TO an extract from the Norfolk Neoos of

scribes the celebration Of the two-hun-

Then, as on this 18th Just past, Tyler
lent his presence to the occasion-the
stately presence of ex-President Tyler. l

throughout Virginia-that of the eagle

youthful poet of the day, then called " Old
Hampton's Bard" later linked more nearly
to the town of Norfolk mean James
Barron Hope, and as his stanzas flowed
their wild pathos." their conceptions
grand and sublime" moved all the mingled
throng TO burst after burst of applause"
and "Goyernor Wise, in almost uncon-
trollable ecstacy, lips quiyering, those eyes
flashing, and his whole soul enraptured
with rapture" paid the final tribute of q
tear which coursed from his cheek to fall
ION the sacred dust of that sacred spot"

repeating the railroad-commisslon law of
1887 This law provides for the appoint
ment by the Governor of three commits
missioners, and involves an annual ex-
pense of $4,000. Opponents of the law
saw that the commission has not fulfilled
its mission, IN that it has failed to check
unjust and unreasonable rates, besides be-
ing too expensive. The bill now goes to
the Senate.

House this morning and had passed reso-

it Makes MILLER a Judge and Lew
Wallace a Cabinet officer.

WASHINGTON, September 12-It Is posi-
lively asserted here that Attorney General
Miller is shortly to be transferred from the
cabinet to the bench, aud that the President
has decided upon his appointment to the
Circuit Court and his assignment to the dis
trict In which Indiana is situated. One
reason for this action Is said to be Mr.. Har-
rlson's desire to harmonize factional differ
ences in his own state, which have arisen
through the rivalrles Of several prominent
and persistent candidates for the Circuit
judgeship. Another Is asserted to be his de-
termination to give General Lew Wallace
place in the cabinet, II possible. which
could not very well be done while one In
diana man already held In seat the board.
General Wallace is said to be slated for the
war portfolio. Rupor also gives Secretary
Noble the Department of Justice, which he
has long desired, and places Mr.. Clarkson at
the head Of the Interior Department.
Whatever the Presidents intentions may
be, 1t Is certain that place on the bench
would be very acceptable to Attorney Cen
eral Miller, who Is admirably fitted for
judicial pOsi0n. There Is very good author
ity, however, for saying that Mr.. ClaTkson
is not In any sense a candidate for any
cabinet place, and that he regards his posi-
tion as president Of the League of Repubi-
can Clubs as affOrding far greater oppOr-
tunity for service to the party than any
federal office could possibly give. IL Secre-
tary Noble leaves the Interior Department
together, and, perhaps, himself take seat
on the bench, than to step temporarily into
another cabinet place In which there Is no
additional honor to be gained.

THE FRIENDLY AID.
Proceedings Begun Against Con-
cern in Which Maine People
Are Interested.

BIDDEFoRD, September 12.-The Journal
says tonight:
Deputy Sheriff Hasty of Saco served sum-
monses today on six members Of the Saco
lodge OF the now defunct Friendly Aid Soci-
ETY. for their appearance before the grand
jury at Alfred next Thursday for the sus-
pected purpose of securing an indictment
against the organizer of that lodge for the
violation, If any has been, Of the Insurance
laws of the State of Maine.
The names of those summoned are Alonzo
Hasty, past president: Daniel A. Holmes,
past vice president; Cassius L. Tarbox, trus-
tee; Charles N. Wakefield. president; Thos.
West and Alfred S. Bradford. The two latter
named are not officers Of the society and never
have been. These summoDses are the direct
result of the efforts of the father of one OF
the witnesses above named, the story being
as follows:
Several weeks ago one of the members of
the SacO lodge went away on his annual va
cation and left certain amount OF money
with his father, together with instructions
to pay Ii out as fast as the assessments came
In from the secretary of the lodge. Ihey
came SO fast that the father called the lnsur-
ance commissioner attention to the matter.
This communication resulted in Commits
sioner Smiths writing to Lawyer q: A. En-
cry of Saco for list Of names of those be,
longing to Sac0 lodge. These were secured
by Mr.. Emery and forwarded to Mr.. Smith,
who thereupon turned the entire matter over
to County Attorney Perkins of Cornish. with
instructions to investigate the whole matter.
Today's summonses are part of the County
Attorneys efforts in the matter.
The action of the grand jury will be await
ed with interest, although 1t is difficult to see
how an Indictment can be brought against
the organizer, who is resident Of Boston
and but the salaried agent of the Walthan
| society. 1t is also worth remembering thai
| the Saco lodge at the time of its organization
| satisfied the Investigation Of Insurance Com
missioner Smith made at that time and unit
| the above mentioned members father toOh
matters into his own hands, there was nj
| suspicion that the society had In any way
| laws of the state.
