tai receipts on all accounts were S724,- :
0O3, ,53S, and the expenditures $69S, ,90S,-
552.
The treasurer remarks that the i'm
pairment OF the gold reserve. rendering
necessary tho issue OF bonds in Febru-
ary, was caused chiefly by the depletion
OF the treasury resulting from insutfi-
cient revenues. Even when the supply
of paper had become so reduced that
the treasury was Obliged to pay out
large sums OF gold in the ordinary dis
bursements, the coin was freely return
ed In the revenues.
The net proceeds for the February
gold loan was about S39. 500, 600 and this
together with gain OF Sl,500,0OO in
gold from ordinary sources brought up
the reserve from S65, ,000,0 900 TO S10S, ,500.-
600, while the net assets Of the treasury,
with an excess OF 100000 OF expendi-
lures over receipts for the month Of
February increased from SIZE, 900, 900 TO
100000. During the succeeding
months, till the end Of the first weak in
August, the reserve was affected by de-
ficient revenues and Withdrawals Of gold
for export. The lowest point touched
by the reserve was $50, lS9, 500 on August
Z, 1894.
The amount OF the new issue Of
United States paper currency put into
circulation during the year was $780,
800, 100, having been exceeded but
once, in 1892. The amount Of worn and
mutilated notes redeemed was S3l9, ,002,-
200. This also has been exceeded but
once, in 1898. The total paper circula-
ton reached its highest point in May
last, when it stood at Sl,175. 600. 900.

TEN TsIs, Nov. 22.-Reliable informa-

shows that an attack OF the Japanese
drove in the Chinese ou.posts. Three
other attacks were subsequently made,
but in each instance the japanese were
repulsed.
Heavy and incessant firing has been
going on since noon Tuesday. The
Japanese are landing additional troops.

WASHINGTON, D. O., Nov. 22.-The
Chinese have lost the finest and most
powerful vessel Of their nayy-the great
battleship oheu Yuen, which stood the
brnnt OF the fighting at Yalu. The news
came to the navy department in cable
gram received to-day. Il states that the
Chen Yuen in leaving Wei Hal Wei
harbor on tho 18th inst, accidentally
struck torpedo. She was beached,
but was rendered useless for lack OF
docking facilities. In despair at the
catastrophe, the commander, Commo-
dore Lin, committed suicide.
The Chen Yuen was. a magnificent
fighting machine very much like our
own battleship Maine. She was built
in Europe in 1882 and was Of Z ,4S0 tons
displacement. It would appear from
the facts in the cable that the ship fell q
victim to one Of the torpedoes planted
by the Chinese themselves to guard the
entrance to Wei Hal Wei, which was
the last OF the great naval strongholds
Of the empire save Port Arthur, now
tottering to its fall. 1t was as well that
Commodore Lin committed suicide for
he would doubtless have been decapi-
tated as the result of his error. II is be-
lieved here that this loss has deprived
the Chinese navy Of Its offensive power.
There remains the Ting Yuen, another
powerful battleship, and few lesser iron
clads, but without the aid OF the Chen
Yuen they would hardly dare to make
an offensive campaign and probably will
remain in ports to assist in the defense.

LYNCHBURG, June 28.-Roanoke bat
hits and Lynch! urg batters could not.
That was perhaps a sufficient reason for
Roanoke to win the game, but as il it
was not enough, the homo team had to
contend against the rottenest umpiring
ever seen hero, and Lynchburg got the
worst OF It. One rank decision excited
the ind gnation Of the crowd to such an
extent that it looked for time as
though the umpire would be put off the
grounds bodily.
Ellis was on first and Boyd drew
back to pitch then made balk, threw
the ball to first and caught Ellis be-
tween bases. Tho balk was 80 plain
that whom tie umpire called Ellis out
instead OF giving him a base the spec
tators were Infatuated. A score of men
started toward the diamond. but cool
counsel prevailed and the game went on.
Roanoke made four runs in the first
inning on O'Hagan's two Dagger, Crock
EFT getting base on balls and hits by
McIiooverter and Cavanaugh and q wild
throw to third by Boucher.
LynchburR's half of the fourth had
some results. Sullivan hit to right
field, made third and scored on passed
ball. Wynne hit to left and McGetti
gan came in on 6 passed ball. Wynne
scored on a wild throw.
In the sixth. for Roanoke, Frech,
Demoss and o III agan made hits, scoring
Frech. In the seventh for Lynch burg
Wynne got a base on balls, and Web
ster smashed the ball over the fenc
j ODE hit to left field, stole second and
scored on wild throw from hrst to

This gavo Lynchburg ono run ahead,
but Roanoke got her lead back with
interest in the same inning. McHooveter

Sheriff Dangerfield Shoots An Escaped
Prisoner-Other Notes.
BLUEFIELD, w. Va, June 2s.-About
three months ago, Tom Dickinson,
colored, was committed to the county
jail at Princeton, to serve a term at
hard labor, as penalty Tor felony.
About the first OF juno he broke guard
while working around the Jail premises
and escaped. Vigilant search was
made, but he rem aimed at large until
yesterday.
1t seems that he had been South, bnt
for some reason returned to Bluefeld a
few days since. On Monday Sheriff
Dangerfeld received notice that Dickin-
son was here and immediately rode
over to capture him. Finding him in
East Bluefield, near the woods, Danger
field told him that he must go back to
Princeton with him. The negro gave
the sheriff sullen glance, and then
broke for the woods Springing from his
horse DAngerheld gave pursuit. but see
ing that the negro was about 10 escape.
he cried out. Stop, or will shoot you"
The negro took no heed of the warn
ing, which was repeated several times,
and then Dangerfield fired three times,
two OF the shots taking effect, one in the
hip and ono near the right shoulder
blade Dangerlield took his r.soncr to
comfortable quarters and secured the
services OF DR.. Holland, and brought the
man to the city.
The balls. which are 80 calibrn, have
not been extrac ed, but the negro seems
TO be doing well and enjoyed a smok G.
after breakfast very much. He is a
desperate character, having declared
ClAt II he was ever ta1<aD haclr RI
Princeton it would be on stretcher.
Dan Peters, charged with the theft OF
asaddle, bride and halter and suspec ted
OF horse stealing, waived trial before the
examining court and WAS taken to the
Princeton Jail by Constab BILE Nash.
The late moonshine raid was brought
about through the energy of M. G
Witten, deputy collector of internal
revenue. Witten made a daring scout
ing trip through the very midst OF the
moonshiners' region. He passed himself
oil as sheep buyer; and thus, alone and
unprotected, located the dis illeries 8.
And then he returned to Bluefield by
riding all night, and led his posse of
deputies to the scene of the capture re-
ported in THE TINES.

day to an audience of about 800 people.
His subject was From Barroom TO

worthy Of mention. And it is feared
that some OF the citizens, espe cially one
doctor, got very wrathy. Mr.. Smalls
forte was biting ridlcule and sparkling

his vulgar jokes much to be depric ated
