a benefit matinee for Brunswick this
afternoon. This was the long haired
young mans first appearance in several
years. His previous performances have
been received in such fashion that he
concluded to retire from the boards and
run no more risks at the hands of his
auditors. With his protracted retire
ment to private life the young tragedian' s
power to attract the public, which at one
time was a 8 days wonder, appears to
have foI saken him, for less than nine peo-
pie at 25 cents per head greeted him to-
day, and consequently there was nothing
in it for suffering Brunswick.
The alumn8 of the girls high
school gave an entertainment at
the grand opera house tonight
for the Brunswick relief fund, at
which about S400 was netted. The 81, 900
raised last week by the newspaper men
was turned over to the committee to-day.
The committee will purchase supplies
with the fund and send them to the
stricken city. The other funds raised
will probably be handled in the same
way, as the prevalent idea is that bread
and meat will do more good to the hungry
than money.

CITIZENS UNPRorEcrEp.

Mr. Brosius contended that the repeal
of the federal election laws would leave
the citizens of the United States unpro-
tected, naked and exposed, unless the
power of the states mercifully interposed
Never before had there been proposed a
surrender so base, so humiliating-neve
since when the heresy Of states rights was
,red in baGCle Let the majority
compass, If it pleased, the sub servieuce
of the United States and abdicate the
power of the nation 10 the various states.
The government should not surrender its
right to control its own affairs.
Mr. Talbert of South Carolina, speaking
in regard to illusions to discrimination
toward the negro race in the south-in-
quired as to how many negroes had been
elected to Office in Pennsylvania.
MIR. Brosius replied that it would be
impossible for any man to undertake to
enumerate men of black who had been
honored in Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Compton of Maryland said that the
gentleman contended that the federal
election laws should be maintained. Would
the gentleman tell the House why the
fathers of the republic had never seen fit
to enforce the provision granting the gov
ernment a right to supervise elections!
MIR. Brosius replied that this power con-
ferred in the constitution had not been
called into requisition in the history of
the country before the war because vii
lainy and wrong were progressive, and
the fathers had never conceived of the
means which had since been resOrted to
to deprive certain citizens of their right

ROANOKE'S NIGHT OF BLOOD
The COTOnerS Jury Reports Its Verdict
in the Case.

The Finding Non-Committal as to the
Guilt or Innocence of the Soldiers
Who Did the Firing-A Recommsn-
dation That the Grand Jury Inves-
tigate the Affair 49, Capt. Bird Ex-
plains His Position in the Affair.
Roanoke, Va, Sept. 26.-The eoroner's
jury rendered a verdict to-day as a result
of their investigation into the cause of
the deaths of the eight men who were
shot down during the reign of mob law on
last Wednesday night. Their finding is
to the effect that the men came to their
death "by weapons in the hands Of men or
soldiers Of the Roanoke Light
Infantry, under the command Of Capt.
John Bird and other officers,"
and that the evidence showed that he
was acting under instructions of Mayor
Trout. The jurors think 1t best to
recommend that the grand jury or other
competent court authorities take charge
of and investigate the legality of the acts
of the said officials.
Capt Bird was cross-examined by the
jury this morning, and reiterated his
statements made yesterday that he con-
sidered himself dealing with a mob aud
not as citizens. He had given the order
to fire in low tone of voice to the four
men called to the window, looking out
upon The door being battered in by the
mob.
1t was produced in the evidence Of an.
other witness that Eddy, one of the boys
wounded, had just thrown a rock through
the Jail window before being shot and that
John Mills was among the mob near the
west side door where the demonstration
was the loudest. The verdict is received
with general favor here, it being consid-
cred, in fact, all that the jury could
iustifiably find from the evidence in the
case.

J. Howard Conrad Wants to be Sepa-
rated from Mrs. Barnaby's Daugh ;
ter.
Helena, Mont. Sept 26.-Helena social
circles were given a terrible shock this
morning on the announcement that J.
Howard Conrad q leading citizen, had
sued his wife for divorce, asking for the
custody of three minor children. He
charges Mrs Conrad with having been
criminally intimate with a well-lnown
Montanan. A great deal of inter-
est is added by the fact that
Mrs. Conrad is the daughter
of Mrs. Barnaby, for whose murder
DR.. Graves was tried and convicted.
Conrad took such an interest in the case
that he spent 100000 in trying to
secure the conviction of the al
legged murderer of his mother
in-law. Mrs Conrad was always one OF
the members of Helenas first circles and
it is said the trial will bring out develop
ments of a decidedly racy character.

The insurance companies are max
ing q great big bluff. Quite a mum.
Der Of them have left the State. Our
Governor, ex-Chief Justice Turney,
has construed the law for them, but
they choose to think they know more
about the law than he does. 1t is q
pure case Of bulldOzing; they don't
like the law, aud pot liking it, put a
strained construction upon it in order
to make it Odious. AS we have re.
marked before, if these foreign, soul.
less monOpolists don't like our laws,
let them move out. When their with
drawals have created N vacancy and
there is demand for them, other in-
turance companies will be organized.
It Is u highly profitable business aud
this 10 good territory and it is not
going unworked. 1t would be a
splendid thing for Tennessee if ali
these foreign companies would leave,
and local companies be organized in
every town aud city in the State. 1t
would be just rs easy to have our own
insurance companies as 70 have our
local banks, and il We had, in few
years we would be hundreds of thou
sands of dollars better off. Call au
extra session Of the Legislature, in
deed! Just as well call it to change
the railroad laws, or the laws gov
erning any other corporation. The
surprising feature is that they can
humbug SO many men. They have
actually succeeded in soaring large
number of merchants with the threat
that they will Withdraw their in
surahce and thereby ipjure their
credit, and have terrorized them into
petitioning the Governor for an extra
session. All of which goes to show
how easily the people are humbugged =,
how cnwardIy capital is, and how lit
tie the majority of men think and rea-
son and conclude for themselves.

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.

The calling of an extra session OF
Congress by President Cleveland for
Aug. Z, instead OF some time in Sep.
TENDER, as he first proposed to do,
meets with the approval Of the people
and press of the whole country. The
mere fact that Congress is to meet at
an early day and undertake to settle
the financial troubles that have been
80 disastrous for the last few mouths,
is reassuring and has created a some
what better feeling. But the problem
before that body for solution il one OF
tremendous Importance and tremen
dous difficulty. There is no doubt
about the general prosperity Of this
country, so far as the production of
abundant crops and other material
wealth is concerned, but under the
commercial systems of the present
time, the whole world might over
flow with things to eat aud to wear,
and IL there is lack of the medium of
exchange, there would be q financial
lanic that would crush banks, cor
poratiOns aud individuals.
For the last several months and at
the present time, condition verging
upon such a panic has been aud Is
in existence. Not that there is less
money, per capita, in this country
than there has been, but because a
feeling of distrust and lack OF conf
dence makes thOee who have cash
money less willing to let it out
Very few people doubt that this con-
dition has been partly brought about
by capitalists in the East and in
England, who profit by the situation,
IN exporting large quantities of gold
from this country. Aud some think
that even the stOppage of coinage of
silver in India, which has added to
the decentralization, was influenced
by them.
Whether that is true or not, there
is NO doubt that the silver problem
has got to be settled in this country.
and that very soon. The Democratic
party in the convention that nomi-
mated Mr., Cleveland said to the peo-
pie what they took to mean that it
would undertake to restore the free
coinage of silver. But at this time
not even the most sanguine silver
man dares to hope for that. What
Congress can do to provide for the
furtherus Of silver as money, no one
can conjecture, but even the warmest
friends OF silver admit that the Sher-
man law, which compels the govern
ment to buy $500, 900 ounces of silver
every month, and under which the
