HATTON WANTS $tOO,2sS.67.
DEMANDED THAT SUM FOR
SEWER WORK.
DONE BY HIS COMPANY AT NEW
PORT NEWS-CITY MAY REFUSE
TO PAY AND LAW SUIT WILL
PROBABLY RESULT.

A dispatch from Newport News last
night said:
T. Chalkley Hatton, engineer of the
Delaware Trust, Safe Deposit and Title
Insurance Company, which took up the
sewer contract where Honan e. Sons
dropped il, came down from Whining
ton, Del, and walked into the office OF
the city auditor and demanded of that
official that he turn over to him for his
company the sum of 500, ,29S.67.
According to a sworn statement pre-
sented. the company claims that the
city owes it $63,509.12 more than the
consulting engineer figured the con-
tract calls for. According to Consult
ing Engineer Potter, who has figured
out estimates each month Of amounts
due the company. the total amount of
work done to October !. 1899, has been
worth under the contract $105, ,3S9. so.
OF this amount there has been paid the
company OF its predecessors S6S, ,445.07.
In addition, there was some time ago
placed in the city treasury to the credit
Of the company the amount due IL un-
der the cOntract-s21, 1861. About
$4,000 of this amount, still in the
hands Of the treasurer, has been gar
nisheed. There has been retained un-
der the contract Is per cent. Of the esti-
mates, amounting to s15,SOs.62. Adding
these last two items together, ii Is seen
that the total amount due the company
under the contract, including the Is
per cent. retained. is s36, ,944.55, or just
s63, 509.12 less than the company claims
under its statement.
1t is quite possible that the muddle
will have to be settled in the courts.

IN HIS NAME.

Charleston. S. C, April 2e. 1899
ca the $3.50 of January, 1873, was formed
the Organization now ksown as Cbristove
Mission; the original membership was four
teen, it has now reached the fonrsco,e mark
The Cbristove Mission 10 womeo's work
for women, its OBJECT being to rescue from
their miserable lives of sin and degradation
those poor unfortunates who are only wait
ing sd open door to enter respectable life.
During the year 1893, the Mission rescued elk
of their erring sisters, and placed them 10
positions where they are now earning an
hooest livelihood.
The need FOR Re:cue Home 10 Charleston,
where these repentaut ones can 6nd shelter,
until they are prepared to enter some 6eld Of
industry, is SO pressing. that the Mission mas
determined, by the help of God, to open such
Home however humble it may be- before
the fall sets in. They, therefore, appeal 20
the people of the State fer help TO enable
,hen, TO carry but this project; 20 matter
bow small the amou0', It will be welcome
aad every penny will be made to tell.
Anyone 10 sympathy with the Mission and
who is ao!e TO assist this WORK, even in the
smallest way, are asked to forward their
contribution to The President of the Mi:sioo,

A " ord in Addition.

Mr. Editor: All that you hare said con-
cerning the decoration Of the soldiers gra7es
is true; but other things are true beside
those you have mentioned. For instance,
the persods who attended in carriages and
buegies seemed to be utterly indifferent to
the fact that by taking possession Of positions
just in front of the stand. they completely
obstructed the view of those VIC stood be-
hind them. The vehicles were obstruction
enough, acd the children with ga:lands were
compelled to feel their way among them cao-
tiously: tut tie raised umbrellas were aa
ADDED trouble, apd those in the vehicles
seemed oblivious Of the fact that persons in
the rear could not see through them.
Nor was this ell. Some carelcssly drove
across burial lots regardless of the buried
dead, aud when the ceremonies were over, the
sight was pitiable to look upon. To this
must te added the rsces away from the
grounds, the ino7dinate Anxiety Of some to
get away 6rst, and the disregard of The sur
rouudings.
1t is to be hoped that in futura the COM
nittee will hold things better in hasd, and
refuse to admit any vehicle within the co.
closure The laying of flowers upon the
graves of the dead is sheer mockery, if while
the garlapds are being placed, irreverence
prevails and zee 70 good result that can
come from driving over tie grave Of one man
to put flowers on the grave Of aoosber-
