Governor Tyler, commander in chief
of the Virginia troops. through Adju-
tant-General Male, has just issued an
order which will be of the greatest in
terest to military men all over the
State. and particularly to those III
Richmond and Norfolk
The order provides for the formation
of two regiments of twelve companies
each. They are to be known as the
Seventy and Seventy first Regiments.
The line officers of the seventeen will
meet in Richmond on October 10th to
elect field officers. Line officers OF the
seventy-first will assemble in Norfolk
on the same date for II similar purpose.
The reason for giving the regiments
higher numbers is to prevent the con-
rounding of the history of regiments
There have been several regiments of
the same numbers in Virginia. OFTEN
1t has happened that in referring to
the first regiment, one would not know
whether the writer meant the organi-
cation that did such gallant service In
the civil war or the one that after
wards existed
1t was ascertained that Virginia had
ut least SiXty-four infantry regiments
in the civil war. There were possibly
TWO or three others. So it was decided
~ SS6Hi tHss WITH the
number seventy.
Indiana and other States follow this
plan. Indiana regiments are numbered
as nigh as III. This means simply that
during the history of that State there
have existed III regiments.
The SEVENTEEN Regiment will be
composed of companies as follows:
Richmond, five; Alexandria. one; Char
lottesville. one; fredericksburg. one;
Lynchburg. one; Danville. one; Staun-
ton, one; Farmville. one.
The five companies from Richmond
do not include the two companies OF
Blues. which Will form separate bat
talon, as now.
The Seventy-first Regiment will com
prise the following companies Nor
folk. three; Portsmouth, two; Newport
News. two; Hampton onee Smithneld.
one: Franklin. one; Suffolk, one: EN-
poria. one.
<AIl other military companies in the
State arc left detached from regiments
for the present. Each regiment will
elect n colonel and Il lieutenant-c colonel.
and each of the three battalions in
each regiment will have major.

THE TRUTH OF A CHARGE MADE

Portage. Wis. Oct. S.--william j..
Bryan's attention was to-day called to
the statement, alleged to have been
made by Mr.. Ilingman. that he re-
ce.ved sl50,000 for insisting upon the
silver plank of the Kansas City plat
form. and he said:
1T is hardly worth while to deny the
charge of n man who hides behind a
woman. whose name he will not give.
but in order that the most unscrupu-
lous Republican may have no reason
for repeating the charge, / will say that
it is absolutely false in every partiou-
lar. No one ever offered. promised or
gave me that sum or any other sum for
urging that plank or any other plank
in the Kansas City platform or any
other platform. l don't know anything
of Mr. Kingman. but 1t is said that he
is cousin of Senator Cullom, ard do
know something of Senator Cullom.
The Senator ought to know whether
his cousin is trustworthy or not and
IL the Senator Will state over his own
signature that he believes what his
cousin says. and is willing to represent
him in an investigation of the charge.
will make him a proposition which
Will give him an opportunity TO pro-
duce his evidence."

Richmond, Oct. 3.-The most interest
ing feature of the meeting at which
Senator David Is. Hill spoke last night
was the great ovation accorded Hon.
a. j. Montague. The Attorney General
is a modest gentleman and never
makes himself conspicuous, but last
night he could not escape the notice
of the assembled thousands.
He came in quietly and took seat
in the fourth row CT the seats reserved
on the stage. but one of his admirers
saw him, and proposed three cheers
for Jack Montague in ringing tones.
They were given with Il will, every
body joining in. Mr.. Montague bowed
his acknowledgements, but the people
were not satisfied. They wanted a
speech. but the Attorney General con-
tented himself by bowling.
Senator H!ll. also. received much APP
plause, but Mr. Montague undoubtedly
carried off the lions share. This spon-
taneous outburst serves to show how
much he has endeared himself to the
people of this community during his
comparatively brief residence here by
his unvarying courtesy, manly bearing,
and answering devotion to the cause
of Democracy.
SIGNIFICANT UTTERANCES.
Among the shouts OF applause which
greeted him last night were such sig
niiicant sentences as:
We'll elect YOU Governor" Go in
and win, no matter If the machine is
against you; tile people are for you.
and others of like character.

New York, Oct. 3.-The suit brought
by Anna NJ. Havemyer, nee Anna NJ.
Wright, who says she is the widow of
the late Thomas j. Havemyer, the
sugar king, to recover the amount of
her dover right in his estate, was
called to-day, and q motion was made
by her counsel to have the case placed
OH the preferred calendar before JUS
tice McAdam and a jury. The motion
was denied by Justice McAdam on
technical grounds, with leave to renew.
The plaintiff claims her acquaintance
with Mr.. Havemyer began when both
were children, and that after he finish
ed his education in Germany they en-
tered into common law marriage in
1854. and that while he was known to
his friends as bachelor, he supported
her and kept up her home.
In opposition to the motion to hasten
the trial of the action, counsel for the
defendants filed an affidavit made by
Henry o. Havemyer, in which he stated
that for many years before the death
of his brother he was aware of the re-
latons existing between him and the
plaintiff. She never until after his
death claimed to be his wife.
