In addition to the life Of Randolph by
Garland, there have appeared numerous
sketches and "reminiscences of the great

less ambitious task. No one is better
qualified than Mr. Parton to sift and
digest all these vagrant contributions TO
the history of the man and his time; and to
give us, for the first time, at once more
accurate conception of this eccentric
character and of the part he played during
an interesting period of our national life.

The Ladies Book-Reception Last Night n
Great Success.
The book.reception held last night at
the rooms of the Woman's Christian AS
ISOLATION, on Main street between Sixth
and Seventh, was very decided success.
st these receptions, which are given
for the purpose of increasing the library
of the association, each visitor Is ex-
pected to bring book, and as the crowd
was quite large last night of course the
number of volumes for the library was
largely added to.
The parlors of the house used by the
association were very prettAy decorated
with ferns and eyergreens, and Mr.
Herbert Rees furnished music for the
occasion. The piano had been kindly
loaned bp Mr.. Manly b. Ramos.
1t is the purpose Of the ladies, under
whose management these books are
placed to establish free-circulating Ii
brary for the benefit of the poorer
classes OF girls in the city and also a
reading-room. AT present the Woman g
Christian Association provides COM
Portable home for nineteen girls, and
they are furnished with all the comforts
that make home pleasant.
Mrs. Belle Mcknight, who is matron
of the institution, is very attentive to
the wants of the young ladies, who are
furnished board at the very moderate
sum of 81 per week.
So largely has the work of this lnstl-
tuition increased that the officers of the
organization have purchased two large
houses on Franklin street near Eighth,
and the association Will move into these
new quarters as soon as the lease on the
present house expires.

QUESTION OF A SALE.
A CASE INVOLVING REAL ESTATE
TRANSACTIONS YEARS APART.
The Agents Restrained from Returning
the Purchase money for Certain West
Nain-strcet Property,

Judge Wexford yesterdsd granted an
Injunction to the West-End Land and
Improvement Company restraining
Messrs. j. Thompson Brown & Co.
from returning to Mrs. s. l.. Mayo the
purchase-money paid for certain piece
of land and from relieving Mrs. Mayo
from the purchase.
The company gave bond in the sum
OF 900, with Mr.. James Fl. Dooley as
security.
WHAT THE BILL SAYS.
The bill filed in the case asking the
Injunction states that in May, 1890,
Messrs. Brown It Co., as agents for the
West-End Land and Improvement Com
pany, sold to Mrs. l.. s. Mayo, 80 feet
OF land on Main street near Strawberry,
in Henrico county, for the sum of 80, 900.
1t is further alleged that the deed was
signed by the company and turned over
TO the real estate agents, and that Mrs.
Mayo paid the cash purchase-money re-
quired and gave notes secured by q
deed of trust for the balance, all OF
which are now in the hands OF Brown &
Co.
A FORMER SALE INVOLVED.
The bill states that the defendants
held the money and notes and threaten
to break the sale because they claim that
some three years ago they sold an old
wooden building on the lot.
The company says that the records
have been searched and nothing Of any
such sale found, and that it would there
fore be void, as they were purchased
without notice.

Judge waddiu Not Surprised.

Judge Waddill seems not to have been
astonished at the result of the elections
in this country on Tuesday. The defeat
of the Republican party he attributes to
three causes. The first is the failure OF
Congress to repeal the civil-service law.
which was demanded by Republicans !;
secondly, the failure to pass the force
bill after that measure was proposed
and thirdly, the passage Of the McKin-
ley bill ut an inopportune time.

His Suit on Account of Street Grading
Being TFied-Other Matters.
A case involving some very nice ques-
tons and fraught with special interest
TO those intrusted with the management
of municipal affairs and the making of
city laws is on trial in the City Circuit
Court before Judge Wexford.
1t is a suit brought by Major Leigh
r. Page against Messrs. Preston Belyin,
j. Taylor Stratton, Lewis d. Crenshaw,
w. L. Cutshaw, ON. Goodwin, and Ii.
NJ Airport for 81. 900 damages.
Major Page lives at the corner OF
Fifth and Grace streets, and claims that
his property was injured by the change
OF grade on Grace street.
OF the defendants the three first
named are members Of Council Commit
tee on Streets, Colonel Cutshaw is the
City Engineer, and Messrs. Goodwin &
Airport the contractors who paved the
sidewalk when the street grade was
lowered.
SLOW PROGRESS
The trial begun soon after Judge
Wexford assembled the bench yesterday
morning, and when late in the afternoon
the court adjourned over until this
morning only three witnesses had
been examined. These were Major
Page and Mr.. Charles U. Will
liams for the plaintiff. and Colonel
w. z. Cutshaw, for the defence.
The taking OF testimony will probably
consume tho whole OF to-day. This
morning part OF the committees record
will be produced as evidence. This is to
show what written memoranda WAS made
by the clerk when the committee de-
cided to recommend the work as adj
vised by Colonel Cutshaw, and WHIST
was the report made 10 the Council.
