He Was Stabbed Friday Night by Crazy
Man.
The report reached the city that Gen.
James A. Walker, the well-Known law
yer of Wytheville, was painfully injured
at Pulaski city Friday night by man
named Douthat, not long since an in
mate OF a lunatic asylum.
1tseems that Douthat, who is regarded
as half crazy, was begging money to
erect house, and approached General
Walker for donation. The latter go ID
humoredly asked Douthat why he did
not work and earn money, and this so
exasperated him that TO plunged knife
into the generals side. Before he could
make o second thrust he was seized by
citize who Witnessed the ass ault and
locked up While General Walker suf-
fers considerably from bis wound it is
not regarded as necessarily serious. as
the knife blade struck bono and was
thereby prevented from entering vital
part.

THE PLAN A FAILURE.
Richmond Terminal Difficulty Not YET
Settled

Settled.
NEW York, April Speciall-A
good deal OF comment was caused to-day
by the statement authorized by II. c.
Fahnestock and Fred FL. Tappen, two
members of the Richmond and West
Point reorganization committee, in
which it is said that the committee has
not had meeting in two weeks and
that the wording Of the advertisement
of the committee is wrong in regard to
the deposits of underlying securiti 81.
The advertisements says: 'Underlying
securities to large amount have been
deposited under the plan of reorganiza-
ton" Tappen and Fahnestock say
they have investigated the matter and
find that the total deposits of the bonds
of the East Tennessee, Richmond and
Danville and Midland reads amount to
only 1913, 900.
This action of Fahnestock and Tap
pen is looked on as positive Indication
that the proposed plan is failure and
new plan is expected to be put out by
them at an early day.

A BOLD burglary sunday Wight.


Last Monday morning it was discovered
that burglars had been at work in our qui-
ct village during the previous night. The
store of l.. r. IL w. H. Landman was
entered through a bulkhead door into the
cellar, and from there the thieves gained
easy access to the whole store Two cash
drawers were pried off and left on the
floor, but neither contained but little mon
ey. The store was quite thoroughly ran
sacked and some goods taken, but we do
not understand a very large amount. The
putty was cut from a pane of glass in the
office at the depot, part of the glass pried
out, the fastening removed. and access gain
ed in that way. The money drawer was
pricd off here, but as that contained but
two cents the thieves refused to take it.
The ticket case was opened and quantity
of tickets stolen, and an express package
opened, but it contained nothing the thieves
wanted. Another express package was
taken outside and found to contain a har-
ness, and that was left We understand
that no cew whatever of the burglars has
been obtained, and it is probable they will
escape arrest and punishment. 1t was ev-
identity the work of some one who had
studied the premises thoroughly, as a large
dog which was shut in the store made no
noise and showed evident signs of being
drugged
