The summer IS ended and back 20 their
Iabors to-day most OF the pastors OF our
churches have returned.
no set of men in any community are
more entitled TO the cordial fellowship
and general esteem of all the people than
the pastors. who I'm season and out by
their daily walk and conversation labor
for the spiritual welfare and material
advancement of an the people.
The city of Richmond has a right to be
proud Of the minister's who at this time
are serving in the churches here. The
good feeling that pervades their associa-
lion with each other. OF every denomi-
nation. has impressed the community
with their earnest cooperation in al
matters Of public welfare, and their voice
when raised ON civil questions has an
additional weight from this very fact.
They are bound very nearly to tho peo-
pie by ties that reach from the christon-
ing to the doathbed and as great as are
their responsibilities and as arduous as
their labors we feel a pride in saying
they have the confidence and enjoy the
grateful esteem eff our people.
We welcome them back 10 their
charges. with wishes OF rich rewards for
their work.

For Highway Robbery

Wilson Williams and Bud Oliver, both colored, were tried together, charged with highway robbery on Marie Le Grand and Grace Porter, white, on Wednesday even ing last. The young women picked out Oliver as most resembling their assaiant. Oliver gave very unsatisfactory account of himself at the time of the. robbery, claiming that he was"en negligee' at the time in the room of Sarah Cummins, which was very close to the scene. Sarah, who also claimed to have been in state of "dishabille" at the time, failed to help her friend out of his difficulty by her testimony. Sarah wore a military sombrero with the crossed rifles of the Third Alabama" at tached. The judge turned Williams loose but bound Oliver over to the grand jury with a $500 bond. In the. afternoon Oliver had the honor of being handcuffed to Will Goson as the two were taken from the city to the county jail.

Hit Him With Baby Buggy

The trial of Joe Mitchell and Jim Bryson charged with snatching a watch out of Judge Wells pocket in negro barroom in Morris avenue last Monday, consumed sev- eral hours yesterday and was continued un- til next Tuesday. Some of the witnesses swore that Bryson hit Wells in the eye and the same time Mitchell snatched the watch Two women were sworn, however, who testified that Wells got into fuss with an unknown woman in the bar, and she ''lambed him over the head with doll baby buggy" At the same time she sBatched his watch. The blushing witnesses then told how the unknown woman had deftly concealed the pretty little watch in that safety of safeties, her stocking
 This conflicting testimony began to get very confusing, and as the hour was grow ins late the case was postponed and in the meantime diligent search will be made for the woman who is said to have figured so prominently in the affair.

BEEF CONTROVERSY.
War Department Determined to Get the
 Facts in the Case.

Washington, December SO-As a result of the issue between General Miles and Gener- al Eagan concerning the quality of the beef supplied the army and on the written re- quest of General Eagan, the war depart ment tonight issued a special order for the assembling of a board of officers in Wash ington on next Tuesday to inquire into the general subject of the quality of the beef supplied, and particularly as to the respon- sibility for the loss of 3O0,00O pounds of re- frigerator beef sent to Porto Rico when the expedition under General Miles was there
 The 1000 pounds of beef referred to was shipped from Newport News to Porto Rico about the time that word came from Gen -snRi Miles>that he had supplied himself with fresh beef, taken on the island. The refrigerated beef made the trip to Porto Rico and back but by the time it reached Montauk Point it spoiled owing to the de- lay and lack of refrigerating material
 General Eagan today received from Lieu tenant-Colonel Smith, the commissary off, cer, volumnous report made by Armour of the timed beef. The report was in re sponse to specific interrogatories from Gen. eral Eagan and is clear exposition of the methods used by the firm for a period of about thirty years in packing meats in cans. In brief, the report shows that the canned food products of the firm have been sold throughout the world, and that during the entire period mentioned. no objection has been raised to their use by consumers, nor have there been any detrimental results following their consumption.

FiIipinoS Deny His Statement Re-
 garding AguinaIdo.
APPEAL TO UNITED STATES
To Send an Impartial Commissioner to the Archipelago, Who Will Act Honestly and Justly With
 Natives in His Report.

Hong Kong, December SO-The Filipino junta here has replied to the report of Commissioner Harden, who was sent to the Philippines by the government of the Unit ed States to report upon the conditions there The junta asked the Associated Press to publish the following as revealing the true situation and sentiment in the Philippines:
 We deny that Agunaldo will be satisfied if made a major-general in command of five native regiments and that if this is done the native army could be disarmed and disbanded
 "We repeat our appeal for an impartial inquiry by an able commissioner and inn plore the American people to refrain from a nasty decision. The Filipino government views with alarm Commissioner Harden's proposal to impose in America a high pro- tective tariff against Philippine products.
 "Iloilo surrendered to the national army, which is the completion of the occupation of the island of Panay. There is no truth in the reported establishment of an op- posing republic in the Viscayas.
 ''The Filipinos are yearning for a peace ful settlement of all questions. To their brothers across the sea the Fiipinos send greeting and earnest prayer that with the new year will come the day when the new era of peace, prosperity and good fellowship with the free and beneficient people of the United States. Though but an infant among nations yet are we strong if assured of the good will of the great American na- tion,"

Had His Fighting Clothes On

The most amusing case before Judge Fea- gin yesterday was that of Lem Nicely, col ored charged with whipping his mother-in- Ia W and wife and causing family row in general.
 Edith Belton, who, according to the testi-
 mony, is one of the mothers-in-laws you
 read about in the comic papers, still con-
 siders that the maternal prerogative Of whipping her daughter, although she is grown and married is still in force, and she s..ll continues to exercise it. Edith, II
 seems, lives in the adjoining room to her
 daughter Eveline, and her son-in-law, Lem,
 and, living so close, necessarily saw every thing that went on in her childrens room. She didn't like the way her daughter poured the tea-leaves out of the pot, and, thinking that corporal punishment was needed, proceeded to chastise her offspring. Eveline didn't like such treatment, so woke her spouse up and told him of the affair This was all the opportunity which the long-suffering husband had been waiting for so he 'lit into' the old lady with vengeance. He hit her with chair and fired number of cooking utensils at her. Having run out of ammunition, ne went into an adjoining room and loaded his pocket with tea-cups preparatory to re- newing the battle, when the daughters feelings changed and she turned in defense of her mother But Lemuel had gone too far and his feelings were too highly in-
 censed to stop, so he proceeded to thrash both his wife and mother-in-law.
 As a result, Officers Hamilton and Arm

 yesterday Judge Feagin fined each of them
 $1O The judge gave Lem some of the prac- tical household advice for which he is noted, telling him to beware of his mother-in-law, and get her home in distant part or
 the city, even if he had to pay Ter rent.
 This affray has a sequel which was even
 more serious in it's results than the original. The mother-in-law has a son named Robert
 Belton,, who was highly incensed at the reinstatement his mother-in-law had re- ceived, so he started out with a gun to do up his brother-in-law. He fired on the lat ter at sight but instead of hitting him, struck an inocent boy, Eugene Holland, who happened to be standing in the bullets range. Belton is now in jail waiting the outcome of the boys serious injuries.

The prosecutrix alleged that while weighing the ring which she wanted ex- changed, he changed the figures on the tag from g to $1, in order to make her pay extra for the new ring. She accused him
 of it to his face, and then she says, he told her that she was ''an untruthful lady, Later on in the dispute, Lohinsohn is said to have said q suppose your husband drug you in here by the ears,'' and as a farewell shot at her when she left the store, that
