fenI the acts Of the Democratic Con-
greys: showed where by the present tariff
millions had been saved to the laborlng
men. and where the per capita north

In COMPARISON with that at the South,
Il was brought about by southern con-
trlbutiOns 10 the pensions, sugar trusts,
manufacturing. etc. all going north. six
millions of the first class alone going from
Virginia, and TO which. If they were
honest pensions, he had no objection. lie

00o.GoJ were lost by us. Not so now.
Mr. Mason, Popuiist candidate, being

A California Lady Claims That She Had
Richnond Rouds Burned.

The wilmington IN. c. Messenger OF
Saturday contained the following. which
will prove OF interest to Richmond peo-
pie:
Mrs. Graham, Of California. arrived In
Wilmington last Tuesday. and was
guest at the orion until yesterday eve-
ming. when she left on the o'clock train
for Richmond. Va.
Mrs. Graham has claim OF 5000
against the city for bonds TO that amount,
which she says were destroyed by hre.
with the exceptions Of some small pieces
and a few coupons. which she brought
with her. She is widow lady, and for
merly lived In Virginia. Her husband. she
says, had $1,000 worth Of city Of Whining
ton bonds that were called in, We thinh'
in 1851 or 1855. and 10 redeem which
fund was set aside by the city. IL is SAID
about 5000 or $500 Of the bonds ne held
were redeemed. but the remainder are
yet outstanding.
When she arrived here and called the
attention OF the city authorities to the
matter they began to look into IT, and on
Yesterday afternoon there was con-
ference of the Board OF Audit ana
Finance, Mayor $. II. Fishblate. City-At-
torney l.. Il. Manning and some OF the
aldermen, TO consider the claim. MIS-
Graham states that her husband Is dead,
and that while he was living he was one
day sitting at his desk smoking. ana,
becoming suddenly sick, he left his seat
hurriedly and knocked the stump of his
cigar into the waste-basket. with the re-
suit that it set fire to the papers on his
desk and so destroyed the bonds.
"a reporter of the Messenger dropped
In while the Board Of Audit and Finance
was in conference. but he was asked to
retire. as they desired to CONSIDER the
matter in private. They VIII consider
the matter at their next meeting. and II
Mrs. Graham will give an indemnifying-
bond they will make arrangements TO
satisfy her claim.
I'VE understand that she has similar
claim of $1,000 against the city OF Rich
