DEATHS DURING THE WEEK.
MIR. SILAS BARGER.

Waynesboro Virginian: Mr.. Silas
Barger, one of South Rivers Oldest and
most respected citizens, passed away
Saturday Iast aged 81 years, his death
the result of the infrmities of age. The
funeral and interment took place at
Trinity Sunday evening. Mr.. Barger
was the last of the generation to which
he belonged, is survived by large rela-
tionship and numerous descendants.
He was perhaps the last ''forty-niner"
in this section of country having made
the trip around Cape Horn, six
months voyage, to California when
the gold fever broke out in 1849. He
had thrilling experience in that adj
venturous time and had many hair
raising adventures. Mr.. Barger claim
ed to have helped carry the brick to
build the first brick house in the city
at San Francisco. At that time there
were but two or three shacks. After
the war he returned to his native home
and followed the peaceful persuits of

Fatal Shooting ARRAY.

Reports reached Lynchburg Tuesday
of county roadside duel in remote
part of Nelson county on Sunday even
ing, in which L. D. Astrop, a merchant
and farmer of that county, was shot
and almost instantly killed by John
McCallum, aged thirty, farmer, who
lives near the scene of the shooting.
That afternoon McCallum was given
preliminary hearing before Justices
Loving and Perkins, who, after long
examination, exonerated the accused,
the evidence showing that Astrop drew
his revolver and began the firing, and
that McCallum shot in self-defense.
The justices discharged McCallum i'm
mediately upon rendering this decision.
1t appears that the men quarreled
two weeks ago over trivial personal
matter and Sunday afternoon they met
near church, and Astrop immediate
ly began firing, McCallum returning
the fire, hitting Astrop three times.
McCallnm was not hurt. Astrop leaves
a wife and eight children.

STOLEN WHILE AGENT WASHED HIS
HANDS.
London, July 3.-Scotland Yard and
the regular police of London are ire
mendously aroused over the theft of
about $1,000, 600 worth of jewelry, and
scores of detectives are securing the
whole of England in an effort to locate
the jewels. All of the continental cit
les have been notified to be on the look
out for the missing gems.
It is learned to-day that the $500, 900
worth of jewels was owned by Ger
man jewel agent named Goldsmith,
who had brought the gems to London
with view to showing them to GER
tain English buyers.
The jewels were not stolen from the
hotel, but from the West End restau-
rant, where Goldsmith had taken them
in his hand bag to avoid leaving them
unprotected in the hotel. So careful
was he of the bag that when he went
to the lavatory:to wash his hands he
carried the bag with him, setting it
down beside him. When he turned to
pick it up it had disappeared.
Although the police have followed
every possible clew, they have been I'M
able to make any progress, and no ar
rests have been made.

Aldrich not to Bear all Blame.

Whatever merit there may be in the
declaration from Senator Tillman that
"Aldrich is the Senate OF the
United States" it is certain that
the Rhode Island Senator will not be
called upon to bear all the blame for
what the Senate has done. The peO-
pie in a number of Western States par
ticularly will hold the Senators re-
sponsible for their subserviencY to the
Aldrich organization, and they will
demand reckoning for all that Aid
rich has been a Bile to accomplish
