held to await reauisition Of the Governor of Nir-

in relation to the matter:

banned rhos. Moulton. accompanied by his broth
e.. came to the city. They attenuel the Jayue's
hall prayer meeting. and in dne course Of time
Thomas professed to have become the subject If
conversion. Upon the strength of his conversion
they gained the confidence of the Employment
committee and through their they
obtained situations. Having done this they c",l-
menced to tramplc upon the commandments. and
in their own interest to forget that of thrir en-
ployers. When matters became too hot. they left
their situations simultaneously Y. Thomas was ar

TIE RICHMOND Flour REORGANIZATION two
weeks ago, Crenshaw, Haxalt 4 Co.. applied to the
Circuit Court of Richmond City, for n mand1maS,
to require Daniel S. Delaplanc, the Inspector OF
Flour, to conform to the law prescribing the 'ize
of the anger to be used i'll the process of inspection.
The case has been deliberately argued, and on
Saturday, says the mig, Judge Meredith render
ed his decision, by awarding the mandamus. Tx
ccution of the writ is to lie suspended for thirty
days, to enable an appeal to be taken to the SUI
premc Court. The use ofaugcrs Of larger diameter
than halfinch--the size fixed hy the statute; is
justified on the ground that is has been the Gus
tom to ues them from time immemorial.
