Dearborn Observatory, on the sd. As
seen through the eighteen-inch refractor, it
appeared as pretty bright circular nebul-
Gus mass, considerably condensed in the
central portion. A slight preponderance
of the rays on the eastern edge give indica-

little to the purity Of legislation AT Wash
ington by securing abroad the money
necessary to build the Texas Pacific Rail.
road according to the plans Of its mana
gers. This is an end to one Of the most
dangerous schemes for subsidy OF late be-
fore Congress. Few Of our people under
stand how rapidly the work is progressing
on the line Of railroad across Arizona and
Texas. Within about year tho road
from California will be complete to the
Rio Gando, and now it seems quite clear
that it will be met at that river by sys.
tenn connecting it with all Of the Eastern
States Al tie same time, roads are press.
ed southwark from Kansas and Colorado
to New Mexico, and before the end Of
next summer New Mexico will be brought
into very close connection with all Of onr
markets bytwo separate lines, The trouble
will remain that on the western side Of
the continent the control Is in the hands
of the Central Pacific managers without
competition or the hope OF it.

TO the Editors of the Dispatch:

Some days ag., I. commented on the sing,l.
lar attitude OF Nj. McGruder as an aspirant
for treasurer OF iTeDrico as Conservative
nominee. I did 81, as voter in Henrico,
and a Conservative voter. Mr.. McGruder
has not yet defined his position or explained
the Inconsistency I pointed out. MI. South.
ward, known Republican, has seen fit to
champion him, and doing so has shown the
very thing alleged. Mr.. SouthwaTd's pre-
ference is nothing to Consel vatiyes. nor do
we care for the views OF Rep ublicans. even
II he is the selected cxpon ent OF their
views, which bis card would imply; and il
his letter stopped at saying whal he or they
have done or intended to do, would not
noiice it; but when he goes on and says,
81 do not know what reply Captain McG,u-
der Will make TO this card, but know the
people OF the county, OF all parties, intend
to vote for him for treasurer, regardless Of
his politics, whether he qualities or not" he
not only does Mr.. McGruder no coed. but
lays bare tbeyery nerve o! Mr.. McGruder's
case. Now, what want to know is: Will
MIR. McGruder permit this thing to be done
il be fails to get the Conservative nomina-
ton? II he does, he is going TO win the
nomination il he can as Conservative. and
then still win the election il he can, whether
nominated as Conservative or not If he
isnot doing this he onght to say so; for it
Is evident that Republicans like Mr.. South
ward do not intend to drop him if he is not
nominated by the Conservatives II he
intends TO withdraw on failing to get the
ConseI vatiye nomination it is manifest that
the Republicans expect him to do so in so
uncertain and negative way as that they
may still use him to.vote upon him the solid
Republican strength, and adding to that his
personal following, to elect him over the
regular Conservative nominee, and thus
break up all party discipline and pave the
way to other triumphs for them. II we are
going TO have Conservative party in Hen
rico, let us have it; IL not, let us say So
Certain it Is that il we are going to be scared
into nominating doubtful man because we
fear Republicans will unite with his per-
sonal friends to elect him il we refuse him,
we are yielding to. the dictation OF oppo-
nents and men who will go with us il we go
their way, but turn and rend lis il we do
not. This is no equality. 1t Is simply the
game Of euchre. And if Mr.. McGruIer is
willing TO lend himself to such policy he
IS no Conservative, and his name ought not
to be entertained for q minute before the
convention. He should reply to these in-
terrogatoIies before lie goes in II you are
not nominated by the Conservative conren-
tion will you consent to be voted for at the
election? II you should be voted for and
elected will you qualify? Let him answer
these questions in the negative, and will
be done. HESRICO.

A TEST CASE DECIDED IN THE HUsTINGs COURT
| r. THE COMMONWEALTH AGAINST JOSEPH Az
| ,GUsTINE. ; -. .,5s-. 49,
An'interesting and important case has
Just been determined by a iury in the Hus.
tipgs Court. Il was on an Indictment against
our well-known citizen, Mr.. Joseph Angus
tine, for obstructins the highway, the al
legged obstruction consisting in the protru-
sion OF his lot, on the northern side of Plea
SAINT street between Adams and Scott streets,
beyond the alleged lawful line OF the street
IN encroachment common to all his neigh
bors on that side OF that particular block.
This, with large amount Of adjacent pro-
perty. was part OF the estate OF Colonel
Richard Adams, whose heirs filed bill in
1878 against bis executors for q partition OF
his realty. Commissioners were appointed
by the County Court OF Henrico, who
made reports Of their partition in 1919
and 1922, accompanied by maps, in both OF
which Pleasant street is described and laid
down as straight street, and without any
such projection in this particular square az
Is now complained OF. 1t was found ut the
trial that the land was then, and for many
years afterwards, totally unoccupied; that
the county within whose limits the land
was never accepted these streets Us public
roads or exercised any act OF ownership or
control over them, and that many years be-
fore the extension Of the city limits to en-
brace this territory lin 1861 houses and
fences had been built on the line now claim
ed to be an encroachment. The prosecu.
tion was Instituted as test-case, to deter
mine the right OF the city to reetify the street
line in such cases. .s-;:
The Court instructed the Jury that unless
there was some acceptance by the county
authorities OF the street as laid down on the
map, or some control claimed and exercised
over it, it did not become public highway
during the continuance OF the county con.
troll over it. and that the city acquired at the
extension Of 1867 only the county's right.
This disposed Of the case, and the case
was given to the jury without argument,
and they returned ayerdict in favor OF the
defendant.
