FROM WASHINGTON.
Especial Correspondence of tho Alexs. GAzErr.
WASHINGTON. D. c.. Sept. Z, 1889.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. Sept. Z, 1889.
People from Petersburg, here to day, say
that General Malone. instead Of having
conference with all his lieutenants at one
time. as has been printed, has had series
of conferences with certain NUMBER OF
them at time, and that when one was
over he would have another one with an
other set. and that this has been going on
sinoe Tuesday last. At these conferences
the condition of affairs of the several coun-
ties and districts are discussed and the plans
for the conduct of the campaign in them ar
ranged. 1t Ia understood that not only were
Mahoneites invited to these conferences,
but also. all the "kickers" except the most
pronounced ones, and that the expenses OF
all who accepted we're paid. General
Malone, it is said, tells his guests that he Ia
confident of victory. and that the strength
of those "kickers" who have not submitted
themselves to his"malign influence" doesnt
amount to "shucks."
No class postmssters were de-
cspitsted to day, bat large number OF

SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 7.

EX-SENATOR R1DDLEBERGER. who has no
little ii fuence in his section of the State,
says: Republicans never won victory In
Virginia with Malone to the front. He
stole his way into the U. s. Senate,
and now tries to steal Offices. There is
nothing else in it. No man should fail to
think. General Malone has no idea OF De-
ing elected. He has too much sense to have
had his two sons appointed to ofice IN THIS
district if he had INDUCED any hope"
MIR. c. B. Hood of Culpeper, says: Myself
Eggborn and number of other republicans
of this county have refused to support him,
(Mahone) and 1 am satisfied Culpeper will
give at least 500 majority against him.
Yes, the white republicans of Virginia
know that Malone victory next fall would
not only be injurious to the State, but be the
worst thing that could possibly happen to
them. individually as we'll as collectively.

The reliability of southern news published
in northern newspapers may be judged oy
the fact that dispatch from the race trou'
hled district in Mississippi, printed in a New
York paper, commences by saying 1.-THE
negroes are in frightful state of fear" and
ends by saying 1.-The negroes have threaten
cd to burn every house in Lefore county,
and have already burned the store and house
of Mr.. James because he refused to sell them
ammunition" The latter part of the dis
patch warrants the superstition that the
white people of the afflicted region, rather
than the negroes thereof, are in "frightful
state of fear"

TT WAS A MONSTER.

Mr.. Ha1Tal now calls for the assistance OF
our or five gentlemen, to one of whom he as
igns the duty of holding the kite upright.
lie himself takes position say fifty yards
way, with a firm grip on the line. Another
posts still further back. and third aud
ourth are several hundred feet distant in re-
rive for an emergency. Everything being
u readiness, the word is given to ''let CO."
nd at the same time the master of ceremO-
: les runs two or three rods rearward to bring
ne broad surface full against the wind. For
a instant the magnificent creature seems to
oise itself for flight, and then, with majestic
race, begins its movement heavenwards.
a RAPID ASCENT.
So rapid is the ascent that the line is drawn
trough and burns the HANDS, forcing Mr.
.arral TO fall back and rally, as it were, on
Is first reserve The kite is now among the
ronger currents of the upper atmosphere,
high as to call for the best efforts OF ali the
antleInen on duty TO withstand the pull and
anage the cord. Eight hundred, thou
nd, fifteen hundred feet have gone almost
fore YOU arc aware of it, and the colossal
~ is sailing backwards and forwards among
re clouds, scarcely larger to the eye than q
hite winged bird Now and then a strong.
gust than usual strikes the kite. and we
e dragged forward, and must either give it
ore rope or be taken Off our feet. The SEN
ton is celebrating almost feyerish.
"SupIose VIC fasten the kite to a boat and
ke n sail" suggested Mr. Harral after a
bile; 1.-THE wind is in just the right quarter
off shore, and strong enough TO send US fly

A l. IfyhA nj To,
ough for a couple, was procured, together
tn TN extra pair of oars, and arrangements
icllly made for the trip. Both of the gen
men were good swimmers and familiar
tn the sea in all Of its moods, but it was
emed prudent to remove coat, waistcoat
shoes How the little craft might net
len struck by a boisterous wave was as yet
unknown quantity.
The kite line was now brought down to tee
,ter's edge and the slack rove through the
inter ring in the bow Of the boat; the
yagers took their places, one III the bow
d the other at the stern, the helpers re-
sed their hold and in a second, almost i'm
'ceptibly, we were gliding seward as
lily as Il swan. In the cove from which
start was made the water was compare
ely smooth. but beyond the rocky point

Ii other and the crested waves told Of
avy sea.
t was evident from the beginning that the
y would not obey the ordinary rudder in
endeavor to hug the wind, which it was
,essary to do in order to reach the open
nd, and accordingly two oars were put
to leeward, one on the stern quarter and
other amidships. With this aid we found
,ossible to swerve the boat several points
4 N the direction in which the wind was

und the dangerous reef Immediately

several times enabled us to keep the Kite
nearly abeam while we checked speed, and
thus escaped collision with vessels sailing
across our track. The remark may here be
made parenthetically that the peopleon these
vessels invariably regarded our cockleshell,
as it danced from one wave to another, with
amazement, for our motive power was mere
speck in air, and the line connecting us with
it invisible
To say we were not anxious would be I'M
true, for we were eagerly alert in observing
every new and threatening symptom, and
the one who occupied the bow sat there with
open knife in hand, ready at the least indica-
ton of swapping TO cut the cord; but the
further we went ths more we liked it.
This confidence growing on us, we allowed
the land gradually to recede from view, and
looking ahead determined to make some har-
Dor on Long Island. The distance from shore
to shore in that locality is about twenty
three miles, but at the rate we were moving
little more than two hours would be occupied

4 Toad Tackles a snake.

Il once saw something when n small boy, "
said an old stager yesterday that l never
heard of since, and that was toad attack a
snake, after the latter had been forced to let
so his hold 1t was in a blacksmith shop
built Of logs in Indiana county The black
smith was working ut his anvil when a
squeaking sound was heard at one side Of the
shop which attracted attention.
Turning TO look, the blacksmith and the
narrator saw large toad dragging himself
into the Enclosure, with fifteen inch garter
snake following. The snake had the hind
leg of toad swallowed. With a pair of hot
tcngs the blacksmith caught the snake.
which released its hold as quickly as possible.
Instead of hopping away, as was to be ex-
pected, the toad turned itself around and.
leaping six inches high in the air, came down
on the body of the snake and bit itsavagely."
