BESSIE.

Twining daisies in her hair.

To he Editor Of tie Dispafch

10 ne Editor Of the Dispateh:
/ have seen the complaint which the
chairman Of the City Councils COM
mittec in charge Of the James-River I'M
provcmcnt makes Of remark con-
tanned in 4 late decision Of mine in the
case of the schooner Valentine.
Az that remark did not touch the
law Of the case or affect in any degree
the grounds Of the decision, l feel ut
liberty 70 recur to the subject. l do
so with much pleasure, as ! am unwill-
ing to be the cause Of even possible in
jury to the trade Of Richmond.
The Valentine, drawing nearly eleven
feet water, had taken sheer in going
down the river on the night Of the 30th
of April last, which some witnesses
conjectured might have been caused by
an undercurrent, and others by bar
or like obstruction in the channel. The
best swimmers are sometimes drowned
by uDdertows and sailors have a con-
yiction, claimed to be we'll founded,
that when sail-vessel I" smells - the
bottom she is apt to sheer off towards
deeper water.
had to do only with the sheer, and
not with the cause Of 1t. Though it
was not incumbent upon me TO say how
the sheer occurred, yet in the narrative
part of the decision | incidentally sug-
gested that it may have occurred from
bar left after the spring freshets. twould
not have thrown out the suggestion if |
had had Mr.. Burgwyn's statement in the
evidence submitted to me. | shall omit
the paragraph from my regular report
Of the case.
As the Valentine drew nearly eleven
feet, she required for easy navigation
say two additional feet. | find, on re-
examination of the chart, at the place
Of the collision, that the width of chan
mel between buoys, that is to say, for
deep water, was two hundred feet. Mr..
Burgwyn's statement seems to corrobo-
rate this showing of the chart. said
nothing about the width of the channel
anywhere else in the river.
Permit me to add that | am not one
of the skeptics, if there be any, who
question the value of the important i'm
provement now going on in James river,
and am an earnest friend of the enter
prise.
Indeed, as | was born on the James
and have been resident much Of my
life on or near the river, have pre-
sumptive right to be friend of its in
terests, and crave the privilege Of not
being classed among the adversaries or
even the critics of the promising i'm
provement which it is now undergoing.
Yours respectfully,
ROBERT w. HUGHES.

Especial telegram to the Dispatch.l
RALEIGH, N. O., January 5.-The
negro Alexander Black. who murdered
Mark McCleas's wife, near Dover, Tues
day night, has been arrested and sent to
iail at Trenton. lie acknowledges the
killing. and says he went back with the
intention of killing McCleas, but found
the latter was not at home. He will
not give his reason for the murder.
To-day Norfeet Jefiries, Jr., and
guard left here for Nash county to get
Henry Davis, the negro who, it is said,
so maryellously escaped death at the
hands of lynchers at Clayton Christmas
eve. The authorities here are not sure
that the party discovered in Nash county
is really Davis. Governor JarSis holds
to the belief that both Davis and Charles
Smith were killed. Mayor Dodd, Of
this city, is inclined to the belief that
neither Davis nor Smith were killed,
but that both escaped from the lock-
up at Clayton while the guards were in
a drunken sleep. Tomorrow the per-
sons who have gone after the alleged
Davis will probably return. The mat
ter continues to create an unprecedented
sensation.

MooREFIELD, w. Va, january o.
This town is greatly excited over tho
attempt to get possession Of the Office
and records Of the county clerk. Women
and children are hid In darkcned rooms
and the streets are full Of excited and
angry men. Fights are numerous. The
question is a curious one, and involves
the seating of the Democratic State
ticket elected at the October election.
AT that election constitutional
amendment was adopted changing
the time for holding the State
election from the second Tues
day Of October to the first Tuesday Of
November. A number Of people, be-
lieying the election held for the State
officers to be void, prepared ticket for
State officers, which was voted for No
vember 4th, receiving 1000 votes in
the State. On one of these tickets
William Loeb, who had been for years
clerk Of this county, had his name
printed, and he received at the Noyem-
Der election number of votes. As
no other candidate was voted for, he
declared himself as legally elected,
and announced that he would retain
possession Of the office. His term
expired yesterday, and William viii
son, who was elected at the Octo-
Der election, appeared to claim the
office. Trouble had been antici-
pated, and crowds of friends OF each
from all parts Of the county were on
hand. When Wilson appeared at the
door of the county clerks Office with
his bondsmen he was ordered off by
Loeb. A fight ensued, in which the
office furniture was wrecked, dozen
persons knocked down, and the Wilson
party finally driven from the building.
The mayor issued proclamation clos
ing all saloons, and extra police force
was put on duty. Meantime the clerks
Office was being barricaded and prepa-
rations for siege made. In short time
the attack was renewed by the Wilson
men. Wilson was struck over the head
by son of Clerk Loeb and, it is feared.
fatally injured.
Loeb would have been lynched had
the crowd succeeded in getting at
him. The sheriff organized posse and
charged the courthouse, arresting a
number and taking possession Of the
building. Guards were placed, and all
night long the pickets paced the court
house grounds. Soon after dark the
opposing parties separated, and while
portions of them built bontires, around
which they discussed the "war," a
larger portion adjourned to halls, where
speeches were delivered on the legaI
aspect of the case. Loeb has taken pos
session of the Office. The affair simply
from legal standpoint has State in
terest. If Loeb succeeds in retaining
the office, it virtually seats the Prohi
bition State ticket to the exclusion O
the Democratic State ticket-elect.

Condition Of the Iron Trade.

EAsTON, Pa, January 5.-0wing
to the increased depression in the iron
business, several trains on the Lehigh
Valley railroad were discontinued this
morning. Among the trains suspended
was an iron-train that had been on the
road every working-day during the past
nineteen years. This train hauled all
the iron shipped by the Thomas Crane,
Parryville, Bethlehem, Coleraine, and
Glendon Iron companies, and had not
been idle day during the time men
toned. Its suspension shows that the
sale Of iron at the furnaces in Lehigh
Valley is a great deal less than during
the panic ten years ago. One of the
other trains taken off carried coal to
furnaces along the road. The steel-mill
of the Bethlehem Iron Company, which
has been idle several weeks, resumed
work this morning.
PITTSBURGH, January 5.-The iron
trade is beginning to show signs of re-
yiying. Shoenberger's old mill and
nail-factory started up to-day after a
suspension Of several weeks. The fin
ishing and pudding departments of lug
& Co. have also resumed, and the bar
mill will start up Wednesday. At the
Keystone Bridge Company's Works
there was a resumption in all depart
ments at a slight reduction in the wages
of all the employees except those regu-
lated by the amalgamated scale. By
these assumptions about l,j00 men are
given employment.
