NEWPORT NEWS, VA, August IS
(SpeciaL)-The funeral OF Miss Florence
Turpin. who died yesterday morning at
the residence Of Mr.. and Mrs. A. j. Rey-
nolds. in the East End, took place this
afternoon, Rev. George w. Wray, Of the
Methodist church, officiating. The in

Your correspondent learned this morn
ing that Messrs. Darling and McMena-
min, who now control the Newport
News-Hampton State League team, have
signed Billy Magee, formerly OF the
local team, and who was also with the
Portsmouth team for a short while.
Billy is a fast and valuable man, ana
is capable of playing company win
any OF the State League players. HIS
release from Portsmouth was not due TO
poor playing, but to the fact that the
management had some other man 1t
wanted on the team.
CAN'T UNDERSTAND 1T.
Notwithstanding the announcements in
the Norfolk papers OF the clever exhibit
ton of pitching put up by Nike MOTIFS
sey in Mondays game with Portsmouth,
the fans of this city cannot understand
why Messrs Darling and McMenamin
have chosen him to do the twirling for
their new team, instead Of Jack Host,
the star pitcher Of the Newport News
club. Morrissey has always been con-
sidered as dead-easy by the local team,
and the boys have never failed to touch
him up for a big base-hit column. ON
the other hand, Jack Host has pitched
some remarkable games. always proving
an enigma to Hampton. Suffolk, ana
the other visiting teams. His work IN
the recent Suffolk series will always be
remembered here. 1t will be remembered
that Newport News won three games
and tied one, and this was due m the
main TO the good battery-work Of Host
and Magee. In the second game Suffolk
put on six present and ex-State League
players. all Of whom went down before
the clever young twirler, Newport News
winning with large margin.

Trial of C. w. Wright, sunolk's Ex-
Treasurer.

SUFFOLK, VA, August 1S.-(Spe-
cial. )-Great interest is manifested In
the trial in the Nansemond County Court
OF C. W. Wright. eX-Treasurer OF the
town Of Suffolk. who is charged with the
embezzIement OF H.27s.15. The case was
called yesterday. but after a few preii-
minaries Judge Knby adjourned his
court until to-day, I'm order TO give the
attorneys for the prisoner an opportunity
to endeavor to procure the report OF an
expert, who had been employed by
committee of the Town Council, TO make
an examination as 10 the alleged shortage
of ex-Treasurer Wright. At the re-
quest of the defendants counsel-Hon.
George ID. Wise. of Richmond; colonel
r. Il. Boykin, of Smithfield; and MERIT
Briggs, Esq. of Suffolk-a special meet
ing Of the Town Council was held last
night. and the aforesaid gentlemen APP
peared before that body and requested
that they be allowed to examine the re-
port of the expert employed by the town,
which the committee having the matter
in charge stated was not ready TO be
made. the report not having been com
pleted The defendants counsel desired
that the Council would require said COM
mittee TO make a report this morning,
but the suggestion was not entertained.
MANDAMUS APPLIED FOR.
This morning notice was served on the
councilmen that application would DE
made 10 Circuit-Judge r. r. Prenus for
a mandamus. to require the production
Of said experts report. At 1870 o'clock
the application was made, and Town-At-
torney Britt entered demurrer, which
Judge Prentis very promptly sustained,
as the applicants for the mandamus had,
he ruled, no grounds TO sustain their
claims The contest was then trans
ferred TO the County Court the counsel
for the prisoner asking that subpoena
duces tecum be issued against the Coun-
ell Committee, which was denied by Judge
Kilby. The defence next attacked the
indictment, and moved that it be quashed,
but after hearing argument on both
sides Judge Kilby decided that the in
dictment as drawn by Commonwealth
Attorney Il. L. Holland was all right.
JURY IMPANELLED.
The Jury was then impaneled, and the
examination Of witnesses began about 4
O'Clock. The first witness was W. i.
Mcleod, clerk of the Council. the main
point brought out by his examination be-
Ing that the ex-Treasurer did not make 10
the Council a report Of the receipts and
disbursements during the last year Of
MIS- incuru bency Of the Office. though il
was customary to make report OF each
years business. The next witness was
John f. Lotzia, who succeeded Captain
Wright as Town Treasurer. He made
statement of moneys and papers turned
over 10 him by his predecessor. Court
then adjourned till 10 o'clock tomorrow.

Big Purchase of Property by a Rail-
rOad.

NORFOLK, VA, August 1S.-(Special.)-
The New York, Philadelphia and Norfolk
railway, which recently purchased TWEEN
ty-three acres of the Thompson tract. a
waterfront property situated on Primers
Point, has Just closed another land deal
with the North Portsmouth port Norfolk
Land Company. The purchase covers
about thirty acres, including nearly 1000
feet of water front, and is separated from
the property first acquired by what Is
known as the Rogers tract. 1t is under
stood that the price paid was In the
neighborhood Of $4,000, and that improve
ments to the property will be begun with
I'm thirty days from this date. 1t is al
most certain thaS other lines besides the
New York, Philadelphia and Norfolk are
interested in this deal, the opinion be-
ing current that the railways terminating
here will concentrate their business on
the Portsmouth side of the river.
