For a Dainty Tea.

Tea is regarded as the most refined if
not the most elegant meal of the day
and the setting of the table for this light
and dainty repast should DE carefully
considered by every housekeeper. The
present idea is to spread the tea table
without cloth. OF course the table
should be of highly-polished wood. On
the decorated linen center piece should
be a bowl of cut flowers or a potted
plant. There should also be decorated
linen piece for the tea tray and the cold
meat dish. Under each plate should be
laid fringed napkin with necessary
knives, forks and spoons at each side
and above the plate, a small plate for
bread at the left hand, flat>bottome
tumbler for water and a plain hemme,l
or hemstitched napkin for use. A flow
er at each plate is a pretty ambition
Fruits and sweets are en- regle for tea.

John Brown Relics.

John Browns old Bible, which has
been sold by Mrs. Emily j. Blessing of
Charlestown, to Mrs. F. G.. Logan, of
Chicago, contains the following in John
Browns handwriting on the fy-leaf:

Va, with the best wishes of the under>
signed and his sincere thanks for many
acts Of Kindness received. There is no
commentary in the world SO good in Or

blessed book as an honest, childlike and

John Brown and the date November
29th, 1859, appear below the writing.
The following in Browns handwriting
is upon another fly leaf: John Brown.
These leaves were turned down and
marked by him while in prison at
Charlestown, w. Va.n But small part
of those passages which in most positive
language condemn oppression and vio-

are in possession of Brown relics are
Andrew E. Kennedy, who has the re-
ceipt of Browns wife for his dead body,
delivered to her at Harper's Ferry, and
Captain George Baylor, who owns the
saber used by Brown when marshalling
his forces.
On this same subject Mrs M. L. Her

A Sensational Case.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA, Jan. 23.-A
sensational story has been published Of
the tarfing and feathering OF an Eng.
lishman named Arthur Flower March
near Gotham, this county, by John
Armstrong Chanler, husband of Amelie
Klves-Chanler, and party of friends a
few days ago. While the story is exag-
gerated, it is true that March was deco
rated with some feathers and ordered to
leave the county. The fact that lady
is concerned in the incident will not be
surprising, but that she is young, beau>
tiful, and highly connected-the daugh-
ter of a distinguished Virginian-will
add to the interest of the story. March
began, it is alleged, by seeking church
connection, and became the organist at
Grace Church, q pretty Gothic edifice
quite in the English style, near Castle
Hill, the residence of Colonel Alfred L.
Rives, of the Panama Railroad, and the
home of Mrs. Amelie Rives-C hanler.
The rector, Rev. Mr.. Jones, soon sus-
pected that March was not all he claimed
to be and dispensed with his services
This, it is said, angered March and led
him to threaten violence. Captain J..
B. Frizzell, a highly respected English
man, who lives near Gotham, and of
whose home March was an inmate, re-
quested him to leave, and as he seemed
reluctant to do SO, he fastened his de-
parture, it is asserted, by presenting a
shotgun. All this time March had been
very attentive to the high-born lady al
ready referred to, indeed became an in
mate of her fathers house, and the re-
port gained currency, much to the an
noyance of the young lady's family. that
they were engaged. The father ordered
him to leave his house, which he did.
The young lady believed that injustice
had been done to March, and she rode
to Trevilians, several miles away, in
order to have an interview there with
him to ascertain from his own lips
whether the charges against him were
true. She spent the night with the
family of Mr.. Hancock, and the next
morning March put in an appearance.
He drove up in buggy and asked if
the young lady was there. Mr.. Hancock
said she was, but refused to let him see
her except in the presence of himself
and wife. To this March agreed and
stormy interview ensued, at the conclu
sion of which she dismissed him.
March soon returned to the neighbor-
hood, and, the young lady's father not
being at home, Mr., Chanler took the
matter in hand, and the tarring and
feathering incident closed the chapter.
There is rumor afloat today that March
has determined to appeal to the British
minister to demand redress for him. Not
much sympathy is felt for March, and
yet Mr.. CHAMBERS act is far from receiv
ing the approval of this community.

No POLITICS IN IT, THEY SAY.

The Case Against Madison Square
Omcials Will Bo Pushed.

The activity shown in and about the
District-Attorney's office this morning
seemed to disprove the assertion pub
lished in a morning paper that political
influence was being brought to bear upon
the prosecuting officers to deal l%eniently
with the alleged wreckers of the Madi-
son Square Bank. Lawyer Untermeyer,
counsel for the receivers, called at $50

sistant District-Attorney Davis, who has
charge Of the case. The two held n
short conference with District-Attorney
Nicoll, and then retired to Mr.. Davis's

two hours. Most of the papers in the
case were zone into. and alleged ques-
tonable transactions traced back for
several years. The investigation will be

There have been three fires in the

READINGS LOAN EXTENDED.

on $500, 900 Additional Collateral.

At a meeting OF the Sreyer syndicate
to-day II was decided TO extend the loan
to the Reading three months, with the
privilege OF renewing It for three months
more. The receivers put VI $500, 900 addi-
tional collateral trust bonds as security.
and II the loan Is renewed another three
months will put up more collateral.
Talk Is revived that Reading receivers
are anxious to issue n reorganization
plan, under which the general mortgage
fours fund coupons for a term OF years.
perhaps four years. This is vigorously
objected to by the general mortgage
bondholders, who claim that stockhold-
ers and income holders should be the
ones to suffer.
Income bondholders claim that fund
ing general mortgage coupons IL a vio-
latlon OF the terms of their mortgage,
which provides that no lien shall be
placed ahead OF theirs. Funding the
coupons for four years would give money
enough to pay OF the floating debt. but
such a plan will be vigorously opposed.
