Mr.. Ransom's Dilemma.

The Treasury Department records
show that ex-senator Ransom has
drawn in salary aud expenses as min
lister to Mexico about S., 1000, of which
81, 275 was for salary up to June LIST.
The last payment made to him was
on June 22d for ST. 400, which included
his May salary. Now that the legal
phrase of the case has been settled ad-
versely to Mr.. Ransom, Auditor Hol
comb, who is responsible for all
money wrongfully paid through his
office, will, following his usual Gus
tom, in case MI. Ransom is
reappointed, withhold his salary until
the accumulation equals the amount
wrongfully paid him. This is only,
of course, in case Mr.. Ransom does
not straighten out the matteg by re
turning all the money heretofore paid
HIM and appeal to Congress for the
payment of the salary thus returned.

WRECK ON THE SOUTHERN.
Express Messenger KiIIed-Miss Mol
lie Spaugh on the Train.

A bad wreck occurred last Sunday
morning on the Southern road, near
Blacksburg, S. G. The Northbound
passenger train, No. 36, jumped the
track and many of the cars were bad
ly damaged. Express Messenger
Greer is the only one reported killed.
Several passengers were injured. A
special train was made up at Char
lotte and it passed Greensboro on
schedule time. On account of the
accident, no Southern mail was re-
ceived in Winston Sunday.
LATER.-Miss Mollie Spaugh arr1v-
ed here on the 11:30 train Monday from
San Antonio, Texas, where she has
been since July. She was one Of the
passengers on the train that jumped
the track. She was in the sleeper

manned on the track. Miss Spaugh
says that considering the damage
there was very little excitement
among the passengers, all of whom
were severely shaken up. The acct
dent occurred this side Of Mt. Airy,
Ga, and the passengers were sent
back there for breakfast. The road
is very crooked where the train jump
ed the track and the engineer was
making good time.

THEToRacco TRUST.
Heavy Fall in Stock of the American
Tobacco Company.

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-Speculation
Company dominated today's share
market. During the past few days
rumor has been busy with the affairs
Of this property, and there are evil
dences of workings of plans to de-
press the values of its shares, the lead
er of which appears to be a well-known
bear operator who is noted for the
methods he adopts to create specuia-
tive situations. When the attack on
the tobacco trust was begun reports
were circulated that independent to-
bacco manufacturers in the West and
South were combining against it with
the purpose of creating general
liquidation of the coElpahy's stock
At the opening of the campaign ten
days ago the stock stood at 1144, and
from that time up to last Saturday
night it was put down from l to 3 per
cent. a day, closing Saturday night at
104b. This morning, under increased
pressure, it opened as the stock eX-
change official quotation gives it,
SO, 500 shares from 1929 to 10I," which
means that sales were made in the to-
bacco pool at high and low figures at
about the same time, so heavy was
the rush to sell.
Throughout the entire day the sell
ing movement was carried on and the
last sale was at 90. the lowest figure
touched, which is 12b per cent. below
the final figure of Saturday. Charges
have been made That insiders in the
company, after creating a market for
these shares, have been unloading
them upon the public. The preferred
stock OF the company broke 4 per
cent. to LOG. In the general market
speculation was firm at the opening.
When the break came in tobacco most
of the other shares dealt in became
heavy and receded.
In the final dealings there was re-
newal OF the depression and the mar
changes evenly divided between gains
and losses. but mostly in the fractions.
The foreign trading was light. Bonds
were strong with sales of 81 1855, 600.

Sermon by Bishop RondshaIer
at determination. Etc,

at determination, Etc.
Sunday was a bright and happy
occasion in Moravian circles, it being
the appointed day for the reopening
of the Salem Home Church, which
was closed early in June for the pur-
pose of general renovation.
AT an early hour the church band
played number of hymn tunes in the
tower as is the custom on festal occa-
sions, thus beautifully and appropri-
ately opening the services of the day.
This was followed at 10 o'clock by the
opening festal service and at eleven
the sermon was preached by Bishop
Rondthaler on the text: Awake,
awake; put on thy strength, o Zion;
put on thy beautiful garments, o
Jerusalem, Isaiah 52:1.
The Bishop referred in his opening
remarks to the history of the church
building and the various changes
which it had undergone since its
opening in the years 1900.
Twenty-Five years ago it was reno
waited, on which occasion the rededi-
catory sermon was preached by the
late r. p. Lineback. At this time
Rev. A. L. Deter was pastor of the
Salem congregations; telegram was
received from Mr. Oerter who is now
residing at bethlehem, Pa, as editor
of 1.-THE Moravian."

Again in the year 1885 the church
was thoroughly overhauled, and now
once more during the present summer.
The Bishop emphasized this
thought: cit Is not so much ques-
tion as to whether the renewed build
ing, with its beautiful appointments,
suits US, as it is, do we suit the
sanctuary, are our hearts and Olives
today renewed, clean and fair ?"
The very large congregation which
thronged the building listened with
the closest attention to the Bishops
earnest words of counsel and eXhorta-
tion.
At half past one the Sunday school,
under the Superintendency of MI.
church. The exercises were appro-
pirate to the character of the day.
Later the communion love-feaSt was
partaken of,sbeing followed by the
Holy Communion.
Perhaps the new decorative work
shows beautifully at night under
the electric lights.
The praise service again gathered a
large audience in the evening.
A stirring address, of an historical
nature, was delivered by Rev. A. D.
Th8ler, of Calvary, Winston.
After brief intermission the SER
vices OF the day were concluded by
the second celebration of the Lords
Supper.
Throughout the day the choir
music was ably rendered and formed
a fitting accompaniment to the festal
services. Mr.. VIM. Peterson directed,
being assisted by the Salem Orchestra.
The collections for Moravian mis-
sions in foreign lands exceeded one
hundred dollars.

PIANO DEALERS BEWARE.
Treasurer Worth is Preparing to Col
lect Taxes.

Treasurer Worth has written to
Judge Simonton, of the United States
court, for his decision relative to the
sale of pianos. Mr.. Worth has had
inquiries from a number of persons
regarding the law on the sale of must
cal instruments In the State and he
learns also that the sale of pianos is
going on without license. Mr.. Worth
says that he does not know exactly
the conditions of the Asheville de
cision, but is certain that it does not
touch upon the question at issue. Mr..
Worth holds that when an agent who
has no stock in the State. sells pianos
for a Northern firm, it is not neces-
sary for him to take out a license, but
on the contrary where an agent car
ries stock in trade it is necessary for
him to take out license.
Acknowledgement Osborne agrees
with Mr.. Worth in this matter. The
Treasurer will, in few days, issue a
circular to the sheriffs of the various
counties calling on them to enforce
the law.
The case is parallel to the case
against the Iron Range Company,
against which the State got de-
ciSiOn.

PRAYER COULD NOT SAVE HER.
Christian Science Cranks Responsible
for Death of Woman.

RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 19.-The
peculiar conditions surrounding the
death of Mrs. r. A. Betemcourt has
created intense excitement in this
city. The husband of the deceased
came here from New York about a
year ago to take position with an
insurance company. Last Thursday
night his wife died of typhoid fever
after an illness of twenty-one days,
during which she was not allowed the
attention Of physician or trained
nurse.
Her husband is a Christian Scientist,
and depended upon prayer to save his
wife. Daily the little band of persons
here whose views were the same as his
own, gathered at BetemcOurt'S resi-
dence and implored the Divine Being
TO heal the woman. AS she grew
worse, Rev. Mr.. Cannon, Christian
Scientist minister, of New York, was
sent for, and came and did all he could
to save the patient. The lady was
buried yesterday, and Retemcourt left
at once for New York, but will re-
turn. 1t is said that official investi-
CATION may be made of the case.

THE SMALLPOX IN PATRICK.
Hal: to Threaten q, Shoot the Negroes
to Make Them Obey.

TO Make Them obey.
THE SENTINEL IS in receipt of the
following letter written by the ply
sicianS in charge Of the smallpox
cases at Stella, Patrick county, to DR..
George L. Waller, health officer of
Martinsville. The letter reads as fol-
lows aud explains itself:
Your letter just received requesting
me to give you true statement in re-
gard to smallpox in this county. l
reply at once with pleasure.
DR.. l. 3. James. of Dauviile, Va.
and myself called to see family OF
negroes about a mile from Stella. in
this county, on the 28dh day Of July
and found eight negroes, one that had
been dead about two hours. His face
was solid scab, and his body covered
with palpular eruption. Six of the
living had smallpox. One man that
had been vaccinated had no disease.
None of the others had been vaccinat-
ed. The woman that gave the small
poX was in this house and had never
been vaccinated. We then went
about eight miles North of Stella and
found seven cases of small pOx on the
land of Virgil Anthony, and one dead.
We then went about three miles
North and found four more cases that
was quite low with small pox, covered
with palpular eruption, and one dead.
About hale of the cases were marked
and could be called typical cases of
smallpox.
After several days hard work we
found that every one that had been
-0Sed had taken smallpox with the
teption of the man that had been
vaccinated. No white people have
been exposed except the doctors. The
county employed us at once to look
after all cases that could be found in
the county. We worked day and
night for four or five days and Sleep
ing in the woods at times, until we
had all quarantined that we deemed
necessary. We had two good rifles
and had to make some of the negroes
think we would shoot them if they
would not obey. At this time we
have only five patients that are con-
fined to the bed, and only two that we
are uneasy about. l am sure three or
four of the patients would have died
if we had been few days later. We
now have the disease under our con-
troll, and the only danger that l fear
is that some of the patients might
run away like the woman that came
from Roanoke, though we watch them
day and night the best we can. do
not think it necessary to quarantine
against any of the white people as
none of them have been exposed, but
quarantine against all negroes, and be
on the look out for stray negroes.
We have contracted to wind up all
cases now on hand for given
amount.
If you wish l will keep you posted
once or twice week. Do not listen
to any rumOrS.
Yours truly,

Health Officer of Patrick Co.,
