camped near her home she had pro-
vided for his table in such a manner
rs to call forth the thanks OF the great
commander in words which were long
after cherished in the family. When
the army had departed she returned
to her home, but the stirring expe-
riences in the camp were to be fol.
lowed by still more stirring expe-
riences in the neutral ground. Prowl-
ing bands OF tories and Hessians sent
out from New York soon created q
veritable reign Of terror. Possessions
were stolen, homes were burned, and
in the awful rage which was begotten
of the war 1t almost seemed us II
every mans hand was lifted against
his neighbor.
Stillyoung Mistress Fisher remained
alone in her home, cheered by the &C.
casional visits Of her husband, and on
rare occasions fleeing to the shelter
of Coney hill with her neighbors when
1t was reported that larger band Of
marauders than usual was approach
ing; but for the most part she stayed
behind to guard, her few possessions
and defend her home. And she we'll
knew that her presence was demand
ed. At one time, force of red-coats
had carried away with them the roam
colt, which was her own special pride
and property; but, undismayed, she
had mounted the other horse, which
had been left behind, and ridden
straight to the British camp at Nor
risania, and with flashing eyes had de-
manded of the captain the return Of
her possessions. The officer had
laughed, and, moved perhaps by her
very holiness, had granted her re-
quest. She had left the camp leading
the roam colt behind her.
OF late matters had become steadily
worse. The visits Of the marauders
had increased, while those of her hus-
band were less and less frequent.
And, indeed, twice had he had such
an experience that, eager as she was
10 see him, the young wife had tear
fully begged of him not to make the
attempt again.
At ono time he had been traced by
the redcoats, hoping to capture the
bold scout, and not long after he had
entered the house his enemies had
surrounded the place and boldly called
upon him to surrender. Mistress Fish
er, terrified but undaunted, had lifted
the rough boards of the kitchen floor
and concealed her husband beneath
them, and then, with an appearance
nf boldness she was far from feeling,
had faced the soldiers and hidden
them search the house-a search
which proved unayailing.
At another time--and the young
wife could never repress the shudder
which crept over her at the recollec-
fion-he had been surprised by the
band OF Blindberfy. the most detested
6fail the tories in the neutral ground,
and unable to escape had been seized

the gold which hetwds supposed to
have concealed somewhere about the

Was Gold Standard Candidate for Presl'
dent In 1896.

Springfield, ILL.,, September %. General
John NJ. Palmer, ex-senator from Illinois,
died at bis home in this city at 8 a. m.
today.
Heart failure was the direct cause OF
General Palmer's death. He had been i'll

lessly three persons in the Lukban district.
The insnrgent demonstrations last week
prove to have been more extended than
was at first reported. From Cagsyan and
Isabella provinces and the northwestern
districts of Luzon come accounts of insur-
gent operations and American precaution-
ary measures. Merchants in the Province
of Albay are getting their hemp to Manila
as rapidly as possible, fearing that other
wise it will be burned by the insurgents.
At Ilollo there was considerable anxiety
lest an uprising should occur; but the In
surgents there are ceasing their activity
and returning in white clothing to the gar
risoned towns of the district As a re-
sumption of insurgent operations is con-
sidered quite probable, the Americans
there are taking the necessary steps.
The American casualties in killed,
wounded or missing during the last len
days appioach one hundred, including
those at Siniloan, at the east end OF La
guna de Bay, where the insurgents after
the engagement delivered ten bodies OF
our dead.
Documents captured in Manila show
that the insurgent activity in this vicinity
was ordered by rebels here, following in
structions from the Hong Kong Junta.

TAZEweLL ELECTRIC COMPANY
Is Forced TO Advance Its Rates.

No town or city has ever bad a better
light service than that which Tazewell has
enjoyed during the past year. That SER
vice, however, has been given at very
considerable financial loss to the owners
of the electric plant. This loss was not
occasioned by any defect in the machinery
or misma1agement of the plant, but was
caused solely by fixing the rate sheet for
lights too low. In an honest effort to give
the citizens of the town splendid lights, at
the lowest possible margin, the Messrs.
Spots figured too low, but have gone on
for the year and filed their contract faith
fully. 1t has been known to all persons
in the town that the plant was being run
at loss, but no one has heard any MUIR
murs or complaints from the Messrs.
SPOTS.
Now chat it has become ne cessaIy to ad'
vance the rates no complaints should be
made by those who are using the lights.
The new rate adopted by Tazewell Elec'
trio Company is lower than the rate of any
other town in Virginia.
An examination of the rates of such
towns and cities as Radford, Wythevile,
Harrisonburg, Clifton Forge, Suffolk,
Charlottesville and Roanoke will disclose
the fact that our citizens are receiving q
service which cannot be excelled, at low
er rate than is given in any other town in
Virginia.
We hope the town and citizens will duly
appreciate the enterprising spirit th'
Messrs. SPOTS have shown in giving III
one of the greatest comforts the town ha
ever enioyed. We know the ladies, wh'
are houskeepers and have used the light
in their homes, do and will continue t.
bless the enterprise which has been suci
comfort TO them in their housekeeping
We know they will be for standing by to
electric light company.
= The advance of rates is not large, 1t wi
be sufficient, it is hoped, to put the plan
ON paying basis. No other questio
should be considered by the citizens bu
ability to pay the new rates. All VIII
have taken and used the lights are able
do so. The people of other towns are nc
more able to sustain and support an elet
trio light system than is our town. LIE
there be no backward movement by tn
citizens of Tazewel, but let their be
firm resolve that our electric lights hay
u come to stay.

MARSHAL CAMP0S DEAD.
He Was a Notable Figure in the Politics
and Military History of Spain.

Madrid, Sept 2S.-Marshal Arsenic
Martinez Campos died this morning, short
" after III o'clock, at Carauz, near San
Sebastian.
General Martinez Campos had been
prominent in the politics of Spain as well
as in her military history, though he had
been a soldier all his life.
When the last insurrectlon In CUBA
broke out it was he, as Captain'General OF
that island, to whom it fell to prosecute
the war. He was recalled and relieved by
Weyler in January, 1896.
In recent years there were several at
tempts to assassinate the Captain Gener'
al. all made by gang of Anarchists. Six
or seven years ago he was reviewing pa
rade on horseback and bomb was thrown
at him. His horse was killed and he was
thrown down and injured but not seriously
The same gang thought he was at the Ly-
ceum Theatre year later and two bombs
were thrown. Three men were engaged
in the plot, and several people were killed.
Martinez Campos has been looked on In
Spain for years as an invincible soldier
In every crisis he was one of the men VINO
were first called in consultation by the
Throne.
The influence exercised in Spanish poll
tics by General Martinez Campos was al
WAYS noticeably decisive since the year
1874. when he succeeded in his consplra'
cy to overturn the republic and caused Al
fonso XII to be proclaimed king in Mad
rid. Whether he held public Office oil
not. his advice was always sought, but hls
persistent endeavors to impress upon the
home Government the necessity for giving
way to the political aspirations OF CuD'
were in vain; his proposals. were never
cordially supported, even by his own par
tv Spanish "honor" forbade their enter
tanning his views and the name of the
"Paci6cator," bestowed upon him as
mark of esteem by the colonists, was use'
as a title of dersion at home, where
[ was charged that his leniency in dealing
With the rebels was the immediate caus
of the swelling of the insurgent ranks, ant
for this reason he was recalled, and Wey
Ter, who had quelled an insurrectlon IN th
Philippines in 1889 and had gained rep
utation for severity, was sent to succee'
him.

DAVITT AND THE TRANSVAAL.
Reported Conversation in Which He Said
He Was DislIIusi0ned.

London September 25.-The Pretoria
correspondent of the Standard in recent
dispatch throws an entirely new light up
on Michael DavitJ's experiences in the
Transvaal and his feelings toward the
Beers. In view of Mr.. Davitt's contribu-
tons to the American press during and
subsequent to his visit to the seat of war,
the Standards dispatch is of interest. 1t
is as follows:
Mr.. Michael Davitt left Pretoria on the
18th of May, broken and sick of heart, &C.
cording to the words he himself used on
the railway platform. Rev. H. j. Bats, a
minister hes recorded them, and they are
testified to by Rev. Henry W. Goodwin,
Congregational minister. "He told me-"
says Mr.. Bats, "that he had that morn.
ing advised the Transvaal government if
they would commend themselves in the
eyes of the world and obtain the sympa-
thy of European nations, that they should
at once wire Lord Roberts to this effect:
"'Now that the Orange Free State is
conquered and we are quite unable tc re-
sist alone the might of England, in the
interests of humanity and to prevent fur
ther bloodshed, we will surrender
"'Instead of doing this said Mr..
Davitt, they have sent message OF a
threatening character, telling Lord Rob-
erts they will blow up the mines or de-
stroy Johannesburg if some terms are not
made. What the terms really are they do
not state, and they do not really mean to
carry out the threat. Their whole action
will cover them with ignomy and con-
tempt before the civilized world. They
propose prolonging the business, without
seriously meaning to fight, for the one OBJ
iect of heaping up the bars Of gold they
are taking from the mines and accumu-
lating and boarding them In obedience to
the dictation of that old man Paul Kruger.
" That old man Paul Kruger, contin
ued Mr.. Davitt, lis engaged in a sort o.

boy predicting events that were to hap
