The California MuFderer'S Nerve Never
Failed Him to the End.
LAST APPEAL TO WASHINGTON.
The Condemned Murderer of Miss
Lamont in a Final Statement Pro-
tested His Innocence, But Died
Expressing Forgiveness for All.

San Quentin, Jan. 7.-Theodore Dur
rant was executed at 10 :37 this morning
in the state penitentiary. He assembled
the scafold, calmy following Father Logan,
who administered to his spiritual wants,
he having been baptized into the Catholic
faith earlier in the day. He made a brief
speech, in quiet tones, asserting his inno-
cence and forgiving those who had perse-
cuted, mentioning especially the press of
San Francisco. His last words we're: 81
am Innocent" HIS death appeared to be
painless.
After the drop Durrant did not struggle.
In fifteen minutes he was cut down. The
neck was broken by the fall.
Washington, Jan. 7.-Justice Shiras, of
the United States supreme court, today
refused the application of Attorney Board
man for writs staying the execution Of
Theodore Durrant, under sentence to be
hanged in California today, The applica-
ton was made to the justice by Mr..
Boardman at the formers residence be-
fore he went to the court room today and
was in the same form as the application
made yesterday to Justices Brewer and
Harlan
Justice Shiras did not go into the rea-
sons for his decision, but simply announced
that he could not entertain the applIca-
ton.
Mr.. Boardman did not see other men,
bers of the court for want of time before
the convening of the court, but after his
failure before Justice Shiras, announced
his intention of making an effort in the
same direction before the full supreme
court. He will ask for writ of habeas
corpus.
San Quentin Prison, CAL, Jan. T.
The morning Of Theodore Durrant's last
day broke with cloudless sky. The pris-
oner retired at midnight and by O'Clock
was sound asleep. He rested quietly all
night, not disturbing the death watch in
any way.
At 6 ;l5 a. m. he awoke, and bidding
the guards good morning, dressed himself
in neat suit of black, provided for the
execution. No collar and necktie were
provided, as they would have to be re-
moved when the moose was placed around
his neck. Durrant noticed the omission
and at his request Capt. Edgar ordered
the missing articles of attire sent up to
him. Durrant also remarked that the
socks sent him were a little light in color
and the obliging captain procured pair
of darker shade.
"You never saw cooler man." said
Capt. Edgar "He is calmer than you or
l mot the least bit nervous. There is no
danger that he will weaken. He has
nerve and is determined to die bravely."

FIRE COMPANY NEEDED.
The Fire Last Friday Morning A
Warning.
FIRE EQUIPMENTS INSUFFICIENT.
There Should Be A Volunteer Fire Com
pany and More Equipments.

The writer was not in town last Friday
morning when the colored school house
on West Main street, was burned down,
but we are informed that it was demon
strated by that fire that one of the great
needs of Tazewell is regularly organized
volunteer fire company. Some of the
young men Of the town ought to take the
matter into immediate consideration, and
the town authorities should give 1t proper
encouragement. In towns like Marion
and Wytheville there have been such fire
organizations for years and we have wit
messed the work of the companys at those
places when dangerous fires were raging;
and We can truthfully say that work Of the
volunteer fremen of those two towns will
compare favorably with that of the paid
men of cities where we have witnessed
fires. With dozen or more men regu-
larly organized and with chosen head to
direct their movements, intelligent and
efficient work can be done when a fire
breaks out. Those men could arrange for
proper signals to call them to fire and
each could be furnished with key to the
hose house, so that when the first man
gets there he can have the reel out and
started to the scene of the fire by the time
others arrive.
The council ought to provide more hose
and reels, and instead of having them
placed at one single point they should be
at two or more points. On last Friday
morning it was shown that the apparatus
for fighting fire was insufficient in quantity
and quality. Immediate steps should be
taken to remedy this condition.

EVIDENCES OF PROSPERITY.
Virginia Enterprises Under Construction
and in Contemplation.

1t is estimated that the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad needs at east 10000 new
freight cars, but owing to the opposition
of the interests represented by J. P. Nor
gan & Co. to any increase in the indebted
ness of the receivers, the actual need may
be cut in half and a compromise reached
on 5000 new cars. 1t is expected that the
receivers will apply to the United States
Circuit Court for authority to secure this
number 1t is estimated that 5000 new
box cars would cost something more than
two and one-half million dollars. The
company is now suffering from large
shortage of cars. Owing to this deficiency,
which in the last four months has become
more pronounced, the road is losing big
share in the traffic which the steady revi-
val in business is developing Strenuous
efforts are being made to shift cars around
over the system to meet the heavy de.
mands, but the cry of more cars is heard
from the roads agents in all the big cities
which it reaches-Philadelphia Record.

Hampton, Va, Jan 5.-For two months
past various rumors have been current here
regarding railroads to be built through
this section. The latest, however, is an
electric railroad to traverse Hope and
Court streets of this city, to start from the
ship-yard at Newport News and end at
Grand View, several miles below Hamp-
ton. The line will take in Hampton,
Phoebus and Newport News and if built
will be boon to this section.

SOuthren Progress.

The Chattanooga Tradesmen says
The volumne of business for 1897 WIS very
satisfactory to Southren manufacturer
and dealers, being larger than for several
years, and the Tradesman's many CORE
spondents throughout the South report
most favorable prospects for the new
year.
The iron market is firm with an in
creased demand, the contracts for finished
material being unusually large for the
season. Southern iron is moving freely
with promise of greater activity when the
spring trade opens. The export trade
continues good, with indications of a
heavy increase.
Business conditions, generally speaking,
are better than for five years; financial
distrust no longer dlsturbs and the out
look for 1898 is most encouraging for the
industrial development and business pros
perlty of our Southern country
Among the most important new indus
tries for the week. the Tradesman reports
the following: The Belton Construction
and Surety Company, Charleston, w. Va,

Booming Cotton.

New York, January 5.-The increasing
foreign demand for American grown cotton
and augmented shipments to England and
Japan recently has caused southern grow
ers to have more confidence in their staple.
1t is said today that the outlook for the
new season is especially bright.
The brokers and commission men on
the New York cotton exchange regard
the figures of increasing shipments as pos
sibly pointing to an era in cotton growing.
Prosperity is bound to accrue to all cotton
handlers, from producers to consumers.

GENERAL BOOTHS TRIP.

The greeting given the veteran lead CT of the Salvation Army at every place in the United States where he stops is a good indication that the disintegration of this band of loyal workers is not a thing of the near future. Hundreds of soldiers and off cers from surrounding. towns gather ed at Kansas City last Sunday to see and hear the general and give him by word and presence an attest of their continued loyalty.
 The sphere of the Salvation Army is limitless, but its principal mark lies in the dark shadows of the alleys, far removed from the lighted roads that lead to the rich temples of God. The enthusiasm that led men and women into it wears well. It is not pleas ant-not even now after the jeers of the rabble and the ridicule of the crowd have died away. The Saliva tion Army worked hard to win it's way with the people, and, having won the recognition demanded, there is no req son why it should not continue to perform much good work.
 General Booth, whose trip is to ex- tend from coast to coast, will find dur ing his stay in this country that his disciples are not losing in number, in- f1uence nor effect.

REAL AND FAKE" NEWS.

The disaster to the Maine has been great chance for the newspaper 'fakers," and they have improved it. The amount of news which was not news that has been imagined, tele- graphed and printed about this catas- trophe would fill volume. The fan tastic yarns that have been published as truth and the fanciful speculations which have been printed as fact, would furnish a library of fiction.
 Do the people who read newspapers enjoy such stuff? We do not believe they do. We have a greater respect for the intelligence of the American public.
 The Republican has tried to give all the facts obtainable in this case, as in all matters of real news. The public we believe, wants the facts; it does not want to be trif1ed with. The public wants the facts accurately, and ii wants them quickly, and that is the way The Republican endeavors tC serve them. That is the distinction between real news and fake news
