GLASGOW, January 28.-The strikers seem
TO have resolved 10 continue their recent
ly-adopted policy of railroad outrages. At
Greenock yesterday passenger tram
happily crossed safely over a chain which
had been twisted around the rails. The
train and passengers were entirely unin-
jured. Stone-throwing continues in spite
OF the police protection afforded to the
companies, and an additional number OF
engineers and firemen have been in
'ured by this bombardment. The railroad
companies have offered rewards foAth
apprehension and conviction of any person
found throwing stones at trains, but there
have been but few arrests made. The
strikers orators, discontented with the
views the newspapers take of the strike.
have been villifying the reporters of the
Glasgow newspapers, The result is that
the newspapers of this city have agreed
not to report any future meetings which
the strikers may hod.

The funeral of Miss Jane Adams took
place at Columbia this afternoon. The life
of this estimable Christian lady. aged six
ty-five, is so lnterllnked by noble lineage
with those old Virginia families who made
the name of our State almost synonyme
for honor and hospitality, that the tldlngs
of her death will touch many hearts in
which her memory is enshrined.

Mr.. George p. Holman in the eighty second
year of his age is another broken link IN
the chain which connects with that Old
time Virginia life which sacredly fingers

Legislature from this county, engaged ac-
lively in the practice of medicine for forty
years. At the end of the war be. resumed
his profession, which for time had been
discontinued, practicing first at Christians

State he returned two years ago TO spend
in the retiracy of the home of his son.

MINERAL DEVELOPMENTS.
The mineral interest in this county is
beng rapidly developed. Colonel Canes,
who Is industriously conducting with pick
and spade the prospecting operations on
the farms on which options had been Sc
cured, reports that the percentage of
iron ore in the rock of the Cleveland farm,
near Central Plains, is about 55, and
that this vein is thirty feet thick. When
it is borne in mind that yield of 20
per cent. pays quite handsomely, the
Colonels estimate is encouraging indeed.
