independent Fire Company's Elegant
Tribute,

A feature of Memorial Day in Win
chester Yesterday was the placing of
floral tributes at the graves in the Rouss
lot in Mt. Hebron Cemetery, by the Win
chester fire companies and the Independ-
ent Steam Fire Company of this place.
The committee selected by the Independ-
ent Co. were Mayor George Washing
ton, Fire Marshal c. NJ. Hough, Capt.
]. C. Holmes, Chas, H. Grim, H. K.
Amber, Geo. w Haines, A d. Barr,
Capt. Geo. H. Flagg, L. K. Dinkle,
Thos. E, Chamlin and ]. H. Hooe. A
wreath, elegant bouquets and an exquis-
lite broken column, surmounted by white
dove, composed the Independent Com
panys offerings. The latter was decided
ly the finest thing in the cemetery, and
was pronounced by a young lady from
Washington City as even finer than any
thing she had ever seen in Arlington,
where repose many of the most eminent
of the Federal dead. The base and shaft
were the product of the Pennock Green
house of this place, and were composed
of fifteen hundred rich pink and white
carnations. The following beautiful trib-
ute accompanying the flowers was written
by Mr.. w. d. Briscoe of this vicinity, at
the request of the Independent Fire Co.,
and read by Capt. ]. c. Holmes:
TO THE MEMORY OF c. II. B. RoUSs.
In thy bloom of youth, the grasses
Sigh DER thy cherished grave;
And silent faith surpasses
The pain the Reaper gave.
There's something in all sorrow-
A breath of sweet perfume
That breaths of hope tomorrow,
Tho tn branch has ceased to bloom.
Then the purest gifts of nature
The bloom and scent CT spring
Wen consecrate to memories
Our lost ones ever bring.

Rouss to Ashby.
A Gdilant Confederate Soldiers Tribute to an
Immortal Confederate Leader.


Charles Broadway Rouss, of New York,
contributed one hundred dollars to the
monument to Gen. Turner Ashby, I'M
yelled yesterday on the spot where he
was killed, about mile and half south
of Harrisonburg, Va, and accompanied
his contribution with letter to the treas
urer of the Turner Ashby Memorial As
ISOLATION in which he pays the following
fitting tribute to the brave and courtley
cavalier whose memory will ever remain
green in the hearts of all liberty loving
Virginians;
Yours of 18th inst. just received, and
in reply will say heartily approve of the
object of your association. No knightlier
soldier ever drew sword in any war, an
Gent or modern, than the Southland's
Turner Ashby, and there are no honors
too great for commemorating his heroic
virtues. Had he lived in the days OF
Roman and Grecian glory, no greater
monument than his would have graced
the capital of either nation. consider ii
a privilege to aid you in your noble work,
and my contribution is one hundred dol
| lars.

The present is an age of decided pro-
gress, and the individual, town, county
or State that lass behind in the great on
ward march will assuredly be left. JEFF
ferson, we are proud to say, is in large
degree a progressive county, but even
here there are some things we might well
have, and one just now in our mind s eye
is bridge over the Shenandoah at Shan
nondale Springs. THERE'S but one bridge
over this river in Jefferson County, and
that at Harper's Ferry. One at Shan
nondale would assuredly be great pub
lie convenience, and we hope some means
will be devised, and that in the near fu-
ture, to secure the same.

We do not, as a rule, favor long politi-
cal campaigns, but it occurs to us that
perhaps in the excitement of war our
people may to too great an extent loose
sight of the fact that there are certain po-
sitions to fill-congressrnen, State sena-
tors, delegates. county commissioners,
etc.-which must concern them more or
less. In some counties many candidates
are already in the field, and county meet
ings have been held. Our Democratic
Co. Executive Committee. we presume
will soon get together and prepare a plan
for the usual nominations The people
at large should meanwhile give some
thought to the qualification of candidates.
and in casting about therefor the best
men for the various positions should be
selected. Let this be done wisely and
well, and we can then present united
front to our common political enemy all
over the State, with every assurance of a
complete victory in November.

less since the recent fire at the Halltown

engine in thorough repair, but that it

ly needs argument. The company,

MILITARY ROBBERS.
They Hold Up a Man, Take His Ma
clsete and Sell 1t.

SANTIAGO, Nov Gan insurgent
Captain and Lieutenant have been ar
rested at Guantanamo for holding Up
man on the street and taking away
his machete, which they afterward sold
for $3.50. They denied that they were
under any obligation to pay for it, and
claimed exemption from trial and i'm
prisonment on the ground of their rank
in the Cuban army.
Mr.. KemOner has been promoted 10
be Postal Agent of the military de-
partment of Santiago. John Gorst has
been appointed Postmaster of Santi-
ago City, and Hugo Heyderman FL
nancial Clerk. There are now eight
Postofices in the department-Sa
ago, Baiquiri, Guantanamo, Baracoa,
San Luis, Manzanillo, Gibara and Hol-
gum.
Many people are arriving here with
letters from Senators. One man is
virtually appointed by Secretary Alger
as Collector of Customs at Manzanillo.
He expects about three times the sal
airy of the Cuban now holding the posi-
ton. Owing to pressure of public bust
ness, General Leonard Wood, Gov
ernor of the department, has post
poned his trip to Guantanamo for
day or two, but he will probably leave
before the middle of the week.

THREE MORE BODIES.
The Cause of the Detroit Catastro-
phe Still Unknown.

DETROIT, Nov. 6.-Three more vic
TINS We're to-day dug from the ruins
of the new Wonderland building, which
collapsed yesterday afternoon. This
makes the death list 50 far eleven. The
bodies recovered to-day were identified
as Peter Pfeifie, carpenter; Frank Wolf.
timer, and Max PETIT, who was Wolf S
helper.
All the injured at the hospitals are
to-day reported on the improve except
ing Edward Fischer, who is expected to
die. A mass meeting of representative
citizens was held at noon in the Mayor
office and over 1000 was subscribed
for the relief of the families of the peo-
pie who We're killed The loss on prop
erty was estimated to-day for the first
time. 1t is believed that 100000 will
entirely cover it.
What caused the catastrophe is still
unknown and probably will be until the
Ccroner'S inquest next week. A promi-
nent local architect in an interview to-
day stated that he did not believe that
the steel work was faulty, but said that
it was not heavy enough.
All three bodies discovered to-day
were in the center of the building bur-
led under tons of debris. Frank Wolf
was found strangled to death by a
heavy steel girder which lay across his
throat. being otherwise uninjured. Both
the other bodies were frightfully man.
gled. In addition to those known TO
be dead, there are still missing Fred
Miller, Charles Mielke and o. Mullin.

REPUBLICAN ESTIMATE.
Chairman E1kins Claims Pennsy1-
vania by $4,000.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 6.-Republi-
can State Chairman Elkins has pre-
pared an estimate by counties, giving
his views of the result of next Tues
days vote for Governor. He claims
that the Republican candidate, William
A. Stone, will be elected by plurality
of 131, 900 over G. A. jerks, Democrat.
in total estimated vote of $4,000.
To Rev. DR.. Silas c. Swallow, the
Honest Government" candidate he al
lows a total of 149, 100 votes, claiming
that Swallow, who carried ten counties
in the contest for State Treasurer last
year, will not have a plurality in any.
county.
Continuing, he says: eff the great
States of New Jersey, New York and
Pennsylvania should elect Democratic
Governors this year, the result would
certainly be followed by a Democratic
President in 1900"
In an interview tonight, Democratic
State Chairman Garman said: IT es-
innate that 100000 votes will be
cast, divided about as follows:
jerks 100000, Stone 800, 000 Swallow
175, 900, which will leave jerks at least
30, OG0 plurality. / do not care to give
figures as to counties, but our whole
effort has been to have cast for jerks
as many votes as We're cast for Bryan
in 1896, which was A., 900; and my
advice indicates that We will exceed
that figure.
