The People Assemble in MaSS-MeetnS
and Discuss the Vital Question.
BILL PREPARED BY A COMMITTEE.
1t is Accepted by mass-Meeting, Except In
One Particular, and Will Be Gotten
Through the Legislature If That
Body Remains in Session
Long Enough.

Pursuant to the call published by A..
St. Clair, chairman, quite large mass
meeting of the citizens Of Tazewell county
assembled in the courthouse en- last Tues
dav. Hon. A. st. Clair was made chair
man of the meeting and VIM. G. Pendle
ton, secretary.
The committee which had been APP
pointed by the meeting held on Wednes-
day, the 18th inst, to prepare oil to De
introduced in the Legislature, for the I'M
proyement of the county roads, was re
ported by A. S. Higginbotham, chairman
of the committee. The bill had been care
fully drawn by Mr.. HigginbOtham, by the
expenditure of much time and labor, and
had been carefully revised under the su-
pervision of the committee, which con-
sisted of Meesrs. A. S. Higginbotham, E.
b. Scott, A. st. Clair E. King Crockett
and Jos. S. Gillespie. From men so prac-
tical, thoroughly equipped and well ac'
uuainted with the needs of Tazewell coun-
ty, a good measure was expected; and in
this respect the one suggested was not a
disappointment. That it was good one,
was demonstrated by the fact that 1t was
amended by the meeting in only one par
ticular.
After Mr.. Hlgginbotham read the bill
to the meeting, objections were raised to
several of It's provisions, but they were not
deemed of sufficient force to change any
ahing by amendment, except one feature.
This was as 10 whether the question OF
issuing bonds should be submitted to the
people before bonds should be issued.
Col. ]. S. Browning offered an amendment
that the bill should provide for submitting
the question of issuing bonds to the peo'
pie at a special election to be held next
May. After considerable discussion Of the
amendment by Col. Browning, Capt.
Tynes, Messrs. Werth, NJ. L. Peery and
J. T. Buchanan, the amendment was
adopted. Then the report Of the com
mittee as amended was adopted.

Tremendous Power of Lyddite.

LONDON, March 15.-The extraordinary
effect of lyddite has been shown by the
statement that during the recent expert
ments with the hulk of the old battleship,
Belle Isle, shells containing that explosive
refracted fragments upon the attacking
vessels, which were 800 yards distant
Other fragments dropped close to a boat
situated 1000 yards abeam of the line Of
fire. The deduction is drawn that when
lyddite is used there is danger for adriend'
" vessel at least 1000 yards away.
The Outlook compares lyddite with a
boomerang, and pointsI out that to be
of any service, it must be dropped right Oh
board a hostile vessel, as "if the prolectlle
does not hit the right place, it will fly
back and slay Toe slayer"

WASHINGTON, March l5.-The position
of Commissioner General of Immigration
has been rendered by the President to f.
P. Sargent, chief of tie Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Firemen, to succeed L. "
Powderly, the present Incumbent. 1t IS
understood that the reason for the Pre'l-
dents action in desiring TO relieve Mr..
Powderly is because he has not worked IN
harmony with the higher officials OF the
Treasury Department, which has resulted
in more or less friction. 1t also las been
determined to relieve Thomas Fitchle,

tant, f. F. McSweeney. The Ct ane's, 1t

TONIGHT's BIG MEET.
Everything in Readiness for the Start
er's Pistol.

Convention Hail. on the corner Of 5th and
X streets northwest. will tonight present
probably the greatest scene Of activity that
has ever taken place in the old hall. A
large number of the athletes that will par
ticipate in tonight's indoor athletic meet of
Georgetown University have already made
their appearance, and many Of them have
taken runs on the track at the hall, which
through the efforts of the small army of
men who have been at work on 1t for the
last week, Is now in pretty good shape, the
corners being In place and the alleys and
distances chalked and ready for the start

entry list is exceedingly large, the people
who intend to see this event of the year in
local athletic circles should be in their
places as near that time as possible, as 1t
is the intention Of the management to have
everything over at 1880.
The storm may delay some Of the men
entered. but it Is known that all have
started. Cornell sends q great relay team
and the event in which she meets the strong
and sturdy runners from Notre Dame, In
diana. should prove one OF the star fea-
lures Of the meet. The star Of the Cornell
team will be Sears one of the best all
around athletes the country has seen. hold
ing the record for the 100 and 22O yards.
Should he run against Duffey this evening
the race should be one that Is worth going
miles to see, for Sears is a tall, well-built
built youngster. The race will not be for
these two alone, for Herbert Of Notre
Dame expects to be in the running, and
with Charley Young. an old Washington
boy, now at Cornell, a record should be
broken for this distance. Duneys leg is

The members Of the high schools are on
the qui vive and have everything ready for
tonight. The girls Of the different schools
have provided themselves with ribbons. and
colors Of the various schools will wave

Dick Dear. who will once more run for
the Central team in the dashes and sprints,
will not disappoint his large following and
will in the handicap give some of the out
of-town men who do not know him a chance
to look out for themselves for he is run
ming in fine shape. and Is fully alive to the
possibilities that are opened up for him in
the handicap. as he has a very good handi-
cap. Technical High School is feared. per-
haps. most Of all by the relay teams from
the other high schools, for it's members are
not saying much. but are going about their
training with quietness and determinat ton
that Is rather Hsheartening to the other
high schools. for they feel that Technical

way they consider they were treated in the

INDOOR TENNIS TOURNEY.
Poor Light Causes Postponement Of
Games.

The indoor championship lawn tennis
tournament was continued at the 7th Regi-
ment Armory. New York, again yesterday
afternoon under most unfavorable condi-
tions. The storm made the light SO weak
and gray in the armory that 1t was very
difficult for the players to see the balls and
the quality Of the play suffered proper
tionately. Wylie Grant earned his place In
the finals, as expected. by beating Mahan
In straight sets, but In the other half there
was another surprise.
Paret was expected to beat Arthur Cragin
without much difficulty and at first 1t SEEM
ed as II he would certainly fnlfu all pre-
dictions. The veteran took the first set by
Ga, and In the second held an easy lead
up to 6-3, and In the ninth game had the
score at 40-love and three times at van
tage, only to finally lose the game and set
by 81, after being SIX times within q
single stroke of winning the match. The
third set was started. but after Cragin had
earned q lead OF 81, the players could see
no longer, and the last set was postponed
until this morning.
Only two matches were played In ths
doubles. The scores:

Newport News players arrived on the early
morning boat from Norfolk. and brought
only five match players. being disappointed
in getting the services OF three Of their
men on whom they had depended.
The match is due to the initiative Of the
Newport News people. and shows a COM

The T. NJ C. A. bowling team paid

eral bad splits fell to the lot Of the as

game and could have gDne either way. In

Question of Grounds.

Those persons who think the American
League cannot get grounds in this city out
side of Manhattan field or the polo grounds
are badly mistaken. President Johnson
knows of plots that can be obtained at any
time, and they are more conveniently To-
Gated than either of the grounds controlled
by Mr.. Freedman. You can rest assured
the question of getting grounds will not
keep us out of New York. You can also
say that the proposition to bring the Balti-
more club here has never been considered.
Il see that Mr.. Ebbetts of Brooklyn Is
worried about the heavy obligations the
American League Is supposed, by him, to
be laboring under. You can take 1t from
me, the American League has good sink
ing fund and does not owe a dollar. Mr..
Ebbetts could put in his time more profita-
bly, In looking after the finances Of the
shattered National League. and let the
American work out it's own salvation.
Everybody in Baltimore is sorry we did
not get Willie Keeler. We offered him a
two years contract at $4,000 per year. but
he preferred to give Brooklyn the first
chance"
