alt is true" said the proprietor
of one hotel to night, "that We were
obliged TO refuse MIR. Washington
a room last evening just as we
were obliged to Iefuse 80 or 10
others. The refusal was not based
on Mr.. Washington's color, but was
made necessary by tue Overcrow ded
condition of the hotel"
''If AIR. Washington was turned
away it was because the Lo;el was
crowded." said the night clerk Of
another hotel,

FIRE IN GRAHAM.
Obstructive Fire Yester-
day Morning.

About 3 o'clock on yesterday
morning fire broke out in the res
tanrant and grocery store occupied
by Dick She'll, colored man, and
destroyed quite number of hous-
es In the vicinity. Besides Shells
which Was entirely consumed the
barber shop, occupied by Hoyt
Warren, the store house and hotel
OF Fulton Frazier, the residence OF
q. b. Bailey and drug store OF Graf
Crockett, were burned to theground.
Most of the goods aud household
effects were saved except those of
Dick Shell. A young man, o car
penteI, boarding in the building
occupied by Shell, was burned to
death.
The fire broke out in the store
house OF Shell, just how no one
seemed to know, and as Graham is
without water supply, the flames
ragged, unchecked despite heroic
Efforts on the part of the citizens
OF the town. The property loss IL
about $4,000, pretty well covered
by insurance. Graham will now
no doubt make an effort to get q
good water supply, which they
have vainly tried to do tor several
years. This recent fire may change
the opinion of several of the good
people Of the community.

THE VOTE
CANvASSED.
Ballots Cast for Governor
and lieutenant-Gov

Richmond, Va December.-Both
branches of the General Assembly
met at $3.50 o'clock this afternoon
and were in session for some time,
the most tedious business of the
alters Don being the canvassing Of
the vote cast for Governor and
Lieutenant Governor in the recent
ell, ction.
There has beeu much interest
manifested in these figuers, as the
charge has been made that Mr..
Montague ran behind his ticket.
The following Agures, which were
disclosed, do not bear out this ru-
NOR:
Montague ........... .ll6,0S2
wizard. ......,..,..... 81 500
DICKINSON. ,,............. 13. .S32
Ii will thus be seen that Mr..
Montague's vote WAS 88l greater
than Mr.. Wizards, and he led
Hoge by 35,316.
The vote of Major Anderson for
Attorney General WAS considerab IL
less than that of his colleagues. 1t
was ~. 1886, aud that Of Mr.. GrOner
7l,027.
These tiguers have uccasioned
some surprise, as there was no
idea that there would be as great
a discrepancy between the variOu us
candidates on the same ticket.

Barn Burned

Capt. w. g. Mustard'c fine fodder
bart was burned to the ground last
Monday afternoon, including a large
amount Of fodder. Capt. Mustard's
loss is a serious one, particularly at
this time Of the year.
The Ere originated from a corn
shredder, which was at work at the
barn at the timo, The shredder was
supposed 10 be thoroughly safe, as
the smoke stack Was protected by q
spark arrester. Never theless, q
spark escaped, iguiting the large
amount of fodder and il burned like
powder.
The barn was 34 40 feet with O
15 foot shed around three sides.
After all, as Capt. Mustard says, ev
erything happens for the best. lie
was preparing to move the machine
to his large barn--the finest in the
country-which is near other build.
iIgs, and had this accident beer
postpened until the move was made
his entire premises, including hi'
fine residence would have been con
sumed.
The question arises: Who should
be loser in cades of this sort3 If
machine is guaranteed safe then il
should be a clear case.

Bluefield, W. Va, Decem Der g.
The somewhat sudden death in
this city yesterday morning Of
Hattie Showers, and the various
rumors that were circulated regard
ing the manner Of her death, were
the cause to-day Of an investiga-
tlon by a Coroner's jury Of the
circumstance that led to the young
women's demise.
Notwithstanding the fsct that
there was considerable unintell>
igIbIe testimony adduced, the jury
rendered q verdict to the effect
that she came to her death from
natural causes.
AS matter of fact, the jury
might have found half dozen diff

time been rs near the exact cause
of the girls death as they were In
the conclusion they arrived at. In
all probability the girl committed
suicide.
