county, on his arrival here stated that
Rev. X. Cauley, Baptist minister, resid.
ing in Vinton, suburb of Roanoke, but
who has a charge in Floyd near Copper

day afternoon by six masked men, fear
fully beaten and left for dead. The men
dragged him from his buggy and used
whips and cudgels and backjacks.
He was discovered during the night and
taken to a nearby farmhouse where his
condition is said to be precarOus.
Some months ago Mr. Cauley was con-
ducting a protracted meeting in the vicin-
ity and several moonshiners we're selling
Illicit whiskey around the church. This
fact he reported to the United States
Commissioners, and warrants were issued
for the arrest Of Hardin Gusts, James
Manning and Oliver Stewart. Manning
and Stewart sfterward conspired to assault
the preacher, and waited for him by the
roadside and on Saturday afternoon pulled
him from bis buggy and gave him sound
thrashing.
At a term of the United States court
held here last week, both men were fined
$500 and sentenced to one year in the
Federal prison Atlanta, Ga, and they
were taken to Atlanta the same night
District Attorney Moore, IN summing up
the evidence, stated that he wanted a ver
dict commensurate with the criuIe, ami
one that would put stop to the necessity
of preacher forced to carry a Bible in
one hand and Winchester in the other in
Floyd county.
1t is alleged that the assault of Satur.
day was cammitted by friends of the two
moonshiner convicts. The people of the
community declare that every effort will
be made to run down the perpetrators of
the dead.

WHAT HAS RECENTLY TRANSFERRED
IN THE COUNTIES OF THIS
SECTION.

on last Friday night. In the disaster
Engineer Lee Spaulding and his fireman
- Hoover lost their lives. The train
was running at high rate of speed when
COW came on the track in front of the
engine at a point near bridge The
engine struck the COW but crossed the
bridge before it lett the track. 1t then
plunged down an embankment, crushing
out the life of the engineer and fireman.
The mail, baggage and express cars all
went over the embankment. The bag.
gage man, B. f. Wood, express messenger,
w. g. Otey, and mail clerks, Louis Jenk-
ins and Ashley Adams, were all slightly
injured. There were a good number of
passengers on the cars. They were badly
shaken up and frightened but none were
killed or seriously hurt.
The Union Iron and Steel Company has
purchased and taken charge of the Big
Stone Gap furnace. The furnace is very
large one, and will now be operated to its
full capacity. The company which now
owns it has furnaces at Ironton, Ohio,

The TazewelI Orchestra.

The Tazewell Orchestra, that was re-
Gently organized under the management
of Mr.. Quinton, is making rapid progress
and expects within a few months to be
ready to give a concert, that will be a
credit to our town.
When an orchestra was first spoken OF
being organized the citizens Of our town
were rather reluctant about donations,
having previously subscribed to two or
three brass bands and all of these having
lasted for but very sholt periods.
1t Is well-known that we can boast of
having some of the finest performers on
string instruments in this section, and
an up.to.date orchestra will be a great
benefit 20 our town. The members have
each resolved to make this one a success
and are devoling much time to the prac-
ticing.
Nov, in order to maintain our orchestra,
which has already proved success, it is
necessary that some assistance be given 10y
the music.loving citizens of the town
They have had very heavy expense in
organizing, having bought number Of
instruments, music and other fixtures.
Mr.. Quinton is devoting his whole time
to the welfare of the orchestra, and has
fully demonstrated his knowledge and
ability to govern and instruct such an or
ganization.

Says a Semi-Oficial Statement at 81.
Petersburg.
IN REGARD TO KlSHlNEFF MATTER
No Negotiations Have Been Had Between
Russia and United States on the Sub
ject, and no Communication made
by the United States.
IN REGARD TO KlSHINEFF MATTER

st. Petersburg, June 90.-The following
semi-oficial statement was issued today;
There have been no negotiation between
Russia and the United States in regard tc
President Roosevelt's intention to forward
to Russian government petition from the
American Jews concerning the events al
Kishineff, and no communication had
been made to Russia by the United States
government on this subject. But had
such been received, Russia would nat
urally have known, what to reply to such
an attempt at interference in her inter
affairs.
The foregoing note was issued by the
semi.official news agency.
Washington, June 30.-When the dis
patch from st. Petersburg saying there
had been no negotiations between Russia
and the United States relative to President
Roosevelt's intention to forward to the
Russian government a petition from
American Jews, was shown to Count
Cassini, the Russian Ambassador, today
he thought it too clear to need any com
ment. He confirmed its correctness.
1t is understood that the semi-otticia
statement was issued because of a sensa
tional report circulated through Europs
that Count Cassini had called at the White
House in an agitated state of mind to otfel
formal explanation in the name of his
government for the Kishinef incident.

New Station House Needed.

A new station house at Tazewell is badly
needed; and steps should be taken by our
citizens to so bring this need to the atten-
ton of the Norfolk & Western authorities
that it will be attended to. The present
building is totally inadequate in every re-
spect. 1t does not furnish sufficient wait
ing room to accommodate comfortably the
passengers who 60 from and come to this
point. For the proper storage and hand
ling of freight, the freight room is even
more insufficient in capacity.
lazewell is now the most important
station on the Clinch Valley Division.
There are more passengers coming to and
going from here each year than any other
point on the line. 1t is also very con-
siderable shipping and receiving station
of such kinds of freight as require a large
and convenient storage OF freight room.
The present accommodations at Tazewell
station are Of such poor character as to
be an injustice and discomfort to the
travelling public, and equally so to shippers
and receivers of freight. They are also an
injustice to Mr.. Miles, the very accommo'
dating and efficient station agent, and the
other employees of the company.
The Norfolk & Western Railway Com
pany is now exhibiting very liberal
spirit to other communities, in providing
for the building of new depots. We
melton Wytheville and Pocahontas, where
new depots are to I've built. No doubt il
the matter Is properly presented and urged
the company will build new depot at
Tazewell.

Later,

Savannah, Ca, June 2S.-Tbe most
unique baseball game ever played in this
section was one reported to-day from
Quitman, Ga. At Spain's Plantation near
that place rival teams of colored players
were pitted against each other. The feel
ing was intense. At one stage Of the game
William johnson, player for one side,
sought to steal second. He was well on
the way, when there came the report OF
gun, and johnson, yelling with pain, fell
TO the ground. Some negro whose name
could not be learned had fired load OF
bird shot into him from among group OF
rooters for the opposing side.
This did not break up the game. A
substitute was put in Johnson's place ano
a doctor went to work picking shot out o
him.
This was not the only shot. Three inn'
mos later there was second shot fired
Tom Delegate, the umpire, caught the loaC
of bird shot this time, decision havinI
been not to the liking of the crowd tina
had the gun.
This broke up the game, and the umplr
also went under the doctors care. NJ
arrests have been made.

SPEEDY TRIAL FOR NEGRO.
Murderer William Spencer Arralgned
two Weeks After Crime,

New YORK, June 30.-The district attor.
ney's Office has established something of Il
record for speedy action in the case of
William Spencer, the negro who shot and
killed in cold blood Chas. S. McFarlane,
the superintendent of the nti-Poicy
Society," in the corridor of the criminal
court building. Spencer was placed on
trial today, after scarcely two weeks had
elapsed since the commission of his crime.
1t has been long time since popular in
dignation has been aroused 10 such pitch
against murderer in the metropolis as it
has been in the case Of Spencer, and this
feeling has prompted the prosecution to
rush the case TIN oueh as speedily as posi-
bic, without giving excuse for the cry of
"railroading" the negro to the electric
chair. Spencer was a lieutenant of Al
Adams, the dethroned policy king, and it
is probable that before the end of the pre-.
sent week the negro will be occupying a
cell in Sing Sing prison, where his former
chief is now serving years sentence.

Breastpin Stuck In Engine.

New York, June 2S.-While cleaning an
engine at the North White Plains yards
today, an employee of the Harlem Rail-
road Company found the diamond breast
pin worn by Mrs Mary Agnes Hall Potter
when she was killed Thursday evening.
The pin was tightly fastened on the front
of the engine cab between the boiler and
the window.
The pin of the brooch was stuck into the
cab nearly half inch. A railroad man
said tonight that in was the strangest in
cident he had ever heard of in connection
with death on the rail, that the PIN should
have gone with such force as to imbed
itself in the cab Of the engine, which, since
it killed Mrs. Potter, has run several hun.
dred miles, and made three hundred sta
tion stops.

To FortifY CuIebra.

Washington, June 29.-The Government
has finally decided to transform Culebra
Island, east of Porto Rico, into a great
naval base, with powerful Notifications.
Not only will defences be established on
Culebra Island itself, but the three smaller
islands lying close to it will be fortified.
Culebra harbor needs no dredging and
it is large enough to accommodate ten
times the number of ships in the United
States navy without crowding. 1t is sur
rounded by hills from natural emplace
ments for defenses of any size. Culebrs
is within easy striking distance of the
Isthma of Panama and South Americs
and if the present plans be carried out j
will be the real key to the Caribbean.

Vienna, June 2S.-The action OF the
