The Address of the State Committee

We publish to-day the address of the
State Committee to the Conservative party
Of Virginia. 1t is a strong and patriotic
document, and will appeal with all the force
of reason and figures to the minds OF our
people. 1t shows conclusivcly that the &C.
ton OF the Legislature on the State debt
was in accordance with the principles and
requirements OF the Conservative platform
that the passage OF the McCulloch
bill was effected by the Conservative
members OF the Legislature in spite
of the opposition of Independents
and Republicans, and is therefore Con:
sentative measure. 1t shows further and
concIusiYey that the bill was wise and
prudent measure, which saved the State
from disgrace and dishonor; and that It's
provisions can be carried out without I'M
posing any additional taxation upon our
people. We hope every taxpayer VII
read this address carefully. n perusal OF
it must satisfy every honest man that inc
settlement made by tue McCulloch Dill
should be sustained by all who desire tc

Intervening the Revenue.

Carry out the MCCULLoCH settlement
and there will be no more " in,ercepting OF
the revenue" The coupons will never be
seen by the people. The Capitol is the
only place where these "cut-worms will
show their faces. The bloated bond
holders" will have no chance to shave the
coupons. They will all be paid at the trea'
sury. The hated "thirty-nine" can no
longer use them to pay their taxes with.
They will be at par. The agitators are the
men who before all others should rally to
the support of this beneticent bill. They
will no longer be panied at the sight OF
those abominable coupons.

Commonwealth, and she has thus far tl0ated

her crew to stand fast ut their quarters and

The State Central Committee acted none
too soon. In number of the counties the
Mozarters had their tools in official posi-
tons in the Conservative party. Such will
now be smoked out. They will have to
take up their quarters With the Mozarters,
where they belong. Let the Conservatives
proceed at once to select their own county

have crept into official positions in the Con-
sentative party.

"HELP," "MURDER," "POLICE."
The Cries Which Wont UP From Minnesota
Street Yesterday Morning.

Street Yesterday Morning.
Shortly before o'clock yesterday morning
the serene quiet of Minnesota street was
broken by the thrilling shrieks of "help,"
murder" "police," followed by profound
stiffness. The blood-curdling shouts pro-
duced tingling sensation on Officer Low
ellis tympanium that may be likened to the
electric spark from a galvanic battery.
Leaving his beat on Wabashaw street, he
ran down Sixth to Minnesota street, where
the ridiculous origin of the cries was soon
made manifest.
Midway in the block on Minnesota
street, between Fifth and Sixth streets,
half dozen woody heads, with eyes protruding
like corks from pop bottle, were observed
craning from the bay window of colored
boarding house. As many voluable tongues
were set wagging and the information COL
lected many be given as follows About 2:3O
O'Clock the landlady of the boarding house
was startled from her sleep by the presence
of some one moving about in her room. In
a partially somniferous condition she at
tempted to yawn, in the act of which she
stretched her arm over the side of the bed,
and to her great surprise her hand rested
on the lead of the intruder, who reclined in
a kneeling posture on the floor. The owner
of the head broke for liberty and escaped
through the window, while the afrighted
damsel rushed to the aperture and screamed.
Diligent search failed to capture the in
truder, and the object of his visit is involved
in mystery.

a Snperb Piece of Furniture.

Mr.. X. Mannhart, whose place of business is
No. ia West Third street, had on exhibition
at the fair splendid black walnut ladies'
dressing bureau constructed entirely by his
own hands. This fine piece of work is ~
feet long by 81 feet high. 1t is made of solid
black walnut. The two lower drawers are the
length of the bureau; there are four upper
drawers-two on each side of the mirror. The
handles of the drawers and the corners of the
bureau are elegantly carved. The mirror is of
French plate glass, 20x50 inches, set in richly
carved solid black walnut frame. The panels
of the drawers and the front has fno piano
POLISH two small and one large marble slab
cover the drawers. The perfect mechanism of
the bureau is without equal. Each piece is
secured in its proper place by means of screws
and the adjustment is perfect. The entire
structure can be taken apart and put together
again without the least damage. It is valued
at $500. Mr.. Mannhart also exhibited solid
black walnut ottoman with carved legs, cover
ed with crimson silk plush-a very beautiful
piece of furniture. Both the above were
decorated with blue ribbons, and they richly
deserved the highest favors. Mr.. Mannhart
is practical and thorough mechanic, and we
commend him to our citizens as gentleman
of thorough ability and strictest reliability.
Call on him at his factory, as above.

A Sharp Little Rascal.


precociously wicked youth named Cor
neilious Holland arrived in this city from
Minneapolis, yesterday forenoon, and before
nightfall he had gotten himself into the
proverbial peck of trouble. About fourteen
summers old, and lusty for his age, he sought
and obtained employment at Alexander's
boarding house over Michaud Bros. store,
corner Of Seventh and Wabashaw streets.
He was set to packing wood, and worked
like trooper until the pile was finished,
when he received his stipend and left the
premises. Shortly after his departure do
nestle named Mary Quincy, discovered that
her pocket book, containing 1925, had been
taken from dress pocket which hung in
her room, the open door of which young
Holland had occasion to pass while carrying
the wood.
Officer Dowlan was informed of the
transaction, and after obtaining description
he went in search of the boy.
The young rascal was found, about 6
o'clock last evening, serenely enjoying his
cigar, corner of Fifth and Robert streets.
To the crime of theft he added the vice of
lying, denying all knowledge of the pocket
book or money. He was taken to Mrs. Alex
ander's, and search resulted in the finding
of about $3.50 of the wealth which he had
concealed in his stocking. He afterwards
accompanied Officer Dowlan to q sand bank
on Sixth street, where he had concealed the
pocket-book. His case will be settled to-
morrow morning

King Faro, Liahtunah, L'Argentine, Keen,
Richard, Jr., Goodnight, Kinkora, with one or
two more, will start in the sweepstakes, one
and one-eighth mile dash, on the first day, and
there is much excitement over the race. There

lected FROM the winners of the Belle Mead and
Sanford stakes, and the cracks of Kentucky
and Tennessee finish the battle for supremacy
begun in the spring. Lord Murphy, who beat
Falsetto in the Derby here, last spring, in the
fastest time ever made, was never in better
form, and will be the favorite in the st. Ledg-
er. There are now more strangers in the city
than ever before known, and there will be a
great meeting.

A DRENCHED BUrTERCUP.
An Episode OF the Nautical Ptnafore at
Cincinnati.

Ass Episode OF the Nautical Pinafore at
Cincinnati.
ICincinnsti Enquirer, Aug. S1.1
There was scene on "Her Majesty's Ship
Pinafore' at the "Zoo'' last night that was
not down on the bills, and that came within
an ace of converting that charming musical
burleeque into real tragedy. The gallant
craft is built on piles and planked up from
the waters age. On the port side board
platform projects from the side of the vessel
on q level with the water. This platform is
used as an entrance by Sir Joseph Porter,
his cousins, and his sisters, and his aunts,
and by Buttercup also. These parties are
brought to the ship in small boat, which
last night was moored rather carelessly.
When the ''cue" for Miss Estelle Mortimer's
(who plays Buttercup as she only can play
it, entrance was given, she stepped on the
platform and began saying, "Haill
Men ot-war s-men." She had hardly
got in the sight of the audience when
her foot tripped on the rope of the boat, and
the next moment she stepped into the water
of the lake, which just there is full fifteen
feet deep. AS she disappeared from sight
ship and clutched wildly at the board from
which she had stepped. In her sudden de-
scent her arms we're cruelty scraped and her
skin abraded: but, though her head went
clear under the water, she did not lose her
presence of mind, and as soon as she came
to the surface she caught the board firmly
with both hands. The audience and her
fellow-performers were terribly excited. but
half-dozen gallant feretopmen drew her
from the water into the small boat. from
whirh she was taken into the cabin of the
''Pinafore." The plucky little lady,
who is as nervy as she is beautiful and
talented, wished to go on with her
part all dripping as she was, but better
counsel prevailed. OF course it was neces-
sary for her to exchange her wet garments
for dry ralment, but here difficulty arose,
Her trunks were at the Burnett house. and
SO were those of the other ladies of the
troupe. However, costume must be
tfaked," and by dint of borrowing q skirt
from one lady and what do-you -call-em, ETC.,
etc., from the others, she soon contrived to
look the part what she had to play, and it is
needless to say that the reception accorded
her when she stepped on the deck was warm
enough to drive from her mind all thoughts
OF her chilly bath of few moments before,
and she finished her part the heroine of the
night. As q soubret Miss Mortimer has no
superior in this country, but it will not do
for her to attempt again Ophelia's drowning
scene. Her admirers will not stand it.

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.

The Igiehars Street Assessment-Closing
Up the Fall Work.
An ad journed meeting of the board of
public works was held yesterday afternoon,
Messrs. Becker and Timme being in atten-
dance.
Mr.. Eagan, counsel for certain property
owners on 1glehart street, appeared before
the board for the purpose of protesting
against the assessment for improving that
thoroughfare. Counsel said that it behooved
the board to have some inhexible, invariable
rule for the establishment of assessments,
for the reason that we'll defined and settled
rule of taxation could not be subject to the
chances of accident or the re al or imaginary
whim Of every petitioner.
If the board could lay down any rule show
ing uniform system in the assessments
under consideration, counsel was wrong, if
not, the position taken was right. If they
omitted one lot in the assessment, the same
argument would prove that the tax could
not be placed on adjoining property without
vitiating the assessment.
The subject was referred to the engineer
for o correct measurement of the property
in question, upon which the assessment was
made, with Instructions to report at the next
meeting.
The confirmation of the assessment for
grading Carroll street from Western avenue
to Makubin street, was laid over until the
next regular meeting. Consideration of the
assessment for grading Park avenue was de-
ferred in similar manner. The assess ment
for grading Arundel street, amounting to
$347.96, was taken up, and the clerk was in
structed to give the first confirmation
notices.
A communication was read from con-
tractor Carr calling attention to the fact
that his contract for the grading of Western
avenue would be completed in one week,
and requesting an estimate of the work in
order to expedite the completion of the
work. Referred to the engineer for report.
A preliminary estimate was submitted for
the construction of number of sewers on
Minnesota and other Streets. The assess
ment was estimated at 5000 and was re-
ferred to the member from the Third ward
for investigation and a report.
The matter of opening an alley in block
2, Rice and Irvine's addition, was then taken
up, and, after discussing the subject, the
members of the board repaired to the
premises with the understanding that the
matter would come up for final action at the
next meeting. Adjourned until 10 O'Clock
tomorrow morning.

The st. Paul Club Rooms,

1t is matter for congratulation that the
st. Paul club rooms, at 81 East Third street,
are meeting with the recognition they de-
serve. Mr.. Avery, the manager, has spared
neither pains nor expense to make the rooms
attractive, having provided them with all the
current literature of the day for those who
desire to spend a half hour in reading, with
an excellent piano for those who love music,
and with billiard table for those who pa
tronize the geutleman's game. He has re-
Gently added to the club room where
lunches can be served at short notice to the
members and their friends. This will prove
great convenience to merchants who find
it inconvenient to 60 to their homes for
lunch or supper, and as the table is provided
with all the delicacies of the season and the
resort is quiet and removed from the hustle
of the average restaurant, this feature is
bound to be popular one. Mr.. Avery in
vites business men generally to call upon
him and inspect his rooms.
