'. . -- Sunday, Feb. 23rd, was the fifth anniversary of Rev. R. F. Tredway's pastorate of the Shel by Baptist church and large con gregations attend both services. That these have been busv,useful and fruitful years is shown by the record of the services," mar riages, funerals, etc., during, the live years, -which follows: ; 555 sermons, jsu prayer meetings 71 addresses, making 818 ser vices of this character. During this time there have been 165 ad ditions to thechurch, and he has married 23 couples and conduct ed 42 funeral services. The con tributions by the church reach the handsome sum of $ 11,000.

The fire was soon located and it was apparent that Dr. J. H. Mc Brayer's handsome residence in the western part of town would soon be in ashes. "When the fife was first discovered by thefamily the whole top portion, of the house was in flames and it was with great difficulty that any, of the contents of the dwelling were' saved. The piano and part of the library and other household jroods were saved from two rooms, but none of the parlor furniture and nothing from the other rooms could be gotten out: Tie house burned rapidly. I Dr. McBrayef cannot give an accur ate estimate of the loss. There was $2,000 insurance" on the house and $1,000 on the fur niture. Among the valuables re ported lost was a pearl, worth $1,000, and silverware to the value of $1,500 was destroyed.

Mr. IJonss was sixty years old. As a merchaut and philanthropist he enjoyed a fame that was iuter national. In mauy respects he was one of the most picturesque figures in 2sew York's business world.

A few years later be came to New York, aud from small means developed the great business which he personally man aged until his death. Several years ago Mr. Eouss was stricken with blinduess. Since. then his struggle to recover his eyesight ha3 been a most pathetic incident iu his career. He made a standing offer of 1,000,000 to any person who would restore bis sight, lie found a man John F. Martin who was stricken with a similar paralysis of the optic nerve from which he suffered.

Tbiee years ago Mr. Konss erected a magnificent mausoleum at his country home near Win chester, Va. It cost 8100,000. His remains will be taken there for intermeut. - Mr. Rouss was best known to the people of the country because of his philauthropy. No man from his Dative State, Virginia, ever ap plied to him for employment with out gettiug a position. He gave thousands aud tens of thousands to funds ot vanousue8criptions. Mauy veterans of the civil war have been kept from want because of bis generosity. lie gave $30,000 to -the city of Winchester to increase the inadequate water supply. Other thousands were devoted for the laudable purpose of improving and beautifjiug the cemetery at Winchester.- lie established a competitive art scholarship in Paris open to Southern students. Of his noteworthy gifts one was of 8100,000 to the University of erect a memorial ball, or battl ab bey, in honor of the bravery of the men who "sacrificed their lives in their devotion to the lost cause." Mr. Eouss had his triumphs and with them bis sorrows. Gie of the greatest of these was the riv atb of his favorite son, C. H. B. Eouss, who had been his constant com panion. A splendid monument marks the grave of the dead son in Mt. Hebion cemetery in Win chester. His wife died in 1899. A tnaRificeut mausoleum marks her restiug place in Winchester.
