The Queens Speech.

LONDON. Aug. 15.-The House of
Commons met at 2 o'clock this after
noon and were at once summoned by
the usher of tho Black Rod to the
House of Lords to hear the reading of
the Queens speech. The commission
to read the speech were attired in their
scarlet and ermine robes ofofice. Lord
Halsbury read the speech while Speak
er Gully and the members of the House
of Commons stood at the bar. When
the reading was concluded the Speaker
and the other members of the House of
Commons retired to their own chamber.
The Queen, after the usual reference to
the continuance of the good will of for
eign powers, deeply regrets the afro
cious outrages upon body of English
missionaries in China and trusts that
effective measures are being taken to
punish the murderers. At this season
of the year, she says, it will probably
be found more convenient to defer until
another session the consideration of
any important legislative matters ex-
cept those necessary to provide for the
administrative charges of the year.

DISPUTE OVER A FuNERAL.-A bitter

DISPUTE OVER A FUNERAL.-Ab bitter
creed agitation broke out in Cincinnati
last night. R. E. Moorehead, aged 50
years, died yesterday. He was mem
Der of Washington Council of Catholic
order known as the American Flag.
He affiliated with A. P. A. men but
could not belong to that order because
his wife is Catholic. Yesterday it
was announced that Moorehead died a
Catholic and that the family did not
want Washington Council or other local
lodges of the American Flag to partici-
pate at the funeral. The lodges insist.
ed on their usual service for members.
Their request to be at the Cathedral
Saturday morning was also denied.
The members OF the order held an in
dignation meeting last night at which
it was publicly questioned whether
Moorehead died Catholic. Members
of the A. P. A. are taking part in the
agitation. Moorehead's cashier in his
restaurant is also q member of the
American Flag. He said Moorehead
was unconscious for some time before
the priest was called to administer the
last rites and that he died unconscious.
He also asserted that the family would
not allow him or any other members of
the order to see Moorehead after his
condition became serious. The priest
who attended him ia unable to say
whether Moorshead was conscious or
not and stated that it is not material
point in his duty, as he was called by
Mrs. Moorehead. The members Of the
American Flag and the A. P. A. are
causing a great stir over the case,

IF THE proposed railroad from Har-
risonburg to the coal fields of West Vir-
GINA be built, thereis every reason why
Alexandris should again become the
port ola large coal trade, and none whyit
should not be, as it is many miles nearer
tide water than any other port, as there
is already a well-built railroad from its
wharves to Harrisonburg, and as the
large vessels that come here and to
Washington loaded with ice, stone,
plaster, fertilizers and other cargoes In
bulk, and that now go away empty,
could we'll afford to take return loads
of coal at reduced freight charges.

DEATH OF MARY PARTINGToN.


DEATH OF MARY PARTINGTON.
The Charlottesville Progress has the
following in connection with the death
of Miss Mary Darlington, the danseuse,
who died in Hanover county Monday
last:
"Miss Partington's death recalls to
mind the halcyon days Of the Confed-
eracy, when this lady was the danseuse
of the old Marshall Theatre, in Rich
mond. The Partingtons were English,
coming from Torquay, in the county OF
Devon, and settled in Richmond before
the war. The family consisted of three
sisters, Mary, Sallie and Jenny, and
two brothers, John and William. Mary,
who possessed much saltatorial knowl-
edge, soon after her arrival opened q
dancing academy, which was extern
siyely patronized by the young ladies
of that time. When the war came on
her talents were developed in the di-
rection of stage dancing, while her sis
tors became players in soubrette parts,
especially Miss Sallie, who became a
universal favorite with the public. The
latter supplied the old-time place OF
Maggie Mitchell, who had ceased, tenn
porarily, at least, to be southern ia.
vorite because she went North. Miss
Jennie, who was also great favorite,
married Mr.. Edward F. Barnes, OF Rich
mond, and died within a year after her
marriage. Miss Mary Partingtoa was
in her seventy-fourth year when she
died, and she passed away at the resi-
dence of her sister Sallie, at Pole Green,
Hanover county. Both of the brothers
were devotedly Virginian in feeling
and served in the Confederate army
with credit to themselves. Since the
war William Darlington began a bust
ness in Richmond with Mr.. G. q. Del
ard as partner, but this firm long ago
dissolved. The theatrical aggregation
performing at the old Marshall in war
times consisted of Captain Charles,
Harry Mccarthy, R. 81. Dalton and
wife, Harry Allen, Jim Wells, F: III.
Bates, Mr.. Thorpe, Ella and Eliza
Wrenn, Ida Vernon, Katie Estelle, W..
Harrison, Mrs. DeBar, D'Orsay Ogden,
Walter Keeble, Charles Morton and
Mary, sallie and Jenny Darlington. In
those days no matter what sort of play
was put up the place was crowded
nightly. One appealing to the patriot
ism of the Confederates was sure to
bring down the house in roar that
would have caused commotion even
in Grants army could it have been
heard. In those days the regular
theatre doorkeeper was reinforced by
two local defense men armed with
muskets to keep out the soldiers. but
when the latter wanted to get in they
formed company by twos, made rush
for the doors and soon lis guardians
were brushed aside like so much chat.
Ella Wrenn during the war married d
Kentucky soldier named Blair and be-
came the mother of Eugenla Blair. now
Mrs. Robert Downing. Eliza Wrenn
married Mr.. Patrick BEDFORD, of Man
chester.
