TROOPS CALLED TO ARMS.
Details of the Attack Made Upon
Fort Wright Last Night.

New London, Conn, Sept 4, Flsher 5
Island.-At 1905 o'clock tonight gem
eral alarm rang out over Fort Wright
and all the troops were called to arms.
A searchlight discovered the cruiser
Brooklyn speeding 10 the westward
toward the Race.
At first il was supposed that the
cruiser was on her way TO New YORK
for repairs. but she came so close TO
the island that warning shot was
fired. and, to the surprise of the Of
ficers. she replied vigorously. This ac-
ton leads TO the belief that the re-
ported accident 10 the Brooklyn has
been exaggerated by the naval OFF,
Gals for the purpose of throwing the
defenders OF the fort off their guard.
Battleship Steamed In.
The firing had been on but few mo-
ments when the Olympia was sighted
closely following the Brooklyn, and she.
too, opened up with every available gun
on the forts. After these two vessels
passed through the Race three battle
ships were picked up by the search
lights and fears that landing would
be made caused the officers 10 send the
second relief with a Calling gun down
To the dock, the only safe place where
a landing could be made. The battle
ships were soon recognized as the
Kearsarge, Massachusetts and Ala
bama, and they were proceeding toward
the Race in the order named. As they
passed the forts they opened fire. EV-
cry gun at Fort Wright was now blaZ-
ing away, and Forts Terry and Niche
were also making a valiant attempt to
put the ships out of business. The
range was about 1000 yards
Enveloped in Smoke.
The dense smoke. both from the guns
of the battleships and forts, now en-
Yeloped the former. The ships soon
took advantage of this and scudded
away through the Race.
At 1I:l5 the ten-inch emplacement
announced that the ships had anchored
five miles off the island to the west
ward. The second relief was hurriedly
recalled five minutes later.
II is the belief here that the maneu-
vers of the ave ships was for the
purpose of keeping the attention of the
| defenders TO the west end of the island
while an attempt will be made to land
a party on the east end. II is conf
| IDENTIFY expected that an attempt will
| be made tonight. and every precaution
| has been taken TO repel the invaders
The ships were under an incessant fire
! for one hour and five minutes.
The Olympia turned her searchlights
I on the range finders station and for
some time made it impossible for the
men stationed there to use their tele-
/ scopes.

BotetOurt's Canning Industry,

Fincastle Herald.
One of the largest and most impor-
tant enterprises to which the far
mers of Botetourt have turned their
attention is that of canning toma-
toes and other fruits. 1t has only
been few years since the industry
was introduced by the late John
G. Moomaw. Beginning on small
scale, and finding an active and
constantly growing demand for
his goods, he was soon compelled
TO enlarge his factory, and at the
same time increase his facilities
for raising and packing, until it
became evident that the supply was
not keeping pace with the demand,
and thus an inviting field of in
dustry was thrown open for others
who were willing to enter. Soon
other establishments commenced
to spring up, increasing with each
succeeding year, until to-day the
county is dotted over with more
than one hundred factories, which
pack between twenty-five hundred
and three thousand cases, on an
average, each making in all over
$50, 600 cases, or eleven and half
million of cans.
In addition to the one hundred
regular canneries doing large
business, there are between twenty
and thirty others of smaller
capacity, which will pack from
one hundred to five hundred cases,
to be consumed chiefly at home.
The peach, apple and other small
fruit crops have been almost a
total failure in the county, and the
canning in that line will only
to few thousand cases.
On account Of the drOuth, which
has been prevailing for several
weeks, the yield of tomatoes will
not be as large as was expected.
But up to the present time the
size and quality has been good, and
The factories have been utilizing
I'll the time possible, and working
, full force of hands, allowing no
waste by spelling.
There is large demand for
,hese goods from different sections
# the Union, with u considerable
advance in prices over last season.
Owing to the effect of the severe
lrouth, the canning of corn has
'een seriously interfered with this
easOn.
