Mr.. JOHNSON REPLIES TO STUART.
secretary of That Far Famed Lebanon Meet
Ing Issues Red Hot Statement.

the following self explanatory state
'nent has been made by Hon. G. Bruce
Johnson, of Honaker, Va. without un-
derte king to do 80 directly, 4 puts can
didate Stuart in bad light.
Honaker, Va, Oct. IL have seen in
he papers Stuart's attack on me on ac-
,ount of what l have said about the
rlass-meeting Mt Lebanon, held for the
urpose of instructing Stuart to vote to
Droclaim the constitution. / told Mr..
Gillespie, and publicly said at Abingdon,
"a, on the 26th OF September, that
only seven votes were cast in the meet
ing to instruct him to proclaim the con-
titution. l said nothing about the
lumber present, but / do know that
My seven votes were cast, for l was
ne che that offered the resolution to IN
truct him to submit, and Captain Gent
fered the resolution to instruct him to
Jroclaim it. And on these resolutions
MY seven votes were cast. There was
hree or four hundred people in town to
leer Mr.. Stuart explain the constitu-
ion, and after he spoke call was made
meet and instruct him to proclaim
he constitution, and only seven of the
citizens would vote in the matter, and
ais l know because l was secretary of
ne n seting, and tailed the votes when
he yeas and nays were taken, and then
standing vote was demanded by my
telt, and only four men stood up to pro
claim, and three to submit, and the
chairman declared the resolution carried
> instruct him to proclaim, whereupon
ne proceedings of ths meeting was di-
Tected to be handed Mr.. Stuart by the
chairman. By this statement | will
sand, as it is the truth, the whole truth,
help me. If only three or five hun
dred people were present, where we're
ne balance OF the voters of the county,
about 2, 500 in number, that he ignored
proclaiming the constitution? / do
now that the meetiIg did not vote SOL
l1iy to proclaim the constitution, as
laimed by him in his speech at Bristol,
Tor the Republicans were solidly for
fubmission. Stuart said himself that
ne Republicans were fixing to beat the
constitution when submitted to them to
vote on, then why would they vote to
instruct him to proc lain it when that
would put it beyond their power to pet
- chance at it; thus Of itself is enough
refute the settlement of Stuart thst
10Th Republicans and Democrats voted
o proclaim the constitution.
When Stuart solemaly told the people
at this meeting in Lebanon thet no
White man, be he ever so ignorant or
Door, would be disfranchised, and RELY
'ng upon that statement instructed him
% proclaim it, did lie not violate thst
pledge when he proclaimed a cOnstitu-
lion that has disfrapchised hundreds of
white men? put this up to him.

at the time of the crime, must
have been in full possession of
his mental faculties. The testi-
mony showed that the INSANITY
OF Hanson was caused by excess
I've drinking, and that this cause
was not active at the time of the
crime.
Saturday morning was given
to the attorneys for their plead
lngs before the jury. Those who
were present, speak in the high
est terms Of praise of the address
of States Attorney Tscharner.
This opinion was further voiced
by Judge Rice, who in closing
the case referred to Mr.. Tschar-
ner's conduct of the same in
terms of highest praise.
1he jury retired at 300 in the
afternoon, and arrived at their
verdict after about 20 hours. The
verdict and the penalty pro-
nounced meet with general APP
proval on the part of the public.

Resident: It's a nice thing for
the city to grade the streets in
the residence section. But there
can be no good reason advanced
why the streets should be dug
up their full width, spelling the
chances for bouIevarding them.
In grading the residence streets,
room enough should be left for at
least one row of trees, and if
room for two rows is left, all
| the better. In the cities where
the beautifying of the thorough
fares is made a study the streets
are dug up to a width of not
more than "a feet enough for
| two rigs to pass each other com
fortably, and no more. 1t would
seem to me that this is enough
also for Lennon. The wind
will have that much less play for
raising dust, and our people will
have an incentive to plant trees
in fro 1T of their lots that will
eventually do much to beautify
the town. | can think of nothing
more ugly than a ditch right along
side of the sidewalk.
Coal Dealer: The condition Of
the coal market is such that there
is likely to be a great scarcity of
coal during the winter. The coal
strikes of the summer have re-
duced the supply to almost roth
ing, and the growing demand
will soon exhaust that. | would

the country to buy their supply

The trial was looked forward
to with great interest throughout
the county. 1t began Thursday
morning with the impanelling of
a jury. The regular panel was
exhausted with only three jurors
secured, and sheriff Fletcher and
his deputies were put on their
mettle in gathering a special
yenire of forty men good and
true, from among whom the
other nine were finally found.
Much to the surprise of all the
trial lasted a comparatively short
time, practically all the testimony
being given in one day, Friday.
The prisoner was defended by
Messrs. McNulty and Norton,
whose main defense lay in an ef-
fort to prove that the crime had
been done in an insane mood. 1t
was proved that Hanson had twice
been an inmate of the insane
asylum at Rochester, Minn,, and
that a sister of his is also men
tally afflicted. DR.. Kilborn, of
Rochester, was the main witness
in testlfying to these facts.
States Attorney P. J. Tscharner,
in presenting the states case,
however, brought out strong
testimony through Drs. Sandbo
and Clark, showing that Hanson

were favored with free delivery
by the express company, and
Secretary Wakefield was in
structed to ask the Wells-Fargo
Express Co. to install free de-
livery system for their office here.
While no direct action was
taken in the matter, the recent.
ly finished dam and the pending
water works construction, to-
gether with the proposed con-
tract with the railroad company,
received exhaustive considera-
ton. Mayor Finch was present
and stated the subject with a
view to obtaining the clubs con-
sensus Of opinion. The main is
sue was the contract offered by
the C.. M. & P. S. Ry. CO., which
was read to the club. 1t pro-
vldes that the railroad loans to
the city $4,000 at 5 per cent, to
be used IN constructing the
WaterWOrks system, with stand
pipe or tank at the right of way,
this money not to be paid until
the city shall have expended
$4,000. Payment to be made by
the city in water, furnished at
the rate of 7 l-2 cents per 1000
gallons
After the debt is paid, the city
is to furnish water to the railroad
at five cents per thousand gallons,
such service to be practically
perpetual. The mayor pointed
out that this contract is awaiting
it's acceptance, but that the coun-
ell are reluctant to order its ac-
ceptance until they know more as
to the real worth of the service
asked. The club rightly eX-
pressed the opinion that expert
opinion should be had as to
whether tie city could afford to
render the service asked. All
were unanimous that the railroad
should receive the water at cost,
but that, on the other hand, it
would be unwise TO bind the
municipality to an agreement
which would burden the treasury
wit h a constant loss.
1t was deemed best not to at
tempo the laying of the pipe this
season, but to wait till spring.
The reservoir was shown to have
cost little more than $40, 900.

Monday evening there was a
good attendance at the club
rooms.
The matter relating to the
public library was brought up
land Mr.. Berry, for the committee
reported that the school author
tiles would be willing to house
the same, some Of the teachers
offering to serve as librarians az
a nominal cost. 1t was further
brought out that the public are
ready to assist the movement by
subscriptions and donation, and
that later in the season enter
talnments by the Woman's club
may be expected in furtherance
of the library project. The neu-
cleus for this library, consisting
OF some TOO choice volumes, was
secured by Rev. Jas. H. George,
and donated by him to the city.
