WE HAVE A GOOD SNOW.
Richmond Experiences the Heaviest
Storm of the Present Winter.

Richmond experienced the heaviest
snow-storm Of the season yesterday.
The snow began to fall little before
3 o'clock in the afternoon, and when the
storm ccased-about half-past 10 o'clock
last night-it had covered the ground 70
a depth Of three inches. The street-car
people went promptly TO work with
shovels and plows as soon as II became
apparent that the visitation was not to
be q mere furry, and. as consequence
there was no interruption OF travel on
any OF the lines. The telegraph companies
experienced no Inconvenience from the
storm.
The small boy hailed the snow with de-
llght, and began coasting - soon as II
was deep enough and last night the
Jingle Of sleigh-bells was heard in various
parts Of the city.

A REHEARING ASKED.

Opponents of the Income Tax Law Serve an
Informal Notice Upon the Supreme
Court.
WASHINGTON, April Is. - Informal
notice has been given to the United
States supreme court by counsel in op-
position to the income tax of a pur-
pose to ask the court for a rehearing
of the income tax question. The petit
ton asking a rehearing prob ably will
be made to-day by Lawyer Guthrie.
In view of the Importance of the case
the impression prevails that the court
will grant the motion, and that ar
rangements will be made for speedy
hearing and final determination of the
issue. Justice Jackson's health has
improved considerably of late, and it is
known in this city that Judge jackson
recently expressed his determination to
come to Washington and resume his
official duties in case the income tax
suits were set down for immediate
hearing, and, in view of this fact, it is
believed that the cases will be reopened
and a decision be given upon those
portions of the law upon which eight
justices are now equally divided.
