Especial to The Tmes.Dispatch.l
PETERSBURG, VA, July lo.-Ihe last
schedule has been established again by
the Ferndale Park line, and all the cars
in the city are now running as they were
before the street car men went out. Two
more of tho strikers went to work TINS
morning. Herbert Wood and j. G. Malone.
There exists now ten vacancies, includ'
ing relief men and there are seven men
on the cars being trained. The company
is paying the men 10 cents per hour for
twelve hours work. or s1.56 per day.
The lodli strikers did not receive their
money Tuesday, but expected to receive
It to-day. No money had come for them,
however, up to o'clock this afternoon
A GREAT DAM.
The Virginia Passenger and Power
Company continues to buy land west OF
the city on both aides Of the river. In
order that no land other than their owl,
will BIO flooded when the proposed new
dam across the river is constructed. The
proposed dam will have height OF seven
ty.five feet, and will be one Of the great
est structures OF the kind In the South
There was some fear expressed IN ina
event such dam were to break, out
the probab ility Is that the city would be IN
little danger from such contingency II
a break were to occur the water would
certainly follow the natural course OF
the river, and for this reason could DO 1T
tie damage except possibly In the lower
part OF the city. The proposed dam how
ever, will be Of such dimensions that 1t
will be almost impossible to break it and
the company will take every precautlon
to insure Its safety
Tho new dam will be situated at a
point several miles west OF Ferndale
Park, and will cost, with other improve
ments, several hundred thousand dollars.
SOCIALIST LABOR CANDIDATE.
There is some talk of a socialist labor
candidate for the Legislature. There are
very few socialists in tho city. but their
number is constantly increasing. and
while there is no probability Of the cleo
ton of a. socialist at present. the indica-
tons are that the party. which Is well or
gan!zcd in the North and East. will
eventually attract the laborlng vote in
this section.
