On the Inauguration day which first

len of the United States his daughter

on the platform from which her father
delivered his inaugural address. In the
crowd which viewed the impressive
ceremony was Henry Kyd Douglass, an
eN-confederate general. then and still

man i'm the South" 1t the Inaugural
ton ball that evening the handsome
and courtly Southerner first spoke to
the charming little daughter of the man
again whom he a fought so well. Then
and there he fell in love with Nellie
Grant and vowed fealty To her. The vow
has been well kept by all accounts. for
IL is now persistently declared by per-
sons who ought to know" that General
Douglass and Mrs. Nellie Grant Sar-
toris are soon to be married. The fam
lily of Mrs. Sartoris declare that the
report is without foundation, but as this
has come to be almost a ~pre-nuptial
form no great amount of reliance is
placed in the disclaimer. While the

hero of AppomattoN always had fears
that his beloved daughters happiness
was being intrusted To unsafe Keeping

nounced their goods through the col

results are obtained by those merchants

Threatened Strike.

From present indications there will be
strike on in the New River and Ka-
nawha coal regions of West Virginia
before Christmas. In these districts all
of the coal brought to Newport News
for shipment is mined. The miners are
indignant over The action of the opera
tors in importing miners to take their
places. A meeting has been called by
the State president of the United Mine
Workers, TO be held at Montgomery to
day. At this meeting the miners will
pass resolution. giving the operators
their choice of sending back the negroes
to Virginia., or having a strike on their
hands. The perators on the other hand
are as fully determined as the miners
and declare that it is their right and
privilege to bring in negro miners ii
they choose, and they will not be die
tated to.
The mines nave been running full
time, with plenty of orders, and a strike
at this season is greatly to be regretted
There is a prospect of there being some
blood shed before the matter is ad lust
ed, for the miners are ugly, and deter
mined that when the Strike is declared
no one shall work. The Governor has
been asked to have a company of mill.

BOND B, PROPOSITION
Will Probably be Voted On in
January Next.
NECESSITY FOR HASTE.
Hoped to Have tho Work Well Under WA,
by Spring. Seems Certain That the
Issue VIII Garry. Some of
the Features.

Vhe question of voting 900 issue
Of bonds for city improvements has
aroused i great deal of interest, and
when the subject comes to vote, there
will probably be larger representation
at the polls than some people seem to
think.
This is the amount now remaining of
the total amount permitted by the Leg
islature and it is proposed to divide
it up. so as to give $4,000 for paving.
$780, 900 for a market house, and $4,000
Tor a crematOry.
The ordnance committee in reporting
the matter to the council. set the date
OF the election as late as May, but it is
extremely probable that it will be held
in January, and if the bonds are voted,
the work of paving will be under way
by spring, and finished before late fall
The necessity for rushing the work is
recognized by all the members of the
city council, and when it comes to a
vote. there will be no opposition to
setting the election for the earliest dat
possible thus leaving ample time to ad-
vertise for bids, let contracts, and ar
range all preliminaries.
The obvious Importance of paving the
Streets and the fact that such action
will very materially enhance values on
those thoroughfares that are to be
paved, is SO generally recognized by all
classes that there seems at this time
very little doubt Of the result of the
election 1t has been suggested, how
ever. that one very good reason for
holding it in the middle Of winter is
that tlle people are more apt to vote
for str Get improvements while the
streets are muddy. than they are in the
spring weather, when the mud has all
dried up 1t is also argued that the ex-
perience of this present winter has
proven g. very valuable lesson to those
formerly opposed to paving. Enough
money is spent annually for shoe shines
and other consequences OF muddy
streets almost to pay the interest on the
bonds.
The establishing of a crematory is
urged as a health measure as well as q
convenience, and the proposition is al
most as popular as the. street paving
Fan. Among the ladies, especially, the
market house is considered equally de-
sirable, and if the fair sex were given
a vote, they would without doubt give
the measure their unanimous support
In-as-much as the ladies will not be
permitted to vote in this election there
is hardly a doubt that the gentlemen
VIII come calamity to the rescue. OF
course there are business reasons that
Will at once occur to business men, out
side of the consideration of the conven-
fence of their wives and hostesses.
