BULL FIGHT IN ROCKINGHAM.

A lively fight between q three
year-old bull and half dozen
men occurred Wednesday near Keezle-
town, Rockingham county. In the
public road the animal suddenly turned
upon William Sheets and Henry Lay
man. She cts was knocked down and
severely bruised about the legs. Lay
man made good his escape. The bull
then cleared several fences and charged
Levi Getz, a sturdy Rockingham
farmer, on his own land. In his des-
perate situation Getz literally took the
bull by the horns" and the shaking
and tossing that followed were siren
uous, but doubtless saved Getz's life.
Getz finally was hurled to the ground,
and having lost his hold, escaped over
a fence. The animal then made for
Getz's daughter, Mrs. Jacob Armen-
trout, who was carrying bucket OF
water. A wild race for fence fol-
10 we'd. TWAS Garrison finish for the
woman, though she dropped her bucket
at the start, As the excitement in
creased, the crowd swelled to q half
dozen men and four dogs. The animal
made nine stands in his fight, but
finally was compelled to retreat to the
big road before a furious bombardment
OF stones and sticks.

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
FRIDAY EVENING. JAN. 13

THE closing yesterday OF the Mer-
camille Railway Building and Loan
Association of this city, following SO
closely in the wake OF the notice which
was placed on the front door OF the
Virginia Safe Deposit and Trust Corpo-
ration, was unfortunate. Both instItu-
tons have been the repositories Of
men, women and children who had
but small amounts to. invest, and such
are naturally anxious nothwlthstanu-
ing the assurances Of the receivers
that the claims OF all depostors will
eventually be met. Such occurrences
in mid-winter, when numbers inter
ested are unable to work, cause con-
siderable gloom and bring about q
timidity and lack of confidence
which more or less permeates the
entire community. Money is the
most sensitive OF all thermometers,
and apprehension is naturally caused
among many who have money invested
in institutions shown by bi-monthly ex-
hibits to be perfectly sound. This should
not be the case. The companies which
have been compelled to close their
doors from one cause or another VIII,
of course, require time to settle their
affairs, and until exhibits can be made
it will doubtless be best TO suspend
Judgment. The wheels OF rcccirershlps
and courts move slowly, and the many
interested realize that should the diTi'
dends declared eventually. meet al
demands, it may be long time be-
fore this reimbursement can be made
While we al regret such occurrences
rs over third Of q century had elapsed
since the abrupt closing Of banking
institution in Alexandria, it should
be remembered that such collapses are
common in the larger cities and that
mobs of men, women and children are
often seen surging around defunct
banking institutions. Such scenes have
always been rare in Alexandria, and
the floating cloud which has settled
over the city will, it is hoped, soon
BASS away,

The Explosion and Fire in Connells-
Vile.

Connellcsville, Pa., Jan. 13.-With
five bodies recovered, firemen and po-
lice today resumed their search OF the
ruins OF the McCrorey five and ten cent
store aud adjoining buildings which
we're destroyed by fire yesterday follow
ing gas explosion in the basement oil
the McCrorey store.
Two OF the bodies found are still un-
identified, owing to their terribly
charred condition. One is OF man,
the other a woman. The remaining
three bodies, claimed by relatives, are
those OF Mabel Grace Wagner, Christie
bel S. Smith and Minnie Muiac, all
saleswomen in the FIVE and ten cont
store.
An estimate OF the total damage by
fire and water, made today, placed the
loss at $4,000. This is distributed
over nine buildings, and is largely
covered by insurance.

FROM WASHINGTON

A rendezvous Of naval vessels in
which all the fleets Of the world shall
be represented is provided for in an
amendment which Senator Swanson
will propose 10 the Panama exposition
bill. The amendment was offered in
the Senate today. The president is
authorized to invite all nations to send
warships, which will rendezvous in
Hampton Roads prior to the exposition
in 1915. These vessels, when assem-
bled, will proceed up the Potomac river
to Washington and visit the nation 5
capital. After their return to Hamp-
ton Roads the president will go there
and review them. at the conclusion
of this ceremony the aggregated fleet
will sail to New Orleans or San Fran
cisco, whichever city is awarded the
exposition. Senator SwanSon's idea is
to have the largest fleet ever assembled
do honor to the completion of the
Panama canal.
A critical stage in the tariff nego-
tiations between representatives OF the
governments of Canada and the United
States vas reached today, when the
conferees took up in detail the schedules
involved in the proposed reciprocity.
It is understood that an agreement on
general principles has now been reach
ed, From this time on specific re-
auctions in the coal, lumber, wood
pulp, agricultural implements, and
farm and dairy products duties will be
considered. An open market for
Canadian farm and dairy products IS
the chief thing the dominion nego-
tiators want.
