During the encounter on Jerusalem street
the troops not only fired a volley but used
the butts of their rifles and their bayonets

had their heads and limbs broken. Some of
the injuries were of a terrible nature and
there were cases where the soldiers entered
the court yards of houses and attacked
those hiding there.

was thrown the Vienna railroad sta

were wounded. All the windows in the
neighborhood We're shattered. Today the

CINCINNATI. Ohio, May 2-The motion
of District Attorney Sullivan of Cleve-
land, asking that the United States cir
cult court of appeals advance the hear
ing of the case of Mrs. Cassie l.. Chad
wick, was set for hearing before the

argued that unless the case is heard be-
fore the fall term of court justice will
suffer.
Through her counsel, Judge Wing. Mrs.
Chadwick some time ago obtained from
the United States circuit court of appeals
a stay of sentence, as result of which
she will not be considered as having COM
menced to serve her term of ten years
in the Ohio penitentiary until after the
error proceedings shall have been heard
and decided.

to give bail, but she has not yet taken

LEE "REMINISCENCES.
Funeral March Dedicated to Dead Gen
era1-Negro Regard.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RICHMOND, Va, May 2.-"Tell Jake
Reinhardt to begin to get some of the pre-
lminary bars ready for my funeral march
quickstep. | want it sort of lively, horses
galloping about, shout of combatants, roll
of big guns and all that
That was what Gen. Fitzhugh Lee wrote
to a friend 9 short time after the funeral of
President Jefferson Davis in this city, when
he was asked regarding the march written
by Prof. Reinhardt and which was played
by the famous "Stonewall' Band Prof
Reinhardt is organist at ST. PauPs Church
and Sunday night, when the news of the
death of his old friend was made known,
Prof. Reinhardt played the march com
posed for Gen Lee at his request. 1t was a
postlude. The music is fine, the swing and
rhythm graceful. The march was played
in old St. PauPs Church, in which Presi-
dent Davis received the news of the evacua-
ton of Petersburg, the president leaving
the church Immediately upon hearing the
news.
An incident came to notice yesterday
afternoon of the loyalty of the colored peo-
pie to the Lees. Many years ago, while
Gen. Lee was living in this city, he took a
colored girl from the almshousc and said
he would raise and train her Her name
was Daisie Jones. She was held in high
esteem by the general and the members of
his family. When Gen. Lee went to Cuba
she declined to go, and soon after the de-
parture of the family from this city she
was married. When she heard the news of
the death of Gen. Lee, the woman fell in a
dead faint and has been i'll since that time.
She has number of gifts which she re-
ceived from members of the general s
family.
1t is expected that some of the old family
negroes of the Lees will come to this city
to attend the funeral of the general. There
are some of them still living in Fairfax
county.

JUDGE NATHAN GOFF
Will Not Be Candidate Against SEN
ator Elkins.

Il am sure that Judge Nathan Goff will
not be a candidate for the Senate against
Senator Elkins,'' said a friend of Judge
Golf to a Star reporter today. The ru-
mors of Goff's supposed candidacy are
almost perennial, but every time they bot
up they are denied for the occasion
I'm the first place, l believe that Judge
Goff realizes how difficult it would be to
beat Elkins for the Senate. There is nc
indication that Senator Elkins has either
tired of the place or has lost any of the
grip to enable him to hold on to it. Ell
kns has the machinery, and he keeps ii
well oiled and in good running order
"A senatorial canvass in West Virginia
is an expensive undertaking at best, and
legitimately expensive, too. There are
fifty-five counties in the state that have
to be toured by the legislators, and as
the candidates for the legislature are sell
dom men of extensive means, the sena-
torial candidate has to help them in their
fight. Judge Goff knows how expensive
this is, and l don't believe he would be
inclined to meet the cost which a canvass
of the state would entail.''

which this government expressed the hope
that China would maintain her neutrality
and not permit the Russian ships to depart
