Roosts and Nest Boxes.

One of the important arrangements in
the poulty house during the winter is the
proper location of both roosts and nest
boxes and the plan here described has
been found all that is desirable. Its adj
vantages are the placing of tho roosts low,
the chance for a dropping board under
the roosts n the location of the nest
boxes where 1t is quiet and dark, a condi-
ton quite pleasing to laying hens. Make
a frame Of the desired length and of a
width so that the nest box will be twelve
inches in the space occupied by the hen.

NAY PUNISH DIRECTORS.
n. & s. officials in Contempt of
Court, 1t Is ALLEGED.

On application OF counsel for Walter S Johnston.
n minority stockhoder OF the Norfolk and South
Railroad Company. Justice Mccall yesterday
signed order directing Albert II. Flint. Jonh
T Bacon. J. c. Chaplin and others. directors OF
the railroad company tho Chesapeake Transit
Company and tho Colonial Trust Company OF
Pttsburg. to show why they should be
punished for contempt In violating the order
issued several months ago. restraining them from
carrying out their plan for consolidating the
Southern road. known as the Little Nugget, .
with the Chesapeake Transit Company
Mr.. Johnston sued in June TO prevent the merger
the ground that the consolidation WAS against
the best interest OF the road. Justice Green
baum. who heard the motion. denounced the pro-
posed action as an ''unconscionabe and indefensl-
BILE scheme"
Johnston and Henry Sampson. another director
OF the road. now allege that Albert II. Flint and
others who control the transit company have dis
regarded the courts order and have gone ahead
TO carry out the original plan OF consolidation.
Mr.. Sampson says Mr.. Flint and the others are
using $4,000 worth OF Treasury bonds TO raise the
money for the deal They have torn up he de-
claros about hve miles of track between Cane
Henry and Virginia Beach. purchased some years
ago for the road. and changing that line
to trolley system to make II part OF tho Chesn-
peake line. The affidavit alleges that this act has
impaired the value of the Norfolk and Southern's +
earnings by cutting off Cape Henry as n terminus.
and the loss. he AYERS. will fall on the shareholders
who objected to the merger.
Mr. Sampson alleges further that though the
Little Nugget paid dividend of per cent for
years. July last. since Mr.. Flint and the
others got control for the first time the road de-
cared no dividend. He alleges that to the best
OF his belief the men in control using money
that should have been declared in dividends to
promote their own scheme. For the first time in
thirteen years. he declares no weekly report of
tho business and expenses OF the company has
been drawn up and laid before the directors though
he and Johnston demanded 1t.
