Two Trips.

Constable Hollis and Russler, who went
over to the second mountain on Friday to
arrest Marion Bowers for the larceny of a
set Of harness from Jacob Basore, return
ed with the stolen property, but without
the man.
Upon their arrival there they found that
Bowers was the mail carrier between
Petersburg and Cherry Run and they did
not think they had the power to arrest a
man in the employ Of Uncle Sam and thus
hinder the mail service.
They returned to town and consulted
Judge Faulkner and found out that they
did have the power and they started out
on the second trip after the man about
dark. They arrived at the second noun
tain about midnight, aroused Bowers
out of his sleep and brought him to town
and placed him in Jail to await hearing
before Justice Byers.

Destructive Fire.

About 1910 O'Clock Tuesday FIRE was
discovered at the country residence OF Mr..
f. w. Lupton, and about one hour Eater
the valuable home was nothing but q
mass Of smoldering ruins.
The building caught fire from the
kitchen chimney and was discovered by
one of the hired hands who was picking
cherries nearby.
Mr. and Mrs. Lupton were ii town at
the time and the news was sent 70 them
here The news was soon noised abroad
and large crowd went out. When
Mr.. and Mrs. Lupton reached home the
building was nearly consumed by the
flames.
The building was large two-story one,
part log and the remainder weather. board
ed. Several neighbors nearby attempted
to put out the fire but the flames spread
TOO rapidly and they looked to saving the
contents. Nearly all the household
goods were saved, although quite NUM-
Der of articles could not be gotten out in
time. What was once their beautiful
home is nothing but smouldering ruin.
A building in the rear was also destroyed.
The loss is about S.. 500 with 81 COO
insurance, placed with the Loudon Mutual
Insurance Co.. Loudon, Va.

b. & o. shops.

Superintendent King. Of the b. & O..
Bridge Works, located in this city, who
received orders sometime ago 10 close
down the works on July Ist, has received
no further order as TO what shall be done
after the works are closed down. II is
likely. however. that the buildings will
not long stand in idleness and be allowed
TO go to pieces and no use made Of them.
Mr.. King thinks something will be done
with them but, he said to a Herald
r preventative, II don't know bit
more about it than you do. have re-
ceived orders to close down and prepare
the machinery for shipment on the first
and ! will obey"
1t is possible, and maybe probable, that
the new company intends clearing the
two buildings, which are now occupied by
the bridge and switch manufacturing
plant and use them for something else.
Something is 70 be done and this some
thing nobody around these parts knows.
Or at least if they do know, they have
kept it to themselves.
1t is hoped that the buildings will not
long be allowed TO remain in idleness and
that something will be done that will
show the old time activity in the old shop
buildings.

is 1T RIGHT
For an Editor to Recommend Patent
rledicines?

From sylvan Valley News, Brevrad, N. c.
1t may be question whether the edi-
tor of newspaper has the right to pub
licly recommend any of the various pro-
prietary medicines which flood the mar
ket, yet as a preventive of suffering we
feel 1t duty to say good word for
Chamberlain Collie, Cholera and Di-
arrhoea Remedy. We have known and
used this medicine in our family for twen-
ty years and have always found it reliable.
In many cases a dose of this remedy
would save hours of suffering while a
physician is awaited We do not believe
in depending implicitly on any medicine
Tor cure, but we do believe that if a bot
tie of Chamberlain's Diarrhoea Remedy
were kept on hand and administered at
the inception of an attack, much suffering
might be avoided and in very many cases
the presence of physician would not be
required. At least this has been our ex-
perience during the past twenty years.

D. G. WING RECEIVER
Comptroller Doves Appoints Him
Temporary Receiver

Washington, Dec. 21.-Comptroller
Dawes this evening appointed Special
Examiner Daniel G. Wing temporary
receiver Of the Globe National bank of
Boston. In connection with his action
the comptroller said:
Some time ago Mr.. Wing, who is
one of the experts employed in the
system of special bank examinations
recently inaugurated, discovered a Sc
rious condition of affairs in the Globe
National bank, which he Immediately
brought to the attention of the comp
troller and under his direction to the
directors of the bank.
The directors very laudably agreed
and undertook to make good the
doubtful and bad assets found and
have greatly improved the condition of
the bank since that time They also
delivered to the comptroller a written
guarantee that they would remove the
doubtful assets. Recent failures in
Boston have lessened the value of the
unperformed portion of the guaranty,
and involved the solvency of the
bank.
In view of the fact that to allow the
bank to remain open longer will re-
suit in injustice to unsecured creditors,
now that the condition of insolvency
is found to exist, it becomes my du-
ty under the law to appoint a receiv-
er. Accordingly a cash dividend can
be paid to creditors at once"
The bank, it is understood was in
volved in the Squire failure and in
mining stocks. The following is a con-
densed statement of the condition of
the bank as reported to the comptroller
of the treasury, December 2, 1899:

How Joseph H. Walker Quietly
Observes the Seventeen An
niversary of His Birth
MRS. WALKER SHARES
H0N0RS WITH HIM
Children and Grandchildren
Gather at the Parental Board
For a Birthday Dinner

Hon. Joseph H. Walker was 70 years
old yesterday, and the event was OBJ
served by a reunion of all the mem
bers Of his family. In a. sense, the
day marked a double celebration, as
Mrs. Walker passed her 10th birthday
short time ago, and shared the hon
ors equally with her husband, yester-
day.
The three score years and ten that
have passed during Mr.. Walkers life,
in which time he has been such prom
inent figure in public life, in addition
t. looking after his very considerable
private interests, have dealt lightly
with him. 1t would be hard to find
more sturdy or better preserved man.
During the day, Mr.. Walker received
many handsome reminders of the an
niversary, in the shape of flowers and
communications from friends and as
sociates in all parts of the country,
congratulating him on the successful
passing of another milestone on life's
highway. Including the host and host
ess, there were q at dinner yesterday,
the youngest being little Katharine
Walker. the four months old grand
daughter of the congressman.
' -
daughters, Mrs. Shirk, wife of Milton
Shirk, a prominent banker of Peru,
Ind. Mrs. Claflin of Newton, wife of
Adams D. Claflin, president of the
Newton BoulevardStreet Railway Com
pany, George Walker of Newton, who
married Miss Mendenhall of Green
boro, N. c., and Joseph Walker of
Brookline, who married the daughter
Of Walter Richmond. Two of the
grandsons, Ebert Walker and Joseph
Henry Shirk, are students at Harvard
university. and were formerly promi-
nent i'll Worcester academy athletics.
A principal feature at the dinner ia
BILE was a mammoth birthday cake
bearing the dates 1S29-1S99 and 70 small
tapers arranged at intervals about the
edges, with a larger one in the centre,
as MI. Walker said, to grow on.
Members of the family at dinner
were: Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph H. Walker,
Mr.. and Mrs. Milton Shirk, Gilbert
Walker Shrk, Joseph Henry Shlrk,
Mr.. and Mrs. Adams D. Clahin, Mil
dred Claflin, William Walker Claflin,
only grandson of Ex-Governor Claflin,
Mr.. and Mrs. George Walker, Mr. and
Mrs. Joseph Walker, Richmond Walk
er, George Richmond Walker and
Katharine Walker, Mrs. S. D. Daven-
port and Misses Marguerite and Flor
ence Davenport
Mr.. Walkers reputation in national,
state and municipal affairs is known
throughout the land. He was born in
Boston. Dec. p, 1929. and in 1S43 re-
moved to Worcester with his parents,
when the elder Walker engaged in the
boot and shoe manufacturing business
which came into the hands OF his sons.
Mr.. Walker received his education in
the public schools but relied Drincipal-
ly on his methods and natural apti-
tude. As young man, his ability as
debater became apparent, and with
an requirement of a thorough knowl-
edge of parliamentary law, he laid the
foundation for the successes of later
years.
Mr. Walkers record in the govern
ment of the city, state and nation are
too well known for further comment.

Godfrey Thorne Goes Down Be.
fore Charley Golf

New York, Dec 21.-Charley Golf of
California defeated the English middle
weight boxer, Godfrey Thorne, in less
than two rounds, before the Hercules
A. c., in Brooklyn, tonight. The men
met at catch weights, but there was
very little difference in their respective
weights. Both put up a fast fight from
the first clang of the gong, each essay
ing left leads and right arm crosses.
Towards the end Of the first round,
Thorne went down from a right hand
cross on the jaw. After three seconds
he rose as aggressive as ever, giving
Golf several facers before the bell In
the second round, Golf went at his man
in smash bang style and with scarcely
a comeback forced the pace in hurri-
cane order, finally sending Thorne down
and out with left swinging smash
on the jaw. Time Of round, so seconds.
