Griffin, of Salem, Re-Elected
RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 10.-[Special1-
Tho reapportionment bill passed tho
house without amendment and was sent
TO the Senate, whore slight change of
wording was made and the bill passed
after tedious fight. The amendments
will no doubt be accepted by the house
Monday.
In the senate Mr.. Sands introduced a
bill allowing the Weman's Christian
temperance Union to hold property to
tho amount of 500, 600 instead OF SlO. 600
as now.
The bill passed both houses giving
Clarke and Warren counties each q
county Judge, and on Monday Richard
Henry Lee will BIO elected for Clarke,
and Giles Cooke, Jr., for Warren, agree
ably to the caucus nomination. Judges
we're elected to-day as follows: For

Dabney; Franklin, George d. Peters:
Montgomery, Walter NJ. Pierce; Roam.
ole, Wingffeld Griffin; Norfolk, Port
lock, who received the caucus nomiua-
ton over Fentress by vote OF 10 to So
The senate, under suspensio of
the rules, passed the Stubs bill, pro-
viding that all acts be printed in one
volume with single index. In the
house Saunders opposed tho bill, and
wants the public acts printed and dis
tributed as at present, private acts sep
arate, and only five hundred volumes
OF the latter. This will save the State
four thousand dollars.
AN effort is making to substitute gas
for electricity in lighting tho capitol,

dangers the building and records.

work is being done on the streets in
which there arc sewers that particular
attention be paid to the protection of
the sewers.
Mr.. Huff, public property committee,
stated that this committee had held a
meeting at which Judge Robertson,
City Engineer Dunlap, Building Inspec
tor Coleman and G. Q. Wentworth were
present. The representatives of two
different companies appeared before the
committee with plans for Jail and sta,

One Of the parties submitted plan
that would hold las prisoners which he
agreed to build for something less than
$4,000, remove the old Jail, build q
mayors office, jailor's rooms, insane
rooms, murderer rooms and rooms for
ordinary prisoners. The committee
were very much pleased with the plan.
MIR. Huff also read form of advertls-
ing for a com bined Jail and station
house prepared by Mr.. Dunlap.
Mr.. Huff moved that the public prop
erty committee be instructed to adver-
tise for plans and specifications for
erecting the new jail.
Messrs. Mcconnell, Watts and En-
gleby objected to this motion. They
thought that a plan should be adopted

1T would require more time than the
plan suggested by the committee.
The amendment of Mr.. Watts was
voted down and the motion Of Mr.. Huff
adopted.
The public property committee also
submitted q letter from Superintendent
Derr of the public schools, asking that
some early action Of Council be taken
in tho matter of concluding the pur-
chase of property for tho erection of

The last spike Of the Roanoke and
Southern railroad was driven Yesterday
afternoon at o'clock.
Winston, the manufacturing city of
North Cafolina, and Roanoke, the man
ufacturirfg city of Virginia, are now
near neighbors. Bands of steel unite
tho most progressive part Of the Old
Dominion with the most progressive
part of the Old North State.
No demonstration marked this i'm
portant event. There was no golden
spike driven by tho tender hands of
/ capitalists, and not much of an array of
railroad officials.
For a week General Manager Maslin
has been camped noar Rocky Mount,
and Engineer Newly, who has charge
OF the construction, has been on the
line pushing the work with all possible
vigor.
The two tracklaying parties, the one
from the north and tho other from the
south, met just one milo and a alf
north of Rocky Mount yesterday aftcr-
noon, The connecting link was made,
the last rails were put in place and tho
last spike driven by the well-direc ted
blows of two muscular negroes.
Major Newly returned to tho CITY
yesterday afternoon, bringing tho good
news with him.
The officials of tho road preferred
that the last work be done quietly, but
Roanoke is getting ready to give vent
to her rejoicing over this Important
event in her history in no uncertain
way.
All that remains to be done now be-
fore the trains from hero to Winston,
N. c., and Charleston, S. c., arc put
on regular schedule, is the ballasting
Of the road.
The indications are now that Presi
dent E;ies will easily realize his hope
to have trains running into Roanoke OF

powering tho Speaker to appoint the

lowing change of tho membership of

ship thereof. Mr.. McMillin made a
brief statement in explanation OF the

mlttee on ways and means was increased
from thirteen to fifteen because
since the number had been fixed at
thirteen there was large increase in
the membership of the house.
Tho committee on Quadro cent cnnial
had been increased from nine to eleven
and similar increase had been made in
tho committee on immigration. The
committee on Indian depreciation claims
had been abolished for the reason that
at The last Congress the law had been
passed submitting these claims to tho
courts. The name of the committee on
commerce had been changed to the com
mittee on interstate and foreign oom-
merce.
Formerly in event of tho death of n
chairman, the second member sue
ceeded to tho Office. This was changed
by giving the appointment of tho chair
man to tho Speaker.
Mr. Springer suggested that tho des-
ignation OF the quadrocentennial com
mltteo should be changed to committee
on Columbian exposition. Mr.. McMil-
I'm locuiarly remarked that it might be-
called tho committee on the Chicago

estion was agreed to. The report was
then adopted.
