Bv Associated Press. I LEXINGTON is the thirtieth anniversary of the first battle Manassas and Lnxington. It is a quiet agricultural village, in which was spent the lifetime of Stonewall Jackson; a most picturesque figure in the Southern Confederacy, brilliant with life and color, while ten thousand strangers assembled i i its environs to participate in exorcises Uv cident to the unveiling of the monument, symbolic of esteem and veneration felt, for the great soldier. The weather is superb, fresh cool breezes tempering the rays of the sun, The streets and buildings are appropriately decorated. Three beautiful arches extend over the main street.

Banners with the name of Jackson and the different battles printed on them swing within a hundred yards of eacli other across the line of march. On one appears Jackson's noted tele- The Legislative Squabble.

Stephen T. rage was called as a witness, but did not respond.

Colonel Crocker testiCed to conversations as to legislative matters, but denied any reference to money matters during these conversations.

On objection being raised to Attorney Clunie's questions as to how the money of the Southern Pacific Company was disbursed under Colonel Uiocker's direction, Clunie said he proposed to that the Southern Pacific Company paid $25,000 to 'Chute, which was paid Burns, and subsequently was paid to the defendants. Colonel Crocker replied: "To my knowledge there was no money paid for any such purposes." The testimony of Sutro and Banks was brief and brought out nothing of importance. Faylor, on taking the stand, testified that he introduced Senator W.

H. Williams to D. M. Burns at Sacra- ruento during the session of the Legislature, and in the conversation following the introduction, Williams told Burns that he had entered into a combination to do business, The combination consisted of the San Francisco delegation, with the exception of Britt and Mahoney. jWilliams said Striking By Associated Press.

Taylor testified, Burns replied, that he didu't want to make any money, but would consider the matter. The witness said he had met Williams the ext day. Crimmius had returned nd said Colonel Crocker had asked hat the boys wanted. The boys had )ld Crimmins to go back and see hat Crocker would give.

This afternoon Governor Merriam ordered the State militia to be held in readiness to assist the Sheriff in enforcing the law. He declares he will prevent the Hall--Fitzsimmons fight at all hazards. Hall--Fitzsimmons fight will not take to-night in view of the positive stand taken by Governor Merriam. The management this afternoon formally decided to postpone NEWS. All of the "World.

A number of gentlemen were seated in one of Reno's resorts last evening and a discussion arose as to the feasibility of a judge acting at his own discretion, irrespective of the law in certain cases, and the following instance was cited, favoring such discretionary action, by one the attorneys present: "I was spending a month in an eastern city last fall and one morning stepped into the Police Court, thinking their morning's seance might prove interesting, and it proved so to be, for after disposing of two 'plain drunks' by giving them the usual dollars or thirty days on the the old judge impatiently rapped on bis desk and called out, and removed his spectacles and beckoned toward which enclosed a half dozen specimens of the genus hon.o in various stages of inebrily, who leered through the wooden bars at the customary crowd of police court attaches, In one corner of the'pen'crouched a little, ranged figure, her straggling hair half coverini? a pinched face, prematurely aged by contact with THE A bIDK 01?

Cattle Way to Sheep and Mtockmru Maine Out of tlie Business. The Helena (Mont.) Journal says: Jt is reported upon reliable authority that many of tue big herds of cattle in Northern Montana are to be sent to market this year. Some companies are preparing to ship everything and go out of the business.

This is rendered a matter of necessity in some localities. Small farmers aud ranchmen are settling in thickly and are fencing up nearly all the available water, while sheepmen are occupying the country more and more every year. They are said to require less attention and are considered of much more advantage to the country. Small springs and diminutive streams will suffice for them, and in tbe opinion of a man well posted in the matter, it is only a question of a few years when large herds of cattle in Montana will-be numbered as a thing of the past, Ituiiiiiiij; on Shape.

They then told Burns that Irimmins had held out $200 of the $1,500 and that they did not want anything more to do with him. Burns said he would turn the whole business over to Chute.
