ST. LOUIS, September 2O.-United States
Senator Lewis V. Bogy died at. ii O'Clock

State Legislature OF Missouri; was Com
missioner of Indian Affairs in 1867 and
1858; while practicing law devoted much OF
his time and large means to develop the
mineral resources Of his native State; was

4, 1873. His term OF service would have ex-

Prince Bismarck and Count Andrassy at
Salisbury Is to be regarded as seqnel OF
the recent interview between the Austrian
and German Emperors as merely strength-

the two soYereigns regarding the contln-

cured without formal treaty stipulatlons,

BISMARCK, ASDRAsSAY, AND THE EASTERN

LONDON, September 20.-The Vienna cor
respondent OF the Times, whose informa-
ton on diplomatic matters is conspicu-
ousIy accurate and thorough, makes the
following comment on the conference at Sal
isburg. between Bismarck and Andrassey :
It's importance ought not to be moderated,
not only as regards Germany and Austria,
but touching the Eastern question itself.
The triple alliance, about the extent or
non-extent of which there has been so
much talk, had indeed become woeful an
chorism since Russia stepped out OF 1t and
took her own line; but it must not be
forgotten that it had another, perhaps
deeper meaning; and as regards that Chap

Captain +. N. Wright, who died In this
city on Tuesday, had recently policy OF
Insurance on his life in the New York
EauitabIc for $4,000. Owing to pecuniary
reyerses he felt himself unable to keep up
the policy, which had been running for
wears. and in the early part OF last month
opened correspondence with the COM
pany with view to its surrender. This
correspondence was concluded last week,
and on Saturday the policy was forwarded
10 the company. This morning two days
after the death OF Captain Wright check
for the cash value OF the surrendered poll
cv. amounting to somewhat less than $1,000,
was received.
II i stated that the late =. f. Pollard.
who was thrown from buggy and killed
on Monday night. had policy OF $4,000 IN
the New York Mutual.
The Conservative mass-meeting in Dim
widdie county. which renominated DR.. E.
c. Powell for the House OF Delegates, was
very fully attended, and every portion OF
the county was represented. Though there
was much division OF sentiment in the
matter OF the nomination, there was none
in regard to the resolutions adopted. These
dcclare-1st, in favor OF reimbursement Of
the public debt, so "a to bring the
interest within the means OF the State to
pay, without any increase OF taxation; 20,
in favor OF retrcnchment and reform in the

crnments. and a reduction OF the expenses
OF the same; Sd. requesting the representa-
tive from Dinwiddic to advocate such lesis-
lation rs will produce these results, and, il
necessary for tue purpose, to advocate a
convention to amend the State Constitution.
An undivided support was pledged to the
nominee.
No sympathy IS felt in this portion Of
Chesterfield with the movement OF the dis
affected Conservatives who meet at the
courthouse Tomorrow, and no support
worth speaking Of can be counted on in
favor OF independent action. The regular
nominees for the House OF Delegates will
be voted for.
The large increase OF attendance at the
public schools this session will doubtless
ncccs>itate the appointment OF additional
teachers.
