Cattle Barn Burned.

On last Monday afternoon at o'clock a
valuable cattle barn the property of Hon.
w. g. Mustard was destroyed. 1t was
what was known as the "old church barn"
situated just west of his residence near
Witten's Mills. The barn was a large one
and had capacity for housing from forty
to sixty big cattle and large amount Of
provender.
For several days a shredding machine
had been in operation at the barn shred
ding fodder that was being stored away
for feeding this winter. The job would
have been completed in five minutes when
the flames broke out, and in few mo-
ments, Oh account of the large amount of
combustible matter, the whole building
was Mlapred in flames. OF course it was
impossible to save anything, and the loss
is a total one, as Mr.. Mustard had no in
surance on the building or its contents.
The fire originated from spark thrown
from the engine that was running the
shredder. 1t shows that it is very danger
GUS to have engines about barns, even
when the engines are equipped with the

town has no fire department. The fire
originated in livery stable, and stiff
wind that was blowing caused the flames
to sweep on, destroying everything in
their path for two squares. The inhabi-
tants could do nothing but stand by and
see their property go up in smoke.

Leading Provisions of the Measure lntre-
duced by Senator Frye.


Washington Dec. Ex-senator Frye to-
day introduced the new ship subsidy bill.
1t differs in form from the subsidy bill of
the past two sessions. 1t is divided into
four titles and fifteen sections.
The sections under the title ocean
Mail Steamships" are devoted to amend
ments to the ocean mail act of 1891. The
Postmaster General is required to consid-
er the national defense and the maritime
interests of the United States, as well as
postal interests, in providing for the trans
portation of American ocean mails. The
present limit of ocean mail contracts, ten
years, is increased to fifteen years.
The Frye bill provides seven distinct
classes with rate of Sc to 20-knot steam
ers, increasing from 5000, to 10000 tons
the minimum size; So for 16-knot steam.
ers provided the size is increased from
s, 900 tons, the present minimum to 5000
tons.
The proposed maximum mail rates per
gross ton per hundred nautical miles are;
Over 10000 tons-20 knots, 2.7 cents;
10 knots, 2.5 cents.
Over 1000 tons-1S knots, 2.3 cents; II

knots, IL cents.
Over 1000 tons-14 knots, 1.5 cents.
Rates for mail steamers to the West In-
dies, Central America and Mexico cannot
exceed seventy per cent. of the maximum
rates.
The second title General Subsidy" con-
tains the general subsidy for all vessels,
steam or sail, which are not under mail
contracts. This general subsidy is uni
form. one cent per gross ton per 100 nauti-
cal miles for not exceeding sixteen entries
in one year.
To promote the building of new ocean
vessels, an additional allowance of one
fourth of a cent per gross ton is made for
five years.
Any vessel to receive the general subsi'
dy must carry mails, if required, and must
train in seamanship or engineering one
American youth for each 1000 tons, the
vessel to be set at the service of the gov
ernment, if required for defense.
Any vessel to receive subsidy must be
class Al, and at least one.fourth of the
crew must he Americans.
The bill provides all annual bounty of
81 ton for deep sea fishing vessels, and
of 81 month for American citizens when
engaged in deep sea fisheries, that a vessel
shall receive but one form of subsidy, and
that a vessel which has received a subsidy
shall not be sold to foreigner except by
consent of the Secretary of the Treasury.
The bill does not provide American reg
istry for foreign ships owned by Ameri'
cans.

JOHN GEORGE WATTS.
Sketch Of the Life of Prominent Taze-
we'll County Man.

The editor of this paper was absent
when the painful tragedy in which John
q. Watts lost his life was enacted; and we
did not return home until after the publ
cation of the "Republican" last week.
This accounts for the brief mention that
was made of the affair, and the short no.
tce OF the life of the deceased,
We had known John Watts for The past
forty years, most of the time very inti-
mately. Our associations began when we
were boys, and for years there mas an in
tinacy both pleasant and cordial. When
the shocking intelligence came to us at
Wythevile that Mr.. Watts had been
killed we were deeply panied, and when
the circumstances of the tragedy were
brought to our knowledge the pain was
greatly intensified. We consider it one of
the most deplorable things that has ever
happened in Tazewell county, not only on
account Of the death of the deceased, but
because of the trouble it has brought to
the men who were his slayers, men who
have heretofore been respected citizens of
the same community.
John George Watts was ffty.three
years old at the time of his death. He
was the son of Judge Sterling F. Watts,
and his mother was the daughter of Colo
mel John George, who some years before
the Civil War was the most prominent
and popular citizen of Tazewell county.
The deceased was twice married. His
first wife was Miss Hattie Bowen, daugh-
ter OF Gen. Rees I. Bowen, to whom he was
married in 1874. His only child, Bowen
Watts, is son by bis first wife. His sec
ond wife was Mrs. Florine Smith, to whom
he was married in 1898, and who survives
him.
About the time he attained his majority
lie obtained license to practice law, and
soon after he cail 20 the bar he was elect
ed Commonwealth Attorney for Tazewell
He served several terms in that
position, and was holding 1t when he was
appointed U. S. Marshal for the Western
District Of Virginia in 1882.
Mr.. Watts was twice appointed Mar
shal for this district; first by President
Arthur in 1882, and the second time by
President Harrison, in 1889. For many
years he was conspicuous figure 10 the
politics of Tazewell county and Southwest
Virginia, but for the past four or hive years
he had given but little attention to poll
.ics. He is survived by his venerable
rather, Judge Sterling F. Watts; his son,
Bowen Watts; one brother, S. f. Watts,
ESQ.,, of Wythe county, and one sister,
Mrs. Andrew Porter, of Wythe county.
The deceased was not without his faults,
1ut he was man of many generous inn
,ulses, and during his life made hosts of
rierds, many of whom were deeply at
ached to him to the day of his death, and
who will continue to hold him in grateful

DEATH OF JUDGE HUGHES.
Distinguished Jurist Passes Away at His
Country Home.

Bristol, Tenn, Dec. 1O.-Judge Robert
w. Hughes died today at his country
home near Abingdon, Va. He was re-
tired Federal judge of the Eastern District
of Virginia, having served with ability
from 1874, the time of bis appointment by
President Grant, until 1898, when he re-
tired on full pay.
Judge Hughes was formerly Federal
district attorney and prior to and immedi.
ately following the Civil War, was promi-
nent as an editor in Richmond. During
his newspaper career, he issued two chal-
lenges for duels with offending editors.
One of these issued to ex Governor Cam
eron, of Petersburg, was accepted, and in
the pistol conflict W hich followed the lat
ter was badly wounded. On one occasion
Judge Hughes came to Bristol to act as
second in duel between other parties.
Judge Hughes was one of the most
prominent men in the State. Besides his
conspicuous carer on the bench, he was
one Of the boldest writers and one Of the
strongest newspaper men Virginlnia has
ever produced. He, with the late John
NJ. Daniel, edited the Richmond Exami-
ner for a number Of years. He also edited
the Presidents organ during Buchanan's
administration, and since the war the
State Journal.

best spark.arresters. In one respect, no
doubt, the fire was fortunate for Mr..
Mustard as it occurred. 1t was his pur-
puse to put the machine to work at his
large and valuable barn just northeast of
his house the next day. II the fire had
occurred at that barn it would have caused
a loss of ten thousand dollars by the de-
struction of other buildings, machinery,
grain and forage.

Transports VIII Come.

The statement that the army trans
ports were TO cut out the port of Ho-
nolulu on their way. from San Fran
cisco made in an afternoon paper is
not considered reliable in the light of
the preparations that have been made
here for the reception of the vessels.
AT the present time there are on hand
here in the neighborhood of ten thou
sand tons of coal and on the way,
over twenty thousand tons for the
use of the transports. This makes it
appear that the vessels will continue
to come. In addition to this the fact
that Major Robinson has received in
formation that for the immediate fu-
ture il was probable that vessels cap
able of making the trip would be sent
right through TO Nagasaki would lead
to the belief that when the rush Is
over the vessels viii continue TO call
as usual twice q month after June.
