The Alexandria Gdsette's Washington
under date of the 18th

The Alexandria Gdsette's Washington
correspondent. under date of the 18th
says:
Elk Representative DeZendorf of Vir--
ginia, who is now here on private business,
says the recent secret circular letter OF
General Malone, in view of the c0nces-
sions made him by the Blaine men at the
last national republican convention, is
more than remarkable. He also says the
republicans III Virginia can only hope for
success by means of winning democratic
votes, but that the nomination of Mr..
Sherman. with his bloody shirt record. and
especially the active part he took in
the Danville massacre" affair, would
keep every democrat within the demo-
cratic fold He also says the people of
Virginia are sick aud tired of war reminis-
cences. and are now linking more about
making both ends meet than OF lighting
the war over again in words. wnich would
almost necessarily be the case were Sher-
man nominated. With Blaine as The can
didate, he says, he believes Virginia would
go republican bv a large majority. He
saws he believes that Mr.. Blaine was sin
cere in his letter Withdrawing from the
contest, but that nevertheless he does not
know, nor has he heard of one original
Blaine man who is not now as much in
favor of the .plnmed knight" as ever.
Th above puts the case in nutshell.

The Lonisiana Election.

NEW ORLEANS, April lZ-Reports from
various points in the state show that to-day
election passed quietly. Although nothing
definite can be known until tomorrow, it is gen.
orally believed that the democratic ticket is sue
cessful. The ballot was free in every precinct
and in many instances republicans voted the
democratic ticket a protest against the ma
chine of &c which forced the present state
ticket on the party. There has been much
scratching, and the count is necessarily slow.
Ii is reported from many points that the demo
cratic majority will be the largest in years.
a. M.-Ihe indications are that Nichols is
elected governor by majority of 10000. Spe-
cials give the following democratic maiortles
in the parishes named, and estimated from
partial returns: Concord, $500; East Felieana,
1900; Bunville, 1000; Vermillion, 500; Iberia,

cHURCHMEN EXCITED.
The Union Question Causes Hubbub in the
Chicago Presbytery.


CHICAGO, April 1.-THE annual meet
ing OF the Chicago presbytery began yes
terday The most important feature OF
the day was the introduction of a resolu-
ton on the union of the Northern and
Southern churches by the Rev.Dr Herrick
Johnson of the theological seminary.
Among other things the resolution SAYS:
We cannot consent TO the establishment of a
separate African presby terian church or TO any
provisional arrangement looking forward 10
terian church. We are willing to con-
sent to an arrangement, in the interests solely
of practical efficiency, by which the present
boundaries and constituencies of preSbyteries
and synOds in the South shall remain in statu
QUO, provided this shall be the uncOnStrained
preference Of both parties interested, explic-
lily expressed 10y the several preshyteries, and
provided il bear future adjustments according
20 presbyterian preferences, subject always, as
heretofore to the acts OF the general assembly
- Ii there is a sufficient number of min
listers and churches TO form coiored pres
bytery in any locality already covered by a
sS nod, such presbytery may be formed if those
on the ground desire il, but such presbytery
shall remain IN the same synod, unless there be "a
synod OF our colored Christian brethren near
enough 10 which the presbytery asks TO be at
tached.
The reading OF the resolution created
a profound sensation. \ hot discussion
followed. Dr. Gray protested against it as
reviving the old issues of a bloody war.
DR.. Withrow considered the introduction
of a color line in religion abhorrent, but if
they insisted on coalescing all synods
and presbyteries embraced, he thought
the reunion project would fdl.
To-day the discussion was renewed, and
Elder w H. Gray offered the following
substitute:
Resolved, That this presbytery approve in
substance the statement of the assemblys COM
mittee of correspondence on the subject OF re-
union with the southern branch OF our presby,
terian chur h, and heartily give our voile to a
reunion OF terms which shall aban ION no
principle and be equally honorable to both
branches of the church.
Elder Gray then spoke, saying in sub
stance that he thought a reunion could be
had only by joining hands and saying
nothing
The Rev. ]. w. Worcester thon off.red
another substitute which read:
Resolved, That this presbytery is heartily in
favor Of reunion with the southern church on
the basis OF our common standards, pure and
simple, and the equal right of all disciples of
Christ in every court OF Christ's churches.
A pretty hot debate then followed, but
the matter was finally disposed of by the
adoption of the first portion OF DR.. Wor-
cester's amendment to tie subs;i,l te. read
ing as follows: Resolved, That this pres
bytery is heartily in favor OF reunion w4th
the Southern church on the basis VI our
common standards, pure and simple" The
concluding portion, ''and the equal right
of all disciples of Christ in every court OF
Christs chu ca" !" was voted n separately
and laid upon the table.

History of the Famous Financial and Conn
mercial House of Barring Bros, London.
LONDON April l7.-Mr. John Barring,
the banker, is dead:
John Barring was a member of the firm Of
Barring Brothers 4 Co., one of the greatest
financial and commercial houses in the world
German cloth manufacturer who started small
business at Larkhear, near Exeter, England,
early in the eighteenth century. Two OF his
sons established the now existing house in
London in 1770. Sir Francis, one of the
founders, was reckoned one of the first mer-
chants in Europe, and at the time of his death
had amasSed fortune OF nearly f7,0O0,0O0. Sir
Thomas Barring, son of Sir Francis, succeeded
his father in the baronetcy. He took no active
part in the business of the firm, being chiefly
remarkable as an admirer and encourager of
art. His magnificent collection OF paintings
sdispersed by public sale after his death in
lS4S Sir Francis Thornbull Barring the son
of Sir Thomas, represented Portsmouth from
1926 until 1865 Under successive whig govern
ments he was lord of the treasury, secretary of
the treasury, chancellor of the exchequer and
first lord OF the admiralty. He was more noted
for business aptitude than for politics. His
son, Thomas George Barring, the second Lord
Northbrook, filed many prominent positions
in the English government. Thomas Barring
brother of the first Lord Northbrook, devoted
himself early TO commercial pursuits He was
much more widely known as partner of the
firm of Barring Brothers than as politician In
1885 the head of the firm, Edward Charles Bar
ing, was raised to the peerage as Baron Renel-
stoke The firm is engaged to a large extent in
the negotiation of national loans, in exchange
and money broking, in the produce trade home
and colonial, and in importation and expectation
from and to foreign countries.

Of Grand and serene beauty, but James Bid.

Of grand and serene beauty, but James Bid
dulph scarcely noticed this. He was think
ing of the fair woman he had left behind
him, and OF the light in her dark eyes as
he had clasped her hand in parting.
''But it cannot be, 1 suppose" he NUT
tered, gloomily; and in no happy mood
he at length reached the grey old mansion,
standing amid the dark trees. that his
uncle had lett him.
As he passed up the avenue, there glided
from behind one OF these trees the figure
of woman, whose face was thickly yelled.
This woman had watched his boat cross
the silver moon-track on the loch; had
watched and waited long hours to see him
pass, and now slowly followed him un-
seen.

A shallow Production.
rphnHop~

The republican state central committee has
issued another document called - he Liquor
Traffic; How TO Meet and Overthrow It." This
document reads a little Ike Goodwin and IIal-
ford mixed. For instance, IL says the repUb-
lican house local control liquor bill OF the last
legislative session went TO the senate and "was
there permitted to slumber in the hands of a
committee OF its enemies" whereas the fact Is,
the bill was called up in the senate aud failed
for want of the support OF the republican sena-
tors who were present and not voting
But as 10 who wrote the document, that is Of
publican state central committee and is thereby
made its own. II is a shallow production, and
needs only the light of truth from our papers
to rob il OF al its deceptive power.

Custer chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, Black Hills, D.T. [S.D.]) 1880-1890, 1888-12-29

AvoCA, To-, Dec. 21.-Joseph Hair, a
young man in the employ of John Kelly,
a rich bachelor living twelve miles south
Of this city, was murdered last night. He
heard a noise in the barn and went out to
discover the cause. He was gone longer
than was thought necessary, and Kelly
went out to learn the reason. He found
Hair lying in a pool Of blood, his head
battered in and his face terribly disfg-
ureC. Near by was found a roller used
on a harvesting machine covered with
blood. When discovered Hair was IN
conscious. He died today, never recov-
ering sufficiently TO give any information
as to the perpetrator of the crime. No
clue to the murderer has been found, but
the theory is prevalent that he laid in
wait for Kelly, who carried money with
him, and in the darkness killed the wrong
man. Public Indignation runs high, and
il caught the assassin will be dealt with
in a summary manner Hair resided near
Council Bluffs. He was 20 years old.
