from the punishment of offenders as,pro-
vticd by law and dependent upon the de-
votion of individual citizens to the pub

II W rclegated to the realm Of politics. AID

an effort to sink the individual in The

practical denial of the writ.

The minority Plan was constitutional
because the opportunity. for mal-adminis-

VISITED ..WEsrBROOlz.,'
With Mr.. Douglas E. Taylor. a real
estate agent, of No. Ills East Main
Street Mr. sperry visited the .,d1nter
place with his wife, and liked it so we'll
that he; asked for terms. These terms
were forthcoming and now the only
point at issue between Mr.. sperry, and
Mr. Taylor is Inc quantity of land to go
with the house. This, 1t is confidently
believed. will be settled within few
days, and then the formal transfer Of
possibly the most beautiful country home
in the South, outside Of B!itnore. Will
be made.
In speaking last night at the Lexington
about the matter, Mr.. Sperry Sa1es:
Final details of the negotiations nave
not been arranged yet, but 1t now. seems
more than probable that the property
will cor,e to me. 1t is only question
OF a few days, as my wife and myself
both like .Westbrool1,n and tnerc should
be no hitch in terms. We went out TO
the place this afternoon with Mr.. TaE-
lor, the agent, and looked ever It.
WILL St.-l.I5 HERE.
..When we came TO Richmond it Was
not our purpose to buy property mere
but we liked the city SO lnuc-l that
these negotiations have been undertaken
and we VIII settle here for good. fiy
coal interests in West Virginia VIII
either be sold or leased 50 that my
presence there will not be required. and
then we viii take UP oar permanent
home here
While here Mr.. Sperry has also looked
at several other valuable pieces CO prop
erty, but dismissed them all from his
mind whe:, he saw '.Westbrook." It is
possible that when the Ginter place is in
his possession he may invest other Sims
Of money here, but this, at the present
time is purely nroblematical. He is
worth, it is estimated: about $5,c0ooO9 and
his coming here would place hir1 in the
front ranks of the capitalists of this
State.
..Westbrook' was constructed by plans
approved by Major Ginter after long
consideration, and is considered one of.
the most perfect country places in the
word. Tho total costso the construction
of the building proper and the necessary.
surrounding. buildings and Improvements
was about S25o.CCo. and this, taken with
the property makes it run well above
$4,000. The place is now owned ny z-ars. MIS-:

A1AGNIFIcENr PLACE.
The land upon which Westhr was
built was purchased from the 1ohn B.
Young estate. Major Ginter worked Won
ders there. Hedges were planted. flower
beds laid out and drlveways established.
Major Ginter did not believe in having a
ha nf1some scountry-seat withou rst-ciass
roads and West tbrooks received the benz
eft of this belief Large tracts of land
were purchased and a. network of first
80 roads was established. Thes are
said to be the finest Inacadarnizcd roads
in the Tn ted Stat
cdr. sperry said last nish that he woHld
Snrobabis rman in Richmond So., about
ten DAYS, WHICH will gise4 him plenty of
fine to close This deal for Nest brook. g
arter which he ana his amily will prob
ably return to West " irsinia to close up
