LETTER FROM RICHMOND.
Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazctte.)
RICHMOND, Va. Jan. 90, 1894.

hlCHMOND, w., JAN. ~, loJt.
Considerable interest is manifested
here in the election next Saturday of a
brigadier general to fill the vacancy in
the First Brigade of infantry caused by
the resignation of Gen. Charles ]. An
derson, who was recently appointed
Adjutant General.
AS has been previously stated in the
GAZETTE the race is probably between
Col. Male, of the Third, and Col. Nash,
of the Second regiments. Col. Nallc
is the ranking officer and his friends
claim will surely be promoted to Briga-
der. An officer of the Third Regiment
told the GAZElTE's correspondent to-
day that he thought when the election
came off that Col. Nalle would have no
opposition. Col.Jones of tLho First .:ct Icgi-
vent, cIt:-Ianks Col. Nash for the place,
but any officer is eligible to the place.
1t is not thought that Col. Jones will be
an applicant for the position, but in the
event of deadlock on Male and Nash
the election might fall on Jones, who
would, of course, accept the place
though he is in no sense seeking it. The
Third Regiment is solid for Male.
Richmond politicians are willing to
stake their reputation as prophets that
Hon. Basil B. Gordon will be the choice
of the convention in Harrisonburg to-
morrow to nominate a candidate for
Congress to fill the vacancy occasioned
by the resignation of GOV. Q'Ferrall.
There is also q prevailing opinion here
that Mr.. Gordon would be worthy
successor to the gallant gray eagle.
The committee appointed by the
Richmond Tobacco Exchange last week
to visit Washington and have confer
ence with the ways and means commit
tee relative 10 the proposed increase
in the tax on manufactured tobacco and
putting leaf tobacco on the free list will
leave for the national capital tomorrow
morning. 1t is very likely that an in
terview will not be had as the members
of the committee are very busy in Con-
gress watching the movements in the
Wilson bill. Should the gentlemen be
unable to get meeting with the COM
mittee it is more than probable that two
of them will remain in the city and get
talk when opportunity offers with the
various members of the committee
The following gentlemen compose the
Richmond committee: Messrs. Boykin,
Bosher, Hutchinson, Boyd, Mayo, Cam
eron and Morton.

A Sensational Suit.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Jan. 23.-A suit
was begun yesterday by the heirs of
Sophia Crevier against the heirs of the
late Norman w. Kittson, for the 81
100000 left by the latter, upon the claim
that Mrs. Crevier was the wife of Mr..
Kittson, and that all of the eleven
children of Mr.. Kittson are illegitimate
with the exception of Norman Kittson,
the eldest, now 81 years old. The claim
ants held that common law marriage
existed between Sophia Creyier and
Norman W. Kittson and that all other
marriages contracted by the parties af-
forwards were illegal. The Kittsons,
on the contrary, claim that this union
was merely liaison, and that the
claimants have no legal right to any
portion of the Kittson estate.

The Yadkin Valley Railroad.


DIR. W. A. Lash, President of the
Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Rail
road, in an interview at Greensboro, n.
c., yesterday, had the following to say in
regard to the appointment of a receiver
for the North State Improvement Com
pany:
"The action was precipitated by suits
brought against the company IN other
narts of the State. The debt due by the
North State Improvement Company ac-
crued in the construction of the Cape
Fear and Yadkin Valley Railway. The
amount realized from the sale of the
first mortgage bonds was not sufficient
TO meet the cost of the construction,
and was carried without any trouble
until the panics of last summer AMI TALL.
Some of the creditors demanded their
money during this time, and of course
we could not pay it. This made them
uneasy and has eliminated in a receiV-
ership for the company.
81 notice in the press dispatches a
statement that the Cape Fear and Yad-
kin Valley Railroad Company has gone
into the hands of receiver also, and
that the amount of the debt owed by
the North State Improvement Com
many was $650,000 / want to say
that the total liabilities of the COM
many are far less than this, and furth-
er. that the amount owned outside OF
what is due to the members of the syn
dicate who own and control tho company, is
less than S350.0OO. Its assets at a low val
nation are worth million and half, and at
q fair valuation, properly handled, will bring
much more than this. The Cape Fear and
Yadkin Valley Railroad Company Is not Ill
the hands of a receiver and is not affected by
this receivership.'

$4,000, 900 FOR PENsIoNs.-Tho sub
committee of the House committee on
appropriations hopes to complete its
work on the pension appropriation bill
early in the week, probably on Tues
day. The aggregate amount to be az
propriated will be about $4,000, 900,
Commissioner Lochren having estimat-
ed for 1852, 63l $40. This is quite sig
nifcant, in view of the fact that this
years appropriations including defici-
encies, have amounted to $lS0,676, 234 /.
Ex-Commissioner Raum told the COM
mittee year ago that pension appro-
priations had reached their maximum,
one reason being that "the high-priced
men die quickest" being disabled to a
greater degree than the others. Gen.
Raum's predictions have, therefore,
come true. If the death rate among
the "high-priced" pensioners continues
at the existing rate, the $50, 100000 to
be appropriated for next year will I'M
doubtedly be found excessive, and sew
eral millions may be covered back into
the Treasury.
