Mistake of an Oficer
The name OF Mr.. McSherry, who was
mentioned in Tuesdays TIMES in COW
nection with the police court proceed
ings, was placed on the docket by mis-
take OF one Of the officers. It seems
that this gentleman had complained to
the mayor about the disorder prevailing
In the neighborhood by reason of Mrs.
Byrd being there. She had applied for
warrant to Police Justice Williams for
the arrest OF the Gross brothers who re-
fused to issue IL. She then went to Jus
tice Camper and obtained O warrant, but
not for McSherry. but he was summoned
Is witness In the case against Mrs.
Byrd who was arrested on the charge of
running disorderly house. Mr.. Nc
Sherrys name was used on account of
1t being placed on the docket OF the po-
lice court, along with the others who
were charged with creating disturb
ance. by Mrs. Byrd. He ia exonerated
from all blame, and 1t is believed that
the Gross brothers will also be exoner-
ated II the case ever comes to trial.

office building of the Norfolk and
Western railroad arrived yesterday

time for the closing of bids has not been

will be In such 8 shape that the contract
will be let within ten days or two weeks.
The revised plans do not materially
change the character OF the building or
the material out of which 1t is to be
constructed. The plans called for O
building six stories high including the
Easements. The frontage on Jefferson
| street remains unchanged, but the
Shenandoah avenue front will be twelve
feet narrower than the original plans
called for. The first or basement story
will be Of sandstone and the balance
will be constructed Of brick made from
clay on the Ohio division OF the road
Ii Is hoped that work will be commenced
on the new building in o very short
time.
