Trouble on Excursion Train.

TAzEwELL, Va, Sept. 27.--on a crowded
excursion train returning from Bluetield
yesterday evening a row occurred just AS
the train left Five Oaks, which resulted in
the death OF one man.
II seems that the difficulty started by
Joe Boyle, tcolored) of Tazewell, making
very insulting remark to VIM. +. ShuAe-
barger, Of Graham, and at the same time
attempting to cut Shufliebarger's throat
with a razos. Shuiilebarger fired twice,
both shots taking effect, the first in the
chin and the second through the breast,
piercing the heart and causing instant
death. While the shooting was going on
there was a row among others OF the
passengers, in which knives, beer bottles,
bludgeons, were used, but no one was
seriously injured. To-day Justice of the
Peace Peery dismissed the warrant against
Shufilebarger, clear case Of self defense
having been established.

For Your Summer Outing.

One Ct the most delightful sections OF
the country in which to pass the hot sum-
mer days is the famous mountain region
of the Virginias, on the line Of the Cbesa-
peake and Ohio Railway. No rail line ia
the United States can offer TO the pleasure
aud health seekers so great variety OF at
fractions. Worldwide Is the reputation
Of such resorts as the Virginia Hot
Springs, the Warm Springs, the Greenbn-
er White Sulphur Springs,the Red Sulphur
and the Rockbridge Alum Springs. Be-
sides these resorts for health and pleasure,
there are hundreds Of country homes 10
the mountain region where board can be
obtained on the most favorable terms.
The people along the line Of the Chesa.
peake and Ohio have made the care Of the
summer bOarder special business, and IL
is safe to say one can secure better accom-
modations with them than In any part OF
the country.
Is grand without being austere. Gentle
streams dow through messy banks and
over gravel beds, long yisias open
through the rolling mssses Of bills, and
mountains. Delightful glades invite TO
rest, and one may walk or ride viii, per-
feet comfort in all directions. The climate
is equal. the days being mildly warm,
tempered by cool evenings aud pights.
One does not experience great degrees Of
either heat or cold, and there IL always
the feeling OF energy and buoyaDcy that
the rare mountain air inspires. There Is
ozone and exhiliration 10 the atmosphere
during even the warmest season, and per-
sons who are listless At home are surprised
to find themselves taking keen delight In
long mountain walks, or in riding or driy-
ing for miles over mountain roads De-
scFiptiye matter, with rates and general
information, will be furnished by II. W.

Edgar Earl Jones. the nine-year
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. G.. F. Jones
fell through a hole in the sidewalk
one morning last week while going tc

Going to Louisville.

We understand Mr.. II. G.. Nc.

one of our very best citizens and one
Of the most prominent attorneys ia

estimable wife are much loved by a
large number Of our people and their

Justifiable Homicide.

Another one of those sad occur
rences for which our county is getting
noted of late, occurred Just after the
closing Of the Holston Valley Baptist
Association, Saturday afternoon, at
Plum Grove Church, in Caney Valley,
about twenty miles northeast of this
place, and near the Virginia line.
1t appears that some Virginia
parties learning that the Association
was to be held there and expecting
large crowd as usual, set up "blind
tiger" saloon across the state line,
with door to enter from either state,
and supplied all they could with
"highting whisky" and of this two
young men, Frank Taylor and Gran
vile Utsman, had partaken too much,
and became involved in a quarrel,
but were separated by friends, and
Taylor started for his home, when
Utsman followed him up, and not
withstanding Taylor's warnings for
him to stop and keep off of him, he
ran up behind Taylor and stabbed
him in the back. between the
shoulders, when Taylor turned and
shot him through the heart, killing
him instantly.
Taylor is seriously and painfully
hurt, but is not thought 10 be fatally
so.
UtSman was son of Marion ITS
nan, and Taylor il a son Of the late
James Taylor. Both are said to
rave been very nice men when not
lnder the influence of whiSkey.-

President MCKin-
ley's Message.
Congress Assembled at Noon Monday
TO Start Its Memorable
Session.
TEXT OF THE MESSAGE.

Washington, Dec. 5.-Congress re-as-
sembled at noon to-day under circum-
stances of unusual public interest. The
same Congress six months ago declared
war against Spain, and now, with the
war fought and won, it came together
again for the first legislative consider
alton of the questions developed by the
eventful months Just passed. The spirit
Of the occasion was not, however, one Of
immediate expectancy, for the few
months left to the existence Of the Fifty
fifth Congress give promise of little more
than beginning of the momentous pol
icies and problems growing out of the
war.
President Mckinley submitted his am
nual message as follows:
To the Senate and House of Representa-
tives:
Notwithstanding the burdens rendered
necessary by the war, our people Iejoice
in very satisfactory and steadily in
creasing degree of prosperity, evidenced
by the largest volume Of business ever
recorded. Every manufacture has been
productive, agricultural pursuits have
yielded abundant returns, labor in the
fields OF industry is better rewarded, rev.
enue legislation passed by the present
Congress has increased the treasury's re-
ceipts to the amounts estimated by it's
authors, the finances of the government
have been successfully administered and
its credit advanced to the first rank;
while its credit has been maintained at
the worlds highest standard Military
service under common flag and for a
righteous cause has strengthened the ma
tional spirit and served to cement more
closely than ever the fraternal bonds be- |
tween every section Of the country. A
review Of the relation of the United |
States to other powers, always appropri-
ate is this year Of primary Importance |
in view Of the mOmentous issues which |
have arisen, demanding in one instance
the ultimate determination by arms and |
involving far-reaching consequences
which will require the earnest attention
Of Congress
After reviewing the causes and Incl
dents which led up to the war with Spain
the President continues:
Our country thus, after an interval of
half century of peace with all nations,
found itself engaged in deadly conflict
with foreign enemy. Every nerve was
strained to meet the emergency. The
response to the initial call for 1250G0
volunteers was instant and complete, as
was also the result of the second call OF
May Is for $4,000 additional volunteers.
The ranks of the regular army were in
creased to the limits provided by the act
OF April %. The enlisted force OF the
navy on the 18th of August, when 1t
reached its maximum, numbered 2A,123
men and apprentices One hundred and
three vessels were added to the navy by
purchase, one was presented to the gov
eminent, one leased, and the four yes
sells OF the International Navigation

The Advocate and news., 1898-12-07

The area OF winter wheat reported as
probably sown is 4,64O,OOO acres, which
is an increase Of about per cent. from
last years sowing. An increase ranging
from to 20 per cent. is shown in eighty
eight counties, and ten counties estimate
no change in their acreage AS rule
the conditions since seeding are stated
to have been exceedingly favorable and
most promising stand and growth is at
this date beneath beneicent blanket Of
moist snow.
Corn is being contracted to feeders in
the corn territory at an average Of rs
cents per bushel, and well-nigh half the
crop Is likely to be so marketed by Jan
uary. The number Of fattening cattle is
less by at least per cent. than one year
ago. Swine Of all ages show decrease
OF 2 to per cent.
