which occurred in Norfolk yesterday,
WAS announced in q telegrsphic uiS'
match to the Gazette. Mr.. GoOde bad

as a speaker, bis extensive stock oil ID
formation and his ability IS lawyer
soop brought him Into prominence. 10

ouired Unborn genius and untiring sPPh'
cation to keep from being cast into an
eclipse by the wise and great who at
that time were the representative men Of
the Old Dominion, but Mr.. Goode,
realizing the truth of the old saying thai
there is always room on top, succeeded
in getting there and holding his position.
For wears he had been termed "Tht
Grand Old Man OF Virginia, " and thai
no deserved the name is the opinion OF
all who knew him as we'll as those who
have closely studied his history as a
LAWYER. soldier and statesman.

sged, according TO meagrs wireless dis
patches received here eatly this mOrniug.
The Dispatches convey the impression
that the q. III went to the bottom like a
slOne. The repair ship Eudymion has
been rushed to the scene to render aid.
From the f'agmentsry dispatches
svsiIsble here, itappeArs that the q. ii

preparatory to going up the Tha mts

the naval maneuvers there.
The o. IL struck the o. ii smidships,
almost cutting her in two. The bow Of
the o. II was badly damaged, and she
was forced to hurry to Yarmouth. The
O. IL, it is understood, was running half
submerged, with her ports all closed.
The unfortunate officers and crew had no
opportunity to leave their vessel, and
were carried to the bottom in the sealed

but say that Lieuteuants Brodie and
Watkins and part Of the crew OF the
o. IL were on the deck near the coming
tower, when the submarine sank, and
we're picked up later BY boats from the
vessels of the feet.
The report says the disaster was
caused by an unknown steamer running
down the o. Ii, and causing her to
collide With the o. II. In the hope of
picking up other survivors the feet has
not yet entered the Thames, but is
standing by.
Sheerness, Eng, July 15'-An official
statement given out by the naval author
tiles says that Lieutensnts Brodie and
Watkins and Seaman Stripes were saved
when the o IL sank, and that thirteen

1t is thought the EddystOne was
crossing The line of the hOtilla as the

All other members of the submarine

LiakhCh and his little force of weary
Oossacka still mold their position 10 the
barrcsde in the central square, despite
a furious attack resumed by the rebels

walls the wild tribesmen, the Bakhtiari,
attempted to creep up within striking
distance of the bsrricade, and time after
time the streets before the entertainments
were swept clear by moving artillery

The rebels succeeded in firing several
shells from their cannon practically all
of which damaged the foreign residences
about the central square.

Office has sent orders TO the Russian
troops in Persia to arrange for the safe

abdicate and fee.
Orders have also been sent TO the
Russian feet in the Caspian to sail at
once for Persia.

SOME people, for reasons best.kno"D
TO themselves, prefer to believe in evolu'
ton. and continue their attempts to
prove to Others that the human race
emansted from the Simisn creation. Sir
Victor Horsley, lecturing recently be-
fore the Medical Society, of London,
explained our habit OF swinging the
arms when walking, which he stated was
quite unnecessary, as a relic OF the
days when we walked oD all fours.
Then the lecturer said we had to
use arms as we'll as legs. AL
though their use serves no purposes
when walking upright, ne still keep on
