quainted with the location of the Offices and
the movements Of clerks and other employees

mont avenue, had his pocket book, containing
$50 and some letters, stolen from his room in
the department. He left the watch in the
room and was absent only q few minutes be-
fore he returned and discovered that his purse
was gone. Mr.. A. r. johnson of No. 10ll 5
street, who is employed in the carpenter shop
OF the War department, was robbed of a valu-
able gold watch yesterday. The watch was
stolen from the carpenter shop. The police

An Interesting Railroad Decision.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Sept. A special from
Keyser, VIVA, says: Judge Armstrong fled
his decision today in the case of Shaw agt the
West Virginia Central railroad. This case in
VOWED the applicability TO the West Virginia
Central of that part of West Virginia's consti-
tuition providing that stockholders have the
right to cumulate their votes and give one can
didate as many votes as the number of d.
rectors multiplied by the number of his shares
shall equal. W. Irvine Cross was elected by
the emulation Of the stock represented by the
Shaw interest. When the election was held he
was a stakeholder, but the stock standing in
his name had not been transferred on the COM
pany's books. Judge Armstrong holds that
the cumulative voting applies to the charter of
the West Virginia Central, although the orig
inal charter antedated the constitution. He
also held that, the stock not being transferred
on the books, Cross was ineligible as director
The railroad company set up the connection Of
Cross with the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
also Is ground of disqualification, but Judge
Armstrong holds that such connection does not
disuualify him.

steer for one or two high rings Of lights
that seem to hang in the air, 50 high are

Beneath the domes wherein t'kse lights
are hung are spacious circulaI rooms ex-

look upon. Sometimes it is expensive to
look upon them when the ball goes round,
for they are gambling rooms. The ooms
are attractive and are visited nightly by
hundreds of men, not all of whom are
by any means professional gamblers.
they arc the centers of life after ten
o'clock, and remain so until the circles
of light above them pale in the growing
