THE GLOUCESTER CAVALRY.

This excellent body OF horsemen, under
the command OF Captain John n. Tabb,
and otherwise oflicered by Lieutenants j.
Hairston Seawell and T. T. Dabney, took
up the line OF march in Gloucester county
last Sunday, and after fatiguing trip
reached the city yesterday about | O'Clock
and took up quarters at the Fair-Grounds.
They could not be given stables for their
horses, but were furnished lettering ropes,
with which the animals were picketed.
The men were given the quarters occupied
last year by the Lexington Cadets, and
were made as comfortable as circum-
stances would admit. Monday the men
were caught in the heavy rain-storm
which overlook and fell upon them at Old
Church in Hanover county. The men and
horses were considerably fatigued, but will
be much rested to-day and will add greatly
to the military feature OF the Fair by their
presence. The Gloucester Cavalry during
the war was one OF the most gallant COM
mands in the cavalry Of the Army ofNorth-
ern Virginia.

A cArTInN TO THE BOYS.

Last night squads OF hilarious soldier
boys were parading the streets at late
hour, and in one case certainly were guilty
Of unsoldierlike conduct. This is wrong,
especially wrong from our home soldiery,
and it would be well for the officers to
caution the boys to remember to be civil
under all circumstance, and not to forget
that a soldier should always be gallant

WASHINGTON, D. c., May IA decision
was rendered by the Supreme Court in the
socalled Granger case" Of Neal Ruggles
against the people Of the State Of Illinois,
in which the question Is raised whether
the charter granted to the Central Military
Tract r. r, Company, now Chicago, Bur
lington & Quincy R. r., by the Legislature
Of Illinois in 1852, or any subsequent
amendment thereof, contains such con.
tract between the State and the company
as authorizes the company to establish It's
own fares and answer this question in the
negative, aud holds that directors Of a
railroad company cannot adopt any by
law, fixing rates Of fare and freight which
are in conflict with the laws of the State
relating TO the same subject. The judy.
ment Of the Supreme Court Of Illinois is

III Treated.
Special DiEpateh to DE Intelligeaee.
BALTIMORE, MD, May 1.-THE statement
attributed 10 the Rev. Mr.. Riddick, as to
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad company
refusing to serve colorcd people at its
hotels, is entirely without foundation. Mr..
Riddick, who has himself been served here.
toiore at the Viaduct Hotel, was simply
not served with lunch at this hotel, at
which there Is no lunch counter, at q
moment when one OF the trains was stop.
ping for breakfast, and when all the wait.
ers were fully engaged. The orders OF the
president Of the company are absolute on
the subject that all colered patrons OF the
road shall betreated with perfect courtesy
and attention and had Mr.. Riddicks re-.
quest been for breakfast he would have
been served at once with the same polite
ness and attention as other passengers.
So far from the instructions Of the
hotel managers being not to serve colored
passengers, the exact contrary is the case.
Uniform and absolute instructions having
been given by President Garrett and all the
officers to the effect that all patrons OF the
road must be courteously and politely
waited on and served in its hotels and on
its trains. The solitary complaint for
many years is that made by the Rev.
Mr.. kiddick, whilst on the contrary
colored persons from oil parts Of the United
States have frequently and generally ex.
treatment, and as result travel constantly
and largely upon the lines ofthe Baltimore
& Ohio Go. In the case Of Mr.. Riddick
rigid investigation is being made by the
authorities OF the railroad company. The
above statement is official. .l

Iron workers AVID Glass House 10y
Stop Work. -,.


After making two heats on the night
turn yesterday, the rollers at the Top mill
knocked Of, and refused 10 continue work
until an extra shook up" hand was EN-.
ployed. 1t Is the custom In all the mills to
employ an extra man at the rolls in the
heated season, and the rollers were OF the
opinion that the time for this addition to
the working force had arrived. The man.
ayers at first refused to accede 10 the boil.
eTs demands. but yesterday afternoon
they agreed to employ the extra man, and
the boilers will resume work this morning.
The gathering boys at the Nail City
Glass Works yesterday notified the com.
pany that unless an increase Of otwages was
given them at once they would stop work.
There are nine oil these boys, and they are
paid SO a week each, and now demand 81
Of an advance, making their wages 81 per
week. Six dollars is the ruling rate OF
wages at Pittsburgh and other points, and
the Nail City Works will not grant the
present demand, bnt will get rid OF the
troublesome boys and supply their places
with others. The managers say tho boys
are taking advantage Of the unusual press
ol orders 10 make their demand, thinking
the company would rather submit than
stop wolk. They say they will do neither.

OF a startling letter received by Lieut.. Gov.
Archibald, warning him OF an expected
visitto Halifax Of two suspicious American
vesse.s and cautioning him to have pre-
cautions taken for the safety OF life aud
property. The Lieut.. Gov. admitted
receiving the letter, but declined to
state It's contents or the nature OF the
measures that will be taken by the military
and naval authorities. From other parties
in position 10 know the contents OF the
letter are learned. Colonel Clark, on Sun.

aquantity oftorpedoes and other dangerous
explosives had sailed from Boston q few
days ago and 1t was thought they intended
to make Halifax their destination. On
arriving here it was asserted that the
torpedoes with which the vessel is
laden would be laid, as oppor.
tunity offered, beneath the water Of
the harbor with the intention OF blowing
up the shipping entering or leaving, a line
OF torpedoes was to be distributed from
sombreo up the harbor, as close to the city
as possible, and when the time arrived all
would be fired. Particular mention
was made Of an extraordinary watch
to be kept on the l4th inst,
the day on which Brady, the
Phoenix Park murderer, is to be exc
cuted, and it was also recommended that
guards be at the various barracks and
powder magazines. The dock yard and
war ships to be strengthened. 1t
could not be learned whether the
guards on the imperial property all

creased, but on Her Majesty's ship TenedoP,
in port, this has been done, and the sentries
at various points Of this city instructed to
be careful whom they allow to enter the
