Applying the Maidstone.

The famous maidstone, which has
been in the Fred family for 1876 years
and which,. tradition says, has never
failed, when applied to wound made
by rabid dog, to effect cure-not
a single person having ever developed
hydrophobia after the stone had once
adhered to the wound, is now located
in this town, being deposited in the
vaults of the Loudoun National Bank.
1t was put there by VIM. F. Lynn for
safe keeping, he having come into pos
session Of it as administrator Of Mrs.
Fred who died some time ago and will
continue in possession of it until there
is final settlement of the estate.
The fact that the stone was here
having become known two patients
were brought to it on Monday last.
The first who came was little boy
between and 6 years of age named
Willie Dudley He was accompanied
by his father, Mr.. F. B. Dudley, OF
Rappabannock county, and his uncle
Judge II. NJ. Dudley, of the same
county. The little boy was sitting
on his fathers porch on Friday after
noon at Little Washington, when a
dog, believed to be suffering with
rabies, ran up on the porch and at
tackled the little fellow. He left three
wounds from his teeth, one on the
right side of the head near the tenn
pie, one Just in the hair and one on
the ear. Mr.. Dudley decided to bring
the little boy to the famous maidstone,
which he did Monday morning. He
came by Bloomfield and J. c. Geiman
and Miss Geiman, of that place, who
are connected with the Fred family
and have had charge of the stone and
have applied it many times, came to
Leesburg to apply it this time.
The party stopped at the Linden
Hotel, and about eight o'clock Mon
day morning the stone was applied to
the main wound near the boys tenn
pie. For little while it was slow to
stick but presently it adhered fast and
there it remained immovable, although
the child moved freely about the beds
for tweuty-one hours, and then it
dropped off without being touched
and while the child was quietly sleep
ing. The stone was then immersed
as is always done, in warm water and
left for fifteen or twenty minutes
The water when it was removed was
covered with a scum Of greenlsh yell
low color The stone was carefully
washed and dried, an effort was made
70 apply it to the other wounds, but
it refused to adhere Later in the
day the party left for Rappahannock
and we hope the bright little boy will
never be troubled any more with that
dog bite.
The other patient was Mrs. J. H.
Zirkle, of Luray, who on Sunday was
bitten through the wrist by, it is be-
ieved, the same dog. She is rather
an elderly lady and came to Leesburg
with her husband to try tue virtues
of the stone 1t was applied on Tues
day morning, but would not adhere,
which is taken to be an indication
that there was no poison in the wound.

The most awkward man in the
world without doubt lives in Tennes-

explaining the accident to the dogs
owner shot him. Later, in showing
how the tragedy occurred he shot the
Coroner. He has been liberated now
for fear he will try to explain it to
somebody else.

PROTECTING HOME INDUSTRY. Manufacturers and Producers Asso- citation Will Co-Operate With
 the Building Trades Council

At the meeting of the Building Trades Council last night communication was received from President Kerr of the Manufacturers and Producers Associa- ton in which he stated that his associa- tion would cooperate with them in every way possible for the protection of home industry.
 The ron-molders Union No. 2S6 sent a communication drawing the attention of the council to Eastern-made bathtubs which are built in Wisconsin by scab la Dor and shipped to this city, where they are sold at a reduced price These tubs have been boycotted by the Plumbers National Council.
 It was stated that Eastern prepared marble was about to be used in the con- struction of the Affiliated Colleges. After discussion it was decided to send a com- munication to Dr. Beverly Cole, the dean of the college, drawing his attention to the State law, which prohibits any but California material in any State build ing, and at the same time adding that they would hold him responsible for any dereliction in this direction.
 Charges were made that non-u union men were employed at the Chutes at reduced wages and made to work ten hours a day. A committee was appointed to wait on the manager of that place and if the charges are true to ask him to recognize the principles of the labor organization

CANADA LOOKS
 TO HER FORTS
Activity of Military Authorities That Causes Some
 Surprise.

Copyrighted, 1898. by James Gordon Bennett.
 TORONTO. Ont, March 3-With more than ordinary speed the Canadian de- fensive authorities have been quietly strengthening the military forces and in creasing the artillery along the frontier. The greatest increase has taken place in this city and east and west as far as Quebec and Ontario extend, the Pacific and Atlantic seaboards being left mainly to the care of the imperial Government. Recently six of the very latest pattern field battery guns have been added to the Toronto garrison and the magazine which has heretofore been at "Old Fort, on the lake shore, is to be moved to new armor- ies, for the reason that Old Fort could be easily surprised from the lake and the magazines endangered.
 Under the guidance of an expert officer a complete system of underground maga- zines Is being constructed and to-day a large additional supply of the best am intuition and explosives arrived. Ac- commodationS at the armorieS Is to be provided for a greatly increased number of militia including men for extra bat teries or artillery and for cavalry. All this in addition to the permanent staff.
 In response to request from the Brit ish Government all able-bodied members of the various regiments have been re- Cuested to enroll themselves in the re- serve force, and more than o00 have re- sponded during the past few days. They are to be supplied with the most modern weapons. like militia. and will be required to attend drill at least twice each month.
 The Government, in explanation of this activity and increased armament, stated to-day that these steps were necessary in case of civil r1nult and other causes. There is absolutely no fear of any civil reason for the great increase of military forces and appliances. Britain evidently desires Canada to be able to do some thing in her defense.

 at Lattin1er.
One Witness Declares That After the Fatal Affray the Chief Officer
 Had a Bruised Check.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WILKESBARRE Pa, March 3.-The trial of Sheriff Martin and his deputies at Lattimer, Pa, progressed slowly to- day. Deputy Hess cross examination was continued He said that he was sure that he did not fire a shot; he had heard no command given to fire. AL though the life of the Sheriff was in great peril, the witness claimed he did not order his company to fire upon the strikers, as he was afraid that the Sheriff might possibly be shot instead, he being in the midst of the bunch of strikers.
 John A. Salmon of Harrisburg testi- fled to being for four days a deputy Sheriff. He said the day was so warm that he was overcome by the heat and was leaning against the fence back of the deputies when the shooting oc- cured.
 Attorney George A. Cox of Philadel- phia, representing the Austrian Gov ernment, made his first appearance since the trial commenced. MT. Cox stated that his visit was purely an un- official one, as he had had a represen- tative here all the time and was kept well informed.
 T fired one shot, said Charles J. Haens, this afternoon. He was the first Of the deputies 10 aOrnlt that ne had shot. He told how he had seen at West Hazleton Deputy Platt level his gun at a striker who was picking up a stone. He told the story of the shooting at Lattimer. On cross-exam- ination he said he did not aim at any point of the mems bodies.
 Sheriff Martin was recalled and asked if he observed any weapons on the strikers at West HaZleton. He an- swered that he saw three men with re- volvers in their hip pockets. On cross examination he said he did not con- verse with any of them, nor did he ar rest them. Asked if any of the men in line at Lattimer had not been sworn in as deputies, he said: Well, there were not many who had not been sworn in" He could not tell how many.
 T. M. Conifee, tipstaff, said that on the night of the shooting he met Sher- if Martin in the courthouse about 8 o'clock. The Sheriff had a bruise on his cheek and a scratch on his neck. This was the last witness for the de- fense, and when he left the stand At torney Lenahan announced the closing.
 District Attorney Martin. said he had six or eight witnesses in rebuttal whom he would have in court in the morning. Court then adjourned.

DISINHERITS THE
 WIDOW AND SON
Peculiar Provisions Made in the Will of the Late Igna-
 titus COlVin.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

Special Dispatch to The Call.
 TACOMA, Wash, March 3.-The last will and testament of Ignatius Colvin the Thurston County pioneer, who died last week in a San Francisco hospital while submitting to a surgical operation for cancer of the face. has been sub- mitted for probate. In some respects the will is a remarkable document. Col win bequeaths to his widow and one son, Ben Colvin, $1 each To the daughters are given life estates in good farms, and to the second son, Fred Colvin, is be- queathed a life interest in 300 acres of the home farm. It is a condition of the will that these bequeStS are to be en- ioyed by the favored heirs only so long as they have absolutely no business re- lationS with the widow, her children by a former husband, or the son who is cut off with a dollar. To make sure that the conditions shall be observed, pro Frank Ruth of Rainier and John Calvin of Centraua to manage such forfeited es- tate In case, however of non-compli- ance with the will, the heirs of the lega- tees are to have full and unconditional title to the property.
 The will was made two years ago at the time of family difficulties in the Colvin household. Mrs. Colvin at that time made application for a divorce, but this was denied her. In the family di- vision Ben Colvin upheld his mother as against his father. Since that time a reconciliation has been effected and Ben again enjoyed his fathers full confi- dence.
