TWO NEW CARS.
Two new cars are to be put on the Hull-
Street line within the next few days. They

' on this line. Under the new ordinances,
which were signed yesterday by the com
pany, it is required that the tracKs and
cars be at once put in first-class condition
to meet the approval of the Street Com

a.t the Richmond terminal of the line on
Fourteenth Street, which makes a greal
improvement.

matter has been pending noarly two
years, either in the Council or with the
officials of the company, and us settle
ment will Kbe heard with jen^ral ap

ROOF GARDEN AT MURPHY'S.
Plans Completed for its Construction by Mr.
West.
Mr. W. C. West, the well-known archi
tect, has completed plans for a .landsome
roof-garden to be built upon the- new
annex of Murphy's Hotel, it will be
built merely as a place of recreation for
the gxiests of the hotel, and so arranged
that it can be used as a winter as well
as a summer resort.
It will not be provided with a stage,
as was the Jefferson roof-garden, but
will be made as attractive as possible
with palms and plants and comfortable
lounging chairs. This change :n the plans
has necessitated the removal of the kitch
ens of the hotel, which it was proposed
to locate on the roof to the top story of
the building, adjacent to the roof -garden.
Plans have also been prepared for t^»
removal of the tumble-down oid builu
ings on Eighth Street between the alley
in rear of the annex and the hpijses that
front on Grace Street. A fine new ware
house, fronting on Igighth Street, will be
' built on this site, and will be occupied
by Sydnor & Hundley, the furniture deal
ers, whose store on Broad Street is also
to -be raised another story.
Bids for the new work have already
I be"en submitted, and the contract awarded
j to the builder of the hotel annex.

A PROHIBITION T
MEETING TO-DAY
Convention to be Held in Smithdeal
Half
. -
KEEZELL AGAINST HARMAN.
The Senator Will Probably Oppose the
Treasurer — Opposition to Major
Helms-Brief Political
Notes.
The State Convention of the Prohibition,
party will meet at Smithdeal Hall at 10
o'clock this morning.
The State Committee met last night and
selected the temporary officers. Rev.
L. A. Cutler, of L.ouisa, will be tempoia
ry chairman, and Rev. G. A. Carroll, of
this city, secretary. -A new State Com
mittee will be chosen and nominations
made for Governor, Lieutenant-Gover
nor and Attorney.-General.
Mr. O. C. Rucker, a prominent lawyer
of Bedford City, will be named for Gov
ernor by acclamation.
Several prominent gentlemen are men
tioned for both the other places. Rev.
H. E. Johnson, D. D.. of Norfolk, will be
permanent chairman and Mr. J. O. Al
wood, of this city, will, in all prob
ability, be chairman of the new State
Committee.
A number of the leaders arrived in the
city last night arid those on' the ground
hope for a successful meeting.
State Senator George B. Keezell, of
Rockingham, will, it Is pretty generally
understood, be a candidate for State
Treasurer before the coming Legislature.
While the Senator will neither deny nor
confirm the rumor, which has V>een afloat
on the subject in poetical circles for some
time, those who are well up on public
matters believe that he will enter the
race. He and Treasurer Harman are
both prominent in the affairs of tne party
in Virginia and have long been in public
life. They both hail from practically the
same section of the State, and .ire strong
in their neighbor counties.
Mr. Harman has been treasurer -for
many years and has a good record be
hind him.
Senator Keezell is a member of the Con
stitutional Convention, a leading ngure in
the Statfl Board of Fisheries and a prom
inent member of the State Senate. He
has served many times iri both branches
of the General Assembly and has had
much to do with shaping the most import
ant legislation of the State. He is an
advocate of the election of all otate of
ficers by the people and would like to see
such a provision engrafted upon the new
Constitution.
Another State officer who will be op
posed for re-election is Major George M.
Helms, superintendent of the penitentiary.
Colonel S. M. Xewhouse. the popular
member of the House of Delegates from
Culpeper; is in the field against him, as
is also Mr. Allen W. Finch, who was re
cently removed by Major Helms as su
perintendent of the State farm.
Colonel Xewhouse is widely known and
popular among the public men of the
State and is already organizing his forces.
This three-cornered race will attract a
great deal of attention, as all the enndi
(iates are strong men.
Major Helms is looking- after ais fences
and keeps in close touch with the polit
icians around the- hotel lobbies at night.

stand for the nomination for that office
before the Charlottesville Convention. One.
close to Mr. Davis said last night, how
ever that the young- leader much preferred
the nomination for Congress in his dis
trict next fall.
The Attorney-Generalship fight was
rather quiet last night and all the candi
dates were "possessing their souls in
neace.'J
Senator Jeffries gave out an interview
at his home on Tuesday, in which he
said he was absolutely confident of vic
tory on the first ballot.
The other aspirants and their friends
do not concede this and are all in tine
spirits. It is evident that the chief in
terest at Norfolk will centre in this fight
and that It will be one well worth wit
nessing.
The forces of all the candidates will be
ably led, and the best talent in the State
Will be brought into play in favor of one
or another of the candidates.
It is highly probable that the Damo
cratic committees of this city and Hen
rico county will decide to hold their pri
maries for the nomination of members of
the House and Senate 011 the same day.
This will facilitate matters greatly, as the
result of the senatorship right could be
known without delay.
Members of the County and City com
mittees will be chosen' at the same time
and in the same manner.
Following- are the candidates for the
Senate, so far as announced:
From the city— Messrs. George Wayne
Anderson, S. S. P. Patteson, Sol. U.
Bloomberg. Frro* the county— Messrs.
L-. O. Wendenberg and Julian Bryant.
Messrs. A. yon N. Rosenegk nnd Allen
G. Collins have been mentioned as proba
ble candidates from the county, but it
is not thought either of them will run.
There are a great many candidates for
the House here and in the county. For
the city. Messrs. Keliey and Folkes will
stand again. Messrs. Ordway Puller,
James Lewis Anderson, A. C. Harman
and Hunsfibn Gary will most likely run,
while many others are mentioned.
Out in the county there are three can
didates for the House— Delegates Felix M. '
Jones and Messrs. Thomas XV*. Gardner
and J. T. Lewis.
The friends of Mr. Julian Bryant, who
several days apo announced ))is candi
dacy for the Semite from the fiistrict of
Richmond city and Henrico county, are
very active in his interest, and iiis stock
is apparently going up very fast.
Mr. Bryant lives in the county, but en
joys a lucrative law practice in this city.
He was twice a member of the House of
Delegates from this city and declined to
stand for re-election in 1597.
Mr. Bryant is a young man of consid
erable ability, and his long legislative ex
perience is proving very helpful to him
in his canvass for the upper branch of
the General Assembly.
The race for the two seats Co which
Messrs. Sands and Munford have declined
re-election will be a warm one.
Tnere is a lively fight on for the Demo
cratic nominatioja in the Thirty-ninth
Senatorial District.
Mr. James N. Stubbs has entered the
race. Senator Blakev is a candidate for
renomination. Mr. J. Boyd Sears is an
aspirant. Mr. Herbert I. Lewis, of West
Point, was at the capitol yes.erday. and
says it is one of the warmest fights he has
ever witnesses
Mr.'j. C. Jones, a prominent citizen
and one-armed Confederate soldier, of
Appomattox, has announced himself a
candidate for floater delegate in the next
House from Appomattox and Campbell, to
Succeed Delegate Horsley, who, being
Congressman Flood's secretary, will not
stand again.
Mr. George P^ Holman. of Fluvanna, 13
being urged by his friends to run for the
State Senate, to succeed Mr. Flood, next

stituted will contain- within itself the ele
ments ibsst adapted for the formulation
of a plan referred to- in said memorandum,
in connection .with 'Mr. W. XL Vanderbilt.

have its representative, who will be

difficulty in reaching a conclusion that will
be fair and just to all concerned and tend
to the establishment of permanent harmo
ny among the different lines. To thia end
I. shall tie glad to co-operate in such man
ner as will seem desirable.
