A Serious Accident.
Yesterday afternoon, just after we

feet. The following received serious
injuries :

The Rnln Storm.
] Special to the TiMKS.
RAD FORD, May 14.?Last night the
Massachusetts Press Association spent
a pleasant time in Bristol. The train
arrived at 4 o'clock and was met by
large number of carriages and a dele
gat ion of citizens.
A drive was taken about town, and
a vi.-it made to the furnace now in
course of erection. The drive was
most enjoyable, and ended at the Fair

burs of the party were invited to par
take of a banquet. A hop followed and
an informal reception was tendered

thu train pulled out toward Badford
and this morning the party ate break?
fast at the inn and afterwards took
a drive about the country surround?
ing the town.
The ride from Uoanoke to Bristol
was a delightful one, and every one
was in ecstacies about the beauty of
the country traversed. It was a race
with a storm all the way, and the day
was made up of streaks of sunshine
and cloud. Sometimes we would be
ahead of the storm and running along
through thesunshine. Then it would
overtake us and the train would be
delighted with a bath of great drops.
But we outran it at last and when
Bristol was reached, the weather was
bright and beautiful. The travelers
had a merry time en route.

When General Fitzhugh Lee, of Vir

the New York Press, he was dined by
a number of his New York friends at
the Southern Society club-house. In

"I've got a housefull of daughters.and
I'm going out of politics and into
money-making until every one of
them is provided with a dower and
my own old age provided for. Then,
if I am not as old as Methuselah, I
may try my hand again at po'itics."
