RadfOrd Brick Company.

The works of the RadfOrd Brick Gem
pany, located at Tiptop, have for some
years been one of the most successful and
industrial enterprises in Tazewell county.
Under the management Of MIR. George
Shafer, superintendent, the brick manu-
factured by this company have won
reputation for their superior strength and
durability. He knows all about brick
making, as it has been with him life
business.
For some years the output Of the yards
at Tlptop have not been equal to the de-
mand, and this year the orders already
given will be about sufficient 70 consume
the output.
At present the works are idle, as they
always are in the severe winter weather,
for the purpose Of repairs and the addi-
tion Of new machinery. A new and i'm
proved crusher is being put in and other
new machinery will be added The kilns
will also be changed to what is called the
the oyerdraught style. This is done with
u view to making nothing but hard brick,
as the demand for hard brick is much
greater than for the soft or salmon brick.
Mr. Shsffer informs us that he now has
orders for hard brick sufficient to keep the
yards busy throughout the present year.

Two Young Men, Lose Their Lives al
RichmOnd-0 others May be Under

CASE OF SENATOR BURTON.
Gets a New Trial Under Decision OF
United States Supreme Court.

Washington, January 16.-The case of
Senator J. K. Burton was decided by the
Supreme Court of the United States today
dismissing the writ of certiorari TO the
Circuit Court of Appeals of the Eighth
Circuit, and reversing the verdict Of the
Diftrict Court for the Eastern district OF
Missouri on the ground that the payments
TO Burton were made in Washington. The
District Court was therefore reversed and
the case remanded for a new trial.
Justice Packham rendered the decision
Five Justices, Harlan, Brown, McKena,
Holmes and Day were of opinion that
there was sufficient evidence of guilt to be
submitted to the jury, or were not pre-
pared to say there was not, and four, Full
Ter, Brewel, White and Peckam, were Of
opinion that there was no evidence what
ever upon which to found verdict of con-
ylction.
Az to the sixth, seventh, eighth and
ninth counts of the Indictment the court
finds that the ayerments where the differ
ent checks were received and paid were
not true. The checks were received IN
Washington, endorsed by Senator Burton
and deposited in the Riggs National Bank
in this city. This constituted payment
in Washington and not in st. Louis, where
the checks were afterward paid by the
Commonwealth Trust Company, and the
decision holds that the court had no juris-
diction as to these counts and that there
was a total lack of evidence to sustain
them. 1t is held that the lower court
should have directed a verdict of not
guilty as to these counts.
Justice Harlan dssented, holding that
the payment was made in St. Louis.
The trial under the indictment charging |
Senator Burton with receiving cash pay
ment at st. Louis will proceed immediate.

tice has not yet considered the question
of the trial place in the indictment alleg-
ing payments in this city 1t Is possible

Discussed Treaties.

Washington, Jan. l6.-President Roose-
welt bad conference last night with Sena-
tors McCreary Of Kentucky, Daniel of Vir-
ginia, and Foster of Louisiana, regarding
the action of the senate on the pending
treaties. Some opposition to the conven-
tions had developed among senators of the
south who have thought that, if ratified,
they might be made the basis of action
against some of the states in an attempt
to collect claims held in foreign countries
against individual states. President
Roosevelt informed the senators that moth
ing of the kind could be done under the
treaties proposed. The matter was pretty
thoroughly discussed, but the senators did
not disclose what tLeir attitude might be
in the future.

Many RATS Of fipe logs that have been
waiting tide in the Clinch river, will be
started down the river at once. These
logs, which will yield millions of feet of
lumber, were constructed into RATS many
months ago, but it was not until this week
that the long hoped for tide came. The
river has been too high to release the RATS,
but they will be started at the moment
the stage of water is regarded as the most
favorable. These logs will be carried by
the rivers to Chattanooga, where they
will be placed on the market.
