COLONEL GORDON COULD NOT FINISH
Too Unwoll to Complete His Argument in
the Bette Lewis Thomas Case.

The argument in the case involving the
disposition Of the large estate OF the late
william A. Thomas had TO be suspended
YESTERDAY on account of the indisposltion
of Colonel w. ". Gordon. of counsel for
the plaintiff. Bette Lewis, who was
making the concluding speech.
When Judge FirZhugh, of the Chancery
Court, assembled the bench In the supreme
Court room at 10 o'clock Judge William
J. Robertson continued his argument for
the defence and spoke for half an hour.
He was followed by Colonel Gordon, who.
after addressing the Court for about an
hour and a half stated that he was not
feeling well and asked that a fifteen min
utes recess be taken This Judge Fltzhugh
readily consented to grant. At the expira-
ton Of that time Colonel Gordon was no
better, and Judge Fitzhugh adjourned
court until Monday morning,
Colonel Gordon was quite hoarse and sui
ferng from an asthmatlc affection. lie
will doubtless be able TO resume his argu-
ment tomorrow morning.
This is one of the most protrac6d eases
Judge FitZhu0h has ever had before him.
The argument was begun by Mr. Edgar
Allan Wednesday. June 4th. who spoke
seven hours. and since then the court has
been in session daily Except Sunday from
10 O'Clock until 2. Colonel Gordon ls the
closing speech.
It will probably be some time before a
decision is rendered. as the record Is volu-
minous. The dispositions Of one witness
alone contain nearly four hundred inter-
rogatories and answers.
Mr.. Tom +. Owen. of Manchester, made
stenographic report of the speeches OF
Judges Shapes and Robertson. The former
makes 40 600 words.

Judging from the suffering of the poor
humanity yesterday and the way people

that the Thermometer must have reached

great many cases it was some peoples own
fault. and well will you acknowledge II.

PuBLIC-scHOoL BOOKS.
Additional Information In Regard to the
Action of the Board of Education.

The State Board Of Education in 1878
adopted several series OF textbooks for use
in the public schools of the state for four
years (is7s. 1882. but left to county and city
school boards the power OF determining
which of tho books adopted should be used
in the respective counties and critics. The
BOARD of Education in Office from 1892 to
1886 pursued o similar course Tor the four
wears. SO that in 1886, when the matter
came before the board for action, variety
of books were in use under the policy OF
preceding boards. Among the BOOKS which
were then or had benin use IN the schools
were MeC,ufTev's, Holiness. and lndepend-
ent Spoilers. McGuney's, Holiness, aud In
dependent Readers. Maury's, Appleton's,
and Eclectic Biographies. Harvey's Swim
TONS. and Holiness GraDrnars, Eclectic.
Holiness. Baine's. and Deny's Histories
United States. Magill's History Of Virginia.
Yenable's. Davies d Pecks, and Whites
Arithmetics. Webster's and Worcester's
Dictionaries.
From this list the board in 1886 selected
the following single series OF BOOKS Tor uni
form use in the public schools for four
wears beginning August /, 1886 McGuf-
fey's Revised Speller. McGuHey's Revised
Readers. Naurv's Revised Biographies,
Uarvev's Revised Grammars, Holiness
New History of the United States. Magilrs
History of Virginia Nenablos Arithmetics'
Worcestor's Dictionaries.
While this one-book list was adopted the
board authorized county and city school
boards to continue to use any or all OF the
books Then IN uso IN the schools, or 10
adont anv or al of the books on the one
book list prescribed. If any change is
made the books on the prescribed list were
required TO be adopted.
Hence. under the action OF. preceding
boards. the Board of Education now IN
Office found books on both the lists herein
mentioned IN use in tho schools. The
present board has therefore simply restored
10 the list Of 1886 books which are or have
been in use IN the schools and county ana
city school boards may continue to use the
books now in use or may select any Of tho
books on tho State list II any change is
made books on the State list are required
TO be adopted
