of rhe committee said that if they
were convinced after analyZing that

vance over the old wage scale. they
would probably accept IT, and recon-
mend 10 The strikers that they re-
turn 70 work. There were about 3

COUNTY BILLS PASSED.

Advices from Richmond are to the
effect that the bill for the enlargement
OF powers for the Board OF Supervisors
Of Alexandria county has passed both
Houses and has been sent to the GoV-
ernor for his endorsement or veto;
there is no doubt that the bill will
become law in a few days. The
divorce bill, providing that in non
resident divorce cases the clerk OF the
court shall be required to send by
registercdtmal to the last known place
of residence OF the defendants notice
OF the institution OF the suit, has also
passed both the Senate and the House.
The bill provi:iing for police justice
for the county will probably pass both
Houses this week as it has been !av
orably passed upon by the committee
to which it was referred. All OF
thescbills are Of vital interest and
the news that they have been
successful IL passage will no doubt be
greeted by all Alexandria county cltl-

duct. They virtually plead guilty to

ments, and welr fined $40 each.
Three young women, arrested on
suspicion OF improper conduct, were
aso made to face the court. They were
dismissed with an admonilion. This
trio room in the Braddock House an d
their conduct has often attracted the at
tentiou OF the police. The proprietor
OF the resort was present and he heart
lily agreed With ,Tusti;e Cation that the
time had come TO cleon the house OF
undesirables, and that he would vie
with the authorities in bringing about
different conditions.
Two young men had been arrested
for disorderlY conduct and fighting IN q
house Ln south Patrick street. One
orfeited his collateral by failing to ap'
pear. The other upon being placed III
the dock gave confused statement
concerning the origin OF the trouble,
bnt his statement was sufficient to lead
to the suspicion that neither he nor his
companion had any legitimate business
in the house which is presided owe. by
Il Young woman who has on occasions
figured in the Police Court. He was
fined SIS and the police will exercise
surveillance on the house in future.
