 Arms Company.
 The following item appeared in va- rious afternoon dispatches yesterday:
 Tt has been learned on the best of authority that the Winchester Repeat ing Arms company is about to receive, or has already received, big order for rifles from the Russian government. This order is said to be the result of the czar's fancy for the guns of this big concern.
 Tt could not be learned, to-day, whether the Winchester people had re- ceived the order as yet. It is learned that the Winchester company has re- ceived from its agent assurances that the Russian government will order 50,- 900 rifles, If the order has not already been sent"
 A representative of the Winchester Arms company when seen last night by a Journal and Courier reporter and asked If the runlor were founded on facts, replied: You can say that there is nothing on which to base that story

and affable Clerk OF the House OF Dele

century. was called TO his desk as tenn
porary secretary. and as he walked
across the stage he was given decided
ovation, and there were calls Tor
speech, 10 which he responded IN his
usual vein OF wit and hurnor. This cor
dial greeting" he said. 'is as gratifying
to my pride as an old-fashioned Virginia
Brunswick stew is to the appetite"
This put the crowd in good humor, and
the Colonel kept them in an uproar. He
made a strong plea for the pure Dcmoc-
racy and told several anecdotes which
provoked hearty laughter.
