treasurer and the holders of the Virginia
State bonds in Richmond, yesterday,
reports were submitted by the governor
and treasurer and the committee ap-
pointed to consider the same and report.
Hon. Hugh M'CullOch, late secretary of
the United States treasury, made a
speech, representing the views of the
holders Of Virginia bonds in England.
He stated that the foreign bondholders
were inclined to be lenient toward the
State. Nothing more is known Of the
governors report than that it gave the
most wOeful picture of the peeuniary
condition of the State.
Five Of the citizens ofSt. Msrtinsville,
Louisiana, arrested under the enforce |
ment act, gave bonds in New Orleans |
yesterday, for their appearance before |
| the United States circuit court in that |
city on the second Monday in January. |
There was but one affidavit made in |
these cases, and that by colOred man |
| named John Hest, in which the Ac- |
cused are charged with acts of intimids- |
| ton toward him at the election polls, |
and whereby Hest says he suffered |
| heavy damages from the loss Of his cot |
ton crop, alleging that he was through |
! fesr Of his life compelled to leave home. |
J At the conference between the gov
ernOr and State treasurer and the hold |
ers of Virginia bonds, in Richmond yes |
! terday, in the State senate-chamber, re-
representatives. OF the press were refused |
admission, except one who carried a |
| package of State bonds. Governor |
| Kemper endeavored to exact promise |
| from him not to publish the proceedings, |
which he refused, claiming the right to
be present as bOndholder. The meet |
! ing being organized, q resolution was |
adopted to go into secret session, and |
binding each member not to divulge |
the proceedings. The BODYBUILDING re- !
porter then retired.
A London telegram has the follow |
ing: "The Mark Lane Express Gays the |
weather the past week has been mild. |
Roots, which at one time seemed hope |
less, now show quite crop. Owing to |
the recent moisture, there is apprehen- |
sion lest vegetation go on too fast, and |
be injured by frost. Wheat-sowing is |
nearly over. Every European port is |
open, and shipments are FASTENED. For |
eigu arrivals and dampness Of the |
weather operate against the advance in !
the price of wheat. Not one European |
market notes rise, while in many there !
has been a fall of shilling. Continent |
al spectators and shippers are hanging |
back, Notwithstanding the reduction in |
freights."
At Pittsburg yesterday morning an |
application was made to the supreme |
court for an injunction to restrain the
Southwest Pennsylvania railroad COM
pany from crossing or trespassing on the
car-sh0p property of the Pittsburg and |
COnnellsville railroad company at Con-
nellsville, and was refused. Since April
last the Southwest railroad company has
been trying without success to obtain an
Injunction restraining the Connellsville
company from interfering. Without any
notification whatever, yesterday after
noon the associate judges Of Fayette
county granted the Southwest company
an injunction restraining the Connells-
vile company from interfering with
them. Considering the latter company
owns the property in question this seems
rather strange.
The American Public Health associa-
ton begun its third public meeting yes

tory remarks by President Smith, Pro-
fessor Henry HartshOrn delivered the
address of welcome, and read paper on
infant mortality in cities. He proposes
that summer camps be provided outside
of all large cities for mothers with young
infants.
Very nearly complete returns of the
late election in Minnesota show the
Republican State ticket elected by over
five thousand majority. Dunnell,
Republican, for congress in the
first district, is elected by three
thousand four hundred and one
majority. w. S. King, Republican
for congress in the third district has two
thousand three hunred and eleven ma
jority, with few precints to hear from.
In the second district the result is still
uncertain. Straight, Republican candi-
date for congress, has two hundred and
seven majority and is probably elected,
but it is possible that subsequent returns
may defeat him and elect E. st. John
Cox. The legislature is Republican by
thirty. seven majority on joint ballot,
but in this count are included several
independent Republicans and anti-mon-
Opolists whose votes are uncertain.
The woods between Union City, Ten
nessee, and Hickman, Kentucky, are all
ablaze, and the fire is rapidly extend
ing, and is burning down fences, de-
strOying hay and other provender in the
fields, and in many instances encroach-
ing on farmhouses. For ten solid miles ,
out OF Union City forest trees which have
stood the test of ages are being rapidly
devoured, as well as the dead timber cut
down to make way for the planting of :
cereals. The smoke is so dense that
when driven to the earth by the wind it +
is almost sufcating. On this account \
some Of the citizens living in this par 1
tlcular vicinity fear to go to sleep lest
they should be sufocated by it, af iC per-
vades every nook and corner of the !
buildings. The people are praying for
speedy rain, which is now their only
hope, Unless it should come soon, there
is no telling to what proportions ii will
extend nor what losses will be sustained.i
The woods are also on fire in the vicin-
ity OF Dickson, on the Nashville and
Northwestern road, but it is thought it
will not result in any great damage I'M
less heavy gale should spring up. /
Should this occur, the consequences will
be serious TO some of the grangers in
that locality.
