by the pint, half-pint. or in such guam
tity as they desired. They asked Mr.

While Intoxicated.
Nv teIegraph 10 the Dispatch.


wYTHEvILLE. Va. March 1.-THE body
of James Moore. who mysteriously disap-
peared last Monday and was supposed to
have been drowned, was found to-day IN
Barrett's mll-pond. about one mile
from Wytheylle. Searching parties have
been dragging the bottom of Reed
Creek ever since Tuesday morning. The
body was discovered about seventy
FIVE yards below the place where the
tracks showed that his horse had
climbed out of the water, anchored
to snag by one arm. The features were
perfectly natural and the body was as well
preserved as II death had occurred few
moments before it was discovered. Ms
watch and other valuables were found on
his person. 1t is the general belief now
that he was intoxicated and lost his way.
The tracks of his horse indicated that he
mad attempted TO cross at several places
before he made the fatal plunge.

EXPLOSION IN ROME.
The Oficial Residence of the United States
Minister Bomb-arded.

IBy Anglo-American cable TO the Dispatch.l
RoME, ITALY. March 17.--At half-past 8
o'clock this morning bomb was exploded
in the ancient Mattel Palace. the residence
OF United States Minister Potter. and
which was engaged by Mr.. Potter in De-
cember last az his official residence during
his term Of service. The explosion i,1 Of the
ing. and nobody was injured. The Mattel
Palace is a notably beautiful structure,
blending ancient and modern art. All
sorts of surmises are afloat in regard to the
affair. but nothing definite has yet been
ascertained.
The building in which the explosion oc-
Cured is occupied by other families be-
sides that of United States Minister Pot;
ter. As similar outrage was perpetrated
in the same building IN 1892, and as Mr..
Potter only engaged the building for occu-
patton during the closing DAYS OF that
wear, it is believed that the fact OF the
palace being inhabited by the American
Minister had nothing to do with to-days
event. but that the motive was private
vengeance upon the proprietor OF the
palace.

Young Turks Our Largest Importers.

The Richmond correspondent Of the
Norfolk Ledger writes TO that paper:
The largest importers of foreign goods
in this city, or rather those who pay the
greatest amount of duties to the govern
ment, are two young Turks who keep Q
small concern here. These men settled
here few years ago. When they reached
the city they could not utter word Of
English and had little or no capital They
began peddling small wares about the
county. The men now have canvassers all
over this State and in many portions Of
North and South Carolina. For the past
house over $4,000 in import duties. Tie
most of their goods consists of small and
cheap wares, which are purchased in Paris.
