VA. THURSDAY, JULY %, 1897.
TazewelI College.

We have received the catalogue of Taze-
College for session of 1867, and contain
ing announcements for session of 1878.
1t makes most favorable showing for the
institution for the last year, as there was
an enrolment of 161 pupils, land five states
were represented.
The plan of government is excellent, the
course of instructions complete, and the
necessary expenses SO reasonable that the
educational advantages of the College can
be secured by many boys and girls who
are unable to attend other schools where
the expenses place them beyond their
reach.
Standing as "frm friend to the prin-
ciples of higher education and truth" and
proving by lis work in the past that it is
most valuable institution, Tazewell College
should receive the cordial support of the
people Of Tazewell.

SOVEREIGN DISCOURAGED
Oyer the Strike Situation in the Flat
Top Field.
HAS GONE TO COLUMBUS.
Mines Will Probably Have Their Full
Quota of Men Today-6o0 Cars
Shipped Yesterday.

There was coal mined at every mine IN
the field yesterday. A few men at Buck
eye, Turkey Gap, Powhatan, Ellhorn and
Shamokin did not go to work, but some
men worked at every operation in the field:
and it is extremely probable that all the
mines will have their full quota of men at
work today
The eastern and western coal shipments
from this field yesterday aggregated six
hundred cars.
Agitators are busy, but have received
very little encouragement.
General Master Workman Sovereign OF
the knights of Labor held meeting Sun
dav at Simmons Creek and there were but
few of his auditors who were in sympa-
thy with the movement. Yesterday Messrs.
Sovereign, Evans and three lesser lights
spoke at Trestle No. 8, near Maybeury, to
about $50 or 400 men.
Last night Sovereign and Webber were
billed to speak at Eckman, but Sovereign
went to Pocahontas, where he hired the
Opera House and attempted TO make a
speech, when the lights were turned out.
He then went to vacant lot and started
to speak when an order from the mayor
was served on him forbidding him to speak.
He stopped and it Is rumored he left for
Columbus on the O'Clock train.
At Pocahontas Sunday night an agitator
was struck on the head and severely hurt
while making speech from the depot
platform. Four other agitators were run
away from Pocahontas by the miners.
The Southwest Virginia Improvement
Company and the Norfolk and Western
Railway Company have posted notices
warning tresspasscrs to stay OF of their
property.
The burden of the agitators' song is that
men here should strike in order to help
along their striking brethren in the other

A THREAT TO THE TURK.
The Gar May Send Troops Into
TheSsaIy.

BERLIN, July 20.-The powers have at
last put the screws on the sultan, for, ac-
cording to dispatch received today, the
Gar Nicholas has telegraphed the sultan
demanding that he at once withdraw his
troops from Thessaly.
Unless this be done at once the car de-
clares that he will send Russian troops into
Thessaly and drive the Turks out. This
would lead to fighting and might afford the
car an opportunity to control Constantl'
nople, but it is said here semi officially to-
day that all the powers except Great Brit
ain have consented to this course.
CoNsrANTINopLE, July 20.-The Ambas-
sadors have informed the porte that they
wish written declaration as to the inten-
tions of the Turkish government, which
have hitherto been communicated orally
by Tewfik Pasha.
The ambassadors have stated that if this
is not forthcoming they will suspend the
peace negotiations and refer the whole
matter to the respective governments, with
view of adopting coerciye measures.
The terms Of the Turkish government, ,as
submitted to the ambassadors by Tewhk
Pasha on Saturday, not only proposed a
change of frontier, but fixed the amount OF
indemnity at four and one-half million
pounds Turkish, and renewed the demand
for abolition of the capitulation granted the
Greek subjects in the Ottoman empire.
This is regarded as clear proof that the
ambassadors of the powers will be unable
to effect anything by mere diplomatic ne
gotiations.

Head, two young white boys about sixteen
years old, were tried upon a charge of
making felonious assault upon one Will
Laughter, at Pocahontas. The jury found
them guilty and fixed tier punishment at
confinement in the county Jail for forty-fve
days, and each to pay fine of SIS.
The court then discharged the jury for

disposed Of.
Thele are several civil cases fixed for

be heard.

THE COLD FEVER RACES.
Great Excitement on the Pacific Coast
Over the Great Find.
O,O0O TAKEN OUT In 8 MONTHS.
People Who Are Able Are Making a Wild
Rush for the New EIdOrado of the
North.

PoRT TOWNSEND, WASH, July l8.-At
o'clock Saturday morning, the steamship
from st. Mchaei's for Seattle passed upthe
sound with more than ton of solid gold
OF board and sxty-eight passengers. In
the captains cabin are three chests and
large safe filed with the precious nuggets.
The metal is worth nearly 100000 and
the most of 1t was taken out of the ground
in less than three months OF last winter;
and in size the nuggets range from the size
of a pea to that of guinea egg. Of the
sixty-eight miners aboard hardly a man
has less than $1,000 and one or two have
more than 500, 600 in yellow nuggets.
The stories that they tell seems to be
incredible and far beyond belief. Instances
are noted where single individuals have
taken out, in two and half months, gold
to the value of over $3.50, 0,00O
Although most Of the passengers
are returning home with
plenty of gold, they all advise
and urge people who contemplate going to
the Yukon not to think OF taking less than
one ton of grub and plenty Of clothing
While it is poor mans country, yet the
hardships and privations to be encountered
by inexperienced persons unused to from
tier life is certain to result in much suffer
ing. They should go prepared with at
least years supplies.

STOCK DAY.
The Parade Last Monday Wasn't What
1t Use to BE.

The Parade Last Monday Wasn't What
1t Use to BE.
Time was when the first Monday
in April was great day in Column
bia; when horses and Jacks of the
finest breeding were brought to town
from all parts of Maury and adjoin-
ing counties and paraded on our
streets; when prancing stations,
with flowing names and tails and
sleek bodies, made the heart of the
lover of fine stock to leap with Joy.
But that time is in the historic past.
The stock parade last Monday
failed to materialize. A few horse
men got their animals in line and
marched around the square, but it
was all over before anybody knew
anything about it. Perhaps the
threatening weather early in the
morning kept the crowd away, but,
before o'clock, the clouds had all
cleared away and the remainder of
the day was an ideal stock-shOw
day.
The procession around the square
was composed of only just a few
horses and jacks, and still fewer
really fine ones. 1t was quiet
affair, and was about over when the
HERALD reporter arrived on the
scene, and we can only give partial
list thereof. To-wit:
