READING, March 9.-About one week
ago there was a ripple of excitement among
the Reading employees when about 20 of the
men at the shops were discharged. That
surprise was nothing, however, to that when
the men quit work last Saturday evening.
and 120 of them were notified their services
would no longer be required. Of about 80
fires in the blacksmith shops only four are
in operation this morning.
There is a great deal of indignation ex-
pressed in the Eleventh ward, where the
citizens and discharged employees say this
action is the result OF the recent Council
election, when the Reading was worsted in
the ward. There is movement on foot by
some of the discharged men to secure the as
sistance of the men discharged a week ago, and
raise sufficient money to enter suit against the
company to compel it to refund the money the
men have been compelled to pay into the
Keller Association. II is also rumored on the
streets to-day that number of the men en-
ployed in the machine shops will be suspended
this week

w. L. Douglass Wants $4,000 for Helping
to Break a Will.
w. L. Douglass yesterday entered suit against
James Edward Myers. convicted of killing his
aunt to recover $4,000. The plaintiff states
that Robert Douglass died in April 1883, leav-
ing as next of kin and heirs at Law his daughter
Margaret Douglass and grandson James Ed
ward Myers. By will he bequeathed his es-
tate valued at Sl60 900 to his sister Maria We'd
dell, with the exception of a few minor be-
quests. The will was believed to be fraudu-
lent, but Miss Douglass and Myers had no
money to contest it. They went to the plain
tiff, and he agreed for 25 per cent of what
might be recovered to pay the expenses of the
contest.
He did so, and conducted the contest and the
will was set aside, Miss Douglass and Myers
receiving the property. Myers was a minor
when the agreement was made. but ratified it
when he became of age. He frequently
promised to pay, but never did, and the suit is
now brought for the amount.

Ii is fitting that the mortal remains OF
the dead chieftain should moulder into
dust among those of th9 host OF ragged
veterans inferred 70 Hollywood who
fought with him for freedom and right,
and it is equally appropriate that his i'm
mortal glory should be exempllted on the
same spot where Washington and other
heroes perpetuate their own and Firglnia's
renown.
Has il never occurred to you what an IN
comparable site for the Davis memorial
would be the spot on which stands that
SQUAT and ancient relic called The Gov
ernors MansionY"
Do not let us make any more mistakes
of this sort. Think. for instance. how
well Lee would look in the centre OF Mon

he neither deserves nor adorns.

Public Roads.
tn ne Editor of the Dispatch:

Aside from o good financial system.
there are few things which more affect the
material prosperity of people than good
roads. The country IS but little. II any,
more interested IN this matter than the
towns and cities, for whatever benefits the
former equally promotes thu welfare or
the latter. IL this be So then there is no
injustice in making both contribute TO the
attainment of the desired end. am con-
WINGED that If we ara to have much better
roads than we now have O part OF the
work must be done by the State. Accord
ingly, | have for long time advocated the
following plan: Let the Legislature pass
law designating the Board OF Public
Works. or, if preferable, appoint q state
commissioner of roads, whose duty II shall
be TO divide the able-bodied male
conyicts in the penitentiary into as many
companies as may be worked to the great
est advantage, and the State into CORE
spending number Of road districts. 10
each one of these road districts o compe.-
tent surveyor, who should be q civil engl'
neer, should be appointed and company
OF conyicts assigned TO him. With these
ho should be required to work on such
roads as may be designated by the Board
of Public Works or commissioners or
roads, the roads to be taken in the order
of their importance. Each surveyor
should be furnished with the most I'M
proyed machinery and tools for PERFORM
ing the work in the best possible manner,
and all should be done under State super
vision and at State expense.
Under this plain it would not be many
years before all the most important roads
in the State would be put in permanently
good condition, and then they could oe
kept so by the counties through which they
pass.
l have been a surveyor of roads for many
wears. and am convinced from observation
that one of the greatest disadvantages OF
the present system is the impossibility Of
getting overseers with the knowledge ana
skill necessary TO work the roads properly.
From this cause alone most OF the money
and labor nov expended are wasted. 4;
| the plan I suggest were adopted u wouid
not be long before every community wouiu
| have a model road to work by, and the
county oyerseers would be educated to q
proper knowledge Of the science OF road
making.
AN over this land there Is an cutlery
against convict labor coming into compe-
tition with honest labor. Ii this labor
were employed in the manner designated
| il would efectually silence this COM
| plant, and besides relieve honest labor OF
| what is now heavy burden and tax.
| Dirt roads are of more service TO the
naonla at large than railroads. l.there-

| Jecislature 10 this matter, bearing always
In mind that the lao itself viii never work
