a TICERoY WHO STOLE SPOONS
The Paris correspondent of the London
Daily News writes: M. Ferdinand de
Lesseps remembered to have seen at
his fathers stable, at Tunis, Mehemet
Ali, who was then lieutenant in the
Turkish army. Matthieu de Lesseps
held the post of French consul. Sud
denly Mehemet ceased to answer invi-
tationa; why it was never known, until
Ferdinand de Lesseps was being re-
ceived by him for the first time as con-
sui at Alexandria. The lieutenant had
conquered the Mamelukes, turned the
Turks out of Egypt, and become a pow
er in the world. He reminded the con-
sui of how he had disappeared from the
French consulate at Tunis, and asked
whether anyone had suspected why. AM
swering the question himself, he went
on to say that he had stolen silver
spoons from the table every time he
dined, and found himself in copse-
ouence an object Of suspicion to the
servants. After making this confess
sion, Mehemet gave orders to q cham
berlain, and presently servant enter
ed, bearing on gold tray o coffee service
of the same metal studded with preci-
ors stones. II hope," said the vjceroy,
''you will take this in payment for the
silver spoons which had the ingrati-
tude to take. My poverty at that time
is nv excuse" In remembrance OF
Matthew de Lesseps' hospitality Me-
hemet became the friend of Ferdinand
Go Lesseps.

IMPORTANT DECISION.

One of the most important decisions
in the Court Of Appeals on Friday was
that in the case of the Norfolk and
Western Railroad Company against
Marshall's administrator, which was
decided in favor of the railroad com.
pany, the decision Of the Circuit Court
OF Bedford county being reversed. The
court VAS unanimous in holding that
the circuit Judge should have sustained
the defendants demurrer 10 the ev;-
dence produced by the plaintiff. This
case grew out of the famous Thaxton
disaster, which occurred on the night Of
July /, 1889, in which so many passen-
gers perished. Ths train ran into a
washout OH high embankment, under
which there was stone culvert which
bad been there for thirty-fve years,
and always before had carried OFF the
waters OF the heaviest storms. On that
night there was series of cloud bursts
around the base of the Peaks of Otter,
and from one of these the water ac-
cumuiated so deep against this en-
bankmeut that it washed out the cul.
vert, and the train coming along soon
thereafter ran upon the rails, which
were still in place, and sank into the
chssm below, causing one of the most
terrible calamities known in the history
of Virginia railroads.
The defense of the railroad com.
pany was that the accident was
caused by the act of God in the shape
of this unprecedented storm, and that
no diligence on its part could have pre-
vented the accident. The plaintiffs at
tcrneys contepded that the railroad
company could have avoided the conse-
quences of the act of God by ordinary
care. The jury fixed the damage at
81 500. and the Circuit Court gave judg-
ment against the company. Now the
Court of Appeals declares that no
negligence of any kind whatever was
proved against the company, and that
it is not responsible for the damage sus-
tanned.
A large number of cases are pending
in Bedford Circuit Court waiting on the
decision, and it is supposed they will
now be dismissed.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, April 4.-This was a
busy day for the State G. A R. Encamp-
ment. The great event, of course, was the
annual parade. In addition to the great
gathering of Grand Army men and their
friends, the surrounding cities contributed
large delegations and the country people for
miles around came in, until the streets of
the Star City were thronged as they never
had been before. Platoons and companies
were marching and countermarching,
bands of every description were playing,
the air fairly vibrating with the sound Of
fife and drum. The Grand Army was
eIated with all the attention shown, and the
"old boys marched their best. The city
schools were dismissed for the occasion,
and two thousand children were mobilized
on the steps of all four sides of the court
house TO review the parade. Each child
was provided with flag and lusty lungs
for cheering which they did with great en-
thusiasm. The parade was said to be one
of the largest the State department ever
gave. All the fraternal societies of the
city were out in uniform as an escort and
guard to the veterans, making a very
snowy appearance. The infantry companies
Of Purdue also took part, and called forth
the applause of the veterans for their SOL
derly bearing, due to the instruction of
Captain Miller.
At the business session of the encamp-
ment to-day the place Of holding the next
encampment precipitated an interesting
fight between four cities-Muncie, South
Bend, New Albany and Richmond. The ad-
vantages of each were laid before the en-
campment in glowing terms, and when the
first ballot was taken no one of the candi-
dates had a majority Muncie led the list,
and in the interval before the second bal
lot the gas belt city's "rooters' did some
energetic proselyting. When the second vote
was announced Muncie was found to have
secured a majority by a decidedly close
shave, and the honor Of entertaining the
veterans next years was awarded to her.
The reports of the department officers con-
sumed the greater part Of the business ses-
sion Tonight two rousing camp fires were
started, and the old stories, with many
speeches, were called out. There were also
a number of receptions given by the citizens
TO officers at the different Lafayette club
houses. The election of officers will come
tomorrow. The encampment has unani-
mously indorsed Col. Ivan n Walker, of
Indianapolis, senior vice commander-in-
chief of the G. A. r., for commander-in-
chief, to be elected at Pittsburg in 1895

Department President Julia COnIxIin
and other Officers Report.
snacial to the Indianapolis Journal

LAFAYETTE, Ind, April 4.-The eleventh
annual convention of the Womans Relief
Corps, Department of Indiana, began its
session in the Presbyterian Church, on
Columbia street, to-day, the president, Mrs.
Julia Conklin, presiding. The roll call
showed that large number Of the corps
was represented by the active workers. The
president read her annual address, which
is an exhaustive review of the work dur
ing the past year. The address shows that
in no year in the history of the organiza-
tion has the work been extensive or the
condition of the corps so satisfactory. On
account of the holding of the national
corps in indianapolis the Indiana corps had
much to do which does not come under the
usual labors of the organization. Mrs.
Conklin eloquentiy urged the Importance OF
the work so enthusiastically undertaken by
the corps, namely, patriotic teaching. She
finds everything to commend in the man
agernent of the Knightstown home which
she had frequently visited. In referring to
the growth OF the order and its work the
mast year. she regrets that the hard times
have made il impossible for many who
have been workers in the past TO render
assistance, and that many have been
rendered unable TO main tain their member
and in the face of a largely incre 1sed n I'M
her OF ex-soldiers and their heirs needing
assistance the aggregate relief work II

been so large nor the useful less OF the or
