Colonel A. w. Strange Dead.

LYScEBUBe. Va. April 22.-Colonel A.
w. Strange, one of the oldest and best
known citizens Of this city, died this
morning at o'clock.
MIR. Strange was q native of Fluvanna
county and was born on February -, 1923.
He belonged to q family of high standing
in that section Of the State. He held po-
sitions of trust and responsibility in Flu
wanna before his removal to Lynchburg,
which was in November. 1865. From July
/. 1867. TO May IS, 1889, Mr.. Strange was
business manager of the Lynchburg Ne,os.
He gave up that position on account of
his health and had not since engaged
in any active business. Before he came to
Lynchburg he had suffered severe attack
of fever, which left him cripple. As he
grew older walking became more difficult
for him, until he finally had to use both
crutch and cans. For the last few
months he had not been on the street ut
all. About ten days ago his crutch slipped
as he was waking in his room aud he fell
to the floor. Being very heavy man the
injury he received went hard with him.
and for several DAYS there had been little
hope that he could live long. The de-
ceased was a member of Marshall Lodge
of Masons and will be buried with Masonic
bOnOrs.

OF letters from corporations which had paid the
tax prior to the renderine OF the decision. re-
questing that the money 90 paid be refunded.
As stated 10 the DISPATCH some days ago me

case that WAS before the court. The last Legis-
lature amended the defective act under which
the decision was rendered and made II unequivo-
cal that all charters court a. well a. Legislative,
were subject to tax upon iodgnent In the once

paid prior to the decision were voluntary-the
Attorney General having instructed the Capitoi
officers not TO receive any such taxes under pfo-
test--and the money having been turned into
tho treasury, cannot DO refunded without spe-
ciai legislation.
That the General Assembly win hardly be in-

his health, and that be had secured stu
alton with the Singer Sewing Machine
Company In this city and proposed to
make his home here for q time. He
stopped overnight at Mrs. Phelps's, and
or Tuesday evening. after eating bis sup
per, stated TO his hostess that he intended
going out on College Hill 10 visit friend,
and that II he did not return. that night to
feel no unessiness, as he might decide 10
stop all night with his friend.
STRANGE DIsAPPEABAscE.
Nothing more has been heard Of Lewis.
and tonight Mrs. Phelps concluded. with
the assistance OF your correspondent, to
search his room, 1t having been locked
ever since Lewls's departure. A great
many letters from young ladies were found
lying loose on the chairs, mantel, and In
his trunk, nearly all Of which had been
written over by Lewis, expressing sorrow
for some episode OF has life. On several Of
them, especially one directed to Mrs.
Phelps, he expressed the desire to die and
stated that he could not bear this exist
