VETO THE LAST DAY.
coveaNoR,s SIGNATURE WITHHELD
FROM ANOTHER CHARTER.
Thirteen Such Messages During the See
sion-uis ExceiIency's Caution Com
mcnded by the Press.

Governor O'Ferrail yesterday vetoed
the House bill to perfect the charter oi
the Gasgow and NaturalBridse haii-
way Company.
In his veto message the Governor says
Under this charter Ito perfect rail-
way charter there are, In fact the io'-
lowing charters granted:
1 TO build railroad from Glasgow 10
the Natural Bridge.
To build an indefinite number OF rail-
roads from and 20 other points.
To build, buy, and purchase an In
definite number OF hotels. and TO operate
them.
4 To erect and operate an electric-iight
plant and supply any enterprise. Industry
factory. or person In the county Of Rock
bridge with electr.c-power and lights.
To fusiish water-power to any factory.
enterprise. or person.
Here is a merger Of all these diferent
objects In one act, each separate ana DIS
tinct. and not one OF them Incidental 70
the object set forth In the title. Here
are many independent enterprises EN-
b-aced in one act, thereby deprlving the
State OF revenue by comforting all these
powers upon the payment OF one charter
tax and contravening. in my opinion, the
fifteenth section of Article V. OF the Con-
stItutlon OF Virginia, which expressly de-
clares that mo law shall embrace more
than one object, which is expressed in the
title"
In addition TO the powers already emu
merated, this company is authorized 10
mite. merge. or consolidate with any
other corporation acquire and hold 1900
acres OF land in said county oil ROCK
bridge. and to condemn land for the pur-
pose Of building its road or roads.
must respectfully decline to approve
this bill because OF the reasons indicated
viz The merging of Independent objects
in one charter, the granting OF powers
nat mentioned in the title and not incl
dental TO the object therein named ana
tho loss OF revenue resulting from COM
h,,otion Of numerous distinct enterprises
in one charter.
THIRTEEN VETOES.
Including the above the Governor sent
In thirteen veto messages. The other
twelve bills that were the SUBJECTS oi
such messages were as follows:

hammock. and Madison railroad.

HIS REASONS.
The Governor returned the railroad bills
without his signature for one or more
of these reasons: That the powers granted
were too latitudnous, that the capitai
stock was not limited, or that no limit
was put upon the time In which con-
struction should be commenced.
The relief bills were vetoed because no
good reasons were cited I'm them why
the Executive should negative the
judgments OF the courts, and the county
road bills were not approved because
under n recent decision OF tn. Supreme
Court OF Appeals they, were urcoi'stit''-
tional. In the case OF the county-road
bills and some OF the railroad bills new
ones meeting the objections OF the Exc
cutive were introduced and passed, re-
ceivlng the Governors signature
SIGNED ONE RELIEF BILL.
The Governor said yesterday that he had
signed only one bill relieving "A person
from fine imposed for an offence against
the laws. and IN which extenuatinE CIR
cumstances did not Appear In the Din
That was In the case OF an old coior.d

Mckinney had pardoned her was SUM

Horsepower of the Worlds Engines.

A steam horsepower" is equivalent
to the actual strength of three horses of
the average weight and size, and each
horse represents the strength of seven

gines Of the world (not including loco
motives, of which there are 105, 900, with
a total horsepower of 5000, 000) is 49,

that could be eXerted by 1000, 900, 900
men, or more than twice the total work
ing population of the entire globe. Four
fifths of the power machines now in ao-
tive service have been made during the
past 25 years. This country has the
highest amount of horsepower, 7.500,-
