At midnight Saturday the residents
of Henry, station on the Roanoke
and Southern Railroad, in Franklin
county, Va, were alarmed by the
bright light from burning clubhouse
on the farm of J. L. King, and upon
close examination the remains Of two
men were discovered in the burning
embers. The charred bodies were
recognized as the remains of j. J and
C. H. D. Walker, farmers who lived
about three miles from the village. 1t
is thought they were intoxicated and
intended to spend the remainder of
the night in this house which was filled
with fodder. They had lantern with
them which must have been upset as
they slept and set fire to the building.
J. J. Walker leaves a wife and two or
three little children. The other was
unmarried.

CORBETT WILL FIGHT.
he Is Anxious to Meet Bob Fitzsimmons
for The $4,000 Purse Out in
San Francisco.

New York, Dec. 11.-James ]. Corbett,
who is in this city, was asked today If
he had seen Dan Stuart who, a short
time ago. offered $4,000 for q finish
fight between the ex-chamion and Fitz-
simmons.
II have not heard from Dan Stuart
as yet he said, but l suppose he will
see me before twenty-four hours have
passed"
What do you think of Stuarts offer
Of a $4,000 purse for a fight between
Fitzsimmons and you?"
We'll. you see." reHied Corbett. 1--WE
have received an offer of a $4,000 purse
to box fifteen rounds in San Francis
co either in a month or two and have
accepted it. l don't see why Fitzsim-
mons don't"
I'VE are sure of the money out there
and besides, we can fight inside of four
or six weeks. If we accept Stuart's )f-
fer, then we will have to go down south,
and might possibly be chased all
around the country for several weeks
and not fight after all.
III FitzsimmOns Will only accept
that offer of $4,000 in San Francisco,
will agree to stop him in fifteen rounds.
and If should fail will turn over the
entire purse to him."
But suppose he won't fight for linn
tied number of rounds?"
Then 1 will have to fight him to a
finish" replied COrbett, but / think
the San Francisco offer is an excellent
one and if FitZsimmOns will only ac-
cept | will pack up my trunk imme-
dately and start west. l shall consider
Stuart's offer and will give him de-
cided answer in few days"

RED CROSS FOR CUBA.
An Appeal is Made by the Junta for
Volunteered

Philadelphia, Dec. 11.-A special meet
ing of the Pennsylvania Red Cross as
sociation was held this afternoon at
which DR.. John Guiteras. representing
the Cuban Junta. and e. Frank Carson,
of this city, sought to enlist the SER
vices of the Red Cross society in behalf
of the sick and wounded soldiers of the
opposing armies in Cuba.
DR.. ]. Wilk O'Neil, secretary of the
meeting, suggested that the appeal for
aid was out of place, as the .Pennsyl-
vania association did not have a right
to extend operations beyond the borders
of the state, and that any help desired
for Cuba would come under the direc-
tion of the International society.
However all the members present as
sured DR.. Guiteras and Mr.. Carson of
their willingness to cooperate in secur-
ing as prompt action as possible, and
as a result Of the meeting some more
definite action will no doubt be taken
shortly. Some one asked II Spain
might not object to the Red Cross So

effect that a regiment of 1,5O0 men to fight
in Cuba was being raised in the cities of
Baltimore. New York, Boston. Washing
ton and Philadelphia. and that another
regiment has already been raised in the
states of Virginia and Tennessee. Phila-
delphia's quota toward the regiment is
given at 800 men, and it Is said that about
thirty-five men have already been enlisted
here. The men are to receiv s2j month

reputation. Captain William II. Hanlcy

AN EYE on THE VAMOOSE,
The New York Journals Craft will
BE Closely Watched.

Washington, Dec. 11.-Vigilance on
the part of the authorities of the gov
ernment against any violation of m
ternational law of United States sta
tutes received another illustration to-
day when Secretary Carlisle ordered
the collector of customs at Whining
ton, N. c., to thoroughly investigate
the purposes of the yacht Vamoose
(the fast news flyer of the New York
Jou>naD in. her cruise to the Cuban
coast. The department has not con-
sidered 1t necessary to seize the yacht;
but such have been the advices of the
department of justice and the conse-
quent avowed principles of the gov
ernment on the subject of filibustering
that the treasury department Is not
willing to permit the slightest devia-
tiOn from what it considers a direct
course to pursue concerning vessels
plying between our harbors and the
Cuban coasts.
The peacefulness of the VamOose's
mission Chat of conveying news to
and fro for a prominent metropolitan
journaD is not questioned. The only
theory the treasury department is act
ing upon is that of taking every pre-
caution against violations of interna-
tional law and treaty obligations.
