IMPORTANT DECISION
4 Maryland Court Defines the
Nature of Land Option.

HAGERsrowN, Md, May al Special
"A case in which considerable interest
has been taken by the people of Iagers-
town was decided by Judge Alvey yes
terday. 1t involved the construction of
an option obtained upon some land near
the town by the IIagerstown Mining,
manufacturing and Land Improvement
Company. On the 22nd Of March, 1890,
the Land Improvement Company en-
tered into an agreement with Alfred V.
Barr for the purchase of his farm, con-
tanning 100 acres of land, near Hagers-
town, with the modification in the con.
tract that the improvement company
promised to pay Mr.. Barr one hund red
dollars cash per acre when the land was
sold by the Improvement company, at
which time Mr.. Barr agreed to give n
good and sufficient deed for the land To
such parties as the improvement COM
pany should direct. Mr.. Barr received
no consideration for the option, and one
clause Of the contract stated that the
contract was to be void after April |,
1891.
The Improvement company did not
sell tho land, but on the 2lst of March
they took to Mr.. Barr $4,000 in gold
ana requested him to make deed to
them, which he refused to do. On the
nth of last November Mr.. Barr filed n
bill in equity. alleging that the con-
tract was void because it created n
cloud on the title of the land, and was
not binding on the improvement com
rany for tho reason that they gave no
consideration for their option on the
land. The bill prayed for removal of
the cloud on the title and that the do
PENDANTS be restrained from using tho
contract. The court in passing upon
the question said that tho sale was not
an absolute one; that under the con-
tracts The improvement company was
simply acting as the agent of Mr.. Barr
and could not enforce the specific per-
fernando Of the contract.
by Offering to pay tho purchase
money the defendants treated tho farm
as sold to them, but this they could not
%. IhlS was not the contract, and the
defendants have no power to change it.
The agreement to be such as may be
specially enforced, must be- at the time
it was made, reasonable and fair, and
not subject 70 the objection OF want of
mutually of obligation. This agree
ment by its own limitations has become
null and void from the inherent defects
In the agreement. From tho COM
mencement it was not enforceable by
court Of equity, and therefore it
should not be allowed to rest as cloud
upon the title of plaintiff. 81 will sign
decree declaring the agreement null
and void and that the defendant be re-
strained from any attempt to use it,"
said Judge Alvey.

Element Ahoat ut Richmond.

Element Afioat ut Richmond.
RICHMOND, Va, May Especial =
1t looks now as if the Virginia debt is
to be settled at last. Governor Nc
Kinney today received letter from
tho New York committee on the Vir-
ginia debt asking for an interview,
which the Governor granted. 1t is
probable that, in this interview, tho
Olcott committee desire to explain to
Governor Mckinney the practical as
poet of the plan agreed upon by tho
committee several months ago, and
which, it is said the foreign council of
bondholders has approved.
This afternoon Senator Henry Wick
ham, member of tho Legislature dcbt
commission, and Mr.. Thomas Martin, of
Albermarle, a member of tho Demo-
cratic Executive Committee, had a long
talk with tho Governor. 1t is under
stood that the debt question was dis
cuSScu. The resolution under which
the legislative debt commission was
raised does not authorize those gentle-
mon to consider any proposition exceed
ing the terms Of the Riddleberger act.
The question though, is whether it is
intended to limit the commission to
original act as it has been amended in
recent years. If it construed to mean
tho latter it will make difference of
about six million dollars, the amount Of
the outlawed coupons under the Wick
ham act. SO it will be seen that there
Is difference in the construction placed
upon the meaning of tho Riddleberger-
act. The indications are favorable that
some understanding will DO reached as
q result of this interview.

ROANOKE. VA. SUNDAY MORNING, MAY 8 1891
THE CITY COUNCIL.
Matters of Interest for To-Mor-
row Nights Meeting.

The regular semi-monthlY meeting
OF the City Council tomorrow night will
hayo plenty of business to handle.
Aside from the regular monthly reports
of officers, the contemplated public i'm
provements will engage the attention of
the Council. The chairman of the fire
end water conn ittee is expected to re-
port to tho meeting on the electric fire
alarm system. While this matter will
be- discussed, it is probable that no
definite action will be taken.
The heads of the Fire Department will
probably make statement OF their
views regarding the system best adapted
to its needs. The bids of the competing
companies will be opened. The whole
subject will then probably be referred to
tho fire and water committee to make
further investigation. For some in
scrutible reason the committee of cleo
tricians who were requested to examine
into the merits of the various systems
exhibited here are not expected to re-
port until after the Council meeting,
though it would seem plain that their
expert testimony is the main thing
needed to enable the Council to arrive
quickly at conclusion.
Bids will be opened for walling Lick
run and for leasing the Opera House for
the ensuing year. Specifica lions will
be submitted for paving Jefferson
street. a resolution will probably be
introduced giving L. S. Kennedy the
privilege of taking water fro1 lick run
for street sprinkling purposes"
1t is to be presumed that the finance
committee will be cXpected to rpnOrt
progress regarding the printing of the
city bonds and negotiations for their
salt.
The sewerage question is gradually
assuming shape. The West system
has made good impression, but
tho Council will make Il rigid in
vestigation of the claims under which
the West system patents operate. The
system is in many points similar to
those used in several cities on the con-
tlnent OF Europe for many years.
