President Pell, Or. Ivey and Legislator Ntw-
land Meet Again.

Twenty years and more ago three boys
destined to win high place in their State
were going to school together in the vii
lage Of Lenoir, Caldwell county. They
were Tom Iyey, Will Newland and Bob

in Raleigh, and in the JOY of the reunion
they dined together at the Marlborough
House and recalled pleasant incidents OF
their school days when they were study
ing under Prof. Faucette, splendid teach
er of the old school.
How the times change. Now Tom Ivey
has become a ID. ID. and leader in the
Methodist Conference; Bob Pell has come
to be president of Converse College, one
of the first educational institutions in the
South; and Will Newland as legislator was
chairman of the Judiciary Committee of
the Legislature of 1903.
These boys had a good time yesterday,
but they couldn't exactly get back into
the old relation for the world no longer

Dying in Glory of Blood and Flame

Soledad Venezuela, Monday, July 20th.-
z p. m.-The fight from one o'clock this
afternoon has been horrible and at this
hour the only places which still resist
the onset of the government troops are
the Jail and the capitol.
Early in the afternoon $500 government
troops stormed and captured the ga
NORA" called the Sebastopol of Ciudad
Bolivar. Ninety-four dead rebels were
found inside, among them being General
Azanza, one of the revolutionary leaders,
whose head has been blown off by shell.
1t is impossible to render an idea of the
carnage which occurred at this point.
The escape of the revolutlonists after
the capture of the capitol which is inevI-
table, seems impossible They must either
surrender or die. At o'clock tonight
the custom house was taken after ten
hours fight The Associated Press rep
resentative counted sixty killed as re
suit of this fight.
The Dalton block, where the American
consulate and most of the foreign business
houses are located, was captured at
o'clock. The revolutionists are without
provisions and water. the supply pipe
having been cut yesterday. Their sltua-
ton is considered desperate and hopeless.
The shops are being pillaged

THE OLD OAK Is GONE.
Decayed Prom Age it Was Found Necessary to
Cut the Tree Down.

The big oak tree on the corner OF
Blount and Edenton streets has been cut
down. For over one hundred years this
majestic tree has been a familiar sight IN
Raleigh. It was one of the largest trees
in the State and measured twenty five feet
in circumference. Visitors to the city
were always directed to see the Big Oak. :
On many occasions it has been threatened
to have this tree cut down, but the voice
of the people rose up against it and The
Oak" was allowed to remain. A few
years ago when it was ordered that all the
trees on the sidewalks should be cut down
the people in Raleigh were unanimous in
their refusal to have this tree destroyed,
and it was allowed to remain.
The old big Oak" has been guide to
strangers and native residents and child
rem, and whenever a direction was asked
the "Big Oak was sighted as guideway.
Under its majestic limbs and branches
have many of the States greatest orations
been delivered by her gifted sons. Our
oldest citizens can remember when the old
grape vine swing was hung to the branches
and in childish glee they would swing to
and fro.
One of our oldest citizens remarked on
yesterday when he saw the tree being cut
down, that he well remembered when he
was a student at the old Lovejoy Acad
envy. fifty years ago, that during recess
the boys would gather under this old tree
and play marbles.
At the surrender of the war, when Pat
rick Walsh shot at Fitzpatrick and was
run distance of two miles out Hillsboro
road, where he was captured he was first
placed under this big oak to be hanged but
was later taken to the old L.ovejoy grove,
distance of one block, where he was
hanged.
1t was found necessary to cut down the
tree as it was fast decaying and the limbs
were dropping off. There was danger that
any wind might topple it over and crush
some one TO DEATH
There is hardly a person in Raleigh that
does not know the old big oak, and to
many it will be like the loss of some dear
one when they learn that it has been cut
down. Nearly every one who passed yes
terday when it was being cut down would
either take piece of bark or chip as a
remembrance

disposed of. Judge PEBBLES will probably
leave on the II o'clock train for his home
this morning
