Shot by a Woman.

Pocahontas, Va. Nov. IA fright
ful tragedy occurred here to-day about
10 o'clock. Tick Turner, young man
about 20 years old, was shot by Rose
Dean, woman Of illrepute, with whom
he had been living for some time. The
shooting took place in the house occu-
pied by the woman, and n number OF
others, on Stellar Street. The ball, a
32-caliber, entered just over the left
eye, and lodged against the back Of the
skull DR.. narst was called at once,
bat could do nothing TO relieve the un-
fortunate young man.
The woman was arrested and locked
up 20 await the result of the wound.
The unfortunate victim OF bad
womans jealousy, was the son OF JOS.
Turner, an engineer OF the N. 81 W.,
living in Blue6eld. They are said TO
be good people. Young Turner has
been in and around town for sometime,
aud seems to have been infatuated with
the woman. No one saw the shooting,
and the woman claims she shot Turner
in self defence, with his own pistol, with
which he was trying TO shoot her, when
she snatched it from him, and fired.
She claims that Turner tried TO shoot
her last night. They have had num-
ber OF brackets" lately. The Dean
woman came from Bluefield. She has
been repeatedly before the police court.
At this writing. 4 p. m. Turner Is still
alive, there being no change, pcroepti-
bly,, in his condition.

RHEATO SPURN
ACERTIFICATE
lfGWen Him on Exclusion
of Certain Precincts

Bristol, Tenn, Nov. 10.-In view
of the legal questions that have aris-
en- with reference to the result of the
election in the Ninth congressional
district of Virginia, Congressman
William F. Rhea has issued the fol-
lowing statement, which defines his
position:
II have not been in position un-
til now to make any detailed state
ment as to the result of the recent
election. nor am now able but par
tally TO do so. The only definite in
formation 1 haye received as to the
'ounds upon which any returns
have been rejected has been as to
the precincts of Austnvile and
Pattison, in Wythe county, and
MENDOZA, in Washington county.
"While l am sure that the board
of commissioners in each of said
counties were perfectly honest and
conscientious in their beliet that
said returns should be rejected oe-
cause Of legal technIcalities and that
they had no legal right to count said
votes, yet believe that the votes at
the two precincts of Pattson and
Mendoza properly belong 10 my OPP
ponent, and would probably elect
him and entitle him 10 the certificate,
thus believing, if certificate of
election were ISSUED TO me by the
state board of canvassers, based up
on the exclusion of the precincts
mentioned, / would decline to accept
it.n

sIemp's Election Conceded

Since the last issue Of tho News, po-
litical history has been made, and des-
troyed. Afew hours after the News was
printed and mailed news reached town
to the effect that Rhea was elected by
n small majority. He would have been
elected II the law was strictly complied
with TO the letter, although Slemp re-
ceived the majority Of votes cast. The
precincts In wythe, Washington and
Tazewell counties which were reported
TO have been thrown out and which
gave large Republican majorities have
been given to Slemp and the Demo-
Gratis concede his election by small
majority.
Judge Rhea does not In any way i'm
pugn the integrity OF the board OF cam
vassers, believing that they acted as
they understood the law. It is satisfi-
ed that the two precincts complained OF
which were thrown out, belong to Col
oneI Slemp, and he asks that they be
counted as they were cast.
This action os Judge Rhea will pre-
clude the necessity for n contest in that
district, which has been the scene OF
contest for several years past, General
Walker being defeated and contestIng
the election at each session OF Con
gress.
Senator Bruce in an interview in
Richmond said that he was satisfied
that as soon as Judge Rhea OF the
Ninth District, became cognizant of all
the facts in the recent electIon-showin0
that his opponent was defeated by tech
nicalities-that he would do exactly
what he was reported to have done in
the Dispatch this morning, decline to
accept a certificate OF election.
"The people Of that district" said
Senator Bruce, "are devoted to Judge
Rhea. He made the fight against Gen
eral Walker when no one would accept
the nomination, and while he Is oppos-
ed by a small faction of the party, he
is popular"
Senator Bruce believes that Judge
Rhea will be the nominee next time,
and that he will be elected over SIemp.
who will go to Congress next March.

q. w. Doak, Esq, Member Of Board
Of Commissioners OF Election, Tazewell
County, Virginia;
Dear Sir. Your favor OF the 9th
instant did not reach Richmond until
10 o'clock last night according 10 the
stamp upon the envclop, and ] did not
receive it until after . O'clock this morn
ing, aud "A few minutes afterwards was
handed your Telegram Of this date.
have just answered your inquiry,
by wire, as satisfactory as ] could, as
follows:
Duties OF your board merely 20 as
certain result from face of legal returns
IL has no judicial authority or power 20
suppress the vote OF precinct by throw
ing II out, If returns are In legal from
or can be put out in legal form by cor
rccting Irregularities as plainly required
by section l24 Of Code. See decision
Virginia Supream Court, ninety-frst
Virginia, pagc 6s5."
Confirming shat telegram, i beg leave
10 add that your board has no power
TO go behind the returns. Your duties
and functions are limited TO canvassing
the returns, ascertaining (Which is n
mere matter OF addition) how many
votes were cast at each precinct for
each candidate according 20 those re-
turns, and certifying this result, as
required by law.
You have no power to go behind the
returns. You can see very well that,
II commissioners OF election had any
such authority, 1t would be in their
power, i'm almost every case OF con
tested election, TO determine the
result according 20 their views.
OF course, the returns which they
can consider must be in legal form, but
the law (SectiCn 134 Of the Code) pro-
vides amply for this and plainly makes
it the duty Of your board to have the
returns put in legal form by the cor
rection of any irregularities.
Your board has no power whatever
TO ascertain whether the votes received
by the judges OF election were cast by
legal voters, or whether the election
was properly conducted by the judges
OF election.
If the judges Of election have wilful.
ly and corruptly violated the law In the
conduct Of the election, their action
cannot be reviewed by your board
though they may make themselves
liable to a criminal prosecution.
Very truly yours,
William A. Anderson.

Washington. Feb 2S.--The prece-

yesterday in the memorial services to
the late President Mckinley. The
hall of the house was without deco
ration of any character. The red
coated band, 60 strong. was stationed
in the corridor which separates the
rear lobby of the house. At 10
O'Clock the doors were opened and
in five minutes the galleries We're
dense with people, Even the aisles
were filed, but the crowding and
jamming which have married so many
state occasions was avoided, as the
tickets issued were limited strictly
to the number of seats provided.
Only one was given to each senator
and representative and the gathering
in the galleries. was a distinguished
one. The fact that few of the ladies
wore bright gowns was especially
noticeable They had attired them
selves in dark costumes betting the
occasion
