WHITE RTBBOyFRs RETURN.
Very Much Pleased with Their Treatment
in Danville,

The Richmond White Ribboners return
ed from their State Convention on Fri
day night and yesterday. All express
themselves in glowing terms OF the hos
pitabIe treatment they received during
their stay in Danvile. Not only was the
convention, as a representative organ
lZed body, shown every courtesy and con-
siderateness, but the delegates individ-
ually were entertained with a charming
hospitality that made them feel al home
and pleasantly al ease. The homes where
doors were thrown open TO the delegates
gave every evidence that they were not
entertaining persons out OF mere matter
Of conventionalsm but guests who were
thrice welcome. The ministers Of the city
very generally manifested their interest
in the convention and the cause. and
many OF them gave their cordial co-opera-
ton I'm making the occasion q success
The Mayors ringing address Of welcome
was inspiring; the street car companies
very thoughtfully gave the delegates a
trip through the city; the city press gave
good reports Of the conventions delibera-
tons and said kind things. and altogether
the occasion was one long 10 be remem-
bered The delegates also speak highly
OF DanVlle's beauty as a city: OF its mag
nificent residences. and its evidences Of
thrift and enterprise.
The White Ribbon Army Is daily in
creasing in strength and usefulness. It
Is receiving the hearty endorsement and
cooperation OF the churches. generally
speaking. Now and then there may be ex-
ception on the ground that women
should keep SILENT but IL Is always
noticeable fact that even those who OPP
pose woman's taking a pronounced stand
i'm q practical manner for the good Of the
world do not oppose their work and sacri-
flee wherein they are subordinate To the
powers that be-" and form the mainstay
and support Of such powers.
with reference to the criticism that the
w G. r. L. Is tending towards woman
suffrage, a loyal member OF the organi-
cation yesterday very happily remarked,

the ooURr OF JUSTICE JOHN.
A Young Negro Man Sent to the Grand
{urv f.r assa.,lf


His Honor had before him yesterday a
serious case OF assault preferred against
Walter Traylor colored. by Emeline Har-
vey, also cOlored.
The facts as brought out in the hearing
were to the effect that Walter Traylor
and Emeline Harvey, a house-seryant,
employed by Mr.. Milton Cayce. who lives
in the western outskirts OF the city, were
at a ''parlor social" on west Cary street
Thursday night. When the party broke up
young Traylor accompanied the girl TO
her home, and 1t was claimed by her
that at the gate of Mr.. Cages house,
where she lived, Traylor attempted to
assault her. The girl stated that she
strenously objected and fought the man
Off. and that. finding she was being over
powered, she screamed. Mr.. Cayce was
aroused from his slumbers and ran 10
the window in time TO see a man making
tracks for distant parts, and the girl lying
at the gate.
The accused stated that he made no
attempt at assault. and described his
movements.
Detectives Gibson and Hall arrested the
young man and Mr.. George Il. Wise
represented him. and the case was sent
on to the grand jury
IL is coincidental that Trayor was be-
fore Justice John some weeks ago on
almost a slmilar'charge. which, however.
was dismissed upon the marriage OF the
parties.

Many strong reasons have been urged I'm

ton was passed at the Pittsburg conven-
ton 20 the effect that the convention Of
1898 should be held in one OF the first
named months. Several difficulties have
presented themselves. however, to this
plan, the chief OF which is that the city
which had extended an invitation 10 the
convention for 1898 has recently amended
the invitation by adding a provlso that
the meeting take place in October and
not during the summer. Unless an invi-
tation Is received, therefore. from some
other city willing 10 have the convention

and most of the delegates will leave FOR
home the next morning. A trip is being
planned to Niagara Falls, however, on
Monday and II a sufficient number Of
delegates wish 20 take the trip arrange
ments will be made for a special train
from Buffalo and a special train down
the Gorge road at very low rate. No
doubt many OF the delegates will also
wish to remain long enough 10 see some
thing OF Buffalo itself which impresses
even the most casual visitor with the
fact that il is one Of the most attractive
cities I'm the United States. In many re-
spects II resembles Washington, and its
wide. shaded streets open up vistas of
natural beauty rarely seen in any other
city. Delegates will find their time so
fully occupied while the convention IS in
session that they will have little oppor-
tunity to see anything OF the city or it's
surroundings until after the convention
has adjourned
II is probable that a number OF dele
gates will avail themselves OF this on
