SUPREME COURT

Decisions Expected Thursday.
Several Cases Heard
Yesterday.

Having disposed of nearly the usual
number of cases heard at the autumn
term, the Supreme Court of Appeals, 1t
Is believed, will adjourn about the end
OF this week until early in January.
The court has entered no order In this
regard, but the supposition is based on
the fact that about the ordinary point
has been reached on the docket when
the court adjourns for tho holidays and
considers the CAGES which 1t has just
heard.
Before such action is taken, however.
some decisions are expected in cases
heard in Richmond early in November.
One of these, and that which Is await
Cd with the most interest, is the tax
case of the Richmond. fredericksburg
and Potomac Railway. Also an opin-
ion Is doubtless looked for with q great
deal of interest by W. Dallas Wright
and the two negroes convicted with
