At the Alexandra County courthouse
yesterday the Washington. Arlington. and
Falls Church Railway, on which the dis
astrous Clarendon wreck occurred, made
a third mortgage on their property to the
amount Of $1,000.
This action on the part Of the com
pany has caused great CONSERVATION on
the part Of the lawyers who have filed
damage suits against the company, and
they viii hold meeting at the court
house tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock to
investigate the condition of the rail-
way company. and to insure their clients
against any possible loss Of their chances
In law suits.
This third mortgage brings the total
amount Of the membranes on the rail-
road up to Sil1.O0O, the first mortgage hay
ing been 100000. and the second $50. 900.
both Of which were taken out some years
ago. This latest mortgage is in the shape
Of a note due on demand, and is in the
names OF Mrs. Lydia Hinchman. wife Of
the president of the road. and the West
ern Land Association. in which a younger
son Of W. 3. Hinchman is said to be in
terested.
Mas Make Claims Worthless.
The fact that on demand the trust and
equity have to be executed at once, has
alarmed the Virginia lawyers who have
suits against the company. as they seem
to see a possibility that the property may
be foreclosed for the mortgages. thus
making their suits void Other fears also
alarm them, and they have decided 70
force a sta, ament from the railroad COM
pany as 70 the rating Of its funds. as to
the number of outstanding bonds and IT'S
general reliability.
A prominent lawyer who has several
Of the suits in hand, said yesterday that
he was certain that some scheme to avoid
the pending damage suits was contem-
plated, and that he was willing TO 90 70
any extremes TO protect his clients. many
OF whom, he said. were in dire straits
owing TO an accumulation OF doctors bills
and incapacity TO do any work.
The meeting tomorrow will be called
by Attorney Moncure. and almost every
lawyer OF prominence IN Alexan sria Coun-
" VIII attend. A formal notification Will
be sent the officials of the railroad, who
will be invited to attend the meeting and

Jackson. Miss, Aug. 6.-Gov. Varda-
mans forces said to-day they would de-
mand a recount of the Senatorial primary
votes, because Of frauds and discrepancies
that are claimed to have developed in
several precincts.
Congressman Williams forces still claim
a majority Of about LOCO. while Varda-

Sixty-three counties have now reported
to a secretary of state, giving Williams
a lead Of I.552
Should counties yet to report maintain
that lead for Williams, Gov Vardaman
viii probably decide contests would do no
good. but if final count shows only 500 as
claimed, the recount will be demanded.
