New ORLEANS. December 27.-Dissatls-
faction has existed among the street-c1I
drivers since November 18th because OF
the failure OF the Crescent Railroad Com
paDy, of which Watson Van Beuthuysen Is
president, to comply with the agreement
made with the drivers when the last strike
was terminated. A conference was held
early this week between representatives OF
the Trades Assembly, the car-driycrs,
and the Board OF Railroad Presidents,
al which the derellction OF TIE Crescent
City Company was plainly shown. sun
the company failed 10 rectily the trouble.
Another complaint the drivers make against
this company is that they are all compelled
10 report at the starting station at j:3O
O'Clock in the morning, although some OF
them do not commence work until
$3.50 or later. This dissatisfaction Gull
minated tins afternoon 10 another strike
OF the car.drivors on all the lines without
any previous notice. They left work de.
harding SC0 per month for Ii teen hours
work. instead Of from $50 10 SIS now paid.
The New Orlean. City Railroad Company
agreed TO comply with the demand until
confer ence could be beld; so there was little
delay on their lines. Eut on the It. Charles
Street and other lines no ears were running
tonight. The officials OF the New Orleans
City Railroad Company state that they have
fully complied with their agreement vita
drivers. and blame the officials OF the
Crescent city Company for the present
trouble with the drivers. They believe
hat II all the companies bad kept filth with
drivers the present strike would not have
taken place, nor demand for an increase In
In wages have been made.
The Weather tonight Is rainy and sloppy.

Case.

Correspondence Of the Richmond Disp,tch.i
LEXINGTON, Va, December 2G, 1884.
Rev. A. W. Ruff, formerly OF this place,
who for some time has had charge OF seve-
raj Presbyterian churches on Bick creek,
in Highland county, died there last Sunday
under very distressing circumstances.
At the close OF his service on Sunday the
14th instant he was suddenly taken with
some arrangement of the bowels, which
resisted all medical treatment and termi-
nsted his life in just one week. The lack
Of telegrapuic communication prevented
his wife from notifying his friends here
until II was too late for them to reach him
while he lived. As soon as they heard OF
his sickness three OF his brothers started to
see him--two from here and one from Lib
erty. The two who went from here only
reached there In time to return with bis
corpse 10 this place, and the one from Lib
erty las not been heard OF since he started.
The funeral has been postponed till to-
morrow in the hope that he may return.
Mr.. Ruff left wife and one child. The
child was sick when he died, and Mrs.
Ruff was detained among comparative
strangers, watching the doubtful issue OF
its sickness. when the body OF her hus-
band was horne away over the icy noun
tains for interment. ANDY.

the matter Of the eIseal responsibility OF The
Department after the 3Ist instsDt. beyond
which dstc The cur5ens appropriations Tor
the naval service do not exteud. Il Con-
gress acts Al once npon reHssembilng no
cmbarrssmcnts will result from the failure
to make appropriations IN advance. u
there should he deadlock OF considerable
length. the Navy Department will continue
TO exist, and may serve the various useIui

Inconvenience. The pay OF the navy VIII
70 on: contracts may be entered Into for
The continuance Of work which has already
begun under former appropriations, and
supplies may be purchased; but for all
these purposes the Department viii merely
give certificates instead Of cash, and sailor,
officer. or contractor. Will become
creditor CT the Government. In
cases of emergency the Department
may accept the services OF indidvituils
or OF private vessels, but esnnot hire or
contract for such services. The prospect
fer an early reconciliation OF the differences
be. ween the Senate aud House Is not good.
Incidental expressions by members Of the
House committee indicate q purpose not TO
confer WITH the Senate upon either OF the
three amended bills. Mr.. Randlll has sent
10 Secretary handler copy OF the thirty
one.dsy bill (as amended bv the Senate, so
as 70 provide for SIX monthsl with
a letter asring II the amount there
In provided will be sufficient for the
Department during the remainder OF the
fiscal year. There can be but little doubt
that The Secretary wili declare the amounts
named for some bureaus to be insufficient.
which fact may be used in justification OF
the position OF the House In refusing as
sent TO the Senate amendments. Should
the point he made that the amounts pro.
posed are too low, the Senate Committee
will meet IT BY showing that the disputed
measure Is House bill, prepared last ses-
sion upon the basis OF the estimates, and
only objected to by them because the Senate
had by its amendments made the approDria-
ton too high. Senators will moreover urge
that they are not welded TO the amounts OF
either Of the pending bills. but are willing
10 adjust them In conference. The chief
point now made on the part Of the
Senate Is that the passage OF APP
preparation bills not based upon
recent estimates II an evil which can be
justified only by much graver emergencies
than now exist. IL Is also argued that "
1T every disagreement Congress Is to 60
back 10 former bills the practice will
amount to a " permanent annual appropria-
ton" for the department affected. and the
abolition of such appropriations has been
one Of the prospective, and IN part accom-
plisbed, reforms OF recent years.

False Jewels I'm Eugenie's Dindcm.
IBy cable 70 the Dispatch.l


LONDON, December 27.-A scandilous
discovery has been made regarding the
splendid diadem OF diamonds and emeralds
which Empress Eugene used to wear. The
dladem, it will be remembered, was exhibit
ed among the crown jewels exposed at the
Government sale at Paris. A discovery has
been made that while the diamonds In the
royal bauble were genuine, the cmeralds
were bogus. The emeralds were pur-
chased 10y an English noblenan for Ei0,000
and this large sum Of money was paid over
to Eugene, for her claims to the emeralds
AS personal property were admitted. The
money. however, was returned when it
was found that the emeralds were only int
tation jewels. Tie Figaro Of Paris adds
another complication TO the scandal by as
serting that the Empress was aware OF the
fact that the diadem was partly filed with
false stones.

CORRESPONDENCE of the Richmond Dispstch.I
South Boston, Va, December 81, 1884.
Formerly Christmas was celebrated in
Halifax upon the grandest scale. In our
palmy days the festivities Of the season
comipeneed n week before and lasted
week after the 18th, and an impetus and
eciat given them by abundant wealth.
which IS POW out OF the question. Never
tb.less, our people are always in happy
frame Of mind when Christmas comes, and
as far as possible keep up the
good old customs OF giving and receiving
presents, paying calls, &c. An occasional
ball brings back past days when the apple
jack OF our daddies was a power in the
land. Christmas this year was one OF the
most quiet have ever known. Several
hops given by Young gentlemen OF South
Boston and Halifax Courthouse have been
greatly enjoyed, but nothing else has bap-
pened out OF the usual routine. One no.
ticeable feature Is the moderation with
which everybody seemed 10 imbibe. II they
imbibcd at all, the customary but greatly
overratcd egg-nog. Drunkenness was

but very cbaste and pretty. The conyre.

abled.elergy fund, were liberal.
SCHOOL APPROPRIATION.
Under the recent annual appropriation
Of state funds for the support OF public
free schools Halifax received Si4,6il.4s.
This amount has been apportioned 10 the
