City of Richmond for $4,000, alleged 70 oe
the amount OF damages sustained os ute
company in the collapse OF the o1o
Eleventh-Street sewer. which took piace
on July e, 1858.
At that time a number OF business
houses were more or less damaged by the
overflow, and il was quite d Wnlle before
the city could remedy affairs, but event
uaily a new sewer was connected III.
The old sewer that collapsed was puiie
in about 1870, and it was alleged mat us
precarlous condition had been known Tor
some time.
UNDER THE CANAL
The sewer ran under the Canal oaSitl,
and through the wear and tear OF years 1t
is said the old sewer grew into defec-
tive and dangerous condition, ana was
quite dilaDdated near the point at WHICH
the sewer passed under the foundation Oh

DAMAGES TO THE MILL
This flow, it is alleged, greatly damaged
the machinery of the mill, and the eastern

time. are Messrs. Leake & Garter.
On November II, 1888, Messrs. Harwood
Brothers, of Eleventh and Cary Streets,
whose place of business and stock was
damaged by the detective sewer, entered

The case was tried and on May 1G, 1899, a
jury in the Law and Equity Court, Judge
Lamb presiding for Judge Minor. awarded
a verdict for 5000 damages. Closely fol-
lowing this suit came that of the Gallego
Mills Company, and it is understood that

CROP CONDITIONS.
Too Much Rain in Some Sections and
Too Little in Others.

WASHINGTON. June 12-The Weather
Bureaus summary Of crop conditions says;
Heavy rains in the Central and East
Gulf States. including portions OF Ken
lucky and Tennessee, have retarded Gull
tivation, and in some places caused in
jury to crops.
The high average temperatures with
generally sufficient moisture in the great
corn States of tue central valleys. have
been decidedly favorable to corn, which
has made rapid growth, although need
ing cultivation in some sections. In
Maryland, Virginia and portions Of North
Carolina and Texas, corn is needing rain,
while it has suffered from excessive rains
in the Central Gulf States.
Winter wheat harvest is now in progress
in Virginia, and will begin in Kentucky
this week. Except some lodging in Ken
lucky and Tennessee, the reports gem
orally indicate that the crop has made
satisfactory advancement during the
week.
AS result of the light rains in Texas,
much of the State receiving no precs2ita-
ton, cultivation has becn vigorously push
ed, and there has been a decided inn
provement in the condition of cotton. Sew
aral days of fair weather are still needed,
however to put the crop in a proper state
of cultivation in some parts of Texas.
While there IS general complaint OF lice
cotton over the central and eastern por-
ton OF the cotton belt the crop has made
substantial progress, although quite gem
orally in need of cultivation Tue least
favorable reports are received from Louis
lana. where cotton has made but slow
growth, and is turning yellow

attention..
Much interest is being manifested in
political circles in the contest for Congress
in the Tenth District. So far as the
Democratic nomination is concerned.
This promises to be by all odds. the hot
test fight in the State this year.
Although the District Committee recon-
mended that the delegates to the Buena
Vista Convention. which meets on the
first day of August, be elected in all the
counties and cities on the 18th OF July,
many of the counties have disreSarded
the recommendation, and have fixed ear
ler dates for that purpose.
buckingham and AppomattoN have
already elected. and Instructed for Sena-
tor II. D. Flood. as long as his claims are
before the convention.
Following are the dates set by some OF
the other counties:
Allegheny, June Goth; Highland, June
2lst; Cumberland, June 26th Nelson,
June 30th: Botetourt, Rockbridge and
Buena Vista. July 18th.
MIST of the counties will hold mass
meetings. In Nelson Il primary will be
held between Hon. W. G. Loving and
AIr. Z. r. Gordon. and whichever shall
get a majority OF the votes Will name
the entire delegation.
1t is regarded as q coincidence that the
Third and Tenth District conventions
will contain the same number Of dele
gates, and will each meet on the 1st day
OF August.

charged with robbing W. E. Tinsley OF
the sum of $500 in the house of Mollie
White, on Sunday morning, May 2oth,
came up in the Hastings Court yesterday.
Mr. Tinsley testified that he had the
sum of $3.50 in his hip pocket when he
entered the Brittle womans room and
went to sleep and that when he awoke he
had but $3.50. He said that no one knew
of the money but the woman, and that be-
fore he lost it she had made several COM
,nents on the size Of the roll. He had
a short while previously counted the
roll while in Bannisters restaurant, and
no one had an opportunity TO take the
money in the meanwhile.
The witness was quite emphatic in his
testimony. and said that he had been
ruined and had been unable to rest since.
Upon cross examination he said that
when he first came 20 the city on the
Saturday night of Carnival Week he had
gone around and seen the sights-had seen
Bosco and ridden on the merry-go-rounds
and enjoyed himself After that he went
into a crap joint where he lost some mon
ey.
Counsel for defense cross-examined wit
ness closely and he said that he would
tell the whole story over again and
converse on the matter for two weeks
with counsel if he wanted to.
He said he was not drunk. He could
drink forty or fifty times without being
phased. He had the reputation OF being
able to drink more than any man in Pc
tersburg. This statement caused much
laughter in the courtroom.
Witness was on the stand nearly two
hours. and was quite exhausted when he
was excused.
At late hour in the afternoon, a ver-
dict of acpuittal was brought in.
