Fatal Shooting.

We learn from the Fincastle Herald
that on Monday, the 18th inst, John
w. Barton was shot and killed by Will
liam Gray near Fincastle. Itseems that
both men were intoxicated and got into
a difficulty over horse trade, when
Gray brought into use 80 calibre pistol
with the above mentioned result.
Gray is young man, about twentys
five years old, and doesn't bear an envia-
BILE reputation. Barton was a native of
Bedford County, and had been living
in Botetourt for about eight years. He
was fifty>five years of age, and leaves a
family of thirteen children. Bad blood
is said to have existed between the par
ties for some time, they having engaged
in former difficulty. Gray at last ac>
counts was still at large.

CORRESPONDENCE.
Covington News

Capt. Harmon hitched up four of his
fast livery horses last Wednesday,, and
invited Messrs. Delaney and Camper to
take pleasure ride with him. Now a
four in hand is not common sight in
our unassuming city, and this outfit at
tracted a great deal of attention on the
part of our citizens. The Captain is a
splendid driver and seemed to have COM
plete control of the fiery steeds, every
body admiring the ease and grace with
which he managed them. They drove
about mile out of town toward the
Falling Spring, but in descending the
hill by McAllister & Bells mill, on the
return trip, something got wrong with
the harness, and before the inmates of
the carriage knew it they were being
taken down the long hill at a fearful
rate of speed. They all staid in until
the bottom of the hill was reached when
Mr.. Delaney jumped. few yards fur
ther and the carriage struck rock,
when Capt Harmon, who was leaning
forward doing his best to check the RIM
Always, was thrown out on pile of loose
rocks About 100 yards further on Mr..
Camper jumped. The horses ran on
down into town and were stopped at
the foot of Water street, having done
or no damage to the carriage. Mr..
Delaney escaped with slight sprain in
the ankle and IL small bruise of the face.
Mr.. Camper, pretty bad sprains in ankle
and wrist. Capt. Hartman Jared worse
than the others, getting very ugly cut
on the back of his head and severe
bruise on hip and side. Four-in-hands
are very stylish but not very we'll adapt
ed to Allegheny county roads.
The ladies gave grand Leap Year
ball at the opera house on Monday
night The ladies are bound to try the
'other side' of social matters here, as
this is the second leap year party they
have given. The boys fairly grin when
they hear of preparations for a leap year
affair, for they know by sweet exper-
fence that it means great fun, and mag
nificent treatment. The dance began
at O'Clock, the music being furnished
by the Covlngton Orchestra. The
dance proceeded without a cease" till
twelve O'Clock when the kindly matrons
who served as chaperons, and wanted to
see how the girls and boys do things now
a days anyway, spread a bountiful sup
per of ice cream, cake, bananas, ETC.
After this very interesting part of the
programme was over the dance was re-
sumed and not until two o'clock did the
boys sweet beaux say they would con-
duct the homeward march. The young
ladies certainly know how to do things
up in fine style, and never fail to do it
just that way. Any proposition they
may make now will be snapped up.

A Gigantic Failure.

The Georgia-Alabama Investment and
Development Company operating at Tai
lapoosa, Ala, which was so extensively
advertised some time ago, has come to
sudden grief. The Company was cap
italized at $4,500,OO0. BENZ. f. Butler
was its President and great number of
distinguished persons were connected
officially with the enterprise. The stock
was principally placed in the North y
some of it in London. Mr. G. A. Norton
of Tallapoosa, has been appointed to
take charge of the Company as Receiver.
The liabilities of the Company will, it is
thought, consume the entire assets and
leave nothing to the stockholders One
r. l.. Spencer, who originated the scheme
and devised the machinery to put it into
execution, is about the ouly one who
comes out ahead. He is supposed to
have gotten something over a million
dollars ont of the wreck.

ADJUSTED.

We are pleased to be able to announce
to our friends and patrons that the VAL
LEY VIRGINIAN is still doing business
at the old stand, and will so continue.
On last Saturday, the day upon which
the paper was advertised to be sold,
satisfactory arrangement was entert d
into between the Clifton Forge Publish
which the continuance of the paper is
assured for six months to come, during
which time, no doubt, the affairs of the
Company will be so shaped that the VlR
GINIAN will become a permanent fixture.
We shall, therefore, enter upon tie
work of the paper with renewed efforts
and hope to be able to serve the people
in a manner acceptable to all. We shall
endeavor to give oursubscribers paper
worthy of their support and bespeak
their hearty co operation to that end.
Job Department, where we shall aim to
turn out work second to none in quality
and at the minimum COST The Company
will contri butte as far as possible to the
advancement of all the interests of Cliffs
ton Forge and vicinity, and in turn So
licits and confidently expects the help of
our citizens.
In this connection it may be proper to
say that in order to carry out its con
tracts and preserve the interest of the
Company it is necessary that those in
debted to the concern should at once
arrange their arrears. In fact the neces-
sity is SO urgent that, while the direc-
one, but on the contrary would gladly
grant indulgence, it has been deter
mined to put all claims in the hands of
an attorney with instructions to press
vigorously the collection of the same.
we IruSC, however, 1t VIII not be neceS-
sary to bring suit against any one, but
that all will promptly pay up; which
is certainly the wisest plan to pursue
If those who are indebted to the Com
pany will promptly come forward and
discharge the claims against them the
present embarrassment will be speedily
relieved and the affairs of this Company
SO arranged that the stock will be worth
something to the holders. To withhold
payment is poor policy, as the assets of
the Company will thereby be sacrificed
and no benefit gained to any one.
We also desire to remind those who
have not renewed their subscriptions to
the VIRGINIAN that an early contribu
ton would be most acceptable. Thank
ing our patrons for past favors and ask
ing an increase and continuance of the
same, we shall pursue our course ex>
pecting better things and promising all
we can bestow.

The Homestead Strike.

The situation at Homestead has re
manned unchanged for the last few days.
Since the troops took up quarters near
the mills and turned the property over
to the owners everything has been per-
fectly quiet; no violent demonstrations
whatever have been made by the strik
ers. 1t is very much feared. however.
that the trouble is not yet ended. When
the State troops were first ordered to the
scene OF the disturbance the strikers an
nounced that they would offer no resist
ance, but intimated that SO soon as the
militia should be withdrawn they would
again assert themselves. That this
threat will be carried out there seems
now to be little doubt The strikers are
maintaining strict organization and
keeping themselves ready for any oppor-
tunlty that may present itself The mill
owners announced some days ago that
work would begin again on Monday, the
18th inst, and sent out invitations to all
their old employees who were not prolni-
nent IN the strike to return to their
places. 1t was expected that large
number would go back; but when Mons
day came the mills failed to start: not a
half dozen OF the strikers applied for
work
1t is hard to conjecture what the end
OF the trouble will be; both sides seem
determined and unwilling to make any
concession. A great deal of suffering
and privation must necessarily result.
When several thousand men stop work
and remain idle for any considerable
time it means scarcity of bread in many
life. 1t is to be hoped the differences
may soon be adjusted and quiet restored.
