THE TALCOTT CASE.
Judge Thayer's Decision in tho Con-
tested Election Case.

uukO DcCtSloh III lHo SOHs
tested Election Case.
Judge Thayer, of the superior court,
at Hartford yesterday, handed in de-
cision in the contested election case Of
Talcott versus Philbrick. Mr. Talcott
was defeated by one vote in the seventh
ward for alderman. Judge Thayer
rules that all the ballots cast in the
ward marked "citizens' ticket" are void
and cannot be counted, on the ground
that the law says that a ballot shall bear
on it's face nothing but the names Of
candidates. the offices to be filled and
the name Of the political party issuing
the ballot. He thinks there was no such
party as citizens" party, and that
the tickets were issued with intent to
deceive voters. The case will undoubt-
eddy go to the supreme court. If that
body sustains Judge Thayer's ruling,
over 800 republican votes cast in the
recent city election will be thrown I, ut,
and the democratic city officers will be
declared elected.

Destined to Become One OF the Best
Towns fin this Section,

One of the best locations for man
ufacturing town in Southwest Vir-
ginia is Richards on the Clinch Val
ley Division OF the Norfolk and West
ern Railroad. The town is situated
thirty five miles west of Graham, ir
Tazewell county, and the site is a,
beautiful sweeping valley, one half q
pile wide and six miles long
The Clinch Valley Coal and Iron
Company own the property and are
pursuing course which will make
the town leading manufacturing
centre.
Coal and iron are found respective
ly within three and two miles of the
town, and their close proximity in
large quantities gives Richards, I'M
surpassed advantages in the produc-
tion of iron at low cost.
The company at present is erecting
q handsome moderne-quipped hotel
to cost $4,000, and the Norfolk and
Western Railroad, having faith in the
towns future, have erected two
handsome structures at the place; one
a stone freight depot and the other u
stone passenger depot.
The Cllnch Valley Company are
also erecting q fine bank and post
Office building, and a magnificent
edifice to be used as main offices for
the company.
They have already expended S175,-
600 in making improvements in Rich
lands and are ready to subscribe
100000 to industrial enterprises to
be started.
A rolling mill for the town is under
contract, and other industries will
soon follow.
AS soon as 5000, 900 worth OF lots are
sold the company propose to double
the price Of lots Immediately, and
will withdraw the balance from the
market.
There is no doubt, Judging from
the men who are at the back of ii
and its natural advantages, that Rich,
lands will become good-sized manu-
featuring town.

lent company will appear at Mana

The cosy little family opera theater
was packed to the doors last night,
and judging from the amount OF
laughter, Over the Garden Wall' had
surely caught on. This company is
far above the average. In fact, every
member may be called an artist. The
play, of course, is light, with only
enough plot to make it interesting.
But it is full OF fun, replete with
sparkling and catchy songs, duets,
&c. The scenery and properties car
ried by this company are new; In
short, it is as complete q comedy as
one wishes to see, and their business
will surely be large.
