OF their cars could not be

20 i'm their own cars or in Pullmans
The weather was so frightfully Lad over
head and underfoot yesterday that the
party were forced to keep in their rooms.
PETERSBURG.
Mr.. Chris Quincy, Of Petersburg. came
over In the morning, and with Mr.. Edgar
Allan waited on Colonel de Winton, and
extended to the Marquis and wife an invi-'
tation on behalf OF the British Association
to visit Petersburg, or at least TO stop there
in the train long enough to allow an adj
dress to be presented.
The Marquis visited Petersburg soon
after the war, when he was the guest OF
CAPTAIN W. Gordon McCabe.
The following reply was made to this in
vitation:
EXCHANGE HOTEL, January II, 1893.
Dear Sir.--I am in receipt OF a letter
from Mr.. Scott having reference to the pre-
sentation of an address by the British AS
sociation OF Petersburg to. the Marquis OF
Lorne, on his way through that city, and
requesting me to communicate with you
on the subject.
With regard to the address, / should
mention a. his Excellency and her Royal
Uighness have refused all similar marks OF
esteem while they travel in the United
States. il would be difficult for them to ac-
cede to the request Of the British Associa-
ton OF Petersburg without creating re-
mark.
Also, they leave by the 9:4S i. NJ. train,
which would make it very late for any
such ceremony. Trusting these reasons
NAV be satisfactory 10 the British Associa-
ton. and begging you to convey to them
his Excellency's appreciation OF the honor
they are desirous TO show him and to her
Royal Highness,
| beg to remain,
+. DE WINTON.
P.S II il should he considered desira-
bic the address could be forwarded to Lord
Lorne by post.
Edgar allan, New Richmond.
This note was evidently written when il
was in contemplation to leave at 9:4S +. Nj.
Mr. Fred. Scott had offered TO arrange
for the stoppage OF the train ut Petersburg

THE BEITIsHERs' BOUQUET.
The following acknowledgment was
made, through Mr. lIigham, OF the receipt
OF the bouquet sent by Sir Walter Raleigh
Lodge on Tuesday

WHERE TO co.
They seem TO be as much in doubt as
ever about going TO the Bermudas. They
have, it is true, arranged to 20 there have
engaged quarters and her II. NJ. 5. Dido
Is in waiting at Charleston to take the
Princess and party mot the Marquis)
thither, but they feel quite at liberty to
change their minds.
The Princess has not been out OF her
rooms except to go into their dining
rooms across the passage) since they have
been here. She has been tired out, head
achy, ard all that.
There has never been any crowd about
the hotel, nor have the callers been numer-
Gus but the contrary, it being understood
that the visitors wished to keep quiet.
HIS RELATIVES.
The Marquis spent an hour Tuesday
with his relations, Miss Helen Grinnan
and Mr.. Wallace and daughter, at Mrs.
Wolie's. on Franklin street. He expressed
himself As pleased to meet his relations,
and promised to send pictures. which he
would get his father, the Duke Of Argyll,
TO forward.
HOAX.
The Louisville COurier-jOurndl, in an
account which has been reproduced here,
has evidently been imposed upon by some
writer, who alleges that he saw the
Princess on the train sitting ut the table
after dinner smoking cigarette, etc, etc.
One OF the Marquis's party said yesterday
evening that the whole thing was sab
surd.'
NEW NAME.
Colonel de Winton thinks the name OF
this city is New Richmond" Well,
much Of 1t is new. but some Of it is old,
and it is therefore better to give it its cor
rect titlc-Richmond.
sNOBBERY.
Last night it was said that the party
would more probably leave tonight than
this afternoon. Their plans are not very
certain. They cannot be trying TO deceive
the public to make q quiet exit, for since
The announcement that they wanted rest
md privacy-before that, indeed-there
has been but little attempt to disturb them
BY calls. Those very few who have been
really most anxious to gain access to vice
ROYALTY are people who are frequently
heard denouncing snobbery.
ARREST AND ESCAPE OF MML-RoBBER.-
Day before yesterday Judge X. w. Hughes,
)f the United States Court, issued bench |
warrant for the arrest OF William Taylor, |
,olored man charged with robbing the |
United States mail at Newport News. |
