in marked contrast to that of last week.
1t was no longer covered with ice and
stationary, but was surging and having
the wharves as of yore. The stiff south
east wind was causing white caps to
chase each other, while a decided sea
was in evidence. The tide was higher
than usual. About all the ice that could
be seen had been forced into the docks,
and it was in an advanced stage OF dis
Indignation. Sailing vessels were again
moving about the river, while all the
steamers were running as usual. Inc

whistle was again heard as the steamer
arrived and departed from this port.

Lumber Inspector VS.. Lumber
Dealers.

Police Justice Harry B. Cation had
before him for hearing yesterday, as
stated in the Gazette, certain lumber
merchants of this city, charged by the
CITY lumber inspector, Mr.. S. G. Swaine,
with selling lumber without first having
the same measured and inspected by
him. The warrant was issued simply
to test the law, as to whether the in
spection of lumber was compulsory, as
it has been claimed that since 1876
there has been noordinance ofthe city re-
quiring the compulsory inspection OF
lumber. 1t was shown that this lumber
when it came here had been inspected
and measured before shipment, and Mr..
T.. b. TAYLOR, attorney, who appeared
for the defense, stated that the charter
of the city only provided for an inspec-
ton of lumber and not for an inspector
and measurer of lumber, and also cited
cases to show that similar laws which
had compulsory feature requiring ln-
spectiou of articles imported into the
CITY had been declared unconstitutional
by the Supreme Court of the United
States; namely, the Virginia flour in
spection laws and the meat inspection
laws. and that the law did not COM
template compulsory inspection OF
lumber, but simply left the matter
optional with the lumber merchant. 1t
was further stated that at none of the
other cities in Virginia was the COM
pulsory inspection of lumber required,
or at any of the great lumber centers OF
the country, and that merchants from
elsewhere outside the State competed
for the sale of lumber here and shipped
and sold the same without any inspec-
ton. Justice Cation took the case I'M
der advisement and this morning rem
dered his decision as follows:
"Unless the lumber was imported In
to the city of Alexandria without any
evidence. such as a bill of lading or
tally sheet, showing that it had been in
spected elsewhere, either within or with
out this State, the inspection by the
local inspector is optional with the i'm
porters. As in these particular cases
the lumber arrived in Alexandria with
a bill Of landing showing inspection else
where, the cases were dismissed"
Justice Caton's decision virtually
knocks the Lumber Inspector out of q
lob, as the bulk of the lumber which
comes here is inspected at the point o.
shipment.
