DAMAGE DONE TO
t SOOTH'S FRUIT
Growers in Southeast Georgia Will not
Get Single Shipment of Peaches.
OTHER CROPS ARE HURT BY FREEZE
Truck Farms, Yonng Cotton and Corn Laid
Low in Some Sections?An Inch of ice
at Radford and Frnit Endangered.
Bristol, Tenn., April 17.?Snow fell
at intervals this morning in southwest
Virginia. Although the temperature
was three degrees below freezing, there
was no frost, and it is not thought ser?
ious damage has been done to the fruit
crops.
r Radford, Va., April 17.?The ther?
mometer fell to 28 last night and ice
froze an inch thick. Phone reports
from various parts of the county differ
widely as to the damage done to the
fruits. Some of the farmers think that
the fruit is killed. Others say it is in?
jured but slightly, and that tonight is
the critical time. If the wind lays all
the fruit will be killed.
Former Governor Tyler, who is deep?
ly interested in farming, seems hopeful
that the damage is not great.
Columbus, Ga., April 17.?There was
considerable frost here and in this sec-1
tionthis morning and a good deal of
young cotton was killed. Young vege?
tables were killed. It is cold tonight
and frost tomorrow morning would not
be surprising.
Fort Valley, Ga., April 17.-The fruit
in this section is not damaged to any
appreciable extent. The heavy winds
of Saturday night and Sunday had so
thoroughly dried everything that there
- was little frost except in low and ex?
posed places. Beans are reported kill?
ed and some tomato plants. W. C.
Wright, an extensive planter here, says
that his peaches are not hurt. W. W.
Henderson states that he has made a
careful examination today and finds no
damage. Some peaches were hurt by
the frost of ten days ago, but the dam?
age is small and from present indica?
tions there will be a large crop in this
section.
Columbia, S. C, April 17.-A killing
frost which spread practically all over
South Carolina this morning, has done
great damage to the peach crop in a
section of this state known as the
* 'ridge. ' ' Although the amount of dam?
age will be hard to estimate for some
time, it is certain that the crop wit) be
very much depleted. Great damage
was also done to truck and to all ten?
der vegetables. The frost this morning
was several days later than the record.
Charlotte, N. C,, April 17.?A special j
from Newbern, N. C., says: "The!
frost last night worked great damage
to all truck crops in this vicinity, Re?
ports from Craven, Carteret, Pamlico,
Jones and Onslow are to the effect that
the potato crop is ruined and that beans
have been killed except where protect?
ed. Ice formed here, and in some sec?
tions in this region is reported a quar?
ter of an inch thick. The mercury reg?
istered 31. The extent of the financial
loss is estimated at thousands of dol?
lars.
Gainsville, Ga., April 17.-Almost the
entire peach crop in northeast Georgia
was killed by last night's freeze. Grow?
ers state that there will not be enough
grown for a single shipment. Vegeta?
tion of all kinds was hurt. The ther
y mometer registered 29 degrees and ice
was half an inch thick.
Americas, Ga., April 17.-A killing
frost covered this entire section this
morning, doing immense damage to
truck farms and field crops. A great J
deal of young cotton is reported killed,
and the entire crop stunted to consid- J
?rable degree. All varieties of vegeta- ?
bles were more or less injured, the more
tender plants being killed outright.
Thin ice was visible in low damp places.
The extent of the injury done the peach
orchards, If any, eannot yet be deter?
mined, though hope is expressed that
heavy foliage probably protected the
fruit. Fear is entertained of further
damage tonight as the weather is clear
and very cold.

Fort De France, April 15.? On the
9th and 10th of April Mont Pelee was

BOYS STAMPEDE
FOUR ARE KILLED
False Alarm of Fire Throws Indian
opolis Newsies into a Fatal
Panic.
CROWDED INTO NARROW STAIRWAY.
Crushed to Death Under Weight of Terror
Stricken Youths?Several More May
Die-They Scrambled for Passes.
Indianapolis, Ind., April 17.?Fren?
zied by a false alarm of fire, several
hundred news boys struggled to obtain
free tickets to a show by a patent med?
icine advertising company, stampeded
in a narrow stairway in the Masonic
Temple tonight, crushing the life out of
four boys and probably fatally injuring
several other children.
Long before the time appointed for
the distribution of free tickets the stairs
of Masonic Temple at the southwest
corner of Washington street and Capi?
tol avenue, were crowded with a push?
ing, yelling crowd of children, mostly
news boys, each anxious to be first to
receive a pass. When the distribution
began the excitement, became more in?
tense and the efforts of several police?
men to maintain order were unavailing.
It is alleged by a witness that one of
the boys in an endeavor to hasten the
exit of those who had received passes,
shouted "fire!" At this instant boys
began to force a way to the bottom of
the steps. Shrieks and physical en?
counters followed and those at the top
became so closely entangled that the
mass of boys fell in a mass at the bot?
tom of the stairs.
Policemen from the central station re?
sponded to a riot call and began to ex?
tricate the smothering boys. Four boys
were dead when uncovered. The boys
fought desperately to get free and
dozens were injured by the first crush
or were hurt by the subsequent scram?
ble for air.
An immense crowd of people attracted
by the wild shouts jostled about the
mass of boys and aided in the work of
the ambulance corps. The dead were
sent to a morgue for identification. The
seriously injured were sent to a hospital,
while many who suffered slight injuries
were sent home. ?
LATE WAR NEWS.
London, April 17.?A dispatch from
Hongkong late this afternoon says that
a portion of the Russian fleet has reach?
ed a bay in the China Sea north of
Hongkong. The report shows that Ad?
miral Rojestvensky and Admiral Togo
are now but a short distance apart, and
that the Russian admiral is rushing
steadily on to challenge the Japanese
fleet to battle.
The seizure by the Japanese of Rus?
sian colliers is believed to have spirited
Admiral Rojestvensky on to the fight.
Hongkong, April 17.?The steamer
Brynhilde arrived this morning and re?
ports that she was held up by the Rus?
sian warships Friday sixty mites north
of Cape Padaran. After searching her
papers she was allowed to proceed. The
captain counted thirty-three Russian
warships in the fleet, to which three
cruisers were attached. The warships
were steaming northeast at the rate of
ten knots, near Cape Padaran, on the
coast of Cochin China, about one hun?
dred and fifty miles northeast of Saigon.
St. Petersburg, April 17.?A large
number of naval officers have been or?

Mrs. Danz Must Hany.
Philadelphia, April 17.?By a vote of
five to two, the supreme court today
decided that Mrs. Catherine Danz must
hang for the murder of her husband,
William G. Danz. George P. Hossey,
a colored voodoo doctor, has also receiv?
ed the death sentence for the part he
took in the murder of Danz. Danz died
under peculiar circumstances and a
post-mortem examination of the re?
gains revealed the fact that he had
died of arsenical poisoning. Both Mrs,
Danz and Hossey were arrested charged
with the murder of Danz. The woman
testified that she had bought powders
from Hossey and administered them to
her husband for the purpose of curing
?he drink habit. She claimed not to
have known ?he contents of the pow?
ders, Hossey was first placed op trial
and convicted of having sojd powders
containing arsenic and which, the prose?
cution alleged, killed Danz. At the con?
clusion of Hossey's trial Mrs. Danz was
tried on the charge of murder for hav?
ing administered the poisonous powders.
She was also convicted and both were
sentenced to, be hanged. An appeal
WSI faken to the supreme court by the
womai.'.-: counsel, but today's decision
legves only the pardon board between
the woman and the gallows.

University of California has been offered

JOHN PAUL JONES' BODY FOUND
TAUT AFTER 100 YEARS
Ambassador Porter's Five Years' Sea
in Paris is Rewarded. Corpse In
Alcohol in Leaden Cofflin
Paris, April 14.- The body of J<
Paul Jones, founder of the Amerii
navy has been found after a remarka
search. The credit belongs to Ambas
dor Porter, who has directed the sea
for five years. The body has not o
been found, but was identified today
the highest French medical experts.
The body is well preserved, consid
ing that it was interred more than
years ago.
Ambassador Porter cabled to Wa:
ington tonight announcing his succe
When Congress recently took no act:
upon the President's *recommendati
for the expenses incident to the sean

labors at his own expense. A lar
force of workmen has been engag

constituted a huge operation, embracii
nearly a block covered with buildin
and requiring a system of subterrane;
mining. '
IN A LEADEN COFFIN.
Hundreds of wooden caskets we
found, but not until Wednesday we
unearthed four leaden coffins which ga'
promise of containing the body of tl
admiral. Three of them bore nan
plates. The fourth showed a superi
Solidity of workmar ship. No plate w;
found on this coffir, and it is suppos<
was removed when another was supe
imposed on it.
The leaden coffin was opened in tl
presence of General Porter, Colon
Bailey-Blanchard. the second s?cr?tai
of the American Embassy and Engine?
Weis, who has been directing the e:
cavations. The body was found to 1
well preserved, owing to its being in
mersed in alcohol. It was wrapped i
a sheet with a packing of straw an
hay. Those present were immediate]
struck with the resemblance of the hea
to that on the medallions and busts c
Admiral Jones.
As was anticipated, no uniform, dec
oration or sword were found, as all sue
articles had been accounted for afte
the burial of Jones.
The coffin is shaped like the mumm;
coffins which were common at that pe
riod, widening from the feet to th
ahoulders with a round top fitting ove
the head.
The coffin was taken to the medica
school, where Drs. Captain and Papil
laut, distinguished professors of th?
school of anthropology and recognize?
authorities on such investigations, wer?
charged with making a thorough exami
nation for the purpose of identification,
To facilitate this the Ambassador fur
uished them with portraits and medal?
lions, two busts by Houdin and authen?
tic descriptions of the color of the ad?
miral's hair and the height and meas?
urement of his body,
PROOFS OF IDENTITY.
After the most minute examination
the following facts werefully substanti?
ated:?
Length of the body 5 feet 7 inches,
the admiral's exact height.
Size and shape of the head agree with
several peculiarities identical with the
head of the admital.
Hair dark brown, the same as the ad?
miral's, in places slightly gray, indica?
ting a person of his age, 45 years. The
hair is long, reaching below the shoul?
ders, and is combed back and gathered
in a clasp at the back of the neck.
Face clean shaved, corresponding ex?
actly with the descriptions, portraits
and busts of the admiral,
The linen is in good condition. One
article bears the initial either '"J" or a
inverted "P."
The body was carefully packed. The
limbs were wrapped in tinfoil presuma?
bly for sea transportation, as indicated
in a letter of the Admiral's nearest
friend and pallbearer at his funeral,
Colonel Blackden, who said:?
"His body was put in a leaden 'coffin
so that in case the United Status, which
he had so essentially served, should
claim his remains they might be more
easily removed."
ACTUALLY MADE AUTOPSY.
Finding that all the internals organs
were singularly well preseved the doc?
tors made an autopsy which showed dis?
tinct proofs of the disease from which
the Admiral is known to have died.
The identification was pronounced
complete in every particular.
The body will be placed in a hand?
some coffin and deposited in the receiv
ing vault of the American Church on
Avenue De l'Aima, until Ambassador
Porter can learn the opinion of the
Government concerning the most appro?
priate means of transporting it to the
United United States and giving a fit?
ting sepulchre to the body of the illus?
trious sailor whose place of burial had
BO long remained a mystery.
HOME MISSION MATTER.
Mrn. H. G. Perry, Editor.
The missionary movement is growing
and developing in our own land and in
many foreign countries. Some of the
best educated young men and young
women in the South and elsewhere are
giving their lives to this great work and
shall wo who have reaped the benefit of
living in a land of Bibles and churches
and in a land of plenty, as we Tazewell
people enjoy, still treat this important
subject with indifference. It is true
that some of us give a small portion of
our time and our money to missions, but
the ones who do the most do not do
enough, and alas! how many are there
who do nothing at all? The day is past
when civilized people object to missions,
either home.or foreign, so that we must
conclude that it is indifference which
causes such ajack of effort on the part
of our people.
As the Eastertide is drawing near,
when we celebrate the resurrection of
our blessed Lord, let us renew our alle?
giance to Him, and let us especially in
our Home Mission Society be more faith?
ful in work and in prayer that we may
have some part in bringing about the
great and glorious time when our peo?
ple shall be saved from their sins.

London, April 18.--Dispatches re?
ceived here this morning from Hong
Kong and Manila indicate that Admiral
Togo has Admiral Rojestvensky in a
trap from which there is little chance
for extricating himself, and in the
meantime the Japanese are playing
havoc with his colliers and supply ships
The path to the north is through For?
mosa straits and the waters are liter?
ally sowed with mines, making it suici?
dal for Rojestvensky to attempt to go
in that direction. Ile ig cut oft from

Admiral Togo's fleet is in touch with
the Russian fleet and the Japanese
scout ships are raiding the colliers and
depriving the Russian admiral of the
necessary coal, which will prevent his
sailing to the Pacific without a battle.
According to the latest advices, kbs
Russian fleet is divided into two divi?
sions. One is located in Turan bay and j
the other off Hong Kong. Togo's fleet
is concentrated and he can attack either
Russian division with a superior force.
The indications now are that Rojest?
vensky is in a very precarious position
and that it will be nothing short of a
miracle if he escapes without the loan
of his, entire fleot to the Japanese ad?
miral.
Singapore, April 18.?The Russian

Tokio, April 18.?Taugara strait, the,
eastern entrance to the Japan sea and |
the port of Vladivostok has been pro,
claimed to be within the Japanese zone
of defense aud the usual restrictions
have been placed upon navigation there, j
The strait is almost directly east pf
Vladivostok which is Rojestvensky's
ultimate place of refuge.
Japanese papers say the neutrality
law is being violated by the Russian
fleet being in Kamranh bay, and insist
that Russia is using that point as a base
of operations against the Japanese fleet.

my judges. ? am your prisoner. We
have a civil war; I am a prisoner of
war, not a criminal."
Twelve witnesses were examined.

"Execute your judgment as openly as
I have acted before the eyes of all."
