1.-The above figures are not fully under
stood. Some people are wondering how
it is that the expert accountant placed
Mr.. Thomas Indebtedness at ST. 900 and
it is now $4,000. This can be explained
by stating that the expert report was up
to July ], and the latter covers a period
OF two months up to September l, which
of course has given the treasurer time to
receive other money.

ported that the treasurer had ST. 900 in

port the Democratic Ticket.

To the Washington Cor: espondent OF
rie AleNandria Gazette, Mr.. Swanson,
who is now in Washington talked very
freely the other day The CORE spondent
says:
"Among the visitors here to-day is
Congressman swanson, of Virginia. He
is here to revise the papers in his con
tested election case and to have them
printed. He says the Popul;stS in his
State will support the Democratic ticket.
They regret the Democrats did not en-
dorse Colonel Ccckc for lieutenant-
governor hut the fact that tliAy didn't
will MT deter them from voting the
Democratic ticket, because that ticket is
for free silver, aud that is what they are
after. He says that so far AS he can
learn, the rank and file nj the Republican,
party in his State are in favor of n State
Republican convention and that its only
opponents in the party are those who
have been appointed to Office, who hone
to get Office or have been promised Office
lie also says that District Attorney Mon
tague was reappointetl for the reason that
the President is in doubt as to which fac
ton of the Republican party in Nirg' mia
Is the stronger, and is holding up APP
pontments in that State Until that doubt
shall lie removed. Mr.. Swanson says If
the Republicans Of the State will now
ttke the tronhle to let the Presiden
know thai their committee does not rep
resent the majority of their voters the
slate of the C mmittee will be broken and
some of those not now on that slate be
very likely to get office Mr.. Swanson
says the Virginia DemoC rats are in excel.
lent condition and that there are not the
slightest grounds for the contest that is
being made foc his seat. He says Senator
Daniel has sewed up Governor O'Ferrall
with n single stitch. and did it courte-
ously.n

The beacons After Thorough Examina-
tion Pass Upon Mr. Hope's Examination.
AT the last regular monthly session OF
Calvary baptist Church the deacons rec
ommended license &c b. Lacy Hoge
Esq, OF this city, to preach. The report
of the deacons dealt at some length with
the question of doctrine ms held by the
church anu upon which in open session
of the deacons Mr. Hoge had been exam
ined. Many had supposed that Mr.. Hoge
was not exactly orthodox in his views on
some points of doctrine rs held by his
church, VIZ, baptism and sanctilication.
Upon these points, however, the dea-
cons found him to hold views strictly in
accord with his church, that baptism
should CONFORM as near ms possible to a
burial as taught in Romans 6:36
AS to specification, he declared. st
means to cleanse and set apart Ito God s
service. Man is cleansed by the blood of
Christ from all sin and upon Il complete
conservation is baptized with he holy
spirit and set apart to the service of
God"
The deacons of the church also dealt
with certain run:ors concerning Mr..
Hoge sshnancial standing, and he stated
frankly that much to his regret he had in
the past fallen short at this point. but said
under the blessings of God he did not
owe cent that he was not going to pay
just as soon as he could.
After hearing NIL these points dis
cussed, the deacons recommended unani
mously that a license lie voted, and the
church unanimously ratified the recon- :
mendation.

change has occurred, very unexpectedly
TO The board and to the young Indy .cho-
SEN lt seems that Miss Jones had made
conditional promise TO teach in the
same place she occupied last year, from
winch promise, however, she had the
pest reasons to consider herself released;
nut the board. to which she Ind given
the promise, insisted upon it SO strenu-
ously, and such unpleasant complica
lions seemed likely to arise, that the Sa-
lem board decided to fill Miss Jones'
place with another. 1t should be added,
however, that the Salem board exor or
ates Miss Jones from blame under the
circumstances and sympatEizes with her
IN her disappointment in not being able
TO come to Salem. Ali of the above has
happened within the last week or so. and
the board, owing to the shortness of time,
has been placed in an embarrassing posi-
ton. They have found worthy substi-
tute for Miss Jones, however, in the per-
son of Miss Lila London, of Roanoke, and
the board is under obligations to the
school boaid of Roanoke city foi giving
up Miss London, who was valuable
member of the excellent corps of teachers
OF our sister city. Miss London comes

BIG EXCURSION.
Perhaps the largest excursion that
ever left Roanoke was the one that
passed through yesterday enrou,e to Nor
folk from Keystone, w. Va. The excur-
sion was nearly two hours late when it
reached Roanoke, due to the heavy load
and large number of cars attached. There
were thirteen in all and they were well
filled. Owing to the large number that
went from here three more coaches were
attached, and shortly after o'clock with
two engines attached the long train pull
ell out of Roanoke. The train was run
under the auspices of the True Reform
ers, a'icolored Organization, although
there were nearly as many white people
as colored on the excursion.
