GOVERNOR MASSlNG MILITARY.
Ordered Seven Companies to Lynchburg Last
Night-No trouble Feared.

Governor Montague gives the negro
Higglnbotham an escort Of seven milf
tary companies. He has made up his
mind that he will not have any 1yncnings
during his administration, if he can pre-
vent them, at any cost The following
companies We're yesterday given orders
by the Acknowledgement to move to
Lynchburg last night: Two from Staun-
ton, one from Charlottesville, one from
Danville, one from Pulaski, enc from
Roanoke The Lynchburg company was
also ordered out.
The Stanton companies came down to
Charlottesville last night by the Chesa-
peake and Ohio ana, there being joined
by the Charlottesville company went
over to Lynchburg via the Southern.
The Southern also brought the company
from Danville. The Norfolk and West
ern will bring down the Pulaski and
Roanoke companies. These viii come on
the same tram with the negro.
These companies will all conc on the
regular trains, if that is possible, and
they can thus be gotten into Lynchburg
before or at the time tie negro gets
there; but they are going TO be mere on
time, even if specials are to ue used.
The prevailing feeling in otticial cir
cles here is that there will be no trou-
Bile, but it is t! ought to be wise to guard
against the possibility of such thing.
The Governor was in communication
with Mayor Smith up TO a late hour last
night. Tho Lynchburg official assured
him that the city was quiet and no trou-
Bile was feared.
The Governor had conference with
Adjutant Male yesterday. and the de-
tailed plans for the mobilization Of the
troops at Lynchburs were mae.

The need of the family OF Alrs. w. r.
Campbell, of No. 2222 East Main Street,
has been greatly relieved by the prompt
response of individuals and the repre-
sentatives OF charitable organizations

some days ago.
Mrs. Campbell was deserted by her
husband about four weeks ago, and left
with four small children, besides her III
father and mother to care for. me
family's condition became desperate; their
food was exhausted, and the house rent
was due. To pay the rent the mother
was compelled to sell her measre sup
ply OF coal and forced to abandon the
rooms she occupied and take the family
of six persons, besides herself, into one
bare ROOM on the third floor of the
dilapidated tenement.
Last night when a Times reporter en-
tered the dimly lighted room it was found
warm and comfortable. Mrs. Campbell
said several ladies had brought them
food and clothing during the last few
days These ladies represented. she SAID.

smaller churches Of the city, in which an
appeal made Oh Sunday last in their be-

FALSE ALARM TURNED in.
Driver Runs Against the Box at Locomotive
Works

a good deal of innocent excitement
occurred at the Locomotive Works yes
terday afternoon.
The cause was reasonable enough-the
alarm of fire. Eut there was no fire and
what set the bell TO ringing. calling OUT
more than a thousand men, is the in
terestirg and curious part.
About S:15 o'clock the fire bells of the
plant began to ring violently. The men
dropped their hammers. left their ma
chimes, and III the Offices the desks and
papers We're. for the moment, forgotten.
II, rushed to the hose and to see where
The lire was. But no fire was to be found
and no one knew who turned in the
alarm. The men had in few moments
nearly all gotten out of doors and looked
like an army. which. whether equipped
with guns or sledge hammers. would give
good account of itself under any CIR
cuinstances.
And then the cause of the disturbances
was learned. a driver had run his ve-
hicte against the alarm box. and set It
off in just as real Il fashion az if frs.

once.
