AN ENJOYABLE BANQUET AT THE COCHRAN BY THE SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION— PATRIOTIC SPEECHES BY JUSTICE BREWER, REPRESENTATIVES COGSWELL AND OTHERS, One hundred and sixteen years ago yester- day the British troops, under Lord Howe. found Boston too unpleasant for them and evacuated the city. The event was celebrated last night by the Society of the Sons of the American Revolution. They gave a dinner at the Cochran. & When the 100 members who were present had finished the dinner and were beginning to flick the ashes from their cigars into the saucers of their coffee cups and nibble at the Rochefort the president of the society, Gen. Breckinridge, appointed Col. Myron M. Parker toastmaster. Before the speech making begun, however. @ little business was transacted. | Dr. Scott, father-in-law of President Harrison, was elected an honorary life member of the socisty. _ The following members were elected as dele- gates to represent the District of Columbi the national congress of the society in New York ejty on April 30: Vice President Morton, Mr. Juttice Brewer, Col. M. M. Parker, Gen. F. G. Butterfield, Senator W. P. Frye. €. J. Faulkner, Gen. H. V. Boynton, Mr. H. G. Ogden, Mr. . Rathbone, Mr. W. E. Annin, JUSTICE BREWER'3 SPEECH. Col. Parker thought that Associate Justice Brewer of the United States Supreme Court, who had been initiated into the society earlier in the evening, ought to make a good epeech and he called upon him for it, Col. Parker's surmise proved to be correct. Justice Brewer did make a good speech. He started out by saying that some people have ancestors that they can't remember at all or can't remember with any feeling of pride, but it was to the glory of the gentlemen present that they could remember their ancestors and remember them with houor Justice Brewer took oceasion to felicitate himself upon his easy initiation into the society. He said he had had visions of a goat or a slippery pole, but the visious did not ma- terialize, aud he was coming into the society in the most pleasant way imaginable. Merging ivto a serious vein, he said that the battle of Thermopylw was an insignificant ui- fair, and yet it made Athens possible and § mmortal. ‘The battle of Lexing skirmish, yet the shot fire on that day the dome of the universe. With the evac: of Boston the British troops sbandoned the of the colonies nad the Decl penience owed, He didu’t wo: British left Boston if the weather at that time was like the weather prevailing ‘The reel reason for their leaving there was uot room on this continent for hostile troops. Time never bas been nor time never will be when there is xoom for hostile troops on this continent. ‘The day will come--every one locks forward to the day to come—wken the prophecy of the Fourth of July to the boundaries of tue Un e fulfilied. That they are bounded on the rorth by the auroren borenlis, on the east by the Atlantic oceaa. on the south by the south pole and ou the west by the day of judgment. “America has no grudge against the British,” said Justice Brewer, “no quarrel with them, but they mustn't touch our seals.” REPRESENTATINE COG3WE! Representative Cogeweli of Mascachusetts followed Justice Brewer. He said he was glad of the evacuation of Boston, although he had no personal knowledge of it. He really didn’t have any persoual acquaintance with his an- cestory. However, he had mo doubt that the evacuation took place, fur Lord Howe and his troops are not there now, at least they were not & few days ago. There seems to be some doubt as to what caused the evacuation of Bostov. Some people have thought that the Bostonian by bis peculiar manner froze him out. That is possil But speaking confidentially the speaker believed that Lord Howe foresaw the shadow of coming events; realized that the frishmen wanted the place and concluded that he would anticipate their wishes. Mr. Cogs- well revealed the history of Boston and the achievements of itr citizens, calling forth the applause of the Marsachusetis members of the society. omio Xow THE HUB. Representative Outhwaite of Ohio was called upon for aspeech. He said he could not claim to have any ancestors. He had borrowed some, however, for this occasion. Mr. Outhwaite was bold enough, in spite of the applause which followed Mr. Cogawell’s remarks, to make the assertion that the hub of the universe has moved westward and is now situated in Ohio. Incidentally he mentioned that the President and four members of his cabinet were born in Obio and that Sherman and Sheridan were born in Obio. The celebration of the evacuation of Boston should recall stirring ‘memories in the mind of every American. king out of the window st the driving snow storm, Mr. Outh- waite said the night reminded him of Valley Forge. The company sitting around sur- rounded by luxuries, the scene lighted by that subtle fluid which was first enticed from the clouds by an American near this very Valley Forge, he could hardly appreciate the hard- ships and sufferings which their ancestors went through. Yo his mind Valley Forge always Presented & picture of a snow-covered little amlet of log huts and foot prints in the euow leading from door to door tinged with blood. MASSACHUSETTS AND VIRGINIA. Mr. John Goode of Virginia was ealled upon to speak for the Old Dominion. He gave thanks that the name of the proud old commonwealth whose Jefferson wrote the Declarati whose Madison was the father of the Constitution, whose Marshall furnished the highest model of a noble and an upright judge and whose Wash- ington was universally proclaimed first in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen, had been honored. Massa- chusetis and Virginia had stood side by side in the struggle when Warren poured out his@hfe’s blood as a free libation to burning the flame of liberty. Mr. Goode re- ferred lightly to the late unpleasantness be- tween the gray and the blue. but took occasion to pledge that in case of any little disturbance with foreign nation ag to our seats the gray would stand shoulder to shoulder with the bine. GEN. CUICHEON’S BRIEF SPEECH. Gen. Cutcheon of Michigan was then called upon and said that the Americans ere now a pecpie wita a glorious history back of them and a glorious history before them. He thought the British had evaccated Boston be- cense they fouud they cou'dn’t stay there any longer because they found the thirteen colo- es were stauding shoulder to shoulder. Mr. Cutchecn’s speech was very short, but to the point, and he took occasion to indorse the idea which bas been suggested of building a grand memorial ball iu tais city for the Sous of the Revolution. ‘MZMBERS PRESENT. ‘The members present were Mr. Robt.

RICHMOND TERMINAL CHANGES. Reorganization and Consolidation of the Systems. Considerable interest has been shown in the published plan for the reorganization and con- solidation of the systems controlled by the Richmond Terminal Compan; The salient features of the reorganization plan were presented ina brief by one author- ity, as follows: 1. It reduces the present capitalization of the ‘ame properties $44,000,000. While the com- mon stock of the new company is larger than the Richmond Terminal’s common stock the -| excess is used to take up stocks of separate parts of the system, 2. The fixed charges are reduced @1,814,887, which in ‘iself is equal to a dividend of over 2 Percenton the new preferred stock. On the sis of last year's earnings the fixed cha of the new company would be exceeded by $1,034,000. 3. The charges and preferred dividends ahead of the new common stock are many millions less than the charges and dividends now shead of Richmond Terminal common stock. 4. The plan will clear off floating debts, car trusts. &c.. and leave the new company with $10,000,000 bonds in the treasury, to be used to Acquire new property on the cousent of the Preferred stockholders.
