 Alter several weeks of intense suffering from gastritis, the Death Angel lowered low over the home of c. w. Martin, and took from It, its most sacred jewel, the devoted wife and mother, Monday night July ,. Reverently we bow our heads in sorrow over the death ot this noble christian woman. Death is always sad, always a shock, but doubly so, when It calls from the home the mother of large family to go and leave un- finished the great responsibility ot life, the rearing of her little ones. Mrs. Martin was born near Quit man, Aug. 10th, 1869, and was one of family of twelve children, four boys and eight girls, and was herself one of twin girls. Her maiden name was, Liza Condray, her twin sister is named Lizzie. Out of this large family all about grown, Mrs Martin is the first one

THE SITUATION IN CHINA.
Admiral Seymour, in Command of Allied
 Forces, Unable to Reach Pekin.

ed Press cables from Paris that as result of negotiations between the powers an agreement has been arr rived at providing for the mainten- ance of the statu quo in China. According to the understanding the international army of occupation will consist of SO,000 men. Russia and Japan will provide 12,00O each. Great Britain will provide 10000 men, France 5000 and Germany, America and the other powers D. 900 each.
 In a dispatch June 30th, British Admiral Seymour, in command of the allied forces in their advance toward Pekin, gives an account of the hard fighting of the troops. On June 18th two attacks were made on the advance guard by the Boxers, who were repulsed with considerable loss to them and none on the side of the allied forces. On June 14th the Boxers attacked the train at Lang Yung, leaving 100 killed. In this engagement five Italians were killed. On the 14th the troops pushed on to Anting, twelve miles from Pekin, where the enemy was found in force. During the days fighting 175 Boxers were slain.
 A further advance toward Pekin by rail being impossible on account of the road having been destroyed, on June 18th Admiral Seymour or dered a retreat to Yang Tsung. During the retreat two rear trains were attacked by Boxers and impe- rial troops from Pekin, who lost from 400 to 500 killed. The allied forces lost six killed and AS wound ed.
 Finding the railway destroyed in their rear, it was decided to with draw on Tien Tsin June 18th by boat, the forces marching along sida the river. Opposition was met dur ing the course of the whole trip. By making a night march the troops ar- rived at daybreak June 23d oppo- site the imperial armory few miles above Tien Tsin, where, after friendly advances, treacheroua heavy fire was opened by the Chi nese. The allied forces succeeded in silencing number of Chinese guns, and by storming the armory succeeded in taking and holding it.
 Admiral Seymour states that, having found ammunition and rice, his forces could have held out against the enemy for several days. but being hampered with large numbers of woynded, he sent to Tien Tsin for a relieving force, which arrived on the morning of June 18th.
 The armory was evacuated and burned, the troops arriving at Tien Tsin June 26th.
 Admiral Seymour reported that no authentic news had been receiv- ed up to June 30th as to the where abouts of the members of the lega- tions, although abundant reports from Chinese sources say that they were safe few days ago.

BATAMGAs BEAUTIES.
A Conway Boy Writes About the Magnificent Scenery of the
 Island of Luzon.

BdtalngdS, IT. l.. Mdy 70, yOO.
 At last we are bivouaced in for a breathing spell on the shores of the beautiful bay of Batamgas, nestled at the base of a range of evergreen mountains, out of whose sides come gushing rills of purest water. Here we rest in complete seclu- sion with abundance of material to shine our weather beaten rifles, that have been exposed while out on our expedition.
 There is nothing to compare with this much favored corner of the universe as the beauties of this city, surrounded by mountains at whose bases in every detail rivals in beauty the most picturesque hills of Switzerland. At the foot of these mountains flow streams of crystal water, whose fountain head is perhaps only rifle shot away.
 The public square..is oblong with a grandstand in the center and sur rounded by a tract of evergreen flowers, whose blossoms know not the killing sting of Jack frost On the south side stands the Castilian devotion doors. These doors are guarded by a large wooden cross and whose sides are braced and pillowed after the style of the old fashioned stone bridge. Here al most daily gather the simple mind ed natives, who bow down on the stone floors and pour out their many secret thoughts. In the center of this plaza stands great monument with golden cross and bearing the imposing name of the square or plaza de independiancia (place of independence). How strange this seems to appear in a land where the people have never enjoyed the sweet blessings that can be had from independence.
 On all the surrounding hills and extending down to the waters s edge are trees that bear fruits of every description of tropical na- ture, which busy hands are contin- ually gathering and preparing for the market, of which the American soldiers consume the greater halt. Corn, sugar cane, sweet potatoes, tomatoes and pepper and an end less number of native vegetables can be found The principal ex- ports are sugar and hemp. Ba- nanas are consumed in local mar kets. Coffee fields are also found in the interior.
 Along the main streets ot the town in almost every building Is z dwelling with the lower floor de voted to the purpose ot trade. 4 single window with bamboo shut ters feet long and 4 feet wide opens upon tue street. From thi the goods are displayed.
 When a storm approaches we set different background. Earth, SC; and sky seem to meet and with an imated fury, burst upon the little valley, where nestles beautiful Ba tamgas. The sea groans and tht hills tremble and send down the grooves in their sides torrents O rushing and bursting foam iron the steep banks and overhangins rocks great cakes of earth slide down the hills and twisting winds wind up the ample foliage of the forest making monkeys hunt theii holes and American soldiers think of the happy days to come.

FIVE HUNDRED KILLED.
A Desperate Battle Fought in Co.
lOmbia Just Outside of the
City of Carthagena.

Kingston, Jamaica, May 21.-Ad
vices from Colombia by the Royal
Mail steamer Trent say the rebels are
operating around Panama, which is
full of troops, some of whom are
CHARTERED in the churches.
An engagement took place May Il
north of Panama, the rebels being
driven off. Carthagena is still in pos.
session of the government. The Trent
was TO have conveyed a body of troops
TO Carthagena, but the rebels de.
stroyed the bridges on the night OF
May 13, thus preventing the troops
arriving for embarkation.
On the same night a desperate en-.
gagement took place outside of Car.
thagena, in which the government
troops were victorious. AS many as
500 rebels are said to have been killed
in the fighting.

GRANT STATUE UNVEILED.
IL Was Presented to the Nation by the
Grand Army of tho RepubIic-Dis-
tinguished Persons Present.

Washington. May 20.-The statue
OF Gen. Grant, presented by the Grand
Army of the Republic, to the nation,
was unveiled in the great rotunda of
the capitol Saturday, and elaborate
ceremonies commemorative of the
event were held in the hall of repre-
sentatives in the presence of a vast
concourse of people, who included the
widow, daughter and descendants of
the hero of AppOmattoX, hundreds
of his comrades in arms, the officers
and committee of the " A. r., and
many persons distinguished in mill
tary, political and social circles. The
statue of the pre-eminent of the union
forces in the civil war represents the
contributions of thousands of his
comrades of the G. A. r., none of
whom was allowed to subscribe more
than - cents, and is the result of a
movement started shortly after Gen.
Grants death at Mt. McGregor, in
July, 1885.
1t is the work of Franklin Simmons,
an American sculptor. Of marble of
pedestal emblazOned with a bronze
seal of the G. A. R., representing the
grim old hero in the full uniform of
a general equipped for the field, with
top boots and gauntlets, his cloak
over his left arm, and his right hand
resting on the hilt of his sword. The
counterfeits of statesmen, soldiers
and pioneers in marble and bronze
adorn the old house of representa-
tives chamber of the capitol, now
statuary hall, but these are gifts of
the individual states. Grants statue
was unveiled in the rOtunda as be-
fitted the statue of one whose valiant
service was for the whole nation.
There it will remain with the statues
of jefferson, Hamilton and Lincoln,
which also are in the rotunda, an ex-
ample and an inspiration to future
generations.
The hero of Appomattox stands
near the western entrance, thanked on
either side by the famous paintings
of the Surrender of CORVALLIS" and
the Surrender of Burgoine."
The unwilling took place shortly
before noon in the presence of Mrs.
Grant, Mrs. Satoris, Miss Satoris, the
officers of the G. ~ r.. Speaker Hen
derson and Senator Frye. president
pro TEN of the senate.
The fact of the unwilling was kept
secret, and only few outsiders wit
messed it. There were no ceremonies.
Miss Satoris, attired in white, drew
the lanyard that uncovered the
statue. Mrs. Grant inspected it crit
ically and smiled her approval. The
party then repaired to the hall of
the house, where the ceremonies oc-
Cured.
Washington, May 2O.-At 2:3O p. m.
Saturday the ceremony accepting the
statues of Benton and Blair from Mis-
souri, began, the other business of the
senate being laid aside.

rod, the chief factor in the imbroglio,
selling his land and agreeing to leave

which time many desperate conflicts
have occurred. The last attempt was
made when Alex. ReXrod, son of Rev.
John ReXrOd, it is charged, fired upon
his grandfather, Henry Rexrod, and
5. b. Taft, one of the insurgents,
with Winchester. Vne of the balls
grazed Taft's' neck, the other two
shots going wild. A warrant for

Declares Judge Williams, of the
Federal Court.

Little Rock, Ark, May 2O.-In the
United States district court here
John A. Williams imposed a Jail SEN
tence of six months upon Guy Miller
and Alden Hayes for contempt of
court and interfering with the nom
union motormen who are employees of
the courts receiver, now operating
the street car system. 1t was con-
tended by the defense that the mo
torman and conductor were not on
duty at the time, but the court held
that it made no difference, and that
the receivers employees, as such, are
entitled to the protection of the court
at all times. The court further de-
clares that the term 'scab,' as applied
to non-union employees who are under
the courts protection was in itself
very near contempt, and must be
stopped.
