Speaking of valuable and rare relics. the Tuskaloosa Evening Times says: We were accorded the privilege today of viewing some rather unique and inter- esting relics of the eighteenth century. They were a wooden knife and fork and a seal made of ivy wood, the handiworl of Lieut.. w. Withers of Virginia, gall lant officer in the colonial army and grand-uncle of Miss Mary MeGown of Tuskaloosa. The articles are artistically wrought and their appearance gives evi- dence of much practical use. The seal is carved with the words, Lieut.. w. Withers, 1767" The knife and fork were made on one of the battlefields of the revolutionary war The articles are in the possession of Miss McGown, who naturally prizes them very highly.

DIED SIDE BY SIDE.
Breaking Home Ties" Was
Painted by Mr.. HOvenden.
The Great Popularity of His
Famous Picture.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 15.-Thomss
Hovenden, the famous artist was killed
by Pennsylvania railroad freight train
near Norristown last evening. He met
hero's death trying to saw ethe life of a
little girl. The sacrifice of Mr.. Hoven-
den's life was useless. because the child
that he attempted to save also met her
death beneath the wheels of the engine
that ground out the life of the artist.
The accident occurred at a grade
crossing on the Trenton cut of of the
Pennsylvania road The Chestnut
Hill trolley company's tracks
run up to the tracks of
the railroad at the point where the acct
dent occurred. but do not cross them.
Trolley passengers leave the car at their
tracks and cross the latter OH foot to
take a trolley car on the opposite side.
Mr.. Hovenden was a passenger on
one of the cars, as was Mrs. Clara PETER
and her 10-year- old daughter, Bessie. A
train. was approaching the crossing as
the passengers on the trolley car alight-
ed. The little girl did not notice
the grooming train and she ran ahead
of her mother to cross the tracks. She
seemed confused, and awaited her COM
ing death without attempting to avoid it.
Mr.. Hovenden rushed forward and
snatched Bessie in his arms.
Before he could get away the pilot of
the engine struck the artist and hurled
him across the track with terrible force.
The engineer stopped his train and he
and his fireman ran to where Mr.. Hoven-
den and the lit:le girl we're lying side by
side. The artist was dead and the child
died as she was raised from the ground.
Thomas Hovenden was one of the lead
ing artists that America has produced
His best known painting, "Breaking
Home Ties," has been engraved probably
more than the work of any other Ameri-
can artist and is familiar object OF the
walls of thousands of homes in the Unite
States. The painting was one of the
most able of the groups at the Worlds
| fair.
A more recently painted picture OF
note was his bringing Home the Bride, .
which was exhibited at the Worlds fair
and again in 1894 in the Academy of
Fine Arts, Philadelphia.

The Outrages in China and Turkey Are
Spoken OF.
LONDON, Aug. 15.--After the house of
commons reassembled today the mem
bers were summoned to the house of
lords with the usual formalities and the
queens speech was read by the lord
chancellor, Baron Salisbury. It was as
follows:
"MY LORDS AND GENrLEMEN-The
communications which receive from
foreign powers assure me of the contin-
uation of their good will I am happy to
say that no International complications
culated to endanger the peace of
Europe. The war between China and
Japan, which was in progress at the
opening of the last session has been
brought to conclusion by peace which
I trust will endure. l observed strict
neutrality during the war and have taken
no action in respect thereto except such
as appears to me likely to be favorable
to termination of hostilities.
81 deeply regret to say that the most
atrocious outrages upon a body of Eng
Iish missionaries are reported from the
province of Flu KEN, in China. In re-
ply to earnest representations addressed
to the Chinese government by my direc-
ton, active measures which | trust will
prove effective are being taken for the
punishment of the murderers and all
persons in any degree responsible for
these crimes
"The international troubles which have
broken out in the Armenian districts of
Asiatic Turkey have been attended with
horrors which have moved to indignation
the Christian nations of Europe gener-
ally and mine especially. My ambas-
sador and the ambassadors of the en-
peror of Russia and the president of the
French republic, acting together, have
suggested to the government of the sui
tan reforms which, in their opinion, are
necessary to prevent a recurrence of
constant disorder. These proposals are
now being considered by the sultan, and
I am anxiously awaiting his decision"
The speech concludes with reference
to the incorporation of Bechuanaland in
to Cape Colony.
The speech to the commons says that
the estimates for the service of the year
which were not voted at the last session
will be laid before them.
The second portion of the speech says:
"MY LORDS AND GOVERNMENTAL this
season of the year it will probably be
| found more convenient to defer to anoth-
er session the consideration of any i'm
portant legislative measures except those
which are necessary to provide for the
administrative charges of the year."

take in their line. The result was

dizziness in the pit and the absence of any
supporting orders from the outside the
maintenance of value was something to
be wondered at AS the session pro-
crossed the cash inquiry was CORES

with the improvement we'll held.
Corn-There were some lively antics
in the corn pit Good receipts and the
failure of frost to materialize on the
weather map anywhere, caused a rather
weak start with September selling at
361<. There was some confusion con-
corning the weather probabilities, but
the crowd soon settled down into the be-
lief that there might be a frost tonight
and possibly injure the western
crop. As a consequence the cover
ing was fierce, and september got back
up to 38c. Osher deliveries were affected
in like manner. On such quick bulges
as we had today corn wants to be sold.
Oats were moderately active and
higher in price.
Provisions "A weak opening and some
free selling by packers was followed by
good buying on the part of the outside

Hogs receipts $4,000, and for tomorrow
