Death of Gen. w. Il. F. Lee.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Oct. 15.-Gen. W. II.
+ Lee. second son of Gen. X. E. Lee,
died today at 2.30 o'clock at his home, at
Ravensworth, Fairfax county, about
twelve miles from this city. At an early
hour last night his condition was critical,
and DR.. Bedford Brown, of this city, was
at once called, and spent the night at
Gen. Lees residence in consultation with
Or. Harrison, of Washington. This morn.
ing Mrs. Lee and the family we've told
there was no hope, and that the General,
who was then sinking rapidly, could live
but a few hours.
The devoted wife, Notwithstanding the
intelligence was not unexpected, was
stunned by the blow when it did come.
From that moment she did not leave her
husbands side until all was over, and her
grief and watching were shared by her
two SONS and Capt. Custer Lee, a brother
of the dying man. Gen. Lee was uncon-
scious for several hours before his death
The news reached Alexandria about D
o'clock, and was soon thereafter generally
known. Expressions of sorrow were
heard on all sides. Mayor Strauss at
once directed that the fire bells and the
bell in the city hall be tollcd for one hour.
There is no place where Gen. Lee IS
better known or more beloved than here,
where many of the boys live who wore
the gray and followed his leadership dur
ing the late war. The entire community
mourns over the death of the distinguished
son of Robert L. Lee. Gen. Lee had
faithfully represented this district for
two terms in Congress and was a member
elect of the next House. The doctors
pronounced his illness valyular disease of
the heart, from which lie has suffered for
several years.
General Lees Funeral.
ALEXANDRIA, VA, Oct. 19.--Gen. VIM.
II. +. Lee was laid at rest yesterday
afternoon on his own plantation of Ra-
venswOrth, in Virginia, with quiet So
lemity, which was all the more impressive
from its simplicity. His friends and neigh
bors gathered at hi1 country home and
waited without while the services of the
church took place within, in the presence
of his family and some close personal
friends. Rev. DR.. McKim, of Epiphany
Church, Washington, of which General
Lee was n commitment while in Con-
press, and Rev. J. Cleveland Hall, Of
whose church at Fairfax Court House
General Lee was vestryman, Ofiiciated,
and there were many other clergymen.
Then, after "Jesus, Lover of My Soul"
had been sung, six of the employees at
Rayensworth took mp the cloth-covered
cedar casket and bore 1t covered with
palms, to the outer air. There it was re-
ceived by the escort, the Confederate
Veterans of Alexandria, Washington, and
Maryland A throng of friends, ladies
and gentlemen, followed the casket to the
grave. At the open grave the bearers
laid the casket down, and it was lowered
to its resting place.

BY THE HANGING OF THREE NEGROES.

BY THE HANGING OF THREE NEGROES.
CLIFTON FORGE, VA, Oct. 1S.-A saw
age fight occurred between FIVE negroes
and the Clifton Forge officers, in the
mountain pass one and a-half miles from
here, near the Iron Gate, yesterday after
noon. resulting in the death Of white
man and a negro. The negroes came to
Clifton Forge this morning from the Big
| Hill mines, eight miles from here, with
the ayowed purpose of creating a dis
turbance Aided 10y whSkey, they be-
came boisterous and deiied arrest, leav-
Ing in the same direction they came fol-
| lowed by the town officers. They were
called to a halt at the above point,
where a fight ensued. in which p. a. Bow
ling, of the posse, was killed and Fred
Wilkinson was shot in the abdomen and
knee. Wilkinson will recover, is thought.
Both were brakemen On tho Chesapeake
& Ohio Railroad and were summoned by
the officials, the former from Albemarle
county, and the latter from Bedford conn
ty. The former was married and lived
here.
The news of the shooting spread rapid
~, with great excitement, and in short
time fifty men were securing the noun
tarns where the negroes took refuge,
hunting them down. All of them were
captured after several hours search and
a second battle in the mountains between
policemen and the negroes. One OF the
negroes is supposed to be dead from his
wounds. The other four were lodged in
Jail here, three of them having been shot
before they were captured. About half
past 10 o'clock last night mob of 300
men took three of the negroes from Jail
and hung and then shot them fnll of bull
lets. The fourth prisoner, who is about
sixteen years of age, was not disturbed.
There is considerable excitement here
tonight over a rumored uprising of the
negroes in consequence OF last nights
lynching, and Mayor Bowles has tele-
graphed Governor Mckinney to send the
Monticello Guards here as a measure of
precaution. The reports caused suspen-
sion of services at the churches tonight,
but the rumors are regarded by cooler
heads as unfouuded. There are large
numbers of negroes at the mines of this
section.
The entire town is in arms, and pickets
are posted on every outskirt. A squad
ron of men are on the way here from
Ronceverte. W. Va, and will arrive at
lip. NJ. There has been no direct indi-
cation of an outbreak, but the greatest
excitement prevails.
The latest reports from Clifton Forge
represent everything as quiet at that
place. The Monticello Guards, of Char
iottesville, who had been ordered to that
point by the Governor on the request OF
the Mayor, returned to their homes on
Monday.

1879 Arch ST.. Philadelphia, Pa.
The original and only genuine Com
pound Oxygen Treatment, that of Drs.
Starkey d Palen, is scientific adjist-
ment of the elements of Oxygen and Nj
trogen magnetized and the compound is
so condensed and made portable that it Is
sent all over the world.
1t has been in use for more than twenty
years thousands of patients have been
treated and oyer one thousand physicians
have used il, and recommend it,-a very
significant fact.
The great success OF our Treatment has
given rise to a host Of imitators, unscru-
pulous persons; some calling their prep
arations Compound Oxygen, often appro-
priating our testimonials and the names
of our patients, to recommend worthless
concoctions. But any substance made
elsewhere or by others, and called Com
pound Oxygen, is spurious.
"Compound OrygeH-Hs Mode Of 1ciion
and Results" is the title of a new book of
200 pages, published by Drs. Starkey q
Paien, which gives to all inquirers full in
formation as TO this remarkable curative
agent, and a record of surprising cures in
a wide range of chronic cases-many OF
them after being abandoned to die by 9th
er physicians. Will be mailed free to any
