A VIRGIN1AN BADLY WOUNDED
At Long Island, n. Y, yesterday Will
liam F. Harlow, aged twenty-four
wears, o native of Grove Hill Page coun-
ty, Va, was committed to answer the
charge of cutting Hugh McKeon, of the
same place. The men, who were EN-
ployed in building sewer, quarreled
over letter said to have been written
by Miss Cubbage to Harlow, and which
had fallen into McKeon's possession.
The men fought at their boarding
house, no. 81 Hamilton street. Joseph
and John Lucas, brothers-in-law of
McKeon, came to his assistance, and
Harlow was being badly beaten, when
he drew knife and cut McKeon in the
forhead, wrist and foot. McKeon's
condition is critical.

a COMMITTEE of the interstate dem
ocratic association of Washington has
been appointed to wait on the Secre-
tary of the Navy with a view to pre-
venting, if possible, the further dis
charge of democrats at the navy yard
there by the heads of bureaus who are
republicans. But, as the Washington
navy yard is operated under the civil
service law, the committee referred to
can only have their pains for their
labor.

THE BANKING BILL-The banking
and currency committee, which has
been giving hearings for the past week
to all men interested in the reform of
the present banking and currency legis-
lation, Yesterday decided to end all

il is Chairman Springer's confident be-
lief that by Tuesday or Wednesday, at
the latest, he will be able to report a
bill to the House. The bill will be on
the general lines of Mr.. Carlisle's draft,
but will contain enough Of Mr.. SPRING
er's individuality to make it become
known as the Springer bill.
1t is stated that the advocates of free
silver coinage in the House propose to
introduce as substitute for Secretary
Carlisle's new financial plan a bill tor
the coinage of silver.

Important railroad Changes.

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-Financial me-
gotiations recently concluded will make
important changes in the railroad situa-
ton at Louisville, KY. The Illinois Cen
trail is preparing to establish a direct
line from Louisville to New Orleans and
now the Chesapeake and Ohio and the
Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St.
Louis, or 'Big Four" are about to Sc
cure entrances also into the city. This
will be accomplished over the tracks of
the Kentucky and Indiana Bridge
Company. The bridge company de-
faulted on the interest on its first mort
gage bonds. and receivers were ap-
pointed. Attempts at reorganization
have failed, and now the Chesapeake
and Ohio and the Big Four will begin
work on the bridge and terminals and
guarantee the interest on the bonds and
will take control of the property.

THE VANDERBILT DIVORCE SUIT

THE VANDERBILT DIVORCE SUIT
A dispatch from New York says: In
spite of reports to the contrary there
has yet been no reconciliation between
w. K. Vanderbilt and his wife, nor is
there any likelihood of one in the i'm
mediate future.
Chauncey NJ. Depew, counsel for Mr..
Vanderbilt, and Colonel William Jay,
counsel for Mrs. Vanderbilt, both make
this statement. Mr.. Depew last night
repeated that his legal connection with
the case forbade his making any state
ment, but he added: "You may state
positively that there has been no recon-
Citation between Mr.. and Mrs. Van
derbilt. Mr.. Vanderbilt on his arrival
in the city Wednesday night went d.
rectly to his mothers house, where he
will remain until he goes back to Eu-
rope"
The story which the interested parties
have thus been called upon to deny
was printed in the Commercial Adcer-
tiser Yesterday evening. The denials
make it quite certain that the divorce
suit which Mrs. Vanderbilt was to bring
for separation, with heavy alimony,
will soon proceed.
Yesterdays story of reconciliation
was based upon statements made by
domestic servants at the homes of W.
K. aud the late w. Fl. Vanderbilt. Sew
eral efforts have been made by men,
bers and friends of the family to bring
the estranged couple together, but it
was understood that the efforts had
been unavailing because of Mrs. Van
derbilt's deep sense of injury at the
treatment she received.

SENATOR DANIELS ADDREss.-:Th

SENATOR DANIELS ADDREss.-"The
Valley Campaign of Gen. Jubal A. Ear
ly" was the subject of an address to the
Virginia division of the Army of North
ern Virginia in Richmond last night by
Senator John w. Daniel, who was an
intimate personal friend of General
Early. His statements and criticisms,
in some respects, run counter to the es-
Inmates of leading military critics on
both the Federal and Confederate sides,
and the subordinate places he ascribes
to Joseph e. Johnston, Albert Sidney
Johnston and Beauregard will, doubt
less, rouse comment throughout the
sonth. Senator Daniels bold, and at
the same time sneering, estimate OF
England's popular military idols, and
the inferior rank he gives them beside
Early, is another notable feature of his
grafton. He characterizes Early as
ga map of peace before the war, a hero
in the war, c hero in fidelity aud forti-
tude after the war, and the very incar-
aation of its glorious memories" he
declared that only Marlborough and
Wellington would be ranked above
Early, asserting: 81 have said, and l
heard it said by one of the best officers
that served under Early, that among
our Confederate army commanders, he
was second to only Lee and Jackson

partment is about to revoke its action
in changing the name of Appomattox
postoffice to Surrender" The de-
partment officials have received from
Representative Tucker protest that
brings the matter before them in way
they can take cognizance of, and, in
consequence, Fourth Assistant Post
master General Maxwell will cary
next week restore to the historic ola
postofiice its proper name. Old Gap

name on the postal map of Virginia,
but it will be the name of the same
place in history under that name. 1t

office Department were not to blame IN
the matter as they have simply granted
the requests of the nstrons-of the two
offices that have been so badly mixed

THE REDUCTION in the tariff tax OF

THE REDUCTION in the tariff tax on
manufactured cotton has induced
New England cotton manufacturing
company, with capital amounting to
nearly two million dollars, to move Its
factory to Alabama and reap the bene-
fits of the superior facilities possessed by
that State for the production of cotton
goods. This move is the result OF a
slight reduction in the tariff on such
goods. Ifthe whole tax were removed
all the New England cotton factories
would be moved South. 1t is only by
the protection afforded their owners
by the tariff tax that they are enabled
to compete successfully with for
eign manufacturers! though the latter
have to transport their raw material as
we'll astheir manufactures across the sea.
Owing to the exceptional manufactur-
ing facilities of the South, her cotton
manufacturers need no such protection.
