AJvIhcU to Matn-rof Grading llnu.pron Avenue. <>r<Hn?neo ?u.l Kr. coiuuiendKtiont.. B ? ?_ The City Counc il meets tonighi in reff- I ulnr session. The meeting will ho Vn ! important on,, ehiellv because of the ' fact that there will'be additional rtis-i cussion of the sewer question and Con? sulting- Engineer Potter's connection ! therewith. What action will he taken I cannot be foreiold. as that gentleman | will have to be heard from and his statement of the case is likelv to go some distance in affecting Ihe 'consid? erations or the council. Nothing new seems to have developed in connection with the sewer question. Mr. Potter has not notified the mayor that he would be present, but this was not expected, as he had previously said ft:'4 any time he was wanted here he ? aid he bad upon twenty-four hours' notice. Mr. Honan was in to see His Honor, the mayor yesterday. The contractor was a little puzzled because of the con? flicting directions he had received. He had a letter from Mr. Potter dated No? vember S. telling him to put in the aux? iliary sewerage on Thirty-fourth street, and on0 from the council directing him not to do it. He was told that Mr. Pot? ter would be in the city tonight to at? tend the council meeting, and that it would probably be best to wait until that gentleman arrived before taking any further steps in the matter. He could hav,. a consultation with that gentleman then ami the business would be definitely settled. It is anticipated that Mr. Potter will comply readily with tile city's order not to do the work, and it appears certain that the city will not recede from its position.? The city fathers will also have before them the consideration of several ordi? nances ami recommendations that have j been recently submitted and will proh aljly conic up tonight tor final action. The session is likely to be a long one. An effort is being made to have I Hampton avenue graded in Hie early j future. At present this thoroughfare is'j notbinc more titan a inud and waler ditce> and as there is considerable build ingi activity in that section, the street department has decided to recommend that the street be graded at once. This matter will also come up this ev? ening and in all probability will be fa? vorably acted upon. POLICE COl'RT.

It is reported that "early Sundny morning. not long after midnight, who ?was somewhat inebriated, was sand? bagged on Twenty-sixth street, between Lafayette and Washington avenues, by two white men. He aroused some of the residents of that section with his cries for help and the men who assaulted him. after taking a small sum from his person, disappeared. Some one went to the injured man's assistance, finding him dazed and suffering from several ugly cuts. Pie said that he worked at the shipyard, but his name was not as? certained. He afterwards went his way unassisted. ' ? ARRIVED FROM ENGLAND. The steamship Lord Lansdowne has arrived from Barry. Eng.

STILL A MYSTERY. What Was the Matter With Dinks Strother? The Question Unanswered. The ease or Dinks Strother is still as much of a mystery as h ever was. so far as the Physicians are concerned. What the afflicted negro thinks of him? self cannot he stated. He probably will never know what was the matter with him. Health Officer Bagby. speaking of the case yesterday, said that the man was getting well rapidly and was prac? tically recovered, though, or course, not ready to be released from quarantine. Dr. Bagby staffs that if the ease was smallpox, it was a very light ease of variloid and did not run its course as smallpox: on the other hand, if it was .syphilis, it did not run its course as syphilis. GOOD BASEBALL CITY. Captain E. H. Cunningham, of Nor folk. owner of the Norfolk Atlantic League franchise, who has declared his intention to resign front the organiza? tion, and take a berth in the new and popular Virginia League, was in the city hast week. Captain Cunningham is president of th" Virginia League, ami there could net have been selected a better man to handle it* affairs. He has had a good baseball training, and knows well the ins and outs of management. Cap? tain Cunningham is enthusiastic over the prospects of the league. He says all the gentlemen associated with him are good business men. and have the money to get good clubs, and take care ar them through the season. The popular baseball magnate says that Norfolk and Portsmouth are base hall hungry and that Newport News will be a good town. The league will hold a meeting here Thanksgiving night, when everything will be put in order, and a schedule committee appointed. Members will pay their protection money, which will be sent at once to the President-Secre? tary Young, at Washington. Baseball enthusiasts are waiting pa? tiently the result of this meeting, for them it will be known positively where Rlehmot rl will hp in ISM. The Duke or Fulton. Oscar Roddy Foster, is back in town, tending bar. He will play with Newport News, it is thought. He may have charge of the team on the field.?Richmond Dispatch. To THE HORSE SHOW. A v.-ry large and very jolly party of Richmond ladies and gentlemen, up? wards of 150, arrived here Saturday evening and boarded the steamer Louis- for Norfolk, where they took the Obi Dominion steamship Jamestown for New York. They go to attend the Horse Show in New York this week, ami the excursion is called the Horse-Show Excursion. It being th.- fifth run by the Old Dominion Steamship Company. These excursions have grown in popularity every year, and th.- company's palatial steamship, the Jamestown, was crowded when It left Norfolk Saturday night.

O'Donnell, who has been in Richmond visiting relatives for a week, returned to th,. city Sunday. Miss Nettie Butler, of fames City county, is in the city, the guest of her sister. Mrs. M. K. Peterson, in iaist End. Mrs. H. B. Bailey will entertain Wed? nesday night in honor of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Street, the occasion being the first anniversary of their marriage Mr.A. Henry Delbrldge. of Staunlon. has removed his family to Newport News and they are now residing at 22?. Forty-ninth street. Mr. T. E.

J.. have moved to Newport News, and will in future make their home with Mr. and Mrs. !'.. W. Young. Rev. W. S. Shepperd, of the Methodist church. North, held its first service in the Wesleyan Chapel, corner of Lafay? ette avenue ami Thirty-fourth street, su nday. Mr. Edward Haidester, of this city, and Miss Minne Mills, of Norfolk, were quietly married In that city on Satur? day. They will return to this city to live. Dr. Randolph McCaw passed through this city yesterday en route to Phila? delphia, where he will be the guest of his uncle for a short time before leav? ing for Cuba. Mr. and .Vits. A. Henry Delbridge have issued announcements of the marriage of their daughter. Miss Be?3ie Flora, to Mr. Junius Kennen Rudd. which took place October 2f.th at 22:! Forty-ninth street. Mr. George Clark, formerly a member of the executive staff at the shipyard engineer to the Quartermaster's De 1 .irtment of the IT. S. Army, in the transportation department, with head? quarters at 39 Whitehall street, New Nork City. A marriage license was issued yes? terday to James Berry ban.' and Mary Adelaide Teresa Desmond. The groom is a ship-joiner at the yard here. The ceremony will occur Wednesday. Samuel R. Buxton. Esq.. a young law? yer of Jackson. N. C. has arrived here and will locate in this city. He is a nephew of Councilman J. A. Buxton. International Secretary W. A. Hfr don. who is at the head of the colored men's department of the International Committee of the Young Men's Chris? tian Association, spoke to the col? ored men of this city at their meeting for men only in the association rooms, corner of Jefferson avenue an.l Twenty third street Sunday afternoon at 4:?.0 o'clock. The eight white men who are now confined in the city jail on the charge of brutally beating an old man in Rich? mond will probably not be taken to the State Capital for trial. The Richmond police do not believe they can identify the men and it is very probable that the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad will pros? ecute the tramps for trespass. The delinquent tax payers have until December 1 to pay up their accounts with the city and all delinquents after that date will have to suffer the cus? tomary penalty. This fact, however, is not enriching the city's coffers to any noticeable extent as yet and it is very probable that the big tax payers will not come to time until the last few days of the month.

Smith vs. The Western Union Telegraph Com? pany. The court reserved "its decision. This case is an interesting one for the reason that the company received a messa.ee sent by him and failed to de? liver ii. Tb- status provides a penalty of $100 in such cases. It is hardlv probable that the case will he finished at this term, which will dispose of the criminal docket, though Judge Harham may also consider some civil business whi.-h does not come up for Jury trial. The court will be engaged today in the trial of William Hall, who was in? dicted for abducting a girl by the name of Willie Hertha Whitehcad. and se? creting her from her mother. The criminal docket also includes a number of other interesting felony cases, among them the following: 1.. M. Sturgis. charged with forging a check, purporting to be the order of ''. i'.

"Americans Abroad." was the opening bill last night of the Poruchi Reldeni Company's engagement in New? port News. Tin- applause that greeted llie comedy hits, as well as the dramat? ic situations of the play, are Ihe best evidence that the players' initial bow before the Opera House patrons was a success. Tile house was crowded even to the aisles, the audience was appreci? ative and at times enthusiastic and the Players worked conscientiously to please. Mr. Peruchl, as the old Scotch doctor, was extremely funny and his comic soiltrs brought down the house. Miss Beiden!, the American girl abroad, piay ed her difficult role with force and vigor and her work was enhanced by her own personal charm. Miss Hazel Corleton enacted a lively Soubrette role in great shape and with lie!- sister. Miss Daisy Carleton, sang and danced to Die delight ,.r the audi? ence. "Theo" Stark made a capital American tourist: Thomas P. Jackson was a clever villain and James G. Mor? ton made a satisfactory hero. The au? dience probably recognized a familiar figure in Harry Eangdon. who appeared hi re s.-veral limes at the-feitd of his own company. Mr. Enngdnn*imperson aied an Englishman very creditably last night. The others in the cast did good Tonight "The Georgia Cracker," a farce comedy brimful of fun and gord specialties, will be the attraction. The company, as a whole, is one of the best ever S'-n here at popular prices and should draw well during the week. UUVA AAV'N MILL ?v There are more vessels at the navy yard now than for many years, and the prospects for a lively winter are good. There is the cruiser San Fran? cisco, which is now out of commission. The alterations and repairs which are to be mad.- an that vessel alone will keep a large force at work for about a year or eighteen months. This, with other work to be done, on the monitors, gunboats, converted yachts, colliers and tugs there will keep the present force. If not a larger one. actively engaged for some time. A list of the vessels, twenty-five in number, now at the yard follows: Cruisers, San Francisco and Mont? gomery. Monitors. Puritan and Terror. Converted yachts. Sylvia. Hawk, Eagle. Wasp, Yankton. Syren. Oneida, Dorothy. Viking. Stranger and Frolic. Tugs. Sioux and Apache. Gunboats Princeton. Wilmington, New? port and Nashville. Colliers, Saturn. Alexander, Hannibal and Governor Russell. NOT YET DECIDED. Judge Brown was in consultation yes? terday with two experienced and expert authorities upon the diseases of cattle, they having been summoned by him to assist him in arriving at a decision in the "Bad Meat Case" which has been pending before him for some time. His Honor is not yet ready to render Iiis de? cision, but will probably do so in a short time. WIRE SAH. TOMORROW.

Before beginning his sermon at the Washington Avenue Methodist chinch Sunday morning. Rev. Bernard F. Llpscomb. the pastor, said he desired to say a few words in regard to some ru? mors that have been going the rounds of the newspapers regarding a change in pastors of the church. He had no idea where they originated, but wished to say that they did not originate with him. "A Methodist minister," continued Mr. Llpscomb, "goes up to conference, as Paul went to Jerusalem, not know? ing the things that lie before him. As far as I am personally concerned I wish to say emphatically that I have no wish hut to come back hero, and if 1 have any voice in the matter I will come. As staled some time ago. Mr. Lip scomb is spoken of as the probable suc? cessor of Dr. Brown, the presiding eider of the Richmond District in the Metho? dist Conference. Sunday's papers, in speaking of the conference changes, again mention Mr. Llpscomb's name in connection with the presiding eldership of this district. Great interest is felt in Newport News and throughout the State in the meet? ing or the Virginia Methodist Confer? ence to he held in Portsmouth this week. The body meets in Monumental Church on Wednesday night and will bo in session a week or more. The at? tendance will be large. Bishop R. K. Hargrove, of Tennessee, will preside and the introductory sermon will be preached by Rev. Robert M. Maxey. of Cambridge. Mtl. Mr. Maxey is a nephew of I lev. Dr. R. N. Sledd and a young man of eloquence and ability. ' This session of Conference possesses special interest, because of the large number of change that will have to be' made in the locations of both presiding elders and pastors. Six of the former and some seventeen of more of the lat? ter have served the" allotted four years where they are and must be given new fields. These changes will necessitate many others. The presiding elders who have to be transferred are: A. G. Brown. Richmond District: Paul White head. West Richmond District: C. E. Watts. Rappahannoek District: O. Lit? tleton. Lynchburg District: T. H. Campbell. Petersburg District: J. H. Amiss. Portsmouth District^ J. P. Gar? land. Norfolk District.. This Is the one hundred and sixteenth session of the Conference, which com? prises within its territory the most of the State of Virginia east of the Blue Ridge, and that part of the Eastern Shore of Maryland, south of the Chop tank river. There are itt present 260 preachers in the Conference, and a lay membership of S?.s:t0. according to the report made at the last session. P.ishop Hargrove is a man of large scholarship, a fine presiding officer, a courteous and genial Christian gentle? man, and a good, sound, helpful preach? er. He arrived in Portsmouth today, and will, on Tuesday, hold a meeting of the presiding elders to review the appointments for the coming year. This is the custom of this bishop, and impresses most of the preachers and people as being a wise plan, to attend to this work in <\ measure before the rush of Conferen business. Bishop Hargrove -is the president of the Board of Trustees of the Vander bilt University, located in Nashville, Tennessee, the bishop's homo. There will be quite a number of visi? tors, many of them men of distinction, among whom we may name Bishop J. C. Granbcry. the bishop resident in Vir? ginia, at one time a member of the Vir? ginia Conference: Dr. S. A. Steel, late secretary of Epworth Leagues: Dr. Young J. Allen, of China, for many years a Missionary in the Orient, a man second to none in acquaintance with Eastern affairs, having large in? fluence with the ruling, power in China: Miss Mary Bruce, who has had charge of work among the Cubans at Tampa, and who. (Siring the war with Spain, conducted movements looking to the relief of Cuban sufferers, who had tied from their native land. These visitors will all be heard from on special oc? casions during the session. OnttjSunday morning. Bishop Har? grove will preach and ordain deacons; at night he will ordan the elders, at which time Dr. W. V. Tudor will preach the sermon. It is not expected that many matters will bo considered beyond the routine business, and it is believed the session will be briefer than last year's session which lasted nine days. Of course the chief interest centers in the appoint? ments, the reading of which closes the Conference. Some changes will be made under the law limiting the term of pastorate to four years. Many changes will doubtless take place for other reasons. The matter of the Methodist. Book Concern, in connection with the claim against the United States and the methods adopted to secure the same, will no doubt engage the attention of the Conference, and action of an im? portant character, setting forth the position of the Conference on a matter that has awakened the greatest inter? est throughout the bounds of the M. E. Church, South, will the taken. AT THE HOTELS. AI the Hotel Ivy: Several members of the I-Vruehi-Bekleni Co.; W. B. Brothers. Richmond. Registered at the Metropolitan: O. E. S. Butt. Washington. D.

N EG R( 1 W( )M A N S11 ( IT. CHARLESTON. S. C. Nov. 14.?A special to the News and Courier from Greenwood. S. C. says: A telephone message was received here this morning that a negro woman was shot, probably fatally, near Pine Grove church, by a party of white men, who were on their way here. No par? ticulars are obtainable, except that her bouse was fired into by a passing crowd and one ball struck her in the abdomen. About the same time a message was re? ceived from Troy that Mr. Kennedy Mc Castan and a negro on his place, in Ab? beville county, had a personal difficulty in which the negro, whose name could not be learned, shot MeCastnn in the face with a shotgun and had lied in the direction of Abbeville, ANOTHER TRAG E D Y. A little later the news came from Verdery that Mr. John Fell had shot a negro near that place, in Abbeville county, while engaged in a personal dif? ficulty. As in the case of the woman, no particulars beyond the main facts can be obtained. It is known, however, that none of the lawlessness reported today, except the shooting of tin- wo? man, has the remotest connection wiih the Phoenix riot. A dispatch from Abbeville says thai the negro who shot McCastan was pur? sued to the courthouse square in Abbe? ville, where he was caught and commit? ted to jail. There is no fear of his being j lynched. ALEXANDER BIRNEY MISSING.

The Republi? cans will have a majority of from any? where from il ft con I.. eighteen pro? vided there is no hitch In anv of the States, where the Legislatures are Re? publican, in Hie election of United States Senators. |t js ,,,,t at all certain, however, that all ..f the newly elected Sen:.s will be in fax,,,- ?f expansion. Several of the hold-over Republican Senators, including Messrs. Hoar, of Massachusetts, and Hale, of Maine, are opposed to the annexation of the Phil? ippines. ?On the Democratic side, how? ever, are many expansionists, which term includes both Senators from Ala? bama, and il is probable that these Democratic expansionists will mure than ot'fs.t the Republican anti-expan? sionists. The Republican membership In the next Senate will be about llfty fonr. and sixty votes will be neces? sary to ratify anv treatv which mav be presented. DANIEL AND MARTIN OPPOSE IT. Loth Senators Daniel .and Martin have declared themselves against the Republican policy in regard lo the Phil? ippines, and can be depended upon t.. vote acainst annexation. In the ic-xt House it is asserted that every mem? ber from Virginia will be exposed to j expansion.
