the attorneys of the applicants. in argu-
ing the case before them, did not ask it as
a privilege. but demanded it. as right.
Mr. Williamson declares that the appi-
cants have no rights in the matter, whlch
will infringe upon the rights OF their
neighbors.
MIR. Williamson then enters into an ex-
tended argument to show that the ma
iorfty of the property holders have either
withdrawn their consent previously given
or have entered earnest protest against
the location of the market house at the
place mentioned.
A protest of like character was received
yesterday by the Commissioners from
George Reisinger and others, stating that
they are utterly opposed to the applica-
ton This protest was signed by Mr.. Reis-
niger, and nine other property owners in
SQUARES 235, 2G3. and 236, adjoining The
proposed location Of the market house.
Statements were also received from
William L. Soleau and e. Hilton jack
son both of which took strong ground
agaius; the location Of the market house
at the corner OF Fourteenth and Streets.
The Commissioners have the matter Of
the issuing of the permit to Head Perci-

Andrew p. Duvall. the Attorney for the
District, has submitted to the Commits
sioners his opinion upon the memoran-
dunn and statement of Thomas z. Wagga-
man, relating to the improper assessment
of water main tax against part OF block
2. Meridian Hill. advertised for sale in
the list OF delinquent taxes for 1900. Mr.
Duvall advises the Commissioners that
the assessment should be Cancelled.
1T appears" he sayg, that in 1896
water main was laid in w Street end
there was an assessment therefor in the
name of Thomas Waggaman against part
of block q in Hall and Elyan's sub-di
vision Of Meridian Hill. In point OF fact
this parcel of land was not part Of block
2. but was south of the adjoining block
It's ownership has always been involved in
doubt. 1t was probably part Of Boundary
Street.

The Commissioners yesterday received
several communications from parties in
terested in the prohibiting OF the location
OF the Columbia market house at the cor
ner OF Fourteenth and V Streets north
west. The principal Of these was from
Irving Williamson. who presented various
facts and an argument 10 show that It
would be harmful TO the property inter-
ests OF the locality 10 have the market
house located there. He called attention
to the fact that the paper presented in
connection with the application for license
has the names OF parties whose consent to
tho proposed building vas obtained three
or four years ago Mr.. Williamson says
this fact is important as the consent thus
obtained is presented to the authorities
es having been obtained recently.
Mr.. Williamson calls attention TO the
fact that the paper submitted as containing
the consent Of certain number of prop
erty owners to the location OF the market
at the place mentioned has upon It not the
signatures of the property owners inter
ested, but that OF persone who undertake

Southern Railway Changes.

The Southern Railway will change its
trains between here and Raleigh. N. {.
The change. which will go into effect
on Sunday. will give Norfolk better
service to Charlotte and sleeping car
service to DanVile.
Danviilc is 30 miles from here. so
that a sleeping car service will be adj
vantageous TO that city and conVen-
fence to the business men here.
The change is made necessary ana
economical because. instead of hauling
trains over the Norfolk and Carolina
ROAD under a lease from the Atlantic
Coast Line. the Southern Railway VIII
haul them over the Atlantic ana Dan
VILE railroad which is part of the
Southern's system. This change will
not suit Raleigh SO well. perhaps. as it
stops ono train and part of the ser
vice Raleigh had before but 1t puts the
Norfolk service on an equality with the
Richmond service and is economical for
the road.

Rotations of Druggists and Doctors.

The Virginia Pharmaceutical Asso-

last night with an installation of Off

things.
a Norfolk druggist, Mr.. w. II. Mar
tin. was honored with the presidency
of the association yesterday. Mr.. Mar
tin has been prominent member of
the association for sometime and his
election was u suitable choice.
About four hours was taken up by
the druggists yesterday in the discus
sion OF the question of whether the
Virginia association should remain i'll
the National Association or not. There
seemed to be such q diversity of opin
ion as TO this that the matter was not
finally settled. but after nearly every
member present had spoken the whole
matter was referred to the president
and secretary. If these officials should
decide that the State association ought
to remain in the National Association
it will so remain; If they decide other
wise the Virginia pharmacists will cut
off from the National Association.
Until this question shall have been de-
cided there will be no appointment OF
delegates to the National Association.
Delegates were elected yesterday to
the American Pharmaceutical Associa-
Lion and to the National Wholesale
Druggists Association.
