SPECULATION DULL AGAIN.
Speculation at the Stock Exchange was dun
again to-day and was confined alDnoet entirely
to the room traders. Only $4,000 shares

Reading and $4,000 OF unlisted stocks After
which figured for only 10000 shares. The
sharp recovery In sterling exchange put an END

The Law IN Regard to Dogs.
CLIFTON FORGE, VA, May 3

CLlETON IOhGE, A., nfy
Mr.. EDITOR:
Whereas quite number of our citi-
zens have recently applied to me to have
their dogs listed as personal property
expressing willingness to pay taxes
thereon-the attention of the public is
hereby directed to Sections 499 and 500,
Part list, Code of 1887; and also Sec. 37l1,
Part Cd, Code of 1887, (Which is explana-
tory in part of Sec. 490 in which pro
vision is made for the owners of all dogs
to license the same, have them list
ed as personal property. and to pay tax
es thereon, as per the value fixed by the
Commissioner of the Revenue.
Section 499 reads
"In order that any dog or dogs in any
county or city, other than the County OF
Henrico and Cities of Richmond and
Manchester, shall be deemed personal
property within the meaning of Section
S711, (*) the owner shall obtain from the
Commissioner of the Revenue of his city
or county a license to keep dog or dogs,
paying therefor to the Treasurer for one
dog the sum of one dollar, and for each
additional dog the sum of fifty cents, the
license to coutain the description and
name of such dog or dogs; and upon the
receipt of such license such person may
have such dog or dogs listed for taxation
by the Commissioner of the Revenue, at
a valuation to be fixed by the said Com
missioner
x Sec. 3711: "All dogs in the cities of
Richmond and Manchester and in the
county of Henrico, and all dogs listed for
taxation and wearing tag as provided
in Section 500, shall be deemed personal
property and may be the subject of petit
larceny and malicious and unlawful tres
pass"
Section 500: "The Auditor of Public
Accounts shall prescribe a tag, to be paid
for by the owner of the dog, which shall
be worn by each dog listed and taxed as
prescribed in the preceding sections"
You will observe that Sections 400 and
500 contain nothing of compulsory MAJ
ture. You can license or not license, list
or not list your dog or dogs for taxation
at your option.
By licensing or licensing and listing
your dog or dogs, however, as provided
in the foregoing Sections, they at once
become exempt from the recent town
Ordinance, the Town Council having
amended said Ordinance, May Goth, SO
as to conform thereto. But whether
licensed and listed as personal property
for taxation, such dog or dogs in either
case must wear the tag, in order that
they may be distinguished from those
dogs unlicensed. The Ordinance passed
by our Council which was to have gone
into effect May list, 1898, the time has
been extended to May 18th, 1898, SO that
all parties desiring to license their dogs
shall have ample opportunity SO to do.
On and after the 1st day of May, 1898,
I shall be prepared to issue aforesaid
license, and also to list for taxation the
dogs of all parties, in the corporation,
who may apply.
Very Respectfully,
w. G. HAMILTON,
Com'r Revenue.

Parker, DIR. c. T. Lewis, Geo. T. Byrd.
Mr.. Harris applied for license to run

Permission was asked to transfer the
license held by Byers & Bell, which was
granted.
Permission was granted to Jno. d.
Horton, of Ronceverte, w. Va, to open
saloon in the room formerly occupied
by Byrd & Chapman, on Railroad Ave.
Commissioner of Revenue, w. Ham
ilton, submitted his report of the amount
which was examined, item by item, and
after being scaled down for reasons sat
isfactory to the Council, left balance
still unsolicited of $271.72 A general
discussion ensued as to the proper per-
son to collect the delinquent taxes, and
the Clerk referred to the proceedings of
Council of March 9th, at which time a
resolution was passed authorizing f. M.
Jones to collect same. The Council
receded from this position by deciding
that it was the duty of Town Sergeant
to collect said taxes, and he was instruct
ed to proceed in the matter at once.
The report of Commissioner Hamilton
was received and approved.
The Botetourt Brick Co., Judge Geo.
Swami, Manager, submitted a bid for
furnishing $4,000 hard brick for paving
streets at So per thousand, delivered
wherever the Council might designate.
As the curbing had not been put in, no
action was taken as to the company's
proposition.
f. M. Jones, City Treasurer, submit
ted his annual report, which embraced
all the expenses incurred in putting in
sewerage, fixing streets, salaries of Off

of assets were $21 ,812.71. and the total
amount of disbursements for all pur-
poses, $21 ,319 66, leaving balance on

amined and approved by H. T. Parker,
as a committee on the part of the Coun-
Gil.
The question of the legality of the
Council employing its own members to
do hauling and to furnish articles of
merchandise, was raised by Councilman
Accord. The statute law governing corr
but when the special case cited in which
the law was not strictly observed, was
explained, the necessity of the case jus
titled the course pursued.
Mr.. Accord also complained of no re-
pairs being made to streets and alleys on
the South side of Jackson river, and af-
ter discussion, the matter was referred
to the Street Committee to proceed as
they deemed best.
A number of bills were presented,
among them one for a patent snow
shovel, the unique invention of DR.. Lewis.
1t occasioned much merriment, Coun-
Gilman Byrd declaring that it was tut
terly useless" This bill, along with the
rest, was duly approved.
There being no other business, Coun-
Gil adjourned.

Highly Complimentary.

In the general discussion of Corpora
ton matters,as well as the availability:of
certain persons for the various positions
to be filled, the name of Capt Lewis
Hartman has been frequently mentioned
for the Office of Mayor. There are few
men, if any, in this community who are
better qualified for the position than
Capt. Hartman, as he is thoroughly con-
versant with the wants of this promising
city, and would administer the office in
a manner acceptable to the people.
