A dispatch from Richmond, Va, says: A
signal victory was won by the state cor
poration commission yesterday in a de-
cision rendered by the state supreme
court in the case of the Atlantic Coast
Line ct al. agt. the commonwealth of vir-
ginia. The opinion, which was prepared
by Judge Buchanan, sustains the corpo-
ration commission practically on all
points and will be far-reaching in it's ef-
feet on the future usefulness of the COM
mission.
Some time ago the commission promul-
gated a series of rules prescribing stor-
age, demurrage and car service charges
which may be collected by railroad and

The structure at Washington barracks
where Mrs. Surratt was hanged was torn
down the other day. By curious GOMEZ
dence the house of Judge Holt, under whom
the trial and execution of Mrs. Surratt took
place, was also torn down the same week.
The square numbered 690 on which the
new office building for the members of the
House OF Representatives is to be erected,
contained several very old historic houses.
In addition to the one in which Judge Holt
lived for many years, where. also, he died.
there were on this square nine other build
ings closely associated with some notable
names in tie history of the city or the
nation. The Holt house vas great, I'M
slightly barracks, in which Joseph Holt OF
Kentucky. Postmaster General under Buch-
anan. and judge advocate under Lincoln,
lived in solitude for many years.
The Holt will case.became famous through
the contest over the burned fragment of a
document claiming to be the will of Judge
Holt This contest held the property in
litigation for several years, during which
time the place became the headquarters OF
the Philosophical Society. There were rooms
in blue in which the adopts gathered and
the Eeophites in white communed with Ma
hatmas in the recesses of Thibet. d any
one doubts this he can still see the blue of
the walls on some of the debris on the cor
ner of G street and New Jersey avenue
southeast just below the Capitol.
Judge Holt had a beautiful garden. In
| the midst of which was a life-szed statue
of Flora One of the judges reighbors,
an old woman who knew more of "spooks
than of mythology, when asked what the
figure was. replied:
why it's the statue of Mrs. Surratt. the
woman that the judge hung for helping
