" is part of Virginia or the District
of Columbia was again before Judge
NVallill in Richmond yesterday alter
noon. The Judge postponed his de-

ners, whose liberty is involved, John

decision today. -,
The poolroom at Jackson City will
not be open today, and any one VINO
crosses the river from Washington with
the intention of "playing the ponies
will be taken into custody by one OF
Crandall Mackey's deputies and charged
with yagrancy. Such is a statement
made by Mr. Mackey, Commonwealth s
attorney of the county, shortly after his
return from Richmond last evening.
Mr.. Mackey says Judge Wadd'll de-
clered that had he known that the &C
cused men were running an openly H.
legal resort he would never have even
considered granting the restraining writ.
The court declared he had been gwen
the impression that the place in que ton
was bona-fde telegraph company, and
cepsured the attorney for the defense Tor
deceiying him. Mr.. Msckey SAID;
"These men know perfectly well that TO
omen their doors again is to invite a
raid. arrest, and probable conviction,
abat thew are afraid told Judge Wad,
dill that should they open again L
would Immediately make raid, ana
he expressed his approval OF such a
course"

proceedings brought by Nelson and La
Fontaine and denied writ of error APP
piled for by the latter's counsel. The

Will wipe all tears away.

Jefferson Sewer Gives Trouble.

R. NJ. Gilbert has been at work
with a crew of helpers this week
repairing the damage done by the
Jefferson street sewer where it
empties into the Willamette river.
For some time this sewer has
caused considerable caving at its
mouth. it is supposed on account
of the sewer being blocked up at
some point near the river, caus-
ing the water to break out higher
up and force an outlet of its own.
Recently, however, the caving
has become greater until it threat
ened to swamp the G. & E. rail-
road siding and the trestle ap-
proach TO the dock. Mr.. Gilbe1t
was hired by the council to tenn
porarily repair the place, SO that
it would hold until summer when
the water in the river will be
lower, enabling complete inves-
tigation SO that permanent repairs
may be made. A pile driver has
been in operation and a sort of
trestle work has been built under
the dock and railroad track, that
is thought will suffice for the
present.
