REMARKABLE PHENOMENON
Witnessed Wednesday by DR.. Booth
and Some Friends.
Carriers Grove" Va. July $. 1896

Carriers Grove" Va, July 8. 1895.
To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
A very remarkable and peculiar phenom-
enon was witnessed here late this after
noon. something never before observed by
those who saw this strange appearance
Or. Carter Berkeley, Professor Richard
May, and the writer were sitting on the
porch looking at the storm-clouds as they
were passing over James river. when Mr.
May exclaimed, What Is that up tho
iiVerT As we looked towards James
town Island We could distinctly observe.
about eight miles up the James. a large
and well-defined black cloud passing RAJ
pidly across the river IN the shape OF ain
inverted cone, the lower end seeming to
dip down into the water. with it, long
neck partly submerged. and the big upper
portion reaching the sky. This funnel
shaped thing was followed by several
others of smaller size. all well marked
and separated from one another, resem-
bling bodies Of black. dark smoke. Little
Lizzie Tyler. OF Williamsburg. and John
Thomson Booth had Just put on their
suits, and were bathing In the river. In
charge Of an older person. They quickly
came out Of the water and hurried 20 the
house, frightened by the wonderful apps-
rition Lizzie exclaiming the thought Hog
island was on fire" and John saying he
believed iudgment-day had come"
These clouds were awful TO look upon.
One OF them in the row had projected to-
wards the sky long. curved. black line.
As they reached the north bank OF the
James all seemed 10 converge. forming
an immense purple-looking cloud. and
moving with Increased velocity In the d.
rection OF Williamsburg perhaps a little
above the ancient city.
Those who witnessed this interesting
phenomenon will not forget Il. The family
at this place. as well as our guests, were
all excited as they watched the watery,
black. panoramic scene. Shall we hear OF

warning factions in the Town Council are
no nearer a settlement or their difficulty
now than before. There are nine mem
bers. one faction is composed OF five
members, and II they would only get to-
gether could proceed 10 have things their
own way. But for various reasons they
have not met They called a meeting for
last Monday afternoon. but did not nave
a quorum, as one OF their number failed
10 attend. An ordinance provides that ten
hours notice must be given OF called
meeting. which was not done In this case
and the other faction would not attend
eaving the meeting was irregular. The
latter four. however. attended the regular
meeting that night. at which the Mayor
preslded and adjourned over until to-
LII, when the same four attended. But
90 there was no quorum again they adj

RoayoKE's INTEREST.
The city Treasurer Ready TO '"y
All COuDOns.

ROANOKE. VA, July 9.-(speclal)-
Tho renort sent from Baltimore that Roa-
make had defaulted in the pay ment OF the
sorri-annual interest on It's bonded In
dehtedness is only partially true On
the lat OF July City-Treasurer Thomas,
through the delay In the payment or
taxes had only enough cash on hand 10
nav about half Of this interest; but ieah-
ina, businessmen learning the condition
OF affairs. conferred with the Board or
Trade. which, through It's president, MI
". It. Deaton, decided that all or TINS
sum about $4,000, must be met. Accord
irglv a committee was appointed 10 confer
with some OF the heaviest taxpayers. who
promptly agreed TO pay portion or their
taxes sufficient 10 meet the indebtedness.
Through their patriotic action the fuil
amount OF interest has been secured. ana
the City Treasurer Is ready 10 pay ali
coupons when presented.
This condition OF affairs was in no sense
due 10 the deadlock in electing a
President Of the City Council. nor was
the Arrangement for the payment OF the
interest brought about By the election
OF a president of that body, as the ac-
ton OF the Board OF Trade was taken
some time before the first meeting OF
the new Council and the agreement
was effected several days before the dead
lock had been broken.
There has been some delay I'm the col
lection Of taxes but at no time has there
been any danger OF a permanent default
by the city IN the payment OF the interest
on it's bonded debt.

Gov. O'FerrnIi Declined TO Honor the

Governor O'Ferrall had before him yes
terday quite an interesting extradition
case. which, in somewhat different form,
was nassed upon by Judge Hughes in the
United States Court few weeks ago.
1t was that OF George w. Slanson. for
whom the Governor OF Tennessee issued
a requisition upon the charge OF having
applied to his own use some N,oso De-

for slanson, and Judge l.. /. Lewis was

THE ENDEAV0RERS.
Storm Of Wednesday Destroyed One Of
Their Big Tents.
ATTENDANCE MUCH CUT DOWN..
This Also Due to the Recent Wide
spread Wind and Rnfn-storms-
Virginia Rcinforcements Arriving
at the Federal Capital.

WASHINGTON. d. c., July 9.-(Spe-
clal 1.-THE storm of yesterday broke forth
with such force and fury about 2 o'clock
this morning as to sweep away an i'm
mense number of the decorations so
lavishly displayed in honor OF the big
Christian Endeavor Convention. The
wind was accompanied by binding sheets
OF rain. and such was its power that
one of the three great tents-the willis
ton"-in rear OF the white House. was
blown down, and so completely wrecked
as to be unavailable for the present con-
vention. The heavy canvas is torn into
shreds in some places, and the guy-ropes
and small poles are badly broken and
smashed. The two remaining tents
"Endeayor" and Washington
less exposed. survived the storm, and
were saved by a force OF workmen, who
were hurried to the scene as soon as the
Williston collapsed.
Though there IS much regret among the
local Endelvorers over the destruction of
the Wiliston tent, which was admirably
constructed as TO seating. and most elabo-
rately decorated, IL is believed there Will
be ample room I'm the remaining tents to
conduct the services and carry out the
fun programme OF the convention, as
originally mapped out
ATTENDANCE CUT DOWN.
This is the more certain now, since the
attendance has been heavily cut off by
the severe Wind-storms and heavy rains
Of the past few days. Thousands were
kept away from neighboring States. who
would have come but for the Indictment
weather. The Virginia crowd has been
seriously lessened, though they continue
to arrive to-day In small parties and
sounds From Pennsylvania the enor-
nous number OF 5000 were expected, and
it is stated to-day that only 500 had
registered so FAR.
The weather to-day Is partially clear
| and the Endeavorers are hopeful that the
remainder Of the week will be pleasant
and the convention the success II was
/ hoped 1t would be.
Small parties OF gaudily-badged and
| brightly-gashed and otherwise decorated

Containing those Southern Roots and Herbs

II Will cure oil Diseases caused by Derange-
ment Of the Liver and Bowels.
The SYMPTOMS of Liver Complaint are a
bitter or bad taste in the MOUTH Pain IN the
Back, Sides or Joints, often mistaken for Rheu-
fnatisnn; Sour Stomach; Loss Of Appetite;
Bowels alternately costive and lax; Headaches
Loss Of Memory with a painful sensation of
having failed to do something which ought TO
have been done; Debility; Low Spirits, thick
yellow appearance OF the Skin and Eyes, dry
Cough often mistaken for Consumption.
Sometimes many Of these symptoms attend
the disease at others very few; but the LIVER
is generally the seat Of the disease, and II not
Regulated IN time, great suffering, wretched-
ness and DEATH will ensue.
The following highly esteemed persons attest
TO the virtues Of simmons Liver Regulator;

I'VE have tested its virtues, personally, and
know that for Dyspepsia, Biliousness and
Ihrobbing Headache II Is the best medicine the

us more than temporary relief; but the l<cgu-

ment which closed Mt Washington Satur-
day. The youths skin and accuracy in
tho management OF the ball ana mallet
were simply unapproachablc, even by the
Oldest and heretofore the best players Of

have won all of the eight games in
which he was entered. His antagonists
included the ex-champion of the United
States and Others OF nationsl renown.
but DIR. Veasey OF Wilmington, Della
ware, was the only one who scored vic
tory over him.
TWO OF the gsmos were taken by
Duryea before his opponent passed sim
gle wicket, and one game was won on a
single play.
