ton on the ground that MIR. Sharp bad
presided over mass-meeting which was
held in front of the executive mansion IN
Frankfort, in 1899, while the Goebel-Tay-
lor controversy was at its height, land few
days before Goebel was assassinated'
Senator Blackburn characterized this meet
ing as an armed mob and said that 1t was
composed ofabout l,4OO men, who had
been brought from all parts of the State
for the purpose of .intimidating Goebel and
his followers. He characterized the crowd
as mob and said that no man who would
consent to act as its leader should be sp'
pointed to an Office.
Mr.. Deboe retorted that of the entire
number of people gathered, very small
percentage, about 300, we're armed. These
were, he said, from the mountain districts
of the State, and as men there habitually
carried arms no significance could be at
tached to the fact that they appeared at
this meeting armed, The meeting was, in
deed, he said, quite as respectable as
many over which Mr.. Blackburn had
presided and had been held for the pur-
pose of demanding fair play.
A vote was taken upon the roll call to
confirm and vote of S3 to II in favor OF
confirmation.

Marriages In TazewelI County.

During the year 1901 the clerk OF the
county court of Tazewell county issued
$40 marriage licenses, of which number
26l we're for white persons and 49 were
for colored persons This was 81 more
licenses than were issued in 1900, that
year the number being larger than for any
preceding year. The activity of the mat
rimonial market is q sure index to the
prosperity of a country, and according tC
that rule Tazewell county was unusually
prosperous last year.
OF the $40 licenses issued In the yeal
1901 there were 800 used Or executed. Th'
remaining license was returned by tn
minister who was to have oficiated, viii
the following return thereon: "No property
found" The fact is, the parties named il
the license failed to appear or declined
to use it, which neCessitated its return t
the clerk.

floor of the cotton exchange this morning
for more than an hour. He was accom-
panied by General w, w. Gordon, mem
ber of the exchange, who introduced him
to the other members present. There was
no set program. The admiral was in ex'
cellent health and spirits and swapped
jokes with the best story tellers on the

the delectation of his hosts. Business was
virtually suspended until he had bowed
good bye and departed amid storm of
applause and hand clapping.

Captivity of Miss Stone.

Duluth, Mimi, January l3.-Perley A.
Stone. of Boston, brother of Ellen M'
Stone, the American missionary held for
ransom by Bulgarian brigands, was in the
city last night, and of his sisters predica'
ment said:
"My sisters capture is not the result Of
brigandage, but of carefully laid plot
conceived months before by some of the
principal actors in the political drama nov
being played behind the scenes in Bulga
ria and Macedonia.
"Her capture was not because she was
missionary, bsiE because she was an Amer
lean scitizen. Had sic been the subjec
of ony other great nation it would no
have happened. Her rescue or abandon
ment will determine for many years u
come the standing of Americans in tn
Orient"

400 MILES AN HOUR
Inventor Says His Mail Car Will Travel
~ That pafo
at That Rate.

Norfolk, Va, Jan. 2.-Edward A. Kel
ley, of Norfolk, has invented an electric
car that he says will run 400 miles an
hour. A model Of the car was exhibited
here. The car has a shiplike bow and
wheels that reach the height of the car
body.
In the center of the rails runs long se-
ries of tapering iron plates. When the
end of the plate Is reached the current is
automatically cut of. The momentum Of
the car carries it past the point and the
current being renewed, the car resumes
its journey. The rails carry the current
and also the wheels, which are insulated
from the axles through the magnet and
hack to the rails again. Kelley says with
a 22O.volt current he can speed his car
400 miles an hour.
Cars for carrying the mails between big
cities would stand three feet high and rur
on track three feet wide. The tract
would be enclosed all the way.

HOME OF THE SOUL
Professor Lombard Proves 1t to be In the
Spine.
confirmation

Detroit, Mich, Jan. 11-Professor Lom-
bard, of Ann Arbor, instructor OF physloi-
ogv, in the University of Michigan, be-
lieves that he has located the dwelling
place of the soul in the spinal column.
He has arrived at this conclusion after
manv months of experiments with frogs.
Results of the last two days experiments
seem to demonstrate that death through
the medium of the brain does not termin-
ate the control Of the muscles. Thursday
the professor produced before his class a
live frog from which he removed the BRAIN
II was then suspended by its under jaw.
An hour later drop of acid was touched
to its foot. Instantly the frog began to
Jerk AMI twitch to get away from the
stings of the acid. Twenty-four hours
later a. tiny bit of filter paper saturated
with acid was placed against the body.
The frog kicked with both legs and dis
logded the paper. Placed upon its back
the paper was shaken off. Every time it
was placed on any part Of the body the
legs sent it flying.
Professor Lombard calls this activity
treason movements" and will continue
the experiments for the purpose of ascer'
tanning how far the reasoning instinct may
90.

1t is really sickening to see the amount
of space some of our Virginia daily papers
devote to giving details of horrible and
brutal crimes committed throughout the
country. Phis week several of the dailies

Lynchburg. These newspaper accounts
are nearly as demoraizing as the crimes
themselves; and shows that the Virginia
