UlCiino.ND, Va. Dec. 3.?[Special]?
Mr. Thomas P. O'Connor, tho distin?
guished member of tho British Parlia?
ment who is visiting tho United States
with tho other Irish envoys, has prom- |
isod to oat Iiis Christmas dinner with Dr.
Thomas Nelson Page, tho cultured
author, of this city. Dr. Pago and Mr.
O'Connor aro both men of splendid liter?
ary attainments and aro warm personal
friends,
Mr. O'Connor is an editor anO ono of
tho most brilliant and incisivo writers
on tho London Press. Ho was the
founder and and part owner of tho Star,
which ho made one of London's greatest
dailies, tho circulation of which he
quickly built up from 100,000 to three
times as largo a number, lie recently
sold his interest in tho Star for ?15,000.
Tho Irish citizens of Richmond are
greatly interested in the proposed visit
to this city of some members of the
Irish delegation who are now inChicago.
They aro expected here tie' latter part
of the month, ami they will be tendered
a public ri coption under tho auspices of
Win. O'llrh n branch ?>f the Irish Nat?
ional League, and will probably be ban
quottcd.
Quito a good entertainment fund has
neon raised. The people of Richmond
have always been in sympathy with 1
home i-n 1 ? ? in Ireland, and the cause !
never Imd a more staunch advocate in I
tho United states than was Col. Rich?
ard F. 1? irne, for many years the ta?
lent' il i .iiLi r of the State.
Tho will of Hon. Henry K. F.llyson,
tho distinguished Baptist layman and
half owner of tho Dispatch, was admit?
ted to probate yesterday. The paper
was writt'-n entirely in the hand writing
of the dcocascd, and was characterized
by that terseness of expression and per?
fect fairness to all parties interested
that over marked his business transac?
tions.
He left, bis oldest son, IL Theodore,
who has for a number of years born
vioo-prcsident of the Dispatch Company,
200 shares of that Stock, and he will
perhaps f,ucc<?ed his father as business
managor. Ho has practically IIlied that
position during his father's illness.
Thft othor children are given 100 shares. ,
each.
Tho Dispatch is tnoro prosoerons now
than at any time in its history, and is a i
handBomo, paying property.
Tho fjrand lodge of Masons, of Vir?
ginia, meets hero next Wednesday.
The attendance will bo large. This has
linen an unusually prosperous year with
tho Manons, and their growth has been
great.
'.iomo siirpriso is expressed at the de?
lay in offering for probate the will of
Mr. Frank E. Patrick, tho provision
dealor who died in New York r< O'.ntly
from tumor of tho brain. His estate is
thought to be worth about ?5.r>,000, a
litt'o more than half of which, it Is
understood, will go tu his mother. His
wife, who hats been at Clifton, N. Y., for
several months, will get his Insurance
and some ether property amounting to
about 826,000.

M. Quad's "Lima Kiln Papers'' thrown
in for comedy effect, and was exceed?
ingly well rendered by tho Harry Lind
ley Company. Mr. Lindloy, as George
Washingto-ii Wuyback, and Little Mu
boll. as Gvaclo. divided tho honors and
