Stetson, William H. Watson; Ward 3, F. Nj. Weeks.
y. W. Paine, Charles f. Dain; Ward 4 j. H. Stan
tial, 5. c. Morse W. A. McNeal.
Clerk OF Common Council-Cyrus w. Longley.
The election of minor officers takes place
one week from Wednesday.
The city clerk was re-slected to his seventh
term BY unanimous vote, hitherto there hav-
ing been some little opposition. There is but
one Democrat in the city council and rather a
mild one, voting the Republican ticket at the
last election.
Rev. 7. T. White, OF the CalVinist Baptist
Church, offered the customary prayer, after
qualification of the officers.
Concerning the lower officers, no conjectures
can be made.
There is no question whatever about Mr Ed
@. Hyde succeeding himself as treasurer,
while in the office OF collector of taxes there
will be change. The fifteen years Of faithful
service of the commissioner of streets, Joseph
B. Mitchell, will entitle him to reelection,
The assessors of taxes will probably be the
same for the ensuing year, likewise the over
seers of the poor and house of correction, as
we'll as the citv commissioner and health officer.
Over the office Of city marshal and health
officer there will be desperate struggle The
mayor, in his address, recommended larger
salary for this Office and the election OF man
capable of running it. There is a large num-
Der OF applicants, among them Capt John I.
Wiggin, who stands the best show at present.
City Constable and Messenger Nathaniel
Longley has discharged faithfully the duties of
his office since the adoption of the city charter
and has no competitor. The chief engineer of
fire department and assistants will remain the
same. The cemetery board will remain un-
changed. On the experimenting school COM
mittee Messrs. Pratt and Simpson being no
longer residents of Bath, two new members
will have to be elected.

Tho Rormelian Difficulty,

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 29.-The Journal
dc 81. Petersburg, commenting on the Rou-
me!ian difficulty, Gays: There is no ques-
ton but that the conference Of the ambassa-
doris at Constanlinople will arrange for
united diplomatic action towards both
Turkey and Bulgaria so as to prevents con-
hict between them, and thus allow the sign
ers of the Berlin treaty time to discover a
solution more in harmony with the interests
of Turkey and the balance of power in the
East. General peace will be maintained
when the eastern question is under the Igis
and moral authority of Europe. The pacific
tendency of the powers admits Of the hope
that the crisis will not augment and that
what first appeared a difficult problem will
be promptly solvedn

THE SHOOTING OF JUDGE WARD.

The cause Of the trouble between Dr..
William White and Judge Geo. W. Ward
at Abingdon, on Sunday, the particulars OF
which were published in yesterdays GA
zETTE, was the publication of the following
article in the Examiner of the Goth: "The
man that goes into convention and seeks
the support Of a convention and then runs
without any valid reasons against the nom
inee of the convention would steal the cop.
pers of the eyes of a dead negro"
This was construed to reflect on Dr. VIM
White, who sought the democratic nomina-
ton for the State Senate, but being defeated
announced himself as an independent cam
didate against Judge w. F. Rhea, the dem
ocratic nominee, and is being supported by
the republicans.
Two young men, relatives of Whites,
fred seven shots at Ward One Of the young
men was concealed behind tree; the other
behind rock. Ward fred three shots, two
grazing the tree that concealed one of the
young men. The courage of Ward is COM
mended by every one.
Judge Ward is native Of Winchester,
and a son of ex-State Senator George w.
Ward, of that place. Judge Ward settled
in Abingdon about ten years ago, entered
on the practice of law aud also became the
editor of a paper conducted in the interest
Of Senator Malone. He was elected county
Judge by readjuster Legislature, and ssrv-
ed with ability for some time, but resigned
to accept a challenge to fight duel. Judge
Ward declined to follow General Malone
into the republican ranks, and for the past
three wears has been one Of the most active,
aggressive democrats in southwestern Eir.
ginia. Two years ago he was appointed
Commonwealth Attorney of Washington
county by Judge Rhea, who succeeded him
on the bench. Judge Ward married
daughter of the late Hon, Walter Preston.
He was second of Mr.. John S. Wise in his
duel with Mr. Crock in 1881. A few years
ago Mr.. Ward had hostile correspondence
with Congressman Trigg, but an arrest pre-
vented any meeting.
A gentleman who arrived in Lynchburg
from Abingdon yesterday says that Judge
Wards condition was considered quite fav-
orable by his physicians.

CORRESPONDENCE OF tho alcAanuTa DAZETTE.)
CENTREvILLE, Va, Sept. 24.-Carter NJ.
Louthan, ex-rebel, ex-democrat, ex-read-
ulster. said his little piece in McDonough's
shop to twelve men and six boys.
The audience consisted OF one unbleached
American citizen, one of those democrats
better than Ben Hill-Poor Hill and the
balance were democrats.
Clarke's favorite son knew that he was
in the South Carolina end of Fairfax county,
and that it was almost useless to try ito
turn any from the error of their ways, but
he quoted from book that he had heard
off, stating that "a certain person did 60 and
speak to the people where they were all
against him."
His text was free schools and free books.
He started out by saying that the repub-
licans of Virginia had always been the free
schools party but failed to tell how much
money they planked up. 1t will always be
the case; the republicans will supply the
gas while the democrats can furnish the
cash.
He handled Ran. Tucker without gloves.
Tucker must be very bad man, for he said,
she defeated the Blair bill" His attention
being called to "bloody shirt" John Sherman,
he said he did not endorse Sherman as
he thought the wal ought to be forgotten,
Sherman voted against the Blair bill.
He paid his respects to General Fitz Lee
ia pretty decent manner, for fear his audi
