FOURTH OF July.
How It Was Observed In TazeweIl.

The great National Day, the Fourth OF
July, was very quietly observed by the
people of our town. But we could see
that more persons took an interest in the
day than at any time since our residence
here. The merchants did not close, but
the bank and post office duly recognized
it as a holiday.
There we're some houses decorated with
flags and bunting, among them the resi-
dence of MIR. w. G. Harrison, the stores
of r. G. Chapman and Harrison & Gil
lespie Bros, the Clinch Valley News Of
fee, the Coffee House, the postoffice and
the REPUBLICAN office. The decorations
of the REPUBLICAN Office were more ex'
tensive than of any building in the town,
and was very much admired, especially
the portrait of President Mckinley, which
occupied central and conspicuous po'
sition.
Mr.. ]. B. Caudill had his express wag'
on, which conveys the mails to and from
the station very beautifully decorated,
the large umbrella over the seat being es'
pecialy pretty, with its covering of "Stars
and Stripes" The street car was also
handsomely dressed up with flags and
bunting.
There was perfect order on the streets
during the day, and everybody seemed to
be having a good but quiet time.

THE H0B0KEN FIRE.
Property Loss $IO,OOO,OOO-LOss Of
Life Over 800.

New York, June 30.-Almost $10,000,-
600 worth of property vas destroyed,
many lives were lost, many persons were
injured and many imperlled by a fire
that started among cotton bales, stored on
Pier No. 2 of the North German Lloyd
Steamship Company, in Hoboken, N. j.,
at 4 O'Clock Saturday afternoon.
In less than fifteen minutes the flames
covered an area of quarter of a mile
long, extending outward from the actual
shore line to the bulkheads from 600 to
l 900 feet away, and had caught four
great ocean liners and dozen or more
smaller harbor crafts in its grasp.
Those who gathered along the shores oi
the Hudson river to witness the great
conhagration saw spectacle they car
never forget River and bay were envel
oped in pail of black smoke, through
which angry flames, bursting as from
volcano on the Jersey shore, and in the
water itself, leaping like red spectres into
the sky.
Such was the tremendous spectacle pre-
sented on the surface of the Hudson riv
er. 1t was made tragic by the realization
that somewhere beneath the turbid wat
ers, scores of human lives had been lost
or we're then in their last desperate strug
gle against death.

Educational Movement.

On Monday night mass-meetlng oil
the citizens of the neighborhood was
held at White Church, in Thompson Val
ley, in the interest Of education. The
meeting was addressed by President
Buckner, Of King College, and by Rev.
Thomas Mowbray. A movement was
started for the establishment of a high
school at that place. A subscription was
started and we are informed $l,O5O was
secured as starter. 1t is thought the
subscription will be swelled in that COM
muuity until it reaches $500, and that 1t
will be supplemented by sums raised IN
other parts of the Valley until sufficient
amount is secured to establish an excel
lent school. 1t is hoped that building
can be erected to put the school in oper'
alton by tie lst of next October.

NOAH ALTIzeR ESCAPES.
Taken to WytheviIIe on habeas Corpus
And When Returning Escapes
at RIuefeld.

At the October term, 1899, of TazewelI
county court, Noah Altizer, a young man,
was indicted for betrayal under promise OF
marriage of Mollie Altizer, a young girl
Both of the parties lived in the extreme
western part of the county, 10 the neigh
borhood of Harman post Office.
Until about three weeks ago Altlzer had
evaded arrest, but was then taken under
capias by Deputy Sheriff X. S. Gillespie
and Detective X. M. Baldwin. He waf
brought to Tazewell and lodged in JAIL
At the beginning Of the present term o'
the county court motion was made be-
fore Judge Stuart to bail Altizer, but the
court for seasons satisfactory to his honor
refused to grant bail. ThereupOn Henry
& Graham and S. NJ. B. Coulling, cOunse
for the accused, sued out writ of habes'
corpus to take Altizer before Judge Jack
son to make an application for bail.
On Sunday afternoon Aitizer was taker
to Wytheville by Deputy Sheriff Thomas
Harrison. They were accompanied by
Judge Coulling, who presented the motion
to Judge jackson at Wytheville on Mon
day. Judge jackson refused to act upoI
the motion, because notice had not beer
given the Commonwealth Attorney o
Tazewel county that the motion would b'
made. The motion was continued unit
the 9th inst, and Altizer was remanded II
the Jail of Tazewell county.
When the officer with his prisoner ar
rived at Bluefeld on Monday evening, &C
eompaned by Judge Coulling, they wen
to the Inn to get supper. While register
ing the attention of the deputy sheriff wa

had been relieved of handouts, and h
made his escape by the back door, Whel
Mr.. Harrison looked up from the registe
and missed Altizer he naturally looked II
the direction of the front door, by whicl
they had entered, and at that very me

of him could be found, but steps were i'm
mediately taken by Mr.. HARRISON to hun
him down, and he will hardly be able t
long elude arrest.

NV Dear General Rosser:--Few letters

fellow soldier. By the way, doubt that
1t has ever come to your knowledge that L

was Georgian, and of my two uncles one
was an admiral in the Confederate service
and the other was midshiplnan who fired
the last gun from the Alabama before she
went down.
Probably over half my regiment was
composed of the sons of Confederates, and

interests diverged. l challenge the right
of being treated as a staunch friend OF the
South as am of the North, of the East as
am of the West, and believe in the Re-
publican party because | aim sure it is real

The support of a gentleman like yourself

Believe me, very faithfully yours,

be whether the Democratic platform shall

of the attitude of the Democratic party on

Who will say that it is not the duty Of

progressed too much TO allow the best

steps, by armed force, China should be
given a free and enlightened form OF
