gineers in the house drainage work, ar
rived in the city yesterday. He has ar

floor of the city exchange, preparatory to
experimenting the work. which will prob
ably be commenced In few days, though
no definite time has yet been fixed.
Mr.. Chapman spoke of the death of Col.
George e. Waring. The unexpected de-
mise of this prominent man. he said is
generally deplored When Col. Warning
left the ship on which he returned TO New
York from Havana, he was suffering with
a cold, Il was thought, and for that rea-
son there was no effort on the part of the
quarantine officers to detain him. 1t was
moi until within six hours of his death,
Mr. Chapman stated, that Col Waring
had the black vomit. 1t was then known
there was no chance for his recovery.
His death will prove a great loss TO the
firm with which he was identified.

devote his time to looking after the city g
interests in the house drainage work.

man stated he thought the work had been
well executed, though there We're a few

CITY ORDERS,

The evident failure of pending
negotiations for the bonding of
the city for a sufficient sum to
pay the outstanding municipal
Indebtedness has dampened the
expectations of holders of city
orders, and has placed the fuc-
tuating value of city paper at a
lower notch than ever touched
heretofore.
This fact is to be deprecated
by every resident of the city, and
is a not an altogether pleasant
state of affairs to contemplate.
But we believe there is partial
remedy for the city's financial
ills, a remedy which might not
assist particularly in reducing
the Indebtedness but which we
believe would go far towards
eolstering up the price of city
orders. the passage of a resolu
ton by the common council au
thorizing and instructing the
city treasurer to accept of no or
ders in payment of fines, taxes
or from other sources, anu to
pay the outstanding orders in
notation in the order in which
they are registered.
Such a resolution would give
to the holders Of city orders an
assurance that any orders held
at this time would be paid within
eighteen months, which would
be infinitely better and more sat
isfactory than the present meth
cd, whereby first come is first
served and the devil or some 9th
er shylock drives nail into the
city's credit by catching the

VIRGINIA REPUBLICANs.-A dispatch
from Richmond says: Chairman Park
Agnew will probably call 8 meeting of
the republican State committee in a
few days to arrange for having congress
sional conventions called throughout
the State. The district committees
have authority in the matter, but the
advice of the State organization may
be desired as to the wisdom of making
nominations in certain districts.
Under the new plan of organization
adopted in the recent settlement of the
differences that had led to dual organi.
cations in the State, the congressional
committees are required to meet
not later than August Is, and to call
conventions within a month of that
time.
1t has been general understood that
Mr.. Otis H. Russell, formerly Collector
OF Internal Revenue and postmaster,
would be the candidate in this district,
but it is said now that Gen. Edgar Allan
may enter the field. The same in.
i1uences that kept Russell from being
appointed postmaster may deny him
the nomination.

An INTERESTING Casa very in

renton this week-the Commonwealth
against Arthur Nelson, for o~bstructing
the railroad near Catlett's by riding a
horse owe the trestle bridge there.
The jury failed to agree and a new
trial was set for Tuesday next. If
Nelson had gotten off, his employer,
Mr.. Louis Mccoy, was going to sue the
railroad for $4,000. The facts of the
case are said to be these: In March
Nelson, who was q groom and trainer
for Mccoy, rode a horse, worth $780,,
over a railway bridge near MIR. Nc
Coy's place. Nelson claims that he
could not prevent the horse from run.
ming on the bridge; hat he was a thor
oughly unruly beast. Witnesses on
the other side say that they heard Mel.
son boast that he had conquered the
horse, and could make him do anything
he liked, even to crossing the bridge;
that he forced the horse on the bridge
by cruel flashing, in the face of the fact
that it was train time, aud that tho
horse fell through and was caught, and
Nelson jumped off, saving himself with
ease.
