Sergeant Gleason's Case Dismissed
by the City Council for Want
OF Jurisdiction

The Mayors Office was crowded with
citizens on Saturday evening last, to
hear the preliminary examination OF
Sergeant Paul Gleason, who was cited
TO appear before the Mayor end City
Council, that met to investigate certain
rumors in regard to his official conduct
Mayor Bowles presided, and Dr. Lewis,
member and Clerk of the Council, made
a record Of the proceedings. Messrs.
Anderson and Moore appeared for the
Council, and Messrs 4. G. Braxton, of
Staunton, and John 4. Bowles, OF this
city. represented Sergeant Gleason. The
case was called and Mr.. G. +. Moore
made the opening statement, to the
effect that they were not present as
prosecutors or Dersecutors,n but that
their purpose was to endeavor to ascer-
tain the facts, touching the matter In
controversy. He vas followed by A. q.
Bra xton, Esq, who proceeded at once
to show that the Council could not con
tinue the investigation for want OF juris-
,liction, claiming that City Sergeants
are officers OF the Commonwealth, and
are not amenable to the Council. He
argued at length as to. the functions OF
corporate bodies. and cited q number of
cases applicable to the one under con-
sideration. In closing his elaborate and
searching argument, he asked that the
case be dismissed Mr. Geo. X. Ander-
son closed the argument, in which he
advised the Council to continue the case
until their legal advisers could further
investigate the legal questions raised by
the attorneys for the defense. A vote
was taken on the proposition to adjourn
the case, which resulted in a majority of
the Councilmen voting to continue the
hearing until the Tuesday following.
On that day counsel for both sides ap-
peared, and the attorneys for the Coun>
ell conceded that the points made by
Mr.. Braxton were we'll taken, and that
that body was without authority in the
premises For this reason the case was
dismissed.
This case has occasioned general com
ment, on account of the important du-
ties resting upon City Sergeant, and
there should not be the slightest ground
for suspicion that the person holding
said Office is not faithful to the trust
confded to his keeping. Remember,
Public Office is a public trust'-not
private snap.

Crossings Badly Needed.

We would direct the attention of our
City Council to the pressing need of
street crossings-one across Jefferson
street, from the residence of Captain R.
NJ. Berkeley to Captain Moody's, and
the other from Captain Moody's corner
across to Mr.. Lowry's residence, on Pros
pect Walk. In muddy weather, the
places mentioned, become almost i'm
passible, and if nothing better were
done, a few loads of cinder would be a
great help. Give the residents of that
section few conveniences.

SOLDIERS AND SAILORS MON
UMEMT.
Large or Small Contributions
Thankfully Received.

Some small contributions to the fund
for the completion of the Confederate
Soldiers and Sailors Monument atRich-
mond are being sent in by individuals
in response to the committees appeal
for help, but the Insignificant amount
they represent is discouraging to those
having the work in charge, who wish to
have the monument ready for unwilling
by Memorial Day. This patriotic work
should appeal to the state pride and
public spirit of all Virginians especially,
and every one who can spare dollar
without inconvenience should forward
it at once to the monument fund. The
money could not be devoted to a more
noble object---Lynchbatgg Vargi3ada2a.
Mrs Maj. T. G. Jones, of Iron Gate,
Va, will receive and forward all contri-
buttons that may be made by friends
living in this vicinity.

American history. May they never be
forgotten by generations yet unborn.
