faction. Mr.. II. V. Ballard, OF the Nor
folk Navy-yard. has been detailed to
install the system at this station. MIR.
Ballard is an expert In the line of labor
employment. His thoroughness and
ability in this line are pronounced. He
is most pleasant gentleman. The OBJ
ject of labor boards or boards of en-
ploymcnt is to so arrange as to supply
competent mechanics and .workmen
without delay or Inconvenience to the
station. This system has proved salts
factory to conscientious workmen, be-
cause favoritism is eliminated and
merit wins. Persons desiring to make
application should write to or call at
the office of tho labor board, at the
station, for blanks, etc. Veterans OF
the civil tUnion) and Spanish-Ameri-
can wars, honorably discharged from

worlmen in future will be employed
throughthis board. First come, first
served. Mostly laborers have SO far
applied. Skilled mechanics Should take
advantage of the opportunity and reg

Yesterday morning white man, who
gave his name as John l.. Garrls and
claimed to have come from Severn,

siderable trouble. He said that he had
been separated from his wife for q
e2r.-she living -aa+aeealls-eeafttss y,

He came to this city two weeks ago

they separated he lived on Green

moved to Severn, N. c.
Dr. Cnlpepper was sent for and pre-
scribed for him. and after he had eaten
