The following letter from well-known
gentleman, whose real name Is given in his
pen.naue, ought to be the end Of contro-
versy as to the time for the meeting OF the
Democratic State Convention:
Letter from fauquter County.
WARRENroN, VA, May s, 1891.
TO The Editors Of Dispatch:
see that a strong effort is being made in
certain quarters to change the time of hold
ing our State Convention from August to
July, aud even June.
Now, Messrs. Editors, protest for one
against any such step. IL is ill-advised and
injurious. WHAT'S the sense OF il! How
Is u going to benefit the partyy
There can be no worse time for great
public meeting than during the months Of
June and July. IL is the farmers busiest
season; he is driving along with rush
then, trying TO secure his harvest, and every
dollar he can rake and scrape together goes
20 pay his hands. His whole mind, soul,
and body Is centred upon his farm, and he
has neither ears nor ewes for anything else.
And TO expect HIM 10 60 to Richmond or
anywhere during that time Is TO count with.
out host. Every branch and profession Of
our purely agricultural State is entwined
with The farmer, and June and July are with
all the superintendent months OF the
year.
In August 1t Is different. The harvest Is
all gathered, and the owner needs rest and
recreation. Money, too, Is easy, and his
commission merchant stands ready to adj.
vance suy reasonable amount be may de-
sire. Over bis pipe and, perchance, bis
evening julep, he carefully reads the papers,
and then politics gets 10 his bones. So be
promises his wife and daughters no end OF
presents, cashes his check at the nearest
crossroads store, calls meeting, is chosen
delegate, and starts for Richmond prepared
TO serve bis country and tell everybody
what be thinks OF the situation.
The Republican party Is Engaged In an
internecine war. II Is not our policy TO
beat our drums, and sound our bugles, and
rally them In solid line. Our true policy,
on the contrary, Is TO Keep quiet and bide
orr time. Never shake the tree until the pear
Is ripe, "CHAssEUR."

HOTEL BURNED.

MEMPHIS, Dec. 17.-Peabody hotel took
fire this morning. The fire originated in
the kitchen during the breakfast hour.
The SCOT in pipe over the boiler catching
fire sent sheet of flame up the fiue which
runs from the kitchen to the roof of the
house. The wall of the hue must have
been defective, for the flames were soon
seen issuing from the roof, and in very
short time, the western portion of the
building was ON fire. The prompt atten-
dance of the fire department had its effect,
and after an hours hard fight the fire was
gotten under control. The principal dam

though the kitchen, pantry and servants
quarters are badly wrecked. The hotel
was filled with guests. and the sounding
of the alarm was followed byaa general
rush from the building.
The damage to the hotel will amount to
about 800, 900; fully insured

the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, says: '.If in

land be required to allow the highway be
tween the two oceans to@be placed under

CRIMINAL.

DEs MONIES, Dec. 16.-John Martelle, a
restaurant keeper, was shot yesterday after
noon by Frank McCreery, and died this
evening. The affair is the result of double
jealousy. Their wives were intimate, but
the husbands never liked each other.
About year ago Martelle forbade his
wife to visit McCreery, and McCreery
claims he shot him in self defense, after
having called on him to explain why he
had insulted Mrs. McCreery. McCreery
and his wife have lived a very unhappy
life recently.

head severed from his body, and both
