Highland recorder. (Monterey, Highland County, Va.) 1877-1972, 1900-07-20

A man registering at Capon Springs,
a summer hotel, as "Mr. Zon, Washing
ton, d. c." committed suicide there
by taking morphine. Dependency
was the cause of the act.
Zon came to Capon on June III
and has been stopping at the hotel
ever since. No one of the other Wash
ington guests was acquainted with him
and nothing Is known of his past.
Zon retired as usual, but failed to APP
pear for breakfast Manager Charles
F. Nelson forced an entrance to the
room and found him lying dead on the
bed, partly undressed, with an empty
vial by his side. 1t was at first thought
the man had died from natural causes,
but when an examination of his effects
was made to ascertain his identity a
letter addressed to Capt. w. H. Sale.
proprietor of the Springs, was found.
The letter told of the mans determine
ton to end his life, and stated that he
was without friends, relatives or
money. Only few cents were found
among his effects. Efforts to locate
his friends failed, and he will be bur-
led at Capon. Zon was of Jewish de-
scent and an atheist.

BELIEVED TO BE DEAD.
State Department Takes Gloomy View
of Fate of LegatiOnists.

State Department Takes Gloomy View
of Fate of Legationists.
Washington (SpeciaD From a
source worthy of the highest credence
it was learned that the State Depart
ment believes all foreign Ministers in
Pekin have been massacred. Secretary
Hay has no information at hand upon
which to base this assumption, but it
is said that he draws the conclusion
from all the circumstances and alleged
circumstances surrounding the Chinese
situation.
The Imperial edict reported to the
State Department is understood to
have determined the Secretary in his
gloomy Inference. That edict left Pekin
on June 30, and he believes that If Mr.
Conger was then alive and safe some
reassuring word would have accom-
panied the communication.
The department is, however, haz-
arding no more guesses as to the fate
of Minister COnger and the other dip
lomats ut the Chinese capital. 1t is
simply waiting, anxiously waiting, for
some definite ray of light from Asia.
Until then speculation will cease.

4 Cornerstone Laid.

The cornerstone to the new addition
to the Timber Ridge Church, which
was built in 1856, was laid. There
were quite a number of persons pres
ent, but no set ceremony. The sealed
box was placed in the receptacle by
Margaret Campbell Kinnear, a direct
descendant of one of the original
founders of the church. Sermons by
former pastors, lists of the members
and other matters pertinent to the
church were inclosed in the box. Five
Of the members of the present congre-
CATION are direct descendants of the
founders. This is the church the sand
used in the building of which was
brought on horseback by the women Of
the congregation.

About Their Heads.

Washington Especially From many
sources testimony accumulates to the
effect that the foreign legations in Pc
kin have been destroyed and their in
mates massacred.
dispatch to the London Daily Mail
from Shanghai purports to give, on the
authority of the Shantung Governor,
details of the capture of the legations
on the night of July and the subse-
quent massacre of foreigners. Accord
ing to this story, the legations sue
cumbed only after an all-night attack.
The forces of Prince Tuan defeated the
regular troops of Prince Ching and Of
Wang Weng Shao before the foreign
ers were slaughtered.
Minister WI has received at Wash
ington a dispatch from Sheng, at
Shanghai, saying that Chinese gen.
eral was preparing to lombard the for
eign legations in Pekin July z. A
Shanghai dispatch, said to be official
from Chinese sources, says that the le-
cations had fallen and foreigners had
been massacred before the departure
from Pekin of courier July 2.
According to a London dispatch,
Lady Hart, wife of Sir Robert Hart, d.
rector of Imperial Maritime Chinese
Customs, has received the following
message from her husband, dated
July s.:
"Our people, including the women,
are in the legations. Prepare to hear
the worst"
The only substantial doubt thrown
on the story is by LII Hung Chang, who
stated at Canton that several of the
legations were still safe, and that none
of the ministers, except Won Ketteler,
has been killed. The fact that no two
stories agree perfectly as to the date
of the massacre tends also to discredit
them Nearly all accounts have come
originally from Chinese sources, and it
is thought that the dates may have
been juggled with.
Dispatches from Tientsin tell of stub
born fighting between the allies and
the Chinese. Admiral Seymour has
sent reports to London indicating that
the allies are at least holding their
own. He says that the foreign garri-
son has been reinforced by 1900 Ameri-
cans, presumably including the Ninth
Infantry.
The powers are said to have reached
an agreement as to Chinese policy.
They have practically given up hope
of saving the legations in Pekin, and
will not make an advance, it is said,
until it can be done in overwhelming
force.
Ii Hung Chang, it is stated posi-
lively, will go to Pekin Immediately
and try to restore order.

bales of cotton, OF 1876, 539 bales more
than last year. These takings represent
more than SO per cent. OF the total
