THE 6O-F0OT LAW AFFIRMED.
The Supreme Court of Appeals
Sustains II.
The Case OF Hodges Versus the seaboard
and Roanoke Railroad Finally Decided
The Court Guided by the Law, but
Seemingly Aware of Its Obstructive
Tendency-Judge Lewis Dissents.

RICHMOND, Va, March 27.-The case
OF hodges vs.. the Seaboard and Roam
oke railroad, decided in the supreme
court of appeals yesterday, is one of
great Importance to the whole State.
AS this high tribunal interprets the
law, no railroad can lay it's tracks with
in sixty feet of the dwelling house Of
any person who objects.
The court goes still further and saws
if tho tracks are already down the per-
son who is injured thereby can demand
and recover damages. Hodges owns
property on Crawford street, in Ports
mouth.
The Seaboard and Roanoke railroad
began the laying of tracks by his house
in oEder to reach the union depot.
Hodges applied to the circuit court Tor
an injunction to stop the work, but it
was refused Subsequently one of the
judges of the court of appeals granted
temporary injunction, and the case
came up on motion to perpetuate this
injunction. which was done. Judge
Lacy delivered the opinion, from which
Judge Lewis and Richardson dissented.
The ground upon which the opinion is
based is an act of the general assembly,
which provides that mo corporation or
OOhipNi Shhti lnNtQS Lu0 QWclllug
house of any person or any space within
sixty feet thereof without the consent of
the owner thereof"
In conducting his opinion, Judge
Lacy says: I'VE have little to do with
the wisdom Of the law in throwing this
line around every domicile in the land.
That is question for tho Legislature.
But when the power of tho sovereign
State is placed in the hands Of corpora
tions to go and take private property of
others everywhere without their con-
sent, it appears to me to DO a just and
salutary check upon tho large powers
granted and a modest reservation made
by the covering power of tho place
called home"
Judge Lewis, in dissenting from this
opinion, says the act of tho legislature
is an old one, and since its passage tho
cities and towns have been empowered
to grant special permission to railroad
companies. We're it not so, he says tho
law would be ridiculous, as not a city
in the State has q street so wido that
o railroad could lay its tracks sixty feet
distant from houses on either side. Tho
decisions is ono of tho most important
that has over been rendered by tho
| court.

ONE LARGE BUILDING.
The Worlds Fair VIII Place Many State
Exhibits Under One Roof.

CHICAGO, March 27.-[Speciall-It is
probable that ono large building for the
accommodation of special State exhibits
will be erected in Jackson park instead
OF two score Of similar exhibits in
separate State buildings. Heretofore
the general plan Of a majority of States
seems to have been for each to construct
special buildings.
Owing to the small appropriations
made by some of the States it was
feared buildings could not be made
sufficiently attractive to DO in harmony
with the general grandeur of the main
structures. The exclusion of State
buildings altogether is not contem-
plated, as some States have large APP
preparations and may prefer to be made
separate exhibits.

to Meet Four and HALF Per Cent. Loan.
WASHINGTON, March 27.-[Special]-
The Az per cent. loan. of which little
moro than fifty millions is now out
standing, will mature September 1st
next. The Treasury officials says there
will be no trouble whatever in meeting
it, and that it was regarded as a matter
of so little concern that il was not
thought necessary to bring it to tho at
tention of Congress. Tho Department
stands ready now to redeem these bonds
with interest to maturity and tho small
amount presented each day is taken as
an indication that the holders are in no
particular hurry to dispose of them.
Prominent officials said this afternoon
that tho department will be able to re-
deem them all on tho date OF maturity
If they shall be presented, but shat the
history OF all government loans indi-
Gates that there is no probability of
such thing as that. 1t will be found
that large amount Of these bonds will
not be presented for redemption for
many months after the interest has
ceased to run.
While the available cash balance in
ernment has about $40, OOO, 900 ad-
ditional on deposit in national banks
which can be utilized in case of neces-
sity.

The great snow-storm that has boon
sweeping over the West, blocking rail
roads and suspending business gen.
orally did not spend its force before
reaching Roanoke. When the snow
ceased falling yesterday morning it was
about four inches deep.
The only damage in Roanoke was the
slight tangling of the wires of the
telephone exchange. The storm ex-
tended up the Valley and was more
severe than here, delaying trains on the
Shenandoah Valley about three hours.
fine mist fell nearly all day yester-
day, and the cold, damp weather was
very disagresable. Snow fell again last
night for some time.
The dispatches printed below show
that the storm was severe in Washing
ton, Staunton, Harrisonburg and Win
chester.
WASHINGTON, March 27.-lSpecial =
The first signs of approaching spring
and departing winter, which became APP
parent some weeks ago in the budding
of tho trees and greenness of grass
parks, has been displaced by buster
ing snow storm which struck the CITY
early this morning, accompanied by a
strong northeast wind. The snow fell
thick and fast for awhile, but later in
the day tho downfall became rain,
which changed the snow on the streets
to slush and then carried it away. Some
OF tho snow remains, where it fell upon
grass or earth, and things have had a
decidedly wintry aspect all day. 1t
still rains tonight, vita occasional
fluces of snow. This is exceedingly
late in the season for snow to fall in
Washington, and it is altogether an I'M
usual occurrence.
The storm is believed to be the one
which had it's origin in the West two
days, and has been gradually working
its way East since then. 1t will proba.
bly, prevail on the Atlantic coast to-
night. Signal Office bulletin shows
that two storms are central this morn
ing, one in Indiana and the other off
the Carolina coast, with probability
that bad weather will be still further
increased along the Southern coast and
cause gales along the whole Atlantic
border.
The snow storm seems to be general
| in the middle states. Passengers on
incoming trains from the South report
heavy fall of snow in the Shenandoah
Valley and other parts of Virginia,

Concerning tho application of auto

trolling S7,9l5 miles of railway and
GoS,37 cars report the adoption of the
policy of equipping new freight cars
with the automatic brake, and about
10000 cars were equipped with these
brakes on January l. 1891. Besides
tho companies included in these totals
a great number of the companies have
begun the 80 of couplers and brakes,
but havo not yet adopted a definite
policy with regard to them. These

CHICAGO, March 27.-[Special "A
meeting of the sash, door and blind
manufacturers for the purpose of form
ing a general organization was held
to-day. Delegates are present from the
principal cities of the West and North
west. 1t is denied by those in atten-
dance that there is any intention of
forming trust, though it is admitted
that the object of the meeting is to
establish uniform scale of prices.
From another source it is learned
that a trust or combination is in con-
temptation. The competition of late
has, it is said, become so sharp that tho
factories are barely making expenses.
For some time Chicago manufacturers
have been quietly working the matter
up and have found that tho principal
factories in the West were willing to go
into some kind of protective organisa-
ton. Nothing was done to-day beyond
organizing tho meeting.
