The session of the Grand Camp of
Confederate Veterans, of Virginia, began
at Wytheville today. The history COM
mittee, of which Judge George l..
Christian, of Richmond, is chairman,
has a most important report to make,
that, it is understood, will include a
comparison between the treatment of
northern soldiers in Confederate prisons
with southern soldiers in federal prisons.
1t was opened with prayer; then the
Mayor of Wytheville made a speech of
welcome to all the sponsors, veterans,
and sons of veterans, and to this re-
Spouse was made by one of the visiting
delegates. After this a member of the

Grams particularly, and one of the latter
responded to his speech. With the ap-
pointment of the committee on creden-
tails and other committees the meeting
adjourned.

MARTIN AND LEE.-Much has been
printed recently about the prominent
democrats, and especially about the
rivals and former rivals for the Virginia
senatorship, who attended the Horse
Show last week. One of the stories was
to the effect that General Fitzhugh Lee
and Senator Thomas S. Martin, the two
candidates for the Senats in 1894, had
met and shaken hands cordially and TO
that extent effected a reconciliation.
From friends of the two gentlemen
named the only foundation for this story
is the mere exchange of polite greetings
between the TWO, when they passed each
other one evening at the show. At that
time, it is said, Senator Martin merely
bowed and said: "Gcod evening,
General" and General Lee courteously
acknowledged the salutation with bow
and the response. "How are you,
SENATOR" There was no handwriting,
and no further conversation. 4 Richmond

SOME SAY Diogenes took his lamp and
went through the market of Athens to
find man; others aver he was looking
for an honest man. If he had lived in
our times he might have found the object
of his search in the person of nineteen
year-old youth named Joseph Habeck,
of Columbia, Pa, who, we are told,
drowned himself in the Susquehanna
river because he was unable to pay a
debt Of seven dollars.

KILLED BY HIS BIoTHER.-News
from Newport, Tenn, is to the effect
that Wick McGaha, nineteen years of
age, has been shot and killed by his
brother, Bob McGaha, aged twelve.
The body of the dead youth was found at
what is known as "Dead Line" the
boundary point between Tennessee and
North Carolina. The brothers had been
the best of friends up to two days ago,
when they disagreed about some trihing
piece of work The report is that when
Wick took his rifle and started for the
mountains saying he was after some tar
get practice, Bob said he would go too.
They left home in quarrelsome mood
and when neither returned search was
made. Wick was found with his rifle
empty beside him and fifty feet away the
gun of Bob was leaning against tree,
but he was missing and has not been To-
Gated. The place where the brothers
fought is the spot where Sheriff Joe
Dawson was assassinated year ago.

Of the United States, but the constant
dread of annexation deters them.

Two STEAMERS have arrived in New
York with anthracite coal from England.
The Pennsylvania miners may probably
be suffering from hallucination similar
to that which was epidemic in the
southern States in 1S60-lS6l-that
cotton was king. 1t was demonstrated
in a short time that cotton grown in
Egypt was as good as that produced
in the southern States. 1t will doubt
less be proven that coal is not king as
was the case with cotton.
