GOVERNOR RHARTRANFT AND THE PITTSBURGH
GRAND JURY.-Philadeiphia, October IT,
The Evening 1slegraph'S Pittsburgh special
says: This afternoon at 2 O'Clock argu-
ment was heard before Judge Kirkpatrick,
OF the Criminal Court, on the application
of the grand jury for attachments for Gov
ernor Hartranrt, General Latta, and General
Brinton, who declined to respond to the
subpenas issued requiring them to testify
in reference to the late riots in this city.
Attorney General Lear appeared for the re-
spondents, and claimed that they had no
knowledge except that obtained in their
official capacity, and that such communica-
tions were privileged. He maintained that
he was law officer of the Commonwealth,
and was the officer to decide whether GER
tain prisoner was proper witness to be ex-
amined by the grand jury. He, therefore,
announced that as such he would withdraw
the application for attachments. The grand
jury was represented by Assistant-District-
Attorney Hunter, who controyerted the
views expressed by the Attorney-General.
The court withheld its decision for the
present. i-.- ...

-. A REMARKABLE GAME OF CHEss.-Captain
O. E. Michaelis, United States army, who
has been sojourning in the city during the
past week, is the most skilful cbess-player
in the st. Paul Club, and in fact one Of the
foremost in the country. On Saturday eve
ming last. in one Of the parlors OF the Cos
mopolitan Hotel, he performed feat which
surpassed anything Of the kind that we had
ever witnessed. The Captain was blind
folded, and in that situation played three
games simultaneously against three OF the
most skilful players OF the Helena Club,
winning two and losing one. The contest
occupied about five hours, and excited q
good deal Of interest among the admirers
Of the noble game, quite number Of whom
were present. We understand that Captain
Michaelis has accomplished even more diff
cult task than that Of Saturday evening,
having played blindfolded four games at
the same time, against four OF the best
players in ST., Paul, without losing a single
game. Helena (Mont.) Herald. .,,...,.l

THE LIQUoR-DEALERs AND THE PRIMARY.
There will be meeting OF the Liquor
Dealers Association this evening to receive
the report of the committee appointed to
confer with the workingmen. The COM
mittee OF conference being unable to agree,
it was resolved to report back to their con-
stituent bodies; hence the liquor-desleer,s
tonight will have before them for consid-
Grafton the whole qrestion about partici-
pating in the primary. The prospects are
that they will conclude to make their fight
at the primary. That, at least, is the view
taken by such influential men as George w.
Robinson, Herman Myer, Henry Wester-
heff, John D. Smelling, and Miles G. Crow
dis. .. ...
The Workingmen's Association will hold
its next meeting Thursday night. and the
committee OF conference will come together
on Friday night.
The primary, it will be remembered, takes
place on the 23d. The candidates are to
hand in their names to the secretary OF the
City Committee on or before Saturday.

Portable circumstances. he carried lie
policy in a New York insurance company
for $4,000 in gold or its equivalent,
which was paid over to the admlnlstra-

money was invested in Confederate

Lees surrender. The widow and mother
was unable 10 make q settlement with Klcl-
ardson, and was compelled to sacrifice the
homestead, and came north with her boy to
reside. After the war Mrs. Smith brought
suit for the recovery of her fortune, but
the case was subjected to the laws tortuous

The funeral will take place tomorrow.

DEATH OF WnLIAa WELLS, JR. This
most valuable citizen died at ms residence,
in this city, after O long and painful illness,
at d O'Clock yesterday afternoon. Mr.
Willis was widely known snd esteemed,
and has held posts Of honor and trust In
this community that he has-so credItably
filled that his loss will be regarded as pub
lie as we'll as family afhicbion. a friend
thus speaks of him: at..fi -.
!, "Wefeel impelled by a sense OF Justice
to departed worth to. pay merlted tribute
to his character on this sad occasion; yet
respect for his sentiments OF truthfulness
and simplicity restrains the admiration OF
the heart that loved him 80 well-the warm
appreciations OF the mind that knew his ex-
cellence of character-from 1euiegy OF eX-
cessive praise. We would ask to be guided
by a right conception OF his worth that we
might not be .reproyed were himself the
Judge. But we must be iust-iust to him,
a good man indeed, who has passed away
peacefully and without reproach from
among us. Exact in his dealings with his
feIloW-men, stern in his convictions OF the
rules of Justice, unrcmitting in his dill
gence to duty, benevolent in heart, gentle
in nature, conscientiously religious, affec-
tionate to family and friends, he will be
missed and deplored, and-the place he has
so long filled among them will echo the sad
requiem of Gonel Gonel to many de-
voted friend. r."
sHe was clerk and secretary of the. Vir-
ginia Fire and Marine Insurance Company
for some twenty-seven years, filling his posts
with satisfaction to its directory and stock
holders. About nine months ago he re-
signed in this company and was appointed
secretary OF the Virginia State Insurance
Company, where he hoped for lighter labOrs.
Soon, however, his health gave way, and he
finally resigned his office there several
months since, and has recently rapidly de-
clined in strength until his death, ut which
time be was fully conscious OF his approach
ing end.
GAS an underwater he was happily en-
dowed with a cultivated and logical mind
ready in the decision of questions involving
interest and principal in the conduct Of the
business. He filled other positions in his own
denomination of much responsibility. We
would not stop here, but his friends and the
public will do his memory that credit we
may fail to record"
Mr. Willis was a prominent member Oh
Broad-Street Methodist church, was at one
time superintendent OF the Sunday school,
and until lately was treasurer and q trustee
of Randolph Macon College. He was for
many years an active worker with the
Young Mems Christian Association, and
was foremost in religious enterprises and
charitable undertakings.
