Master Bingham's Entertainment for the
Poor of Manchester.-MasterR Ralph Bing-
ham. the boy orator, delighted another fair
audience at the Baptist church last night.
Master Ralph is but seven years Of age, but
has all the seductive ways Of an experienced
speaker. He seems natural orator and
elocutionist, and to those gifts adds that
OF a wonderfully retentive memory. His
manner is not that of parrot-like
imitation. His intonations and ges-
lures are his own. and he seems to
feel what he speaks. The church would
have been filed but for the rain last night.
The audience, however, were enraptured
with the exhibition. Master Ralph may
always be sure of warm welcome when
he visits Manchester. A handsome sum
was realized forthe benefit OF our deserving
poor. The pastor and officers Of the Bap-
tist church, and Messrs. James A. Lips
combe, Sidney W. Blankinship, and Will
liam b. AIcCrary deserve thanks for their
efforts in behalf Of the entertainment.
Miss Jennie Webster presided at the or
gan and added greatly to the pleasure Of
the evening.

LOCAL MATTERS.

TIE -FUNDISG-COAPLETIoN OF
THE LAB0Rs OF THE SPECIAL JOINT COMMIT
TEE.-The special joint committee of the
General Assembly appointed during the
early part Of the session to investigate the
alleged double-fundfhg in the basement OF
the Capitol have completed their labors,
and last evening call tue evidence taken
during the Investigation was put into the
hands OF the printer. It embraces about
one hundred and fifty pages Of manuscript,
and will make about fifty Of printed pages,
perhaps little more. 1t will probably be
ready ON Tuesday for use in the two houses.
The committee have been very thorough
in their work, and the report will no doubt
be satisfactory. They have been in session
nearly every day since they were appointed,
and have examined many witnesses, among
them Dr.. William II. Taylor, analytical
chemist and coroaer Of this city. He was
called in as an expert to give an opinion as
to whether the stamps upon certain bonds
had boen erased; but after microscopic
scrutiny OF the bonds the Doctor stated to
the committee that according to his judg-
ment the impressions had not been erased
purposely, but while the stamp was moist
the bonds had been put away, and thus
their weight had obliterated the impression.
The Doctor stated, however, that if his SUI
perfcial examination was not deemed salts:
factory he would take the bonds the stamps
upon which appeared to have been erased,
photograph them at his Office, and by means
of his powerful calcium-light and lantern
throw them upon screen, and thus be en-
abled to give more positive opinion. But
as this would have involved considerable
expense, the committee deemed it ineXpe-
dient to adopt the plan suggested.
The committee say they found that $780,
500 in bonds had been funded twice Tor
stolen), and that there were other bonds
lost or mislaid which they have been un-
able to trace. The evidence elected during
the investigation does not criminate any
one now attached TO the Treasurers or Sec
ond Auditors office; but, in the opinion OF
the committee, fully establishes the guilt OF
two persons. While there is nothing Grim
inal attaching TO the present officers or en-
ployes referred to, the committee find that
there has been neglect OF duty and loose
way Of transacting business.
The committee are also OF opinion that
under the present new system Of "punch-
ing" Or canceling the bonds there will be
no more double-funding or "irregulari-
ties /" OF any kind in the two Offices.
It is probable that as the investigation has
been concluded, the General Assembly will
next week proceed to elect q Second Au-
ditor and Treasurer. For the office OF Sc
cond Auditor there are two candidates. and
the same number for that OF the Treasurer.

THE HARMONICA-AN OLD MUSICAL IN.
sTRUMENT.-At E. b. Cooks auction.heuse,
in this city, there is offered for sale an old
musical instrument, the like OF which is
not often seen in these parts.
The hnrmonica is very sweet-toned in.
strument, the musical sounds being pro-
duced by rubbing q wetted finger around
the edges Of series Of graduated hemi-
spherical glasses, the stems being fitted into
q sounding-board. The instrument was in
vented by Benjamin Franklin, and was af-
forwards improved upon by - Bache,
one Of Franklin's grandsons, who visited
Richmond in the fall Of 1929, and gave an
entertainment in the hall Of the House of
Delegates, which was we'll attended. From
this time dates the introduction Of the har-
monica in our midst. Possibly it may. have
been in use in the State Of Penn
sylvania prior to this date. These
facts were obtained from q venerable and
highly-respected citizen who attended
the musicale referred to. He was so much
charmed by the entertainment and the
sweetness Of the music that he was led to
purchase one OF the instruments, which he
still owns. His harmonica: consists Of
eighteen glasses in a plain mahogany box,
and cost $40. He learned to play two tunes.
The instrument which can be seen at
Cooks is furnished with twenty-four
glasses. and is fitted with handsome ma
hosany stand. The harmonica was never
very extensively introduced in our midst,
and the two mentioned are possibly the
only two ever in Richmond.

A number Of witnesses are yet to be exam

fore the case goes to the jury. AS the tes-
timony is being taken down Uerbatim the
progress made is necessarily. slow. The
following is the jury empaneled to try the
cause: William j. Jones, Samuel Lewis,

Fannie Carter (as well known as Fannie
Anderson) died in March, 1877, leaving
considerable real and some personal pro-
perty, which by will was to 20 to her sis
tiers and other relatives. Joseph Carter,
with whom she had lived for many years as
wife, was left only life-interest in the
premises occupied by them, on the north
west corner of Belle Isle avenue Twelfth
street, and McDonough street.
Joseph Carter and Fannie Anderson COM
menced living together in 1S45. About 1S47
Fannie Anderson (who came OF respecta-
BILE colored family, and who had been free
since the Revolution) purchased Joseph Car
ter OF his master, the late P. Winfree, at
one time member Of the Legislature from
Chesterfield county. He remained her
slave and also husband until the war eman-
cipated him from the first position; and
soon after, by general law, it was enacted
that all colored parties who were living to-
gether as man and wife should be so con-
sidered without further rite OF ceremony.
Two children were born to the couple be-
fore the war, but neither attained their ma
jority.
Carter claims the property as heir OF
these children. He also claims that as his
wife Fannie Anderson had no right to
make will, and is unwilling to acknowl-
edge that he lived with her. for thirty-two
years in state OF unlawful cohabitation.
Fannie Anderson's heirs contend that
there was never any legal marriage between
the parties, and that the deceased had Il
perfect right to make will. That most Of
the property was inherited, and should
come back to the family. Against this latter
plea Carter alleges that most OF the property
was accumulated through their Joint efforts,

chester, especially among the colored peo-
pie, as the couple were widely known and
highly respected in this community.
Joseph Carter is 4 leading churchman,
and was at one time very prominent in Re-
publican politics.
Fannie Anderson Carter was older than
her husband, and had considerable Indian
blood in her veins. In her youth she was
the best-looking woman Of her race in or
around the city, and good looks, good man.
ners, and good character have been always
the leading attributes OF the Anderson
family in this section.
