On Saturday Judge Henry W. Holt
acted on the petition presented some
days before asking him to order spec
ial election on the question for or
against granting liquor licenses in this
city, and fixed Friday, July 18th as
the date. Judge Holt ruled that any
one on the registration books could
vote whether their poll tax had been
paid six months prior or not. He also
announced that the prepOnderance of
decisions in the State had been to the
effect that it is not requisite to pre-
pay poll taxes in order to vote at a
special election and that he concured
in that view. He said that registrars
should register all who desire to reg
lister and who are qualified under the
general law, up to shutdown July H.
the day before the election, but that
after that no one can be registered
| until Saturday, July 10.

The great Confederate Veteran Re-
union in Richmond last week was a
great success in spite of the rainy
weather. 1t was presided over by
Gen. Stephen d. Lee. Among the fea
lures was the presentation of loving
cup to Chaplain Rev. J. William Jones,

en- of the affection of the South for her

gallant soldier of the Confederacy,
who bears through life constant re-
hinder of that awful conflict" Sena-
tor Daniel took the stand amid tum ul-
tuous cheers from the old men, who
stood on chairs and threw their hats
in the air in their enthusiasm. Sena-
tor Daniel, who was the orator of the
day, made one of bis characteristic ad-
dresses. He was interrupted through
out by round after round of applause.
At the conclusion of Senator Daniels
address before the Grand Camp. Gen
eral Lee presented, amid applause. the
only living daughter of Jefferson

mia. The old veterans became wild
with joy at seeing the daughter of their
beloved president, and the hall rang
with their cheers, Mrs. Hayes was ac-
companied by her two children, who
also came in for large share of the
applause. Mrs. Hayes, on Monday,
unveiled the memorial to her father,
erected by the Daughters of the South
This was the closing feature of the

FIRST AmPuTATIoN OF THE WAR.
An Augusta Veteran Who Lost Leg at
PhIIIppi, W. Va.

Forty-six years ago Monday was
fought the battle of Philippi, Barbour
county. w. Va. This event is noted
because the first amputation of limb
on either side during the civil war re-
suited from one of the first shots fired
upOn the town by the cannon Of the
tirst call troops of Ohio, which had
been stationed during the night on an
overlooking bill.
Tue Southern soldier distinguished
by this misfortune, Mr.. James E. Han
ger, now of Washington, ID. G., attend
ed the Richmond reunion, and re-
counted with interest the stirring event.
Born in Augusta county in 1S43, the
outbreak of hostilities found him a
student of Washington and Lee Uni
versity, at Lexington. Almost imme-
diately he left college, and overlook at
Philippi on Saturday night, June 1st.
81, the company previously organized
at his home. Churchville, Va.
Word reached Philippi Sunday that
Federal troops in large numbers were
advancing on the town. With no forth
fcations and the soldiers practically
unorganiZed, defense would have been
worse than useless. Orders were given
to retreat at midnight Sunday. Be-
cause of steady downpOur, this order
was countermanded, and the march
delayed till Monday morning. The
first cannon was fired at about 4:30 a.
In. The signal was to have been the
firing of pistol by portion of the
Ohio troops, which had been detoured
in an effort to prevent the retreat of
the Confederates. But the household
of Mrs. HUMPHREYS, an uncomprOm.
Using old rebel, was aroused by the
passing soldiers, and as warning to
the Confederates she fired a pistol. This
was mistaken by the Federals for their
prearranged signal. The premature
firing of the cannon enabled the Vlr-
ginia troops to retire before the de.
toured troops could cut off the retreat,
and while the skirmishes were severe,
few losses resulted to the COnfeds.
One of these was the amputation of
Mr.. Hangers leg. 1t has since de-
veloped that this was the first ampu
tation of the war. He recovered rapid
ly and returned to his home in Angus
ia county, bringing with him as a
priced possession the cannon ball with
which be had been struck.
Unable to reach any manufacturer
and being of a mechanical turn, he
eventually, succeeded in making the
first artificial substitute he had ever
seen for the loss of leg.
