RICHMOND, Va, December 27.-Mayor
Ellison, of this city, this morning re-
ceived a letter from Mrs. Jefferson Davis
in reply to the request that the body of
her husband be buried here, dated Beau
voir, Miss, December 21st. In il she
says:
the people of Richmond sustained him
during the war, his affection for her
citizens and the calm fortitude OF her
men and women under crushing defeat,
were to be the moving cause only, I
might lay him there unquestioned but
the State Of his birth (Kentucky), the
State of his adoption, which showered
every honor on him within her gift
(Mississippi), the State where the Con-
federacy first unfurled her flag Gala
bama), the State in which his parents
spent their early days and where his
father was born and where
my. husband has received many honors
(Georgia), the State in which we found
friends and home, and where our dead
repose (Tennessee), and last, but not
least, the State which now gives him a
sepulcher amid the tears of thousands OF
her people (Louieiana), all these have
put forth claims 60 strong l can not
choose among them, and have decided
to wait perhaps year before making the
selection. To rest in the same soil with
your immortal heroes, General Robert
E. Lee and Stonewell Jackson, is priv
ilege fully appreciated, and | should be
the last to undervalue the honor, but
when the final decision must be made it
l. ~
those who have done me the honor to
claim the custody of my dead, and 1 beg
you to have patience with me for sea-
son. -

arrest. he killed two whites and
wounded q third. Mayor Hobbs call
for troops was unnecessary and aggra-
waited the situation. The news spread
throughout the country and a hundred
irresponsible parties focked to town on
trains from every direction. The lead
ing spirit in the outrage committed
after dark on negroes, was q
lightning-rod agent from Cincinnati.
Jessup's citizens were not con-
nected with the wbippings, and deplore
the lawless acts. Brewer has four fol-
lowers, all well armed. They may in
retaliation kill some whites in the thinly
settled country, but will not dare attack
Jessup. They will themselves be killed
eventually, as they are hunted by hounds.
SAVANNAH. Ga, December 27.-No
further troubles have occurred at Jessup.
Affairs are returning to their usual status.

Washinxtan WAITS.

tractors for the construction of the new

NIITREs CONFERRED.
Three New Bishops COnsecrated
ST. Paul.

Three New Bishops COnsecrated at
ST. Paul.
ST. PAUL, December 27.-This city was
the scene this morning OF an event of
more than ordinary interest to church
men, in the conservation of three new
Bishops, with all the august rites and
imposing ceremonials of the Roman
Catholic Church. The ceremony was
conferred by Archbishop Ireland, assisted
by the Most Reverend Thomas L. Grace.
The priests on whom the mitre was con.
ferred were Rev. John Stanley, of ST..
Paul; Rev. James McGolrick, OF Mime.
apolis, and Rev. Joseph B. Cotter, of
Winona. The papal briefs. which were
read by the resident Bishops notary, in
full robes, first in Latin, then in English,
appointed Bishop Stanley to the See OF
North Dakota, while Bishop McGolrick
goes to the diocese of Duluth, and Bishop
Cotter will have charge of the diocese Of
Winona. The doors of st. Peters cathe-
dral were thrown open at O'Clock, and
before 10 over 5000 people thronged the
edi6ce. Sixteen Bishops were in pro-
cession, in the ranks of which figured
also nearly 300 priests. 1t was superb
and impressive spectacle.

THE MONEY MARKET.
A sudden Advance Followed by q
Qa1ck Decline.


New YORK, December 27.-The con-
tinued stringency in money was more
marked today, and from the opening OF
the Stock Exchange loaning rates ruled
at high figures. In the first half hour
loans were renewed at 9 per cent, and
the first loan of money on call was made
at 10 per cent. The rate quickly moved
up to IL, then to Is, 20. 20 and 30, and
it was stated some loans were privately
made at above 80. The price fell back
to 20, and large amount was required
at that figure. The prices of stocks were
we'll sustained in the face of the stringent
money market, and some of the special
ties made slight advances.
The higher rates for money caused a
further reduction in the rates for Sterling
exchange, which is now down to about
the gold importing price, and the proba'
bility that the continuance of the high
rate for money for even day or two
would correct itself by bringing imports
of gold, was source of encouragement
Z to the holders of stock.

A REVOLUTIONARY RELIC.
Loves Souvenirs Found ON an Old
battlefield.

CANAJoHARIE, December 27.-At Stone
Arabia few days ago citizen found a
begrimed and badly battered metallic
box, six inches long and two inches
deep. The contents consisted Of a
locket, bundle of parchment letters
and piece of faded blue ribbon. The
locket was gold and of fine workman
ship. Ono one side in monogram are
the letters ga. H. D." On the other is
curiously wrought hunting scene. The
letters were all written in 1888, by a
lady of evident royalty residing in Lon
don, to her betrothed, and were couched
; in the most tender language. The super
scription indicates chat the name of the
recipient was Captain Lowe, of the Brit
ish army. There is no record of Cap
tain Lowe having been killed at the bat
tie OF Stone Arabia, but he must have
been present in that awful conflict and
lost the box in the fight. The gentleman
owning the metallic box will gladly sur
render it to relatives of Captain Lowe.

RATE CHARGES.
Another Private Dispatch from MIR.
Richard Gray.


The announcem emit in yesterday morn
ing's HERALD that the transcontinental
roads had decided to reduce the rate on
canned goods to 81 per 100 was welcome
news to the merchants and commission
men in this section, who say that the
reduction will give an impetus to the
canning business, which was badly hurt
by the former advances. The transcon-
tinental representatives are evidently
going over their rate-sheets again,
for during the afternoon yesterday the
following dispatch was received by Mr..
G. F. Smurr, of the Southern Pacific,
from General Freight Agent Richard
Gray, who is at the st. Louis meeting:
crate on dried prunes in packages re-
leased from chatting and shrinkage, $1.20
per hundred to all common points east
has been agreed upon, and will take
effect when published by Chairman"
The principal object of the present
meeting of the Association is to decide
on something regarding the announce
ment, by the Northern Pacific, that it
will withdraw from all agreements. 1t is
expected, in railroad circles, that some
sort of peace treaty will be made, and
everything run as heretofore.
