1t was rumored last week that
Fitzgibbons Brothers, the carriage
manufacturers, of Monroe, and who
were lately burned out, might be in
duced to transfer their business to
Mineral Point if sufficient encour-

the brothers was up here and was
interviewed by some of our people
ON the subject. Platteville Galena
and other towns We're also visited
and some steps taken in each toward
securing the prize. 1t seems, how
ever, that the matter has been settled
by the Fitzgibbons Bros. deciding to
remain at Monroe, and resume bGsi-

The funeral of Francis Rives Simpson,
who was killed by fall at his residence
in Baltimore, on Sunday morning. took
place this afternoon from Grace Episcopal
church. and was largely attended, not
withstanding the Indictment weather.
Ii is-probable that as soon as the neces-
sary permission can be obtained from the
Governor. the Petersburg Grays will be
reorganized for duty in the service of the
State. 1T is hoped this may be done.
There Is no military company in Peters
burg, and no organization TO be called
upon for service in the event OF an
emergency. And then. too. the long and
honorable and brilliant record of the
Grays as an organization. both in time of
war and peace. renders ii proper that the
sons of the men who made the company
famous should perpetuate the organiza-
ton.

BE a Candidate.


Hon. William \. Jones left for Now
York yesterday at noon; Senator Martin
is still in the city. and will remain, it is
understood, for some weeks.
There were no visible results of the
visit Of Mr. Jones 50 far as the senatorial
people to Specializing as TO the probability
Of the First District Congressman taking
the field in opposition TO Mr.. Martin. The
situation at present is sucn a public an
nouncemcnt of the candidacy of Mr.
Jones nor declaration from him that
he would not contest for the position
would be surprise. There is very
general opinion that his mind is not made
up The chances are, perhaps, that lie
will decide not 20 take up the gauntlet.
Governor Tyler Will not be candidate.
In conversation yesterday lie stated that
the object of his life now is TO discharge
in the very best manner of which he IS
capable the duties of the position of Gov
ernor. He has not time TO think OF aught
else.
Walton Moore. William a. Jones, and
A. j. Montague are the only names men
toned in opposition 10 the candidacy of
Senator Martin. The first-named will GER
tainly be in the field unless he abandons
his present position. The candidacy OF
either of the other two is more or less
doubtful.
Many friends. including several Of the
best-known political workers of Rich
mond, called on Senator Martin at Muir
phys yesterday and last night. a friend
of Senator Martins said last night that
the Senator's organization throughout the
State was wellnigh perfect.
