Judge Z. @. Minor, Of the Henrico
county Court, has made decision re-
losing to consider the application for
granting license 10 keep bar-room
because the certificate of the treasurer
that the amount Of the tax had been
PAID in money was not produced by the
applicant. The applicant filed an aft
davit that he had rendered coupons to
the treasurer, who refused to receive
them. The Court held that the ques-
ton as TO whether the coupons were
genuine or not could not be considered
ID this proceeding, the treasurer not
being party to it. The proper reme-
dy for the applicant would be to take
legal steps against the treasurer to re-
quiIe him to give the certificate required
by law, and that the Court, under the
statute, could not consider the question
OF granting the license until the certifi-
cate of the treasurer was produced.
A similar case to the above was de-
cided by Judge Atkins, of the Hastings
Court, a few days ago, when Mr.. Haar
applied for q liquor license. Judge At
kins refused to grant the license on the
ground that until the petitioner could
produce the proper receipt and certif-
cate from the Treasurer and collector
of revenue the court did not have ju-
risdiction; that petitioners proper rem
edy, if any, was against the officers.

NORFOLK, May Is, 1856.
This morning as the attendant at
the Portsmouth Jail entered one Of the
cells, in which were confined three ne
William II. Riddick alias Nash,
Rufus Floyd, and Tom Jones--in order
to clean up the apartment, he was set
upon and overpowered, the prisoners
knocking him down with an iron bar.
The prisoners then made their way to
the outer door of the corridor,
smashed the lock with the iron
bar, and escaped to the jail-yard.
They quickly scaled the wall and
jumped into Washington street, aud
then made rapidly for the open coun-
try. The jailer, Mr.. William II.
Witty, started in pursuit with Deputy
Sheriff John Lesner, both on horse
back. The fugitives were overhauled
on the Deep Greek road, about three
miles from the city, just as they were
about to enter the Gum-Pond swamp,
where they would have been secure.
The negroes were covered by the pis-
tolls of the officers and threatened with
death if they did not submit. They
were very surly and defiant, bat We're
finally brought to terms, and doggedly
submitted to be tied and taken back to
Jail. Riddick has one year to serve in
the penitentiary, and the others twelve
months to serve in Jail. The ringing
of the Jail bell and alarm caused quite
an excitement on the streets.
Miss Margaret Collins, q well-known
and much-respected lady of Ports
mouth, fell dead this morning at her
home, on Middle street, from paralysis.

THE EIGHTHOUR SYSTEM.
Manufacturers Tired of Its Working
The Situation I'm the Lumber
District.
[By telegraph to the Dispatch.l


CHICAGO, May ia special dis
patch from Grand Rapids, Michigan. says:
Much dissatisfaction exists among furni-
ture- manufacturers here over the working
OF the eight-hour - stem, and mere Is strong
talk Of going back TO ten hours. Two or
three factories have already done so, and
others have the matter under al yisement.
The Worden factory, employing leo men, on
Saturday gave notice mat the men must,
commencing Monday, work ten hours or not
at all. Only about a dozen men returned
to work. The BiSsell c8rpet-sWeeper fac-
tory. employing $50 men, has returned to
the ten-bour sy stem, and large proportion
OF the company 8 employees are on strike.
The furniture workers are nrm In demand
ing the eight hOur day.
The box-makers made an effort yester
day TO settle their differences with their
employers 10y proposing 10 return 10 Work
at eight hours work for eight hours pay.
The manufacturers refused To accept the
terms Tie situation among the metal
woi keTs remains the same. and there ID
very little prospect OF q settlement. The
mouldeH, who have strong organization,
are very obstinate and will not return to
work unless their terms Az conceded. IL is
estimate that about 1000 metal-workers.
including the mOulders, are engaged In the
strike.
The situation In the lumber district re-
mains substantially as IL was yesterday.
The men say, when questioned individually,
that the mass Of the rank and file are IA
vOrable TO returning TO work on the old
basis. but are controlled by few leaders
who insist on prolonging the strike. The
employers have determined 10 walt until
Tomorrow or Thursday. and then If the Old
employees do not return to work they Will
call IN new men.
At Pullman all the men excepting two
hundred and seyenty-Odd cabinet-makers
returned 10 work this morning at the old
wages aud the same hours as heretofore.
The nail-mills at Cummings started up
this morning for the first time in two
weeks. Superintendent McCloud said he
had thirty men ut work. and expected TO
have half force 10. morrow. intimidation,
ne says, Is preventing many from going to
work. Warrants have been sworn out
against thirty i've of the stri kers.
