WITNESSES CLOSELY GUARDED.
Two Mysterious Persons We're Before JUS
tice Wyatt YesterdaY-Want the Earl
of ROsSIyn to Give Testimony

New York, January S.-Although both
District Attorney Jerome and the Earl of
Rosslyn deny that the later was a witness
today before Justice Wyatt in the secret
"John Doe" proceedings aimed at Rich
ard Garfield, the rumor would not down.
Two mysterious witnesses were before
Justice Wyatt. They we're closely guard
ed, detectives being placed at every door
during the hearing, and when it was over
the two men being hurried to a carriage,
waiting for them on the Franklin Street
side of the Criminal Courts building.
District Attorney Jerome, in denying
the report that Earl Rosslyn was one o.
his witnesses, made an announcement
even more sensational. He declared that
fully twenty young clubmen, some OF
them millonaires, had agreed to give their
evidence and that the case against Canheld
is practically completed.
He refused to reveal the names of these
witnesses, but promised to do so later
If Mr.. Jerome has secured the appear
ance of Earl Rosslyn as a witness, he will
be a most valuable one. He has system
which, he says, could break. "The bank
at Monte Carlo" and in perfecting this
spent nearly 81 100000. A part of this,
it is said, went into Canfeld's.

Senior Sagasta Dead.

Madrid, Jan. 5.-Former Premier sa'
gasta died at IL O'Clock tonight. At half
past six he had a attack of heart failure
and it was then thought he was dead; he
rallied, however, and lived for four hours
and half. His funeral probably will take
place next Wednesday.
Senior Segasta's death was due to bron'
chitis and gastric trouble. His family was
at the death bed and former liberal men,
bers of the cabinet were near their old
leader. A bishop administered the last
sacrament this afternoon.
The news of the former premier's death
created painful impression throughout
Madrid. King Alfonso expressed profound
regret.
Senior Ssgasta's intellect was unimpaired
until his last hours. lie talked to his
daughter, the president of the senate and
congress, and to the archbishop OF Toledo.
King Alfonso has written letter OF SYM
pathy to Senior Sagastas family. During
the former premier's illness the queen
mother and other members Of the royal
family frequently sent officials to inquiie
as to his progress.

THE PRUDENTIAL FIRE INSURANCE
COMPANY.
Will Be a Successful and Useful In
StitutlOn.

The Prudential Fire Insurance Company
was incorporated Oct. 4th, 1901, with the
home office at Tazewell, Va. The follow
ing are the directors of the Company;
Isaac I. Mann, Bramwell, w. Va; Edwin
Mann, Walter. Z. Pearson and g. NJ.
McCullock. Bluefeld, w. Va; Henry G.
Stuart. Elk Garden, Va; Alexander, St.
Clair George w. ST. c lair, Maj Robert R.
Henry, Judge Samuel c. Graham and
James F. iIdrt, Tazewell, Va; and W. E.
Douglas, of New Haven, Conn.
The officers are as follows; Isaac I.
Mann, President; Henry G. Stuart, First
Vice President; Alexander st. Clair,
Second Vice-Pr esident, and Madison S.
Pendleton, Secretary.
All the stock Of the company is owned
by tie above named directors and officers
The company was capitalized at 100000
and commenced doing business on the
Goth of Nov, 1902. y statement has
been prepared showing the condition of
the company on the 3lst day of December,
1902, and it is a most favorable showing
for the institution and is a sure presage ol
its future certain success.
This tatement shows that the company IN
a little over thirty days had secured a net
surplus Of S1l, 1851 and that its surplus
as regards policy holders was Sill ,9lS.5l'
When we consider, however. the eX'
cellent business capaci ~ and experience Of
the men who own the stock and are direct
ing its affairs, we should not be astonlshed
that the Prudential has at the first stage
commended itself to the intelligent public.
The men who own the stock represent
millions in individual wealth, and the otfi-
GERS are men of extensive and successful
knowledge in banking and insurance busl'
ness.
We predict bright future for the
Prudential, and feel assured it will become
one of the most substantial and popular
insurance institutions Of the country.

runaway car and the engineer was signal
led to put out on all speed. The engine
driver opened up the throttle, but the
freight car continued to gain on the pas
senger train. Seeing collision was newt
able, the passengers from the rear car
were hurried into the front car. AT Kin

Another Trial of a Big Land Suit.

On the 18th inst. Judge II. G. Me-
Dowel will hold special term OF the US.
Circuit Court at Abingdon for another
trial Of the celebrated e.ectment suit OF
Henry G. King VS. Joshua Justus and
seventy.two other defendents, citizens OF
Buchanan county, Virginia.
The plaintiff, King, in the suit claims
500 900 acres of land embraced in a grant
made by the Commonwealth Of Virginia 70
Robert Morris, bearing date the 2Srd day
of June, 1885, 1t is claimed that the
lands embraced in the grant lie N
the three States OF Virginia, West Virginia
and Kentucky. These lands are all claim
ed and held by other, numerous parties
under junior grants.
The case was tried at Abingdon in Sept
ember, 1899, as to ]. n. Watkins, S. A. ID.
Baldwin and Eli Hurley, but not as to the
other parties named in the declaration,
and verdict was rendered for the plain
tiff. The late Judge Paul presided at
this trial and refused to set aside the ver'
dict. A writ of error was taken to the
United States Circuit Court OF Appeals,
and at its last term the judgment render
ed by Judge Paul was reversed and ne"
trial ordered. 1t is in pursuance OF the
order of the appellate court that the new
trial will begin on the 10Th inst.
Messrs. Henry and Graham represented
certain of the defendants ut tie former
trial and the plaintiffs in error in the APP
pellate court: Major Henry appearing as
the representative Of bis firm. lie pre-
pared two elaborate briefs for and made
an oral argument before the Cl"ri' Court
of Appeals, and his briefs, which @'re able
ones, had much to do with securing new
hearing of the Gaze.
1t is confidently expected that the pres
ent holders of the vast boundaries OF land
involved will ultimately win against the
old and uncertain titles which King is set'
ting up.

WILL ENFORCE BLOCKADE.
Germany and England Think 1t May
Hurry Castro.

Berlin, January 5.-Great Britain and
Germany came to an understanding four
days ago to enforce the blockade OF the
Venezuelan coast precisely as though the
negotiations for arbitration were not going
on. 1t was doubtless in consequence OF
this understanding that the vessels at
Porto Cabello we're taken.
Commodore Scheder telegraphs that the
Germans on Saturday seized fifteen large
Venezuelan sailing vessels at Porto Cabel'
10. The prizes were towed by the war
ships Stosch and Restraurador to Los
Roques, wher4 they remained under
guard. Otherwise there have been no de-
velopments at Porto Cobello.
The official view here is that the block
aiding commanders acted quite IN accor'
dance with their instructions. The allies
determination appears to be that, pending
the signature of the arbitration protocol
the blockade within the limits agreed
upon shall be sharply applied. Hence
unless the preliminaries for arbitration
are arranged Immediately, action similar
to that adopted at Porto Cabello Will
naturally be taken at other ports. by
making the blockade felt, it is claimed
President Castro's decisions will probably
be fastened.
The German cruiser Sperbe sailed today
from Kiel for Venezuela.
Caracas, January 5.-The financial panic
here has been momentarily arrested by
an agreement between the leading traders
of Caracas, Laguayra, Valencia and
Puerto Cabello, and the Bank of Vene-
zuela. The traders have agreed to accept
the bank notes in payment of all accounts
The run on the bank has ceased.
Fourteen hundred revolutionists Under
Generals Ramos and Penalosa attacked
eight hundred government troops under
the command of General Acosta Sunday
morning at a point near Guartire. After
four hours fighting the revolutonisCs aDan-
doned the field and the town of Guartire.
They had 81 men killed and many wound
ed. One of their guns was captured A
prisoner ,captured by the government
forces is authority for tile statement that
the revolutionists still lack ammunition.
The activity and energy displayed by
President Castro continues to surprise the
foreign residents Of this city. 1t is report
ed here that the leaders of the Matos
movement are treating with the govern
ment.
The answers from the powers to Presi-
dent Castro's counter proposition ID the
matter of referring the Venezuelan issues
to the Hague Tribunal have not yet been
,eceived here.

TAFT MAY BE APPOINTED
To Be Associate Justice of The United
States Supreme Court.

Washington, Jan. 5.-If existing plans
carry, sometime next month the Presl-
dent will send to the Senate the nomlna
ton of Governor Taft to be an associate
Justice of the United States Supreme Court
to succeed Justice Shiras, who is expected
to retire during that month.
Governor Taft will be succeeded ss civil
governor OF :he Philippines by General
Luke Wright, at present vice-governor'
and the latter place will be filled by the
appointment of w. w. Rockhill, the pres
ent director of the bureau of American
republics. 1t appears that Governor Iait
was offered a place on the supreme bench
on the death OF Justice Gray, but he felt
that affairs in the Philippines were in ouch
a state as to require his own personal at
tention. The President now feels the
work in the archipelago will be in shape
by February so that it may we'll be taken
over by General Wright.

MIGHTY CRUISERS.
Bids For Two of the Most Powerful
Ever DESIGNED.

Washington, Jan. Bids for the con-
struction of the two most powerful armored
cruisers ever designed for the United
States navy, were opened at the Navy De-
partment today, and within day or two
the result will probably be announced and
the contracts awarded. 1t is said that the
bidding for the construction of these two
ships has been unusually active, proposals
having been received from nearly every
concern in the country having a plant
capable of turning out a warship OF the
desired type.
The ships will not cost less than Sc, ,OOO,-
OOC each and will be the costhest vessels
in the navy the price being greater by
several hundred thousand dollars than
that of the heaviest battle ship, The cruis-
ers will be known as the Tennessee and
the Washington, and are the vessels about
which disagreement arose in the Board
of Construction as to whe,ne: rower
should be sacrificed TO speed A negative
decision was reached.
The yards awarded the contracts Will
receive from the government not less than
81 900 900 each for the construction OF
bulls and machinery, and the armor fac
tories will receive practically the remaiA-
der. Nearly two years time was devoted
by the experts to the designs for these
cruisers, and it will be at least three years
bebore they are completed.
