ANOTHER SUIT BROUGHT AGAINST
THE COCKADE CITY.
Wants TO Recover Amount Paid for
n Iicense-NeEroes Arrested on
su.,ic,op of Having Committed n
Robbery-iiencral Notes.

PETERSBURG, VA, August l0.-(Spe-
cial1-Nr. G.. y. belong. a resident OF
Fttrick. through his counsel, Mr.. q. 5.
Bernard, to-day instituted an action
against the city TO recover the amount
OF a license tax paid In May last for the
privilege Of canvassing the city for copy
ing pictures. The plaintiffs claim Is that
his case stands on the same footing with
one recently decided against the city by
the Circuit Court of Petersburg, and that
the recurring Of a license from him, rep
resenting as he does, a West Virginia
house. is contrary to the Constitution OF
the United States which gives Congress
the power TO regulate interstate COM
merce.
The truth Is, In view Of the fact that
some of the ordinances of the city have
been declared unconstitutional by the
courts, that the city code needs revision.
This fact was called to the attention OF
the Common Council some months ago
by the Mayor.
ARRESTED on SUSPICION.
TWO negro men, giving their names as
Littleton Uyriche and JOHN Ack, were
having committed a robbery in Rocky
Mount, y. c., nigh. before last. The de-
scription of the parties and of the stolen
property seemed to warrant the arrest
OF these. who arrived here on the train
from the south this morning. They pro-
test their innocence. say they work at a
saw-mill in Sussex county, and that they
got on the train at Jarratts Depot 10
