IS BUYING TOBACCO.
New OsterIoh Concern Begins Work
Big Plant for Continental.

The new tobacco manufacturing con-
Germ, composed of Mr.. Adolpll osterloh
and associates, is just beginning to make
its first purchases OF tobacco Win view
to laying in stock.
The company intends to get its brands
before the public by the middle of June
or little later.
The company is composed Of a number
of young men and is said to be well
backed up financially. 1t starts cut Hlin
every prospect Of success, and mas sEe
good wishes OF all the older tobacco Men
of the city.
The Continental Tobacco Company is
considering the very great enlargement
OF the output Of its p. Il Mayo d
Brother Branch at Richmond by the
construction of a 100000 plant on shochoe
Creek, at Washington Street
The enterprise Will give employment
to 800 or 1906 people. The property which
the company is considering lies along
Shockoe Creek from Washington Street
for a distance Of 500 feet
The location Of the plant upon Shockoe
Creek is to some extent conditioned upon
the cooperation Of the city in the i'm
provement Of property in that section
by the Strengthening and Walllng IN OF
the creek. The plan approved by the
the valley alongside of the Scaboard Air
Line tracks.
The advantages OF this location for
manufacturing enterprises with the Sea
board on one side and the Chesapeake
and Ohio on the other, are very great.
The fact that the Continental Company
is considering 1t may foreshadow its De-
coming an extensive tobacco manufactuf-
ing section.

Tobacco Company of Great Britain, VINO

NEWS OF THE RAILROADS.
To Relieve Congestion at Main Street
Station-The Express Strike.

The strike of the express agents along
the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway is APP
parently no nearer settlement than
when it first went into effect some weeks
ago, and while only the smaller offices
are affected, the closing OF these is at
fordiug no little Inconvenience to the
patrons. The accounts of the officers
of the express company and those OF the
men who are managing the strike are
far from agreeing. The former claim
that the strike is not having a perceptible
influence on their business, and that they
who have gone out. They say that the
number of offices affected is only about
thirty-four along the line, and that these
are offices where the business done is
very small. The strikers, on the other
hand, give the names of some eighty Of
fees which they say are closed, and Will
stay SO until their demands are grant
ed. Their principal ooject in striking is
to secure minimum salary of 50 per
month, whether. the commission allowed
on business handled amounts to that sum
or not. They claim that the work done
is worth that amount of remuneration,
and that they neither want the job at
less nor will they take it again unless
the company complies with their re-
quest. They assert further that the
strike is not entirely confined to the
James River Division, as lie company
claimed, but that several offices on the
main line are also affected.
The strike seems to be good natured
ore on both sides, the agents simply de-
cls ring that they will not work at the
salary paid, and the company being
equally firm In their statement that they
cannot afford to pay more and will not
run the offices at loss to the company.
Thus the matter stands, and as the sea-
son of the year is a dull one Tor many. of
the sections where the offices are closed
there is apparently nothing that will bring
the matter to a crisis speedily.

LAW is UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Bond Issue in Henrico Has to Lay Over
Awhile-Other News.


In the Henrico County Court yester-
day Judge I. Ashby Wickham rendered
a decision to the effect that the act of
the Legislature of 1900, in reference to
the public roads of Henrico. is unconsti-
tutional, and that if the gentlemen who
are working for a bond issue and a spe-
cial election TO decide the question wish
TO carry out their plans, they will have
to effect a change in the law at the
next Legislature. There will be no APP
peal from the decision, since the uncon-
Stitutionality of the act is recognized
even by the supporters of the plan for
road Improvement.
The act provides that the fund shall be
distributed by four commissioners. and
further requires that all Of these commits
sioners shall be freeholders. Judge
Wiclham decided that this provision was
violation of section 2. article g. of the
Constitution, which provides that ''all
persons entitled to vote shall be eligible
to any office within the gift of the peo-
pie
The office of commissioner, Judge Wick
ham held, is in the gift of the people
and therefore the act is unconstitutional.
No further step will be taken in the
matter until the next Legislature when
an attempt will be made to change the
law When the matter is finally gotten
before the people it is more than proba-
BILE that the entire Sce0,000 bond issue will
be asked for instead Of the s5o,00N The
majority of the gentlemen who have been
working for the issue think the latter
amount too small.
