As to the allegation that MIR. Warner
had written Secretary of the Navy Her
bert, apropos of the Board OF Trade
dinnar, explaining that the Board Of
TraGe's faGilities for entertaining him
were inadequate and that he would be
pleased to eutertain Mr.. Herbertl at
his own residence, Mr.. Warner said
that prominent gentleman of this
city came 10 him and said that he
understood Mr.. Herbert was to lie en-
tertained at the Clayton House, whereas
he thought he should be entertained by
some privats individual.
Mr.. Warner thereupon dropped in on
Mr.. Lawton, president of the Board of
Trade, who said Mr.. Herbert was to be
entertained at the Clayton House. Mr.
Warner said he thought the secretary
should be entertained by a private
family. Mr.. Lawton then said that +.
NJ. Iloopes had talked of inviting him.
Mr. Warner then made two efforts to
talk with Mr.. Hopes, but did not
come up with him, and as the time
was short sent Secretary HerhBrt a
formal invitation to be the guest of
Mrs. Warner and him while in Will
mington, making no reference to the
Board OF Trade arrangements. 10 this
Invitation Mr. Warner received the
Secretary's regrets.

aged to such an extent that they are
practically useless. A number of bouks
we're burned and about 30 yards of

The members of the club have been
making an Investigation. but as yet
have not learned anything that would
give them clue to tne origin of the
