president of Hampden- Sidney college. Dr. Hoce began his ministerial career in lS44 in Richmond. He gathered to- gcthcr small congregation, which first worshipod in lecture room, and in lS4S his church was built. It has since been greatly enlarged, and few churches in Richmond have so numerous a con grcgation.
 When the war began, Dr. Hoge warm ly GSpoused the cause of the south and was volunteer chaplain in the Rich mOnd camp of instruction. He continued his regular church work and preached to tho soldiers several times n week. One of tho most exciting events in his career occurred in 1864, when he took passage on a blockade runner at Charles ton. ran the blockade at dead of night and reached Nassau, whence he sailed for England. He was cordially received by Lord Shaftesbury, the president of tho British and Foreign Bible society. and made an address asking for dona- tion of Bibles for use among the Con- fcdcrato soldiers. The result was free grant of 10000 Bibles, 50, 900 Testa- ments and 2J0. 900 portions of the Scriptures neatly bound in black glazed covers, Many of these ral tho blockade and were delivered to tho soldiers in the southern armies.
 Dr. uoge has been very prominent in tho southern general assembly of the Presbyterian church and ill 1875 was moderator of the assembly that met in St. Louis. In ISS0 ho made tour of Europe. Despite the fact that he is ap- preaching fourscoro years ho is in good health and often works in his study un til o'clock.

THE CHARTER.

THE ChAhTEhs
 The portion of the new charter pertain ing to consolidation will probably be dis euSsed at the meeting of the court of com mon council this evening. Every member of that body should put on his thinking cap and consider carefully the matter in all it's details before voting for or against it.
 The DEMOCRAT is not sure that the con- solidation of the city and town govern ments is not for the best. It would be a grave mistake to include the center school district But, without considering the merits of the proposed plan. it would seem that the whole matter ought to be submit ted to the people. It is proposed to change the organic law of the city and town. and 1t is assuming altogether too much author ity for the court of common council to say whether or not consolidation shall be. Already we hear murmurings of dissatis faction. and it would not be surprising if wranele involving the town and city. at great expense to the taxpayers
 Let 1t be remembered that the town and center school district were not represented on the charter committed; tLat no public meetings were held and no notice served on anybody that such radical changes were contemplated. It is unreasonable to expect that the two governments which it is expected to swallow will submit tamely to the operation.
 Ia order to avoil future complications the DEMOCRAT would again urge the coun- cil to submit the question of consolidation to the people The details cIn be arranged afterwards. If. however, the city fathers decide to settle the matter themselves, we would suggest that the center school dis trict be left out of the proposed consolida- tion

A CONFERENCE TODAY
Between President Hubbard and En-
ployes Of the Wheeling Steel Plant
Relative to the Scale Of Wages for
the Ensuing Year-SOme Points
of Difference Between the Scales
Submitted by the Officials and by
the Employees.

1t is expected that the question of
adopting a new wage scale for the com
ing year at the Wheeling steel plant
viii be settled to-day. President
Hubbard has been in Chicago. and is
expected to return this morning. A
conference win likely be held between
President Hubbard and a committee Of
employees, at which an agreement will
be reached, subject to the ratification
OF the employees.
There is considerable difference be
tween the scales submitted by the men
and the management Both provide
Ior substantial increases in wages. and
10 lis probable that new scale Will be
formed by mutual concessions. The
principal point at issue is with refer
ence to the system Of computing wages.
Previous TO the time when the present
scale went into effect nearly all the
employees were paid by the tonnage sys-
TEN. During the business depression,
the men accepted the reduction MADE
by the company, and more than half
OF them have since been paid by the
day. They have not made as big
wages under the system. and are there
fore anxious to return TO the tonnage
plan, and have provided for such a re-
turn i'm the scale which they have sub
mitted TO Mr.. Hubbard.
There are also other complaints
against the compaDys scale, which are
of minor importance, and generally
arise from the impression on the part
OF certain individuals that they are not
being as well treated as others III the
matter of advance in wages. However,
none Of these grievances are cOnsid-
cred to be OF such a serious nature as
to cause and friction in the conference
to be held to-day. and 1t is more than
likely that the two sides will come TO
am amicable agreement, and the plant
VIII continue i'm operation without any
unpleasantuess.

Secretary George Hook, of the State
Fair Association, yesterday figured up
the financial end of the fifteenth an
nual Fair, and the Directors and stock
holders were pleased to find that after
all the hard luck which befell the Asso-
citation they came out on the right side
with a balance Of $3,0S6.4O.
There were a number of circum-
stances operating against the achieve
ment of a great success this year, and
they were all beyond the control OF the
Association. One Of these was the But
falo Bill show, which brought many
people here who would not pay a sec
ond visit to the city within so short
time to attend the Fair. Then there
was the smallpox scare, which kept
many timid people away and cost the
Association money, and on top OF these
was the wet weather which cut down
the attendance onThursday and Friday
by thousands and discouraged the man
agement and everybody else. Yet, de-
spite these very serious drawbacks the
Association not only made both ends
meet, but something over, and the good
work Of giving the best fair in this part
OF the country will be continued right
along at the old stand. The balance
sheet is as follows:

EXPENDITURES.

In another column will be found a
call for a meeting Of the stockholders
of the Association, to take action upon
a very important matter-the debt OF
the corporation. The great changes and
improvements made on the grounds last
year cost SS2, 800 of hard cash. This
has been cut down to about $4,000, and
the question before the stockholders
will be. what provision shall be made
for this debt. An issue of bonds to run
ten years appears at present to be the
best plan, but this and other ideas will
be brought before the meeting, and
some appropriate action viii result.
The grounds have been thoroughly
cleaned up and put in good shape
since the Fair, and a large amount Of
attention will now be devoted to the
trees. the growing of grass around the
edges Of the track embankment, and in
other ways making the interior gener-
ally more attractive.
