The taking of testimony in the bank
ruE-cy case of Henry Hofhelmer, re-
Gently brought in the bankruptcy court
at New York city, was begun in Nor.
folk yesterday before Commissioners
Hugh Miller
Hofheimer, Son & Co. failed in Nor
\ folk many years ago with liabilities ag-
gregating over 100000. Henry Hof-
heimer was member of this firm, and
schedule of his Liabilities amounted to
about the same sum.
The evidence of several Norfolk Wit
nesses, who were preferred creditors in
the deed of assignment OF Hofheimer,
Son Dc Co., was taken among that of
others. and it was shown that prefer
ences in this city, amounting to nearly
$3o.0oo, were fraudulent. by the prefer
red creditors themselves. One of Nor
folks leading business men testified
that preference to him of S12, 900 wac
made without his knowledge or con-
sent, and was not bona tide, as the firm
owed him nothing.
Another prominent Norfolk gentle
man testified ito the same effect with
reference to q preference of something
over $4,000. The taking of dispositions
was continued over until this morning

A STREET FAIR.
SUGGESTED BY CANTON INDUS
TRIAL FAIR AND CARNIVAL
COMPANY

The Canton Industrial Fair and earn
ival Company. Of Canton, O., has writ
ten to the Board of Trade and 3. NJ. A..
of Norfolk, suggesting a street fair for
this city.
This company has just closed TWEEN
ty-seven weeks street fair circuit at
Savannah, Ga. The circuit began at
Chillicothe, o., and included Columbus
Rochester and various cities in Ohio,
Pennsylvania, New York Michigan
West Virginia, Tennessee, and Georgia
BY its circuit system this company
secures midway attractions under ex-
tended contracts, and, in fact, reduces
the street fair to business basis. The
idea of the street fair is to bring large
crowds of visitors to city from con-
siderable area of the country surround
Ing 1T. and their presence Is expected
to swell the volume of business In the
city.
Many of the visitors to street fairs
made purchases from merchants In all
lines of trade. Mr.. Dawes has request
ed full information from this company
relative to street fairs, as it may be
deemed advisable to have street fair
in Norfolk next summer or fall

Tomorrow might prove detrimental!
Again; while the Virginia Electric Com
pany, under It's present management
might live up to the letter and spirit OF
tho contract, who can say, that in the
natural, development of corporate in
terests, In time to come this company
may not be in the hands of reckless Of
flclals whose only curb would be the
knowledge or the city's right to with
draw the privileges so ungraciously
abused? In this not improbable state
of affairs the amendment in question Is
the only safeguard.
BY the incorporation Of the amend
ment, the exercise OF the powers grant
ed will always be subject to the super
vision and control of the Councils, who,
if they are regardful of their duty to
their constituents, can always insure
a proper discharge of the duties impos-
ed upon the company accepting the
franchise. II this Is not done, the city
is placed in the helpless position of
granting a valuable franchise OF we'll
night indeterminate duration without
the power of regulating its enjoyment
as time or occasion may demand.
Those entrusted with the public inter-
ests should not be parties to- such an
act. To say that such franchises with
out such restrictions have been grant
ed by the Councils on former occas ions
is to state an unfortunate occurrence,
not TO answer the argument in favor of
the restriction.

HAS ITS DIFFICULTIES
Land Grabbing Not So Easy When
It Comes Down to Practice.
Mr. 5u,tis Tenaer. sao.s1 Back Tnxc.
on Two Valuable Pieces or Prop
er,y, but His Money WINS Again
DecIined-nis Way Looking NJ IL.

Mr.. w. q. Swami, of Powhatan coun-
have concluded that land grabbing I'M
der the famous "Land-Grabbers' Act
has it's difficulties. The latter, as coun-
sci for the former. yesterday afternoon
rendered Miss Cora " Griffin, deputy
clerk. the sum of s30.31 in full payment
of two pieces of property for which they
had entered a claim. The sheckels
fins desk by the attorney, but the for
mer promptly declined to touch the
money. AS the attorney replaced it in
his pocket he remarked that the peo-
pie didn't Seem to know that he could
come into possession of the property
whether the taxes were accepted or not
lie mad rendered the sum due, and the
refusal Of the authorities to accept the
same only made his client that much
richer.
To-day Judge Hanckel will render his
decision on the demurrer of the defence
to Mr.. JustiS' application for a man.
damus to compel Clerk Register to ac-
cept 1894 taxes on another piece of pro-
perty. The only difference between this
case and the one which arose yester-
day is that in the former the taxes were
paid by the owner of the property after
the four months limit for redemption
had expired, while In the latter the
taxes have not yet been offered by the
owners. Mr.. Justis claims that the
owners could not pay the taxes now
AS the limit expired on the LIST Of this
month. Judge Hanckcrs decision In
the former case will govern to a great
extent the future proceedings OF the
land grabbers.
The property upon which taxes were
rendered yesterday is lot on Marshall
avenue. Brambleton, owned by T. T.
Thomas. and a house and lot on New
castle street, owned by Miss Lucy X
Walters. The delinquent taxes on the
former amount 10 $500 and on the lat
ter S15.24. The two pieces of property
together are worth from $4,000 to $4,000.
Mr.. Swami will make n tender OF
taxes on n number of other pieces of
property soon.
DELTNQUENTS PAYING UP.
The land grabbers" are looking for
ward to securing some good claims
from the delinquent taN-list for 1897
AS previously stated In the Virginian-

after Tomorrow. However, the delin-
quents continue to pay up. and It looks
as If the most valuable claims which
the "1and grabbers" had anticipated
will be settled

A Queer Safety Deposit Boy.

Piedmont, w. Va, May 21.-Early
in 1898 a tin box containing valuable
papers belonging to the town of Pied
mont disappeared from the safe in the
council chamber. Recently Mayor W.
NJ. r'oulk received a letetr from Will
liam BOyce, of Philadelphia, stating
that while repairing a Baltimore &
Ohio box car in that city he found the
tin box under the car, between the
floor and body bolster. BY request
Mr.. Boyce sent the box to Mr.. Foulk.
Among other papers it contained $759
worth of Piedmont water bond coup
ons, uncanceled and which are nego-
table. They had been cut from the
bonds in 1897 and represented IS 300
worth OF bonds. About this time a
quantity Of bouds were sold at Frost
burg, Md, and the accrued Interest
coupons detached. At the same time
the box was missing, fire insurance
policies OF the Piedmont Opera House,
which is owned by the town, also dis
appeared, but they were not in the box
when found, 1t is presumed thd box
was put under the car in the Piedmont
yard over year ago and has been tray
cling around over the country since.
until found as stated.
