The KiIline of General Ashby,

To the Editor Of the Alexandria Gazette:
No. Frederick Trullender of the lst New
Jersey Calvary did not kill .sshby! Nor do
think he killed anyone else, without he was
an extraordinarily good man of his regiment
for my memory is that we did not rate those
Jcrseymen as very killing people, yet he and
his regiment are getting lot of cheap noto-
ricty and advertisement at this late date.
Early in the war and after the death OF Dick
Ashby, who was killed on kcllys Island,
Turner Ashby was made Lieutenant Colonel
of what was afterwards known rs the lth Vlr-
ginia cavalry-O. Il. Funston, major and Angus
Mcdonald, colonel After Mcdonald, Ashby
was colonel until shortly after we rcorganlzed,
which was while we were at Conrad's Store.
Then at the earnest solicitation of Stonewall
Jackson he accepted his command and was
brigadier general until his death, which oc-
ccurcd soon after He was not killed by a
picket the morning before the Cross Keys fight,
but enjoyed the whipping of all the yankee
cavalry who came up that day in our 'front.' OF
capturing that braggart Lord Percy Wyndam,
who came over from England with the ayow-
ed purpose of bagging Ashby the guerilla, as
he chose call him, and was killed late that
evening while leading the Maryland line
against the Pennsylvania bucktails. / could
talk and tell you the entire storyr but am a
poor writer. l was there. ! saw him Ehip

A Priests STRANGE SToRY.-Rev'
Father John ]. Mallon and his friends
allege that within about week he has
been supplanted in peculiar manner
as pastor of the Church of the Assump-
ton, Brooklyn. by Rev. Father Joseph
Fitzpatrick. The allegation is that
policemen took the former priest from
his office, upon a pretext, TO St. Peters
Hospital, where he was locked in for
awhile. Upon his release he found that
Bishop Mcdonnell had appointed Faith
er Fitzpatrick in his stead. Father
Mallon says that the bishop has been
misinformed to the effect that his (Alal-
lon's) mind was affected and that he
was rot managing the parish economi-
cally.

AT THE national negro convention
held m Cincinnati yesterday, one OF
the appIauded speakers declared that
the discrimination against them in no
tells, restaurants, railway cars and
places of amusement must cease. In
other words for social equality; and one
of the resolutions adopted declared for
negro West Point and for negro army
officers of equal grade with those Of
white skin. Now if the negroes were
sensible, they would know that their
demands referedto are just as oblec-
tionablc TO northern as to southernpeo-
pie. and that the fact that they make
them can only increase the natural an
tipathy that exists between the races >
to the inevitable injury Of the inferior

.TAMMANY's CELEBRATIoN.-The one
hundred and sixteenth anniversary
of American independence was cele-
brated on an elaborate scale yesterday
by the Tammany Society in New York.
Grand Sachem Gilroy opened the
proceedings with an address ofwelcome.
He then announced that, owing to i'll
ness, the Hon. VIM. l.. Wilson. of West
Virginia, who was on the programme
for the first of the 'long talks, was I'M
able to attend, and he introduced Hon.
VIM. H. Bryan, of Nebraska, who had
been selected to fill Mr.. Wilson's place.
Before Mr.. Bryan had chance to say a
word the patriotic crowd broke loose
and gave cheer after cheer for
Grover Cleveland, D. B. Hill, W.
Bourkc Cochran and again for Mr..
Cleveland. Mr.. Bryan made most
eloquent speech and was followed by
Hons. J. o. Pendleton, of West Vir-
ginia; E. Il. Taliaferro, of Alabama
owen Scott, of Illinois; S. NJ. White, OF
California; Bourke Cochran and J. X.
Fellows, of New York, and c. II. Man

Letters of regret at their inability to
be present were received from EXPIRES
ident Cleveland, Senator Hill, Gov.
Flower, Gov. Boies, Gov. Pattison, Sen
ator Irby, Hon. ]. r. Tucker and others,
Mr.. Cleveland's letter was full of sound
doctrine. After it was read the letter
of Senator Hill, in which he makes his
first public announcement of his atti-
tude toward the Cleveland-Stevenson
ticket. 1t is an attitude of loyalty.
1.-THE democracy Of New York" he
says, Sin the approaching struggle
should present solid front to the COM
mon enemy. Loyalty to cardinal dem
ocratic principles is the supreme duty
of the hour"
After the exercises the distinguished
guests were entertained at a superb
collation., while every body at the meet
ing was invited to partaka ola bounti-
full "snackn in another hall.

MIR. STANLEY having deserted the
Confederate army, it is no wonder that
he has now deserted America, re-
nounced his citizenship of this country,
and is running for seat in the British
Parliament, as a tory. If defeated, as
he ought, and probably will be, the
distinguished consideration he received
in this country, especially in Richmond,
during his last visit to the United
States, may induce him to return, be-
come renaturalized. and run for Con-
cress. He would adorn high tariff
and a Force bill ticket.

CATHOLIC CHURCH BURNED.-The
Catholic Pro-Cathedral, at Duluth,
Mimi, was burned Saturday night. A
large number Of COMMITMENTS were
gathered in the church, and at 7:45 a
lamp near the altar was overturn-
turned, just how, no one seems to
know. There was rush for the door,
and the most serious confusion reigned.
Before anyone could recover, the flame
from the burning oil ignited the wood
work. The fire department arrived too
late to save the church or Bishop Nc
Golrick's residence, which WAS con-
sumed with it. Every effort possible
was made to recover Bishop NlcGol-
ricE's private library, one Of the finest
and most complete in the northwest,
numbering $1,000 volumes. They were
partially successful in this, bat over half
oft, as well as The library Of Rev. Father
Corbett, was destroyed. The Pro-Ca-
thedral was frame structure, built i'll
1865. and the estimated loss on both
buildings is $4,000.
