a DREADFUL ACCIDENT.
Four Little Children Cremated in One
Fire.

a very appalling accident occurred on
the farm of Mr.. Joseph S. Gillespie, near
Liberty Hill, in this county, on last Fri
day afternoon.
4 man by the name of James Buchanan
is Tenant of Mr.. Gillespie, and with his
flmily, consisting of wife and four chill
dren, lived in log house on the farm.
There were two rooms to the house, and:
if we are rightly informed, there was only
one fire place. On Friday afternoon Mrs.
Buchanan left her four children, the old.
est six years of age and the youngest about
two years old, in the house and went on
an ewand to her brothers who, lived about
Il mile distant She had closed the house
so that the children could not get out,
having done so before and fearing no acci-
dent therefrom. We hear the mother
took the ?recaution to see that very little
ire, only one chunk, was left in the old
open fire place. This chunk she covered
up with ashes.
While Mrs. Buchanan was absent Mr.. jeff
Gillespie who was on the farm about one
mile distant, saw that the house was on fire
and went to it as rapidly as he could On
his arrival the entire inside of the building
was burned and the roof was ready to fall
in, and he could not enter the building to
see if any one was in it. In short time
it was ascertained that the children were
in the burning building, and were victims
of the awful flames. As soon as the heat
had sufficiently abated search was made
for the remains of the children, but moth
ing but q small pile Of ashes, that gave evil
dence of being ashes of human flesh and
pones could be discovered. This pile Of
ashes was in the room in which the fire place
was not located, and shows that the chill
dren had gone into that room to get away
from the flames How the fire started
will never be known. 1t may have begun
by one Of the children pulling the chunk
Of fire from the ashes and placing it in
contact with some naamable material, or
it may have resulted ftom some defect in
the chimney, that concealed for a time
slumbering fire.
1t was horrible accident and must ex-
cite the pity of every one who hears of it.
Mr.. Buchanan and his wife are very
worthy people we are told, and have our
prcfoundest sympathy in this hour of deep
allliction.

eve shall keep our flags at half mast as

how long the Vizcaya would remain in
American waters. II shall await instruc-
tons here" he SAID, "but while we re-
main we will not take part in any enter

The Meetings Still in Progress.

The religious meetings that we've COM
menced in the Methodist church last week
are still going on. Monday the plan was
adopted of holding two meetings each
day, one at 3:15, p. M, and the other at
7:15, p. m. On Monday Rev. j. Tyler
Frazier, presiding elder of this district,
came to the assistance of the pastor, Rev.
l. 2. Martin, and has been conducting the
meetings since then. The ministers Of the
other churches in town also attend at each
gathering and assist in the work.
1t is very evident that interest has been
growing and extending in the work that is
going on. Though the weather has been
inclement during the entire week the con-
gregations have been good all the time.
The preachers seem intensly in earnest in
their efforts to do something for the spir-
itual welfare Of the community and the
church membership is rallying to their
support. There is spirit of deep solem-
nifty pervading the atmosphere ofthe town
and showing itself in the congregations
that assemble at stated intervals On
Tuesday night penitents to the number of
four persons presented themselves to be
prayed for. They were the first since the
meetings began, and three made profess
ions that night.
The meetings will continue, at the
usual hours, each day during the week.
On Saturday the second quartely meeting
for this station will begin with Rev. Fra
zier in charge.

BOAT TO ATTACK SHIF'S HULLs.
Work Being iiurried en- a Submarine
Torpedo Vessel.

Baltimore, Md, Feb. 2o.-Work will be
pushed this week on the three torpedo
boats at the Columbia Iron Works here.
Special orders have been received to
hasten the completion Of the submarine
torpedo boat PiuBger. (Not TO be con-
founded with the Argonaut. This new
destroyer is designed to steal into any har-
Dor unseen, examine its bottom for sub
marine mines and torpedocs, destroy them,
if ordered to do 50, and depart unseen.
The PIunger is a cigar-shaped steel YES
sci, 95 feet long and II feet in diameter.
Her buoyancy is almost overcome by ad-
mitting water to ballast tanks. The slight
reserve buoyancy is overcome by inclining
horizontal ruddels at the stern and driv-
ing the engines forward when the bow will
drive out Of sight. She may come near
the surface and project mirror above the
waters, which reflects down into the vessel
the position of any war ship on the sur
face.
In the bow of the Plunger are two tor
pedo tubes. From these tcrpedoes can be
sent out while the vessel is submerged,
and if they strike an enemy's hull, it will
be the last Of her. The Plunger is pro-
PEELED by twin screws. She has steel cyl
inders in which sufficient air may be
stored for submerged run Of twehty-four
hours.

Band Reorganization.

We are informed that the Jaeger Con
cert Band has effected a complete reorgan'
ization, and will by regular practice en-
deavor to hold the high position it has
heretofore occupied as an amateur band
A good band is greatly desired in every
town. On all public occasions it is an i'm
portant factor and useful in making such
occasions pleasant and successful. The
people love to hear the band play, but
too frequently are not disposed to give ii
any substantial encouragement and aid.
1t is the purpose of the Jaeger Band to
increase its membership, and consequently
it will need some more instruments. II
has advertised for ciarionet player and
if good one is obtained he will add greatly
to the capacity of the band.
We understand that efforts will soon be
made to raise funds for carrying out the
proposed changes in the organization and
for the purchase of new instruments etc.
We have no doubt the citizens will give
liberia! support to their band, which las
heretofore ranked first among the bands Of
this section.

Editor Tazewel REPUBLICAN:

has one of the best court houses in the
State. One block of the best buildings in
the town was burned few days before
got here The tax rate here is $2.45 on
the one hundred dollars, 40 cents to pay
on the county debt as sinking fund. The
county superintendent Of poor is paid 10
cents per week for each pauper, besides
income from the poor house farm, the get
ting county paying the doctors bills.
The public roads are worked by over
seers, who warn the the hands four days
in each year. The roads are but little bet
ter than they were 10 years ago. Sheep
are very high and few in the county. Not
many cattle are grazed but they sell high.
Horses said to be low.
