EXCITING SCENE.

Quite lively scene took place in
Richmond yesterday morning between
Mayor Taylor and Mr.. Henry W.
Rouutree, a member of the council
committee on retrenchment and re-
form. The incident grew out of the
passage over the mayors veto of the
ordinance reducing the salaries OF GER
tain city officials. Recently Alderman
Evans Snead made the statement that
Mayor Taylor had been approached
and told that if he would not veto that
ordinance his salary would not be
touched Wednesday night this state.
ment was brought to the attention OF
the full committee on retrenchment.
A sub committee, composed of MIR.
Mr.. Rountree and Mr.. Ebell,
was appointed to wait upon the
mayor and learn from him the name
of the author of the offer. These
two gentlemen called upon his
honor at the city hall at noon yester'
day and informed him of the nature
of their mission. Mayor Taylor created
sensation by asserting that Mr.. ROM
tree, the member of the committee be-
fore him, was the man who had made
the statement to him. This Mr.. Koun-
tree denied in the most positive and
emphatic matter. Hot words passed
between the two gentlemen, during
which each asserted in the most posi-
tive manner that he was right in this
matter. Itdeveloped that the CONVEX
sation referred to by the Mayor occurred
about three months ago. MIR. Rountree
remembered it, but insisted that no re-
ference was made to the Mayors salary.
The latter asseverated that he would
take forty oaths that be was quoting the
conversation correctly. Both of the
gentlemen were very much excited.
The scene was the liyeliest ever witness
ed in the city hall.

A MATRIMONIAL ALTAR.

A dispatch from Bristol, Va, to the
Baltimore Sun says: Rev. A. II. Bur-
rougbs, commonly known as "Parson
Burroughs" who keeps the Nickels
House, Just across the State line in
Bristol, Tenn, established matrimon-
ial altar there seven years ago for the
benefit of clipping couples from Vir-
ginia. The Virginia laws regulating
marriage make it impossible for minors
to marry in the State without the con.
sent of parents or guardian. This pro-
vision has resulted in fruitful business
for Parson Burroughs and has given 10
his house the title of Bristol's matri-
monial Mecca. Since he established an
altar in connection with his hotel bust
ness, whether the guests were many or
few, Parson Burroughs has been able to
live comfortably. During the seven
wears that this altar has been in exist
ence, Bristol's unique old minister, who
breaches at the Baptist mission every
Sunday night, has olficiated in the mar
riage of 615 clipping couples from Vir-
ginia and West Virginia, and with this
remarkable record he considers that
his business is yet in its infancy. Par
son Burroughs has made upwards
Of $1,000 out of this business. The
large number of marriages at which he
has officiated include some exceeding
ly romantic affairs. He has united
couples under great variety Of con-
ditions. Many of these couples have
been well.to-do, while others have been
quite poor. An instance frequently oc.
ours where the bride is only fifteen or
sixteen years of age, while the groom
is widower of from forty to fifty years.
Again, sometimes it is just the reverse,
the groom being mere youth, who has
allowed the cunning of some risky
widow to entrap him. The couple of
most frequent occurrence is the one
that reaches the Mecca under difficulty.
1t frequently happens that the escape
from under the parental roof has been
a thrilling one, and irate fathers have
followed their daughters for miles across
mountains and over frozen SHOWS, some
times to capture and bring back, but
for the most part to learn that they
have arrived safely at the Mecca and
undergone the fateful change. Scarce
" week passes, be the weather as it
may, but what some pair Of hardy
lovers reach Parson Burroughs door
after journey over hills and noun
tains lasting day and night. Usually
such couples come horseback, and
have the assistance of some kindly pi-
lot who is anxious that good romance
shall not be spoiled, even if the wealth
er should be too severe for trip un.
der ordinary circumstances.
In the manner above related, Parson
Burroughs, dwelling Ia peace just across
the State line, is doing an active bust
ness for which he would be punished
under laws that exist much less than a
stones throw from his door, and this
business is perpetually going on.

Adrift on an Ice Floe.

MARIETTE, Wis, Jan. 16.-At least
thirteen persons have undoubtedly
persisted as the result of the breaking
up of the ice in Green Bay yesterday
afternoon. The men were Swedish
and Norwegian fishermen, and were at
work on the ice placing their nets.
Without the least warning a gale sprung
up and the ice began to drift swiftly out
in the bay. Some of the men escaped,
but those who are missing we're 80 far
out that they could not get to place
of safety. The ice was only about three
inches thick, and as it began to move it
broke into small blocks. For a time
the men could be seen jumping from
one cake to another. An attempt was
made to row out to the men, but the
slush was so thick and the sea began to
roll so that it was impossible for the
boats to be of any use, and after short
struggle they put back. The families
of the men have given up all hope OF
their rescue, for even should the ice
hold together the weather is so cold
that they would perish from exposure.
MENoNINEE, Mich, Jan. 16.-All OF
the fishermen who were carried out
into the lake on an ice foe yesterday
afternoon but 8 reached Green Island
about two o'clock this morning. The
three missing men when last seen were
skating with hand sleds towards Cham
hers Island, and it is thought the ice
carried them therein safely. A rescu.
ing party is now out looking for them.
A later dispatch states that ell the
men are safe. The fishermen place
their loss at three hundred nets, some
of which may be recovered.

1T SEEMS as if there can't be differ

that doesn't suggest to some foolish peo
pie, usually in the North, the idea that
it will be settled by duel. Dueling,
both on the field and in the courts, is
more dangerous in the South than in
the North, and it is just as obsolete in
the former as in the latter; but many
Northern people don't think so. 1t is
observed, however, that no matter
what the provocation may be, nobody,
in the North or South, ever imagines
such a thing as duel between two

For the next six months citizens Of

poor privilege of standing competitive
examinations under the civil service
law, for the assigned reason that Vir-
GINA already has more than her fair
quota of positions in the governments

know that not half of those in federal
employment credited to Virginia are
