COURTHOUSE.

Justice Stafford. in Circuit Division
> of the District Supreme Court, is
making deep inroads into the accumu-
lated law docket of the court In less
than five months he has reached case
No. 500. and is farther advanced on his
call than has ever been known in that
court at the end of a court year in
June. By the summer recess, the JUS
tice expects that every case on his
trial calendar will have been given an
opportunity for trial. The calendar
this year is the largest ever known in
the courts history.
Justice Gould, in Circuit Division /, is
also well advanced on his trial work.
The reason that he has not reached as
high figure on the calendar as his as
sociate is because of the tunnel case,
which occupied the courts attention to
the exclusion of all other business for
four weeks. The outlook is good that
Justice Gould will also reach the last
case on the trial calendar before the
summer recess of the courts.

quiry has figured extensively in the
hearing of the case of the Old Domin-
lon railway against the excise board,
in which testimony has been in prog

it looks like 1t may be judicially de-
termined just what constitutes a
drunk" The company claims that the
presence of nearby saloons affects it's
business injuriously.
