ROANOKE, V.J... June 14...Special..Atelephone message from Covertale to- ?

night says that there are no new develop- jments in the case of the supposed assaultof Miss Keister, of Blacksburg, and Miss (Linkenhoker, of Botetourt county, o;r Uisc ?

Saturday evening. It «'.vas at llrst sup- Iposed to be an accident, as reported inTiie Times when it occurred, but later [developments show that it was probably ja ease of assault.

2iliss Keister Is in a very critical coach- jtion, but shows signs «jÍ improvement tu- Jnight. The» story that troops had been jcalled out and trouble expected, is not to j.be relied upon from information just re- jeeived over the telephone. ?

FOUND L'NCONSCIOVS.The young ladies were found lying on I

ttie road between C and 7 o'clock in an un- '

conscious condition. jTho horse and buggy -was a hali-miie j

further on. jMiss Keister was taken to Mr. Richard- ?

son's nearby, and Miss Linkenhoker was jcarriel to her home. The latter became jconscious, but to this day. is unable to say «

how it was she was found in the road,She has no recollection of the horse run- jning away, but she does recall that shehad placed her pocket-book on the seat jbetween them, and that the evening· beingwarm both had laid their hats in the Ibuggy. Tho pocket-book was (found on the jseat «and the hats where they were placed.People from the neighborhood reason thatif the horse had run away so rapidly as |to have -thrown the ladies out, the pocket- jbook and hats would have- been moved.

SAW IA MAN" HIT HER.It is said that Miss Keister regained con¬

sciousness a few minutes several daysago. and when asked how it happenedsaid a black .man struck her with a towel,On the side of the road, near where Uieywere foun-1, was a white sock with a rockin it, and creases showed where it hadbeen held in the hands, and loading to it.were foot prints. Some people say thissling-shot was seen there before the trag¬edy or accident, but others say it was

not.It would seem also that Miss Linken¬

hoker would have known if the horses had

started to run, would have been consciousof being thrown out of the buggy, whilea sudden blow would not be so easily re¬

ca: led.There are all kinds of reports ccir.ing

from Cloverdale, and the affair is alto¬

gether a mystery, which ft is feared will

remain unravelled, as Miss Keister's con¬

dition is sudi there is little hope that shewill recover.

lor Virginia.

The regular meeting of the Board of

Directors of tl-.e Richmond Chamber of

Commerce for the month of June was

held yesterday evening at t) o'clock. Pres¬ent: Mr. L. Z. Morris (president), Mr.

H. L. Cabell (first vice-president), andMessrs. Thomas L. Alfriend, J. B. Antrim,M. A. Chambers, F. H. Beane, J. C. Free¬

man, O. H. Funsten, R. A. Daneaster, Jr.,and N. R- Savage, directors.A report was submitted from the Com¬

mittee on conventions requesting theBoard of Directors to authorize this com¬

mittee to extend an invitation, in the name

of tho Chamber to a number of organiza¬tions which It was thought very desirableto have hold their next annual meetings iuthe city of Kichmond. Upon motion ofMr. ?. H. Funsten, the authority askedwas given to the Committee, on Conven¬tions, lu this connection an invitationhaving been already extended to the Be¬nevolent Protective Order of Elks, to holdits annual convention in Richmond in 1.01,the Chair was requested to appoint a

suitable committee representing the Cham¬ber, to attend the convention of Elks atAtlantic City in July, for the purpose ofco-operating with the committee represent¬ing the Order of Elks in this city.

AS TO MAIES.Mr. N. R. Savnge, chairman of the Com¬

mittee on Postal and Telegraph Service,to which the question of facilitating the de¬livery of mail matter had been referred,read a letter from Mr. Thomas W. Viek-ers. superintendent of Railway Mail Ser¬vice, under date of the 11th instant, in re¬

ply to one from the Chamber of the SthInstant, in regard to railway postofltces onthe Seaboard morning train between Rich¬mond and Durham, N. C, and he readfrom a morning paper a statement thatthis service would be established on or aboutJuly 1st, next. He also reported that tiieforce at xhe postonico would be enlargedby Uie addition of two clerks and two car¬

riers, but he proceeded to say that thiswould not materially relieve the situationas to tue delivery of the Northern mail.which was due to the arrival of mail fromother directions at about the same time,and especially the Norfolk and Western¡mail, which instead of arriving over theCoast Line at 7:35 A M., -when due, camein very frequently on the 5:43 A. M. train,just about the time when the Northernmail arrived. He therefore gave it as theconciusion of the committee, that xheireffcrts should first be directed toward se¬

curing the prompt arrival of the Norfolkand AVestern mail at 7:35 A. M. Aftersome discussion of the subject by CaptainF. H. Deune and others, the matter was

continued in the hands of the committee,with the rectuest that they use their beetefforts to secure the relief desired.The Secretary then laid before the

meeting communications from the Direc¬tor of the Census at Washing¬ton, and also one from Mr. J.A. Me Laughlin. special agent forRichmond, "Manchester and Petersburg inreference to the question of including inthe report of Richmond industries themanufacturing establishments situatedjust outside of the corporate limits ofthe city, which correspondence was re¬

ferred to the Chamber's Committee on.

Manufactures for such action as it mightbe best to tak° In the premises.

EXPRESS RATES.The President also called the attention

of the meeting to the need of a printedschedule of express rates, the complaintbeing made that charges frequently didnot appear to be uniform upon packagesof like weight transported the same dis¬tance. This question was referred to theCommittee on Express Service with therequest that they use their Influence to

have a tariff of rates published by tlieexpress companies, which could be placedin the hands of every shipper.Mr. Henry L. Cabell moved that a

letter from the Chamber be sent to theHonorable Secretary of the Navy earnest¬ly requesting that one of the battleships,which it has been recently announcedwould be built, shall be named' after Vir¬ginia, which motion was unatiimouslycarried.

"Messrs. George F. and T. D. Newell,builders, proposed by Mr. W. A. Cren-shaw, were then elected members of theChamber.There being no further business before

the Board it then adjourned.

most skinful manner, and was often loudlyapplauded.The "llerdman's Home,'' rendered by

tho High School Cnorus, was a most at¬

tractive part ot tne programme ana elicitedwell-deserved applause.

A VF.KY AtSUlS ?^?'?'??.?'..the uisunguisnea speaK»r, who is tne

Professor of English LUehuture at the

University of Virginia, was enthusiasti¬cally received, and held his audience spell¬bound whiic he delivered one of the most

scholarly and magnificent addresses ever

heard by Richmond people for some time.

Dr. Kent chose for his subject "Light-headedness and Lightheartedness." »\fter

expressing the pleasure it afforded him to

address ihe graduating class of the Rich¬

mond High School, lie took up his theme

and handled it in a most eloquent and

attractive manner.1 SHOULD DEI BLHNDED.He commended' light heartedhess, but

not of the character that, make men

frivolous and foolish. He then changedthe ligure and dealt with the subject in

a different phase, speaking at length of

the light of the h«.-ad and light of the

heart, and said1 they shoulel be so blend¬

ed as to bring human beings closer to¬

gether, and shed light in the pathway of

each other."Intellectuality," said the speaker, "is

a good thing, but one must know how

to use ît."He said that half the failures in life

resulted from the fact that people didnot shed the light they gathered a'ongthe pathway they tread."Intense heart wisdom," said the

speaker, "saturated with human sym¬

pathy is the kind that people should' cu!-Uvate, ancl that does the world good."

SHOULD SEEK PU ?E LIGHT.He warned his hearers against the cheap

literature of the time, and said that inseoking light the purest and highest or-

der only should be considered.The speaker closed with a brilliant pero¬

ration to the graduating class, and point¬ed out the splendid possibilities whichlie before the young people of the age.

»A.t the conclusion of Dr. Kent's splendidaddress, Hon. Joseph C. Dickerson, chair¬man of the City School Board, deliveredthe certificates and diplomas to the grad¬uates.When Mr. Dickerson had completed his

pleasing task, Professor Thomas an¬

nounced that the Mlllhiser scholarshipmedal for the best examination had beenawarded to Mr. Pleasant L. Conquest,but it was not delivered, as the younggentlemtfvïi was not present.The narr.ï.«î of the graduates were print¬
