AINsLIE WILL NOT ACCEPT.
Company ID, of the Blues, Still
Without a Captain.

Captain George Ainslie will not accept
the captaincy Of Company b, Of the Blues
Battalion. lie arrived at this determine
ton yesterday, and at once comnuni-
Gated his declination to First-Lieutenant
George w. Pegram, who will lay it before
the company at their regular weekly
meeting tonight.
Captain Ainslie was elected by the COM
pany to succeed Captain j. Clements
Shafer, that gentleman having succeeded
Captain Ainslie about two years ago. He
was unanimously called to his old COM
mand, and took the matter under adj
Visement considering it carefully until
yesterday, when he concluded not to re-
enter the service.
Captain Ainslie was seen by Dispatch
man last night and asked concerning the
letter he had written Lieutenant Pegram,
but he declined to discuss 1t, asserting
that Mr.. Pegram was the proper person
to make known the contents Of that letter.
The epistle will not, however, be given out
until it is laid before the company.
The company will now have to elect
another captain, and il is probable that
either Mr. Pegram or Second-Lieutenant
w. s. p. Mayo will be selected Mr..
Pegram, II is understood, has been ap-
preached and asked to accept the cap
taincy, but was forced TO decline because
OF business reasons. The company WILL
therefore. have TO go over his head, ana
as Mr.. Mayo is very popular among his
associates he will probably be chosen.

MIR. Andrew Price, Of Pocahontas. w.

Richmond on a combined trip Of business
and pleasure. For pleasure he brings his
bride on a visit to the relatives and many
friends Of his mother. who was herself
Richmond lady. ana the business he is
making out of his trip is to find some
blood relative of J. w. Davis.
The little story and the mystery with
which Il is spiced makes 1t interesting
to read, and stll more II one happens
TO have the blood of the lamented Davis
flowing I'm his veins
More than a half century ago gentle
man came TO Richmond from the section
Of the state which is now West virginia
driving before him fsrd of cattle for
Richmond's market. While on this trip
he saw a small lad named Davis in the
poorhouse of the city. and was struck
with the handsome face Of the child, and,
perhaps because he had no children 10
cheer his own home, he determined 70
ADOPT the boy. He was taken home, as
carefully reared and trained as one could
wish his own child, and when a man he
proved n friend truly TO be leaned upon
TO the man who had helped him in his
need. His old friend died. He was his
heir. and in coming years he prospered.
When almost an old man he married a
lady who did not survive him, and no
child came TO bless their welded life.
Two years ago the man himself died, and
left no will, but an estate valued at about
$500
Early after his marriage Mr. Davis
made a will leaving the entire property
to his wife. But this last testament, at
her death, was burned, and no other was
made SO now the property goes first to
any one, however distant the relation
may be. who can prove a blood -kinship
to the deceased man. Should no success
ful claim arise, the estate will 90 to the
heirs If the dead wife.
Mr.. Price win not leave the city until
every effort has been made to trace the
relatives of Mr. Davis. The records Of
the almshouse Will be diligently searched,
the records of the courts will undergo
most careful scrutiny, and every nook
and corner examined for some trace OF
the man or woman who would accept this
handsome heritage.
Mr.. Price IS young editor and lawyer
of the state on Virginia's west, and is in a
fair beginning of promising career He
is stopping at present at No. 49 north

DIR. Hntcher's Address to the st"-
dents of Depison University.

The Densonian, published under the d.
rection Of the faculty Of Denison UNI
versity. at Granville. o., in its report OF
the observance of the day Of prayer for
colleges. says:
''Dr. Hatcher. who has so ably and sue
cessfully conducted the special meetings
in the village during the last few weeks,
was in charge, and. contrary 10 the usuaI
custom, did not deliver a sermon Dul
instead gave an address upon the Day
Of Prayer and Its Relation TO the AmeIl-
can Colleges" The speaker began py
citing the many dangers incident to col
lege life, demonstrating the necessity Tor
prayer. He continued by dividing the
subjects for prayer into three classes
First we should pray for a better equip
ment OF our UNCONVENTIONAL schools. STATE
and secular schools each have their ad-
vantages, yet the sectarian college -
needed. A college is the hottest thing we
have, and so we should beseech God TO
supply the many needs. Second, we should
pray for teachers. There Is no more re-
sponsibility than at the desk. TeacherS
ought to know by what authority they
speak. They should possess three special
gifts-Natural talent. the art OF teachinB'
and the grace OF teaching. Third, pray
ers should be offered that the material
which passes through college may get
back home in good shape. This Is all
important. A college should feel unhappy
as long as there is one within ITS borders
unsaved.
"At the conclusion Of the address those
who had been converted during the meet
ngs. as well as those who have been re-
claimed from their wanderings. pressed
forward and grasped the Doctor by the
hand 1t was truly "A touching sight as
forty-three young men and many young
ladies testified to the saving power OF
God"

OLD DoMINIoN's NEW STEAMER.
Expected to he Launched at Chester,
Pa, About the Middle of April.

Captain John NJ. Mayer of the Old Do
minion Steamship Company, speaking Of
the splendid liner that company has now
in course of construction, at Chester
Pa, said that the new vessel would be
launched about the middle of April. lie
remarked that work upon it was
progressing very satisfactorily. The
Pilot. a monthly publication, issued by
the passenger department Of the COM
pany. in one of its recent Nos, had
the following to say in regard TO the new
steamer:
'The contract was awarded TO the
Delaware-River Iron Ship-Building and
Engine-Works, under the terms of which.
If the vessel is not completed and de-
livered TO the company by the LIST day
of August next, the builders will forfeit
500 per day for every day she is delayed
after that date on the other hand. If
she is delivered to the company before
the lst of August. the builders will re-
ceive 800 per day for every day she is
so delivered.
"In general character and type this
steamer is to be the same as the James
town and Yorktown, but is TO be in
creased in length feet, in width 2
feet. and in depth / foot. She will have
increased passenger accommodations, and
all the large rooms in the main saloon
will have wide beds, while the upper
berth is arranged to close up, like those
on Pullman-cars. There will be a large
smoking-room on the hurricane deck.
She will have slightly increased power,
guaranteeing her the same speed as the
jamestown and Yorktown, and will have
all modern improvements; in fact, be an
other jamestown and Yorktown i'm
proved. having increased freight ca
pacity."
