yesterday ana was buried here to-day.
He was fiftyeight years of age and served
in the Confederate army. His wife, for.
merly Miss Isabel C. Armstrong, of Nor
folk, Va, survives him. Mr. Myer was
native of Washington, D. c. He came
to Augusta county about three weeks ago
after having undergone severe operation
in hospital. His brother, f. f. Myer,
of Louisville. Ky, who reached here to-
day to attend the funeral. had an exciting
experience in Staunton in the early DAYS
of the war. He WIS taken off Chesa-
peake and Ohio train by provost mar
shall on charge of being spy, while the
crowd of excited Stauntonlans cried
"kili him." But his papers showed that
he was leaving Washington to Join the
Confederate army and the same mob
wanted to carry him back TO the train on
its shoulders

They Carried Bluefield's Election by n

Vote of All to 90.
Bluefield Telegraph: Che wet and dry
election yesterday was apparently unin-
teresting, but when the total vote was
learned 1T was found that considerable
interest was taken it.
The dry people started out to ignore
the contest and by refusing to vote re-.
fuse to abide by the result. The vets
made no particular fight They c:rcu-
lated circular signed by fourteen citi-
zens calling on the people to come out
and vote.
Yesterday morning circular was dis
triouted by the drys in which it was
claimed TINT the election was illegal and
was not binding, and requested all voters
to stay away from the polls. There were
439 votes cast, All wet and % dry
The total vote in the municipal election
last January was $50, since which time
the voting strength of the city has been
materially reduced by men being put
Oft in the shops and on the railroad. a
large number of men were out on the road
and did not get chance to vote. Thus
IT will be seen that the vets cast a ma
lority of all the votes in the town, basing
the calculation on the municipal election.
