.ENDOF THE WEEK
HOW THE SCHOOLS HAVE
JARED SINCE MONDAY.
ALL ARE CROWDED 10 TIE DOORS.
No Adequate Measures of Relief OBJ
iained-ChiIdren Waiting for Proper
Accommodations Nearly Seventy
Pupils TO Each Teacher-TwO H,iid-
ings Lost.

The first week of the city schools
closed Friday afternoon, and the en-
rollment has reached nearly 1900
Many have beenh holding of, hoping
that new schools were to be opened.
But for this the attendance would
have been much larger, although
many of the rooms are already much
too full to be comfortable for teachers
or pupils. The seventeen teachers in
all the schools have an average of
nearly seventy pupils each.
In the First ward school over 600
have been enrolled. and the school is
very much crowded, while many
more want to enter. In one of the
lower grades there are over 200 pupils
under the control of one teacher
The grade is taught in halliday
schools and is about equally divided
into morning and afternoon pupils.
There are about $50 in the Third
ward school, which is not at all
crowded except in the lower rooms.
The colored children are better pro
vided for than the whites by reason
of the action CT the N. E. Church in
Offering its building at low price.
About 1926 pupils are now enrolled in
the colored schools, there being
ninety in the school opened in the
church.
The outlook for securing buildings
for the relief of the white schools IS
not as encouraging as the friends OF
the schools wish.
A few days ago two buildings could
have been secured, but the contract
for them was not closed, and they
have been sold, thus passing out OF
reach of the school board. Superin-
tendent Derr is still trying to make
some arrangement, and said last night
that he hoped to be able TO open a
school in the southwest section early
next week, though the building is not
yet definitely secured.
Mrs. Gilmer's school for young
ladies will open tomorrow with the
following teachers: Mrs. Patty L..
Gilmer, English, modern languages,
natural scienc, and drawing, Latin
and mathematics: Mrs. Lucy c..
Stuart, principal of the primary de-
partment; Miss M. G. Walthall, pri-
mary assistant; Miss Lucy Clarke, elo-
cution; Miss Mary j. Minor, music.
The prospects are good for the open
ing, and large attendance is ex-
pecred.
The Catholic parochial school will
open tomorrow morning. The Ale
grapy Institute vii! also open to-
morrow.

Railroad News afterft Has Travelled
Away from Home.

BALTIMORE. Nd, Sept. 13.-The
Baltimore and Ohio and the Western
Maryland railroad companies are re-
ported to be interested in the reor,
ganization ofthe Shenandoah Valley
and the Norfolk and Western rail
extension Of the lines to
Washington. The Western Mary
land now has a connection with the
Shenandoah Valley. and by this
route the Reading will also secure a
connection, crossing the Cumberland
Valley by the Western Maryland lines.
The Baltimore and Ohio will, it is
understood, form connection with
the Norfolk and Western at Wash
ington, such an arrangement being
valuable to the lines interested. The
Western Maryland, under its new
traffic arrangement with the Balti-
more and Ohio, will reach Washing
ton via the Belt Line, construction of
which has begun.

TO MARRY HIS VICTIM.
DIR. Garland II. Moore will Make Par
fial Amends for His vtllainy.

NASHVILLE, Va, Sept. 13.-Dr. Gar
land P. Moore was placed in jail here
Thursday night at about three o'clock
after pitiable attempt to induce the
young lady whom he had ruined to
consent to an immediate marriage.
Her mother wished time to consider
tie matter.
a large crowd was present when he
arrived. and he was very much fright
ened, as he did not know by the de-
monstration whether he was in dan
ger OF being murdered or not. He has
been visited by many friends today,
the Jail being besieged most OF the
time. His action in determining to
agree to a marriage is considered to be
the very best thing that he could have
done. and has made him hosts OF
friends among those who were very
bitter toward him. He seems to be
much relieved now that the ordeal OF
coming home and being placed IN jail
is over, especially since he has discov-
cred that his action to atone for his
wrong as best he could had been re-
ceived with such appreciation, though
friends were unable to induce either
the lady or mother to consent to q
marriage last night.
The have been diligently at work
all day and late this afternoon it was
agreed and settled that the marriage
should take place and all criminal
prosecution brought to stop. The
ceremony will be performed tomor-
row morning at the home of the lady.
As soon as the marriage ceremony
is performed DR.. Moore will be re-
leased from custody and allowed to
go wheresoever he pleases. 1t is
thought that 1e will leave at once
for the West, where he will have to
make new friends and acquaintances.
The lady is in such feeble condition
that she would be unable to accom-
pany him now, even if both so desired
The impression prevails that she will
follow him as soon as she is able to do
so, as he has promised not to desert
her again.

II see no reason for an extra session,
unless it be for the purpose of doing
something that may become necessary
concerning the State debt. If the

tending to the settlement of that
vexed question, then think it would
be necessary to convene the Legisla-

he Renounces the Republican Part
on les Secrionalfsm.

PETERSBURG, Va, Sept. 13s-Ex- \
Governor Cameron, in anopen letter
to W. s. Dashiell, of Richmond, Vas
renounces his allegiance to the Re-
publican party. After an extended
criticism of the party, in xhich ne
reckons its failure to pass the Blair
bill and makes characterization Of
it as sectional; a denunication OF
the Lodge bill, which he says is rex
garded by one section as blunder
and by the other as crime, he con-
cludes: Z
"But one thing remains in my
judgement for us to do-for men who
recognize higher duty than that
which can be expressed by party
name, and that is to free ourselves
from all part and lot with pass3y.s'
which has no VOWS too SACRED for
violation and recognizes no pledge as
too solemn to be broken.
Il cannot lend myself to opposition
to my people. IT there is no political
organization which meets the fall
measure of our approval we can at.
least leave that which violates our
every idea of right and sentiment.
Not presuming to set up for any other
man or set of men standard OF duty,
and willing to concede to every one
else that freedom of thought and ac-
tion 1 have always claimed for myself,
my resolve founded on desire to
be true to myself and my country is
to refnse all sympathy or operation
with the Republican party in it's CRU.

statement is made in well-inforrptss s.
circles here that the Baltimore and
Ohio and the Chesapeake and Ohio
will pool issues to certain extent on
matters of mutual interest in Virginia.
The Chesapeake and Ohio controls
branch line running from near Glas-
Cow, Va, to Lexington, the terminus
of the Valley branch of the Baltimore
and Ohio. From Glasgow its main
line runs almost parallel with the
Shenandoah Valley road to Buch.
anan
1t is the desire of the Baltimore
and Ohio authorities to purchase the 5
above mentioned branch with the
right to use the Chesapeake and
Ohio tracks to Buchanan. From
Buchanan the Baltimore and Ohio
proposes to build into Roanoke and
connect with the Roanoke and South
ern and Norfolk and Western, and 5
will give the Chesapeake and OhioS(
mutual advantages over its line to
Roanoke in return forthe- use. of lis
tracks from Glasgow to BuchaA "a
On this basis deal viii probably BE
entered into very soon.
In this connection, the presence in
Washington of Judge EdYaad Lau-
terback. of New York city, is cosGi6
cred significant. He is prominent in
the counsels of J. Fl. Inman, Col.
Brice, Thomas, and the other Rich
mond Terminal magnates, and it is
rumored that he is here to learn the
strength before Congress of the pro-
jects for giving the Pennsylvania rail-
road an outlet into Virginia and
across the citys water fN W.
project is supposed to be covered UNI
der the bill giving the Washington
and Western" power to acquire
right of way mo the city,
and to connect with the PennsYf-
vania's tracks near Long Bridge. tt
is supposed that this project embraces
one end of the scheme to build q road I
through Fairfax, Loudoun and Eau
quier counties to Front Royal in thea#
Shenandoah Valley The bill, how
ever, can hardly be supposed to pas
during the present session of Cod
gress.

Jumpe,, the Track.

An accident occurred on the Vinton
extension of the street railway yester-
day afternoon about 1910 o'clock. 1t
took place on a very sharp curve near
the spike mill OF the Midway Iron
Company. The dummy was running
at moderately slow rate of speed,
and fortunately the engine was not
overturned The cause Of the ac-
cident was the spreading of the rails
and the track was torn up for the dis
lance of several yards. The engine
was entirely derailed, but neither of
the coaches left the track. The train
was delayed about two hours and the
track was in order by 2:30. No one
was turt.

lip and bruises on the shoulder and
right leg. He held on to the reins
and stopped the horses before they
ran away. Just as Mr.. Tavenner was
thrown from the seat Mr.. fanny
caught him by the coat, and this
broke the fall to a considerable eX-
tent. Mr.. Tavenner went to the
Office of j. r. Hockaday and had his
