Denial That Improper Use Has Been
Made of Northern Contributions.
RICHMOND, Va, May 9.-Past Com
mander D. r. Wilson of Phil Kearney
Post, G.. A. R., said in reply to the
statement of Commander Watrous of
Wisconsin, that money sent South to
decorate Union soldiers graves, has
been put into the fund to erect a mem
orial hall, that no misuse has been made
Of the money. His explanation of it is
this:
For several years the posts through
out the North have been sending money
to the local post to decorate graves in
the six national cemeteries near Rich
mond. Each year a surplus has re-
mained after the work was done. This
was not returned to those giving it, the
post thinking it had the right to use it
for any purpose it saw fit. A fund to
erect memorial hall was started and
has now reached $4,000. The old city
hall site has been purchased Work on
the hall will soon commence"

railway operatives, and with age, has
developed strength and wisdom. The
Brotherhood has employment agree
ments with most railroad companies in
the country. They have made record
of which they may we'll be proud. They
are as rule conservative men, who ask
for justice only and are satisfied with
nothing less.
A cheap, but valuable, life insurance
is feature of the Brotherhood, but the
value of the work done by the organi-
zation cannot be estimated in dollars
and cents, or in fact in any other way,
it is done in manner SO quiet and un-
ostentatious. The engineers are known
as a most liberal class of men when it
comes to q deserving charity of any
kind.
Hitherto the conventions have been
held annually, and st. Paul has the
honor of holding the first biennial con-
vention.

CAPTURED A SEALER
After Test of the Sailing Qualities of
the Cruiser Mohican.


WASHINGTON, June IA telegram
received in this city yesterday states
that the United States steamer Mohi-
can had, after a chase that taxed her
sailing qualities not little, captured
a sealing vessel against which evil
dences of violations of laws and
treaties were complete.
When first sighted by the Mohican,
the vessel left no doubt of her unlaw-
full cruising, and the effort she made
to escape verified the first view of the
naval authorities.
AS soon as the Mohican was within
easy range the positive manner of the
Mohican compelled her to heave to, and
the sealer's capture was effected,
though she had led the United States
ship very exciting race.
Further details are wanting, but the
main facts are Incorporated in the brief
telegram received in this city. Tho
navy department has not been advised,
but this is probably because Of the late
ness of the hour at which the report
reached Port Townsend, from whence
the information was telegraphed.
