REUNION OF MosBY's MEN.-There
will be a reunion of the men of Col.
John S. Mosby's command in Alexan-
dria on the 10Th of this month. AS the
Alexandria Gazette says, the men, who
were mostly very young at The close OF
the war, are now scattered all over the
United States, engaged in nearly every
profession and business occupation.
and this will be their first re union
since they were disbanded, not SIR,
rendered, by their famous leader at
Salem, Fauquier county, late in the
month of April, 1865. The record OF
this command is now a part cf the
country's history, and is very brilliant
and replete with daring adventures.
The battle at Berryville, in Clarke
county, in October, 1864, reported by
federal government in the war re-
Cords" was unexcelled by any engage
ment of troops during that eventful
period. Mosby with only $50 men sue
cesSfully attacked and defeated a
whole brigade of infantry, capturing
200 prisoners, $50 fat cattle and over
100 fine mules, all of which were turn
ed over to the Confederate government
at Richmond,

9TH $4,000, 900 in each of the two pre-
ceding months, and promising some
further increase with the large with
drawals of woolens and as the impor-
tations of sugar and internal revenue
collections of whiskey tax revive. The
expenditures for December, however,
were Unexpectedly large, exceeding the
receipts by more than S5,0O0,0O0 for the
month, $27,000,000 for the six months
and 100000, 900 for the year. The com
parison of the condition of the Treas
ury now and a year ago is with the
time when its gold fund and general
cash balance had fallen to a very low
ebb prior to the issue of bonds, and, al
though the general cash balance is now
reported as more than $150,000 900, COM
pared with S90,0OO,0 900 on January list,
1898, the gold reserve is but little larger
than at the beginning of last year. The
situation shown by the Treasury state
for the opening of the new year
is ----SAs to impress in the strongest
terms on Congress and the Administra-
ton the need CT economy and of meas
ures for the protection of the gold fund
and reform of the currency.

GRATEFUL MoTHERs-TwO YOUNG
MEN PARDoNED.-On Wednesday last,
January End. Gov. O'Ferrall pardoned
George and Radford Cooper out of the
penitentiary. They are young men,
first cousins, from Montgomery coun-
ty, serving II and 10 years respectively
for murder in the second degree. They
have served about five years in prison.
Executive clemency was exercised on
the recommendation of the jury that
tried the case, the commonwealth at
torney, the penitentiary physician and
others. The mothers of the hoys, very
nice looking old ladies, we're at the
capitol, and when they learned OF the
governors action they rushed into his
presence and tearfully thanked him
for his action. 1t was pathetic scene
and brought tears to many eyes.

SMALLPOX IN KING WILLIAM CoUN-
TY.-Small-pox is spreading in King
William county. Three new cases
developed last Wednesday on the
Pamunkey Indian reservation near
Lester Manor. Governor O'Ferrall re-
ceiyed semi official notification that
day and was much disturbed by the
news. He at once put himself in com
munication with Commonwealth At
torney Lewis, of King William, and
directed that officer to enforce more
stringent quarantine rules. There is
little hope of keeping the disease con
fined to the Indian reservation, and
great alarm is felt among the people of
King William and surrounding coun-
ties. One of the persons who has had
a chance to contract the disease escap-
ed from quarantine and left the neigh

Joseph II. Dillon Tells Thrilling
Story of His Trip.

Joseph p. Dillon, business manager for
the Pauline Hall opera company. is at the
Bates House with his wife. Both were
painfully injured in the wreck. Mr.. Dillons
head bears a lump about the size of hens
egg and is very tender and sore. Every
bone in his body, he says, feels as IL ii had
suffered a severe wrench, and it Is with
considerable effort that the sufferer is able
to walk across the floor. Mrs. Dillon is
prostrated from the effects of the nervous
shock and suffers intensely with her back.
Her arm is also very and she at first
thought the member was dislocated. The
billions were brought to this city yesterday
afternoon in sleeper attached to the regu-
lar Vandllia train from the West A number
of other injured people occupied the sleeper
but they were sent on East. With the as
sistance of her husband and number OF
train employees Mrs. Dillon was lifted from
the car, placed in an invalids chair and
wheeled to a carriage. DIR. Marsee, the
railroads surgeon, is attending her and
thinks she will be able to travel with her
husband in the course of a week.
The story of the wreck, related by the
billions. is very thrilling. They left the
Pauline Hall company. in St Louis, Mon
day, performing at John w. Norton's thea
ter. The latter on his way to New
York city to arrange some business mat
ters with Henry Abbey. the theatrical
manager. The billions were en- route to
Newark. n. j., and being old acquaintances
of Norton they had planned a pleasant trip.
Dillon and Norton occupied seats in section
four of the Pullman sleeper at the fatal
moment. and the theatrical agent clearly
recalls the last words that passed the lils
of his friend.
Poor Norton and / had been sitting in
Section for an hour or more. he began,
in recounting the details of the tragic ac-
cident last night. I'VE sat facing each
other and my wife was sitting in the either
end of the car two sections away. Norton
and | were busy with our conversation.
which was of a reminiscent character. John
W. Norton was one of the brightest men
] ever knew, / think. He was brilliant and
versatile and was always an interesting
man to talk to. He was feeling quite .ycly,
and we joked each other good-naturediy in
the way that theatrical men do when they
are thrown together for a. long ride. II wass
