| Again VIC are in the palatial home of
| Herbert Cecil Moptmorenci, the mysterious
| Millionaire.
Herbert and Hortense are sitting tete-d-
tete at the table in the breakfast room. 1t
is furnished entirely ia light blue and white.
The walls are covered with siiken draperies
and dainty aquarelles of fishing and hunt
Jag scenes. There is an air Of refinement
and subdued luxury everywhere.
''Onee more, and for the last time, Her.
bert, ask you to tell me what your bust
ness is" says Hortense as she toys with her
golden teaspoon and glances across the ia
BILE at her husband.
and once more, and for the last time
refuse" answers Herbert with grim smile,
as he daintily wipes his month with point
lace napkin.
"You positively refuse?"
81 positively refuse"
Enough"
The lady stretches forward her dainty
jewelled hand and touches golden bell. A
stately butler enters with noiseless tread.
sJohnson, tell Mr.. Simpson 1 will see him
here at once"
The butler disappears and in the next
moment ushers in Theopilus V. Simpson,
the famous detective. He bows politely to
Mr.. and Mrs. Montmorenci and stands wait
ing in silence.
''You have followed my instructions?'
inquiries Hortense eagerly of the detective.
81 have, madam"
Sand you succeeded"
sI did,
'And his business?n she asks, rising part
way from her golden Louis XIV. chair in
her increasing excitement.
There is dreadful pause and silence SO
intense that seems to fill the room to suf
location AID be trying to burst the limits of
the walls and escape into the world at large
This lasted fully thirty seconds. Then the
detective leans forward and in a voice trem-
bling with the intensity Of his emotion,
says in hoarse whisper:
"He is the head waiter in a Coney Island
hotel"
With the smothered shrek of stihed
maniac Hortense fell prone upon the As
syrian carpet.
Herbert arose quietly, calmly lighted a
cigarette, and, turning to the detective, said
in tone of cool villainy: 81 have played
my game and have lost. wish you joy
of your victory"
Then pointing to the PROSTATE figure Of
Hortense he smiled sardonically and left the
room with the we'll bred ease so charsc-
teriStic of the true aristOcrat and head wait
or.

was begun on Wednesday by reunion
alumni and the delivery OF the historical ad.
dress by Gen. F. II. Smith. The business
meeting of alumni followed. Gov. Filzhugh
Lee was chosen by alumni, and will bs re-.
commended to the board of visitors for i'm.
mediate election to succeed Gen. Smith as
superintendent in January next. The pa.
rade of the corps of cadets and sham battle
were reviewed by Gov. Lee and Gov. Buck.
ner, of Kentucky. Senator Faulkner, of
West Virginia, delivered an eloquent ad.
dress before the alumni Wednesday night
and was followed by Col. Edmund Pendle-
ton, who read Mrs. Margaret ]. Preston's
semi-ceDtennial ode. The alumni banquet
at 10 followed and speeches were made by
Gov. Lee, Major P. ]. Otey, Gen. F. II.

Yesterday was centennial or graduating day
at the institute. The cadets marched to the
Washington and Lee University chapel, &C.
oompanied by the board of visitors, alumni
and invited guests. where the early history
of the insttute. as sketched by Col. J. T. L.

Mr. Kimberley, of Norfolk, for the Toxic consulate
but that place has been given to Delaware man,

Kimberley's friends say that Mr.. Blaine recon-
mended him. but other people say that the en-
dorsement OF General Malone on his application
cooked his goose with the ''nan from Maine"
The explosion of fireworks here yesterday, was
carried to greater extent than ever before.
Whether this was the result of increased patriotic
enthusiasm or to the decreased price OF the ex.
plosives ia not known, but probably the latter, as
that price was only one third Of what it was last
year.
Mr. George Phillips, assistant marshal of the
District of Columbia, having been informed by
the marshal that his place was wanted for a man

long enough to teach that man the duties of his
position, very properly resigned, as he deemed

Louis o. Shaner, colored, was brought be.
fore Judge Bond in Baltimore yesterday on
writ of habeas corpus, and although final.
ly remanded to the custody of the Lynch.
burg authorities, the main point on which
the petition hinged, and the Only point OF
public interest, WIS decided in shaner's ia
vor, viz: the legality OF tender of Virginia
coupons as payment for fine and costs up
on criminal charge. Shaner was arrest
ed for assault and was fined 5000 and costs.
He rendered coupons in payment, and tie
magistrate refused to accept them. Judge
Bond decided yesterday that the tender was
legal one, and discharged the obligation.
But on the return of the sergeant of Lynch.
Durg reciting that Shaner was also held no.
der another and entirely different charge,
he remanded the prisoner to custody. Il ia
understood this is the first time the Virginia
coupons have figured in case of this char.
acter.
Mr.. W. W. Larklp, of Lynchburg, was
counsel for Shaner, the State of Virginia be.

The petition in this case and the rsturn o..
Mat. j. Day, sergeant Of the city of Lynchburs
thereto, having been read aud considered iC is
ordered that the said Lewis O. Shaner TO DIS
charged from the custody of said sergeant he be-
lug unlawfully held by him in custody upon the
wfts of capias set out in the petition ator having
t,ndered coupons of the bonds of the State Of Viz
ginis for the fines imposed upon him. such cou-
pons being by law of Virginia receivable for al;
taxes, debts, dues and demands due the Stat.
But it appearing from the said return that tbs,
petitioner is held also by Mat J. Day upon othe :

set out fully in the sergeants return, the petit
toner is returned to the custody OF the sergeant

The Norfolk and Western Wreck.

The loss of life by the wrecking of a pas
senger train on the Norfolk and Western
Railroad near Tha1ton's, is greater than at
first reported. So far twenty-one persons
are known to have been killed, and the list
of the dead is to be increased. Thirty were
wounded, ten seriously. There was hard.
ly enough left of the train of eight cars to
make one car. Unrecognizable portions OF
eight bodies were taken out. and 1t -is be-
lieved that fully fifteen others were entirely
consumed by the fire.
Among those killed were c. L. Peyton,
stenographer for Superintendent Osborne,
of the Western division OF the road, and his
death.
Mr.. Peyton was we'll known in this city,
and was brother of MIR. Geo. Peyton, of
the Midland road.
Bishop Apheue W. Wilson, who was a
passenger on the train, gives che following
account of the wreck
II was on route for Baltimore, my home,
and travelled In the Washington sleeper. A
slight jolt awakened me, and presently
felt that the Car was pluDging downward as

WASHINGTON. D. c.. July 5, 1889.
Ex-Congreesnsn Brady, of Virginia, is
still mere, striving, but ia vain, for the col
lectorship of Internal revenue for his, the
Richmond, district, and, Incidentally, for q
share of the federal patronage of Virginia
for certain ofhis. the anti Malone faction Of
the republican party of his State. He was
at botn the Postotfice aud Treasury depart
ments this morning on missions for the &C
complishment of these objects, but received
little or no satisfaction. he expected to be
ioiueti this morning by Mr.. John S. Wise, Of
New York, but was disappointed. Mr..
Wise, th ough now OF New York, having OBJ
tanned West Point cadetship for his son as
from Virginia, is not as personally interest
ed in Virginia affairs as formerly.
General Mahone is still here, but expects
10 lesve for Petersburg pretty soon. Indeed
he will have to be there on the OH, as his
called conference with the leaders of his
wing of the Virginia republicans meets
there on that day.
Il was reported here at noon to day that
Maurice Adler, the pool seller, the man shot
by Frank Ward, the mlkman, two weeks
ago. was dying.
As Col. Garrison, Assistant Postmaster
General, is absent on pleasureA excursion,
bis work of beheading democratic Ali class
postmasters was suspended to-day.
A we'll informed democratic politician
from Richmond here to-day says only six or
eight counties ia his State have as yet elect
ed delegates to the State democratic con-
ventiou, and that from those elections moth.
ing definite can be known of the feelings of
the convention, but that from what is in the
air he is induced to believe that none of the
gentlemen prominently spoken OF for the
gubernatoral nomination will receive
enoug votes to nominate him on the first
ballot, and that after that the convention
will probably settle upon Mr.. Venable of
Petersburg, thereby honoriug the district
that saved the State last fall, and at the
came time taking man with an unexoep.
tionable record, and for the necessary ex-
penses OF whose campaign the counties will
not have to be assessed.
The five supervisors of census in Virginia have
not vet been appointed. There are many appli.
csnts for each OF these places among both wings
the republican party, and strong fight will be
