and Beating to Quarters.
BANGKOK, July 2O.-The belIigerent
attitude of the three French gunboats
opposite the middle of the city is causing
great anxiety among the people. They
are cleared for action and are continually
beating to quarters and training their
guns on the Siamese boats that happen to
pass. Siam is doing her best to convince
the French minister that her intentions
are amicable, but freedom in action in
negotiation is much restricted by the
pressure exercised ostensibly by French
war vessels.

Colonel Dan" Grosvenor of Ohio brother
OF the congressman from Athens in that

OF Mr.. Grosvenor, who was II chief of

that Mr.. Carlisle desired to fill the vacan-

were first issued in Bolivia there was
great dcarth of fractional currency. 1t
consequently became the custom to make
change by tearing the bank notes into
fractional pieces of paper money, and the
custom then inaugurated has confined to
the present time. An entire bank note is
therefore n rarity in Bolivia, almost the

KILLED BY HIS BRo1hER-1s-LAw.
The Remains of @. K. Jefries Brought
From Arlington to Roanoke.

Ahe neheins OF u. Il. Jehries Brought
From Arlington to Roanoke.
The body Of G. e. Jeffries, who died
at Arlington, Mcdowell county, w. Va,
last Friday morning from the effects of
wound received April "a at the hand
of John Holland, his eighteen
year.old brother-in.law, was brought to
this city Sunday afternoon and after
being prepared for burial by Oakley &
Woolwine was taken yesterday to the
home OF his brother-in-law, d. r. Bow
man, at 433 John street. Mrs. ID. r.
Bowman, the deceased's sister, was at
her brothers bedside when the end
came, which was peaceful and quiet.
The corpse was accompanied here by
Mrs. Bowman and by the bereaved
widow and her infant daughter. The
funeral was conducted yesterday after
noon from the residence by Rev. w. Il.
Hammer and the interment took place
at the City Cemetery.
The circumstances surrounding the
death Of this prominent and respected
young man, who was only 20 years old,
are peculiarly sad. He was in his room
in the presence of his wife and baby re-
Ginning on lounge, when Holland en-
tered the room and made some insolent
remark to Mrs. Jeffries, which was re-
buked by Mr.. Jeffries. Whereupon
young Holland, who was intoxicated,
drew his knife and plunged it into the
breast of Jeffries. Tue left lung was
penetrated and two ribs fractured by the
blow. Everything known to medical
science was done, but frequent ASSESSES
formed on the lungs and he died last
Friday.
John Holland, the youthful murderer,
at once escaped into the woods near by
and has not been heard from since, al
though detectives have looked in every
direction. His relatives fear that when
he became sober and realized the mag
nitude OF his awful crime life became
uncomfortable and that he ended his ex.
istence with his own hand.
Mr.. d. 4. Bowman is travelling in the
South and telegram could not reach
him in time to come home. The deceased
has four other sisters, none of whom
were able to reach here in time for the
burial, one being in Boston, one in
Philadelphia, one in Florida and one in
Lynchburg, who is sick.
