Office Seekers.

The Washington correspondent OF
the Richmond Dispatch says Since
the 4th of March there has been a
horde of office seekers here from
MARYLAND, Virginia, West Virginia
and North Carolina. Most OF them
can hope to get nothing but messen-
GERS places, as they are hardly quail
flied to go into the consular service,
or to be chiefs of divisions in the de-
partments, and ordinary clerkshlps
thew cannot hope to OBTAIN
unless they pass the CYL
service examinations. 1t is doubtful
if one in five could pass the examina-
ton. and those who get through this
mill will become gray-haired before
they are certified owing to the num-
Der ahead of them on the lists OF the
commission. Just how some OF these
southern republicans who have re-
NAMED here can pay expenses is a
deep mystery. In hot weather and
cold. brisk times and dull, they are
always about, and they make it lively
and interesting for the republican
congressman.

THE MECHANICS LIEN LAW.
a Substitute to be Offered Mt Meet
ing Scxt Thursday Night.

An enthusiastic meeting was he'd
last night at Rorer Hall by the work
ing men of Roanoke for the purpose
of considering certain changes in the
present mechanics lien law.
The meeting was organized by the
election of j. H, Ehrnan, chairnu n,
RI. G. Payne, secretary, and A. j..
Gauley, treasurer.
After the meeting was organized.
Waller Pocahontas Huff, in q brief
speech, stated the object OF the meet
ing and discussed the present mechan-
ics' lien law in all its bearing, taking
the ground that it legalizes and fos-
tiers fraud. He stated that every one
awarding contracts should be respon-
sible for the actual cost, and also that
shrewdness could take advantage of
ignorance under the present law. He
illustrated the fact that contracts had
been and were now being taken under
the present law, for one half of their
actual cost, for the purpose of de-
frauding the working men and fur
nishers of material, knowing that
parties letting the contract were
simply liable to the amount of con-
tract price; and the difference between
the actual cost of the building and
the contract price was being divided
between parties awarding and parties
receiving the contract.
Fl. J. Shomo called upon Henry
Gibson, esq, attorney for the meet
ing, to explain the mechanics lien
law as it now stands and its rela ton
to the nottingham. This Mr.. Gibson
did, stating several changes that
might be made in the interest of the
workingman, and at the same time
be beneficial to parties awarding con
tracts.
Mr.. HUFF then moved that Dir. Glib
son, in conjunction with Il committee
of three to be appointed by their
chairman, be directed to draft II bill
to be substituted for the present me-
chanics' lien law, subject to the APP
prevail of the meeting TO be held next
Thursday night at 1850 O'Clock, at the
same place Chairman Ehrman APP
pointed on this committee MessrS'
w. p. HuE. G.. ID. Keifer and r. \.
Hoal.
1t being necessary to raise funds to
defray the expenses that might arise,
a collection was taken up and 800
realized. The meeting then adjourn
ed.
This matter is being agitated in other
cities of the state, and will probably
come before the legislature very soon.

PROSPEROUS CONDITION OF
THE MACHINE WORKS.
HANDS EMPLOYED NIGHT AND DAY.
VIII Shortly gcsumc the Buildings or

Increase OF Business.

a representative of the TINES Wis
tied the Machine works yesterday,
and had the following conversation
with Assistant Superintendent Ct. r.
Henderson, one OF the most energetic
and efficient officers connected with
that important adjunct to the mate
rial prosperity of this city:
The Machine works are in q very
prosperous condition. said he, land
business is improving very rapidly,
SO much so, that it has become neces-
sary TO keep two forces Of men at
work ia the blacksmith shop and the
machine ehop-one at night and one
in the day. We expect to enlarge
the plant too, this ear, and the out
put of the works viii be largely in
creased.
I'VE have notebeen building any
passenger coaches for some time; but
in n short while we will begin the con
struction Of these, and in addition $50
or 800 other cars will he constructed
each month this year. Wealso expect
to construct four locomotives each
month during the year, and, speaking
of locomotives, the plans and specifi-
cations OF the three new ones
that were recently received by
the Norfolk SAWestern railroad com
pany from Rogers Works al Pater-
son, New jersey, were all drawn in
our drawing Office here. They are
very much like the st. Louis and
Iron mountain engine that was test
ed by the Norfolk & Western some
time ago, but are better adapted to
climbing heavy grades than that one
was Those engines would have been
built in the shops here, but for the
great press of work now on hand"
There is also another locomotive on
the way here from the Rogers Loco
motive Works.

RICHMOND, VA, January 3.-Mr.
Downing, of Clarke county. intro
duced bill in the house of delegates
today to rc-establish the whipping
post law, and punish al people con-
yicted of petit larceny after the old
fashion. Right upon the heels of
this came Il resolution from Senator
Moore providing fora special commit
tee to send for persons and papers,
ard examine that part of the audi
tors report which refers to the Grim
nal expenses of the state. The
report is just out today and
gives some startling figures. 1t
shows that the criminal expenses last
year amounted TO one-tenth of the
receipts from taxation. This is not
all. In some counties the expenses
were greater than the tax receipts.
What is most startling is that in the
ninth Congressional district the ex-
penses in criminal cases were double
TO those in the fourth. The former is
Known as the white section and the
latter the black belt and it has been
supposed that the great part of the
criminal expenses IS on account OF
negroes in the fourth. The expenses
were about go, 600, and in the ninth
about 81, 900. The senators were
boiling over, when they read this. Mr.
Moore's resolution went over till to-
morrow. when it will be discussed and
a lively time is expected if it appears
that the whites are more expensive
criminals than negroes. Mr.. Down
ing's bill will have few supporters.

A Chance Meeting OH the Cars.-Mr.
DE Row Accidentally Meets IL Man
who Assaulted His wire-Arrost of
McUarth5-Efis Statement.

While Mr.. G. De Bow. of the Vir-
GINA Packing company, was sitting in
the Shenandoah Valley train No. 4,
yesterday, waiting for it to leave for
Cloverdale, his home, a man entered
the car and took seat just in front OF
him. Mr.. DeBow scarcely noticed the
man when he first entered, but OH
looking at him n second time, it flash.
ed across his mind that the man was
Benjamin Mccarthy who attacked
Mr.. De Bows wife last November.
Mr.. De Bow at once informed Chief of
Police Brofford who, with Officer
Wooten, arrested Mccarthy after an
unsuccessful attempt on the part of
the latter to escape. When arrest
ed Mccarthy had on his person
a Smith and Wesson No. a revolver,
of which Chief Brofford relieved him.
Mr.. DeBow had been watching
every train that came into Roanoke
for several weeks past. He did not
recognize his wife's assailant when he
first entered the car, as when Mccarthy
was last seen by him he had full
beard, but since that time he has had
it cut off. The THINKS several days
ago printed an account of the at
tack ON Mrs. DeBow.
a TIMES reporter saw Mccarthy at
the city Jail yesterday and had con-
versation regarding the affair. He
says that what he did to Mrs. DeBow
was nothing more than his duty as q
father. She had hit one Of his chill
dren with stick, and he thought it
was his duty to protect them. The
reports concerning Mrs. DeBow's in
juries were very much exaggerated, he
says, and 1t wasn't his intention to do
her any injury. He only desired to
save his child from being whipped.
He had made all arrangements to
leave for Texas before the affair oc-
Cured, and his -hasty departure was
not occasioned by his desire to escape
the law, for he wasn't afraid to stand
trial for the offense.
The side Of the story is that Me-
Carthy was the aggresSor, and that
ne threw Mrs. DeBow to the ground.

out several handfuls of hair. The
