MARCH DAYS.

The world to-day is a nun in gray,
And the wind in her wailing prayer
10 God, to give her a soul like May,
Flower-sweet, white, and fair.
Still as a lake at even is the air;
The heavens are gloomed; l mark not
anywhere
A hopeful sign hune out by plain or hill;
Only the etched brown trees and barren
fields are there.
How like a madman's dream the thought of
June!
Shall this warped pipe e'er swell with
some soft une
That calls for liquid stops and dangerous
skill,
The piper lying prone beneath a summe
moon?
The mystery
And magic of the spring!
It seizes on this bleak and sullen thing
Called March, and see!
Bland skies, faint odors as of slumbering
flowers,
Faint bird songs in the bowers,
A soft south wind, and. Graded in the
wood,
As sweet as ~womanhood,
As shy as any maiden lured by love,
The dimly flushed arbutus bloom above
The harsh earth soon will peer,
And April airs be here!
Richard E.. Burton, in Harper's Magazine
for March.

a Dutch Colonial House M~Odernized

In the way of home decoration | have
seen nothing of late more interesting than
an ancient, low-browed, Dutch colonial
house in the suburbs over whose remodel
ing presides the daughter of Il man of much
money and of many acres, she being shortly
to occupy it as a bride. Dormer windows
have been let into the long sloping roof and
do not interfere with its antique aspect and
the spirit of its belongings. Tall classic
pillars form a porch not unlike those added
to 80 many old houses III Virginia. The
wide entrance hall, from which the old
straight stairs have been removed, ia
paneled III oak and decorated in a heavy
red reaching up to the ceiling. The big,
low-studded parlor IL II delightful room
with it's salmon, old gold, bronze
and creamy colorings. About the
narrow frieze are looped blosson,ing gar
lands of pink roses. The fireplace is Of
classic pattern. without over-mantel-its
creamy paint picked out with gold. Across
the hallway is the dining room with its
ancient dresser and blue things. Behind
the entrance hall lis a great staircase hall
with winding stale and cayernous fireplace
i've feet across, it's decorations in bIonzs
and red tones.

women"

CHARLIE s1orEN nAILED.
His Brother Become His Surety for g 900
In Two Cases.

His Brother Become His Surety for 81 900
In Two Cases.
Charlie Moten was bailed Yesterday
by Justice Howerton. There were three
or four charges against him. The one
on which he was first arrested was for
being implicated with William Cooper
In stealing wagon from +. c. Oakley.
This charge was against both men and the
magistrate dismissed it on the grounds
that no proof had been introduced to
show that either Moten or Cooper stole
the wagon.
But Molten has two other charges
against him. One is for stealing two
buggies from Horton and Roberts and
the other for breaking and entering q
boX-car at night time and stealing nine
bales OF hay. On these charges he was
bailed in the sum of 81 900 each, Ted
Moten, his brother, becoming his bonds
man in each instance.
William Cooper is still held on the
charge of stealing the dog -cart from j.
O. Kinsey, but Molten laid out another
charge against him by swearing out a
warrant charging him with obtaining
money from him by means of false
pretense.
Cooper sold Molten the wagon which
had been stolen from Mr.. Oakley, and
after he bad been arrested gave Molten
away to Officer Eanes. The case will
be heard on the 18th by Justice Hover
ton.
Cooper's attorney was not present
when the case was dismissed, and his
client is still ig norant of his com plicatcd
position.

TRIED TO WRECK THE TRAIN.
Finally Falling into the Hands of
Baldwin and Campbell.
Charles and Campbell waldron Baggod
After a Long Chase for Attempting to
Wreck Clinch Valley Train They
were Given IL Preliminary Hearing and
Narrowly Escaped Lynchlng.

Detective Baldwin has just returned
from the Clinch Valley. He was seen
by TIMES reporter in reference 10 the
recent attempt to wreck q train on that
road, and tho capture of the two men
who were implicated.
1t seems that about two weeks ago
an obstruction was discovered on the
track near Richards just before the
passenger train came along.
A mile post had been wcdgcd between
the rails in one place, sign post in
another, and several boards were SO
arranged further away that no train
could have ran upon it withous being
hurled down steep embankmcnt.
Detectives Baldwin and Campbell
we're notified and they went to work.
They discovered small clue. 1t was
indeed small but they took the risk and
arrested Alta Elswick, in Tazewell
county. He was severely punped by
the detectives and finally squeuled on
two other young men named Charles and
Campbell Waldron. Charles was ar
rested on Wednesday in Tazewell county,
and 1T was then learned that Campbell
was in Russell county, w. Va. Detec-
tive Campbell got on his trail and
brought him back to Richards on Thurs
day. Campbell gave his brother Charles
away and charged him with putting the
distractions on the track.
Justice Jones conducted the prelimin-
airy trial on Thursday evening. large
and furious concourse of enraged citi-
zens gathered on the outside o. the
building, and vowed they would hang
Charles to the first tree they came too
Another magistrate was present as a
spectator. He became SO enragcd while
the testimony was boing given that he
jumped and called on the people to
bring rope, swearing that he would
lynch them at once.
The mob ragged and roared on the out
side, but cooler heads quoted the dis
turbancc, and the Waldron boys were
hustled off to Jail at Tazewell Cour,
House. Elswick was bailed for his ap
pearancc before the grand jury.
