OUT OF THE RACE.
observe that Judge w. II. Rhea 81
l5ristol. Is out OF the race for, Attorney
General. Ile has been looked upon as d
very strong candidate. There Is now
some talk OF Hon. Sam Williams, OF
Mytheviiie. who was the Democratic
nominee Tor Congress In the Ninth Dis
trict last year, making the race. IN
the list or candidate FOR the third place
on the ticket given In this CORES pond
cncc rev Gays ago the name or Mr..
LLOYD !: smith, OF northumberland, was
inadvertently omitted. He Is very
much q candidate. Ex-senator Black
stone or Accomac, IS also u prospective
candidate. r'-'
AN iAN1T-LAArB VICTORY.
The nomination Of Park Agnew or
Alexandria, for Collector OF Internal
revenue for the Western District, Is re-
ga Eardea mere US an nnti-Lanl'b victory
me Republican chairman was anxious
for Pat McCnull to get the place. while
AEnew was backed by the WaddIl,--
Brady combination. II IS said the Presi-
dent stated that inasmuch as McCaull
had held the office under the adminis-
tration Of Harrison u new man should
nave 1t now. II The President did take
this view or the matter It Is difficult to
see now he can appoint Col. James d.
Brady Collector for this dictrct. as The
Colonel filled the Office under Harrison.
The appointment or Mr. Agnew, Of
course. removes him from the list Of
good material for the Republican nomi-
nation Tor Governor.
WORSE no COME.
The movement OF the Drcac chers look
ing TO breaking up Sunday excursions
Is said to be the forerunner or u greater
movement having for It's object the Sc
bath 1t IS probable the Ministerial
Union Of Richmond and Manchester will
take hold OF the subject at It's next
meeting. 1t is claimed by some Of the
preachers that Il good many bar-rooms ,
keep open on Sunday and that there Is !

than should be tolerated. If the saloons
do keep open 1t is certainly done much
more quietly than heretofore. The police
have strict orders TO look out for such
violations, and 1t Is not often that they
succeed In finding a place where liquor
Is being sold on Sunday.
May RECONSIDER.
It Is possible that Rev. DR.. j. Y. Fair :
will reconsider his purpose to accept the !
call to Savannah. There will be d !;
meeting Of his congregation tomorrow
night for the purpose OF making an ap-
peal to him to remain here. 1t is said, |
too. that the Presbytery will be asked !
