DRY GOODS
This Week We
Start a :.
Remnant and
Odds and
Binds Sale

That will surpass any
we've ever before at
tempted.
The event of the sea-
son in which all pres
ent and even some
future needs can be
met at a worthwhile
saving.
It's the aftermath,
really the climax, of
our recent clearing
sale, which has left in
it's wake an enormous
amount of remnants
and odds and ends.
So great is the accum-
lation that we were
prevented from hold
ing this sale sooner
in order that we may
get the lots properly
assorted. Needless to
say everything has
been marked for a
quick clearance. In
fact the remarkably
low prices now bear
absolutely no relation
to early season values.
There are big bar
gains at every turn,
especially in Summer

Electrocnted in Midair.

William L. Tyler, lamptrimmer
employed by the Norfolk, Portsmouth
and Newport News Company, was elec-
trocuted in midair atSecond and Lincoln
streets, South Portsmouth, last night.
He had mounted pole to relight an
arc lamp, and evidently grasPed a
heavily charged wire. Residents
we're startled by the bright glare
in the air, and saw Tyler's form
outlined in the darkness as be grasped
the wire, and a moment later saw him
fall heavily to the ground, about 80 feet
below. About 1900 volts passed
through the body. He was formerly OF
Richmond, and leaves wife and child.
Tyler was 26 years old.

Hanged Man Made Signs.

In order to deal capital punishment
in the State of New Jersey a staggering
blow before the next legislature OF that
State Rev. Emil A. Meury, pastor Of the
Second Reformed Churchin Jersey City,
whose observations in the past, he de-
clares, have proved to him conclusively
that a man retains consciousness, men,
ory and the power of voluntary motion
even after his neck has been broken by
the drop from the gallows, will serve Oh
the sherif's jury in the Hudson county
iail today at the hanging of Edward
Tapeley, a negro wife murderer.
Rev. Mr.. Meury cites the results OF as
tonishing observations he made at the
hanging, on April l3, 1897, OF Paul
GEM. which also occurred in the Hud-
son county Jail.
He witnessed the hanging after max
ing an arrangement with the prisoner
whereby GEM was to make certain sig
mails with his hands after the drop had
fallen for the purpose of proving to the
minister's satisfaction that capital pun
ishment eutailed untold conscious suffer-
ing on the victim even after his neck
had been broken.
"Genz was certain he would be con-
scious after his neck was broken" said
the clergyman. "He said to me;
Watch me closely. After my body is
ieyked upward and fall to the rope 5
end and my neck is broken | will wait
about minute, then | will close my
hands twice, then once, then twice
again. l arrange this signal now so
that none of the doubters who may be
looking at me can say that my move
ments are only involuntary twitchlngs.
"When GeDz fell after being jerked
into the air by the rebound bis body
stitiened, and about three-quarters of
minute passed. Then GEM clinched
his hands twice, opened them again,
closed them once, then twice again.
distinctly saw his pinioned hands make
the signal he said he would give me.
So did six other men TO whom / had
told GEMS promise of what he would
do. The horror Of it was almost over
whelming."

storms and Floods.

Severe rain and au electrical storm
wrought damage to the extent of more
than 500, 900 at an early hour yester.
day morning in Huntinp ton, w. Va,
and vicinity. In three hours time the
government gauge showed almost five
inches of rainfall. The streets and
avenues of Huntington were miniature
rivers, and hundreds ofstores and private
homes were flooded, the water standing
many inches deep on the floors. Bridges
we're washed away, telegraph and tele-
phone wires wrecked, live stock drown
ed, and barns and outbnildings washed
away along the banks Of smaller tribu-
taries of the Ohio. Never in local history
was so much damage wrought in SO short
a time by rainfall.
The electrical storm which accom-
panied the rainfall started three fires in
Huntington alone, but the flames we're
extinguished without great loss. The
extent OF the damage south OF Hunting
ton is known 10 be heavy.
Three children Cf EnOs Adkins,
living on a creek near Ranger, were
drowned in a a. ded stream Tues
day night. rne family was aroused
from sleep when water crept up
around the house. To escape the rush
of water, that three children were placed
on horse, while Mr.. and Mrs. Adkins
mounted another, and started through
the darkness to the home of Adkins
brother, half mile away.
At ford just below the Adkins home
the horse bearing the children stumbled
and was carried down the stream. The
three children, the eldest of whom was
eleven and the youngest seven years Of
age, were carried away with the horse
and drowned.
Acloudburst few miles east ofBristol,
Tenn, Yesterday afternoon caused a
tweve-foot rise in Beaver creek. flowing
through Bristol. Industrial plants aud
some business houses were flooded, do
ing damage 10 the amount of several
thousand dollars. Families residing near
the creek had to flee to places of safety.
1t was the highest flood since 1857.
Railway trestles were damaged and trains
delayed.
A score Of persons were injured in St.
Louis and East st. Louis yesterday as
the result of violent wind and rain
storm, which followed 10 minutes OF
sudden darkness. Two persons were
blown from roofs, many we're injured by
falling roofs and one man was hurt in a
stairway crush, caused by panic in the
Louisville and Nashville freight Office
The wind caused much damage on both
sides of the Mississippi river. Buildings
we're unrooied, chimney tops were
blown over and suspended signs were
torn loose and sent rafting along the
streets. During the darkness the wind
reached velocity of As miles an hour.

Preparing for Continuing the War Gin
Case the Peace Negotiations Fail
St. Petersburg, July 1.-The Russian
war Office is not slackening preparations
for continuing the war in case the peace
negotiations are unsuccessful. The gap
IN Gen. Lineyitch's army caused by the
losses at Mukden has been filled, and
the railroad is working to its full ca
pacity carrying reinforcements to form
fresh corps A dispatch received from
lrkutsk announces the completion Of
work on the trans Baikal line. In order
to relieve traffic on the railroad Prince
Hilkof, minister of railroad eommunica-
tons, has sent three steamers loaded
with rails and a Aotilla Of river steam
ers by way Of the Arctic ocean to the
mouth Of the Yenisei river, whence they
win be transported up that river to
Krasnoyarsk. which is within 400 miles
Of Lake Baikal.
The intimatiou Of Mr.. Sato, Baron
KomuFa's secretary, that Japan will
claim full Naturalization for the cost
Of the war besides the island Of Sakhalin
has gained recruits for the war party
from among the class which had hoped
Russia would be able to offer the rail-
roads to Port Arthur and Dalny, the

occupy a suite Of twenty-five rooms
on the fourth floor Of the Waldorf
Astoria. A Japanese flag flies from
one Of the windows, and by its side
floated Tuesday the state flag Of Yer

cumstanee is explained by the fact that
the Vermont flag was displayed in honor
OF II. w. Denison, q native Vermonter.
who has been for twenty-five wears the
legal adviser of the foreign Office Of
Japan. A communication in The New
York Tribune, from a Japanese writer,
contains the following sketch of Mr..
Denison;
Mr.. II. w. Denison IS with the mis-
sion. On the 18th day OF May, 1S47,
he was born in Guildhall, Vt. In the
troublesome days Of ca he was a clerk
in the war department in Washington.
A little later he was transferred TO the
treasury department. At the same time
he was a student in the law depart
ment of Columbia College, in Washing
ton, d. 9. In 1869, when the Toxic gov
ernment was one year old, he came to
Nippon as the vice consul at Kanagawa.
After almost ten years in the consular
service Of his own country he resigned
and practiced law in YoI1ohoma. Ia
May, 1850, he acceptede the invitation
Of acting as a legal adviser to the for
eign Office Of Nippon and in that ca
paeity he saw the historic days Of the
Shimonoseki treaty. Sometimes, at his
breast you can see the souvenir Of those
days; it is the Grand Gordon Of the
Order of the Sacred Treasury, which
His Majesty, the Emperor Of Nippon,
presented to him as a token OF his
appreciation for the services to the
state. He had no small role to play
in bringing about the Anglo Nippon al
lance In 1900, he was one of the men
