Washington, D. G., September I.
It is learned to-day that practically the Il
entire Marine Band will 60 to Richmond u
to furnish music on the occasion OF the i
Horse Show, October 12th.17th. There was Il
some hitch in the arrangements. or mis-
5understa nding, though the officials had Il
promised the management OF the show Y
that the bands services could be Oh
tained. It was feared that only very
few pieces would be sent. But Senator
Martin. who was I'M ! the city to-day on 4
business. interested himself in the matter.
and after q visit to General Haywood, ~
general commanding the Marine Corps.
and the Secretary OF the Navy, received
assurances that forty members OF the #
band, headed by Lieutenant Sautelman,a
the leader, would be at the show to make ii
music that has given the Marine Band 4
an international reputation, It Is not often
that such n large detachment of tAs band y
has left the city to furnish music on
special occa sion, y. N /. 2 5 Il 8
Robert g. southall y member of Com
gress from the Fourth Virginia District
Is here to-day oh business. He came to 4
meet Senator Martini and Mr.. Fritz 9t-$
terdng. president Of the Virginia Passen-8
ger and Power Company, OF Richmond X
and Petersburg. relative to deepening the 4
channel OF the Appomattox at point
near the Petersburg Iron Works. so q q i
to admit Of thespassage OLA vessel being
constructed at tho works for Mr.. Sitter
dng's company. Several other matters
also claimed the attention Of both the
Congressman and the Senator. The latter
will Join Mrs. Martin In Charlottesville
Tomorrow at the Horse Show.
It la understood that considerable ex-
element has been created along the
James River between Richmond and Nor
folk by the rumor that a negro mail
agent was to DO put aboard the steamer
Pocahontas instead OF a white man, who
vas to resign. Inquiry at the PostoHlca@
Department to-day ELECTED the IN forma.t
ton that the appointment Of negro8to$
the position is not contemplated The
chief objection to the appointment of8a
negro was that many of the Wharves are
owned by women. to whom being thrown 1
into contact with the negro agent would u
be very distasteful. There are many
negroes in the railway mall service, and !.
nothing is heard In the way OF protest
at their appointment /, Il s .is3s 81 @
