This bill will pass without difficulty. 1t
is very popular measure with the coloerd
people. At the last Episcopal Council,
when the subject of the education of color
ed men for the Episcopal ministry was care.
fully considered, the necessity for such
an institution where young colored men
could be educated especially with view
for their following the calling Of ministers
of the Episcopal Church, was conceded.
Tonight Mr.. NJ. Glennan, of the Norfolk
Jirginian, was arrested on the charge OF
being about to have a personal difficulty
with Mr.. Porter, delegate in the House
from Portsmouth. Mr.. Glennan reached
this city tonight from Norfolk. 1t is I'M
derstood that Hon. A. M. Kelley received a
telegram from Father OKein, Of Norfolk
asking him to have Mr.. Geunan arrested
as breach of the peace was apprehended.
The arrest was made. The trouble grew
out of some structures upon Mr.. Glennan by
Mr.. Porter which were published in the
Portsmouth Enterprise. Mr.. Porter was
subsequently arrested. He is the editor of
the Portsmouth Enterprise.
The railroad commission bill was discuss
ed until late hour to night. There is
much division Of opinion upon this subject,
and it is not at all certain that the bill will
pass.
The Malone attempted elation over the
returns from Curdsville in Hubard's cleo
ton proves to have been very premature.
His vote fell off 80 immensely from that re-
ceived in November that some Mahoneites
regard it as unfortunate that there was any
election at all. STRoNGBOW.
