The Bible Restored.

The Bible of Archibald Young, a
Confederate soldier of the 45th Vir-
inia Regiment, which was picked
up on the battlefield at Cedar Creek,
by o Federal soldier, mention of
which was made in the Trzewell Re-
publican recently, has been secured
by Colonel May, and turned over to
Mrs. Kate Crutchfield, of Burke's
Garden, who is the youngest daugh-
ter of Mr.. Archibald Young, and was
born since the war. The Bible fell
into the hands Of Mr.. James, of
Ohio.
Quite an interesting correspond
ence took place between Col. May
and Mr.. James-old soldiers, on op-
posite sides of the conflict. This old
Bible has been the cause of very
pleasant interchanges of friendly ex-
pressions between Col. May and Mr..
James.
This is not the first time the Bible
has been the cause of bringing to-
gether in pleasant relations, friends
and foes.

Coin Harvey has resigned as gen.
eral manager of the Ways and
Means Committee of the Democratic
National Committee and Mr.. Samuel
B. Cook, of Missouri, has been ap.
pointed in his place.
Mr.. Cook has been practically in
charge ofthe Office for some time
while Mr.. Harvey has been in the
field. Mr.. Harvey gives as the
reason OF his resignation that he
could not get the committee to agree
on what he thought was practical
and business like and aggressive

for the success of the work of the
Ways and Means Committee and the
principles of the Chicago platform,
but further than this refused to

between Messrs. J. w. e. ", and

An snjoyble Occasion In Honor

EDITOR CL1NeH VALLEY NEWS:
Williamson, w: Va, March 81
One of the most enjoyable occasions
witnessed In this place since its ex-
istence, was the entertainment given
at the home of attorney L. a. Samp.
selle, on Saturday evening March
25, in honor of Miss Belle Tiller,
the efficient teacher of private
school, which she most successfully
conducted here the past fall and
winter. Being apprised of the fact
that Miss Tiller would leave for her
home in Ta1ewell on Sunday morn
ing, many of the most prominent
people of this town met at the home
of Mr.. Sampsell as a token of their
appreciation of Miss Tiller and the
splendid work she had performed in
training the young minds intrusted
to her care.
The patrons of her school were a
unit in their expressions of satisfac.
tion Of the manner in which Miss
Tiller had conducted her school, and
the r0pid progress made by her pu
pills. Miss Belle will be sadly missed
To use the language of the poet:
"She had pulse for every tone
And made others pulses all her own"
We will miss her in the church in
which she took an active part an
rendered valuable aid. We will
miss her socially, rs she was an ex'
cellent onversationalist and had
rare taste for the purest and best
literature.
She raturns to her home in Tazc
we'll with the best wishes of the
people of Williamson, all praying
that her future life may be fraught
with much happiness.

A VERY SICK MAN
is JOHN SHERMAN
Departs for Washing ton-Thcse
Who Caught a Glimpse of
His Face Noted its Ghastly
Palor.

Newport News, Va, March 2S.-
The cruiser Chicago, which left
Hampton Roads March 13 under
orders to overtake the American
liner City of Paris and transfer from
that ship ex-Secretary of State John
Sherman, who had been taken se-
riously i'll, arrived at Old Point
shortly after the noon hour today
with the distinguished INVALID on
board. Mr.. Sherman was one of
tourists who were visiting points of
recent historical interest, having
chartered the Paris for the purpose.
The Chicago, after taking Mr.. Sher
man on board sailed from Santiago
last Friday morning, proceeding di
rect to this point.
The Secretary's daughter, McCal.
lum, watched the cruisers approach
from the veranda Of the Chambe
lain Hotel, preparations for the re-
ception of the invalid q that resort
having been made under her person.
al supervision.
Late in the afternoon Mr.. Sher.
man closely muffled and with his
features entirely concealed beneath
n heavy black veil, was placed in a
steam launch al d removed to the
pier. Two officers and four men
from the ship accompanied Mr..
Sherman and his attendants. He
was borne in litter to the hotel on
the broad shoulders OF four marines.
A gust of wind lifting the veil dis
closed the face of the invalid. 1t
was wan, pinched and of a deathly
pallor. A crowd of several hundred
people witnessed the removal OF The
slck man to the hotel. at d p. m.
he was again placed on the litter and
taken on board the Washington
boat.
That Mr.. Sherman is q very sick
man, no one who got glimpse of
the invalid's ghastly, pallid features
can doubt. He has lost flesh until
little remains of the once active and
ond vigorous man but frame, and
he is obviously far advanced in
feebleness and general infirmity.
While being prepared for the
stretcher, Mr.. Sherman gave the
sailors who were to carry him, mini
ute orders rs to how they should
handle the conveyance.

Cross to Get to the Enemy.
Washington, March az. = The
third day of fighting north of Manil.
la brought little of decisive charac;
ter from which the war department
officials could Judge what the out
come OF this movement would be.
In all official quarters the most in
tense interest prevails, but there was
no excitement and none of that anx-
iety and tension shown during the
memorable days OF last summer when
the decisive blows were being struck
at Santiago.
Early in the day General Otis
cabled the War Department in brief
but comprehensive dispatch summing
up the situation. It disclosed that
severe fighting was going on to day
with our forces advanced as far
north as Mariloa, while the insur.
geuis, under the command of Aguin-
dido, were being driven back with
considerable slaughter.
This and the Press dispatches sat.
isfied the officials that the stragetic
movement of entrapping the insur-
gents between our lines had not
proved as successful as designed
aud that the scene is now shifted to
a retreat by Aguinalno's forces and a
pursuit by our troops.
The insurgent retreat toward
Malolos was slow and dogged and
advantage was taken of one after
another of lines of trenchments, the
burning of bridges and the interrup.
tion of COMMUNICATIONS.
General Otis dispatch. although
received early to day was sent Mon.
day evening, Manila time, and sum-
moned mp the work of three days.
That the fighting would procede into
the fourth day was shown by his
closing sentence: 1.-The column
will press on in the morning. This
refers to Tuesday.
The engagement has now shaped
itself to that it is looked upon as
more of a chase than the execution
of stragetic movement. With the
American base advanced to Mariloa,
and the insurgent base forced back
to Mololos, the main bodies of the
two opposing forces are about ten
or twelve miles apart. This could
be quickly covered in forced march
under fair conditionc, but it is IL
miles of innumerable difficulties and
obstacles which our troops must
cover before they reach the insur
gent stronghold.

Manila, P. 1. March 25.-The
fighting, which had been going on

minutes after 8 o'clock this afternoon.
At that hour. Gen. McArthur's

Twenty second infantry, regulars,

They formed on the left. Gen. Otis

regulars, and the Second Kansas aud
First Montana, volunteera, were
stationed on the Polo side of the
river; between Talappa and Bagbag.
The American troops charged
fercely through the brush and heavy
growth in the bamboo groves. They
never faltered in the onward rush.
The loss of the Americans is much
less than that of the Filipinos. The
enemy lost heavily from the effective
fire of the American artillery. The
Filipinos were driven out OF the
trenches. Then the Third artillery
crossed the river where the American
troops met the severest opposition
in the days fighting. The fire from
the Filipinos was steady and heavy
and we'll maintained.
Manila, March 26.-The United
States forces captured Malinta today
and drove the rebels out of Malabon
after hard fighting, although the
casualties on the American side
were fewer than those of yesterday.
