Hampton, VA, Aug. 7-One
death at the National Military

today. This is the first new ase
reported since last Thursday.
The official report places the
whole number of cases at the Home
to date, at forty three and the
number of deaths at eleven.

a proposition to relax in some
measure the quarantine against
Newport News, declared by Nor
folk upon the outbreak Of alleged
yellow fever at the Soldiers Home
at Hampton, Va, was debated at
two meetings of the Board of
Health of Norfolk, Va, and Ports
mouth, held here today. No con.
clusion was reached and a joint
meeting Of the Board of Health,

mission, city officials and repre-
sentatives of the banking and
commercial interests Was arranged
to be held tonight.
1t developed at this meeting that
widely divergent views were held
by those pfescnt and the meeting
which was attended by some spicy
plsodes ended without anything
oeing done in the way of moditi-
cation of the existing quarantine
regulations.
The Board of Health of Norfolk
tonight, after the meeting referred
to, received from the citizens of
Old Point, formal petitions asking
thai the quarantine in force against
that town be raised This petition
will not be acted OH at present.
Unofficial advises from the Sol
dier's Home via Newport News and
also from Hampton, received this
afternoon, are to the effect that one
new case of yellow fever developed
at the Soldiers Home there today
This is not confirmed by the Ma
rine Hospital officials and the ac-
curacy of the report is doubted
here. 1t is stated by an official Of
the Marine Hospital Service, that
of the two last deaths at the Home
reported from Newport News as
having been caused by yellow fever
Oneywas from heart disease and the
other from malady in no wise
akiu to yellow fever.

new methods, and generally, of new
standing in the kingdom.
The setting apart, formally and
publicly of the New Christian
Church last Sunday was an event in
the history of that congregation.
1t was the elimination of long
cherished desires and hopes and
prayers. Tie brethren were filled
Mith exultant Joy as they gathered
in the beautiful temple. If the Jews
shouted and wept when the temple
was dedicated to the worship of God
whom they dimly saw and imper-
tectly comprenended, it is not at all
strange, but, natural, that a
Christian should rejoice on n like
occasion.
The services of last Sunday were
simple but impressive. The dedica-
tory sermon was preached by Rev.
Mr. DeYal, of Iowa, from 1. John,
SD. There was large audience
present, and the sermon was az
propriate, and highly complimented
The Music was under the direction
of Mrs. Pendleton, and was un-
ns ually spirited and fine.
BRIEF HISTORY
The new house succeeds the
small building which stood on
Marion Avenue, and which was pul-
chaser by the School Board and con.
verted into ii splendid hall for the
use Of the Tazewell High School.
1t was in this building that the
Church had its birth, in 1887, the
building having been purchased
from Roman Catholics some years
previous. A majority of the charter
members are still living, and most OF
them were present last Sunday
Among them were Mr.. and Mrs. Geo
W. Gillespie, Mr.. and Mrs. j. w.
Baker, DIR. r. B Gillespie, Mrs.
Mrs. Jas. HARRISON, w. G. and Miss
Ollie HARRISON, Mrs. ii b. Herman
Mrs. Peggy Vail, and others. These
were gathered together through the
preaching principally, of Drs. Chester
Bullard, jas. Calfee and d. A. Snow
of whom the two former are dead
These pioneer preachers laid the
foundation of the church in thi.
section, forming a neuclus here
around which and from which the
present strong and growing CON
gregation has been formed. The
Church has had four pastors viz
Rev. j. N. Harman, A. A. Ferguson
O. Shelburne and Philip johnson
though whose efforts the present
membership of ia has beer
gathered. During these years The
church has had the services of G. S
Lucas, r. @. Cave, L. J. Spencer anG

MABEL'S RETURN.

Ali the way home that horrible cry
rang in MabeI's ears. In every street it
was shouted out, and at every corner a
newspaper bill was displayed bearing
the fateful words:
"Trial of George Fenton today. Yer
dict and SENTENCED"
The hanson drew up before her home,
and the girl stepped out. She did not
stay to reply to Soames' expressions OF
surprise and gladness when he opened
the door, but walked straight to her
mothers room.
She opened the door gently and stop
ped on the threshold. and in that in
slant she knew the worst had happened.
Her mother was in her old chair by
the window, deathly pale and worn,
but fearless. One hand clutched the ia
biz at her side and the other was held
by her husband, who, bending over her,
strove by tenderess words and caresses
TO alleviate for an ins4snt the agony OF
her grief. He looked piteously aged and
broken.
"Mother! F,ather!" cried Mabel,
rushing toward them without stretched
hands.
"My darling, my darlingr' cried the
mother, holding her dear one to her
breast, and the tears that had frozen in
her heart now found their way.
"And George?' Mabel Whispered,
when she held her fathers hands
He turned his head away, and there
was a terrible silence in the room.
Yes, the worst had happened. The
evidence of the prosecution was abso-

DIR. FITZGERALD CAUSES 4 SENSATION.
On the day following the attempted
burglary at De We're Gardens Fitzger-
aid was remanded for week, at the
request of the police, pending the cap
ture Of his accomplice, which was con-
fdently hoped for. That capture, how
ever, was not effected, and on the day
after George Fenton had been sentenced
to death DR.. Fitzgerald took bis stand
alone in the dock.
In corner, among the unwashed
who had come to gloat over the batting
of the prisoner, was black bearded
man with keen, penetrating eyes and a
glittering row Of teeth. He had waited
the whole day for this case, and when
it at last was called and Fitzgerald
came up the steps into the dock be
leaned forward with eager intensity.
For the purpose of the burglary Fitz-
gerald had discarded the frock coat
which always lent some little pretense
of respectability to him, and he now ap-
peared in short pilot jacket IL place
of collar and tie scarf was twisted
round his neck, and gloves no longer
gave piquant finish to his exterior.
From the depths of a pocket he pro-
duced a single eyeglass, and, having
carefully wiped it, fixed it in his left
eye and then courteously took note CT
the magistrate. He nodded approvingly
at the reporters, smiled contemptuously
on the lawyers below and then turned
to survey the spectators. He looked at
them very carefully, and it might have
been noted that as he did SO the black
bearded man in the last row but one
drew back into the gloom Of his corner.

morning, Mabel saw with glad surprise
that her jai]er was now the man whom
she had recognized as Robert King, and
to her surprise be continued to act as
such for the next few days. She tried
to get him to talk, but Robert was wary
and would not enter into conversation.
Of course King had read of the De
We're Gardens burglary and had ceased
to expect the return of Fitzgerald, but
he was daily expecting the instructions
of Mr.. Keighley Gates respecting his
charge. That gentleman, however,
maintained a discreet silence, and as
the days passed Robert King grew more
and more inclined to accede to the un-
ceasing prayers of his captive, especial
lv as his funds had now run low, leav-
ing him without the means for keeping
the ablishment going.
So one day Mabel found her door left
ajar. She opened it gently and peered
into the passage. The front door was
wide open. In another minute the girl

ran she did not know, but she ultimate

hire. She hailed it, and after some
demur-for she admitted she could not
pay her fare beforehand-the man
agreed to drive her to De We're Gardens.
She got inside and the man whipped up
his horse. Soon the streets grew IA
miliar, and Mabel leaned back with
sigh of unutterable thankfulness All
danger was passed. She was free; she
would be at home within the hour
Suddenly the cry Of a newspaper boy
rang in her ears-"The South Audley

came the words: "Trial Of George Fem
