Virginia Debt Settlement.

All obstacles TO the funding OF the
old Virginia securities into new have
been removed, and the Virginia debt
settlement has been practically con-
summated. For some months back
there has been an embarrassing delay
in the matter, due to certain suits in
s-ituted by Mcssrs. Royal, Guison Il
Smith against the bondholders. Finally
the board of sinking fund commission
ers determined 10 briifg matters to a
head. and early in the week Second
Auditor Ryland went to New York to
confer with the Olcott committee.
The result of this visit was entirely
satisfactory. The Central Trust Com
pany. the New York depository of the
Olcott committee, gave bond 10 indem-
pity the Planters National Bank, the
Richmond agent, against loss from the
suits. and Mr.. Ryland, having return
ed. the Planters Bank made de-
livery of the old securities held by the
bondholders' committee, amounting to
81 DO. ,t0I 20. l Ile IcthlC rtHCh iOi
wardcd, by registered letters, to the
Central Trust Company her manu-
script bond, as provided for in the act
of February 20, 1892.
The amount of this bond is $685.
$50, being in the proportion of nineteen
of new to twenty-eight ofold securities,
after West Virginia's portion of the old
bonds and interest had been deducted.
The State also paid, through the Cen
trail Trust Company, to the bondhold-
ers one years interest, amounting to
1927 1877 30. The State will at once add
vertise for oil bonds that were not
turned in by the New York committee
and make settlement on these rs soon
as the distributing committee appoint
ed by the New York committee shall
make their report.
Second Auditor Ryland has returned
from New York, and it is stated au-
thoritively that all obstacles to the
refunding of the debt of Virginia grow
ing out of certain suits have been re-
moved and the settlement is practically
consummated.

BERLIN. Nov. 1S.-A resolution was
introduced in the socialist Congress to-
day declaring that the social democra-
cy has nothing in common with State
socialism. Among those who spoke in
support of the resolution WAS Herr

while State socialism was conservative.
The two, he said, were irreconcilably
antagonistic.

The QUEENS OsTRIcH.-The illness Of the
Queens ostrich had led TO the circulation of
many reports, but is has not yet been said
that no small credit of the birds recovery is
due to Jimmy the native attendant who
came with the ostrich from Sierra Leone.
Jimmy did not accompany the bird to Lon
don, but was preparing to leave Liverpool for
his home in Africa, when news was received
from Mr.. Bartlett Of the Zoo" saying the
ostrich was very i'll. In less than two hours
Jimmy was on his way to London. and
whether the bid was rejoiced to see his old
attendant or not can be imagined. but certain
it is that its recovery seemed to date from the
time of Jimmy's appearance. In character
istic letter Jimmy explains that the Zoo pco-
pie seemed overcareful of the ostrich, and 10
this he attributed its illness. Jimmy soon
had its mouth opened. and its first repast was
ten bananas and six large sweet potatoes
Jimmy is remaining in L-adon, but it is said
although he is receiving every kindness, he
is longing for his native home. 1t appears
that the statement that the bird was present
ed by King Samadou to Her Majesty IS IN
correct. The bird, it is now said. was sent ny
the Mohammedan chief Aiimanny Samadou'
to Alfred L. Jones, of Liverpool, and TINS
gentleman presented it to the Queen.-LoHd0"

of the gentlemen at once dismounted,
and after leaving his horse to the care

Now THAT the republicans are going

the existence of the deficit they have
caused in the Treasury, and are recon-

to raise the requisite money for the two
hundred millions year they have
voted for pensions to soldiers of Il war
that ended nearly thirty years ago.
But, among all the schemes referred to,
there is no mention whatever of an in
come tax, though such a tax would not
only be the most available, but the best
and most easily borne one that could
possibly be imposed By it the protec-
ton of property would be paid for by

Club NIen Odds.

Shortly before the noon recess yester-
day the spectators at the Horse Show
in Madison Square Garden, New York,
hal n genuine sensation. S. S. How
land was sitting in his box when man
walked up behind him and struck MIN
a heavy blow over the head with an
umbrella. The blow landed on Mr..
Howland's cheek, leaving quite a big
mark. Mr.. Rowland retaliated by
striking him twice with his cane. The
man was arrested just as he was leav-
ing the Garden by order of Vice Presl-
dent Wharton. Mr.. Howland's assail-
ant was Mr. Robert Neville, of Wash
ington.
As soon as the excitement subsidized
the reason for the attack was learned.
1t appears that Mr.. Rowland was the
executor of a Baltimore estate. In
winding up the affairs of the estate Mr..
Rowland claimed to have discovered
that Mr.. Neville owed Il racing debt OF
$50 TO the estate The widow of the
dead man was left almost destitute, and
Mr. Rowland made determined effort
to collect the money. Neville refused
to pay, and Mr.. Rowland wrote to him,
telling him that he would no longer
recognize him as friend or gentle
man. Mr.. Rowland repeated his re-
marks before some ladies in Washing
ton. Mr.. Neville, the report goes, said
when | meet you alone | will slap you
in the face" The attack yesterday fol-
lowed.
All the persons interested were in the
Jefferson Market Police Court in the
afternoon. Mr.. Neville remained in Il
side room consulting with his lawyer,
while Mr.. Rowland and his friends
took front seats. After waiting about
an hour Justice Grady called the case.
Mr.. Rowland was asked by the justice;
''Do you know this man, the defend
ant %
"Yes, your honor. That is to say, /
did know Mr. Neville until about six
months ago, and then l discontinued
his acquaintance, for did not care to
associate with him any longer
Neville's attorney requested that the
hearing be adjourned until Saturday.
Your honor, l would like to have
the hearing 90 on right away, if possi-
bic, for relative of mine is not expect
ed to live, and would desire to have
the matter disposed Of now" said Dir.
Rowland
Justice Grady said that Neville was
entitled to continuance, and set the
hearing for Monday, at 9 p. IN. New
lille gave bail in $500.
Mr.. S. S. Rowland is son-in-law OF
the late August Belmont. He is Il
member of the Coaching Club and sew
cral other leading clubs.
Mr.. Neville is native of Ireland but
came to this country about 20 years
ago. After living in the West for some
time he began farming in Fauquier and
Loudoun counties, Virginia, and in
1884 married a daughter Of Col. r. ii.
Dulany. For some time past he has
made Washington his home.

tered from so doing either by republic
cans. who advise an extra session OF

that it is never well to do what our en-

Gratis, who vainly imagine that repeal
