The farewell services of the Young Mems
Christian Associations took place last
night in The Court-Street Methodist Epis-
copal church and in the First Presbyterian
church. Both ediEces were tiled to over
flowing.
Several hundred stcmmers in the tobacco
factories Of the city struck this morning for
higher wages. The "dry-stemmers," as
the employers are deuomInated. have hitl-
erto been paying their operatives at the
rate of fifty cents per hundred, and the de-
mand is for seventy five cents. The tobac-
conists have conceded an advance TO fifty
cents, and a large number Of the operatives
accepted this concession and went to work
but they were visited by committees from
the "Laboring Association" and threaten
ed with imprisonment in jail If they on
tinued ut their benches. This and other
threats had the effect OF causing a general
strike, and The factories are now closed, the
employers refusing 10 pay the price de-
handed. There is some talk Of the cigar
makers striking, but they have not yet
done so.
Mr.. G. l.. Burch, q well-known citizen,
died Saturday, and was buried with Ma

Familiarity known as ebony Burcli." and,
so far as my knowledge extends, had not
an enemy on the face oil the earth. During
the wal he was a member OF the Beaure-
gard Battery, and was the life Of the camp.
Trade in tobacco to-day is unusually ac-
tive, and great preparations are in progress
for the shipments to be made tomorrow.
BY some il is estimated that between seven
hundred thousand and one million pounds
OF tobacco will be sent from here to-mor-
row, but this estimate is probably too
great. However, not less than five hun
dred thousand pounds will be shipped. as
the sales of stamps, to be delivered at mid
night of this date, amount to nearly S56, 900.
The analysis OF the stomach Of young
Warren Monroe, who, with his mother,
was poisoned near Brookneal several
months since, was completed yesterday,
and Mr.. Stockton leaves this afternoon to
make an official report to the county aU-
thoritics. He. Of course, declines to make
public the result of his analysis Just vet:
but | am warranted in the statement that
poison was found. There will be a full re-
hearing Of witnesses before the corOner's
jury tomorrow, and the probabilities are
that al arrest will be made. BEAUMONT.
