GEN. GARCIA DEAD.
He Succumbs to Pneumonia in Wash.
ington.

Washington, D. c., December IL
General Calixto Garcia, the distinguished
Cuban soldier and leader, and the head of
the commission elected by the Cuban As
sembly to visit this country, died here
this morning shortly after ten o'clock, ct
the Hotel Raleigh, where the commission
had its headquarters. The sudden change
from the warm climate of Cuba, with the
hardships he had there endured, to the
wintry weather of New York and Wash
ington, caused pneumonia, which resulted
in his death. He contracted a slight cold
in New York, which did not assume an
alarming stage until the early part of last
week. On Tuesday night General Garcia,
in company with the other members of
the commission, attended a dinner given
in his honor by General Miles, and it was
the exposure that night which led to his
illness.
During the twelve hours or more pre-
ceding his death, General Garcia was un-
conscious most of the time. AT intervals
he recognized one or more Of those about
him. In his dying moments, as all
through his busy and active life, his
thoughts were for his beloved country and
its people, and among his last words were
irrational mutterings, in which he gave
orders to his son, who is on his staff, for
the battle which he supposed was to occur
tomorrow, and in-which he understood
there were only four hundred Spaniards to
combat.

Weather Reports.

Mr.. w. G. Young, our postmaster, has
received the following, dated December,
5th, 1895, from the Chief Of Weather
Bureau, at Washington:
"Sir: l have the honor to invite your
attention to the fact that the name of your
post Office is listed to receive the, 'Emer-
gency Warnings" of the Weather Bureau
by telegraph at government expense.
These warnings are issued when the con-
ditions are favorable for tropical hurri-
canes, or storms and cold waves of unus'
ual severity, and are sent to postmasters
as a rule, they being generally in the best
position to give publicity to weather IN
formation.
Very Respectfully,
WILLIS L. MOORE,
Chief of Weather Bureau

A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
At a West Virginia School Exhibition

Charleston, w. Va, December 12.-At
a school exhibition near Poca, this coun'
ty, last night, occurred terrible tragedy,
resulting in death of one and fatal wound
ing of five or six others. A crowd of
young men attempted to disturb the
school exhibition and break up the per-
formance, when the teacher named Fisher,
objected and tried to eject them. They
turned on him, and several of the au-
dience coming to his assistance, fight en-
sued between the two factions, who have
had long standing feud. Henry Flasher
was shot in the heart and died instantly
Henry Carney, shot in the back, and is
dying, Ralph Jones and two others whose
names were not obtainable were fatally
shot. George Gibson was shot in the
hands. Haz Hardin had his skull crushed
and several others received wounds.
This has broken out the old Poca feud
and the end is feared. No arrests have
yet been made.

Late Literary News,

"What do fear?" is question worth

open their minds frankly. A great many

COVE CREEK DOTS.
Hark the wedding bells are ringing!

Hark the wedding bells are ringing!
Our young friend Mr.. T. S. Neel has
forsaken his old way of living and has
taken Miss Caroline, daughter of Mr.. S.
w. Neel, to make life's uneven pathway
more beautiful. The wedding was bril-
liant affair. All the folks around Cove
Creek flred most sumptuously. More
turkey, more ham, more cake never saw
in all the land. Mr.. "Wat" appeared to
be very 10th to part with the crowd. He
seemed anxious to have them stay with
him, and would say: "boys just stay,
don't go, we will be so lonesome" From
the bountiful supply on the table he could
have kept them quite while.
Mr.. NJ. F. Neel and DR.. Bishop went to
Tazewe!l this week.
John and Geo. Shaver have been to

Messrs. Ira and Robert Gillian have
purchased one-half interest in NJ. F.

Circuit Court

is still in session, but will adjourn for the
term tomorrow, without something unex,
pected occurs. While no jury cases have
been tried, it has been one of the most
successful and useful terms that has been
held here for some time. The court has
been principally occupied with the chance,
ry docket, and many litigated cases have
been finally settled and important DEGREES
entered in number of others. Under
our present circuit court system it is
thought by many that the work is delayed
and obstructed by the court having to con.
slider the law and chancery docket at the
same time.

Paris, Dec. 1G.-The treaty of peace
was signed at S:45 this evening.
The signing would have afforded sub
ject for great historical painting. The
group gathered about the table in the
stately chamber of the Foreign Office, was
impressive in itself, while the fact that
the sense of the momentousness Of the
issues which the act decided was deeply
felt by all the participants, gave an i'm
pressive and solemn tone to the scene.
Around the great mahogany table sat the
ten erbitrators of the destinies Of an old
and young nation. Arranged behind
them were numerous attaches of the
American commission.

A BRILLIANT SCENE.

The jets from the crystal chandeliers
above the heads of those present magni-
fed the brilliant green and scarlet Of the
upholstering into gaudiness. There was
q theatrical contrast between the black
clothed actors and the scenery. To the
americans it was a happy ending of the
dPilogus of war; for the Spaniards it was
plainly a bitter tragedy, none the less
painful because long foreseen. They sat
silently as though almost crushed, and
none could withhold sympathy from Senor
Montero Rios, the president of the Span
ish Commission, who coming from his bed,
was bundled in q great overcoat, although
logs were burning in the fireplace near by.
The spirits Of the two bodies were SYM
bolized by the clothes worn by the MEN,
bers of the commissions, for the Ameri-
cans were attired in evening dress for the
dinner given them Immediately after Nhe
meeting by the Due de Loubat, and the
Spaniards wore black frock coats.

COMPLIMENT TO FRANCE.

When the seals were prepared to be
affixed, attendants were sent scurrying
for ribbons of the French tri.color with
which the documents were sealed as a
compliment to the French hosts of the
commissions.
Many officials interestedly watched
every detail of the proceedings. The last
seal being impressed, the commissioners
rose and without formality each member
shook the hands of all his antagonists and
exchanged assurances of sincere personal
esteem. The Spaniards afterward COM
mented acridly upon what they termed
Ehe bad taste of the Americans in muster
ing crowd of attaches to gloat over the
consummation of their downfall and tc
scramble for relics.

SIGNING DELAYED.

Although the commissions met at half
past O'Clock, expecting to finish their
work in half an hour, the engrossing OF
the treaty on parchment was found to be
30 troublesome, that it delayed the signing
of the document until $40.
Clerk Martin, of the American COM
mission, worked all day without even
stopping to eat. When he came into the
chamber at 7 80 with the document he
Ripund the commissioners waiting. The
spanish copy had arrived half hour ear
lier. Mr.. Arthur Ferguson then proceed
ed to read the English and after that the
Spanish version of the treaty. This nm
ished. two copies were passed around the
table, the commissioners signing them in
the order of their rank: William R Day,
Senator Cushman X. Davis, Senator Will

The signing was finished at AS. At
that time the door of the chamber opened
and Senor Villaurutia appeared and ex-
claimed to a group of correspondents who
were waiting in the corridor: "C'est

ish commission followed Senior Villaurutia
and passed silently through the vestibule
to their waiting carriages. The American
commission stroled out chatting compla-
