Young Cook Improving, and VIII Prob
ably Recover.
WYTHEvILLE, Va, July 1O--l Special
The condition Of young Cook, who was
shot by the negro Hunter, on July 4, has
improved in the last two days, and if
inflammation does not set in he may re.
cover. The reports as to the danger of
Hunter being lynched were much exar-
gerated, as no mob was organized, and
beyond few rash statements by excited
takers that he ought to be lynched if
Cook died, nothing has been said or done
to point to that supposition.
A rumor got abroad among the
negroes, however, that lynching party
was being organized, and a letter Of
warning, signed by "A .Colored Citi.
zen" was sent to Commonwealth Attor-
ney Gleaves
There has been very little excitement
here in regard to the matter.
Messrs. Williams, Culpepper and 9TH
ers, party OF evangelists, commenced
meeting hero Tuesday in the Metho-
dist Church, and to-day they pitched
their Gospel tent (Which seats $4,000
people) in Mrs. Stewards vacant lot.
All the churches have united in the
meeting, and a union choir conducts the
singing.

INTERESTED SPECTATORS
Watch tho Raising of Two Telegraph Polos
ON Henry Street.

Two largo telegraph poles wero
raised on Henry street yesterday. 1t
furnished amusement to crowd OF
spectators the entire day. 1t also fur
nished amusement to tho men with long
pixies, who strained every nerve to raise
the ponderous poles into position.
The anagers in charge of tho work
were not In the best OF humor. They
had enough to make them mad, for
work as they would some one would
como along with their hands in their
pockets and say it ought to be dono this
way or 1t ought to be done that. Two
real estate men rode along in buggy
and stopped. They wanted to know
what the poles were for and how they
were going to get them up through that
next work of wires. They were politely
informed that it was no time to talk
about matters of that kind when tho
pole was half way up, but to call around
whom the hole was filled.
lady stopped in front OF clothing
store and seeing the cluster of pixies
barring the way, turned abruptly around
and asked dummy il she could pass.
of course tho dummy spoke inwardly,
and the crowd Outwardly, and tho lady
passed on.
Many other incidents happened but
the bootblacks carried them all off, and
finally became so conspicuous that a
policeman had TO beat one over the head
with his billy to prevent him from
blac1ning mans shoes for nothing.
The worst feature OF tho whole case
was that The TIMES private wire had to
be cut to allow one OF the poles to go up.
But lineman assured the crowd that
those wires would be welded again be-
fore the news began to come.
Tho poles were finally placed but tho
crowd didn't seem to want to get away.
Some of them had gazed up so long that
they had cricks in their necks, and went
away looking very much disconnected.

Thieves entered the city market some
time Thursday night and riAed every
cash drawer, ransacked every stall and
carried off about 81 in money. Entrance
was effected through broken window
pane just over n. Rensche's stall. The
thieves arc supposed to be two or moro
negro boys, as such were seen around
the place after the Opera House closed. A
policeman discovered that some parties
were in the market, but could not get in.
While gone after key they escaped.
Some of the cash drawers were broken
and others unscrewed from the counters.
Burnt paper was found in every stall,
which indicated that this means of secu-

happened, only a small quantity of
change was left in the market by the
butchers, and the booty was light Two
