v.-i; Benaton Berry, ol Amberst, and
Wickham. of Hanover, and Delegai
"??? of Albetnarle, and Tyler, of Prince

Speaker Cardwcl] and Senator Wickham,
be d - r? siderita "f the adjoining ?
and in the eity almost daily, have ha I fre
ipn-nt conferences with the Qovernot on
the subject of the pending negotiations,
and are acquainted with the nature of all
the correspondence that has paeeed upon
Ute subject. The other members?lieu*

belegute* Dabney and Tyler, or Prince
William re ide In more ?nstant sections
of Ute Mat?* ami have not bad these oppor?
tunities, it w;i^ Beeessary,therefore, that
mueh time should be consumed in going
through with a thorough explanation of
ail that has occurred in connection with
the negotutfi? us.
TUE MII.LION-noI.I,AU DFVOSIT.
The resolution creating the commission
provides that there shall be ade]
(il ,000.000 made by the bondholders,
or their repreeenfativee, before any
proposition shall be entertained. Tier??
in. been some divisioQ of opinion
as to th?? prop?!? construction of
this clause of the resolution? Son:??
hold that under it the commission cannot
receive,discues,or cm. ider any proposi.
tion until the deposit has been made.
< ri ? rs give it a broader interpretation,
and take the ground that deposit is not ne?
cessary until a proposition is made.such
as the Rtate'a representatives ?would be
likely to report to the General Assembly.
The probabili tv la that t:i?? latter view
will I?? taken bj the commission. In fact,
it is understood that three of it? members
place tUta construction upon the legisla?
tive provision, and that s< me of the others
-t i.u inclination to coincide with
them.
?AN PUt Bf THK MONEY.
That the bon lb ilders' commit!
produce tin? 91,000,000in cash .t it is found
iry there is no doubt. It- members
me all men ot wealth and of great finan?
cial influence, commanding large sums of
money, It would perhaps cane them
sligbt Inconvenience to do this, and they
are understood to be unwilling todos?
untase the negotiations reach such a stage
as to give reasonable promise of the ec
e of th?'ir niter.
The idea that now prevails, whether pro
perlj founded or not, is that the commis?
sion will probably decide not to ins stupon
t be in?. ? ) '?? g dei ited until the ar??
? ? proposition which they eau en?
tertain ?tul recommend for legislative
adoption.
t? dis? use nonna,
Of course one of the fundamental ques?
tions t lewd by the confi
is what amount of money the State ol Vir.
ginis Liable toput usui?? annually for the
payment of interest. The (sreditors1
committee will p edilj seethal it ii ?
to ask for anything more than can b ? met
by the State'
To make thia matter es plain es ?
and to afford every facility it is under
that the financial officers of the Stete
have had sev? ral taludar stati neufs made,
showing in detail the resourbe t Vir.
ginia, from what sources fa ?
nue comea, and how the money is
I? d. These figures, it li aie toraj
Bfer fn-m those issued some tun ? ago
by the Olcott committee, and they wfll
undoubtedly be more accurate, as the Au
,i:toi : ?- better opportunities of knowing
just what the State re?elv?M endforwhei
it is spent. Those tables will be of great
value.

PLAYED WITH A LOADED GUN
Edward Johnson Shot ani Kitlei by ???
Friend, Krnrst KohcrUiw.
Another exemplification of the fatal re.
suit thp: often follows the careless hand?
ling of firearms occurred Sunday morning
abgilt 11 o'clock al MM 1'oplar Street, in
which Edward Johnson (colored), who
lived at 809 north Second street, was shot
and killed by another negro, Ernest ? ?
bertson. The two men had for rears bean
food friend-, io intimately that it wa.?)
the custom of Johnson to freqnenUi
Bobertson on Sunday morning?, G???
arri ring at Roberta m'a house on this oeca
aiofl Johnson found the former and his wife
at the breakfat-table, but after the meal
bad bean finished Um visitor said to Bo.
liertson : " Come on, I bare eomethrae for
yon." The two nun went into Robert -
? b'i chsmber, when Johnson picked no
an old Springfield musket and pointed it
at Robertson. Th? latter grabbed Um gun
by the stock andaHctillle forUM i
? tie? fowling-piece ensw L
A'?? ????ta?.?.t rjnSSBUBOJBX
In wrestling with the weapon it w
charged and its deadly contenta emptied
Into Johnson's right coUar-blade iust be
low the mck, inflicting a wound which r??
suited in death within two or three minutes.
? be city ambulance waa t tephoned for by
a gentleman Urine near ty and who heard
the report of the gun, but life wan extinct
before it arrived.
When Robertson realised what he had
done he caught hia faUing friend and ex?
claimed: "'>h. Qod, 1 have killed him,
and I didn't know it was loaded." He
seemed to be much distressed over the
dying man's condition, and intimated bis
intention of committing suicide.
I I Ith. ?G???.
When the shooting occurred the two
men were alone in the room. As soon as
the weapon waa discharged and thi rep? rl
heard other? who were on the premisi s en?
deavored to enter bv the front door, but
this was closed and the ? had to go around.
The wounded man uttered onlj a few
wordi before be expired, and said nothing
Indicating thai he blamed the one at whose
hands his life had been taken.
Soon the news was circulated through?
out the neighl orbood, and during the dav
hundreds of colored people visited the
of the tragedy. The multitude of
g negroes waa al ?? ? time so great
that sp?cial police were dispatched
maintain order and os?st.
Robertson immediately walked to the
First police station and surrendered him?
self to Sergeant Hall. Beexeitedlj stated
what be had done, and was lodged hi tin
