GENERAL NEWs.

The success Of the Tobacco Fair to be
held in this city on the 18th, goth. and 2lst
of November is guaranteed. A sufficient
sum has been subscribed to assure this fact,
and the premiums will be arranged this
week. Exhibits are expected from four
teen counties in this section.
A rain-storm prevailed here all last night,
accompanied at times by high winds. The
ground this morning was thoroughly satu-
rated.
Notwithstanding the recent advance in
the price of peanuts the receipts in this
market are extremely light. There IS little
or no stock in the hands Of the producers.
and a very light stock in the hands Of the
commission merchants here. Hence the
offerings are light. ROBIN ADAIR.

PETERSBURG. September IS, 1889.
Mr.. Francis Rives Lassiter, arising young
LAWYER of this city, it Is said has been
offered and has accepted the position OF
district chairman of the Democratic party.
Mr.. Lassiter is one of the most active
young Democrats in the city, and he VIII
doubtless guide the canvass into very
lively and hopeful channel.
The conference of the anti-Mahone Re
publicans to be held in Richmond on the
ist of October will very probably prove
surprise to oil who have been disposed TO
belittle the Republican opposition TO
General Malone. OF course the acton or
the conference cannot be told until the
body meets and discusses the plans that
are TO be submitted. The attendance VIII
be large, and composed of men who are
leaders in their sections. and the prediction
may safely be made that the action OF the
conference Will have important influence
in the State contest.
The readers of the Dispatch no doubt re-
member the beautiful metricai address re-
cited by the late Captain James Barron
Hope on the anniversary of the battle OF
the Crater before the surviving oihcers
and men of Mahone's brigade at their re-
union held several years ago In Norfolk.
This address has been reproduced III neat
pamphlet form for distribution, as ~ re-
ported, lOr pOltlCsil cHcCt III wv PAO'ON'
CAMPAIGN among the soldier element.
The announcement that Hon. X. Taylor
Scott, the Democratic candidate for At.
tornoy-General is TO speak in nearly all of
the counties of the South Side during the
early days of October causes sincere grail
fication among Democrats. who have Sc
verely commented upon the apparent de-
lay in measures for organizing the party
throughout this important section. and tor
which the people have been unable To. give
satisfactory reason. A very prominent
Democrat recently said to your correspond
ent that thorough organization was the
first thing needed in this district, and that
such organization in every county could
not be perfected too soon.

A distinguished Republican thinks that
General Malone will make n great mistake
in going off on a canyassing tour, for the
reason that there is no man in the state
who can fill his place az chairman or who
can attend to the important details incl
dent to the campaign. He thinks that
General MahOncs absence for a month VIII
be very seriously felt in this respect.
1t is learned that Captain s. W. Venable's
condition is much improved, and hopes
are entertained that he will be out again III

The first inrimatiOn the public-and

Insurance Commission Bailey and
Gov. Merriam will be closeted for a
short time tomorrow morning. The
result of their interview is anticipated,
and that.not at all favorable to the re-
appointment of W. M. Todd as deputy
insurance commissioner. Mr.. Todd
had an interview with Gov. Merriam
yesterday, and, it is reported, received
no satisfactory assurances in the mat
ter. These are all outside rumors, as
when the parties individually concerned
are spoken to they profess entire ig-
norance i'll the matter. E. ii. Dearth,
of the LIE Sueur News, is continued to
be spoken of as the new appointee, and
has substantial backing of Joel P.
Heatwole, of the Northfield News.
Gov. Merriam says he is delaying the
appointments of labor commissioners
for purpose. He desires to have an
expression of opinion from labor organ
izations-ay! and from laborIng men
themselveS-as to the men he should ap-
point. When he has received this in
formation he will set about filing the
vacancies. He simply wished to ap-
point the best possible men f0r the posi-
tions.
President Charles III. Stevens, of the
Typographical union, called upon Gov.
Merriam yesterday. and he is spoken of
as a candidate OF chief labor commits

RAZORs AND CLUBS.

Chocolate-Co Women Fight
Almost to a Finish and Run q
Race.
About 10 o'clock last night, in the
vicinity of Fifth and Minnesota streets,
the air was filled with raZOrs, clubs and
bad language, and the colored sp'tin'
fraternity of that district was thrown
into the widest excitement. There
was trouble ubetween Lille Syl-
vester and Tina Nelson. two
dark-hued damselS, for which the
irresistible charms Of Henry Hopewell,
the colOred proprietor of Fifth street
crap joint, were directly responsible.
The woman Sylvester, who is known
among her class as ''De Jersey Lily"
has for some time reigned as first lady
of the crap joint, but last night she
learned that the girl Nelson, belle of
the resort at Seventh and Ceder
streets. known as the rag
'front.'" had been trifling with the
affections Of her Henry. Loading her
stocking with a razor bladed like a
cheese knife, she started out to carve
her rival. They met on the street cor;
ner, Lille stopped and wiped out the
fdZCr, 1lud f6dclleu lOi cluU, anu
without any necessary words a fight
was inaugurated, which ended in foot
race, Tina concluding that she stood
no chance against the razor. She was
not Outclassed in the foot race, how
ever, and found herself able to keep a
few feet ahead Of the wrathy Lilly and
screamed s'Murder and police" at the
top of her voice. Officer DAILY soon
up and stopped the race around the
block, just as they had finished the sec
ond mile, by bringing the woman with
the razor to halt.
''Yes, you dirty niggah!' cried the pride Of
the rag front, when her antagonist was de-
prived of the weapon, you can't fight wild
out youS got razzer, nOhOw!'
''Nevah you min, lOw-down niggah; If de
powah OBJ de law didn't hab hold OBJ me right
now I'd spoil your brack face!''
mo you wouldn't. I'd so into de alley
wild you now, but amt got no bisnis dars',
And so the trouble was prolO nged un-
til they reached the station, where Hope
well appeared shortly to convince the
officer in charge that it was but friendly
play that they had been engaged lin. A
severe cash on either side of Tina S face
didn't look like it,though, ANY more than
did Lilies bloody hands, and both were
held without bail under charges of as
sault with deadly weapons. -
