OBJECTION RAISED
TO PROPOSED IMPROVEMENT OF
OHIO STREET BY PAVING
WITH BRICK.
Illinois Central Company and Nearly
All Property Owners AIege Var
ious irregularities In the
Proceedings.

, Yesterday was the day for fling OBJ
jections in the matter of the proposed
ohio street improvement and rather
contrary TO expectations, objections
were filed in behalf of nearly all The
Owners OF property on the westerly
side OF the street, and in hehalf of
the Illinois Central railroad company
also That objection was made in be.
half of the railroad company was par.
ticularly surprising, in view of the
statement made by the mayor at a
recent public meeting that the com
pany had yielded its consent. Ii ap.
pears that a misunderstanding exists
With respect TO the railroad company.
some time ago Messrs. Gilbert & Gil.
berr.~ attorneys for the company. re.
ceiyed word 10 make objections unless
fhey heard from the company to the
sntr The mayor had. correspond.
ence with the company and sent them
the ordinance and assessment and the
papers were sent back to Agent I.add
and 10 the attorneys for their consid.
GRAFTON. Mr. Ladd returned them 10
the company with favorable report
and since then no word has been re.
understood that the company consent. /
ed 70 the assessment. but since IT senti
no definite instructions to its attor. |
neys 10 this effect the latter obeyed /
their former directions and filed oh /
jeetions They have now written the |
company officials reporting what they |
have done and asking for further dl. /
reetions, which may reach them in
time for the hearing of the case. which
viii be next week. The objections in |
behalf Oft he company are based In
part upon contract made between the (
railroad company and the Cairo Trust
Proparty Company. dated June IL,
1851, by which the former was TO he
exempt from assessment for street i'm.
proyements, in consideration of max.
ing the leyee so feet wide on ton.
The mayor states that this agreement
was amended by one made with the
in 1872, but he did not re.
member last night just what the terms
)l The later agreement were. Objec.
lion is made also ON lesser grounds
relating to legal forms in making the
assessment.
Objections were also filed by Hon.
Reed Green, in behalf of nearly all
he property owners on the west side
including p. j. Thlstlewood. John r.
Rennie Winter Bros. the Susanka

Reed, John Clancy. Rosena Elias. con. ,

The objection made in behalf of
hese citizens is based upon various
grounds a score of technical points be.
ng raised, which seem to call in ques.
ion the validity of some of the pro-
or forms. Perhaps chief A.,
'mong them is that which declares ]
hat Judge Dewey is not competent 4

After thinking over the Republican

After thinking over the Republican
attempts at trust-busting, mostly
stage plays, can you point to one
trust that has reduced the price OF It's
products in consequence of Repuoh-
can activity Results are what tne
tariff taxed public are looking LOT,
Int the record shows that the cost oil
living is now As per cent higher than
it was before the present Republican
tariff law was enacted. The fact is
that not only must the laws against
trusts be enforced, but their monopoly
and SPECIAL advantages must be de-
stroyed. 1t is absurd that such a
trust as the Uuited States Steel corpo-
ration. that controls nine-tenths OF
all steel products Of the country ana
that has been proved to be selling It's
products cheaper abroad than here
should be continued in its monopoly
bv the tariff law. That gigantic cor
poration, by far greater than any OF
it's sister trusts, cannot take refuge as
an "infant industry" that needs pro-
tecting. 1t may not be policy to take
the chances of disturbing the steel
business by at once abolishing all it,
protection, but cutting off one half o.
its tariff protection will be one OF the
first propositions of Democratic
House of Representatives. That woulo
he a start at real trust-busting.

tbop nine months off and Accomac Is
NOT one of the counties reported IN
the list of those, which have taken
otens 70 have a creditable exhibit al

Board of Supervisors of this county
would take some action in the matter
at the meeting of that body on wed
nesday, but for some reason 1t ala
not receive their attention. Action
was postponed, perhaps, on accoun.
of the many other matters OF local
importance requiring the attention CT
of the Board until later meeting
We cannot believe that the great
county of Accomac is to have no part
in the Exposition and our Board OF
Supervisors have only to realize the
wonderful opportunity it gives us &c
advertise our advantages and resour'
ces TO act in the matter. The Super
yisors of Northampton contemplate
early action, according to the latest
advices, together with the othei
counties in Underwater. When the
Exposition opens Accomac must De
able to answer to the roll call WITH
the other counties in this section ano
have her exhibits there also. Win
the good results which have accrued
to us in the advertisement, we nave
received of our advantages ana re
sources through the Eastern Shor'
Produce Exchange, we cannot fall u
see that it pays to advertise, and tina
we cannot afford to ignore tn

and the rich products of our SOIL

Commissioner Koiner, according TO
his report to the Governor, is active
in his work to secure settlers for Vir-
ginia, but not of the class most need
ed by us at present. Instead OF send

plated by the Act of the Legislature,
appropriating $4,000 for thatpurpose'
he seems to have mistaken his mis-

of course, will be welcomed, but with

Counties That Have Provided FUNDS
For Jamestown.

Advices received at the jamestown
Exposition Company headquarters are
to the effect that the counties OF Cn1
State will respond literally TO tne can
for special levies with when 10 pro
vide creditable exhibits at the James
town exposition. The counties 10 JAKE
favorable action are Norfolk, Isle OF
Wight. Brunswick, HeIrico and Ches-
terfield. The supervisors of Nanse-
mond. Princess Anne, Northampton,
Elizabeth City, Warwick and YORK
are said to contemplate early action
From out of the southwest comes IN
formation that the mineral counties
will respond literally and numerously.
From the valley there will be num-
Der of appropriations.
The exposition company sent OUT
several DAYS ago 500 letters, each car
rying a copy of the Sale-Sydnor act,
which authorizes a special levy OF
81, 800 in each county for participation
in the exposition, the idea being 10
give the counties an opportunity 10
properly represent to the country
their advantages and resources. There
is hardly any doubt that the number
of counties to take this action viii be
encouraging, and the exposition OIL.
Gals expect to hear from NUMBER OF
them by August l.
The letter sent out to each of the
500 supervisors in the State was the
second to go from here in the same
connection. The first called atten-
ton to the act and the opportunities
for the counties to make exhibits
The second warned them that this
month was the only one in which the
levy for the purpose could be made,
and urged immediate action.

Lee Is Hung by Stealth.

Crisfeld, Md, July 26.-Wllliam
Lee, the colored youth, who was
sentenced to death in Baltimore three
weeks ago for sssaulting two women
in Somerset county, and who had
been threatened with lyncling, was
hanged by Sheriff Brown to-day on
Smiths island in the presence of his
deputies and few witnesses.
The hanging was orderly. The mob
that had threatened to burn Lee at
the stake was completely outwitted
by the sheriff. ,
Lees crime created unprecedented
excitement throughout the eastern
counties of Maryland, and for weeks
the popular fury was such that Gov
ernor Warfield deemed it prudent to
have him confined in the Baltimore
CITY Jail as a protection from mop
violence. AS a further precauuon,
though it was necessary to carry out
the sentence of the law in Somerset
county, the scene of the crime, the
exact place of execution was kept
secret, even from those who were to
accompany the sheriff and culprit al
deputies and witnesses.
10 carry out this purpose, Sheriff
Brown appeared in Baltimore yester
day afternoon late, placed his pris
oner aboard a steamer of the Mary
Hand oyster navy, and Immediately
sailed down the bay. He took will
him a gallows, which had been Dor
lrowed from Baltimore county, ant
also coffin, and was prepared tx
hang Lee on the deck of the vesse
after reaching the waters of Somerse
county should there be any signs of
mob on shore.
At an early hour this morning TIT
steamer appeared off Smiths Island
the prisoner was speedily takei
ashore, and the scaffold was quickly
put together by a carpenter who ha'
| been brought from Baltimore for tina
purpose. =.
The culprit, accompanied by hi
spiritual adviser, was led up tn
scaffold, the moose was adjusted an
the execution was quickly over. lie
confessed his crime.
