The beauty and chivalry of Henrico
were well represented at this point on

Of love and beauty. The knights were
well mounted, and such graceful riding

test girls, were on the ground.
The charge was delivered by Mr.. Lyon

preston. Mr.. Spencer, Knight Of
Dutch Gap, crowned as queen Of love
and beauty Miss Tinnie Alexander;
Mr.. Johnston. Knight Of Beulahville,
crowned as first maid Of honor Miss
Mamie Whitlock Mr.. Bud Jones,
Knight Of Malvern Hill, crowned Miss
Martha Whitlock second maid Of honor;
Mr.. Thomas whitlock, Knight OF
Raleigh, crowned Miss Burnett, of
Hanover, third maid Of honor. All

nifty.
Immediately AFTER the riding all ad-
iourned to Malvern Hill, where the coro-
nation address was delivered by Mr.. r.
Tyler Jones, who seemed to have caught
the inspiration Of the moment, and who !
made a speech chaste and beautiful. |
Then, under the influence Of the most i
inspiring music, the company danced |
the night away. S.

No Strike On the Union Pacific


RAwLINs, WYOMING, September
26.-lt was learned last night from
what is believed to be an official source
that there will Der strike on the Union
Pacific railroad. The reason given is
that the Knights Of Labor, by organ
izing q strike, would practically en-
dorse the killing Of the Chinese at
Rock Springs, so they have determined
to settle the trouble by more peaceable
means. The Chinese are all at work
in the Rock-Springs mines, and con-
siderable coal is being turned out. A
few white miners have accepted passes
to other points. Those remaining re-
fuse to 60 to work. The railroad CON-
psny has, it is said, made arrangements
to import two hundred Mormons from
Utah and Idaho to take their places in
the mines. Winter quarters are being
constructed for the troops now here.
