KILLED BY A GRIzzLY.-Henry Ma
son, a well-known citizen of Newcastle,
wy, was killed by a bear on Friday
night. He left home in the morning to
work in q mining claim few miles
away, telling his wife he would be home
in the evening. A short distance from
the house he saw the tracks of a bear.
He followed the trail about three miles
into canon, where he discovered the
animal-a large grizzly. He fired one
shot without effect, when his Winches-
ter refused to work. The bear then at
tackled him. Mason attempted to es-
cape by climbing tree, but the bear
wrenched the gun from him and badly
lacerated his foot. Tie evidently re-
NAMED in the tree until the bear had
disappeared, when he came down and
started for home. He had not gone far
when the bear again pounced upon him
and mangled his body in terrible man
ner, thirty-eight distinct bites being
found. Mason not returning, a search
ing party was organized next day. His
BODY was found, and not far away was
the bear. After bard fight he was
killed. The beast measured seven feet
in length and weighed 600 pounds.

Arriving at the grave, the military
formed in the avenue to the right, over,
looking the bluff. The veterans massed
in the avenue TO the left. The ladies
of the several memorial associations
and auxiliary camps, occupied the oval
section east of the grave.
The services at the grave were as 1ol-
lows:
Funeral dirgc by Stonewall Band,
composed by Jacob Reinhardt.
Reading of the Scriptures by Bishop
II. NJ. Thompson, of Mississippi.
Prayer by DR.. NJ. D. Hoge, OF Rich-
mond.
Hymn, by DR.. w. w. Landrum,
of Richmond, "How Firm Founda-
ton"
Benediction, by DR.. o. S. Barten, OF
Norfolk.
Bugle signal.
Military salute by infantry and ar
tillery.
Taps.
Rev. DR.. Hoge in his prayer at the
grave used the following beautiful and
appropriate words: "Here, on this i'm
presssive hill we have laid him down
beside the river whose waters sing
their perpetual requiem and amid
the flowers which speak OF the resurec-
ton of the just and of the land where
death never withers the affections
which bloom in beauty and fragrance
evermore. Now that the sorrows and
desolations of war have been for so
many years exchanged for the bless
ings of peace, may all anlmosl-
ties be buried in the grave
and may all the inhabitants
of this great land, from North to South
and from East to West, learn more ana
more to cherish the relations which
unite them as children of one father
and as citizens of one country. May
mutual regard for each others inter
ests, happiness and rights become the
noble law of national life. May free
dom founded on justice and guarded
by constitutional law, with religion
pure and undetiled, secure to our peo-
pie perpetual heritage of unity, pros
pcrity and peace"
The column then reformed IN the
same order and attended the memorial
services of the Ladies' Hollywood Me
mortal Association.
And now the body Of Jefferson Davis,
the President of the Confederacy, rests
beneath the green hills of beautiful
Hollywood Cemetery, and the city
where he made history will claim the
honor of guarding forever the grave OF
that distinguished soldier and states
man.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. MAY 81 1898.
WITHIN SOUND of the unceasing roar

WITHIN SOUND of the unceasing roar
of the James, which he loved so well,
and amid the booming of cannon and
the strains of the dead march, and in
the presence of thousands of the sad
survivors Of those who were once so
eager to obey his orders, all that re-
mains of the President of the late Con-
federate States of America was laid to
rest to-day in Hollywood, at Rich
mond, the city that was the capital OF
that nation. Jefferson Davis was the
only President the eX-Confederates
ever had, and they mourn his death as
a mother does that of her only child,
and as they stood this evening by his
open grave, the memories of his and
their short Lived nation, of its glories,
its miseries and its heroic death, came
over them with staggering force, and
induced those of the tenderest sensl-
bilities among them to regret that they
had survived it, and had not fallen in
its defence, in the smoke and dust OF
battle and with their comrades famil-
lar cry of victory ringing in their ears.
Regrets, however, are ever vainer than
hopes. The cruel war, too, is over, in
the South; but ii is not forgotten, land as
long as the James shall continue to
flow from the mountains to the sea, so
long will the gallant struggle of the
Southern Confederacy for independence
be remembered, and so long will the
memory of the chosen leader OF that
struggle be revered, and his grave be
deemed hallowed ground by all who
esteem bravery and honor and the
binding obligations of conviction as en-
nobling qualities and as conducive to
the welfare of any people. With few
exceptions the successful men of histo-
nv have been neither the best nor the
greatest, and the rule was glarlngly
exemplifed in the war between the
States of the American Union.

UNIQUE WARsHIP DEsIGEs.-The
Navy Department is advised that the
French naval architects have embodied
in their latest plans for battleships
system of protected tops that will at,
ford position ofsuperior accommoda-
ton to the commanding officers. De-
tails that have reached the Navy De-
partment here show that these NINA
ture steel fortresses at the mast tops, in
addition to an equipment of machine
guns, are now being fitted out with
speaking-tubes, connections with the
engine bells, and, finally, with awheel,
which will enable the officer in the top
to steer the vessel from that position.
Great strategic advantages are sup
posed to be made available from this
arrangement, as it will enable the OIL
Ger directing the movements of the yes
sci to see perfectly over the dense
clouds of powder smoke that hang
around the vessel during an active en-
gagement, and, also, in certain cases, TO
see above low-lying fog. This Is :c-
garded as considerable improveme nt

ing himself dashed to the rigging.

WASHINGTON, May 31.-After an

minutes, Moderator Craig at $50 a. m.
convened the Assembly into a court,
and the last stage but one Of the famous
case of Prof Briggs was entered upon.
Speeches were limited to three minutes
and number of ministers exhausted
the time allotted them. DR.. Leftwich,

sustained because the presbytery ac-
quilted Prof. Briggs Of the charge OF
error upon a charge which he had
frankly and freely ayowed before this

nal text of Scripture. Rev. d. j. San
ders, of the Calawba, n. c., presbytery

spoke. He said carefully study of the
case showed him that he could not do
otherwise than vote to sustain the ap-
peal. The probability is that the final

SECRETARY HERBERT recently re-
lieved naval commander of his ship
because he didn't sail for Nicaragua
before his vessel was ready for the trip.
The officers successor signalized his ar
rival at Greytown by landing all the
marines aboard his ship, armed and
equipped for action. Fortunately for
the reputation of his country, the OIL
Ger did not hoist ''the" flag over the
public buildings there. The question
naturally suggested by the action Of the
officer referred to is, by what authority
he landed armed troops upon the ter
ritory of country with which the
United States are at peace? and as 1t Is
hardly possible that he acted under or
ders, he should be brought home imme-
diatelv and be cashiered at once. MIC
aragua is weak country, but 1t has
rights which should be respected by all
other nations, and that are except by the
United States, and the jingoism alluded
to not only merits but receives the
ridicule of the civilized world, and
stamps this country as national swasi
buckler, going about among such small
States as Italy, Chill, Hawaii and those
OF Central America in spurred boots
and with curled mustaches and drawn
sword calling for blood or Difference. Nc
we'll informed man believes that armed
soldiers of the United States would be
landed on the territory of Great Britain
or of any other powerful country with
out the consent of the government
thereof. and such an outrage upon the
weak countries of Hawaii and Nicara'
qua are ridiculed abroad as coward
" and contemplate.

ALL WHO knew Washington person
ally were impressed by the quiet dig
nifty of his demeanor. During the
whole time that he was President of
the United States he was accustomed to
come, unattended, to the Capitol. One
morning before his arrival 4 party of
his personal friends stood in one of the
chambers discussing the dignified yet
modest bearing of their illustrious
friend. Prominent among these gentle
men was Gouverneur Morris, whose
unfailing good spirits not unfrequently
led him to perpetuate a practical joke.
One of the company remarked that
such was Washington's natural dignity
of manner that it was impossible to
take liberty with him. The CONVEX
sation grew more and more animated,
when Gouverneur Morris exclaimed, 81
wager, gentlemen, that l can take such
a liberty with him without giving the
General the slightest ofense."
The wager was accepted, of course,
and as President Washington entered
the building Gouverneur Morris met
him, and accosted him with slap on
the shoulder, accompanied by the
words, "And how are you this morn
morning, old fellows"
Washington made no reply, but sim
ply turned and looked at his friend.
Gouverneur Morris left him at once,
and returning to the company said,
"You are right, gentlemen; it is i'm
possible to take liberty with Wash
ington, and 1 shall never attempt such
q thing again. You have won the
wager, gentlemen" The great man
had reproved the familiarity of his
friend by look, which was more elo-
uuent than thousand words.

BUFoRD's STRENGTH.-The Rich

appeal says:
We have the opinion of a wholesale
merchant of this city who is making a
very lively interest in the gubernatorial
fight. He says he has studied the lay
of the ground and is firmly convinced
that Col. Buford will come to Rich
mond with more delegates than either
of the other gentlemen. "Why," said
he, ''Buford will sweep everything in
the Danville section of the State and
he will carry Rcckbridge, Botetourt,
Bath, Allegheny and Highland solidly.
He will lead in the Sth district, and in
other portions Of the commonwealth
will get sufficient votes to place him in
fine lead when the first ballot is taken"

In Circuit u

The June term of court closed
Saturday, and for the amount OF
business transacted has no parallel
in the history of Day county. While
the term has been very expensive
it is well to remember that very
little has been done heretofore.
There was 1919 cases on the calander
and about 100 of them we're dis
posed Of.
The trial of the two Indians were
the most expensive OF all, it being
necessary to draw a jury venire OF
$50 to get a jury for both cases.
This was the second time in the
history of the county that any man
has been tried for murder.
Judge Campbell has given great
satisfaction throughout the term,
and the Day county bar speak very
highly of him, both as a judge and
a gentleman.
The local bar distinguished them
selves at this term and no one will
think of going outside for attorneys
no matter how important the case.
