president; Charles p. Rady, secretary.
The meeting was opened with prayer
by Rev. Mr.. Campbell, pastor OF the
Fifth-Street Methodist church, Man
chester, and singing by Trinity school.
Master Willie Gary made very
earnest and well-delivered address OF
welcome. Miss Emma Binns recited
the poem, +" Jesus On the Cross" after
which the infant class, numbering about
seventy-five, sang in nice style piece
entitled. Little Toilers."
Rev. James {. Reed, pastor OF Trinity
church, made an interesting report OF
the work of Trinity school. He re-
ported fifteen conversions from the
school during the past season of revival.
Rev. w. L. Evans, Of Park-Place
church, addressed the meeting on the
Difficulties of Sunday-School Work"
Rev. w. E. Edwards, of Centenary
church, also addressed the meeting on
the subject Of " Adult Attendance on

Mr.. West (president stated that the
meetings Of the Society were suspended
in January and February in order that
all the Sunday-school workers might
take advantage of the widespread reli-
gious feelings in al. the Methodist
churches, and reap the reward of their
labors in the conversion Of the children
Of the Sunday school.
The meeting was full Of deep re-
ligious interest.
In consequence Of the interruption TO
the regular meetings the full reports
were not sent in, but it was evident
that all the schools are doing well, and
the roll and attendance equal to the
general average.
The next meeting will be held at
Union-Station Methodist church on the
second Sunday in April.

In compliance with the request of the

night on Odd-Fellowship. The MEN,

lodges and number of members of sis
ter lodges of Richmond met at the lodge
room and attended in body, wearing
their regalia. The church-gallery and
aisles-was packed, and a number of
persons were unable to gain admission.
The singing of the choir was good. The
speaker took as his text. Let love

also attributes of the divine character
and principles of the divine govern

He closed by urging the Odd-Fellows TO

make you that you shall be neither

A regular monthly meeting of the

There are several very important mat
tiers to occupy the attention Of the
Council at this meeting. among them
the questions of submitting to the vote

ating 10000 to the capital stock OF
the street railway to be constructed,
and Of appropriating $4,000 for the
purpose of erecting two new school
houses. which the city stands sadly in
need of. There are special committees
representing each Of these causes. and
doubtless the arguments in favor OF
each will be very strong.
The city churches were well attended
Sunday. At the Bainbridge Baptist
church Sunday morning one person was
received by letter. Rev. DR.. A. f..

The Alleged Interference with the
Riddlebcrgcr Bill.
For the Dispatch


1t is understood that Judge Bond OF
Judge Hughes said on the bench that
the opinion lately given by them at Nor
folk would not have been called for il
the Legislature had not interfered with
the Riddleberger bill. As this express
sion was no doubt intended to throw
odum on a Democratic Legislature. |
beg leave to show how Judge Bond
probably, and Judge Hughes certainly.
knew that the amendment was necessary
to carry out the true intent and meaning
of the Riddleberger act. The preamble
of the bill (see Acts Of Assembly 1881
80, pages 94-5, as quoted by Judge
IIughes's decree of September 2d) de
clares that the revenues Of the State are
inadequate to pay more than 3 per cent.
annual interest on this debt" (s2l ,055,-
377). which interest amounts annually
to sG3l ,06l.3l.
But the Judge says in the decree above
quoted that the aggregate of tax-re-
ceivable coupons that will accrue du-
ring the next thirty-five years on the
consol and the 1910 bonds if funding
is defeated by recent legislation will be
sum approximating 100000, 900"
Now. the real accretion in the time
mentioned by Judge Hughes will be
s33, This, when funded at
par, as Judge Hughes's argument de-
mands it shall be, will increase the
debt within the time limited for re-
demption to s54, l55, ,002. or about $50
per cent. and the increase Of interest
will ultimately swell that item to
81, ,624, ,650.06 against s63l. .0Gl.3l, as
at present designed-a total one and a
half times more debt and tax than the
bill claims the State can bear.
If this statement be correct. then it
follows that General Malone, who drew
the law, made a mistake, which ought
to be corrected to make the bill con-
sistent with itself; or if he made no
mistake, that then he intended to de-
ceive the people. Whichever alterna-
tive be taken il is clear that duty to
consistency or to the people demanded
that the amendment should make the
law conform to its true intent. which
was not to run the debt up TO s54,-
l55.002. but to keep it down to s2t,-

PULLED OFT roo LATE.
A Woman Falls in the Basin and Is Res.
cued Therefroni, but Dies.

About 81 O'Clock yesterday morning
the watchman on duty at the Allegheny
railroad depot heard cries of distress
proceeding from the south side of the
basin near Tenth street. Upon going
there he found colored woman named
Kate Jackson in the water and nearly
drowned. She was rescued. and was
being taken to her home. in rear of OLE
Byrd street. when she died.
The woman had been out from home
all of the preceding night. and is sup
posed to have been drinking. Her
death was probably caused by the wet
ting she got and exposure.
Where she fell into the basin the
water was not very deep, but she was
unable to help herself out, and it is
likely she had been in there consider
able time before she made herself heard.
The Coroner viewed the body, but,
being satisfied that death was acci-
dental, held no inquest.
Deceased was about forty-five or fifty
years of age and was married.

HIS SALARY DRAWN.

fnvessigation.
The House Investigating Committed
will meet at the Capitol to-day 10 hear
several clerks of courts who preferred
to give their depositions in person rather
than by answering the interrogatories
in writing. The committee will proba-
bly, be in session several days.
A new development Of the investiga-
toni that the salary Of Mr.. Caldwell, late
clerk Of the Supreme Court of Appeals
at Wythcville. with which Mr.. Caldwell
expected to Offset large portion of his
indebtedness to the Commonwealth. has
already been drawn.
Upon receipt Of the committees IN
terrogatories Mr.. Caldwell forwarded a
statement Of his account and check
for $500. That check and his salary
due by the State for about nine years,
and credit of sum previously paid,
squared his account. Now, it appears
that s4,133.33 of his salary--nearly
all of it-has already been drawn.
No vouchers therefor can be found.
The money was drawn out in two
instalments--one Of SO, 1898 in 1882,
one Of sl,400 in 1883. The warrant
was drawn on the Treasurer by Mr..
Smith. and Mr.. Smith receipted upon
the Treasurer's books for the warrants.
