The Confederate Reunion.

BIRMINGHAM, April 25.-The re-
union of the United Confederate
Veterans in Birmingham, today
and tomorrow, promises to be an
event of unusual interest, and will
probably bring more people to Bir-
mingham than any other assem-
blage ever held in this city. Camp
Hardee made ample provision for
this important event, and all the
exercises will be held in the Win
ME Davis Wigwam.
General Gordon in his call for
the gathering summarizes its
prospective work as follows: "Bus-
mess of the greatest Importance
will demand careful consideration
during the fourth annual conven-
ton, such as the best methods OF
securing impartial history, and to
enlist each state in the compila-
ton and preservation of the his
tory of her citizen soldiery; the
benevolent care through state
aid and otherwise of disabled,
destitute or aged veterans and the
widows and orphans of our fallen
brothers in arms; the care Of the
graves of our known and unknown
dead buried at Gettysburg, Fort
Warren, Camps Morton, Chase,
Douglas, lakewood Cemetery at
Chicago, Johnson's Island, Cairo
and at all other points, to see that
they are annually decorated,
the headstones preserved and
protected, and complete lists
of the names of our dead heroes,
with the location of their last rest
ing places furnished to their friends
and relatives through the medium
of our camps, thus rescuing their
names from oblivion and handing
them down in history; the con-
sideratiOn of the different move
ments, plans and means to erect
q monument to the memory of
jefferson Davis, President of
the Confederate States of
America also to aid in building
monuments to other great leaders,
soldiers and sailors of the south;
to aid in securing pension from
the states lately composing the
Confederate states for Mrs. Jeffer-
son Davis; to make such changes
in the constitution and bylaws
as experience may suggest, and
other matters of general interest.
Mrs. Jefferson Davis and Miss
Winnie Davis are guests of honor.

New Winter Bicycle.

Cleveland, Ohio, Leader.
If story from Ashland, Wis
.consin, is to be taken as literally or
even approximately true, bicycle
rider on a newly invented winter
machine can make faster time than
any which has ever been recorded
for man or horse. 1t is said that a
mile was covered in one minute
and forty-four and three-fifths Sec
.onds, and three miles in three min
utes and forty-two and one-fifth
seconds, an average rate of l minute
and Ia seconds to the mile. At that
speed a bicycle rider would SIM
ply run away from a champion
running horse, and the best time
made by skates and ordinary BIZ
cycle riders becomes slow by con-
trasst The machine on which this
wonderful feat is reported to have
been performed has an ordinary
bicycle frame, a driven wheel and
two runners. 1t is said it can be
attached to any bicy Gle frame in a
few minutes. II these statements
are all trustworthy we may yet
see the winter bicycle a rival of
the ice boat for speed and of
skates for popularity.

martin a clerk employed by the
Pullmacher Belt company,was shot
and killed today, while on her way
to her work. The murderer gave

tiers found on him prove him to be
Father Domineck O'Grady, a
Catholic priest, who came here
three months ago. Miss Gilmartin
is from Sligo county, Ireland.
One of her brothers is Father NJ. s.
Gilmartin, of Chicago. Miss Gill
martin met O'Grady in Ireland,
where his attentions caused gossip.
Last September she came to Amer
lea, and had been in this city since
January. The girl had got in
the street car to go to her work, but
in some mysterious manner got off
again, and was shot almost before
her door. OGrady took poison, but
it did not kill him. He confessed
the murder. Among his letters
was one written by Miss Gilmartin,
to the archbishop in Ireland, ex-
culpating O'Grady from any wrong

MEXICO TO RETALIATE
Against Those Countries Legislating
Against Silver.

Against Those Countries Legislating
Against Silver.
MEXICO CITY, April 25.-It is
stated that a retaliatory measure
being considered by the Mexican
government against the United
States, England and other coun-
tries whose Legislative attitudes
have been in opposition to silver.
The plan is to increase Mexican
import duties 25 per cent. The
view taken is the nations having
trade with Mexico must cease their
monometalic standard if they
would have dealings with Mexico,
and having been instrumental in
the present depreciation of silver
money, and values of the country,
they must now pay, part at least,o of
the loss so sustained by Mexico. A
strong combination of Mexican and
Central Southern republics is the
possible outgrowth of the agitation.

Back to Coach DAYS.

NEW YORK, April 25.-The blow
ing of the horns in Philadelphia
and New York this morning, will
be the signal for the opening of the
great metropolitan coaching VEN
ture. At s o'clock two coaches,
maintained by private gentlemen
for public service, will start stimuli
taneously-one from the Waldorf
hotel in this city, and the other
from the Stratford hotel, in Phila-
delphia-the first to run through
to Philadelphia and the latter to
New York. The distance is exact
ly ninety miles. The time to be
consumed is eleven hours. This
will be the longest regular coach
route in the world, and the expert
ment is looked forward to with the
greatest interest by all directly or
Indirectly Interested in the sport of
the road and the handling and
breeding of road horses.
The idea originated in the Su-
burban Road Coaching club, of
Philadelphia, a small company of
gentlemen of such true sporting
proclivities as to have made Phil
adelphia rather more of coaching
headquarters today than New
York. They are Messrs Edward
Browning, Rittenhouse Miller,
Harrison X. Gamer, Nelson Brown
and Colonel Edward Morrell.

MILITARY TO BE USED

10 suppress the Commonwealers in
Acts of Violence.
WASHINGTON, d. G., April 25.-
Col. Swain, who in command of
the Dakotas, was this morning in
structed by telegraph to use the
United States troops to intercept
the mob and restore the railroads
property. There is no legal diff
Guilty in the way Of governmental
action, as the railroad property is
now in the hands of the United
States courts, and the president
may move at once upon represent
tatiOn of the United States judicial
affairs. There are sufficient forces
of U. S. troops at st. Paul, and at
Bismarck, on the line of the east
ward train seized, and it is expected
they will be stopped at one of these
points. 1t can no longer be denied
the peculiar movement now
in process throughout the west
has aroused the apprehension Of
the National authorities. AS long
as the armies and other organiza-
tions continue in a peaceable and
law abiding fashion, there was no
to interfere with them.
But as the true character of its
members is revealed by such acts as
the seizure of trains and other law
less dOings, and is made evident
to the officers of the government,
they no longer can stop at the poll
cy of nOn-interference. Further tres
pass upon the vested rights and
good order of the community,
probably will be severely depressed
by violation of United
States laws, the National govern
ment finds itself justified in acting.

POLITICAL.

From Republican Glasses in Sunday Sta'
The Wolcott faction Of the Kent Dem
ocrats are having serious time just now
They have started already to defeat DR.
William Cooper, of Kenton, for collector OF
customs for Wilmington, although the office
will not be vacant until the summer OF
1896. Or. Cooper has been, probably, the
most cantankerous of all the Salisbury
kickers in Kent, supporting openly the
Republican ticket in 1888 as against the
Wolcott unit rulers. Now he is in possession
of Senator Gray's promise to give him one
of the best and most honorable Federal
offices in the State. To get Gray to go
back on that promise is the task of the
Kent Wolcottites. But Cooper has a
powerful pull" on Gray. Such pull on
Senator Higgins would go for nothing, but
On Senator Gray is all-powerful. 1t is the
family pull" DR.. Cooper is brother of
Dick Cooper, of New Castle, and Dicl,
Cooper is brother-in-law of George Gray.
That settles it.
Senator Gray's brother-in-law, Sam
Black, is drawing 81 sc per day for doing
nothing; likewise "Porky" Kane is draw
ing 50 per day; Joe Dunlap IS, and ex-
Representative Spruance 81 per day;
total of $12.66 day, or $8863 per week,
or S4,GOS.76 per year. and all for doing
nothing. This money is paid out for
sinecures, all of them created or main
tanned by Senator Gray for the support
of one brother-in-law and three political
heelers. This money was nearly all saved
to the people while Harrison was Presi-
dent, and Senator Higgins dispensed the
federal patronage. To it may be added |
$1,000 per year which Senator Gray's son
IS now drawing for being clerk to Rep |
in Congress who is never |
there. The brother of that Representa-
tive, one Peter F. Causey, is drawing
$1,000 for alleged services as a sugar in
spector, and this same Peter F. Causey
drew $4,000 per year during Cleyeand's
Ihe Internal Revenue bureau, although it
IS publicly said that Peter F. never left
Milford during the four years from 1885
to 1885, 1t must be said that Gray and
5ausey are thrifty if not economical.
