Democratic Primary
II Is now nearly twenty years since
municipal candidates have been nomi-
mated in any other manner, andit Will pro-
baby be remembered that the plan adopted

Thus matters stood until February <. 1853,
when the General Assembly passed "an act %
incorporate tho Virginia state Agricultural ana
Mechanical society," which Will be again referred
10 presently.
Prior 10 the passage OF this act, il seems plain
that the "lfe members" we're tho absolute
owners Of ,hc property acquired by tho Virginia
state Agricultural SO,iety. There was nothing
either IA the deed or deeds whereby tho sixty
four acres Of lanI were conveyed g. the society.
or in the acts OF tho General Assembly whereby
tho society ya4 crosted a boly corporate, which
IN any way restricted their absolute dominion
over this property.

NOT BIG ENOUGH FOR HIM.
Mr.. Carnegie Couldn't Afford TO Run
the IL. and q.

BALTIMORE, April s.-"Without foundation" !"
is the general comment of business men when
they are asked about a revival OF a report
that Mr.. Andrew Carnegie will soon succeed
Mr.. Mayer as president of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad. lit is too foolish to talk
about" exclaimed Mr.. Enoch Pratt. the close
friend of Mr.. Carnegie. To think that MIR.
Carnegie would relinquish a business of
S50.000.000 a year to come 70 Baltimore and
manage a road is preposterous.
This revival of a report that change is about
to take place in the presidency OF the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company is probably due 10
an effort being made in Ohio TO organize a new
railroad, to be known as ''The Carnegie
Road" The Pittsburg and Western Rail-
road, which runs from Pittsburg, Pa. TO
Akron. Ohio, has purchased the Toledo and
Delphos narrow gauge road. which is finished
from Carey to Delphos. The track will be made
standard gauge and extended TO Chicago. IL is
proposed TO build from Plymouth TO Findlsy,
and then, according to the program. TO pur-
chase the American Midland system between
Findlsy and Ottawa, and which is graded as far
as Fort Wayne, lad. then by building a short
distance make a new trunk line between Pitts
burg and Chicago that will be fifty miles shorter
than any route now connecting those iva
cities.

WHY MEMBERS REJOICED TO-DAY.
The Bill to Pay Salaries Borrowed by
SilcOtt Passed by the House.

The members OF the House have received the
happy tidings that the Department of Justice
would not take an appeal from the decision Of
the Court of Claims placing the responsibility
upon the government for the loss of members
salaries through the defalcation of Slcott.
The papers in the case wero submitted to
Secretary Window on Friday for an opinion as
to the advisability of taking an appeal.
Mr.. Payson saw the Secretary this
morning, and was told by him that
the department was willing to let the
decision of the court stand uncontested. Mr..
Payson brought this good news to his fellow
members and there was general rejoicing.
Immediately after the naval committee
got through with its bill Mr.. Adams
called up the bill to appropriate
money to pay the November salaries,
which had been defeated in the House and
upon which was pending a motion to recon-
slider. Mr.. PaysOn then announced to the
whole House what he had already told many of
his colleagues The vote was then taken on the
reconsideration, hardly more than half dozen
voices being raised against it, while
the yeas were volume. The vote was then
taken on the bill, resulting l60 in the affirm
stive and Is in the negative. The bill was
then passed and the members will get their
pay when the Senate passes on the matter.
