Change in &. & o. Schedule is
Asked

A numerously- signed petition is
in circulation requesting the Ches'
apeake and Ohio authorities to
make certain changes in the Sun
day schedules which will be for
the betterment Of the mail facili-
ties as well as for the convenience
and comfort of the trainmen.
The changes asked for are that
the trains be run into Lexington
on Saturday night, as at present,
and remain here until 4 o'clock
Sunday afternoon, returning again
at 6:30 p. M, and remain until
Monday morning at 1925.
Several facts are set forth in the
petition as reasons for asking the
change. With the present schedule
the train arriving Sunday morn
ing and leaving that afternoon,
and no other trains in, the mail
facilities are very poor, whereas
if the schedule could be changed
so that the train would come in at
6 $50 p. m. this would be obviated.
Another reason is that with the
present schedule the trainmen
who live in Lexington are kept
away from their families Satur
day and Sunday nights and practi-
cally all day Sunday. while the
change would give them that time
with their families.

amounts to about $500, There were

THE LEGISLATURE

The General Assembly of Vir-
ginia recOnvened yesterday at noon
to dispose Of the business Of the
long term folio wing the adoption
of a new State Constitutions, The
report Of the Revision Committee
on the work of revising the statutes
wlll Ike submitted, and will occupy
almost the entire time of the ses-
sion. Little or no new business
will come up, and that little will
be legislation designed to remedy
defects in existing statutes or to
supplement those framed during
the past eighteen months. 1t is
probable that the Mann liquor
law will be amended or that amend
ment will certainly be attempted.
Then, too, the pure elections law
must be perfected, and it is not
improbable that the general pri-
mary bill, offered by Messrs.
Barksdale and Keezell, will be
pressed for passage. Few appro-
priatiOns are expected to be made.
The general impression is that the
session will |ast almost up to-
Christmas.
This is the old General AS
sembly, and not the new one that
was elected last Tuesday. Ihe
new Assembly will get together on
Che second Wednesday in January,
1904, and its session will be limited
to sixty days, There will probably
be but this one session during the
ensuing two years. The new AS
sembly will elect successor to !
Senator Daniel, or rather re-elect
the Senator, for that is absolutely
assured.

May be Moved

Because the City Comet OF
Richmond has decided to raise the
tax on the company's property in
that city from the lump sum Of
between $1S, 900 AID $4,000 tC
between $50, 900 and $50, 900 there
is probability that the general
offices of the Chesapeake & Ohio
railroad company will be moved
from Richmond to Clifton Forge,
1t Is known that several high
officials Of the company have been
in conference at Clifton Forge,
including President George w.
Stevens.
The report that the conference
discussed removal Of the general
offices is said to be credited at
Clifton Forge.
1T Is argued that Clifton Forge
is more centrally located and is a
more logical location for the gem
eral Offices than Richmond,

DEMOCRATS IN FULL CON
troll

:. With practically complete re-
turns from the entire State it APP
pears that the Republicans will
have 10 or 20 votes on joint ballot
in the next General Assembly. The
Fusionists Land the Independents
!.
The Senate will stand Is Demo-
Gratis to one. Republican. The
House will probably stand about
81 Democrats to 16 Republicans, in
GLIDING 1 Fusionist and 1Indepen-
dent.
The General Assembly will be
divided on political lines about as
now, asthe Republicans andIndepen
dents have 10 votes in the present
Legislature. The latter figures do
rot materially change previous
forecasts. Everett was elected over
Goodwin rep in Nelson by 200
majority. Mays (Dem.) comes
back from Patrick and Latane
defeats his Independent opponent
in Botetourt. Spessard (Dem. J,
wins in Allegheny and Craig over
Garrett. (Rep.).
Smith, Carroll, Floyd, Grayson,
Lee, Montgomery, Pulaski and
Scott all send Republicans to the
House. j. C. Noel (Rep.) defeats
r. Tate Irvine for the Senate in
the Second district by over 500
maiOrity.
The Valley counties did well for
the Democrats, returning only two
Republicans, Robson of Rocking
ham and Hoffman of Shenandoah.
Senator Keezell's friends had some
fears that he would fall outside
the breastworks, but the sturdy
"oid sycamore Of Cub Run" had
been all over the ground before,
and he swept his Republican OPP
ponent down, pulling through one
of his nominees for the House with
him.
Fifty.nine of the House members
elected are new men. Fourteen
out of the nineteen Senators are
also new. There will be about
fifteen physicians on Joint ballot
