wounded two other persons, Alexander
Beggs, shot in the left leg, and Katie
Hyres, shot through both knees.
The robber, who is said to he A young
man not over twenty-five or twenty-three
years old, entered the store and while a
man, now thought to he his confederate,
was engaging the attention of Marshall,
he approached Miss Matte Garretson, the
cashier. and demanded what money she
had. She screamed, and Marshall came to
her aid, chasing the young fellow out to
the sidewalk. Just as Marshall emerged
from the door, the robber turned on him
and fired twice, both bullets entering Mar
shall's breast and causing his death before
he could be carried into the stoee.
Jut as the shooting occurred a cable
car stopped on West Madison street Just I'm
front of MarShall'S door. MANY of the mas
sengers. hearing the shots, jumped up TO
see what the matter was. The murderer
thinking they were about to intercept him
as he had started to run across the track
to escape. emptied his revolver at the
crowded car. One bullet hit Miss Hynes
and another struck Mr.. Beggs. who was
walking along the street nearly a block
away. The fellow then ran north on Ann
street, lodged into an alley and ecaped.
West Madison street is a very crowded
street after nightfall. and the murder was
committed in sight of a hundred people
but was done quickly that there was no
chance to apprehend the murderer.
Late last night il was said that Miss
Hynes was very badly injured. and her
death was probable.

The congress of Argentina opened yester-
day at Buenos Ayres, and the message Of
President Uriburn was read. The president
points out that during 1895 the exports
from Argentina exceeded the imports by
S25,O000OO. Abiding to the improving con-
dition of the country, he said that the gov
eminent already possessed in Europe
enough funds to pay all armament con-
tracts. He recommends the liquidation Of
past debts and the unitication OF the exter-

it was not incumbent upon the nation to
pay The latter.

IN AIEMoRIAM.

John y. Jordan walks no more with us
in the pilgrimage of life. He has gone
beyond the vision of men. He was born
in Newbern, Pulaski county, Va, October
%, 1923, and died June 10, 1895. His pa
rents, Michael and Elizabeth Jordan, were
pioneer Methodists of his native county.
Theirs was the preachers home and oft
times their children heard the Gospel pro-
claimed under the family roof. Though
surrounded and brought up amid Chris
tian influences, he never became thor
oughly interested in the subject of relig-
ion until late in life. He had been
student of the Bible for the past ten
years, having read it through several
times. About four years ago, in the city
of Roanoke, he was converted to God I'M
der the ministry of Sam p. Jones He
found in the person of the Lord Jesus the
truest, best friend humanity. ever had
"A great high priest who could be
touched with feeling of his.infirmities.
He was heard to say more than once be-
fore his last illness: 81 will not be in the
world long; l am getting ready for
another country" Being of reticent dis
position, you lad to know him we'll to
appreciate the depths and kind genial
ness of his nature. In many respects his
was remarkable character. In the bat
tie of business life he fought vaiiantly,
and though he went down more than
once in the struggle for success, yet the
irdomitable spirit that was--within him
was never crushed, neither did it yield to
defeat Upon the ruins of his former
hopes he began to lay the foundation
stones for another trial The world could
not down the man. He made many efforts
and every sacrifice in the last years of his
life to leave competency for those who
would survive him
He leaves three daughters whose hearts
are bruised and sore. We grieve with
them in their sorrow. The providential
hand of God has been laid heavily upon
them in the recent days. Just four
months ago God asked of them the re-
turn of the richest jewel that ever shed
its splendor upon a world mother.
Those who would read these provi-
dences Alright must remember that above
the storm and tempest, far above the
darkness and gloom, the Infinite heart of
God throbs with undying love for his
children. Out of the depths voice
speaks, saying: "Whom the Lord loveth
He chasteneth. ''Cast thy burden upon
the Lord and he will sustain thee. ~
Divine Father, send the healing balm of
Thy Holy Spirit into their hearts, that
will enable them to say: "Thy will be
done" VI j. w.

A VENEZUELAN BRIEs.

Mr.. Sterrow, of Boston, Says England
a. Has No Valid Claim.
Washington, ,July 21.-Tbe first part
of brief prepared by JamesJ. Storrow,
of counsel for Senezuela, in conf auction
with Mr.. Scfuggs, the legal adviser of
that government, has just been complet-
ed and submitted for the consideration of
the Venezuelan boundary commission.
The brief is Drained as ae answer to the
general summary of the British case as
set out in the British BlEe Book devoted
to the Venezuelan dispute, and like that
is an argument based opon the evidence
collected by the agents of the government
interested
The brief is regarded at the State De
partnient as most Amportant contribu-
tion tcSthe British Venezuelan question,
as Mr.. Storrow is a Boston practiticner'on
whom Secretary 0tney places great re-
lance
Mr.. Storrow deSotes much of his brief
to an attempt to combat what he regards
as an attempt tc extend the claim be-
yond actual occupation, and applying the
law and facts as lie finds them, he declares
that they give no support to the British
claim, but are specifically and affirmatively
fatal TO it.
d Mr.. Storrow then turns his attention
W Jlt IlIle, against tuc
ming of which Venezuela protested, and
he says that every British ministry except
that of Lord Salisbury, recognized that
it was monstrous and automatically in
admissible upon such fiimsy pretences to
claim that what the English notes calls
the ''Dardanelles of the Orinoco' and
offered to agree to lines which they de-
.clared would secure TO Venezuela the I'M
disturbed possession of the mouth of the
Orinoco.
Lord Salisbury's claims, however, says
Mr.. Storrow: grew every time he recur-
red to the subject, and then proceeds to
point out in great detail how, after
Schomburgk's death and fo1u;yyears after
his survey the British colonial Office dis
covered that all these maps were wrong,
that. Schomburgk's line went around by
the big--bend of the Cuyuni and compelled
the engraver to change all ,of his maps
to correspond, taking the schomburgk
line far westward from iits original
course. Says Mr.. Storrow:
This is perilously near the alteration
OF ancient land marks, spaliation of
records. 1t evidently deceived Lord Sails
bury, who on February Is, 1890 asserted
it to be the line surveyed by Sir r.
Schomburgk in 1871 He did not survey
fhisline in 1S41 or any other year"

TIPPLERS NOT WANTED.

1t is becoming more and more difficult
for tippler-and almost impossible for a
toper-to get situation under any corpo-
ration. Banks, insurance companies,
merchants and business men generally
demand temperance as a qualification for
the employees. The lawyer who drinks to
excess finds that his business is decaying.
The teacher who frequents saloons soons
finds his occupation gone. Not many
years ago there were notorious drunkards
in Congress, but this nuisance has been
greatly abated. The legislatures of all
the States show a similar change Pub
lie sentiment is becoming less and less
tolerant of inebriety. Washington Post

HIGH PRICES PAID FOR A PENNY
Sells for Marg Thousand Times Its
Value.

value.
To sell forS1 $50 what costs two cents
is a pretty fair profit-big enough to sat
isfy the keenest trader. That was what
an article brought recently in London
which at one time no one would have given
more than two CT nts for. In fact, the great
mass humankind would not give more for
IL at the present time unless with view
of finding some one who would be willing
TO give more than its intrinsic value for
it.
1t WIS an English penny which brought
the unheard-of price named. 1t is one of
the rarest coins in the world. 1t is gold
penny, coined in the reign of Henry III.
II lis supposed to be the only one in exist
ence, and is closely watched. When the
inumismatist who owns it dies, or goes
broke buying such curios, and has to sell
his collection or starve to death, the other
numismatiSts will lie in wait at the auc-
ton to outbid each other, says an ex-
change
The history of this particular golden
penny is unknown further back than the
time of the late DIR. Murchison of Eng
land, who had fine collection of rare
coins. Probably it lay in the cabinet of
some old family for generations, until an
irreverent spendthrift scion turned it loose
for what it would bring. Capt. Murchi-
: son recognized the value of the coin from
the collectors standpoint, and when it
was put up at auction he got it for e130
about $3.50.
This fixed its value, as Capt. Muchison
was recognized as an authority. Every
time it has been sold since it has brought
more. AT Capt. Murchisons death his
collection was sold at auction, and the
Rev. E. j. Shepard bid in the penny for
f140-about 500.
Its next owner was Mr.. Montague, vice
president of the London Numismatic So
ciety. He gave e205, or something over
81 900 for it. Last month Mr.. Montague's
collection went under the hammer, and
when he held up the rare CON and said:
'How much am 1 offered for this pennys''
the bidding started at more than the last
owner gave for it. 1t was bid up rapidly
until it reached $3.50, at which figure it
was knocked down.-Chicago Tribune
