British Guns shc,l the Eoer Lines

British Guns She'll the Bocr Lines
Late News From Chicyeley.
London, Dec. 2S.--The country is now
waiting anxiously for news OF further
movements On the part of Gems. Butler
and Methuen. 1t is considered attogath-i
ar likely that Gen. Butler, having been
forced into disastrous error by the pre-
cipitancv of the war office. Will make no
important move until he shall have re-
ceived the heaviest possible reinforce
ments Of artillery. AS for Cen. Alethuen.
while all reports of reinforceinents are
carefully censored out of existence, the
reasonable presumption is that he is
waiting for suitable conditions for {:
forward movement and in the meantime
is saving his ammunition.
We have news from tshieveiey camp
as late az Tuesday. The long-range
British guns have been sheiling the Boe,
lines at Colensn. Indeed. there are signs
on both the east and the west of q re-
crudescence of lsoer activity. on the
Tugela the enemy has CONSTRUCTED z

place OF the one at Coienso destroyed hy

| ject is; probably TO maintain communi-
cation with the force which IS in posi-
| ton on the slopes of Mount Imhlawe,
and which might. il left unsuppored,
be attacked by Gen Butler and crushed.
! There are many small signs OF Boer
activity III this region, even as far south
| as the Blaauwekrans river. On Dec. 70
q picket of the Thirteenth hussars was
| suddenly attacked. The next day the
! Natal carbineers returned the conpli-
| ment. managing TO strike smart blow
| at their opponents.
1t is clear both from the operations in
/ the recent battle and from subsequent
| events that the British camp at Ghieve-
1 ley is to some extent threatened from
/ The eastward, although it is more than
doubtful whether any attack is intend

barded on Dec. is, and col Plumer is

AT the Mcdder river the Beers are adj
i yancing their trenches toward the Brit
ish lines. An exchange of shells is pro-
ceeding at long range. The Boer pro-
jectil.s generally fall short. There is nc
tsien as vet of "a British advance, but the

The First Landlord OF the Exchange
Hotel.
To the Editor OF The Dispatch:

10 the Editor OF the Dispatch:
In your. issue of June 18th appeared a
contribution by Mr.. Price in regard 10
the early days Of the Exchange Hotel in
which 1t was stated that the late Mr..
John Z. Ballard was the first landlord
Of that hotel
The statement is not correct, and al
though ii Is not matter Of any per-
sonal interest TO me that Mr.. Price was
ignorant Of the fact that Mr.. Frederick
Boyden was the first landlord of the
Exchange Hotel, yet | think that when
anything goes on record through the pub
nc press involving the past history OF
the city II should be strictly correct
remember when the hotel was built and
l remember the Old tobacco warehouse
which occupied the present site of the
Exchange Hotel. The first site chosen
for the location Of the hotel was the
northwest corner OF Main and Ninth
streets, on lot which embraced one
fourth of the square. and which belonged
TO the late Archibald Blair. who lived on
this lot in a wood frame building, which
was some distance back from Main street
on which il frOnted Mr.. Blair. who was
then a teller in the Farmers Bank OF
Virginia 0he Bank Of Virginia and the
Farmers Bank were the only banks in
the city at that time, and they were
situated exactly opposite 10 the present
custom-house building) sold his lot 20
the newly-Organized Exchange Hotel
Company for $4,000 and the company
agreed to pay that amount for e. But
when Mr.. Blair was called upon 70 sign
the necessary papers he said he must
have $50 900. The company would not
agree to give any more and MI Blair
was informed that he could keep hts lot.
The present site Of the hotel was ihen
owned by the late Mr.. Nicholas NILS.
wealthy citizen. and the owner Of valuable
coal mines in Chesterfield. which were the
principal source Of his wealth. Mr.. Mills
sold his warehouse property TO the COM
pany, and became a large stakeholder in
IL. When the hotel was ready 70 be oc-
cupied the company secured the services
of Mr. Frederick Boydon. who was then
keeping the Aston House, in New York.
He had kept the fremont House, IN
Boston. Both Of these hotels were the
latest up-to-date hotels OF the respective
cities mentioned, and Mr.. Boyden was
then said TO be the best hOtel-keeper in
the United States. He certainly kept
the hotel in a style which was a revela-
ton to this community, who had never
known anything SUPERIOR 20 the taverns,
familiar TO them as the Union" the
BELL" and the Eagle" not to speak Of
the Swan" situated on Broad street be
tween Eighth and Ninth. But the object
OF this communication having been ac-
complished. l suppose | have no right to
further intrude upon your space.
