No Senator Elected.

Frankfort, KY, March 17.-"Ever.

according to Cy Browns motion, the
Joint assembly of the Kentucky
Legislature adjourned to. day: The
session was a failure. Primarily the
chief business of the body. the pro-
vision of proper means and the enact
ment of just laws for the conduct and
administration of government was
neglected, and in addition, was pre-
sented the race spectacle of a State
capitol filled with troops and the en-
forcement of martial law. And lastly,
the election of representative OF the
State in the highest body in the land,
failed of accomplishment. The
lainentable feature of to-day's pro
ceedure was the failure to pass the
revenue bills. The urgent necessity
for the passage of the revenue ollis
may be gained from the fact that the
present indebtedness of Kentucky IS

To Test the Maupin Bill.

The Old Dominion and Virginia
Jockey Clubs have joined issues and
have decided TO fight the Maupin bill
70 the bitter end, says the New
York journal. 1t is the intention of
J. NJ. Hill and the Jones family to
open the st. Asaph race track within
the next month, and not only race,
but have book betting at the race
track, on exactly similar lines as
heretofore done in Virginia. When
the Maupin bill, which prohibits
open betting in the State, came up
before the Legislature there was con
siderable surprise expressed that the
ST. Asaph and Alexander Island
track people allowed the measure 10
pass the Legislature without oppos-
inc it in any way.
The apparent inaction on the part
of Hill and his conferees it is now
easy to explain. They propose to
attack the constitutionality OF the
Maupin bill. AS soon as the bill
became a law. Hill and the AleXan-
dria management decided TO CO.
operate. aud endeavor to find some
flaws in the bill. Tbe counsel for the
two clubs went over the measure
carefully, and, after mature dellbera
ton, gave their opinion that the bill
was not drawn on a sound basis and
could be easily overcome.
They also gave an opinion setting
forth that the system of betting III
present in vogue in Virginia was not
prohibited, and that nothing stood
in the way of the tracks re-openlnS
and racing being carried on just the
same as before.

4 telegram from Washington says:
The most extensive preparations are
being made here for the fifteenth in

Of Christian Endeavor, which is to be
held in this city July Sth to 18th

now numbers over 100000 in this
country alone. A large and represen
tative delegation is expected from
Virginia, and many others besides
members will be here FROM that State.
1t is expected that the Loartfing
house and hotel capacity of the city,
extensive at it is, will be severely
taxed when the convention meets.
The meeting places will be more
numerous than heretofore. Three
great tents, a large hall, and ten Or
more of the largest churches will be
utilized as the principal auditoriums.
and at certain times meetings will be
held simultaneously in all of them 4
combined seating capacity of more
than 10000 will be available at any
given moment during the session of
the convention.

AccoMAc COURT HOUSE, VA.
SATURDAY, MARCH 81, 1896.
Entered at the PostofIice at Accomac
@. H., Va, as second-class matter.

The decision rendered by the su-
preme court of appeals of Virginia
last week, in the case of the New
York, Philadelphia and Norfolk Rail
road VS.. the Board of Supervisors of
Northampton, means loss of thous-
ands of dollars to the public schools
of Virginia. Under the decision, not
a dollar can be collected for district
school purposes in any county in the
State from any railroad, telegraph,
telephone or canal company, and
while we are not advised, as TO the
loss occasioned thereby, accepting
the statement as correct of Mr.
Eugene Withers, member of the late
General Assembly, in recent article
published by him, that the county OF
Pittsylvania alone loses by the de
cision 1898 81, it can be readily seen.
how the public school interests OF
Virginia suffer, when the losses
caused by the decision in the various
counties where railroad property is
taxed are taken in the aggregate.
The losses should not have been per-
mitted and would not have been il
some of the members of the late
General Assembly, according TO an
other statement made by Mr.. With
erS, had been true TO the interests of
their constituents. In other words,
the law being regarded as defective
by Mr.. Saunders, member of the
House, and bin having been intro
duced by him ITO remedy the defect
in the existing law so as to insure the
collection of these taxes the public
school interests would not have
suffered, if as Mr.. Withers states, the
bill had not been throttled or al
lowed to die in committee-or TO be
more explicit, if the interests OF the
people rather than of the railroads
had been considered.
