TO CHARTER A TRAIN
THIS PLAy ADOPTED rOR THE
FIRST MERCHANTS EXCURSION.
MONEY NEARLY ALL IN HAND.
The Committee to Meet This Morn
Ing and Perfect ARRANGEMENTS for
the Undertnkiug-Great Interest
in the Movement.

The Committee on Excursions. appointed
by the Chamber Of Commerce. arrived
at a determination on Thursday night to
undertake the first excursion to this city
in August. 1t will practically cover the
southern territory, and the cost OF the
train is estimated at 5000.
To the credit OF Richmond business
men and enterprise, be it known that
partial canvass OF merchants in thi.
city which took place yesterday. Lss
almost succeeded in raising the neces
sary fund, the managers, indeed, assert
ing that they believe they have the full
amount in sight. and will have II sub.
scribed by 10 o'clock this morning.
1t is in no sense a guarantee fund, and
the canvassers say that the money has
been promptly forthcoming in sums OF
$780, SO. and s25.
The committeeman are greatly ems
couraged at the success which has re.
warded their efforts, and II this excur.
sion is successful. as seems most prob.
able. they believe they will experience
not the slightest difficulty in arranging
several others this fall.
The date OF the excursion cannot. Oh
course, be set until 1t has been thorough
ly well advertised. and the convenience
OF southern merchants consulted. but
the matter will bo pushed forward ai
rapidly as possible.
There will be meeting Of the com.
mittee this morning at 10 O'Clock, a,
which prelimlnaries will be more fully
discussed. as the money TO charter the
train is expected to be In hand.

TWO BUILDERS FIGHT
MEssRs. GODDIN AND DIETRICH
HAVE AN ENCOUNTER.
CHAIR And SPILL As WEAPONS.
The Trouble Grows Out of the Al
legged Circulation by Mr.. Deitrick
of m Report Damaging TO Mr.. God
djn-Thc Latter Arrested.

The little builders shop. on Twenty
first street between Broad and Mar
shall. was the scene Of as much eX-
element yesterday evening about
O'Clock as has ever characterized that
place even on election-day, where, from
time almost immemorial. voting has
been held.
The occasion Of this excitement, which
attracted people from squares away,
was \ determined and disastrous fight
between Messrs. J. Temple Goddin and
Jacob Deitrick. former partner builders
in this establishment.
Some time after the difficulty between
the carpenters, Mr.. Goddin was seen,
and gave his account Of it very calmly
and seemed to regret very much what
had happened. He said that few days
ago. by mutual consent, Mr.. Deitrick
and himself dissolved a partnership OF
three years Mr.. Deitrick becoming their
successor. and since that time he had
heard that his former partner had cir
culated damaging reports about him. He
went to see Mr.. Deitrick yesterday at-
ternoon. and told him this must be
stopped. Mr.. Deitrick replied hotly.
A Ike retort came from Mr.. Goddin.
and with that Mr.. Deitrick started to-
wards Mr.. Goddin and attempted to in
troduce a chair into the proceedings. Mr..
Goddin then. according TO his story, as
Deitrick was a much larger man than
himself. grasped a wooden spill ana
struck Deitrick over the head and felled
him to the floor He struck him several
times afterwards. and when several gem
tlemen. who had rushed in, had sepa-
rated the beligerents it was seen that
both had been badly used.
Besides the ugly cash in Mr.. Detricks
forehead. which opened to the skull, an
unsightly bruise on his arm, and black
eye. Mr.. Goddin's forehead also gave
unmistakable signs Of a terrible thump-
ing. and he complained of an aching
back. He said he had been bent back
wards over pile Of lumber.
After the disturbance had quieted
down, Mr.. Detrick went TO the First
Police Station and swore out a warrant,
charging Goddn with felonious assault
and battery. and the latter was recog-
nized 10 appear before Justice Crutch-
field this morning.
Mr.. Deitrick lives some distance down
the Nne-Mile road. and could not be
seen last night Mr.. Goddin expressed
deep regret that he had used his former
friend so badly and said their intimacy
had lasted unbroken for ten years. He
also said that had he been beaten ever
so cruelty he would not have had
Deitrick arrested He does not Ike the
idea of going to court, and has never
had that experience.

from tho hand of n negro boy, and IS
now In a very serious condition at his
residence, No. 1901 west Leigh street.
4 short while before o'clock Mr. Nc
Dowell. a foreman i'm the shop, noticed
that some negro boys were throwing
rocks down the hill, and annoyed by
the nuisance and fearing the damage
their missiles might do. called several or
his men. and bade them run the negroes
away The negroes did run at first. but,
receiving endorsements, soon came back,
and opened battle i'm real earnest Then
the strife ended most distressngly. FOR
Mr. jenkins who was one OF the num-
ber Mr. Mcdowell had commissioned.
As soon as he was seen by the ne
groes to be hurt, they turned and fled,

Lee Camp, in regular session last night
decided that it would be inexpedient and
improper for them 20 endorse the move
ment Of the Young Mems Business Asso-
citation to extend an invitation to the
Grand Army OF the Republic TO hold
their annual encampment here in 1893.
\ subcommittee Of four from the COM
rnittee appointed by this association TO
invite the cooperation Of Lee and Pickett
camps, the Sons of Veterans. the Cham
ber OF Commerce. and other organizations
Of this city in this matter was present,
and asked the camp 10 look with favor
upon their proposition. After the ques-
tlOn had been fully debated. however,
the above decision was arrived at on
the ground that the camp was solely
a social organization, formed for the
purpose of private intercourse. and be-
nevolence. and that Il would be entirely
outside their province TO endorse a purely
business movement Of any sort what
ever.
The members Of the camp turned out
i'm fun force as the committee appeared
by prearrangement, and much interest
was evinced In the meeting outside the
camp hall. The discussion of the question
i'm all its bearings was very interest
Ing one.
Various routine matters were also dis
posed of by the camp.

JAPAN ACCEPTS ARBITRATION.
immigration 10 Hawaii-The Tax on
sake.

WASHINGTON, July SO.-The Japa-
nese Government has accepted the offer
made by Hawaii to arbitrate the dis
pute between the TWO countries. The
state Department has been Informed OF
the offer and the acceptance Of il. The
subjects Of arbitration will include not
only the difficulty over the landing OF
the japanese immigrants, but also other
disbursements between the two coun-
tries. the most important of which is
the sake tax, imposed upon Japanese
liquor largely imported and consumed by
the japanese in Hawaii.
The acceptance of the offer Of arbi-
tration. a brief synopsis Of which has
been cabled to the Japanese Minister
here and given to the state Department,
states that the japanese Government ac-
cents arbitration in principle. and is pre-
pared TO enter upon the terms for
settlement Of pending disputes. The for
NAL letter of acceptance has been sent
to Hawaii and the conditions of arbi-
tration will be contained therein. Those
conditions are not known here. Pend
ing the arrangement of details, all other
proceedings looking TO a settlement VIII
be discontinued.
The sake tax, Of which the Japanese
complain, is an increase Of the duty on
this liquor. from - cents 10 81 per gallon
This tax was passed by the Hawaiian
LEGISLATURE, and vetoed by President
Dole. on the ground that it was un-
constitutional. and in violation of the
treaty with Japan, which had rights un-
der the most favored nation clause. The
tax was passed over his veto, almost
only one vote being cast
to sustain the President. The pressure
for taxing sake was from the saloon
keepers and the manufacturers of IL
auors. as the Japarese use this liquor al
most wholly, to the exclusion of other
bcyaraQeS

AMERICANS IN MORRO CASTLE.
That Note in a Tobacco-Bale-Ner
Like a Fake.

WASHINGTON. July 5O.-The State De-
nartment has received from the Philadel-
mia tobacco firm the note found in
hale of tobacco from Cuba stating that
three Americans were confined In MORO
Castle. and were unable TO communicate,
he forwarded to Consul-General Lse, at
Habana. but the officials do not attach
much Importance to IL. from internal
evidence of its bogus character. For in
stance, il is said that there were no
cook's excursions last year 10 Cuba: that
the American nsul-General knows al
OF the very few American prisoners In
the Moro. and, lastly II is pointed OUT
young men. later on In the note the
xritar refers TO their honorable dis
