Notes of Cases Recently Decided,
Which are Of Interest to
Our People.
RICHMOND ". EPPEs.

Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia.
March 20, 1900.
CODE 53532. AS TO JAILER'S FEES.
DOES NOT APPLY TO PERSONS
CHARGED WITH VIOLATION OF
CITY ORDINANCES. MANDAMUS
WILL NOT BE TO COMPEL PAY
MENT OF COMPENSATION DUE A
CITY OFFICER. WHERE SUCH
COMPENSATION is NOT FIXED
BY LAW. OR IS IN ANY WISE
DISCRETIONARY.
The court says:
This is u writ of error to judgment
of the hastings court of the city of
Richmond upon a petition by the SER
geant of the city for Il writ OF manda-
mus to compel the auditor of the city to
issue a warrant upon its treasurer for
certain sums of money claimed by the
sergeant to be due him, as jailer, for
receiving and supporting persons con-
fined in jail for violating ordinances of
the city, or. under u capias pro fine, for
failure to pay fines imposed for viola
ton of the said ordinances. The hust-
ings court awarded the writ.
Mandamus, no doubt, lies to compel
pensation due to an officer of a NUM-
cipal corporation, where the salary or
compensation Is fixed by law. and the
issue of a warrant therefor and the
payment thereof is a mere ministerial
duty: but it does not lie If the salary or
compensation has not been provided for
and fixed by law,or Is in any wise dis
cretionary. The part seeking the writ
must have clear and specific legal
ffrht 81 atY.,r n
there must be imposed on the officer
upon whom the demand is made the
specific legal duty to draw his warrant
therefor or to pay 1t.
1t Is an admitted fact in the case that
there is no ordinance OF the city OF
Richmond authorizing It's auditor to is
sue his warrant for any sum whatever
TO the sergeant of the city for receiving
and supporting persons confined in Jail
for a violation of the ordinances of the
city. The petitioner asserts that section
1882 of the Code prescribes and fixes the
compensation he is entitled to receive
for the said service. The city denies
that the section referred to has any ap-
plication to the case. but asserts. IL 1t
be held to apply, that his compensation
should be computed with reference to
the whole number OF prisoners In JAIL
those confined therein for offences COM
mitted against the commonwealth, as
we'll as those incarcerated for offences
against the city.
An examination of that section and
the preceding sections. to and including
section 1927. shows clearly that they APP
ply only to payments out OF the State
treasury for services rendered to the
commonwealth with respect to persons
who are charged with having violated
her laws, or been convicted therefor.
and that they do not refer in any man.
ner whatever to payments out OF the
city treasury for similar services rem
dered to the city with respect to per-
sons who are charged with, or have
been convicted of. the violation of its
ordinances.

HELLO! EVERYWHERE.
Telephone Lines B1idng all Over the
Territory,

A Grant county paper says; Grant
county is to have a telephone line that
will connect al it's mining camps. A
company has been chartered for similar
connection of the mining camps of Col
fax, Taos, Rio Arriba an | Santa Fe coun-
tiep, In Lincoln county work has boen
commenced on line to connect White
Oaks with surrounding places. A tele-
phone from Roswell to Carlsbad and
immediate settlements is spoken Of and
a system Of telephones is to radiate from
Albuquerque and from Las Vegas.
Thus the towns of New Mexico are,
iiguratively speaking brought nearer to
each other, and will feel more strongly

Cyaniding at HilIsboro.

The Philadelphia Mining and Milling
company, of which Senator Andrews is
president, has recently overhauled and
and most thorouhly equipped their cy
anide plant near Hilsboro, an important
part being the construction of a three
inch pipe line for about four miles over
hill and valley to Il never failing supply
of pure water. The mine is $50 feet
higher than the pumping station and the
large pumping engine forces the water
through the four miles of fpip pc at the rate
OF 800 gallons per minute at full capac
ity. 1t was originally intended to obtain
water through deep wells. possibly arte-
sian, but owing to the confgaration Of
the country, after several thousands Of
dollars had been expended, the project
was abandoned. l.-Dona Ana County Re

NAVIGATING HIGH IN AIR.
steetNbie Paiioo, Has Already Made
Several Aerial Trips in Paris.


Several Aeria, Trips in Paris.
Aeronauts all over the world have
been watching with deepest possible
interest a contest conducted in Paris.
where NJ. Dcutsch offered n prize Of
$4,000 to the airship which shall make
the first successful voyage of four miles
and return. The course" Is from Sur.
esnes to the Eiffel tower and back. and
the entire journey must be made in
half hour. Suresnes is a suburb Of
Paris fully four miles from the colossal
turning point. This makes the entire
distance at least eight miles. and TO
travel so far In the prescribed time limit
will necessitate a speed of sixteen miles
an hour or better. This Is a greater
velocity than has ever vet been attain.

lance. But the chief thing to be dem.
onstrated by the contest Is the possibil.
ity of steering an airship.

around the Eiffel tower and returned
TO the starting point. But when he was
about to make the attempt one day last
month in the presence Of the Deutsch
prize judges something went wrong
with his apparatus and the full trial
was postponed. He assembled for a
short distance, however. and executed
few maneuvers to show that the ship
could be steered. Only a light breeze
prevailed Mt the time, and hence the
test was not very significant. In fact,
