Warren's corps and Birney's division
under Hancock in person were sent
hastily to the field. Ewell had cap
tured a train Of wagons. These were
retaken, and the Federal attack forced
with such power that the C~onfederates
retreated after dark and lost several
hundred prisoners in the march back
to their old lines. Ewell lost 900 men
in all.
Forward, Ever Forward.
The Federal lines were broken up at
S~pottsyivania on the Goth and 21st, and
the troops moved southwark or by the
left flank ON separate routes toward
the crossing of thes roads leading to
Richmond over the North Anna river,

at the Chesterfield bridge, on the tele-
graph road, neal the Fredericksburg
railroad. Above that road, at a dis
lance of a mile apart, were roads rum
aing to Ok Ford (also called Ander-
son's). Quarles Mills and Jericho Ford.
Grants Road Again Blocked.
Hancock's corps. leading the advance
from ~Spottsylyania, reached the river
on the ODD and took position across the
railroad and telegraph road and found
the enemy posted behind works on the
southern bank. Burnside moved up
to Ok Ford and found the enemy in
force there with batteries command
ing the crossing. The water was high
also. One division Of Burnside, under
General Thomas L. Crittenden, moved
up to Quarles Ford and, wading across
an old stone mill dam, secured a posi-
lion with both tanks in the river and
intrenched. Toward night the enemy
discovered the movement and attacked
Crittenden but they were driven off.
At Jericho Ford, the next above,
Warren sent over one brigade, the
men wading water breast deep, and Sc
cured the high banks opposite and laid
q pontoon bridge. Crossing his whole
corps. Warren attempted to move out
and was met by a strong force, and
SO on the oath, when Sheridan return
ed from his Richmond raid to the
army, it was again blocked by the
enemy in a defensible position.
Lees anticipation seems to have
been that Grant would form a juno
ton with Sheridan near the Pamunkey
and attempt to force his way by the
shortest route to Richmond. Re-en-
forcements from Richmond and Peters
burg, also from the Shenandoah val
ley. were now ordered to Hanover
Junction, on the Pamunkey, and Lee,
leaving small forces in observation
along the North Anna, concentrated all
his forces there.
Hanover Junction is about twenty
five miles from Richmond and is the
point Of crossing of the Virginia Cen
trail and Fredericksburg railroads. The
Central road runs parallel with the
North Anna, at a distance of about a
mile south Of it, and alongside of 1t
runs a good wagon road, both roads
reaching to Gordonsville. 1t was down
these roads at right angles with the
river that Warren was moving. Lee

Cheap Paint

dozen really cheap ones.
That double word 'scheap' is the cause
of wasting more money than good paint
costs, two or three times over.
Cheap paint is good paint; there is no
other; no other is cheap.
The two words sound alike but their
meanings are opposite. HCheap" costs
double. Cheap is Devoe.

CITY MEETING.
oNry A SLIGHT RIPPLE ON THE
SURFACE OF THINGS.
o,,s n. BRIMMER MAKES A GENEROUS
Opposition FOR IMPROVEMENT
OF PINE sTREET--RoLLs OF
ACCOUNTS.

n.nere vas only q slight ripple on the
-,,r,ace of things at the regular meeting Of
,ho city government Monday evening
The full board was present, with Mayor
1Iarerthy presiding.
Alter the reading OF the records Of the
,.st regular and the subsequent special
,,sstings, Aid. Moor objected to the APP
.roval OF the records of the special meet
sro of August 10, first on the grounds that
,nIv two aldermen present and voting and
one other presiding did not constitute
,,orunn. and second on the grounds that
,be board had no right to remove the city
marshal.
Aid. Maddocks' motion to approve the
records was doubted by Aid. Moor. The
three democratic aldermen voted to APP
proye; the two republican aldermen went
on record as not approving.
Aid. Maddocks made an appeal for a
contribution OF $50 to the North Ellsworth
Farmers club for this years fair, which
8 was voted.
CIR. williamson, president OF the Ault-
Williamson Shoe Co., formerly the Russell
Shoe Co., appeared before the board to
ask for an abatement OF taxes on the shoe
factory building. Aid. Stuart moved to
grant the request. Aid. Maddocks pro-
tested against hasty action, and said he
was unfavorable to the idea OF taxing
home people and exempting newcomers,
declaring that he would not vote for ex-
emption now.
Aid. Moor and Stuart expressed them
selves as in favor OF encouraging new in
dustries. John II. Brimmer, as a citizen,
also spoke in favor OF exemption. James
A. McGown n, of the board Of assessors, was
called upon, and asked Mr.. Williamson
some questions as to the terms on which
the company had the building. II the
lease provided that the company should
pay the tax, he had no objection to the
tax being abated.
II was voted to reduce the assessment
to nominal tax for the present year.
MR.. BRrMMER's OFFER.
John H. Brimmer appeared before the
board in appeal for the improvement of
Pine street. An estimate OF the work he
would like to have done indicated cost
of about $1,000. He asked for the i'm
proyement OF the street and sidewalk from
High street to Hancock street, and closed
his proposition by offering to assume
three-quarters OF the expense. The
matter was referred to the committee on
streets.
ROLLS OF ACCOUNTS.
When the roll OF accounts was reached,
the three democratic members of the
board objected to the payment OF the
salary OF City Marshal Bresnahan after
August 10, the date on which they voted
his discharge. 1t will be remembered
that his salary for July was held up at the
last meeting of the board, so the bill on
this months roll was for two months.
Mayor Hagerthy and Aid. Moor ex-
pressed the opinion that it made no differ
ence; that Mr.. Bresnahan would get the
whole amount in the end anyway, but the
three democratic members prevailed, and
the bill was ordered paid up to and in
Guiding Aug. 10.
The roll OF accounts was then passed as
follows:

WARREN IN FIGHT
FOR FREE TOLLS
Wyoming Senator Refuses to Join
in Support of WiIson-PIeads
for Merchant Marine.

WASHINGTON. Feb. Ex-senator
Warren. of Wyoming, to-day refused
to follow the guidance of Senator
Burton, of Ohio, another Republican,
in supporting the plan of President
Wilson to repeal the free tolls pro-
vision covering American ships pass
ing through the Panama Canal. War
rens championship of free tolls indi-
Gated that Burton will have a hard
fight in his efforts to swing his Re-
publican colleagues over to the Ad-
Immigration help.
II see no reason why America
should not do something to aid its
own merchant marine, and for that
rea son ! am opposed to repeating the
provision for free tolls for American
coastwise shipping" said senator
Warren. While other nations have
favored their shipping. we have done
nothing and our merchant marine
has declined TO a negligible mark
So marked is the Republican di-
vision that the groups of Senators
who opposed free tolls in 1912 and
who now are supporting President
Wilson is not strong enough to in
sure him victory even with the sup
port of tho Democrats who have sid
ed with the President. The date of
the caucus has not been determined
upon. Senators practically have given
up hope OF putting tho question Off
until next session and lengthy debate
is predicted by practically every
member.
