of United States Congressmen w> re
about to embark for Cuba on the yaoht

Itepi-iisentaitive iWHliaim A. Smith, i.M.r.
II. .1. Brow n and Miss Valish.
When approached by the Daily Press
correspondent yesterday, Congressman
William A. .Smith did not attempt to
conceiaj the fact than tihe trip would be
undertaken, and spoke of the expedi?
tion very willingly.
"Yes, we are going to Havana as
he said. The trip i,-: made to satisfy
the individual curiosity of the member's
of the puny, Mr. Smith explained, and
they will not act in their official capac?
ities while in Cuba. The expenses .jf
fitting up the staunch liittle yacht An?
ita is being borne 'by the millionaire
proprietor of the New York Journal.Mr.
W. P.. Hearst, and it is a; his request,
as weil ;is to gratify their ,,\vu curi?
osity, tihlat the party was organized for
the trip. ?'
Y-tv members of the party arrived at
Old Point late Tuesday night by tine
Washington special amd rpgistertcd at
the Ohaimlberlin. Ytesterday they vis
?te l Fort Monroe, where tlhey spent
four hours in compainy with CV>lon?il
Franlt. who showed them itfoirougih the
fort in person. All of the defenses
were inspected with great interest 'by
the visitor.-.
The party expects to sa.il immediately
\i|)"ii 'the completion of the work of
making the Anita, ready for the voy?
age.
Congressman Smith was not incliu'e.l,
to discuss the [Ma:ine disaster, hut" i\
was elicited that he is a. believer in
the recognition of the belligerency of
the Cubuu insurgents.
LATER?The Anita sailed fo.r Ha?
vana tonight at 11 o'eh.ek with the dis?
tinguished pairty aboard.
THE NKW EUBCTORAL BOARD.
Change in the Names Recommended a
Subject of Comment.
The appointment by tire Legislature
on Tue,-.lay of the electoral board for
Fjllzuibeth City county confirmed the
report that was mentioned tn the Daily
Press several days ago to tihe effect
thail an effort was being made to sub?
stitute ttiv name of Mr. E. M. Tennis
for thvtt of iMr. George A. -Schmelz, who
was recommended by the county exec?
utive eommittee. as one of the members
oif the b.ard. ?
The Iboi.urd Us named comslsts of
Messrs. 'Segar Whiting, T. H. Parra
m ire and E. M. Tennis, the two former
gentlemen having been recommended,
along with Mr. Schmelz, by the county
ox e cut i v e c.i > m m it Kse.
Mr. E. E. Montague, uho floater dele?
gate from this legtetatlve district, was.
f,ii- some reason, opposed to the ap?
pointment of Mr. Schmelz as a imemb^r
at tihe leard, and at his instance the
name of Mr. T. nnis was smlbstltuted
?for that of .Mr. Sch.melz. A member of
the district! committee. w.ho went to
Richimond to investigate the truth of
the report that the change in the rec?
ommendations of the executive com?
mittee would 'be made, learned from
Mr Montague that tihe'rumor was Well
founded. Mr. iMontague stated as his
ireason for taking this position that he
desired to eliminate the ill .feeling that
was aro'US>ed in the party during tihe
last campaign, and restore entire har?
mony and unity.
I Among the hardest workers for the
election of Mir. 'Montague was Mr.
Schmelz, 'and the unexpected -develop?
ment in the electoral board matter was
the subject yesterday of considerable
comment. , ,
The change In the electoral board
throws tue balance of power in the
hands of those who opposed Mr. Mon?
tague's nomination, and bis action is
iregardied in some quarters as a viola?
tion of his obligations to those -who
fought 'for him wihen he most needed
supporters.
THE EDWARDS 'CASE.
A C arney M. T. Hughes Appeals FV*r a j
"Writ of Error.
On Tuesday Aittorney M. T. Hughes
pr.-s- nt'i d to Judge .1. G. Blacksume,
of the 'Circuit Court, the petition of T.
T. 'Edwards, for a writ, of error from
the judgment of the County Court
ivn Ivied against him in. January, by
wihich he was sentenced to serve it wo
years and six months In the peniten?
tiary.
The petition is albly drawn, and re?
cites three 'reasons for the granting of
the writ. The fin-t ground assigned in
the petition Is set forth in the first bill
of exceptions, claiming that the Coun?
ty Court was in error in' granting Live
first, second, third, -fourth, fifth, sev?
enth, eighth and ninth instructions to
the jury, a skied 'for by the Comimon
wealth. Num<irm?s cases aire cited in
the petition to sustain the claim of er
r-. IT.
The second reason for the issuance of
a writ of error ii3 set forth in bill of
exceptions No 2, and reference is made
bo the certified copy of the evidence
ami the law governing the case.
The other cans.- f.-r the applicant ion
for the w rit Is that the court erred in
of, nruling the motion to arrest judge?
ment for errors alppeis ring on the face
of the record, in which case tihere is no
necessity f.-r a bill of exceptions. The
'first error in the rveord is its failure
?t.? show affirmatively, as required by
law. tha't the prisoner was arraigned.
That the record dn?es not show that the
jury was summoned by proper author?
ity is the second error complained of,
and the .last Haw is uhe fact that tiiie
record omits to state that tihe same
jury found the verdict against the prla
N NEW 8
oner that whs sworn to trv- his case

nil decide whether ur not to issue a
writ of error during vacation
An unusually largo array of legal tal
ent was present ut the Warwick Circuit
?ourt on Tuesday to welcome the Judge
upon the occasion of his entering on
Ms duties. Attorneys [Hughes aind So?
gar, and Mr. Joihn Weymonth. of
Hampton; Attorneys ?ickford, Lett
N* 1ms. Wiileox, Serranes and Ol?irk,and
I\>Iice Justice Brown, of Newport
'News, were aimoing those in attendance.
It is protoaible that the norm of the
Circuit 'Court of Elizabeth city county
will lie changed after the first of July
to the Last on ithe list. The docket is
larger at present than it has been for
many yeairs, and Oho change will give
the county a longer term than the oth?
er courts of Judge Btackstone's circuit.
It will probably be necessary to bold
special terms of courl in. order to clear
up tlio ,bM-ket. and thus Judge Black
stone declaired bis intention.
! System and Street Improve?
ments Not to He Had Now.
News reached here late vest ;rdty af?
ternoon t'r-.m Richmond that th ? pro?
posed bond issue had "been kil'-O.
Some time ago a bill was introduced
in the State Senate to amend the
Hampton ehsiirtor in order to issue
'.. iids to the amount ,,f itOO.000 to pave
the its and put in a sewerage sys?
tem.
Th-' bill came up and was referred to
the committee on counties, cities and
towns. This committee reported unfa?
vorably.
The bill in an almended form was
again sent to Richmond and in the new
shape it passed bosh House and Senate.
Attorney Francis F. Causey, who had
fought th<- bill from the first, immedi?
ately went to the State cap Hoi and ft
nially succeeded in getting the Senate
p. re consider the bill.
The Senate adjourned yesterday af?
ternoon and Che bill to amend the char?
ter had not ibee-n presented to it.
course no action can now be- taken to
Wave the bill pushed through.
FEMALE DOCTOR Fl NET).
An interesting case was tried last
night by Justice J. W*. Richardson, in
which the medical .profession of Hamp?
ton was concerned.
Dr. W. E. Atkins (colored), brought
charges agaln's'l .Maitie Colemain, (col?
or,-,1). of Norfolk, for practicing wi'th
,'Uf a license.
The woman it* what is known in col?
ored circles as a "conjure doctor," and
'..'il ben giving various and sundry
pills for bruin trouble, which arc not
calculated to add very greatly to the
mental faculties of even a lunatic.
The evidence was all against the fe?
male doctor, and justice Richardson
fined her $30 and costs.
A compromise was agreed 'to. how?
ever, by which 'Dr. Atkins paid the
costs, with t.he understanding that the
w, man would leave town tfiis morning
on the 6:30 boat tor Norfolk.
DAUGHTER'S OF CONFEDERACY.
The Daughters of the Confederacy
held a meeting at the residence "f Mrs.
Baker 1". Lee yesterday afternoon. It
was decided to add a new feature to the

A donation was sent to the Jeffers

Richmond by the 'members,
AN OBSTREPEROUS SAILOR.
Andrew Jeffries, la sailor, was arres?
ted yesterday morning on the charge

cided that it would be highly Improper
for him to be placed ii\ .the lock-up and
?tried to forcibly impress the officers in
charge of lilm with the some ideja
Th- officers were of the opinion, 'how?
ever, that the sailor wai- wanted in?

At 1 o'clock. Jeitrtes was tried ibefore
Mayor Ho.pt- and .plead guilty .to the
charge. The mayor fined 'him $2 and
