MANAGER WELLS BACK AT HOME
He Says the Atlantic League VIII BE
~StrOnHPr Thnn Int Nenr.

Mr.. a k Wells returned last evening
from Allentown, Pa, where he has been
in attendance upon the meeting of the
Atlantic Baseball League. Mr.. Wells
says it is now definitely determined that
Richmond will continue in the Atlantic
circuit, and the matter being settled, he
will begin at once to sign his team.
The league m~agnates, MIR. Wells said,
appeared not a bit loath to part with
Norfolk. but they wouldn't hear to New
arks retirement from the circuit. II is
more than likely that Hartford will be
gwen TO the Eastern League in exchange
for Wilkesbarre, and it is an assured fact
That Scranton will take the place Of Nor
FOLK. Newark will not give the league any
trouble, Mr.. Wells thinks. The decision
OF the National Board was too emphatic
To admit of this, and the new manager.
who seems disposed to prove a trouble
some brother, will. in all probability, be
whipped into line before the season opens
next spring.
The league, as composed of Richmond.
Reading, Lancaster, Scranton. Wilkes
barre, Allentown. Newark. and Paterson.
VIII be much stronger than last season.
as both Wilkesbarre and Scranton are
excellent baseball cities, and the man
ayers of the league are much encouraged
for the future.
The assurance of Richmond's remaining
In the Atlantic Leagu practically kills
the prospects for the Virginia League. as
that organization cannot possibly hone 10
succeed without this city on It's circuit.

GETS IT'S CHARTER.
THE NEW ELECTRICAL COMPANY
ORDINANCE is PASSED.
ONLY TWO VOTES IN OPPOSITION.
The Feature Transferring the Penal
Deposit Of the Old mpn TO the
New One Caused ObjectiOn-siGned
by Mayor Taylor.

AT a special meeting last night the Com
mon Council concurred in the action OF
the Board Of Aldermen amending the
franchise Of the Virginia Electric Com
pany. which had been acquired by the
Virginia Electrical Railway and Develop
nient Company, in accordance witt the
petition OF the present owners, and adopt
ing an ordinance providing for the trans
fer of the 5000 bond deposited by the
Southern Electric Company. which or
ganization has also been absorbed by the
new concern.
. There was considerable discussion OF the
feature OF the ordinance providing for the
transfer, but the vote was particularly
unanimous in its favor. After the session
OF the Council the ordinance was engross-
ed. signed by the presidents Of the Alder
men and Common Council. and approved
by the Mayor.
The following members were present
when President Caskie's gavel fell at I4y
o'clock: Messrs. Bloomberg. Camp, Cur
lis. Ebel, Ferguson. Grimes, Gunst, Har-
relson, Feeke. Hobson. Mccarthy. Mills.
pollard, Shea. Tanner. Teefey, west, VIVA
ien. Williams. Winston, and Woody.
The president had read the request for
a special session, setting forth the object,
and signed by FIVE members.
THE ORDINANCE OPPOSED.
Mr.. Bloomberg, In an extended speech,
opposed the adoption of the ordinance,
dwelling upon the feature transferring
the bond. lie said his chief reason for
opposing the ordinance was that he had
always had very strong views as 10 the
sacredness OF a contract. The Southern
Electric Company had not complied with
it's contract TO complete It's plant. and
should forfeit It's deposit.
On motion, Mr.. f. X. Williams. attor-
new for the Virginia Electrical Railway
and Development Company, was invited
TO explain the ordinance TO the Council.
which he did Ia a speech OF some length.
He said the 5000 deposited by the South
ern Electric Company, which had been
succeeded by the Virginia Electrical Rail-
way and Development Company. was not
put In as a penalty 10 be paid In case OF
forfeiture. but simply as an earnest OF
good faith. He wanted 10 have the 5000
placed 10 the credit Of the new company
a very much more important enterprise,
In that IL was much larger and would
he OF very much greater benefit 10 Rich
n'"nd. He said II the 5000 deposited by
