Serious Fall.

ROANOKE, VA, December L-(Spe-
cial)-J. II. Ashworth, the Bristol attor-
ney representing the syndicate of that
city which has filed applications for the
purchase Of a considerable amount Of de-
linquent real estate in Roanoke, has had
issued and served a notice on Mayor An
drews, as the representative of the city,
TO the effect that the would-be purchasers
would, on Saturday. December 4th, move
before Judge Woods for a dissolution or
the Injunction heretofore awarded, re-
straining the Clerk of the Hastings Court
from granting such applications. Inc
reasons assigned for the motion to dis
solve are want OF equity in the bill and
other defects appearing upon the face OF
the proceedings. The property-owners In
terested will watch these proceedings
with interest. and will be on hand with
their attorneys 10 fight the motion.

TESTINGSJtNDAYLAW
NEWPORT NEWS POLICE OFFICERS
CREATE A STIR.
Warrants Sworn Out Against the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railway and
the Elevator Company-The Point
mt Issue.

NEWPORT NEWS. VA. December L.
Especial. )-Warrants have been sworn oct
by the Police Department against the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Company
and the Chesapeake and Ohio Elevator
Company charging these wealthy cor
porations with violating the Sunday
labor law. The warrant against the rail-
road holds that the company did, by its
agents and employees, load and unload,
run and transport upon it's road last Sun
day certain trains, cars, and locomotives,
and that against the elevator company
charges violation Of the Sunday law in
loading and unloading trains, cars, and
cargo-shiDs. These warrants were served
on superintendent Terminals II. II.
Parker and Superintendent-of-Ele
w. s. Upshur. Some interesting develop
ments are expected when these cases
come up for hearing for 1t will be de-
termined whether there shall be any dis
elimination between corporations and pri-
vate individuals. Just what the result
will be cannot be foretold. but the action
of the police has created quite a stir,
for 1t is n well-known fact that some
time since they swore out warrants
against the Chesapeake and Ohio railway
and Chesapeake and Ohio elevator COM
panies on the same charge, and were az
forwards ordered to withdraw the war
rants by their supervisors. The Chesa-
peake and Ohio officials say that in order
to successfully compete with other ports
1t is necessary for them TO operate the
elevator and trains on the Sabbath. III
foreign vessels are lying in the channel
waiting cargoes. and they are delayed 1t
against the harbor as shipping
point. But the question that arises Is
whether a difference should be made be-
tween an individual and a corporation, in
which the latter is exempted from any in
reference by the authorities.

THOSE wADDEY DUPLICATE BILLS.
The Stationer Offers an Explanation,
which Mr.. Epps Confirms.
Editor of the Dispatch:

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
From the report in your paper this
morning of the proceedings OF the Com
ference is possible that the Everett
Waddey Company might have been guilty
of some improperly in rendering a bill
for books and stationery furnished the
City Sergeant, first, as having been sup
piled 10 the "jail," and after its pay
ment had been refused by the city, sub
sequently rendering a bill for the same
articles as having been supplied to the
"Hustings Court" We therefore ask
you to print the following explanation:
The Sergeant of the city of Richmond
is an officer of the Hastings Court. He
is also ex-officio the jailer, and as such
State officer. In the exercise of his
double duties for the city and State he
requires some stationery. For years the
stationery required by the City Sergeant
has been furnished by the City Contrac-
tor and paid for by the city of Richmond.
The accounts have been made out on our
books against City of Richmond-Jail."
In August. 1896. we supplied certain sta
tionery and blank-books TO the City
Sergeant, the delivery of which was made
at the city jail. we received the order
from the City Sergeant and hold his re-
ceipt therefor. We are advised that sub
sequent to the furnishing of these sup
plies and the rendering of this bill a de-
cision Of the Supreme Court WAS made,
under which the city is not required to
pay bills for supplies for the Jail. When
payment of our account was refused. the
City Sergeant, acting under instructions
from the Judge of the Hastings Court,
requested us to make out the bill and
present ii to the Hastings Court, which
would make an allowance of the same,
and that if the Council refused to pay
ii on that allowance he would then issue
a rule against the Council to have the
matter argued in his court as to whether
or not the city was liable for these bills.
Had the Committee on Claims and Sala-
ries summoned the City Sergeant instead
OF the deputy, Mr.. RalstOn, at the Jail.
the matter would have been explained
10 them fully at their meeting last eve
ming. EVERETT WADDEY
IL take pleasure in saying the above
statement or Mr.. Waddey is a correct
recital Of the facts. Respectfully yours,
II. C. EPPS, City Sergeant.
