Farmville Messenger.

The rapid growth of Norfolk is a
matter of wonder to even her own
citizens. The VIRGINIAN, of which
Mr.. Glennan is the enterprising edi-

factor in the wonderful success and
growth of this beautiful city by the
sea. The Issue of The VIRaINlAN of

pages and contained a review OF the
business of Norfolk for the year
1894 and comparison with the
trade of 1884. 1t showed that the

was about $4,000; it is now $4,000.

TOPEKA. Kan. Aug. 29.-AIrs. Anna l..
Diggs, the agitator, and DR.. s. McLallin,
editor of the Advocate, the official paper
of the Populist party IN kansas, have
just returned from Montrose county
Colorado, where they have been TO estab-
lish the Montrose county cooperative
colony. The colony is to be conducted on
the Bellamy plan and is being promoted
by the same organization that a year ago
perfected arrangements for establishing
a colony on the Potomac river, about fifty
miles below Washington. the Potomac
location was abandoned, Mrs Digs says
because of it's unhealthfulness The
Colorado colony is to be located on gov
eminent land which will be taken up un-
der the homestead and deseret land act
law. Intending colonists have already
filed upon 5000 acres of land and ten men
have located there and begun work, max
ing preparations for the reception of the
colonists and their families. Other mem
bers of the proposed colony will in a
few days file upon fully 5000 acres more
Mrs. Diggs now claims residence in
Colorado and says that one reason why
that state was selected for her colony is
that women there have their political
rights, and that she is tired OF battling
for them elsewhere without result.

ADDRESS TO DEMOCRATS.
Kentucky Committee Has Completed
Its Work.


Its Work.
LOUISVILLE, Aug. 29.-The sub
committee of five appointed by the
state central committee for the pur-
pose of drafting an address, to the
Democratic voters of Kentucky have
completed their work The address will
be given to the public as soon as the
signature of Mr.. Uriah Woodson, of
Owensboro, has been obtained. A
copy has been mailed to Mr. Woodson
for his signature, the other four mem
bers having already signed it.
The address urges and exhorts every
good Democrat in the state to stand
by the platform and the ticket nomi-
mated by the state convention. 1t asks
that differences between the party
leaders be ignored. Differences upon
economic questions are deplored, but
the Democrats are asked to leave
those problems to the national con-
ventfon for settlement and to unite in
their efforts to perpetuate good gov
eminent in Kentucky. The tone of
the address is conciliatory and those
who participated in the conference say
there is nothing in it which the most
radical sound money or free silver man
cannot approve with a good grace.

Denver Excited.

DENVER, Aug. 29.-Denver is great
" excited over the boycott declared by
the two factions in San Francisco, and
it is not improbable that there will be
trouble in the city because Of it.
l.. G. Chung, the leader Of the Chi
nese here, one of the most prominent
Cinnamon in the country, said today:
'@This boycott is assuming a serious
aspect. The trouble all originated over
jealousy of power. Only a short time
ago a prominent Sam Yup was killed
by a See Yup.
Now, after this See Yup was ar
rested he offered to give bail. but
Consul-General Lii Wing Yew objected
to his having bail Immediately the
See Yups said that the consul-genera1
was in sympathy with the Sam Yups,
and a general order of boycott was
sent broadcast that no See Yup shall
trade or have any business relation
with any Sam Yup.
1.-The consul-general, Lii Wing Yew,
is trying to act neutral. He says his
action was intended to keep the ar
rested man from stirring up trouble"

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-The Chinese
minister at the state department today
held conference of an hours duration
with Acting Secretary Adee and Third
Assistant Secretary Rockhill. concerning
the progress of the investigation into the
Chinese riots. The minister informed the
department that he had received advices
from the Pekin authorities that the in
Vestigat ton was making satisfactory pro-
gress and the minister gave renewed as
surance of the determination of the Chin
ese imperial authorities % press the in
quiry and punish the perpetrators.
The statement by the Chinese minister
was in line with the information re-
ceiVed already from Minister DENLY and
confirmed all he had stated
The minister assured the secretary that
ne called upon the express direction OF
MS government as received in a cable
dispatch from the Chinese foreign Office
10 convey direct official assurance of the
desire on the part of the Pekin authori-
ties to make adequate PREPARATION for the
injury done to American interests by
the Chinese rioters and set at rest the
reports which represent a different spirit
on the part of the Chinese.
He said the cablegram brought aSsur-
ance of the co-oneration of the Chinese
authorities in getting at the facts of the
riots and confirmed the information al
ready received that Consul Hixson was
sitting in the inquiry at Ku Cheng with
the Taotai Hsu Sing. He also says that
several of the rioters had already been
convicted, but that the extent of their
punishment had not yet been determined
The visit was a formal one and was
made in strict accord with diplomatic
etiquette. The secretaries we're advised
in advance of the coming of the minister
who was accompanied by two members
of his suite. Everything was done ap-
parently to convince the Americans of the
earnest desire the Chinese have to MAIN
tain the most cordial relations with the
people of the country.

The Democratic primaries held last
night were very successful. In the
city wards, with one or two exceptions,
the people came out in large numbers,
filling the various halls where the
meetings were held. They were all
enthusiastic and seemed ready to work
hard for the party this fall. They did
not take a gloomy view of the situa-
ton. On the contrary, they felt sat
ished that in the coming fight the
Democrats have an equally good
cRance with the Republicans.
In all the wards where there was any
expression Of opinion the sentiment
was strongly for j. L. Rawiins for
senator. Several wards instructed
their delegates for him. In every
precinct he carried at least a
majority of the delegation. So much
can be said with certainty, While it is
probable that later developments will
show that there is little or no OPPOSE
ton, and that Our joe made clean
sweep Of everything in sight.
This, however, does not carry with it
a clean victory for the proposition to
nominate senators by the state con-
vention. That question is wholly sep
arate from any personality of any
candidate, many of the strongest sup
Rorters Of candidates being divided
a;Song themselves as to the advisable
lty of taking this action. 1t cannot be
tod now how the county convention
would be likely TO stand on this ques-
ton.
81 There was no lively contest between
opposing factions in any part of the
city. OF course, there was the excite
ment always at ndant upon primar-
les. but Democrats left each gath ering
with the best of feeling.
Delegates were elected to the county

& cera house on Saturday.

DENVER, Aug. ga special to the
News from Central City, Colo, says:
The accidental flooding of the Ameri-
Gus and Sleepy Hollow mines this af-
ternoon caused the death, it is believed,
of thirteen miners. Every effort is be-
ing made to rescue the unfortunate
men but little hope is entertained.
Waters Break Through.
A little after o'clock, the water in
the lower workings of the Fisk mine,
east of the main shaft, broke through
the old workings of vein that had
not been worked for a number of years.
Coursing eastward, it struck the Amer
icus, where two Italian miners, whose
names have not been learned, were at
work in the lower part OF the shaft
They were both drowned. In it's course
the water diverted to the Sleepy Hol-
low mine, the easterly portion of the
Fisk vein. Fourteen men were working
in the Sleepy Hollow, three of whom
escaped. a courier was sent to the ad-
jacent mines and all their workmen es-
capped.
Those in Sleepy Hollow whose escape
was shut off were as follows: n. We

More Mute Witnesses Against the
Eiend Holmes.


Fiend Holmes.
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 29.-The drug
with which Howard Pietzel was killed
before the body was burned in the big
stove in Irvington Cottage was found to-
day. Part of bottle of cyanide of po-
tassium was found buried in the barn.
Boys digging under Holiness house in
an unfinished portion of the cellar, found
two feet of Howard Pietzel They had
been burned but not destroyed and evil
IDENTIFY were too bulky to put into the
chimney hole. With the feet was found
a fiye-quart can. There was some coal
oil in it. The grand jury is hearing tes-
timony today and will return an indict-
ment against Holmes
Late this evening, while some small
boys were digging around the Holmes
cottage at Irvington, they unearthed two
bottles of aconite, one of which was
empty They were found near where
some of the Pietze1 boys bones were
found and were buried by H. H. Holmes.
From this discovery, it is thought that
Holmes also used aconite in disposing of
his victims. The quantity found would
indicate that he intended numbering the
girls here also, but was frightened away
