Union Academy downed a team from

Tho contest, which is the first of the
season for the Academy, was very ox
citing, and three or four hundred peoplo
attended.
Gate wood, for the Academy, kicked off
and started the play at 3 P. M. The
Academy teum then commenced to make
steudy gains through their opponents'
line, until a touchdown was scored. "Then
an easy goal was kicked.
After Ihe first touchdown the Academy
team had the gamo all In their favor,
gaining the necessary ground almost at
will, Gibbs particularly making long
gains when given the ball.
Some of th? sensational plays for tho
Academy were tho fifty yards runs for a
touchdown by Sutherland and a dash for
a touchdown* by Glbbs. The lino playing
of Woodfin, Sutherland, Gatewood, Grif?
fin and Aubrey Glbbs, for tho Academy,
wore features of tho game.
Near the conclusion tho visitors braced

'Mr. Eliot Lord, special agent of tho

Statistics, was In the city last night o?
his way to Chattanooga to attend the Im?
migration Convention, which was caned
by Governor Montague nnd oilier Hiato
executives and which will assemble next
week,
Mr. Lord represents the Iiaiian-An?eV
Ican Agricultural Association, which lias
for Its objects tho colonizing of emigrants
In the various States. He says (ho
scheme hns worked ? admirably In the
North, and he? proposes shortly to estau
lish some colonies In the South.
In discussing the subject further, Mr.
Lord said: ,
"It appears to me from different notices
I have seen in the papers of til? ap?
proaching convention at Chattanooga,
that there Is likely to arise a possible
misapprehension In regard to the alms of
our association, or the efforts of othets
now Interested In Ihe work of effecting a
better distribution of Immigration.
Knows of None.
"I certainly know of no organization
and no undertaking of any kind whlcn
has for Its objort tne ?jumping of unde?
sirable immigrants In any part of the
South, and I do not believe that any
such attempt will be made or that It
could possibly reach any measure of suc?
cess if It wero made. --' '*?
I "From my investigation and experience,
I am convinced that the South has much
less to fear from1 any possibility of the
Influx of undesirable Immigration than
it has to apprehend that' It may be Im?
practicable to divert to southern agricul?
tural districts even a small fraction of
the good colonists, who would be wel?
comed cordially In any northern State.
"Our association, at least, is; assured
that ?? score, of openings will be offered
willingly for our colonists In Now York
State If there should be any disposition In

ment of our picked people."

ments lately published In a prominent

leglng, among other things, fraudulent

ACTING POSTMASTER
FOUR YEARS.WAWTS JOB
Mr. Fleet Thinks It is About
Time to Be Named As Regu?
lar Head.
(From Our Regular Correspondent )
WASHINGTON, D. C. October 30.-H Is
believed Acting Postmaster Fleet, of Ash?
land, will be reappolnted within a few
days. It was statedat the Postoffieo De?
partment to-day that the appointment of
a postmaster would be made within a
week. It was impossible to learn positively
that Mr. Fleet would be appointed, but
It Is believed his appointment will bo
mnde. His case is unique. He was a.s
slstunt-postmoster at tho death of the
postmater, about four years ago. Henry
C. Payne, who wa then postmaster gen?
eral, did not have the President mako
an appointment, but allowed Mr. Fleet
to - continue to servo as postmaster, or
noting postmaster. Postmaster General
Wynne did likewise, and Postmaster Geri
eral Cortelyou hns allowed the acting
postmaster to continuo to act. There
were three other applicants for the ap?
pointment?Messrs. Ryland, Gllllam and
Haw, but they appear to have dropped
out, with the exception of Mr. Haw. Mr.
Fleet is said at the department to havo
made on excollent^offlclal.
A correspondent sent outr from this city
recently a statement to tho effect that
tho establishment of tho office of pur?
chasing agent of the Postofflce Depart?
ment had proven, a step not at all satis?
factory to tho Republicans. It was .stated
that a Republican member of the House
Committee on Postofflcos had sent let
tors to tho presidents of two of the
largest railroad.? in the country, one In
the East and one in the West, asking in?
formation respecting their purchasing de?
partments. Tho replies received by the
representative wero said to contain the
information that the .suppl?>s for euch
of tho railroads were bought by one pur?
chasing agent, who was assisted by a
singlo stenographer, The salary of tho
purchasing agent of tho Postoffieo Depart?
ment Is ?l.oflO a year. Ills chief clerk
receives 12,000, nnd four other clerks and
a messengar raise thu total to $10.430.
Postmaster General Cortolyou en Id to?
day that In order to ascertain with a fair
degreo of accuracy tho extent of the
ortlce forco employed by the various rall
road oompnnlea in the pinchoso of sup?
plies, he directed that Identical letters be
addreased to thirty-five of the largest
railroad systems,' Replies from twenty
two wero received. From those twenty
two, representing a total of 10,1,371 miles
of road, It appears that 658 employes uro
required to purchase annually supplies,
to tho valuo of ???a. 178,733.74? or that to
?ach company employs In the office of Its
purchasing ugent, nn average of twenty?
ilvo clerks to purchase $fl.0(12,071 worth of
supplies, for 4,(199 miles of roud. -.
Tho purchasing agent of th?? Postoffire
Department buya annually supplies
amounting in valuo to $3,180,(133, and with
about one-third of Ilio average? forco em?
ployed by tho railroads In the purchase
of their supplies. Tho wisdom of estab?
lishing the Office nf purchasing agent,
through which all supplies for tho depart?
ment must bo bought, would appear to
bo donioiiHlruted. It la .believed that tho
time will conio when supplies l'or all the
department? will bo 'bought through ono
agent. At present each department buys
He own supplies. The Pastoffleo De?
partment in the only ono having a pur?
chasing ?igeili. Tho prices paid for various
supplies Identical In character, vary with
each department. The creation of ilio
office of general purchasing agent, would.
It is believed, be in the Interest, not only
ol uniformity, but of ecoiwmy, a? well.

(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON-, D. C, Oct. 30.-The
case of United States Judge Charles
Swayne, of Florida, who was the sub?
ject of Impeachment proceedings by tlio
Senate during the last session of Con?
gress, was decided to-day by the Su?
preme Court of the United States In
connection with a decision in the case
of ?Florida McGulre vs. ????????? A.
Blount, involving title to the land near
Pensacola, Florida. The opinion In the
case was delivered by Justice Day, and
sustained the decision of the Court of
Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, which was
favorable to Blount. j
Judge Swayne sat In the trial of this
case, and during Its progress was re?
quested to excuse himself and not sit In
the' case, because, as was alleged in the
petition, his wife owned an Interest In
the property. In the course of his de?
cision Justice Day said thnt no Interest
by Mr. Swayne had been shown In any
competent manner, and no adequate rea?
son for Judge Swnyne's retirement from
the case had been given.

DAMES AT WESTOVER.
Interesting Meeting at.Historic
Mansion On the James.
Tlie Ideal October day rendered the
trip down James River and the Ilrst nu
lumn meeting of the Virginio Society of
Colonial Dames at Westover a delightful
affair Indeed.
The rh'er and the lordly mansion look?
ed their best In the glint of October sun?
shine. The grnss on the lawn was still
like emcrnlcl velvet; In the sweet, old
time garden the flowers made a brllllani
bit of color, and at tho hospitable door
of the mansion stood tho gracious mis?
tress, Mrs. AVllllarn AlcCreery Ramsey,
assisted by her little daughter. Miss
Elizabeth, and by Mrs. George W. Bagbv
and Mrs. Reginald Ollham, who have
been her guests during the week.
The business meeting of the Dames
was held In the Westover drawing-room,
with Mrs. Cox, the president, in the
chair. Several questions of importance
were discussed and referred to future
meetings for decision.
Resolutions of sympathy and respect
on the death of Mrs. J. B. Spencer, of
??????????^?p?.' wero read by Mrs. A. J.
Montague. Mrs. Lefr?y and Mrs. Oll?
ham also read letters.
An interesting feature of the occasion
was the planting of a tree by- .the Dames
on the front lawn, overlooking: the river,
after the adjournment of business. The
tree was a silver maple. Mrs. Cox threw
In the first spadeful of earth, and the
others followed suit.
Luncheon was served In the spacious
ball-room wing of Westover. The oftl
cers sat at the head table. Table deco?
rations were in marigolds and chrysan?
themums. Mrs. Ramsey's health was
drunk by the Dames standing. Just be?
fore the close of the beautiful? enter?
tainment.'
All too soon came the hour for re?
turning. Good-byes were said, with many
assurances to the hostess of the pleas?
ure she had bestowed. The steamer
brought the visitors to City Point, and
the "Cannon-Ball" landed them in Rich?
mond at 6:50 o'clock.
Those who 'went to ????????G were:
Mrs. William R?ffln Cox, Mrs. A. I.
Montague. Miss Salilo Greenhow, Mrs.
