The frequent and serious difficulty ex-
perienced in the operations of tunnel
ing, namely, the subsistence Of the snr-
face after the completion of the work.
has lately been found TO be preventable
by simple system resorted 20 by a Lon
don contractor, by the use of which no
ground outside the actual section OF the
subway in hand need be disturbed. The
system in question comprises a series OF
steel bars placed side by side with the
excavation so as to form acomplete tenn
porary lining and support to the roof.
and within this series of bars the perma-
nent brick arch of the tunnel is built.
The bars used in this work are ten feet
long. six inches wide. and two inches
thick, being provided at their edges with
longitudinal grooves, by means of which
each Is linked to the next one in such a
way as to admit of separate longitudinal
motion. and yet to prevent lateral sepa-
ration. The bars are inserted in the
same manner. rs well as supported. as
ordinary tunnel bars. the ground being
excavated only the exact section OF the
tunnel, plus the trifiing thickness Of the
bars.
After the brickwork has been built
within them the bars are separately
pushed forward by jackscrews ms the
earth is excavated for the succeeding
length. The bars are provided with longi.
tudinal tubular cavities. through winch
grouting or other filling material may be
introduced from time to time to fill
the space left vacant by the advancing
bars between the top of the lining arch
and the earth above and around, this
preventing any subsistence. New York

Young Taiieyrand.. Engagement.

The engagement of the youthful Comte
de Talleyrand Perigord to Mile. de Ro-
han Chabot, daughter Of the Prince and
Princess de Leon, has raised the ques.
ton in aristocratic Paris as to the most
fitting age at which young men and
maidens should enter the holy state OF
matrimony. The French aristocracy, it
appears, is divided on the matter.

DECISION FOR THE GAS " WATER co
Judge Woods Decides the Ordinance in
Question Illegal.

Judge Woods Decides the Ordinance in
Question Illegal.
very important decision was
rendered by Judge Woods, of the Hust-
ing Court yesterday, in the case of the
city vs.. tho Roanoke Gas and Water
Company on an appeal from the police
court, which was decided in favor of the
Gas and Water Company.
The whole story in brief is this:
Some time last summer an ordinance
was passed by City Council to the effect
that the Roanoke Gas and Water Com
pany, before obtaining permit to
make excavations in the streets for the
purpose OF placing in pipes, should de-
posit with the board of public works
certified check equal to the amount of
the cost of replacing the pavement
removed. Previous to the passage of
this resolution, when the surface or
pavement was rem owed the Gas and
Water Company would obtain permit,
do the work and replace the pavement.
When this resolution was passed the
Gas and Water Company went before
Judge Dupuy, OF the circuit court, on a
writ of mandamus to compel the board
Of public works to issue permits to place
pipes without any certified check being
deposited with the board. The circuit
court decided that the matter was not
presented in the proper form, and the
case was removed from the iurispru-
dence OF that tribunal
The next step of the Gas and Water
Company was to remove the pavement
at certain point on Salem avenue for
the purpose of placing a pipe without
having first obtained permit. A sum.
mons was at once served on Manager
Rawn, of the Gas and Water Company,
to appear next day at police court to
show cause why he should not be fined
for the violation OF city ordinance.
The matter was argued in the police
court, and the Gas and Water Company
was fined $40. An appeal was taken to
the Hastings Court. This was argued
about a month ago, and the court re-
served it's decision.
Yesterday the court decided that the
decision of the police justice should be
revoked, and the ordinance in question
was unfair and illegal. Among the
reasons gived by Judge Woods for the
decision are: The ordinance is invalid
for two reasons, that it is an impair-
ment Of the contract between the city
Of Roanoke and the Gas and Water Com
pany, and another reason is that it is
unreasonable.

ONE WAY TO SETTLE 1T.

The COMMUNICATION OF "Citizen' in
the columns OF TIE TINES yesterday
morning seems TO have prcc.pitated
general feeling of dissatis faction which
has been increasing in intensity since
the final action of Council 10 H. ing the
stamp OF its approva! upon the proposed
notifications to the city charter. The
public generally are discussing the
situation from all standpoiuts and al
though many may question the correc
tions of the entire view taken by 'Citi-
zen,' there are many poin.s which are
ouotedly we'll founded in bis ar
ticle, as large mum Der admitted in con-
versation upon the streets yesterday.
THE TIMES believes the City Council
and it's individual members to be per.
fectly honest in their motives for chang
ing the city charter, an important point
in their present consideration having
been the desire to bring the expenses of
maintaining the government within the
income, and The TIMES does not call
into question the capabilities OF these
men by whose hands the enactments
we're drawn up and VINO finally passed
upon it, but it does not believe that the
demands OF the people, and although
possibly tiding over the present exigen-
cies, is not what is req uired by the citi-
zens now or will fulfil the demands of
the future.
The city charter is, and of rights ought
to be, jealousy guarded by the citizens
OF the city, and any proposed change
should lightly be freely discussed by
the citizens themselves before any
action upon it is taken. For this reason
THE TINES has opened its columns for
the ventilation of opinions from those
upon either side of the controversy.
y In view Of the general dissatisfac ton
which exists and as most e1pedient
method for perfecting a remedy to the
disruption TIE TINES would suggest
that the citizens hold mass meeting
at an early date for the free discussion
OF the matter and If possible the en- body
ltHI Vi buCu LuOQlnCaClOnS al are con-
sidered best for the welfare of the CITY,
to those already suggested by Council,
and sent to our representatives at Rich
mond TO be laid before the legislature
for definite action.
The expression OF the concensus OF
opinion OF the citizens can, 1T is be-
lieved, DE moro correctly obtained in
this way than in any other suggested.
The charter may call for many modifi-
cations and if so it is essential that these
changes be made in time for enactment
by this session of legislature. Itwould
seem most expedient that the meeting
be called for some night early next
week. 1t is matter which demands
attention at once. A little wise fore.
thought now may prevent large
amount of dissatisfaction and dissen-
ton in the future.

WORLDS FAIR MEDALS,
Much Complaint at the Delay in Award
Ing Them.

Much Complaint at the Delay in Award
Ing Them.
WASHINGTON, Nov. l3.-There is much
complaint among exhibitors over the
delay in awarding worlds fair medals.
As many exhibitors expect to use most
of their medals in an advertising way,
they complain that the great delay will
rob them of much of the commercial ad-
vantage which they expected to reap in
return for the heavy expense involved
in making worlds fair exhibits. The
design by st. Gaudens for official medals
here is but contract for mann ufacturing
medals not yet awarded, and it is still
even uncertain whether the work may
not BIZ done by the United States mint.
The plan of the treasury officials con-
templates medals of elegant workman
ship which would require four
or five months, as it would
necessitate the stamping of some of the
medals 400 or 500 times, and it does not
seem probable that the work will be
completed before next summer. The
blame is laid to the committee of awards
or to the designer, st. Gaudens, for not
furnishing the designs earlier.
