raj Notes of Interest.

PETERSBURG. VA. September l6.-
Special Tho following gentlemen COM
pose the committee appointed 10 meet

N. c., or Friday. and escort him to this
city: Hon. Charles f.. Collier Mayor of
Petersburg; Hon. Richard b. Davis, Sid
ney NJ. Green. A c. Pryor, William NJ.
Jones, J. ID. Sublett, George Mason. John

Mr.. Bryan will be given salute from
a battery OF Napoleon guns, on his ar
rival at the upper depot. and a salute
from the same at the lower depot on his
departure for Richmond.
The Central Bryan and Sewall Club
had genuine treat last night in ad-
dresses delivered by Messrs. Richard b.
Davis and George Mason, two OF the lead
Ing members OF the bar OF this city.
These gentlemen are true-blue Demo-
Gratis. and they are giving earnest and
hearty support to the Chicago nominees
and platform as the work of the con-
vention OF the national Democratic party.
Their addresses were clear able,
thorough, and convincing, and elected
round after round of applause from a
large audience. These gentlemen should
be urged TO speak I'm every county in this
district.
And this leads properly 10 the remark
that. with probably two or three excep-
tions. the lawyers OF Petersburg are for
Bryan and Sewa1l.
PERSONAL AND GENERAL NEWS.
To-day is the sixty-ninth anniversary
OF the birth OF his Honor, Mayor Charles
T.. Collier, and he was the recipient of
congratulations from many of his friends.

in which he now lives. Petersburg has
no more upright and honest citizen, or
more benevolent, beloved. and Christian
gentleman than Mayor Collier.

A. Hancock presiding, argument was
heard on the petition of r. ID. Gillian
for a mandamus requiring the Street
Committee, as the Council had ordered,
TO restore portions Of Fillmore street to
the condition it was in before recent i'm
provements were made. Some interesting
questions were raised, and the Judge took
the matter under consideration Mr..
George S. Bernard appeared for the plain
tiff and Mr.. George Mason for the city.
The public schools in this city opened
to-day with largely increased enroll
ment OF pupils.

New York Dry-Good. Market.

NEW YORK, September 16-As the
week progresses the contrast with last
week in point of the volume OF business
doing in the dry-goods market Is more
pronounced, there being marked falling
off In the demand for staple cotton goods,
in which liberal business was being
transacted a week ago. Tomorrow Is a
strict Jewish holiday, and this means an
other quiet day, so that the whole week 5
business IL not likely to compare well
with last weeks aggregate sales.
This has no effect whatever on the
tone of the market. Sellers knew that
the recent advances were likely to check
buying to some extent, and were quite
prepared to see buyers pause awhile, but
they are secure In their position, carrying
no stocks of q troublesome nature. with
only a limited production coming forward,
and with staple cottons still intrinsically
cheap
Their trouble in the market are altogether
discredited to-day, and the disturbing ef-
feet of these reports has disappeared.
whilst there are good grounds for be-
lieving In an eminently satisfactory issue
Of the Coffin, Altemus e Co. suspension.
Printed cotton fabrics are very firm.
with a hardening appearances In some an.
rections. There Is no change In the WOOL
len-goods division.

ciel)-An exceptionally quiet wedding
took place at st. Paul's church this af-
ternoon, when James p. Whitacre, of
Winchester, Va, and Miss Mercie Glasse,
presumably of New York, were married
The manner of the wedding suggested
the possibility of a romance, although

uncle, who is now in Berlin. The couple
first went TO Washington. but as tho
young lady was an alien license was
refused them, so they returned to Balti-
more and stopped at the Hotel Rennert.
Across the street lives the Rev. DR. j. 5.
y. Hodges. and he was asked 10 perform
the ceremony. This was done In ST.
Pauls church., the great editice being

The Virginia League season OF 1896 has
ended, with the games Of yesterday
the league passed into things that have
been. and the various players who com
posed the clubs constituting the league
concluded their contracts.
Norfolk won the last series by
scratch. beating Portsmouth out by one
game. As a consequence. the Portsmouth
team lost all chances OF securing the
pennant. which has yet to be played for

LEAGUE NOT SUCCESSFUL.
The Virginia League has not been as

stronger organization than the Virginia
League, and their withdrawal viii pro-

League. though Mr.. Watson, OF Ports

RICHMOND DID WE'LL.

10 win be observed that Lynchburg
leads Richmond by 81 points. but it must
also be taken into consideration that they
played twenty-seven games less. and had
they continued would probably have lost
"a preat many OF these. At the close of
the first half. on July %. Richmond was
l20 points behind Lynchburg, and the
g9in was considerable.
The seasons race between Norfolk and
Richmond has been a very pretty one,
indeed. and the Bmebirds finished but
90 points ahead. The two clubs are really
very evenly balanced, and the Champion
ship games will no doubt be fine exhibit

Walker Whiteslde appeared as Richie

merit Of these passages Is that OF the
