or course no one suspects that there
Is any sort of collision between Clerk
Of the Municipal Court Conroy and
Laurence Fahey, but Mr.. Fahey yester-
day instituted proceedings that will re-
suit In Tom Conroy remaining in pos.
session of his office until he gets so old
that they will have to take him out
and shoot him in order to realize on his
life insurance.
MIR. Fahey has asked a mandamus
directed to the judges of the municipal
court, ordering them to show cause
why they should not appoint Fahey
clerk Of the court
Inc proceeding is based on the propo-
sition that Mr.. Fahey is an old SOL
dier Mr.. Fahey fit" in the war, if he
didn't fit with Kiefer He was en-
listed March 10, 1865, and he remained
until the end Of the trouble. He has
been resident of st. Paul for many
years, and was a man of considerable
means when realty was valuable. He
mas not been much in the public eve
recently couple of years ago he ran
the cigar stand in the city hall. He
had some prominence in Democratic
politics also.
This is not the first attempt that has
been made by Mr.. Fahey to get Con-
roy's job. He filed an application June
dII6QIlOn
being paid to the application and there
being a rumor around Monday that
something was to be done with the
clerkship, the petition for the writ Of
mandamus was filed yesterday. If Mr..
Conroy could@do the thing that he most
wished, he would probably have done
what Mr.. Fahey did for him. Conroy's
tenure Of office Is not for a specified
term, but during the pleasure of the
Judges. Iher6 did not aOV vacancy
occur In the office when the judges were
elected this last spring. Billy Johnson
was out to create a vacancy that he
might himself fill, but that was as near
as 1t ever came to being declared va
can't. Section 8041 Of chapter $780, Laws
OF 1895, provides that preference shall
be given to old soldiers in making ap-
neutrality-suspicious. or employment
the statute reads. 1t nowhere says that
anybody shall be turned out to make
room for the old soldier If Conroy
should he removed now, of course the
judges would have to give heed to the
old soldier law. Inasmuch as there
mas never been the least idea Of Great
ing a vacancy, except to Immediately
I'LL 1t by the appointment of Billy John
son, 1t is not likely that the judges
Will create vacancy to have a man
forced on them. Mr.. Fahey has appar-
emily bottled up Admiral Cervera Con-
roy and can't even pull the cork him
self. If he could, 1t Is not likely that
he could slip into the bottle, for there
is another old soldier who thought of
the game before Mr.. Fahey did. AS
long ago as May Is, Theodore Parker
hied an old soldier application, and it
is ahead of Faheys proposition.
NO order has yet been made in the
mandamus petition.

FoRGAvE, BUT DID NOT PAY
Mrs. NeE Withdrew Her Divorce
Suit, but Her Lawyer Staryes.

Suit, but Her Lawyer Starves.
1t isn't safe to make a settlement
with your wife after she has com
menced divorce proceedings. Howard
T. Neff did that, and now it is I'D to
him to pay the lawyer whom his wife
engaged to bring suit against him. He
might not have had to settle if he had
not settled with his wife without con-
sulting the lawyer. Judge Orr yester-
day filed a decision in a case in which
just this question was decided.
In March, 1895, Lora Neff went to
Attorney O. H. Comfort, told him her
tale of marital woe and employed him
to bring proceedings for divorce for
her, the defendant being Howard T.
Neff. Mr.. Comfort started the suit,
but before it came to trial the nus
band and wife got together and settled
their differences. the case being dis
missed without costs. Mr. and Mrs.
Neff forgot their differences and lived
quietly together.
The lawyer did not forget. He sent
his bill to his client and then to his
clients husband, but 1t was not paid.
and he finally brought suit in the mu-
nicipal court for the recovery Of 800
for services.
Judge Orr decides that Mrs. Neff was
the wife of Howard T. Neff when the
suit was brought, that she Is still his
wife, that he Is liable for obligations
incurred by her and that he must nav
for having the suit brought against
him.

THE FIRST FROST.

Yesterday morning witnessed the first
killing frost of the season in this sec
ton, and before night vegetation show
ed the effects Of Its fatal touch, though
but q small portion Of the field and for
est foliage has yet fallen. With a few
more days of crisp antumnal weather,
however, the fields and woods so recent
ly q mass of varying shades OF green
will metemorphose beneath the blight
ing breath of the Frost King and have
become bare and brown.
Just now the trees and shrubs are
near the zenith of their beauty in the
glorious garb of nesset and gold with
more sombre shades of brown and dark
est green. Already the gum. the sumac
and the sorrel have set the landscape
aflame with their foliage. and the for
ests are becoming like Joseph's coat.
The whistle of the partridge and his
swift, whirling flight and the nimhlt
tread of the hare when the sanctity OF
his domain is invaded by the obtrusvc
foot of man all unite With the aspect of
nature in proclaiming the abdication of
summer and the advent of n new king.
Soon the naughty gobbler will lie him
TO heaven in the tree tops as nature
and instinct remind him of the ap-
prOach of Thanksgiving Day. and n
plantive tone will mark his once jubl-
liant undaunted yelp. Natures dealt,
means his early doom. but unlike Ma
ture the favorite fowl can anticipate no
resurrection in glorious plumage in the
spring

being considered for positions on the

up for practice. Captain Burke gave
the men nearly an hours signal prAr-

with great rapidity. The play was
marked by snap. dash and accuracy
Just as fast as the ball was downed
the men were lined up again and the

The work OF the halves was very salts.
factory
The new full back OF the team is Mr.
Long. an excellent man for the posi-.
ton. He weighs about 21o pounds and
is six feet three in height. He is almos,
certain to be made full back.
The team will again practice at 3:3c
this afternoon. and it is hoped
to have all the men present. Their at.
tendance is urged by Captain Burke
who is giving much valuable time 10 the
team and it's practice.
Among the valuable, new men besides
Adams and Long are Benjamin and
Treadwel. both experienced players
who will greatly strengthen the team
1t is practically certain that Adams will
be one of the halves and that Benjamin
will play tackle. Treadweil who is well
known in Virginia as 4 fine man in that
position. will play one of the ends.
These men. with the old members of
the team. will practically complete IT,
Just as soon as all the men can be got
ten out to practice the team will be
made UP and then more effective work
can be done in shaping up for future
contests. .g

VISIT TO THE HOSPITAL.
Many Very Sick Patients Among the
Last Installment Received.

"A Daily Press representative yester-
day visited the Josiah Simpson Hospital
and there learned that there were few
Virginians among the train load of pa
tents from the Seventh Army Corps
which arrived yesterday. In fact, there
were but three Of the Fourth Regiment
boys among the number, but they are
all quite sick of fevers. These three are.
Private Jerry German. Company c.
Newport News; assigned to Ward g.
Private Joseph F. Kahn. Company d
home Phoebus; assigned to Ward 4.
Private Martin B. League, Company
D. home Hampton: assigned to Ward T.
1t was enormously stated that PrI-
waite Ed. Leach, of Company D, was
among the sick arrivals. but it seems
that his name was confused with that
of League.
Colonel Woodruff, the commandment
at the hospital. stated to the reporter
that large majority Of the 1877 patients
received from Jacksonville Sunday were
very i'll and had to be Uttered from the
train to the hospital. There they were
distributed among the wards and imme-
date attention given them. Such an
accession to the number Of patients OF
course makes an appreciabIe difference
but Colonel Woodruff stated that his
corps of surgeons, nurses and attend
ants was equal to the demands upon it.
and that the hospital had not reached
the limit of Its capacity yet.
The clerical and executive forces were
busy yesterday when the reporter called.
having their heads and hands full of
work. but not too busy to be courteous
and accommodating.
The convalescents at the hospital are
not permitted full liberty. but are per-
mtted one evening out per week. Some
Of them chafe a bit under the restra int,
but it is doubtless best for them from
every point OF view.
The chaplain recently assigned to the
hospital will hold services next Sunday
and regularly thereafter.

ENTERTAINED AT A SMOKER.

Hon. w. 4. Young the Guest of Hamp-
ton Lodge b. P. O. Elks.
Hon. William A. Young. who spoke
at the courthouse Monday night, was
Informally entertained by Hampton
Lodge Of Elks at their handsome lodge
rooms after the speaking. That gentle
man is himself a prominent and active
member of the order and was therefore
among brethren. There were about
twenty-five or thirty persons present.
among whom We're number of prom
inent citizens who are members of the
order. Besides being entertained, Mr..
Young succeeded in entertaining his
hosts very effectively While he demon
strated his abilities as political speak
err by his address, it is as raconteur
and good comrade that Mr.. Young is in
his bright particular element. He tells
story finely and brings out all the hu-
NOR of an anecdote naturally and easily.
His presence. therefore. in congenial
company putting perfectos contributed
much to their pleasure and was hear
THY enjoyed by him.
When called on for speech the hon
ored guest responded in an address OF
about twenty minutes duration. dis
cussing principally the aims, objects
tenets and achievements of the order in
a manner that demonstrated his faml-
iarity with them. His talk was bright.
ened at intervals by the injection Of bits
of humor 1t elected warm commenda.
ton from those present.
Mr.. F. S. Collier, in a brief address
expressed the pleasure Of the lodge a.
the presence of its guest and welcomed
him to the comforts and privileges o
the cosy quarters. The speaker wa:
very happy in his address.
Hon. f. e.. Montague. who was pres
ent, also made pleasing address, am
altogether the evening was a very pleas
ant one to all concerned.
