One to Cover Four Acres Discussed
at Commercial Club.


The project of building a coliseum in this
city in which all large assemblages and en-
tertainments from a football game and a
circus to a music festival and horse show

acres and to cost perhaps half a million dol
lars. 1t is proposed to have a seating ca
pacity of 200C0 and leave room for third
of a mile race course. No site has as yet
been considered, although several have been
suggested. At the meeting last night a
committee was appointed to look after the
financial affairs OF the scheme, ascertain
If the plan is feasible one and arrange
for the subscription of stock in event of a
favorable report. -
The following committee was appointed to
look into the scheme from a financial stand
point and ascertain whether or not it will
be practicable TO erect the building: Ferd

REVERSED SUPREME COURT.
Appellate Bench Gives an Unusual De-
cision.

The Appellate Court yesterday rendered
a decision directly contrary TO one rendered
by the Supreme Court three years ago in
the same case. The decision was on an
appeal by the Manufacturers Gas Com
pany against Mary A. Leslie and involved
a question of amount of damages TO which
the defendant was entitled to by reason of
the company laying gas mains over her
farm. The Appellate Court transferred the
case TO the Supreme Court, which decided
in favor of the company. Becoming con-
WINGED that a mistake had been made, the
Supreme Court granted a rehearing i'm the
case and sent IL back 10 the Appellate
Court which yesterday ordered a new trial
OF the ease I'm the lower court. Among
other things the decision says:
1T is seldom that a case comes TO this
court where the record presents such a
wanton disregard of the rights of a litigant
as shown by the Jury in this case. IT the
principle commended for should prevail there
would be no protection TO the rights of those

Mrs. Price Objected to "scandaP
About Her boarding House.


Merle Walker. acting as probate commits
sioner. yesterday heard the petition of Thos.
Heston colored, to have the guardianship
which was created for his benefit about two
years ago vacated Heston is nearly seven
ty years of age. Two years ago Joseph
Price coIored janitor of the Wright block,
was appointed guardian for old man Hes
ton at the request of the latters son, who
alleged that his father was addicted to the
use of intoxicants, and, in fact, had become
an habitual drunkard. At the time 1t was
deemed advisable to appoint guardian for
Heston so that he might be prevented from
drinking himself to death, and that his
property, valued at about $500, might not be
dissipated Heston went to board with
Price and his wife.
The law provides that in cases or TINS
kind, where there has been a total absti-
nence of liquor for one year, petition may
be filed asking for the removal OF the
guardian. Heston's petition was based on
this section of the statute. However. the
guardian objected to being removed, and he
and his wife were in court yesterday morn
ing to resist the petition. They claim that
there has been little reformation in HeSton
case and asserted that he has been sent to
the workhouse in the east six months on the
charge of being drunk. Mrs. Price, wife or
Hestons guardian, and a particularly. fine
type of colored NANNY, was particularly
active against the petitioner. Look yah!
she exclaimed, addressing herself to Judge
Walker, "Tse knowed ole Tom Heston. fo' de
last twenty yeahs. l got along wild dat ole
man all right till he began to talk scandal
bout my boa din house. tells you. jedge
dat he go out in de nabohood and tells de

up / want dis court to find dat Use got as
clean a boa'rn' house as dey is in de nabo-
hood, and dat no niggah even ala put MS
foot in con plate.
The judge said that while he did not feel
that he had right under the circumstances
to give Mrs Prices boarding house char
actor, he would give the Heston matter the
most careful consideration.

In the case of Mary L. Carpenter against
the Chicago & Eastern Illinois Railroad to
recover the amount of an insurance policy
carried by her deceased husband, who was
an employe of the company, the Appellate
Court decided that the railroad company
could not be held liable for the payment
Of the policy The contention of the
plaintiff was that as the company had de-
Quoted certain amount from the wages
of the deceased in payment of premiums it
could be held responsible for the carrying
out of the contract under which the nsur-
ance premium had been paid. The company,
however. showed that it was only an agent
in the collection of the premiums and that
the insurance association for which it had
Collected the money had failed.

The last public speech made by Jeffer-
son Davis was to a meeting near his home
at Beauvior in 1888. He said;
"Mr. chairman and fellow citizens: Ah,
pardon me, the laws of the United States
no longer permit me tc designate you as
fellow citizens, but am thankful that
may address you as my friends. feel no
regret that stand before you this after
noon man without country, for my
ambition lies buried in the grave Of the
Confederacy. There has been consigned
not only my ambition, but the dogmas
upon which that government was based.
The faces | see before me are those of
young men, had not known this would
not have appeared before you. Men in
whose hands the destinies of Our Southland
lie, for love of her | break my silence, to
speak to you few words of respectful ad
monition. The past is dead; let it bury
its dead, Its hopes and its aspirations; be-
fore you lies the future-a future full Of
golden promise; future full Of recon-
pense for honorable promise; future of
expanding national glory, before which all
the world shall stand amazed. Let me
beseech you 10 lay aside rancor, all bitter
sectional feeling, and to take your places
in the ranks of those who will bring about
a consummation devoutlv to be wished
a reunited country"

THE ATTACK.

Hong Kong, August 16.-Admiral Dewey
gave General Augustin an houl in which
to surrender at the time of the last de-
mand, made on Saturday. General Au-
gustin refused to comply.
The bombardment, which began at 9:3C
a. m, was continued two hours, and then
the Americans stormed the trenches,
sweeping all before them.
Those within the walls attempted ne re-
sistance. The First Colorado Volunteers
stormed the outer trenches and drove the
Spaniards into the second line of defences.
Then the American troops swept on,
driving all the Spaniards into the innel
Notifications, where the Spanish com
mander, seeing that further resistance was
useless, hoisted the white flag and surren'
dered
The losses, American and Spanish, are
not yet known.
The Spaniards in the trenches probably
numbered three thousand men. The
American attacking force numbered ten
thousand, and the Americans were better
armed, better trained, and in better con-
dition.
The foreign fleets watched the bonn
bardment with acute interest. The Amer
Jean warships engaged were the Olympia,
Petrel, Raleigh, McCulloch, Boston, Mon
terey, Charleston and Baltimore.

Gen. Wheeler Defends Shafter

Nashville, Tenn, August 12.-Postmas-
ter \. Willis received letter from General
Joe Wheeler today, dated Santiago de
Cuba, July 81, 1898, in which Gen. Wheeler
says, referring to newspaper reports con-
cernng General Shaftel:
81 think the criticisms upon General
Shafter were very unjust, He has had a
hard task, and has performed it success
fully and we'll He is a man of more than
ordinary brain power and administrative
ability. The criticism that he did not place
himself on the firing line is ridiculous, as
on July lst he was carrying on two fights
at the same time-one at Caney and one
at San Juan; he had some reserves, and
had to place himself where he could see
both fights and manage the whole affair,
which he did efficiently. With very high
regards. Truly, your friend,
JOSEPH WHEELER.
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1898-08-18

that the Democrats had taken the Repub-
licans by the scruff of the neck and dragged
them into the war, and then tried to OBJ,
struct the administration in its policy for
conducting it, which policy has received
the cordial approval of every patriotic
American citizen, regardless Of political
utilization.
Gen. Walker then paid his respects to
the Pulaski platform on which Judge
Rhea is running for Congress. Its ridicu-
lous assaults upon the Dingley bill, its
declaration for the old chestnut-the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio
of 16 to l, its declaration in favor of an
unconstitutional income tax law were
briefly but forcibly handled.
Gen. Walker paid many high tributes to
President Mckinley, and every allusion to
our aole and patriotic president was greeted
with the most generous applause. When
he spoke of our brave sailors and soldiers
and of the splendid victories at Manila and
Santiago the audience showed its appreci-
alton by cheering and shouting.
The General closed his speech with the
following remarks: 'If you want fifty
cent dollars, wildcat money, ten cent
wool. forty cent wheat, FIVE dollar calves,
free raw material and protected manufac-
turers, if you want to embarrass the ad-
ministration of President Mckinley, vote
for the nominee of the Democratic party.
"If you want sound money, protection
for the raw materials of the South, high
prices for your farm products, twenty-five
cent wool, twenty dollar calves, dollar
wheat, four and three-Quarter cents for
your cattle, high prices for lumber, pro-
tectcn for coal and iron, market for
your coal lands. if you want to sustain the
President, our army and navy, vote for
the nominee of the Republican party"

DEWEY
INSTRUCTIONS TO LAWTOR.
insurgents Must Recognize Authority
Of The United States.

Washington, August 16.-The War De-
partment late this afternoon posted the
following reply to an inquiry from Major
General Lawton, commanding the Depart
ment of Santiago, for instruction as to the
policy to be observed toward the Cubans
that are within his military department.
Commanding General, Department of
Santiago, Santiago de Cuba; Replying
10 your message for instructions, the Pres
ldent directs that you be informed that
the United States is responsible for peace
and must maintain order in the territory
surrendered and in your department, and
must protect all persons and their property
within said jurisdiction. Interference
from any quarter will not be permitted.
The Cuban insurgents should be treated
justly and literally, but they, with all
others, must recognize the military occu-
patton and authority of the United States
and the cessation of hostiliiies proclaimed
by this government. You should see the
insurgent leaders and so advise them.
BY order of the Secretary of War.

THE PEACE COMMISSION.

The President today rendered to Sena
tor Allison, of Iowa, ali appointment as a
member of the Peace Commission. Sen
ator Allison, in acknowledging the honor
offered, explained that the interests of his
State in the Senate and his desire to con-
tinue his former vigorous participations in
the shaping of legislation in that body,
and other duties, would preclude his tax
ing up the arduous duties at Paris that
would demand so much time and serious
work
1t is understood that the President has
rendered to Senator German, of Mary
land, place on the Peace Commission,
and that ne has declined the offer. The
President now, it is stated, is looking for
another Democratic Senator to take the
place of Senator German.
