The combat deepens in New York city.
The latest development in the fight between
'Tammany and the County Democracy is the
publication of letter from Gov. Cleveland
to John Kelly, in which the former expresses
the opinion that it would be in the interest
of good legislation for Mr.. Grady to retire.
Grady is Tam nany's candidate for Senator,
and it was his selection that produced the
rupture with the County Democracy. Of
course John Kelly is exceedingly wroth with
the Governor for writing such letter. and
accuses him of unwarrantable interference
with local politics. Mr.. Grady is mad also,
not on his own accouat, of course, but be-
cause the language of the Governor is an
affront to the pure and patriotic organiza-
tion which made him its candidate.

For man who for eight years past has
been posing as the special friend and advo-
cate of the laborng man, the Hon. Thomp-
son FL. Murch talks aueerly. He recently
told an interviewer that having been Con-
gresham he could not go back to the bust
ness of stone cutter with honor and dignity,
and therefore was compelled to turn his at
tention to new field of industry. The new
industry which COMFORTS with his ideas of
honor and dignity is keeping rum shop.

Churcl, Notes.


There were eighteen additions to DE-
Hoge,s church Sunday; communion-day
Sunday was very inclement day, but
nothing keeps a Richmond congregation
from church, and in most cases the attend
ance was better than could have been eX'
pected under the circumstances.
GIACE-sTREET BAPTIST.
At Grace-Street Baptist church during
the week eleven persons were received by
letter. There were several professions OF
conversion in this congregation during The
week.
EPISCOPAL sUNDAY-SCHooL UNION.
The regular monthly meeting OF this
Union was held at Grace church on Satur-
day afternoon at A O'Clock. The attend
ance was large, taking into consideration
the inclemency OF the day, and speaks well
for the interest of Grace church in Sunday
school work. The religious exercises were
conducted by the rector OF the church,
Rev. III. Melville Jackson, after which the
reports Of superintendents were called for,
which is tabulated as follows:

ACCIDENT TO THE GUYANDoTTE.-O On he

ACCIDENT TO THE GUYANDOTTE.-O On her
way TO Richmond early Saturday morning
and near City Point, the Old Dominion
steamship Guyandotte came in collision
with the monitor Ajax. The steamship
struck the Ajax, which was at anchor, q
glancing blow and. broke her own stem
quite badly. II is estimated that it will
cost not less than $4,000 to make the re-
pairs. The Guyandotte's anchor swept tho
stanchions and awnings off the Ajax, and
NAV have done her hull some damage. The
steamship sailed from here Sunday, having
been loaded so as to lift her prov above the
damaged parts. :,
A telegram from our Norfolk correspond
ent last night says:
The steamer Guyandotte arrived from
Richmond at noon to-day, and after taking
on freight enough to ballast her left fol
wilmington, Del. where she is ordered
for repairs. The Manhattan went out TO-
night ia place of the Guyandotte, taking
her passengers, etc.
An Associated Press telegram from Pc
tersburg says The damage TO the Ajax, now
anchored at City Point, amounts to about
g., 900.

Flanagan Mandamus Case.

The Court of Appeals yesterday awarded
n summons against the Board Of Directors
Of the Central Llnatic Asylum to show
cause why the petitioner Flanagan should
not be restored to membership in the
Board.
The ease presents the question as TO the
right of the Governor TO remove, with or
without cause, where the appointment is
for 4 term specified and the office is not
held during good behavior or during the
pleasure OF the appointing power.
When the petition was presented it was
stated that il the law was clear that the
Governor had this right the Court could
withhold the summons to show cause.
From the fact that the rule has been award
ed it may be inferred that the right TO re-
move is not clear. The matter will be ar
gued and determined some time next
month.

OF the face. Mr.. Massey did not seem to
suffer much, but he was considerably
agitated, and paced the room restlessly.
It looked n little strange to see a man oil
his remarkable seli-possession and bland
manners disturbed In the least.
BAILED AND BOUND.
Before the foregoing statements were
made Justice George Childrey and a police
man appeared iu General Hnndley's law
office. and Captain Wise was arrested and
recognized to keep the peace and to appear
at the Police Court this morning to answer
the charge OF assault upon Mr.. Massey.
Mr.. Henry Hudnal was accepted as surety.
THE QUESTION ANSWERED..
After things got quiet. the examination
OF Auditor Allen was resumed, and In an
swer TO the question about Smelling, he
said that he had seen In the papers that Ar.
Massey had charged in his speeches that he
kent a gambling-den, but that, rs lie had
also seen in the same way that Mr.. Massey
had charged him with discharging 2 frail
woman from the Auditors Office and put
ting negro In her place, he had supposed
that one statement was as true as the other.

knew he kept bar rs well as q restaurant,
but had never known OF any gambling.
On the contrary, he thought the house one
OF the most orderly and wcll-reguated
oiies in the city. %
Mr.. Massey stated that at times when he
and General Malone were working smooth
ly together in the interest OF re.idiustment,
that he had gone to Snelling's once or twice
when he could not find Malone elsewhere,
and that at the time alluded to he used to
reach the city sometimes too late to get
supper at his hotel, and that then he took
meal at Sneling's; but he emphatically
denies ever having been n frequent visitor
there.
The occurrences described gave rise
to a great deal OF talk and speculations
in political circles. All the facts were
carefully recorded, and will be a part OF
the budget of testimony presented to Con-
gress in the case OF contest between Wise
and Massey.
This is the second assault Mr.. Massey
has received since his candidacy COM
menced.

The Edison Light.
A LETTER FROM PREsIDEgT l.. J.. BASS 70 r
RICHMOND AGENT.


Pertinent TO the light-questioD, and to
show what prospect the city has for obtain
ing the Edison light, the following corre-
spondence Is published
RICHMOND, Va, February 2, 1885.
W. Z. Hir, Esq, Agent EdisoA Electric
Company, City:
Dear Sir,-The city OF Richmond owns
its gas-works and manufactures the gas
used in the city, and the City Council is
now considering the question Of changing
the mode OF manufacture. In converse
ton at the Gallego Mills few days ago I
understood you TO say that your company
was now prepared to light cities by the
electric light at less cost than 1t could be
done by gas. ] would like 10 bave some
definite and formal statement OF about
what your company would be willing to
do in the matter OF lighting our city by the
latest improved Edison electric light.
beg to say / am not authorized to speak
for the Council Of the city Though the pres-
dent OF one branch OF that body. want
the information, however, so that the SUBJ
ject 81 lighting the city by the Edison plan
may not be overlooked now while we are
discussing the light question, and because
l believe your statement Of its cheapness
obyiatcs, ii II can be carried out, probably
every obstacle to its introduction sud Use
here. Yours very respectfully and truly,
LUCIEN L. Bass.

RICHMOND. VA. February II, 1883.


Captain Lucien i. Bass, President city
Council, Richmond, Vd.:
Dear Sir,-In answer to yours OF the Cd
February | would state, in q general way,
that we are not prepared to give accurate
estimates OF the cost OF lighting from GEN.
trail station for the reason that we have not
rs yet had sufficient experience in this mat
ter to enable us to arrive at the exact
figures. We know simply this, that one
station in New York city is entirely sue
cessful, both practically and commercially,
although we cannot tell at present exactly
what the cost of lighting will be. In round
numbers it will approximate 81 TO sl.2j per
1000 feet of gas, or its equivalent, the prin-
cipal item of cost being the interest ON the
first investment, which, as you are aware,
would appear somewhat large.
| do not think the Edison Company
would sell plant TO the city OF Richmond
without retaining an interest in the plant.
That matter would have TO be decided by
our Board OF Directors. They know that
their system is a good one, and certain to
pay the stockholders, ard for this reason
they want to retain an interest and hold
stock in any company using their FRAN
chises.
Our general plan for formation OF COM
panies Is to receive from the sub-cOmpany
about 30 per cent. OF their stock, OF which
10 per cent. would be in cash and 20 per
cent. stock itself. In consideration OF
this the sub-company would have the
privilege OF purchasing dynamOs, materials,
&C., at cost, and we would Of course retain
an interest in the business to the amount
OF stock held by us, which would be, as
above stated, about 20 per cent.
The price we are charging in our New
York district is 81 per 1000 candles of
light, which is equal TO gas at about - TO
1926 per 600 feet.
Should you desire definite information
as TO cost OF formation OF company, yor
should first make application to the Edison
Company, stating names OF the proposed
incorporators, which would be subject tc
the approval OF our Board OF Directors
In order to determine cost we would re
quire a map OF the district indicating The
location OF such buildings as were to b'
| lighted, and the number Of lights in each,
also showing the proposed location Of the
| dynamo, power, &c.
| ANY further information you may desire
will be furnished by President $. Il. Eaton,
or Secretary &. Goddard, No. 90 Fifth ay-
enue, New York city.
Yours respectfully,
