Special )-Much to the surprise OF

sloner Forman has granted the appli-
cation OF Collector Agnew for the re-
moyal Of the revenue once from Lynch
burg to Alexandria. This. doubtless win
be followed by the change OF the Collec-
tors ofiice from Richmond 10 Petersburg.
There was quite a discussion over the
matter in the Commissioners office this
morning. Congressman Rixey. OF the
Eighth District, appeared for Alexandra,
and Congressman Otey for Lynchburg.
The latter contended that Lynchburg was
central in the district, and more accessi-
bic to those VINO had business with the
Collector; while Mr.. Rixey argued that
Alexandria's rail and mail facilities were
superior 10 those OF Lynchburg. Several
other representatives Of the two cities
spoke, and when the arguments closed
Mr.. Forman authorized the transfer OF
the office from Lynchburg TO Alexandria.
Mr.. Agnew's home IS in the latter city,
and II is believed he will make the
change probably next week. Senator
Daniel was expected here TO use his in
nuence in behalf of Lynchburg, but he
was kept away by engagements In the
pending campaign.
Governor OFerrall stopped at the
Metropolitan last night and left this
morning for home. He had been 10 New
York attending a meeting of a COM
pany Of which he is member.
