Thirty locomotives have been or
dered from the Richmond branch OF
the American Locomotive Company
Twenty-Five will be built for the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railway and
will be of the Mallet type. The oth-
er five were ordered by the Saboard
Air Line, being designated as the
Mountain type. The Locomotive
Works are yet working on munltlon
orders, which they expect to complete
very shortly. No further orders for
ammunition will be taken, and work
on the locomotives will be commenc-
ed in a short time. The building OF
the engines will require the services
of large number Of skilled workmen,
which viii give work to many men.
Dealers in lumber, rough or dress
ed, will have to pay merchants hc-
ense in Virginia. That is the decision
of Christopher B. Garrett, OF the
state tax board, handed down yester-
day. Allen l.. Hairless, OF the local
board of review for Montgomery, ask
ed if man who bought dressed lum-
Der and sold the same in the same
state in which it was bought, and on
which he did not work whatever, was
required to pay taxes as merchant.
Mr.. Garnett holds that such lum-
Der is to be considered as goods,
wares and merchandise, and as such
is subject to the laws OF the state.
Mr.. Garnett quotes the law bearing
on the subject, there being an express
provision for taxing the product OF
mines and forests, dealing with the
subject of taxing the same, holding
that such product is to be considered
as goods, wares and merchandise.

THREE RUNS TO FIRE
Shortage of Fire Hose Causes Two Ex-
ira Runs Tuesday Night.

The restaurant and pool hall on East
Park street, owned and operated by
Dave Gibbs, colored, was destroyed
by fire early Tuesday evening. The
fire company responded to an alarm
sent in at TAO, and when they reach
ed the scene it was found, that, ow-
ing to the distance to the nearest fire
plug, the hose carried on the fire
wagon was not sufficient to reach the
building, and the wagon returned to
the fire house for more hose. The
second string of hose enabled them to
reach the burning building, but not
the building Immediately east Of it,
owned by Gibbs and occupied by Cliff
Lee. Another trip back to the fire
house was made and more hose was
brought.
| The restaurant and most of its con-
tents were destroyed, also a small
house east of it. Another house in
the rear of the restaurant, also own
ed by Gibbs, and occupied by Sweet
Taylor, was damaged by the fire.
The origin of the fire was unknown
Some insurance was carried, but not
the amount could not be learned.
