June 3.?Now that the first step toward redistricting the city In accordance with the new Con? stitution has been taken, the politicians of the city are preparing to malto overy effort to have Ihe work rushed through to a finish ns soon as possible. Whon the senatorial and legislative primary is held In August the new City Democratic Committee will be named) and tho poli? ticians are. anxious to have the city' re dlstrlcted before that time in order that the committeemen may be elected from the1 new wards. Tho City Council hns authorized the president to appoint a committee of seven, one Councilman from each ward, to look Into the matter and report on a plan for the redistricting. This com? mltteo hns not yet been appointed, but the president will net within the next day or two nnd the committee will prob? ably hold a meeting Immediately, Th? report will certainly be mndo at the next regular meeting of the city fathers, and It Is possible thnt a special session will be called to hear the report. It Is generally believed that the nur ber of wards will not be changed, but that new ward lines will be mnde In or? der to make the seven wards equal, This will change tho situation ln tho city ma? terially, ns what Is now Ihn First Ward will extend far up Into the Fourth, nnd other wards will he affected. It wns thought yesterday that the people of this city would not bo troubled nny longer by the strike of the marin?! engineers, hut. to-dny tbo situation ls just what it waa Monday. Yesterday the. Norfolk and Atlantic Terminal Com? pany came to an agreement with the strikers, nnd the Sewell's Point and Ivy Avenue ferry was put in operation again, opening up the route between here nnd Norfolk.

NORFOLK, VA., Juno '.-The accident to the Tanner's Creek drawbridge Is more serious than was anticipated at first. The bridge was pushed asido by the collision of Ihe Standard Oil Com? pany's barge nt fi o'clock on Monday, nnd hns not been In use since. The snmo draw that serves the Bay Shoro road serves the Tanner's Creek shell toll road also, nnd that road is impassable, too. '/'he truckers of that seclion. have to make ,a roundabout tour in and out of town. The bridge irons cannot bo replaced for several weeks, and if a temporary bridge cannot bo supplied the tie-up may last fnr three weeks, or until new Irons can bo procured from the foundry at Roan? oke, where .the bridge wa? made. There wero thirty men employed-on the Hay Shore, who will be out of employ? ment till the bridge Is repaired.

SANITY, Elt Wlnslow. a repulsive and Intensely black man, was tried to-day for criminal assault. The Jury of tho Corporation Court was out but a few minutes, when It returned with a verdict of not guilty, because of Insanity. The detectives and the Jailers who were called to keep the prisoner quiet during the trial, declared that the prisoner was shamming; that ho was quiet In Jail, and that he became quiet again when returned to his cell. The charge Is that he made a criminal nssault on nn Idiotic negro girl, Mamie Brooks, of fourteen years of age, last week ln tho Allyntown suburb. He will be sent to Petersburg, no doubt, and If be continues to show signs of insanity ho may be kept there for life. Tho pollco ofllcers fear that he will bo out and back here In a short time.

ENGINEERS STILL OUT. There Is little change In situation ln regard to tbe marine engineers' walk-out. While a few owners of single steamers have agreed to meet the demands of the engineers, yet several lines still remain tied up, and the managers say they will not accede to the scale of wages. There has been some Inconvenience cnused by the walk-nut, hut this port hns suffered little, as enough tugs have been kept In commission to meet tho demands of tbo nvners. The New York. Pennsylvania snd Norfolk Railroad runs n. regular freight schedule between this city and Cape Charles, and the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Is also maintaining a schedule between this city and Newport News.
