request the Pres dent OF the Board OF Al

tanned by vote; but because IT was thought
that IL would have to be built OF brick, and

Council. MIR. Myers has since telegraphed
that he will guarantee 10 put the building
up OF stone, and for the sum Of 100000.

premium Cor the first choice OF plans TO

These two plans will he submitted TO the

II here appears that in the election OF
1889 the Coalition majority in these six
feen counties was 2,642, and that in the late
election they lave Democratic majority
of / 0O3. making Democratic gain OF 4,54j,
which is about one fourth OF the De

one fifth OF the total Democratic gain
as compared with the last election. These

due TO division in its ranks which had

Damages for a Railroad Employee.


The case OF Goodman Us. The Danyile
Railroad Company, recently tried in the
City Circuit Comt-Judgc w. W. Crump
and Bev. T. Crump, Esq, for plaintiff
ard Judge Hunter Marshall for defend
ant-and resulting in a verdict for plain
tih, is OF more than ordinary importance.
Goodman was conductor OF freight train
on the Danyille railroad, and had charge Of
a train which left Danyile about 3 z. NJ on
the 18th OF April last. As his train neared
Manchester, about 2:30 O'Clock the next
morning. he ascendcd the ladder on the
freight car next TO the cabOOse ear, in order
to pass over the top Of ms train 10 the en-
gine. The ladder, which was an old one
and had been repaired, broke with him,
and he was thrown OF, fortunately falling
outside the track. AZ the point where he
fell there was an emhankment, perhaps
twenty feet high. at The bottom OF which
he was found by ms brakeman, who went
back TO look for HIM when he was missed,
i'm an insenSible condition. He remained
unconscious until 8 O'Clock the next morn
ing. and was confined 10 his bed for five or
six weeks. suffering intense agony from an
injury in that most sensitive point Of the
human frame the spine. In the opinion
OF his attending physician his injury is OF
such a nature rs win in all probability per-
manently disable him from undertaking
any arduOus work.
The iuy gave $500 damages.
There Is motion pending TO set aside the

A Recent Decision.

The case OF TrOth rs. Robertson, re-
Gently decided by the supreme court, Is Of
some importance.
The principal question in this cause arose
on the construction of sections 20, 81. %, %,
and II, Code Of Virginia. 1873. chapter liz.
Under this statute certain lands were
sold by the Circuit Court for the county Of
Prince William. and bonds taken a. usual
for the deferred instalmcnts OF purchase
money. Subsequently suit was brought on
these bonds on the common law side OF the
same court. The action was defended by
the purchaser on the ground that the court
by which the sale was decrecd had no iu-
risdiction 10 decree it, and that the sale
and bonds taken under il were null aud
void. For the appellant it was insisted
that to give the court jurisdiction 10 sell
lands under this statute there must be not
merely Il contingent remainder (Which was
the case here), or some contingent interest
in the land, but there must exist in il de-
feasible estate OF some kind. C., an estate
liable to be cut short before its natural ter
mnatiOn-the matter Of dcieasance being
the particular contingency named in the
statute.
The appellee insisted that the object of
the statute was TO strip from property the
fetters imposed on it by contingent limita-
tion, thus mixing IT, sale and transfer easy
and safe; that this policy extended 10 dH
contingent estates, whether absolute or de-
feasible; that the statute belonged 10 class
known as remedial acts, and was therefore
TO be literally construed; and that 10 sus-
tain the jurisdiction OF the court making
the sale would do no violence to the Ian
JudJe OF the act, while it would be in exact
consonance with its spirit.
Other points were presented in the argu-
ment, but the court, resting its decision on
this one. deemed it unnecessary to consider
them. Ii held that the court had iurisdic-
tion to decree the sale; that the bonds OF
the purchaser taken Hereunder were valid.
and that the purchaser got a good title as
against the parties 10 the suit.
The ease is important as being one Of
first impression in this State, the statute
under which il arose never hqving been
construed in this aspect since its passage,
March IL, 1853.
