived. At the next
ssentence the Old Roman cleared his throat,
Drought himself together, and with miud
apparently as clear as bell and voice
.uat thrilled with contempt, sarcasm and
triumph, proceeded to give Mr.. Blaine one
VI tne worst iacketings he hes ever had in
puolc debate. To the surprise and delight
VI all, Thurman was at his very best, and in
,t, 1Sh minutes Blaine had been utterly routed.
Iue discussion was not personal, but argu-
mehtatlve, and Thurman left his antagonist
"o' an Inch of solid grou to stand upon.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.

AT meeting of the Pleasant Hill AL
lance, the committe appointed to draft
resolutions of the sense of said Alliance
upon the death of brother A. T. Buch-
anan, which occurred in Thompson Val
ley, February 17th., 1901, reported as
follows:
Whereas: An allwise Providence has
seen fit to remove from among us one of
our most Jealous members and from our
community one of its most useful citi-
zens, therefore,
Resolved: That in the death of brother
Buchanan this order has been deprived
of one of its most modest and unobtru-
sive, yet one of its most faithful and ef-
ficient workers, man whose devotion
to the principles of the Alliance never
failed or faltered, whose seat was never
vacant at our meetings during life and
whose counsel was always useful and
valuable: that we commend to the breth
rem the noble example left us by the de-
ceased for their emulation and guidance,
that though this bereavement casts
gloom and sadness over us and our
whole community, yet we humbly bow
in recognition of Him who ''doeth all
things well'.
Resolved; That we deeply sympathize
with the bereaved family and tender to
them this memorial in testimony that
we share their loss and feel their grief.
Resolved: That these resolutions be
spread upon the minutes of our order
and that copy be presented to the fam
lily of the deceased as memorial of our
appreciation of his worth and also pub
lished in county papers.

dfr. Editor.
Ihaye been looking over the pa
pers several days for the purpose
of finding report of the proceed
ings of q mass meeting advertised
to be held at Graham for the pur-
pose of securing increased trans
portation facilities. So far fail
to get such report. 1 presume the
meeting did not materialize-if it
did it must have suppressed it's
minutes.
The truth is we people of the
Clinch Valley could not exactly
see the utility of such step. We
had been watching with some de-
gree of satisfaction the long strides
the Norfolk and Western Railroad
Company had been making in
doublc-traclling, not only its main
line, but also its New River branch;
aud that with its accustomed en-.
crgy it had the road from Bluefield
to Rluestone Junction already
about open with double track. Our
observation is that each time we
travel along it's lines we see it's
sidings lengthened,and everywhere
increased facilities for enlarging
it3 business. From Norfolk to Nor
ton, to Pocahontas, to Elllhorn, to
Ironton, along the Scioto Valley
this road is reaching out it's Bria-
rion arms and bringing together
our Goals and iron, stimulating
furnaces and iron. factories in
every dircc' ion, at present carry
ing to market with reasonable dis
patch every commodity we offer
for shipment. From my observa-
tion a local freight, each way over
the Cl.nch Valley Division Of this
road, is more than sufficient to
carry all the freights thus far of
iered, with celerity and certainty.
Perhaps there is not special
freight required once month.
These hunters for increased facili-
ties for transportation might do
better by massing capital in new
Industries and make moro freight
for the roads already open to carry
before raising the Cry for more
common carriers. If communities
along the Norfolk and Western
will but do as much in the way Of
developing I'teights as the Norfolk
and Western people arc doing, q
demand might arise for 'sincrcased
facilities" But L am quite sure
Mr.. Eddy's sharp eye would sec,
and the management would be
but too prompt to anticipate the
need for 'smorc cars" and have
them in con time" Perhaps the
delegates to this meeting for the
first time saw the great work al
ready done for Southwest Virginia
and became satisfied.

AMONG THE CHURCHES.

The past was notable week
among the churches of the town.
The Methodist brethren were de:
| lighted in having Rev. ID. Vance
Price installed as pastor in room
of the late lamented. Mr.. Price
has again moved into the parson-
age, aud looks every inch pastor.
Tuesday night and Wednesday
morning Rev. Mr.. Funsten of Rich
mond, talented minister of the
Protestant Episcopal church, held
services in Stras Memorial Church,
which is now vacant.
But the Prcsbyterians put in a
solid weeks work-prayer meeting
every morning from 6.15 to z a. m.
being a new feature. Commencing
on Thursday there was preaching
every morning and night, closing
Monday night. The preaching was
chiefly done by DR.. Martin, of
Dublin. His sermons were strong
and pointed, securing the closest
attention. The most noticeable
features Of these services were the
clearness and lncisiveness of the
preaching, the sermon on the
text-"The Kings business re-
quires haste,"- being a rare pres
entation of the Necessity for Chris
tlan activity.
Such breathless attention given
the preacher was quite unusual.
The singing of the choir, com
posed of j. w. Chapman and Rev.
Mr.. Ferguson, and the six ladies,
the Misses Lyons, Misses Tynes,
Chapman, Albro and Walker, was
extremely fine. On Sunday morn
ing, a voluntary-a duet by Misses
Alice Chapman and Reta Lyons
was a benediction. Preceding the
sermon another duet by Misses
Albro and Walker-thc sweet, soft
voice of Miss Albro blending with
the stronger voice and distinct OF.
ticulation of Miss Walker-gaye
the audience a perfect sample of
harmony, putting every mind in
frame for the sermon and the sol
emn sacrament of the Lords Sup
per.
With the present equipment of
the churches at this place they
should make much progress, and
the tone of the community in piety
become more marked.

Is EDWARD FIELD INSANE7
Some Queer Stories About the
Young Broker.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3-Rumors are again
in circulation to-day to the effect that
Edward Field, now in an asylum at Mt.
Vernon, is not insane, and that there will
probably be a public examination to de-
termine this question. 1t is also said that
Field had made reckless gifts to friends in
Wall street frequently before the firm
failed.
Among other rumors afioat is one that
Cyrus w. Field will probably not lose
more than 100000 by his sons reckless
plunging The Rev. Henry M. Field,
brother of Cyrus, said this morning that
if it were found out to be true that Ed
ward had been criminally guilty the shock
would kill Cyrus w. Field.
The impression prevails that Edward
Field is monomaniac and that he is sane
upon every other topic except speculation.
The most hopeful sign of to-day's devel-
opments, so far as they effect Cyrus w.
Field, is that he continues TO improve in
health.
There are as yet no further revelations
in regard to the affairs of the firm Of
Field, Lindley q Co.
John +. Wiechers the partner of Edward
NJ. Field, was seen in Jersey City yester-
day by Wall street friend, to whom he
said that his individual losses by the fail
ure amount to S250,OO0. lie WAS absolu-
tely and completely deceived by Field,
who systematically lied to his partners

ONLY A SMALL AFFAIR.
So Says the Chinese Government Of
the lnsurrecton.
TROOPS AT THE GREAT WALL.
The Rebels Only Number 800 Accord
ing Ia This Account-This, However,
Conflicts with Reports from Other
sources-A United States Gunboat There.

PEKIN, Dec. 3.-The advices received by
the government as To the strength of the
insurgents in the field place the total
number OF men at only 800. IL would be
foolhardy undertaking for such COM
paratively insignificant body of men TO
attempt the capture of the capital, for the
army of Ia Hung Chang which in its
armament, drill and esprit dc corps is the
best in China, would be able IL IL came to
fghting To sweep its enemies from the
face of the earth.
To judge from the activity in military
circles, however, the imperial authorities
DO not place implicit confidence In the re-
ports reaching them, and they are making
preparations to deal with a much larger
force than that which is said TO be heading
toward the capital. There are now 5000
imperial troops guarding the places along
the great wall where IL Is expected the
rebels will attempt TO force passage.
The advices received by the government
further state that the movement, instead
OF being concerted rising TO depose the
emperor, is nothing more than an attempt
10 wreak private vengeance.
LONDON Dec. "a cable dispatch has
been received from the British consul at
New-Chang (Manchooria), stating that
rumors were recently current that the
people, $50 miles to the westward had
risen in revolt. The dispatch adds that
the rising is now reported to have been
suppressed. No Europeans were in any
danger.
BERLIN, Dec 3.-It is believed that the
revolutionary movement Is of greater inn
port than the Chinese government w ould
have the world believe. 1t is believed that
If the movement is merely local one il
would hardly be necessary to hurry troops
tc the Great Wall of China to prevent the
rebels from forcing their way through and
marching on to Pekin.
Recent dispatches from China not from
official sources point to the fact that the
natives in the disturbed sections are in a
seething state of rebellion and that it
needs but the proper conditions TO insure
an uprising that will require all the
means at the governments command to
successfully cope with

NEARLY BURIED ALIVE.
In the Coffin and Ready for the fune-
raj Services.
HER SISTER SAVES HER LIFE.
Doctors Twice Pronounce Mrs. Hartig OF
Washington, Ind, Dead-After Being
Taken from the Coffin She Sits Up and
Complains Of Being Hungry.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Yesterday after.
noon the friends of Nicholas Hartig, one
of the leading citizens of this place, as
sembled TO attend the funeral OF Mrs.
Hartig, who retired in good health on
Tuesday, but was found, as was supposed,
dead in bed on Wednesday. The doctor
who was called said heart disease caused
her death.
The funeral services were about to be-
gin yesterday, when Mrs. jameson, q SIS
ter of the deceased, arrived from st.
Louis. She was astonished at the llte-
like appearance of the corpse, and said the
funeral was being held too soon. HOW
ever, 1t was concluded to proceed, when
Mrs. Jameson rushed among the guests,
crying frantically: They are going 10
bury my sister alive"
She made such stir that the clergyman
refused to proceed. Afterwards more
tests were made by the doctors and they
again said the woman was dead.
Mrs. Jameson became so excited that
she wanted TO tear her sister from the
coffin. Finally she consented to have the
burial to-day provided the corpse was
taken from the coffin and laid in the bed.
While the family was at supper voice
was heard in the bedroom. Then Jane
son rushed in screaming and found his
sister sitting up. She said she was very
well but very hungry. She added that
she had been conscious all the time, anu
when taken out of the coffin her blood be-
gan To circulate and she felt tingling
sensation as if she was being pricked by
a thousand needles. Finally she conclu6-
ed TO sit up and then her senses returned.
AS Hartig's mother died in the same way
il is now feared she was buried alive.

WASHINGTON BRIDGE.
Hearing To-day at the State House by
the Commission.

Hearing To-day at the State House by
the Commission.
Washington Bridge Commission met
at 10 O'Clock this morning in the State
House, in accordance with the recent
ruling of the Suprema Court, to reopen
the consideration of the petition of j. B.
Herreshoff ct al. for damages. There
were presnt Hon. Melville Bull, Hon.
George &. Cranston, Hon. Hiram Howard
and John NJ. Brennan, counsel for the
commission.
Amasa Eaton, for the petitioners, sub
mitted two claims The first one, for land
on the south side of Washington bridge,
amounting To nearly 10000 square feet
claimed To be damaged by depreciation in
value caused by the construction of the
bridge David +. Goff and Charles l..
Hazard were called as experts, and testi-
fled that in their opinion there had been a
depreciation of 40 cents per square foot in
the value of the property.
The second claim was one previously
passed upon by the commission, for Sl3,
$50. .33 damage caused by the depreciation
in value of tde-hown flats. The
commission previously decided that
1.-The evidence in the case showed that
nearly all this property at the time of the
commencement of the building of the
bridge was flowed by the tide. In Aborn
V. Smith, II X. L., it was decided that the
establishment of harbor line does not
divest the title of estate and transfer the
title TO the owner of the upland. 1t mere
ly permits the owner 10 take the upland
by filling"
Mr.. Eaton argued that these claims
were not to be Judged 10y the rule of com
mon law. The commission was created
by Chapter SO to consider claims for
damages which in n law court could not
be considered rs legal claims Moreover,
it was not necessary for the petitioners to
prove title TO the land. 1t was sufficient
for them To show an interest in the prop
erty, for the commission was to determine
the amount of damages sustained by any
person interested in any portion of the
premises injured or deprecated" 4" The
petitioners had riparian interests, which
they had sold, but were unable TO obtain
as much for them as they would have, had
the bridge not been constructed.
Several new claimants for damages ap-
peared before the commission, but il was
decided that they could not be filed with
in three months after the appointment of
the commission. The commissioners ad-
journed until tomorrow at 10 o'clock.
