General Fitz Lee is i'm Richmond, and
having been interviewed, says, substantial
ly, that he is heartily in favor of the
nomination of United States senators by
primary elections. He added that, under
no circumstances. would he make any an
nouncement of his candidacy for the
Senate until after he had shaken the

General Lee further remarked that If.
even before such announcement, MS

there was no reason why they might not
do so. All of which means that General

CONFLICT OF AUTHORITY.

BOYDTON, VA. October 7.-(Special)-
There is an unfortunate conflict Of county
authority here. The accident on the At
lantic and Danville road here last Satur-
day, I'm which the little negro boy. Robert
Russell was killed and quartered, is the
casus belH. The killing was within a
mile of the corporate limits. and Mayor
j. w. Digger, who is ex-oficio a justice
of the peace within said limit. assumed
the jurisdiction and acted as Coroner.
Justice-of- thePeace Dan Jones had been
first on the field, and had taken the mi
tiatory steps Of holding the inquest, put
the Mayor was ahead of him in securing
the Constable and jury, and sat on the
case. Mr.. Jones considered himself ag-
grieved, and questions the jurisdiction OF
the Mayor The consequence Is that
Jones. acting upon advice, to-day sum-
moned another jury. eXhumed the re-
mains. and held another inquest, and VIII
test before the County Court the question

the woman VINO was hurt In the accident
under guard in house on his lot, ana
the lawyers who might wish TO see her,
with the intent Of bringing suit against
the road. are denied admission to her
presence. Eppes has also gotten GER
tificate from the woman and her HUSBAND
TO the effect that they VIII not DrlnS SUIT
and that they exonerate the road from
any blame. This brings conflict between
the physician and the bar, in which the
Doctor holds the advantage up TO date.
Considerable feeling is manifesting itselt,
and il must be detrimental TO all parties

A representative Of the Journal Of
Commerce has procured copies Of the cor
respondence that has passed between
the Woolson Spice Company and the
Wholesale Grocers' Association Com
pany. Of Ohio, and also copies of the
agreement that has been entered into
between the said Wholesale Grocers
Company and three embarrassing con-
cerns-namely, Arbuckle Brothers, of
New York city; the Dayton Spice-Mills
Company, of Dayton, o., and Candy, Ach
& Candy. also of Dayton, .. The Wool
son Spice Company takes the ground
that the agreement is a conspiracy, and
they will invoke the aid of the courts as
soon as they find the action Of the whole
sale grocers operating against them.
year ago the long" price of roasted
coffee was 1872 cents per pound, from
which a rebate of S12 cents per pound
was allowed, making the net price l6
cents to those VINO maintained prices
under the factor plan. As result of the
contest between the Woolson Spice Com
pany and the Arbuckles, reduction
was made on December nth last 10 Is
cents on the long price, making the
net price 14i5 cents, which reduction was
soon followed by the Arbuckles. Since that
date the Woolson people have been
gradually leading a decline until now the
long price is II cents, while the net price
Ohe rebate having been reduced to ~
cents is 91A cents. one year ago the
price of No. green coffee was 10 cents
leaving a difference from the net price
of roasted of cents per pound. Yes
terday the price of No. 7 green was
cents, leaving difference of only Pc
cents.
The Journal of Commerce says that
certain large jobbing houses in Ohio
were openly dividing the ~ cents per
they sold the coffee. The Wholesale
Grocers' Association Company requested
that sales Of coffee to such jobbers be
discontinued. The Woolson people de-
clined to discontinue them. taking the
ground that the jobbers in question were
only doing openly what other jobbers al
most generally are doing secretly
Thereupon, the Ohio Wholesale Grocers,
at a meeting held on September Sth in
Columbus, adopted resolutions autho-
rizing a committee to make contracts
providing for the payment to the Whole
sale Grocers Association Company of
the rebates, such rebates to be distributed
under the direction of the company's di-
rcctors. AS this would mean the practi-
cal exclusion of the jobbers who are
openly dividing their rebates the Wool
son people refused to enter into any
such contract, and the committee then
issued a circular virtually boycotting
the Wooson Company. The matter Is
likely to go into the courts with inte-
resting results.
