quirer's correspondent sends the Sollowing
BIT Of humor to his paper: Some of the
presidents visitors were iamening
the possibility of cholera vista
ticl the ether day. Mr.. Cleveland said:
I'D ,n't alarm yourselves nesdlessly. Fer
my art would net mind if there were two
OF three cholera cases now in front of the
WHITE Hau'e. guess they would scare eff
the office eekers."
1t is remembered here that when during
Mr.. Lncoln's presidency there was ease of

ington special says that the only sense in
which it is true that the president "has
called halt in removals from Office is
hereafter matters viii necessarily pro
coed slower, because sueh cases as
that of Kellar have convinced him
OF the necessity of investigating the
details of each case. He has also assured
Governor Hoadley. of Ohio, and Representa-
tive Barbour, of Virginia, that fonrth-class
postoffices shall be filed with Democrats.
The only genuine halt is on charges against

NORFOLK, April Is, 1885.
The Grand Lodge Of 0dd-Fellows
reassembled this morning, with Grand
Master Bucher in the chair. Prayer
by the Grand Chaplain.
The Committee on Charters reported
in favor of granting charters to all new
lodges.
Messrs. Walters, of Staunton Spit
ger, of Richmond. and Whitehurst, OF
Portsmouth. were appointed commit
tee for redistricting the State for the re-
appointment Of district deputy grand
masters.
None other but routine business was
transacted. and the Grand Lodge ad-
ourned till 2:30 o'clock this afternoon.
The unwrtten werk Of the order was
exemplified by Grand Representatives
Blanks and Colbert at the morning ses-
sion, and in the afternoon sort OF
love-feast" " was held in which mem
bers of the various lodges gave in their
experience " as Odd-FellOws.
The principal business Of the after
noon session was the election of grand
officers. as follows George W. Beach,
Atlantic City (Norfolk). grand master
James b. Ley, Danyille, deputy grand
master; A. A. Splitter, Richmond,
grand warden; Rev. j. j. Sherrer,
Smythe county, grand chaplain I.
Wiley Davis, Richmond, grand Secre-
tary John W. FERGUSON, Richmond,
recording secretary; j. b. Blanks, Pc
terSbmg, grand representative.
George Williams, who was arrested
on suspicion of having attempted to
rob and murder Mrs. ID. ID. Kelley, has
been identified by that lady as heI
assaiant. A shawl, which was taker
from the buggy by the man who
assaulted Mrs. Kelley, was found a
the house Of Williamss wife, and ther,
seems to be but little doubt that he is
the guilty party.
The friends of Lieutenant Remey be.
leye that Williams was in some way
connected with the disappearance oi
that gentleman-that is to say, it is sug-
gested that Williams may have murder
ed Lieutenant Remey and concealed his
body in the woods, and that his victim
may have haunted his dreams until he
became somewhat crazy on the subject,
and that the woods had horrible fasci-
nation for him. 1t should be explained
that Williams took three different peo-
pie into the woods to see a dead man,
and he still insists that he saw man
lying down in the woods, but whenever
he took anybody there to see it the
corpse had disappeared. The woods will
be searched to-day by the officials.
ELLA.

here.

utes.
Mr.. Grattan offered the following

Committee on Resolutions:
/. That the discrimination shown by
the railroads crossing the State to deep
water in favor Of through freights is a
direct blow to the success of agricul-

trary to those principles Of public
policy upon which their charters rest,
and under which the Commonwealth,
in the exercise Of its power, took pri-
yate property for public uses.
3. That the farmers Of Virginia, at
the coming election for delegates to the
General Assembly, are urged to select
men pledged to right this wrong, and to
hold said delegates to strict accounta-
bility for their action in the premises.

preston Of farmers, and after some

ton of the Farmers Association of

Lucia" by the Milan Opera Com
pany.

When the curtain fell on the per-
formance Of Lucia" last evening the
opinion was that the third appearance
Of the Milan Opera Company was as
good as any previous night.
1t was a pleasure to hear the voice of
Mile Romeldi in the recitative passages
and florid arias with which the r0ie Of
" Lucia" the ill-fated " Bride of Lam
mermoor," is so literally provided.
The sopranos execution is, as lt were,
tested and tried by flute obligaio, in
what is called the mad scene of
the third act. but Mile ROmeldi over
came all the difficulties with remarkable
ease. and the audience was treated to a
flow of vocal pyrotechnics such as are
not usually heard. The duet in the
first act by Mile Romeldi and Signor
Montegriilo was most beautifully rem
dered. and called forth repeated ap-
plause. Signor MOntegrilIo won a tri-
umph in the death scene Of the final act,
where, in addition to his perfect yocali-
zation, his wonderful dramatic power
was brought out with effect.
In the role of Ashton Signor Vansani
sang splendidly. his management Of the
upper register of his voice Neing excel
lent, and his phraSing that ofa thorough
artist. Signor Bologna, as Raimondo,
was quite successful in this part, but
the role does not afford him much scope.
The excellency Of the company as a
whole was best shown by the manner
in which the famous seXtctte in the
second act was rendered. This was
sung with remarkable effect. and richly
deserved the applause awarded.
The general orcheStration was very
fine, only that at times the brass-work
was too heavy and almost entirely
drowned the vOcalzation. Another,
and a decidedly Objectionable, feature
of the performance, and which has been
particularly noticeable each night, was
the singular unanimity with which the
prompter was heard giving out the
lines to the singers. He seemed to
be under the impression that none
Of the artists or member of the chorus
were well up IN their parts, and he
must give them every word. This may
have been pleasing to him, but it must
have been embarrassing to the singers,
as it was painfully distressing to the
audience. his loud and frequent utter
ances being heard in all parts of the
house.
The programme announced for this
evening is made up Of three operas
viz. the first act Of Troyatore, the
third act of Faust, and the second act
of Martha.

WATCH-KEY AND THE RINGS
Interview with Mr.. Quyuius, M.---A Love
SiOry--VarioI Notes.

When Mr.. Herman Joel got to his
store. At No. 100 Broad street, yester-
day morning, he found that he was fa-
nous. A number Of people stood there
waiting to talk to him about the watch
kew. Mr.. Joel was patient and polite
with them all but stated that he had
nothing more to say; that he regretted
he had consented TO converse on the
subject at all, but that the Di'pateh
had reported him exactly right. He
had copy Of the paper in his pocket,
and said that he meant to mail it to
his home in Europe. What puzzled
him most was how the newspaper-man
got his language down with such accu-
racy, for Mr.. Joel said that the gen.
tleman didn't make a note or draw
pencil to write.
Mr.. Joel was born in Austria, is Of
the lsraelitish faith, and has been IN
this country about four years. The IN
formation coming from him about the
watch-key found near the reservoir land
by him identified as one that he had re-
paired for Cluverius at Centrevllle
within a year pasD was not offered vol
UNFAIRLY. A letter from down the cOun-
try induced Mr.. Wren to visit him.
The result of that visit was Mr.. Joel
identifies the key.
The authorities expect to prove by
him that he put in a new barrel, or
tube, or mendcd the old one but the
most that Mr.. Joel has admitted to his
newspaper visitors is that he had
handled" this key. lie would like
to be allowed to take it TO pieces to see
if he cen find certain Of his work--a
Joint or something-inside.
He was last week taken to the jail,
saw Cluyerius and recognized him at
once. and wanted to talk to him, but
was not permitted to do so by the Off
GERS.
When Cluverius brought him the
key he thinks Cluverius took 1t from a
black watch-guard. He thinks-is not
sure, but HmkS-that he sold Cluye-
rius a watch-chain afterwards. When
he gets his book from down the country
he will ascertain positively, and if he
sold it will be able to give the date Of
sale.
The officers of the Commonwealth,
for reasons which they deem sufficient,
and which the Dispatch is by no means
disposed to question, decline to allow
the watch-key TO be photographed for
reproduction in an engraving. The cut
given below is therefore not official -
Ii is drawn from memory, and en-
bodies what two or three who have of
late frequently seen the key remember
about il.
