LETTER FROM PAGE.

Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette J
Luray, Va, Nv 20-The lale FIRE
here swept away the entire block OF
buildings from the bridge over the
Hswksbill to Water street, some seven
houses and contents of part of them,
involving a loss of some $4,000, with
an insurance of about one fourth.
We have no means at all to fight
fire, and had it not been for the night
of perfect calm greater loss must have
occurred. AS usual at such times the
matter of water works is again sprung
among our people, but whether it will
result in anything more than talk re-
mains to be seen. The one great matter
Just now in cur county is the reopening
of thu Gem Furnace, near Shenandoah.
This plant has been idle since 1892. but
under the present ownership of the En-
pire Steel and Iron Company, of New
York, will be put in blast by the first
of the coming year, after thorough,
extensive and expensive overhaulir
by the new owners who will put it in
the most complete order and under a
management that will insure its best
operations. a large number of men
have been at this work for more than 8
month and there are now 125 still en-
gagged. The daily output will be loo
tons OF pig iron. The repairs will cost
S125, 900.
TIE apple crop of Rappahannock
county ia good one and many barrels
of ALTERNATE pippins have been ship
ped from there to Liverpool and Lon
don. This industry gives promise Of
great help to this county. The
brandy industry in Page seems to have
been checked, for with good crop Of
apples, only seventeen camps havl
been started. The experience OF two
years ago, when seizures of half tbF
distilleries were made, has created q
healthy prudence which has bad its ef
feet.
The new N Methodist Episcopal Church
South, on Main and Broad streets
is now nearing completion, and
it will be ready for opening by the new
year. 1t is by far the finest and most
costly church building in this valley,
and will be fine one indeed.
There is a heavy freight traffic on the
N. & W. Railroad, and to meet it this
ctm ,any is now running long and
heavy trains pulled by three heavy
ard ponderous engines over its road.

FLEMING DEFIANT.

O.car 1. Fleming, of Princess Anne
county, who killed young Clarence
Suyder and later killed r. B. Gilmore
during an attack upon Flemipg's house
by mob which intended lynching him
went to Norfolk yesterday morning
His presence soon became known. A
crowd assent led in front of a store
where Fleming stopped and but for the
prompt action of the police bloodshed
would have ensued. Fleming went
into the store ostensibly for the purpose
OF purchasing bolts with which to Sc
cure the doors of his house. The report
spread that he was securing arms and
ammunition. This excited the crowd
who surged about the doors and were
with difficulty restrained from entering
by the police. As precautionary
measure Fleming was taken to police
headquarters. Here warrant was
sworn out by relative Of Snyder
charging Fleming with drawing pistol
and threading to shoot into the crowd
which had congregated around the
store, and was served upon him. Elem
ing denied the charge. A great
crowd followed Fleming to the po'
lice station, and it was only with great
difficulty that the police dispersed the
mob. Later Fleming was admitted TO
bail. He Immediately entered cab
with his bondsmen and drove to the
railroad station, where he took train
fer home.
At police headquarters Fleming de-
MED having killed Snyder. He said
that his friends had sent plenty of shot
guns and ammunition to his house.
"Let them come" said Fleming, "they
will be sufficiently amused before they
get through. lean protect myself and
am afraid of no oue." He said his house
would be strongly guarded tonight and
that be had heard it was the intention
of the Princess Anne authorities to give
him special guard those now staying
with him being volunteers.
Fleming said that the body of the
iyncher, supposed to be R. B. Gilmore,
was removed from his yard aud Carr ed
in box to buryiDg ground on his
place, used by colored people. There
are many men who know the man, said
Fleming, but no one will claim the body.
Before leaving town in closed car.
riage Winchester, which he had left
in bar room was put in it. He has
appealed to the public for suspension Of
opinion. He denies killing Snyder, and
pleads Jurisdiction in the last tragedy.
His appearance and bragadocio de.
meanor has embittered many people
who we're disposed to regard his case
leniently.
The reported killing early yesterday
morning of Constable Powell was mac
curate.

The result of the recent cleo

OF course, what the people of Virginia
NAV or can do will have nothing to do
with the case, as the Constitution OF

three fourths of the iorty.four States
have to give their consent to any
change in that instrument. But even
if otherwise, the character OF the men

Admiral Simpsons letter to the Pres
ident published in. our Geographic col
un1ns yesterday and addressed to the
President does him infinite credit. 1t
is al manly, straightforward letter, self
sacrificing and just 1t lifts the Rear
Admiral greatly in public estimation,
for it is not to be concealed that there
is a strong current of opinion hostile
ITO Admiral Sampson because Of the be-
lief that he has been instrumental in
belittling, in some degree. Read Ad-
miral Schley. 1t seems that Simpsons
recommendation to promotion went up
for confirmation along with several 9TH
ers; that because of the inclusion of
Sampson in the list, confirmation of all
was refused. The Admiral now asks
that the others named be given their
promotions and that his name be omit
ted. That rs to say he does not wish
to ride to promotion on the shoulders
of others, nor does he wish others to
suffer from association in the same list
with his name. This is manly action
on the part of Admiral Sampson, and
will win him praise and respect from
all fair-minded citizens
