Paris. Jan. 11.—M. B-aurepaire con
tinues his wordy campaign agaiustthe
court of cassation. He asks for an in
vestigation of his former awciates.
He says they were prejudiced in the
Dreyfus case and that the court was
for the accused captain before any
evidence had been taken.
Paris, Jan. 11.—The cabinet decided
late this evening to probe the charges
of M. Beaurepaire against the court of
cas»ation in regard to the Dreyfus
case.
Pittsbure, Jan. 11 —Mary Miller,
Thomas Miller, Albert Wilson and
Walter Brown were killed by being

wreck the Express was running on the
wrong track. It whistled a warning,
but the victims supposed it was on the
westbound track where it was accus
tomed to run and they heeded not the
signal.
Washington, Jan. 11.—Secretary of
War Alger today wired to Huntsville,
Alabama, instructions for the disband
ing of the Sixty-ninth New York.
Washington, D. C, January 12.—
The War Department made public
today a dispatch from General Otis at
Manila received this morning, which
is as follows;
"Conditions are apparently improv
ing, citizens feel more secure, many
natives are returning, the city is quiet,
and business is active."
The War Department officers ex
pressed the opinion which they have
entertained foi the last two or three
days, to the effect that affairs in Iloilo
will gradually right themselves with
out any sacrifice of life.
It is understood that nothing has
been learned by General Otis in re
gard to the situation in Iloilo since the
steamboat which arrived at Manila on
Sunday, If any serjous developments
had appeared at Paney, the capital,
General Otis would in all prol ability
have been informed, and the absence
of information leads the administra
tion officers to believe ihe situation in
Panay is improving.
K satisfaction is expressed over
)rship order,
d ministration is not pleased
with the action of the Philippine junta
in Washington, and this feehcg is not
improved since it became evident that
Aguinaldo is assuming an attitude of
active hostility towards this country.
Their action is very similar to that of
the former Spanish diplomats in Wash
ington who lingered in Montreal after
the war began.
Washingtop, Jan. 12.—The commis
sary general appeared today before
the war investigators and pharapter
ized General Miles' statements about
embalmed beef as a set of lies, and that
he should be drummed out of service
and imprisoned. He blames General
Miles for appointing a civilian who
was incompetent as his chief of staff.
Paris, Jan. 13. —The revisionist or-1
gans today express satisfaction over
yesterday's debate in the Chamber of
Deputies and point out that the dep
uties are almost unanimous in severe- I
ly criticising the conduct of M. Beau
repaire The anti-Revisionists will
call a sitting of the sterile to declare
order.
lington, Jan. 18.—Thirty-eight
s are pledged to vote against
exation of the Philippines and
rs that the treaty will either
ided or defeated.
fork, Jan. 13.—Dun's review I
c says: The demand tor iron I

ie to exceed those of foimer
years, particularly wheat and cotton.
The home demand for Btocks are large.
The great industries continue to do a
large business, and state that business
is ou the whole very satisfactory. The
failures for the week have greatly de
creased. !
Kington, Jan. 13.—1n Army offi
les and generally in every pri
use it is accepted as a foregone
conclusion that a court martial for
General Eagan will be ordered for his
insult to General Mi]es while testify
ing before the War Investigates yes
terday,
The Commission passed a resolution
today censuring. General Eagan for
the language he used yesterday. The
Investigatois have also notified Gen
eral Eagan that his vituperative lan
guage should have been omitted, and
they returned his statement for a re
vision.
Washington, January 13th.— The
War Investigators have decided to
return to Commissary-General Eagan
an official copy of the testimony de
livered by him before the Commission
yesterday. A letter in transmittal ex

MILES IS A LIAR.
Lies in His Throat, Heart and Every
j Hair in His Head.
j Commissaiy General Eagan, before;
the War Commission yesteiday, under
oath, made these charges against Maj.
Gen. Nelson A. Miles:
I "Gen. Miles was asked by your com
mittee how tinned fresh beef became a
part of the army ration. His answer
" 'You had better ask the Secretary
of War or the Commissionary General.
I think they can tell you. I know it
was sent to the army as food, aud the
pretense is that it was tent as all ex- [
periment.'
"Gen Milas in saying tint this food
was sent to the army as '.i pr<*t"iise for
experiment' says that which iuipliih
corruption, which ninety-nlo» oat ofj
every one hundred people will under
stand to mean corruption, because it
was 'a pretense of experiment.' He
says, not even giving credit to me for
furnishing it as an experiment, but
that I furnished it under the 'pretense
of an experiment.' This is a serious
charge that should not be made by
any man lightly, nor without ample
evidence to support It.
"Taking the statement in the sense
that it was probably intended, the sense
that will be accepted by the country at
large, the sense that already the press
almost wholly of the United States has
accepted it—indeed some of the press,
because of it, called for my dismissal
from the army and my court martial
—-I answer that it was not furnished
under the pretense of experiment, nor
even as an experiment, and if and when
Gen. Miles charges that it was fur
nished as a 'pretense of experiment,'
he lies in his throat, he lies in his heart,
he lies iv every hair of his head and
every pore of his body, he lies willful
ly, deliberately, intentionally, and
maliciously. If his statement is true
that this was furnished under 'pre
tense of an experiment,' then I should
be drummed out of the arniv and in
carcerated in State prison. If this
statement is false, as I assert it to be,
then he should be drummed out of the
service and incarcerated in prison with
other libelers.
"His statement is a scandalous libel,
reflecting upon the honor of every otli
cer iv the department who has con
tracted for or purchased this meat,and
especially and particularly on the com
missary general—myself. Indenounc i
ing Gen. Miles as a liar, when he makes
this statement, I wish to make it as]
emphatic and as coarse as the state*
ment itself. I wish to force the" lie
back into his throat covered with the
contents of a camp latrine. I wish to
brand it as a falsehood of whole cloth
without a particle of truth to sustain
it, and unless he can prove his state
ment he shoiild be denounped by eyery
honest man, barred from the clubs,
barred from the society of decent peo
ple, and so ostracized that the street
bootblacks would not condescend to
speak to him, for he has fouled his
own nest, be has aspersed the honor of
a brother officer without a particle of
evidence or fact to sustain in any de
gree his scandalous, libelous, malicious
falsehood, viz., that this beef or any
thing whatever was furnished the army
under 'pretense of experiment.'"
Why is it that one man is so old and
decrepjd at 45, and another Uale and
hearty at 80 r It depends on the care
he takes of himself. Often a man's
body gets out of repair—the trouble
grows until it lays him out in bed.
Whenever a man feels that he is not as
well as he ought to be, whenever he is
listless, without energy and without
vitality, he needs Dr. Pierces Gulden
Medical Discovery. If he keeps on
working with his liver inactive and
his blood impure—he keeps his nerves
and his body under a constant nervous
strain. He will not be hearty when
he is old. The Golden Medical Dis

Entertainment in West End.
The Baptist West End chapel had
on Thursday night their annual
Christmas entertainment. It opened
with a hymn, after which a prayer was
offered by the Eev. M. L. Wood. The
program, consisting of recitations,
choruses, duets, quartettes, dialogues,
etc., was very interesting, and was en
joyed by the large crowd present.
The recitation by Miss Margie Parrish
was recited to the satisfaction of all,as
were the pieces by Masters John Yea
ger, and Roland Curry Wood. The
choruses by tbe school are also worth
mentioning. "Good Night" was sung
in closing by a quartette consisting of
the Misses Edna and Bessie Parrish,
R. E. Taylor and Joseph Bass. And
last but not least, the children were
made happy by the distribution of the
candy and oranges.
IT WAS NIP AND TUCK
Between West Virginia Democratic
and Republican Lawmakers.
Charleston, W. Va., Jan. 12.—The
biennial session of the West Virginia
Legislature convened, was organized,
and adjourned today without blood j
shed, but the Republicans earned out
their program of highhanded pro
ceedings indicated in the dispatches of
yesterday, the Senate having a Repub
lican majority of eight, organized, aud
adjourned without particular iin-ident.
The seating cf the two war stridors
was protested against, and the protest
tabled,
In the-House former Clerk K. E.
Hood, Republican, called tint l> -dy to

Bjid Hill, Republican, to tin chair, as
the oldest member from point of ser
vice. According to precedent, he
should have asked Tom Davis, Demo
crat, to preside, as he is the oldest
member in years. The roll of member
ship, as made up by Secretary of State
Dawson, Republican, was presented
and read. It contained the names of
Via, of Monroe county; Spencer, of
Roane, and Brohard, of Taj lor, all
Republicans, who have no certificates
of election and no right wha' ever to
their seats, it is claimed. The mem
bers were called forward to be sworn
in,and the Democrats protested against
these three Republicans being seated.
The temporary Speaker ruled t gainst
them, and would not listen to any of
the questions of point of order or of
privilege which were raised.
RAN HIGH.
Excitement ran high and a stormy
scene resulted. The acting Speaker
ignored the Democrats entirely, al
though they had a majority of three,
and after the members were all sworn
in they organized the House. The
ruling of Temporary Speaker Hill was
more arbitrary aud autocratic than
that of Czar ReeJ in the House of
Representatives in his best daj s. As
Boon as the officers were elected, with
O- S. McKinney, Speaker, and W. E,
R. Byrne, Clerk, the House adjourned
until 10 o'clock tomorrow.
The Democrats will formulate plans
of retaliation for unseating the three
Republicans who haveuo credentials.

day night about 10 o'clock by a large
fite down the river, tbe reflection of
j which lit up the country for miles
! around. Investigation discovered it
to be the fine residence of Mrs. Simeon
Coyner on her farm near town. A
colored man and family, consisting of
wife and several children, occupied
ra jius in rear of the building. Several
members of the family had retired
when the fire was accidentally ducov
ered in the roof of tbe house. The
family barely escaped with their liyes
and lost all their effects. The
house was originally a brick one and
was built by Jacob Koiner, the great
grandfather of the present Howard D.
Coyner, over a hundred years ago. I
The house was added to some j ears I
ago by Mrs. Simeon Coyner, the pres-1
ent owner, and made one of the hand-l
somest residences in the county. Tbe
house was insured in the Augusta I

to have originated from a defective

I pared with the September statement-1
_ In military prisons an offender is some
times sentenced to carry cannon balls from
one place to another and pile them up all
day long. That is all. Perhaps it does not
seem very terrible but it soon wears his
life out. It is practically a death sentence,
and he knows it; he would rather be shot.
Many a sick man feels the same way about
the burden of disease that he is lugging
bL-.ek and forth from day to day. He would
as soon be down with a mortal disease. It
will come to that sooner or later.
A man's life can be dragged out by
dyspepsia and liver complaint. The ex
perience of Mr. J. T. Can.well, of Fall
Creek Depot, Pittsylvania Co., Va shows
how Dr. Pierces Golden Medical Discov
ery saves people from consumption by
waking up their nutritive organism and
giving it power to supply pure, healthy
blood, which drives out blood poisons and
dead tissues and builds up sound, whole
some flesh and muscle.

letter to Dr. Pierce, " to write you of the ________
benefits derived ironi the use of Dr. Pierce*
Golden Medical Discovery and little ' Ivllets '

which baffled the skill of <iw u ( , he .*.,,, phy :

Tho ouswer to my inquiry advised me to use
Golden Medical Discovery' and 'Pellets' for
indigestion and liver complaint; at thin time
two months had passed. In two or three days
alter 1 had commenced the use of your medi
cine my cough hn.d entirely stopped, mv diges
tion was bett.f, my \em spirits driven away and
I ten new life „nd vigor v.\ my whole body."
This tnarvelovis "Discovery" makes
nerve force and rugged power. It is far
better than oily emulsions ; it does not
make flabby fat, it does not increase the
weight of corpulent people.
