RICHMOND, Jan. 19.-The outcome of
the convention of Virginia court clerks
here is that a committee of seven has
been appointed to look fully into the
matter Of fees and system for their
collection and to report at a similar
meeting OF tho clerks of the State to be
held December 5 next. The convention
adjourned at o'clock to day.
The convention of court clerks of the
State of Virginia, which was brought
about largely through the work of Col.
S. s. Brooke, of this city, convened at
Richmond on Thursday. The meeting
was called to order by Colouel Brooke,
who, in speech OF some length, ex-
planned the object for which the con-
vention of CLERKS had been called 1t
was the erratic belief OF some, he said,
that the movement was started for the
purpose OF increasing clerks fees. He
wished to say that so far as the pecuni-
ary benefit Of the clerk was concerned,
it WAS the sense of the convention
simply that some plan should be adopted
whereby the fees might be secured.
Colonel Brooke went on to say that
there had not been court clerk in
years who would not gladly sell his
fees for fifty cents on the dollar. The
clerks fees, he said, should be so ex-
plicitly stated that no variation will
obtain between the clerks of the differ
ent courts; that litigants, as we'll as
clerks and lawyers, should know what
legal fees really are.
At the conclusion Of Colonel Brooke's
address the election of officers was
taken up, and the following permanent
officers were chosen: Chairman, Mr..
John P. Boude, Of the Rockbridge cir
cult; secretary, MIR. T.. l.. Turner, OF
tho circuit and county courts OF Green
Vile; treasurer, Mr.. Charles W. God lin,
of the chancery court Of Richmond.

CHARTERS APPLIED FOR

Ihe Draft of the Charter for the C,nstruc
lion Company in the Committee's Hands.
The officers and board of directors Of
the Roanoke Railway Construction
Company several days ago completed
the draft OF the proposed charter for the
Roanoke and Northern railroad which
Will be the name of the new comnet-
ing trunk line from this CITY to CON
neos With the Baltimore and Ohio or
chesapeake and Ohio in Botetourt
county. The bill to grant the charter
was presented to the legislature last
thursday by Hon. M. G. Thomas and
WAS at once referred to the proper com
mittee. There is little doubt that it
will be reported on at an early day
and the charter issued.
Inc proRenitors of this enterprise are
still hopeful and believe the road will
pc constructed, but they are now even
more than ever fully convinced that the
fate of the road depends upon the
liberality and public spirit of the peo-
pie OF this city.
1T the citizens, those of small means
as we'll as he more wealthy, will come
forward now and subscribe as large
amounts as they can afford then there
is little doubt that in twelve months
the new line will be built and in sue
cessful operation.
Incorporation of Another Now Line.
The committee on roads (railroads)
and internal navigation of the gene raj
assembly have decided to report favor
ably bill introduced by Hon M. C.
Thomas of this city, to incorporate the
Roanoke Mineral Belt Line Railroad
Company. Mr.. Thomas explained that
the road was intended to connect with
the Richmond and Danville railroad, so
as to enable the latter to enter Roa-
noke.
Persistent inquiry by TINES reporters
around town yesterday resulted in no
further information about the proposed
railroad further than stated in the above
paragraph

THE WEEKLY REPORTS.

Some encouragement is to be CLEANED
from Bradstreet's reports upon the
record OF the past week in business
circles. Special kilograms from many
of the more important cities, based on
interviews in leading lines of trade,
make 1t plain that the Improvement
reported week ago, characterized as
the turn Ia the tide, has been retained
and added 10. Exceptions are noted at
some of the larger Eastern manufacture
ing centers. Pittsburg is moro hope
ful, but, while retailers have increased
purchases, there is little gain in iron
or steel. Philadelphia emphasizes fur
tner concessions in prices for wool, but
there are contradictory reports as to the
manufactured products.
The report directs attention to the
taking OF contracts by competing West
ern concerns at 'ruinous prices" al
though it is admitted trade in drugs.
paints and glass is much improved.
Jobbers in shoes at Baltimore saw trade
is fairly satisfactory, and travellers from
that city say the condition of business
throughout tho South is such that n
revival there must appear in short
time.
B. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review Of
trade reports that while industrial
Improvement continues the gain is slow
and the increase in the purchasing
power of the people by the enlargement
of the force at work is in a measure
counterbalanced by the loss in the pur.
chasing power of the people through
the reduction in wages paid. During
the past week dispatches have told of
reductions averaging 10 per cent. in
fifteen iron and steel works, and ayerag-
ing 1914 per cent. in eleven textile
works, five employing thousands of
hands, each having reduced wages 90
per cent. Meanwhile twenty-five
textile and eleven iron and steal con.
Germs resumed wholly or in part against
seventeen textile and four iron concerns
stopping or reducing forces.
The volume Of business done has in
creased in leading branches, but not
largely. Clearings fall below those of
last year for the SAME week 226 per
cent, and uncertainty regarding the
future as yet prevents the ventures
essential to prosperous activity.

Petroleum sh,pp,d from c.sp.r.

The shipment of petroleum from
Caspar has commenced and the first
car of oil has been sold. 1t was or
dercd by the receiver of the Denver,
Union Pacific & Gulf railroad and a
tank car was shipped from Caspar. The
oil is for use on the Gulf line.
As a result the town is jubilant as it
is confidently believed that the use of
the lubricant will be so satisfactory
that it will result in its being put into
general use all along the line.
Recently the oil fields have been
visited several times by the Gulf Off
cials. This, with the fact that the
proposed pipe line is almost assured, is
causing great confidence among the
citizens that the pending contract be-
tween the Pennsylvania Oil company
and the Gulf receiver will soon be
closed. By this contract the road will
use Caspar oil and give it reasonable
transportation from Salt Creek, the
terminus of the pipe line. to Grin
Junction.
This means that grand rush will
be made to the Caspar oil fields and
development work pushed very active
ly, and it follows that Caspar, as the
outfitting point of the oil region, will
boom as never before.
