THE TOBACCO GROWERs.
Proceedings of the Convention at Hart
ford.

Proceedings of the Convention at Hart
ford.
HARTFORD, CONN, Dec. 26.-A meet
ing of about four hundred tobacco grow
ers of Connecticut and Massachusetts was
held here to-day to organize a New Eng
land Association for mutual benefit and
protection. E. n. Phelps, of Windsor,
Conn.,, presided. Speeches were made by
several dealers and growers favOring a
higher duty ON Sumatra tobacco, which is
seriously injuring New England growers
of cigar wrappers. Resolutions were re-
ported from the committee favOring the
abolition Of the internal revenue tax on
tobacco, snuff and cigars, and the increase
of duty on all imported tobacco. The de-
bate developed a difference of opinion as
to the wisdom of asking a reduction of the
internal revenue tax.
The convention resolved that the tobac-
co growers of the New England States do
earnestly urge and request their Senators
and Representatives in the present
Congress to take such action in the
matter Of their complaint as will
either relieve the tobacco grow
ing industrykfrom the burden of taxation
entirely, or so reduce said taxation as in
their judgment may best appear. The last
resolution was passed after large num-
Der had lett the nall. There had been eX-
preston earlier in the day adverse to
asking for the total abolition of the tax.
In the afternoon session of the Tobacco
Growers Convention a long time was
spent in discussion of the resolutions
which proposed to raise the duty on Su-
matra tobacco from 81 to 81 30 a pound,
and also proposed to modify or wholly
abolish the internal revenue tax on to-
bacco and also the license ON manufactu-
rers of and dealers therein,
There was a wide diversity of opinion
upon the question of abolishing the tax.
The growers We're inclined generally to
question the wisdom of asking such aboli-
ti0n Of the revenue tax, but were strongly
in favor of a heavier duty on foreign to-
bacco, They seemed afraid, if they urged
the abolition Of the revenue tax, that they
might fail in getting an increase in the
duly on foreign tobacco which they de-
sired

The Trouble Not Yet Ended.

MONTGOMERY, ALA, Dec. %. - En-
aggerated rumOrs prevailed to-day of
trouble at Opelika, and Governor O'Neal,
who had gone to Mobile to spend few
days with his relatives there, was called
back by telegram from the commission
ers appointed to take charge of the mu-
nicipal affairs in place of the old authOri-
ties, removed by act of the Legislature va
eating the charter. The commissioners
called on Dunbar, the old Mayor, to give
them possession of the city property. This
he refused to do, and, apprehending
trouble from this refusal, the commits
So far no violence is reported and no
troops have been ordered to the scene.
Troops will be so ordered if the emergency
demands it. The Sheriff of Lee county
has been ordered to summon a sufficient
force to sustain the commissioners, who
are the legal authorities of 0pelika, and
preserve the peace. The trouble is caused
by only a few men. The great body of the
citizens have been anxious to see the COM
missiOners in full control, but they are
10th to resort to desperate measures. The
State authorities are determined to sus-
stain the commissioners and to enforce
the law.
MONTGOMERY, Dec. 26.-Everything is
quiet at Opelika. The Sheriff has suffi-
cient force to sustain the commissioners
and to preserve law and order, There
have been no new collisions, and reports
to the contrary are unfounded,

serious Collision in Virginia

serious SOlIIslOH III virginia.
RICHMOND, Dec. PA collision of
trains occurred last night at 12:OS, on the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railway, by which
five men were killed and two wounded.
1t appears that a west-bound express
train, which left Richmond at 4 p. m. ves-
terday, after passing Millboro Station
about three miles, going at the rate of
thirty-five miles an hour, was run into by
a freight train, which was running on pas
senger-train time, causing the casualties
above mentioned and badly wrecking both
engines and the baggage and combination
cars. The killed were Chris. c. Leath,
engineer of the passenger train, JnO. W,
AlsOp, baggage master, J.. Loving and j.
O'Neil, firemen of the trains, and Geo. K.
Netherland, brakeman of the passenger
train. The wounded are 4. Hogshead,
express messenger, and j. W:Hocksworth,
passenger, of Milton, w. Va, the latter
slightly. The cause as stated was the
freight trains being 30 minutes behind and
running on express train time. The con-
ductor of the freight train claims that his
watch was over half an hour slow.
