For the Reveille
Mr.. Alfred r. Iugraham, son Of the
Revolutionary veteran mentioned in
the Reveille Of Sept 4th, came from
Philadelphia 10 the thirties, as repre-
sentative Of northern stockholders in
the matter Of settling up the affairs Of
the Grand Gulf Bank. Deciding to re-
main here permanently, he became own
er Of a large plantation near Willow
Springs, and there he made his home
until after the close Of the civil war,
when he removed TO New Orleans. He
died there At a great age, not very many
years ago.
Notwithstanding his northern birth
and education, he was thoroughly in
sympathy with public opinion he re.
This was also the case, aud in a still
more marked degree, with his wife,
who, though sister Of General Meade
Of the Federal army, was intense in her
devotion TO the Confederacy.
No descendants of theirs are now liv.
ing IN Claiborne county. One daughter
vas married in ante bellum days to Dr.
R. r. Maury, Of Port Gibson, who after
wards removed to the far west. Auoth
er daughter became the wife Of Dr
Rowan Of Red Lick, Jefferson county
and after his death she was married Il
Dir. Brunsou, aud removed to some
other part OF the state. There we're al
so one or two sons, but il is not remem
bered whether they survived the war.

"Sacretary of Moeting-'
The Commission and its Work.

d III -tSSoIIdICd L =
Washington, d c., Oct. 1.-THE great
est satisfaction is expressed here in Of
fetal circles over The success of the ne
gotiations for the settlement of the coal
strike. The President himself feels
deeply grateful for the outcome. He re-
CARDS it as honorable to both sides. as
securing Justice to both sides, and above
ell as averting a terrible calamity to
the people.
1t Is understood that for some time
past the President has had steadily in
view the fact that the only way a set
Element could be arrived at was on the
basis of a commission of arbitration, and
that he has given much time and earn
est thought TO the personnel of such q
commission. Suggestions have been vel
coined from all interested and nOn-inter-
eSted sources, and when Mr.. Mitchell
made his appearance at the White House
yesterday morning the President was
| prepared to submit to hin a number OF
names which he believed could not be
fairly objected to. He found the leader
Of the strikers disposed to accept with
! out question several of the men sug
geSted by the President, but he was in
siStcnt that organized la bOr be distinctly
recognized and in this view he was hear
tily supported by the President himself.
1t is understood that Bishop Spalding, OF
Peoria, was the Presidents personal
choice for a place on the commission and
his selection was particularly pleasing to
Mr.. Mitchell as he knew the Bishop in
timately. and has the utmost confidence
in his ability and observation-disclosures. The
appointment OF E. Z. Clark was UNI
doubtedly at the suggestion of Mr..
NaitohA1l h5poCn1f Ar C1ark WhnCo
home is in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, is the
Grand Chief Conductor Of the Railway
Conductors and has the reputation OF
being a man of unQuestiOned ability and
integrity. Six years ago Mr.. Clark serv-
ed as one of the arbitratOrs in a contro-
| Versy between the Grand Trunk Railway
and some of it's employees and is said
TO hay acquitted himself in a way most
satisfactory to all interests concerned.
Mr.. Clark is at present the chairman OF
the Railway Employees Federation. The
statement is made on high authority that
as constituted the personnel of the COM
| mission is eminently satisfactory both
to the operators and to the labor lead
crS.
The work of the commission will be
exhaustive and will take considerable
tine. 1t is the Presidents desire that
the inquiry be very thorough and that
the commission perform the labors set
before it so completely as to secure not
only a final adjustment of the present
troubles but also to furnish a basis upon
which similar great labor troubles may
be aVerted in the future. It's first step
| Will be to organize and select a chairman
