KILLED BY AN ANARCHIST.
Spain'S Prime Minister Meets Death by
Assassination.
"LONG LIVE SPAIN" He CRIED,
And Then Perished From the Wounds In
ficted by the Assassin-The MUIR
derer Said 1t Was Vengeance.

Madrid, Aug. 9.-Senor Canovas del
Castillo, prime minister of Spain, was as
sassinated yesterday at Santa Agueda by
an anarchist.
The murderer fired three shots one Of
which struck the premier in the forehead
and another in the breast.
The wounded man fell, dying at the
feet of his wife, who was with him, linger
ing an hour in agony, and then passed
away crying "Long live Spain, ~ which were
the last words upon his lips.
Santa Agueda is noted for its baths.
1t is between San Sebastian, the summer
residence of the Spanish court, and Vito
ria, the capital of the province of Alava.
The premier went there last Thursday TO
take three weeks course of the baths,
after which he expected to return to San
Sebastian to meet United States Minister
Woodford.
The assassin was arrested soon after the
shooting. He is Neapolitan, and gives
the name OF Rinpaldi, but it is believed by
the police that this is an assumed name
and that his real name is Michele Angino
Coli.
The murderer says he killed Senor
Canovas sin accomplishment of just
vengeance" and that the deed is the out
come of vast anarchist conspiracy. He
is believed to have arrived at Santa
Agueda the same day as the PREMIER and
was frequently seen lurking in the pas
sages of the bathing establishment in
suspicious manner.
The assassin narrowly escaped lynching
at the hands of crowd that rushed for
ward. Detectives and civil guards secur-
ed him. He was pale, trembled violently
and evidently feared that he wonld be
killed on the spot. He will be arraigned
before the local magistrates at Vergara.
At the moment of assassination Senor
Canovas wss waiting in the gallery of a
bathing establishment for his wife, who
was to join him for luncheon. Suddenly
the assassin who had the appearance of an
ordinary visitor, approached and fired at
him point blank. He fell instantly and
never recovered consciousness.

Emma Warren Company.

This excellent dramatic company Is now
filing a weeks engagement at the town
hall. Before coming here it played at
Bluefed and Pocahontas, and the press
notices at both places were very fattering.
Its capability has not been exaggerated,
and it is pronounced by competent judges
the best company that has ever appeared
in our town. On Monday night it rendered
in excellent style "Michael strogoff," I"
which is dramatized from Jules Vernes
celebrated novel. The story is a thrilling
one and the actors all did their parts well,
the work OF J. s. Garside as Michael"
Percy Warren as Benjamin Franklin
Blunt" and Geo. Warren as Napoleon
Boneparte Laidlow' being exceptionally
strong. The audience was delighted.
On Tuesday night ''Too Much Married"
was presented to good audience and on
last night, ''The Mountain Pink" a
moonshine, mountain story was played.
To night the Company will play
Camille" on Friday night The Fatal
Wedding, which is" Lady Audley's Secret
"dramatized; and will close its engage
ment on Saturday night with "Ten nights
in a Bar Room"
A great many persons IN the community
have been anxions to see the temperance
drama, and we have positive assurances
from Mr.. Garside that it will be pus upon
the boards. AS we have before stated
the Company is a most meritorious one
and deserves liberal patronagefrom play
goers.

The Free Silyerites in Convention.

At this writing the free silver Democratic
convention is being held at Roanoke. We
Will not be able to give our readers az ac-
count of its proceedings until our next is
sue. 1t is a safe prediction to say that J..
Hoge Tyler will be nominated for governor
by acclamation. Who will be the nomi-
nee for acknowledgement is uncertain.
Capt Cooke, the nominee of the Popu-
lists, will be urged by few, but he is not
likely to be selected.
The death of Attorney-General r. Tay-
lor Scott will make things somewhat un-
certain as to who will be nominated for
that place. We are inclined to think that
Mr.. A. L. Montague, of Danville, will be
the man named.
The platform on national questions will
be rehash of the Chicago platform, with,
perhaps, some of the anarchism left out.

But the Marion Boys Suffer Defeat in
Two Games.

On last Thursday afternoon the Marion
baseball team arrived in town to play with
the razewell team, as scheduled for Fri
day, but the constant rain on Friday pre-
vented any playing that day. The Marion
boys consented to stay over and play on
Saturday. The first game was played in
the morning and resulted favorably to the
Tazewell nine, by score of IA to 5. The
Marion team did not seem to be in good
trim, and did the worst playing we ever
saw them do in match game. They
failed to profit by their defeat of the morn
ing and consented to play another game in
the afternoon. Up to the 9Th inning they
kept in the lead, and many were confident
they would win; but the Tazewell boys got
on tneir metal and forged to the front, the
score standing at the end of the game II to
8 in their favor. Both games were won by
the superior base running and fielding Of
the Tazewell team, and the games lost by
the Marion boys by their Deficiencies on
those lines. Both games were free from
disagreeable contentious, and the Marion
boys wen high concentrations by their
amiable andgentlemanly demeanor, if they
did prove easy victims to our boys. Marion
wants Tazewell to cross bats with her on
her own grounds, and promises to make
things lively for their visitors.
We are informed that the Tazewell boys
have concluded to furnish them an oppor-
tunity next week.
The Marion baseball club, claiming the
championship of Southwest Virginia and
East Tennessee, was defeated here by the
Tazewell club last Saturday in very in
teresting game. The playing of the Taze-
We'll boys was very swift at times, but the
visitors, with the exception of Rosenbaum
and Sprinkle seemed to have an "off day."
The features of the game were the battery
work Of Kelly and Henry for the home
team, the double play of the O'Keeffe
brothers and Harman and the batting of
Hull, Rosenbaum and Henry.
Mr.. Will Steele officiated as umpire with
exceptionally good judgment. R. E. H.

Sermon by Cardinal Gibbons Before q
Large Audience

Sermon by. Cardinal Gibbons Before n
Large Audience.
Cardinal Gibbons preached yesterday at
st. Matthew'S Church before a very large
congregation. The cardinal spoke on 1.-The
Mercy Of Cod
The distinguished clergyman urged his
hearers to follow the example Of Christ in
doing good wherever they had the opportu-
nifty. After explaining that the mission of
Christ on earth took the form Of curing the
SICK healing the wounded. making the
blind to see and giving the power of speech
to the dumb. he said the work Christ en-
geged upon has BEEN perpetuated, and in
stanced the establishment of various insti-
buttons for the sick, needy and homes for
orphan children. as well as schools, by the
Catholic Church. The consecrated sisters
who go quietly about doing good wherever
they can, the cardinal stated, we're the best
examples OF the Christian spirit.
Cardinal Gibbons spoke highly of such
women as minister to the wounded during
time of war. but the sisters, he said, diff
fefed from them because they not only GO
into similar places, but do SO unannounced,
and even hide their names from the public
He spoke feclingly Of some sisters who
quietly left the north recently and went
into the yellow fever districts, where they
lost their lives in the fulhllment of their
mission.
In the afternoon Car,dinai Gibbons. assist
ed by Fathers Lee and Bart. confirmed a
