A MBETING of tbe har of Ui. hmend

Many metuhcrs ..f th. Birbrnond Har
Association attended the funeral this
evening,
In commenting on the har meeting
the Richmond Timcs Dispateh aaya:
It is to say thp least, unique for a
har asuociation, composed only of
whitp mpn, to be palled in special BB8*
sion tr> pass resolutions upon the death
of a colored man, hut the membera of
the lcM-al har feel that, in viewof tl.e
courtcous and rcspeetful serviee r.n
deretl by Brown during his lifetime,
and in further view of his usefulti.ss
and knowledgc, it would he imappn
ciativo not to show in Bome manncr
their regard for the faithful Banritor.
This would not have happeited in the
north and the people of thal section
will not iinderstand the in.-i lent nor do
tbey understand the kindly feeling that
exiats among the white people of tlie
south for their well hehaved colored
brethren. ____________

New York, Oct. 21.?Senator N.lson
W. Aldrich, of Rhode Island, republi?
can leader in tbe Cnited Statcs Scnate,
is slowly recovering today in his apart
ments, 540 Park avenue, from ll.e ef?
fecta of a mysterioua accident wbich be
fell him last night at 6 o'cloek. -
tor Aldrich hin.-.lf does not know how
he was injured, but believea 1..- was
struck either by a taxi-cab or an elec?
tric. car.
Despite the optimisti. reports given
by Senator Aldrich's family, it is un?
derstood that for a time grave alarm
was Mt and that pvpn now his condi?
tion ia such as to cause some anxiety.
The main injurieaarc ahout the head.
it is declared. Senator Aldrich, with
hia wife and son, Winthrop, baa been
stopping at his New York apartinent
for some time. Last evening. shortly
before Ii o'cloek. tba senator, dressed
for dinner and decided to Lake a stroll
while waiting for the other membera of
his family. Twenty ininutes later hc
staggercd into tbe entrance of the
apartinent hou-e. wheie I.e sank into
the arnis of friends who happened t<> be
standing there.
The senator was ruabed to his rooms
and phyHicians suniiiioned. l>r. Dun
ham, of tba I'resbyterian Hospital, ar
rived in B few inoinetits iu an ambii
lance. He was joined very shortly by
other physicians who spent 00-8?er
able time in his anartments, one >.f
them rcniaining on duty all night.
Early today it was declared by the
doctors that tho senator's chief hurts
were in the head and that he would I"'
able to be out in a few days, tboagfa
just how longho would becontined was
problematical. Senator Abbioh toM
them that whilo he was walking past
tho corner of Madisoii avenue and 69th
street, a vehicle?hc does not kriow
what sort?struck him.
Not a singlo person has heen found
who witnessed the accident.
That a fashionahly 0>eeeed man, of
striking persoiial appearance. could he
struck at this crowded corner an.l walk
alone through the street-. with his cloth
ing dishevelled and blood streaniing
from his face, has added to tbe mystpry
of the accident. He was blceding pro
fusely from a wound ovpr his left eye
and another on tbe right templc, while
his right arni apppared to hang limp in
the lorn slpeve of his frock coat.
Although membera ofthe senator's
family were willing to give out a few of
the details of his injuries, endcavoring
as mncfa as passihle to minii.ii/.e their
.ffect, it was signilicant that. all ihe
pmployes of the apartmant bouae had
been given orders that under no con?
dition were they to say one w<>rd re
garding the aceidentr
At poli.e beadquartera it was de?
clared that no report had heen received
ol any accident at Madisoii avenue and
69th street. and that if a street CB r
autoniohile struck the Bbode Island
senator at this poliee, tbe poliee koew
nothing of it.
There are persistant rui.iOTS, BB y. t
iincontirined.that Senator Aldrich may
have beOO the victini of a niurderous
assault.
L.at.r in tho day the vcil of mysl. ry
tbrown about tbe case by tbe Aldrich
family was fncrcased to an pxteiit that
n.wspaper men were rnfueed admittance
to tbe apartinent house, and no 'phone
cailfl weieanswered.
Dr. H. Holhrook Curtis, the Al?
drich family physician, added to the
myatery later in tbe morning by tcll
ing of tbe senator's injuries, hut re
fusing positively to say how they w.ie
snstaiti. d. other than that he had l.ccii
"run down."
"The senator has a CUI ovei ihe
left cye hrow, extci.ding over the f..rc
head, and is badly bruise.l on ll.e fa<?<?
and head," said Dr. Curtis. "There
are no internal injuries. He is siil't.r
ing slightly from shock, an.l will be
about in two days."
When asked whether the wound on
the head i.iight have heen cause.i hy
an assault, Dr. Curtis refuaed to reply.

OUTSIDE THK HHHAHT?VOKK8.
Aa stated in the Oazette on that day,
Mr. J. V. Trehy, at the Seeond distriet
democratic convention on Tuesday,
threw enough votes from Youug to
Holland to secure thfl nomination for
Congress for the last named candidate.
Trehy, the Norfolk "boss," realized
the inoyitable and was the lirst of the
allies to grasp eonditions. By so doing,
no matter what tbfl motive, Trehy
has added several powerful spokea to
his own wheel, not only in the counties,
but in his home city, where Holland
was baeked by more than 1,000 votes.
Trehy some hours later was asked as
to tbeflignificance Of his action and
the consequeiici) of thfl vote as affect
ing outside politics.
"You may say," Trehy replied,
"that I am outside the breastworks
when thfl state organization is con
aidered. I bave cut looflfl from the
state crowd and for cause. I prefer
tliat you would not print whethc" I
am for Of against Senator Martin, but
when the state machine is mentioned,
I am an alieii. Neither I normy Nor?
folk friends hcreafter form a party or
parcel of the state organization,"
Though thfl deelaration was noncom
mittal as to Senator Martin, Trehy'a
words are signiticeut. Trehy is thfl
strongest democratic leader in the
Seeond distriet, and the tone of his in
terview means that some thousands
of Seeond distriet votes will bfl against
Benator Martin, no matter who his
Opponent may bfl. Trehy turned
against the state "machine" when
Young wa-s turned down by tbfl state
convention. _

the harbor. The parade was small.
but it made up in enthusiasin what it
lacked in nnmbera,

rolled away by 11 o'elock, and the more
hardy veterans, witb the Spanish
American Veterans. two bands and tbfl
Sons of Veterans and Confederate
choirs, asseinbled at the Confederate
nionunient.
Tho bugle and drum corps from thfl
leceiving ship Franklin got busy, and
the siilewalks lined with people waited
for the parade to begin. The Oiand
ICarabal H. C. Hoggard annouoced
the original programme had been
changed, and tbat thfl line of march
would bfl directly to tbe wharf.
At 4 o'elock in the afternoon thfl

When W. J- Bryan was informed of
the death of David B. Hill he seemed
startled. "Mr. Hill's death," said Mr.
Bryan, "removca the most experienced
politician of our party. In the practi
cal workings of politics and in that
diplomacy tliat is rcipiired in dealing
with men, Mr. Hill was without a peer
among his democratic associates; and
there were few in the opposite party
tbat rauked with him. He was a man
of great ability, and during his long
life no charge could be brought against
his personal character. Tlie termina
tion of his career brings a shock to hia
friends, aud his death will be sincerely
mourned,"

When Buying Fuel
The consumer must always tigure on the ac

ten for the money spent.
We believe that our connectioiis of long

fuel that we buy, make it possible for us to
sell the very highest grades of Coal and Wood
at prices that are cheapest to the consumer
A trial order of our Coal and Wood, or an
opinion from some of our satisfied cuatomers,
will prove that our idea of putting quality
first is correct.
