fortunate miner through with il to the
floor below, where he was buried in the
debris.
Many willing hands ran to his assist

Special Dispatch to the Intelligencer.
SIsTERsVILLE. Nov. "a telegram
was received in this city this morning
to the effect that DR.. W. H, Gillespie.
who has been in New York for a short
time undergoing an operation in one Of
the hospitals there. had died last even
ing at 7 o'clock. The news OF the death
of DR.. Gillespie was quite shock to
the large number of people in this city
who are acquainted with him, as It has
been but short time since he was at
tending to his regular duties here, and
for awhile this morning there was a
disposition to think that some mistake
had been made in the telegram, but the
news has since been confirmed,
Dr. Gillespie has been familiar fig-
ure in this city for q number OF years
and has been prominently Identified
with the city and county in a number OF
ways. He was an uncompromlsing Re-
publican and worked hard for the party
he espoused at all times. He was born
in Fredericksburg, Va, on the Kappa
hammock, October s, 1870 He received
part OF hiseducation at the Harrison
burg Male Academy, Rockingham coun-
ty, Va, and in January, 1852, graduated
at the head of his class In mathematics
and engineering at the Virginia Mill
tary Institute, under Stonewall jack
son and other professors OF the V. NJ. ].
At first acting as cadet drill master,
he was offered in a letter from Gen.
Stonewall jackson position as lieu
tenant Of engineers on his stan, but
about that time his father, DR.. James
L. Gillespie, residing near Luray, Page
county, Va, was arrested by the con-
federates on the charge OF being q
Union man. His father escaped and
Joined the Union army as assistant sur
geon, First regiment West Virginia I'm
fantry, and DR.. w. H. Gillespie, being
the only son, followed suit, escaping
from the confederacy, and served as
first lieutenant Eighth West Virginia
infantry, and afterwards as adJutant
Fourteenth West Virginia infantry.
His father, DR.. James L. Gillespie, was
appointed, late in the war, surgeon OF
the Seventh regiment, Hancock's vet
eran corps, and served In 1855 under
Mai Gen. Carroll as surgeon-in-chief OF
the Third brigade OF that division.
After the war father and son settled
in sistersvllle, and they have been
prominently Identified with the city and
county in many ways since then. DR..
Gillespie made quite q nice fortune
since the oil excitement struck Tyler
county and during the past few years
he has done nothing, The remains VIII
be shipped here from New York at
once and the funeral will probably take
plate the latter part Of the week.

WASHINGTON. NOV, a.-Generai Fcs-
ter and Sir julian Paunnefote Conferred
to-day as to the arrangements for the
meeting Of the British, Canadian and
American representatives relative to
Bering Sea. A general understanding
was reached that the arrival to-day OF
Sir Wllfred Laurier, the Canadian pre-
mler and party, would permit the meet
ing to open on Thursday, as tomorrow II
likely to be given to an exchange OF
views between the Canadians and Brit
ish.
The British ambassador viii accom-
pany the premier 10 the white house to-
morrow morning and introduce him to
the President. This Will be d call OF
courtesy, however, and II is ICt expect
ed that any OF the pending questions viii
be referred TO. The British embassy has
extended an invitation to Sir Wiffred TO
be guest during his stay here, but no
has determined 10 remain with the other
Canadian representatives at the Shore
ham. where quarters have been engaged.
1t Is now definitely settled that the
coming meeting win take q much broad
or scope than was anticipated. At the
outset there will be II comparison OF
notes between the seal experts, Mr..
Hamlin for the United States; Professor
Thompson for Great Britain and Profess
sor Macoun for Canada The Canadian
premier and Sir Louis Davies, Sir Julian
PauRcetote and General Foster will be
present In an unofficial capacity ready to
take up the larger phases Of the question
when the seal experts have concluded
their excange OF technical Information.
II is said that the relations existing be,
tween Great Britain and Canada make It
essential that all questions OF an imper-
ial character should be concluded by the
direct representatives Of the imperial
government AT the same time the pres
ence Of the Canadian premier IS expect
ed to assist In reaching speedy conclu-
sions without the usual delays OF acting
through the British foreign Office. The
formal execution OF these conclusions
would devolve entirely on the imperial
authorities In London and their represen-
tative here. the Brlsti5h ambassador,
1t Is said at the state department to-
day that the first object would be to
reach settlement on the Berlng sea
question and with that out OF the way
there would be every disposition to fay
orable conference on border immigra-
tlon, Canadfan-American interests IN
the Klondike, reciprocity. and the other
questions which Sir Wlifred and his as
sociates regard as paramount 10 the Ber-
ing sea issue.
