GREAT DEMANDS
May Cause Failure of
Negotiations.

Washington, Mar, 19.--It is feared
that the negotiations at Pskin
respecting indemnities may fail,
owing to the greed Of individual
nations. Mr.. Rockhill, our special
Commissioners, who has been in close
communication by cable with the
State Department, has nothing but
discouraging reports to make of this
important branch OF the negotiations
1t appears that the ministers cannot
agree upon any uniform basis Of
indemnity, some OF powers demand
ing enormous sums. In most cases
the powers contend for the right OF
fixing their own indemnities the
result is that each power, put it's
claim at an enormous 6gure far
beyond anything known to the his
tory of indemnities. When the point
is made that the sum total OF these
national claims is far beyond the
ability Of China to pay, some OF the
nations reply by protesting a
Willingness to scale down some of
their claims vs soon as the fact OF
Cbina,s inability is manifested,
However as another precaution, the
same nations promptly adjust their
claims 80 that the scaling down
process IL applied would still leave
them with total indemnify cliim at
least equal to that of any of the
other nations. The difficulty
encountered in passing this point in
the negotiations is attracting much
more OF the attention of officials here
then the threatned collision
between the allies at Tien Tsiu.

Mrs. May, wife of Col. A, j. May,
a prominent lawyer and citizen OF
Tazewell, died last Sunday morning
at 8 o'clock, after brief illness, in
9he 10th, year of her age. The funer-
al services were conducted in the
Methodist church on Monday morn
ing at IL o'clock, by Rev. Mr.. French
her pastor, assisted by Rows. Brown,
johnson and Webb. The large
number of people of the town and
county in attendance upon the solemn
service, attested the high esteem III
which Mrs. May was held, and the
sorrow felt in her death. Besides
her husband she leaves two sons
Messrs S. ID. and A. j. May, Jr., and
one daughter, Mrs. 81, w. Steele, all
of whom live here except Mrs. II. w.
Steele who recently moved to Alb
ingdon. All the children and o
brother, Mr.. A. j Davidson, Of
Kentucky, were present when she
died.
Mrs. Matilda May was daughter
of Samuel and Judith Davidson. who
lived on a portion of the land upon
which the city OF Bluefield now
stands. She was married to Col. A.
j. May, in April, 1863.
Mrs. May was universally loved by
ell who knew her. Her quiet, un-
assuming and deep piety, and her
unbounded kindness and sympathy
with every form OF human suffering
impressed all who knew her, or with
whom she came in contact. She was
every body's friend and nobody's
enemy, and IN her death the com
munity mourns the loss OF one of its
brightest jewels. She had been I
worthy member of the Methods
church since her fifteenth year, ant
came TO her last day like as shocl
OF corn cometh in in it's season.
About her last words were spray TO
} others, it is oil right with me- Th
survivors have the deepest sympath
of the -entire community in thei
great bereavement.

TERRIBLE WRECK
Two Men Killed--0pen
Switch the Cause.

On yesterday morning about
O'Clock, a disastrous freight wreck
occurred at Pisgah, three miles
West of Tazewell. i'm which two men
a fireman and an engineer, were
instantly killed.
Freight train No. SO, west bound
a double header, ran into an open
switch at Pisgah, and ran out at
the west end of the switch, wreck
ing both engines aud a number of
cars.
From the most reliable informa>
ticn obtainable, the switch was left
open by some passing train, though
1t was stated by a railroad employe
that it was possible to have moved
the switch over when it was locked.
The heavy train was running bout
80 miles an hour, and the switch
being a short one, the train crash
ed into the bank at che other end.
The engineer on the first engin was
unhurt, tue engineer on the second
engin, whose name was Cohn, was
instantly killed. The fireman, w.
B. Davidson, of the first engin was
literally torn to pieces, his heart
and lungs, it ls said, were lying
outside, on his chest. The other
train men jumped and escaped.
The conductor, Capt. Mays, who, q
weak ago, was married to Miss
Belle McClintock, of our town, was
quite badly bruised about the head
and face. w. b. Davidson, who
was killed, was anephew of our DR..
Crockett. The remains of the men
we've taken to Biueheld. The wrt ok
was cleared at once, and little or no
delay was caused. This is only
one of number of serious accidents
which have recently occurred on
the O. V. Division.
LATER-The impression which
prevailed at first, that the switch
was left open by some tram men
seems to be erroneous. 1t is now
considered almost certain that the
switch was opened purposely and
maliciously. Detectives are WORKING
on the case.

questions of great and vital import
ance TO each and all the citizens of
this Commonwealth will come up for

that drafts and enacts the organic
law OF state is the most import ant
oiail law making bodies because IL is
supreme within the State and should
be limited only by the constitution of
the United States and by the inter

Whereas we recognize that such body

slider only the best interest of the
Commonwealth at large and not the
advancement or interest of any
political party; men in whose integ-
