Meeting of Railroad Men Expected
Here

The article published in THE V1R.
a1NIAN yesterday morning in regard to
the Baltimore aud Ohio railroad
making deep water terminus at Nor.
folk, attracted great deal of alton
tlon and comment.
reporter of The VIRGINIAN talked
with number OF prominent men who
believed there was something ut the
bottom of the report.
The Baltimore and Ohio would GER
tainiy find shipping advantages here
not enjoyed by Baltimore, aud in the
mntter of grain from the West ships
can save two days sailing by taking on
their cnrgoes at Newport News and
Norfolk. In these days, when time is
money, two days saved is nn item Of
advantage readily appreciated by trans -.
portasion companies.
1t was reported last night that q
meeting of Baltimore aud Ohio oifi
clals would be held Mt the Atlantic
Hotel. A reporter OF The VIEGIrIAS
inquired ut the hotel, aud was inform
ed that the gentlemen in question had
not arrived, but would likely reach
Norfolk this morning.
The Baltimore aud Ohio several
years ago graded road from Lexing.
tOu W hDhlem, v u. AT SalOm they
could reach Norfolk by the Norfolk
aud Western, or could go to Martins
vile, Va, by the Roanoke Southern
and by building u short line from Mar
tinsville to Dnnvile could como to Nor.
folk over the Atlantic aud Dauville
and find warehouses and docks for
their trade.
A gentleman from Richmond, who is
engaged III the tobacco business there.
wns III Norfolk yesterday, he was much
impressed. He suid the Southern road
IN his opinion would greatly increase
the trade of tho port. how about the
Baltimore aud Ohio, he was asked,
and said that he know of no road
to tho South and West that would not
be benefited by having a terminus here.
He thought the Baltimore and Ono
people fully realized that at no distant
day Norfolk would be not only one OF
the .greatest OF the Atlantic ports, but
manufacturing centre of importance
and distributing point OF great nd
vantage.

RICHMOND NEWS AND GOSSIP
What Is Going on in and Around
the Capital City,
MIR. Mullen Talks on the Labor Situa-
tion. The Telephone System. The
Street Car Franchise Problem
and Many Other Notes Of
General Interest.
Special Dispatch to the virginiau.

RICHMOND, Va, august 29.--Mr. W.
ii. Mullen, who was last night appoint
ed chairman of the committee chosen
at tho conference of the Central Trades
and Labor Union to name legislative
ticket, when seen to day, said:
"Our committee will meet early next
week to pick out ten names. From
these ten the convention OF organized
labor, which meets tho second Wednes-
day In September, Will choose five.
These live we will take into the prns
ries with us as our choice. OF the iivo,
two will he members of organized la
bor, and there will be business men
who Will work III our interests. We
Will enter the primaries to secure the
election of our choice"
The principal thing We are after in
the Legislature, said MIR. Mullen, "is
new charter for Richmond. We want
to have the heads OF all city depart
ments elected by the people, and IT is
on this ground that We will make our
fight. There is no special labor Iegis.
lanon that we desire enacted at this
time. = Give us new city charter"
There is no perceptible change in the
prospect for the establishment of two
new telephone systems i'll Richmond.
Promoters OF the Standard Company,
and Of the Home Telephone, state that
each scheme Is being gradually but
slowly developed. Mr.. John &. Rob
eitson, under whose supervision sub.
scrlptlons to the Standard have been
solicited, is now in Baltimore on busi.
ness pertaining TO the enterprise in
which he is Interested. 1t is said he
has nearly | ,0O0 subscribers.
1t would appear from present indica
tions that the law courts will vet be
called upon to wrestle with the street
car franchise problem, now that the
Council has done with it.
Capt. Andrew Pizzini, whom asked
this morning whether tho CITY Railway
would abide by the resolutions OF the
Street Committee last night that the
right OF the old company to use elsc :.
tricitv on Broad street has expired, re-.
piled that he was not just now in n
position TO give any definite iniorma
ton as to the intentious of the com. i.
pany.
The city railway, however, did not
believe that its privilege IL that direc.
ton was no longer in existence There.
lore, the matter would be thoroughly
sounded and II tue company found that
It's rights bad been iniringed upon it
would certainly make fight to retain
oil the privileges given 1t with it's fran
chise.
IN the event that the matter is
brought into court the question to be
decided is whether reasonable time
has ELAPSED since the privilege OF using
electricity on Brood street was granted
the city railway.
y number OF gentlemen interested
IN one way or the other in the con
siructIon of the new Broad street line
held "a meeting this morning at the
office OF John SHELTON Williams, The
plans OF the road and powerhouse we're
thoroughly discussed and much OF the
preliminary work fully outlined.
Everything Is moving along satisfac-
toriiy to the traction people.
