Last night the congregation of the First
Baptist church in this city elected fifty -one
delegates from among the members OF the
church to attend the Baptist Association
which meets in Staunton on "Wednesday
The number of delegates was fixed on the
basis of one for every ten dollars subscribed
by the church to the General Association
fund.
Last night four persons were baptized by
immersion at the First Baptist church, and
four at the Byrne-Street church.
The pulpits of several of the city churches
were filled yesterday by members of the
General Presbyterian Assembly. Rev. DIR.
Wilson, of South Carolina, preached at the
Washington-Stree Presbyterian church to
large and delighted congregation.
The affair between DIR. George Davis and
the infamous Max Marshall continues to ex-
cite much comment. Marshall has notified
Mr.. Davis that he (MarshalD will not pro=e-

in Richmond, provided he (Mr.; Davis will

The TARIFF QUESTION IN THE PREsIbENTiAL
CAMpAIGN-NeU York, May ga call will
appear in to-morrOw's papers for meeting
of free-traders at SteiDway Hall, in this city,
on the 3Uth instant. ut which W. {. Bryant
will preside, and addresses be delivered by
David A. Wells. Edward Atkinson, and
others. The call rectes that the refefenrc
by the Cincinnati Convention of tariff re-
form to the congressional districts was IN
evasion of the issue, and has absoIved free
traders from any obligation to support the
nominees of that Convention, and leaves
them at liberty to support any other ticket.
The call looks directly to organization for
the accomplishment of tariff reform IN tile
coming presidential election. .

FIRE L. PULAsKI.-A short time ago some
mention was made in the newspapers of the
burning of the house of Mr.. Simeon Bryson,
who lives in the suburbs of Newbern. Pu-
k,ski county, Va. Pretty much everything
of value the house contained was destroyed.
The conllaglation was evidently the work of
an incendiary, though no clue was obtained
by which the perpetrator could be detected.
Mr.. Bryson set to work and constructed a
small frame house to take the place of the
one destroyed. A few days ago the new
building was also discovered to he on fire,
but the occupants fortunately succeeded in
Swing it from destruction. 4 little girl from
Bland, named Haven, aged about twelve
years, was accused of the crime. This girl
had lived some time with old Mr.. Bryson,
the only other occupant of the house being
an elderly maiden sister. She finally con-
fessed to having committed the deed, after
several attempts, and also to having burned
the other house. She alleged that she was
urged to the committing Of the crime by an
aunt living in Bland, but for what reason
does not appear. The girl was not arrested
or punished in any way. but simply sent
home to her parents Wytherlle Enter.

notwithstanding "the advice and con-

President. This cOdicil to the treaty OF
Washington, however, was not accepted in
the precise shape in which it was written by
Earl Granville, but in lieu thereof a suhsti-
tute prepared by the Committee on Foreign
Relations was adopted, with imnaterial
modification by the Senate.
The preamble in effect rccites that while
the United States contends that the princi-
pie of indirect claims is covered by the pre-
sent treaty, this Government is willing to
Withdraw the same from the tribunal of arbi-
tration at Geneva in consideration of the
agreement for the future that neither nation
shall be liable for Indirect losses under cir
cumstances where one Is a belligerent and
the other neutral. Nothing now remains
except for the two Governments to exchange
ratiticsltions; after which the United States
will withdraw the consequential claims from
its case when the Geneva Board rcassembles
on the 10th prOXimO. After that the arbi-
tlation will proceed on the issue of direct
losses alone. The vote in the Senate shows
