ltichmond, Va, Jan. 1S.-The Vir-
ginia Supreme Court to-day handed
down number OF opinions.
Among them was the case OF the
West End Land Company of Norfolk
VS.. II. w. Claiborne, appealed from the
Circuit Court of the city of Richmond.
In September. $780, Gillian and others
procured an option for sixty days on n
tract of land of sixty acres in Norfolk
from one billiard for $4,000
They afterwards became associated
with the owners of other tracts. and
the whole was sold TO IL joint stock
company. Claiborne subscribed to
twenty shares on the understanding
that there were no promoters interests
to be provided for, but later becoming
suspicious. refused to pay the balance
on the stock, and suit was instituted.
The original verdict was in favor of
Claiborne, but this decision was re-
vcrsed by Judge Keith.
CITY VS.. YOUNG EFT. AIS.
In the case OF the city of Norfolk VS..
Young and others, from the Circuit
Court of the city of Norfolk, the opin-
Ion of the lower court was affirmed.
The case is one where the CITY made
an assessment on the property owners
Tor local improvements, and the con-
stitutional right of the city to make
such assessment was denied. Judge
Buchanan held that the notice given
wholly failed to designate n tribunal
before which the defendant had the
right to appear to expose any wrong
assessment imposed upon him. and
under the law such assessment was
void.
He found no error in the decree np-
nealed. and affirmed the opinion giving
decree against the city.

REPUBLICAN CITY
COMMITTEE FIGHT.
Grows Out of Efforts to Squelch
the Anti-Ziegenhein Forces
in Four Wards.
BAD SPLIT IS THREATENED.
Meeting Tomorrow AT Which the
Trouble VIII Come Up for Ad-
justment, but the Pros
pect Is Squally.

The Republican City Committee is en-
gagged at the present time IN a quarrel that
threatens To split {. into two factions. \
meeting will be held tomorrow. at which
time the settlement CT the ward contests
will come up for final adjudication.
The Republicans have trouble on their
hands in four wards They are she Tenth.
in which the case of KrGtz against Besch
IS the point Of issue; the Twentieth. in
which Shaefer is conteStinS the seat of
Brunk: the Twenty-fourth. IN which there
IS trouble between Blake and Renrners, and
the Tweuty-hfth. in which both Aiyerson
and Kirby are contestants.
In all the wards the. trouble arose over
the attempt of the Ziegenhein machine to
control the delegates TO the Kansas City
convention and also TO dominate the City
Committee. The fight in the wards is Bit
Ter. and especially so in the Tenth, which
has been taken into the courts by Mr..
Kratz. Notwithstanding tn. action Of the
State Convention. IN seating the kratz dele
cation, the machine has already determined
that he shall not have seat in the City
Committee.
This has been determined in a star cham
her session Of the Ziegeuhejn members of
the committee. The committee selected 4
sUbcommitte. with John T. owen as chair
man. He made his report at the last meet
ing Of the city Committee. in which the
following resolution was adopted:
''TfNI the committee recommend the on
posing factions In each or tse contestins
wards he requested To Jay aside their con-
tests and select compromise candidate,
and that ten days De granted the factions
10 select and file the names
But the bald etfyortery Of the City Hall
gang goes further than that. The report
recommends that in the event Of failure
on the part Of the opposing factions 10
select = candidate in the manner specified,
then Won honorable body declare vacan-
cies IN tn wards and I'LL same by election
al The Central Committee"
This effsCtgllly gags the anti-Zieg enhein
members CT the committee who We're recCS
nizsd by the Kansas City convention.
The delegations from these wards were
the sole arbiters of their selections To
nullify the action Of the delegates. throw
ing aside the inGorSe naeGt OF the state Con-
statement that IL is rotten" II the Cen
trail Committee takes such action as is pro-
posed in the Owens resolution il puts it,
IF in the light that An action at court will
not uphold it Taking the matter out u
the hands of the voters IS stretching the
game too far.
Besides throwing kratz down in the Tenth
Ward, II is sad the committee viii recon-
mend that Fred Smith be seated in the
Twentv-fourth Ward I'm place Of Blake and
the committee threaten a revolt at any such
tactics. They VIII not Sta nd for the decision
of the subcommittee. Then there is Mr..

he will stop al this carly stage in the pro-
ceedirgs.

part Of the State this year, according TO
the statements of fruit growers. President
A. r. Sprague of the Southern California
Deciduous Fruit Exchange. IN an inter
view. says:
There will be very little dried fruit in
this section this year. except that which
comes from the North. There will be no
shipments of peaches or prUnes.
The apricot crop also IS very short. Only
here ana there ls there n locality In which
the apricot crop approaches the average
This shortage, for the most part, is
caused by most unseasonably warm wealth
or in January. followed by cold, but not
frosty. weather. The same weather condi-
tons exist in Arizona also.
This condition of the deciduous fruit
crop is most disastrous TO the Southern
California growers, because many Of them
viii have absolutely nothing ito sell this
year. But the trees are now ieafing out and
getting their usual appearance, so that
with good rainfall during the coming sea-
son We may hope for full crops another
year"
