Richmond & Danville r. r

RICHMOND, VA, Aug. 16.-If the friends
of General Malone seriously entertained
hope that he would be appointed the
permanent receiver of the Richmond
and Danville, Judge Bond dissipated it
almost in breath today. The Judge
entered an order this forenoon making
Messrs. Reuben Foster and T. w. Huide>
koper the present receivers, permanent
receivers of this property. When the
receivership case came up today the
counsel representing the Richmond and
Danville and other interests submitted
a motion to continue it until September.
This the court overruled and announced
the continuance of the temporary as
permanent receivers. The case attracted
a great deal of attention, not only in f.
nancial, but in political circles as well.
The association of Mahone's name with
the application of receivership made the
case of special interest to the politicians.
The only personal friend of Malone rec
ogniZed by the reporters among the
large gathering of attorneys was ex>
Judge Edmund Waddel, of Henry coun
ty, member or the Generals Executive
Committee. If Mahone's friends il.
tended pressing him for the receivership
the action of Judge Bond in quickly
lisposing of the motion for contin-
lance cut off any hopes for him. No
'eference was made to him or indeed
my other competitor against the gentle
men appointed.

in passenger earnings, but also in the
rate per mile, while freight traffic increas-

mile. To meet the demand of the heavy
export traffic, new freight and passenger
piers and increased yards have been com

FORCED TO MARRY.
/ Sensational County Court Trial.

A Sensational County Court Trial
One Of the most sensational trials that
has taken place in Botetourt County
Court for a number Of years was that of
the breach of promise case of Miss Jen-
ME Camper VS.. Henry Il. Goode The
trial consumed four days, quite large
number of witnesses being summoned,
nearly all of them for the prosecution.
The trial, which is the first case of a like
character ever tried in this county, Gre
ated great deal of interest and at
tracted large crowds. The defendant
was examined before a magistrate in
April last, and was sent on to the grand
jury, his case coming up at the recent
term of the court and resulting in con
viction, the jury giving the defendant
two years in the penitentiary.
The Commonwealth was ably repre>
sented by Commonwealth Attorney
Benz. Haden and Judge j. J. Allen, and
the defendants cause was ably cons
Quoted by his counsel Capt J. H. FL.
Figgat and Judge r. F. Mays
Numerous instructions were given the
jury upon their retirement, and after
several hours deliberation the jury re-
turned verdict of guilty, with two
years in the State prison.
The case which was interesting
throughout, owing TO it's peculiar char
acter and the earnestness with which
counsel on both sides contested every
point bearing upon it, had most sensa-
tional de7101tene11t The defendant who
was convicted Saturday night, expressed

the prosecutrix, who was not averse to
the proposition, and she accordingly
came to Fincastle on Monday morning
and was united to the defendant in the
/ presence of a number of people, Rev. w.
B. Dorsey officiating. The meeting of
the two was a most cordial one, the
most notable features being a loving kiss
and embrace, thus proving that the im-
mortal William had level head when

to The Carolinas.n He always speaks

to respond to ''The yirginias.n He did
the best he could. Col A. Q. Halliday

No man knows the subject better than
he, and it is no trouble for him to tell

DR.. Walter G. Murphy next spoke the
praises of 1.-The Women OF the South.
He is lady's man, and handled the

There the speaking ended and we, O. e.,
the eight representatives of the South,

M. E INGALLS,, OF THE CHESA-
PEAKE AND OHIO,
Recommends to the Stockholders the
Application Of the Principle of Co
Operation in Dealing with Their
Employees.

The next report of NJ. E. Ingalls,,
president of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad Company, to the stockholders,
will contain suggestions never hereto
fore incorporated in the report OF any
railroad preside mt, intended, as they
are, to be solution-as far as it is pos
sible to solve-of the labor problem by
the application of the principle of co OPP
Grafton Mr.. Ingalls, has long been
known to be nothing if not original, and
this is another evidence Of his patent
right. Cooperation has been applied
to small concerns, and met with a fair
degree of success, but this will be the
first attempt or suggestion to attempt
it's application to a railroad company in
this country, a great trunk line extends
ing from the seaboard and embracing
hundreds of miles, and in which is in
vested $119, 200, 900.
President Ingalls, report will say
''The problem of the future in railway
management seems to be how to make
a fair return to investors, while rates
are continuously going down and wages
are increasing. A large portion of the
time of your officers and managers is
taken up meeting and consulting and
discussing with the organized bodies of
labor on the road the question of wages,
&c Your directors would recommend
to the stockholders to consider the plan
of establishing community of interests
with the employees. If the company
has arrived at a financial position, as
Your directors think it has, when it can
safely be expected to earn its fixed
charges and surplus; they would rec
ommend that the surplus be equally
divided with the employees. For in
stance, if your capital is G0000000 and
the wages of the employees in the year
amount to So, 900, let that be the rate
of division. If your surplus earnings
are $65O,O0O year, it would be l per
cent for the stockholders and per cent.
to the employees. An employee, then,
who has served for the entire year with
out accident caused by his own negli-
gence, would receive his one per cent.
upon the amount of his pay. AS the
of the company increase, the
will be still larger. Ia any
event, the employees would still receive
regular compensation and would also
share to some extent in whatever pros
perity the company had. Wherever
this has been tried in manufacturing
it has worked well, and has
also been successfully adopted on one of
the French railways. Richmond Stote

Below is given the sworn statement of
the chief officer of this beneficial Order.
He virtually admits that the funds have
been souandered.
Supreme Justice Somerby was on the
witness stand most of the day on Fri
day. Referring to the Iron Hall money
deposited with the Philadelphia Bank,
amounting to more than $13,000, he
said that he did not believe the order
would ever secure any of it. He blamed
the supreme cashier, saying that he was
responsible for the present bad condi-
ton of the order. The cashiers chief
clerk testified that ticket supposed to
represent $4,000 had been carried as
cash in the cashiers Office for more than
two years He did not know what it
represented Two of the supreme trus-
tees gave evidence regarding the reserve
fund money they are authorized to in
vest They stated that several times
the cashier had been ordered to turn
the money over to them, but that he
had refused to do SO. 1t developed that
securities representing 100000 of the
reserve fund money are now held by the
assignee of the Philadelphia Bank for
the supreme cashier of the order. The
hearing will probably not be completed
before next Tuesday.

A Match "Pooln Game.

CONVICTION, VA, Aug. %, 1899.
Ed. VIRGINIAN:-As Covington has
been unable to organize Baseball nine
to compete with the Clifton team,
therefore propose in lieu match game
of Pool.
l would suggest that Clifton and Gov
ington, jointly furnish handsome pair
of billiards cues-and that two players
be selected from each place and play a
continuous game as follows-Covington
play Clifton, at their club rooms, fifteen
innings and Clifton come to Covington
and play fifteen innings-the side scoring
the highest number of points to receive
the prize-the game to be played ac-
cording to the rules that govern cham
pionship series-and to come off about
the 3rd and 4th of September-I think
it best to play in Clifton one day and
Covington the next, this would give
each side the same advantage so far as
being acquainted with the tables at
their respective places is concerned.
| would like to hear from Clifton and
will be pleased to confer with any one
that they may select in regard to max
ing the match.
Very Respectfully,
