The PRorosED VOLUNTEER CoRPs.-I i;

The PROPOSED VOLUNTEER CoRPs.-It is
much to be regretted that the attempt to Or
gauize military company here, made some
true since, failed. The decorous observance OF
public festivities needs such organizations as
part of the 'pomp and circumstance which
become such occasions, and there are frequent
times when the Hunted numbers of the po-
lice force that the town is able to maintain needs
to be backed by a trained corps capable OF pre-
serving the public peace on occasions-happlly
few in our local history-when large bodies of
men are urged into violations of the public
peace and require the exertions of other large
bodies of men to restrain them. 1t is hoped
that there will be a renewed effort made to
achieve this desirable object. The first ct
fort would have been successful under the CIR
cumstanceS that before the war surrounded our
former military organizations. The vigorous
conditions of the new law governing military
organizations required in one company more
men aud more costly equipment than sutflced
formerly to maintain two or three volunteer
companies The town has had It's periods IN
which a considerable number Of volunteer mill
tary corps could be maintained, and like peri
DDS when years would pass without single
military organization. La 1893 the hrst volun-
teer company was organized in Alexandria at
Mr.. Albert's Tavern. The Blues, the indie
pendent Blues, the Light Infantry, the Latay-
cite Light Infantry. the independent Eolun-
teers the Alexandria Dragons, the Home
Guards, the Sharpshooters, and Rifle Guards
were as we'll known to the fathers Of the pres
ent generation as were the Mount Vernon
Guards, the Alexandria Rihemen, the Ola DO
minion Riaemen, and the AleSandrla Artillery
at later day There must still exist here ma
teria for fine volunteer organization, ard 1t Is
hoped that it will sonn be organized.

Another Mysterious Murder
NEW YORK.

New YORK, September 29.--This
city came near having another twelfth
of July riot, this morning, on the occa'
sion of the departure of St. Patrick's
Mutual Alliance Society for Jersey City
to take part in the ceremony Of laying
church corner stone by Bishop
Bayles. The police, acting under the
procession act, refused permission to
the society to parade with music and
regalia, but they were given to under
stand that they could do so withou,
these. Yesterday they were given
to understand that they could moi
march throug the city with music
The members OF the organization as
sembled at their headquarters this
morning, numbering in all some eight
thousand men. The organization il
made up principally Of day laborers
The presence of a large force OF police
intimidated them, although a propo'
sition was made to march in spite o.
the authorities. For q time matters
looked bad and the police on hand tel
egrapbed to headquarters. The officers
of the societies, fearing bloodshed
ordered general disbsndAent and
put as many men as possible into horse
cars and led others by different routes
to the Jersey City ferry. The St: Pat,
rick's men are greatly incensed and
propose to hold mass meeting at once
to protest against the interference with
the parade by the police.

handed an English gentleman an
opened letter at public dinner table,
and excused himself for opening 1t by
saying it was a mistake.
When he learned that General Star
ring had been dispatched to investigate
his conduct, Butler used every epdeavor
to get him under his influence, but the
General was not to be beguiled from his
duty. Starring evsded meeting with
Butler by avoiding a landing at Alexan'
dris, entering Egypt through another
port. 1t is said hat many facts re-
garding this mans career were never
brought out even to General Starring,
through the Oriental fear of those pos
sessing them of being involved in the
affair. A Frankish official ls great
parsonage here, and many natives feared
that if it became known that thev had
testified against him bis mslignity
would be so great that he would perse-
cute them to such an extent that they
could not live in the country. There
has been continual season of rejoicing
since he took his flight, and it is hoped
(above all by all Americans here) that
he may yet be brought TO trial for his
completely in the cowardly attempt TO
murder Major Campbell.

The Recent Trouble Between the

The Recent Trouble Between the
whites aud Blacks.
NEWARK, N. j., September 29.-The
investigation into the riot between the
whites and negroes, last Saturday, thus
far, reveals the fact that the negroes
were the iustigators OF the trouble and
evidence has been sdduced to show
that Joe Warren and Charles Perkins,
two negroes, were the principal leaders.
Both of them have fed, it is believed,
to Alexandra, Va, where several 9TH
ers are. believed to have gone. The
county authorities are actively engaged
in the search for them. A"large mum.
ber of arrests have been made. Sew.
eral witnesses we're examined yesterday:
An adjournment took place until
Wednesday.

Let me see the money he paid for

The clerk recollected the bill, which
was q s. note, new and crisp.
'"This is counterfeit" said the police
man, land l want you to appear before
the Justice tomorrow morning at sine
o'clock to make complaint against this
man. He is a notorious colnterfeiter
aud has been operating extensively here
and in Philadelphia, but I've taken him
in ut last. Do you fully identity him
as the man who gave you this bill ?
Clerk-He is certainly the man, but
| had no idea it was bad.
Il will take this bill with me for the
prosecution Of the case, and you can
have it if you want it again tomorrow
when you appear at court"
The clerk acquiesced. Haines pro-
duced another five dollar note and Of
fered it to the clerk, assuring him that
he did not know that the money be had
passed was counterfeit, and begging him
not to appear and press the charge.
The clerk was somewhat mollified on
receiving what he supposed to be a
genuine note for the counterfeit and the
bogus policeman took his prisoner
away. The process was repeated at
each place he had visited in the after
noon with the exception of two. At
each place Haines redeemed the coun-
terfeit note by well worn bills, difficult

while the money taken in charge by

After the conclusion of this bold game

SAN FRANCISCO.



SAN FRANCISCO, September 2S.-The
second trial of Mrs. Laura D. Fair, for
the murder of Colonel Crittenden, was
concluded yesterday afternoon. At five
o'clock, the prosecuting attorney having
concluded his argument for the prose-
cution, the judge charged the jury in an
able and impartial address, after which
they retired for deliberation. At six
o'clock his Honor sent q messenger to
the jury room to inquire whether they
had agreed upon a verdict. Answer
was returned that they had not. The
Judge then announced that in order to
allow the jury a chance for agreement,
that they might not be locked up all
night, be would hold court open till
twelve o'clock. A large number Of
spectators remained in the court to hear
the final result OF the trial. At twelve
o'clock the messenger returned from
the jury room with the information that
the jurv had balloted several times,
with the same result, and that there
was little prospect of their agreeing
upon a verdict. The court then adj
journed until this morning.
Immediately after the adjournment
of the court, Mr.. Green, counsel for
Mrs. Fair, withdrew to restaurant
near the court house, for the purpose OF
taking dinner. While drinking a glass
OF water, he was overcome by weak>
ness, and fell pantins to the floor. The
excessive heat of the court room, to-
gether with the mental excitement at
tending his labors during the trial, in
behalf of Mrs. Fair, had thoroughly
prostrated him, and he was scarcely
able to bear up during the close OF the
trial. He was removed to his hotel,
where, at this hour, three A. NJ, he
still lies unconscious.
