THE HORSE IN BATTLE, "A vet

months in service he knows every

working at the bit with his tongue

moves out he will either seek to

NEW YORK, Nov. 18.-The appraisers
who have taken twenty three days to de-
termine the value of certain articles Of
wearing apparel in the trunks of Commo-
dore Elbridge T. Gerry and his family
have reported to Collector Bidwel. They
recommend that Mr.. Gerry be required to
pay a duty of 81 600 in excess Of the
amount fixed by his declaration when he
arrived here on the White Star steamship
Teutonic, on October %.
This extra duty is based on the allega-
tion that articles were purchased abroad
which Mr.. Gerry declared and still insists
were bought in this country. Commodore
Gerry on his return here on the Teutonic
was accompanied by Mrs. Gerry, the two
Misses Gerry two man servants and two
maids. They brought twenty eight trunks
and yalises. Nine of these were passed by
the customs officials.
The commodore declared articles in the
other trunks, the duty on which was sl,500.
OF this amount he paid $500 on the pier,
and two more trunks, eleven in all, were
released But as there was a question
about the wearing apparel in the other
trunks, eighteen were sent to the apprais-
er's store. They contained delicate silks
and satins, which would have been injured
by being examined on the piers, as Deputy
Collector Phelps later explained. COmmo-
dore Gerry was not present when the ap-
praisers came to their decision, but friend
who represented him positively declared
the silks in question had all been puT-

who, with a companian Sydney Summers,

lieved to be Fleming, opened fire on them
at long range with a rife. Snyder fell
dead, shot through the head. Summers
fed and came to his home in Huntersyille,
suburb of Norfolk He returned later
and sought Snyders body.
Unconirmsd rumors are to the effect that
Fleming told him with oaths that the body
of his friend lay out in the field and re-
fused to aid him in placing it in the buggy
in which he wished to convey it home.
Fleming who, il is said, declared afterward
that he was shooting at hawks when Snyder
was killed, was arrested later and by Jus
tices Ferguson and Pritchetty, released on
$1,000 bail An inquest upon Snyder's re
mains was held yesterday by Justice Hawke
in Huntersville, but was not concluded.
Young Summers testimony at the inquest,
while not completed, strongly duplicates

Fleming's bond euraged the people and talk
of lynching arose. Great secrecy is OBJ
served by officials and others interested, but
apparently well-based reports state that
many men are passing out Of Norfolk

and timber land. will go out of ex-
istence, and the new corporation, which

The consolidation plan includes the
building Of an extension from Elkins to
the forks of the Greenbriar, meeting the
Chesapeake and Ohio, and thus affording
a short outlet to tidewater. This VIII

Alleged Offenders on Trial ia Kent
County. Maryland.
CHESTERTOWN. Nd. Nov. 1S.-A num-
Der of interesting election intimidation
cases are now on trial in Kent. Il is said
that many coIored voters have been kept
in line TO vote the Republican ticket by
overt acts or threats of violence made
against them by members of their own
race.
On last election night these threats as
sumed a serious phase. when the homes or
two coIored men who had voted the Demo
cratic ticket were attacked by a mob of
about twenty-five men and boys. The
houses were bombarded with stones and
one of them was forcibly entered and the
wife CT one Of the men painfully injured.
Some of the men were arrested several
days ago and turned States evidence.
They state that the men deliberately armed
themselves with pistols, bricks, ana ciuus
and went to the houses with the aYOWed
purpose of assailing the negro Democrats.
Another COlored man states that the col
ored people threatened to burn his house
over his head. and that his home was con
stantly guarded for some nights before
the election. The cases were commenced
on Wednesday. The hearings have been
postponed until Monday
The statements made by the prosecuted
Democrats and borne out by the gtOrIes
of the men who have turned States evil
dence disclose a startling condition of af-
fairs. Kent county has a total registered
coIored vote OF 1877. Ii is a notorious fact
that the streets of ChestertowG We're pa
lrolled prior to the election to restrain col
ored men from leaving the town should

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Nov. 1S.-With

at Reedy Island.
The Rhynland left Liverpool on Noyem-

although nothing was heard from her from
the time she left Liverpool until she was
spoken at the Breakwater, it was believed
that her delay was occasioned by the Sc

few weeks, and that she would reach port
safely.
After the Rhynland left Queenstown
rough weather, accompanied by a strong
northwest gale. set in and kept up for
eight days. None OF the cabin passengers
ventured on deck during this weather,
while down in the steerage the one hun

OF about thirty regiments which did ser

paid on a peace basis. The regiment was
mustered out on April Is, just five days
after peace had been declared. Acting
upon instructions from Washington, the
paymaster then stationed at Savannah,
paid the men on a peace basis. Unfortu-
nately for the regiment this order to pay
the men according to the peace basis was
issued just before they were mustered out
Several other organizations had been
mustered out before the 202d, and they
were paid on the war basis, which amount
ed to 20 per cent more than the 202d men
received. The officers of the regiment who
were not in the least affected by the
change, only learned that the men were
to be paid on the LESSEE basis on the dav

result the men were paid off and left for
