A hitch has occurred in the award
ing of the contract for the three new
structures at the hospital for the in
sane, as the result of which building
operations there will be delayed for
considerably over a month. 1t will be
necessary to readvertise for bids, as
Governor Stuart has not approved OF
the proceedings and there will have
to be another awarding of the con-
tract.
The board of trustees held special
meeting at the hospital yesterday with
a bare quorum present consisting OF ii.

B. H. Detwiler. G. r. VanAlen and
w. f. Shay. The trustees heard the

norman, which went to Harrisburg
Tuesday to confer with Governor
Stuart relative to the hitch that had
occurred. Their report made it plain
that in view of the complications ex-
listing there is only one thing to be
done and that is to readvertise for
bids and have the whole thing over
again.

WILL RE-ADVERTISE FOR BIDS
FOR new WORK At HOSPITAL
Change of Plans After Bids Were Opened Has Led to
Some Confusion Formally of Awarding Contract
Will be Repeated-Governor Stuarts View

The confused state of affairs Was
caused by changing the plans after the
bids were opened, adding elevators and
plastering in the basement in each of
the buildings. While Lynch Bros. the
successful bidders, would have been
willing to have gone on with the
work under the changed plans Cover
nor Stuart could not see his way clear
to give the proceedings the stamp of
his approval. The specifications, which
were not made to correspond with the
changes in the plans, especially,to the
governor seemed defective. Taking all
the facts into consideration he decid-
ed that the proper course to pursue
would be to readvertise for proposals,
giving all a chance to bid for the
buildings as changed and modified by
the new plans and specifications.
Advertisements for bids will appear
in ten days time. The advertisement
will have to run for three weeks. Un-
der the most favorable circumstances,
therefore, five or six weeks will elapse
before it will be possible to begin op-
erations on the new buildings. OBJ
viously the amount of work done this
year will be small.

PRESIDENTS OUTING

ROANOKE, Va, Oct. %.
President Roosevelt rose with the
sun on this, the last day of his twen-
ty-four days outing. and when Roa-
noke was reached at O'Clock he had
been standing for three quarters of an
hour on the rear platform of his priv
ate car contemplating the varied col
ors presented by the foliage on the
hillsides, which was sufficiently beauti
full to call from the chief executive
many exclamstions of admiration.
A large crowd was waiting for him
at this point, and the president was
greeted with cheer as his train pull
ed into the station, but by some mis-
understanding the train failed to stop
at the station. Seeing the disappoint-
ment of the people, which was SO
plainly written ON their faces, the
president requested that the train be
backed so that he could make brief
talk. While this was being done a
gentleman drove by in buggy with
two little girls. One of them shouted {:
81 am going to school. .
"That's the thing" responded the
president. "'That is what my little
girl is doing"
A gentleman rushed up and gave his
name and the president extended his
hand. Il was a major in the Second
Virginia. $50? Glad to see you, :"
said the president; shake again.
When the station was reached sec
ond time there was renewal of tie
cheering and the president proceeded
with his talk, expressing his satisfac-
tion at again being in the Old Domin-
ion. He then told of his recent trip
and said he had nowhere observed
more evidence of prosperity than he
had found here in the Piedmont sec
tion of the country. He then advised
the people to hold for high ideals of
citizenship, and while he was still
speaking the train pulled out for
Washington.

has charge of the case For some time
past there have been robberies of
merchandise cars perpetrated in the
Reuovo yards. Officers Rose and Cald-

to run out the robberies, and the two
detectives had been on guard in the
wards here for several nights. Early
last evening they discovered man
leaving the vicinity of a merchandise
car, ana an inspection showed that the
car had been broken open. They took
up station near the car, and their
vigil was rewarded very shortly by
having two men return to the car.
They were surprised into capture lust
as they were about to enter the car,
and the officers then learned that their
prisoners were Rebuck, Peunsyl-
vania yard employe, and a man named
Keenan,. On Rebuck were found some
