Wednesday, October goth, is
West Virginia Day at the Tennes-
see Centennial at Nashville, and
we hope as many of our people as
possibly can will be present that
day. 1t will be a good time to visit
the Fair, as the weather will be
cool and the Exposition at its best.
The rate from Grafton Is $3.50
for the round trip, tickets good for
ten days and for sale on Tuesdays
and Thursdays only. We hope the
press of the State will give notice
Of West Virginia Day and urge our
people to visit the Exposition.

MINERS BUILD ROADS.
1000 Men Working on the Trail Out
From Skaguay.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 24.-With the ar
rival of the steamer Rosalee from Skag-
uay and Dyea comes the news that the
town organization of Skaguay, under
the leadership of A. J. Mckinney, has
taken definite action to open the trail.
On the arrival of the collier Willamette
none of the passengers were allowed to
take their baggage until the entire car
go had been placed high and dry on the
beach, then the individual holdings
were segregated. 1t was seen at once
that to get over the trail was impossi-

at which it was decided to declare the
trail closed.

crosspieces of the bridge across the
Ska quay river. Then about 700 citi-
ZenS went to work on the trail and the
following day their number was in
creased to 1000 They had about so
pounds of giant powder and a small
quantity of dynamite and expected in
four days after the sailing of the Rosa
lee to reopen the trail in a greatly i'm
proved condition.
The dangerous places where many
horses have been lost will be fixed up
with scantling, and the marshy por-

The condition of affairs at the lakes is

Lumber is in great demand, and irnpa-

rush, it is confidently anticipat ted, will
land at least 10000 people at Skaguay.

THE BEARS HUG.
Gear Nicholas Embraces M. Faure and
Sets Up the Cigars.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 24.-All day yes
terday there was scene OF great AMI
nation here and steady flow of people
towards the QuayS, where they embark
ed on prOfuSely decorated steamers TO
meet President Faure at CrOnStadt. Tna
magnificent park between the palace
and the sea was gioriously decorated
with the flags of Russia and France
Contrary to Russian custom, the peo-
pie were allowed to enter the park and
to line the route followed by President
Faure and other high persOnages.
AT 10 O'Clock in the morning, when a
MESA ge from CronStadt announced that
the French fleet was approaching, the
czar emerged from the Peterhof palace,
entered a carriage drawn by two gray
horses, and drove to the landing stage
His majesty wore the uniform of a cap
tain in the Russian navy, with the r1b-
bon of the Legion of Honor on his
breast.
The czar awaited the president at the
top of the AleXandria'S gangway ana
the moment NJ. Faure set foot on
the deck of the imperial yacht warm
embraces We're exchanged between the
czar and the president. His majesty,
when the exchange of salutations had
been ended, invited the president to the
aft deck of the Alexandria and offered
him cigars. Thereupon both lighted
cigars and engaged in cordial conversa-
ton.
When the imperial yacht was safely
moorad alongside the jetty, the French
president was the first to land and the
band of the imperial guard struck up
the "Marseillais."
Upon arriving at the Peterhof palace
the czar presented President Faure to
the various court officials, and then, re-
entering the victoria, his majesty drove
along to the Alexandria palace, the res
idence of the cZarina. A few minutes
later President Faure emerged from the
Peterhof palace accompanied by Cen
eral Bildering and drove to the Alexan-
dria palace in order to offer his homage
to the czarina.
A private luncheon at the Alexandria
palace followed.

SHOT AND CREMATED.
Mob Fires Negroes House While He
is in It.

Little Rock, Ark, Aug. PA special
to the Gazette from Baxter, Ark,
says:
Ed Williams, colored, was killed and
burned in his home, three miles north
of this place, about 8 o'clock yesterday
morning. About a month ago Williams
committed an outrage on a colored Wo-
man, and then sent word to the deputy
sheriff residing here that he would kill
him if he undertook to arrest him. Why
an effort was not made sooner to ar
rest him is not stated, but yesterday
morning the negro's house was sur
rounded by a posse led by three deputy
Sheriffs.
A demand was made that Williams
come out and surrender, but his wife
made answer that he was not at home.
She refused, however, to open the door
and let the officers search the house.
Finally, after the deputies had made 2
futile effort to break down the door, the
house was set on fire, and not until the
roof was falling in did the door open,
when the woman ran out, brushing Goals
of fire from her head as she emerged.
As soon as the door was clear Williams
was seen, Winchester in hand, and as
he raised ii to take aim at one of the
squad he was shot down. An effort
was made to get the body out of the
burning house, but it was too late. Will
liams had served two years in the peni-
tentiary, one in Mississippi for horse
stealing and one in this state for crimi-
nal assault.

GETTMAN AT THE BAT.
Jake Given a Good Send Off on His
First Appearance in Washington.

First Appearance in Washington.
Gettnaan's initial game in the National
league Friday as follows:
Gettman, the STRIPPING from out of
the far south, also made his bow as a
member of the Wagnerian band, and
the debut of this lusty youth was a
great popular triumph" as the TheS-
plan would put it. Gettman is well
made, even to sturdiness, beIuG five
feet ten and one-half inches, II i'm of
build and fast of foot. Indeed, his
speed is one of the most conspicuous
points in his makeup. His position at
the bat is natural and free, and if his
hitting yesterday be a criterion, then
Earl Wagner has a find and "phenom"
in his husky young sample. In the
first game, with Friend, the left-hander
of Uncle's twirling staff, on the rubber,
Gettman batted right-handed, though
he is naturally a left-hander at bat.
Two of the nine hits made off Friend
went to the credit of the newcomer.
along the left foul line, and the other
a double in the same territory.
Gettman, by his feat at sprinting yes
terday, proved himself ont of the fast
est men on the team and ranks abreast
of Mercer, and perhaps Tom Brown. as
a runner. He accepted four chances
in the outfie1d, and in the second game
rescued a home run drive from Bill
Lange's bat. The ball was nearing
the bleacher fence when the Texan
camped under it.
two hits out of five attempts, and start
ed the fusiIlade on Buttons Briggs in
the fourth inning by beating out well
placed bunt.

BALL PLAYER HANLoN
To Manage the Philadelphias at $1O,-
900 a Year.


Eureka Springs, Arm, Aug. 24.-Ned
Hanlon, whose success as manager of
the thrice champion Baltimore CLUB OF
the National league has brought him
world wide fame, will leave that club
at the end of the season. He will go
to Philadelphia at a salary of $lO,OOO a
year, with five year contract. one
of the most widely known baseball men
in the country who has been stopping
at this resort, is authority for this
statement.
Several causes have operated to br1ng
about this arrangement. First, Phil
adelphia is sadly in need of a sue
cessful manager, and its base ball lead
ers are impressed with Hanlon's sue
cess at Baltimore.
They consider his peculiar ability in
selecting and making major league
stars of minor league material just the
qualities needed to give Philadelphia
good club and possibly a pennant win
ner.
Then, Hanlon is dissatisfied, not to
say disgusted with his Baltimore en-
vironments. Hanlon considers that he
alone is responsible for the pennant
winning success of the Orioles. Young
Vonderhorst believes that he is, in a
large measure, the mascot of the Bal
timore base ball situation. He places
his money interest in the team as a
factor in producing results, above Han
Ions foresight in estimating on the
qualities of players engaged and poll
cies pursued.
This has made Hanlon ''sore," and

DR.. Stellwagon had the case. He said to-
day:
Il believe that certain kind of mos
quito has been bred this year with a sting
dangerous or fatal to children. I have
had four cases of mosquito bite in the
last two weeks. One, that of the Miller
child was fatal. The three other child
will recover, though one nearly lost
his leg. All three are still under treat
ment-
THE infant had symptoms of cerebro-
spinal meningitis. 1 attributed the menin-
gifts to the fact that the poison from the
insect had been absorbed by the BRAIN
The physician said he had never before
