ROGERS; NOW IN PROCESS OF PUBLICATION, FREIGHT CAR GOES THROUGH STORES Loaded With Cement, it Fell from the C. & 0. Via? duct. A box car loaded with barrels of c?r m?nt. which was being drawn from Ful? ton over the spur viaduct of the Chesa? peake and Ohio Railway, Just south of the Main Street passenger station, yes terday. Jumped tho rails, and after bump? ing along over tho sills for some dis? tance, plunged off the high steel viaduct and crashed Into the rrnvr ot the two store? houses on the south side of tho street, just east of the viaduct, crushing them In and precipitating one end ol the car into tho b?-d of Shockoe Creek. Tbo acci? dent occurred about 12:30 yesterday after? noon. The two houses partially crushed irt^ by the plunging car are No. 1643, oc? cupied by the Union Clothing Company, and No. 1545, by Joseph Johnson, shoes and trunke. etc., and both owned by J. S. Moore. The roar of these houses, which Is com? posed of corrugated metal, was patrlally crushed by the Impact ot tho car. one ond of which seems to liave fallen on tho higher building. No. 1643, and tho lower upon the extremo rear of the next ono, which Is a story lower, The car then plunged downward, end foremost, and when It came to a atop one end was rest? ing against tho nearest building and thn other in tho creek bed, while tho bottom of the car was turned upward. Fortu? nately, there was no ono aboard the car, and *o no one woe injured, there being nobody in the portion of the Awo build? ings crurhed. The weight of tho barreled cement caused It to burst through the car, and It fell Into the creek. Two other cars w??-e derailed, but did not leave tho viaduct. Tho forward truck of the car that went over the viaduct rested In the smashed portion of tho John? son store. The other truck fell some dis? tance from whero the car came to a rest, smashing a small foot-bridge. Tho car Is badly damaged, but can bo repaired. The trucks had been hoisted back to tho track yesterday at dU3k, and workmen were engaged ln preparations to hoist the maimed car. Much of the cement had been rescued from the creek and from the car, whero It liad been scattered In picturesque confusion. Oc? cupants of the two buildings received a good scare, but none had even "a narrow escape," for they were not n?iar to the crushed portion of the two structures. The damage to the two stores is slight, only tho edge of them being cut through, I ffiaiiroad Tfows. | The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway, through General Freight Agent E. D.

AGAINST LAWLESSNESS Resolutions Are Adopted by the Strik? ing Street-Car Men. Division 152 of Street Railway Employes has adopted resolutions addressed to the public, in which It denies and refutes tho intimation that It has tacitly consented to the disorder and lawlessness Incident to tha early days of tha strike, and in strong terms condemns such acts of vio? lence and lawnessneas. It also condemns what It terms the ef? forts of the company "to inveigle our weaker brethren and friends Into com? mitting acts of lawlessness," Tho resolutions further express the op? inion that those merchants and business men who nre aiding the Passenger and Power Company with their patronage and example are Indirectly Injuring their own The resolutions express the belief that the action of the company ln refusing the strikers' demand ls not only a fight ngalnst that union by concentrated wealth but a general onslaught on ull unions to reduce the laborers to a lower standard of living. COMMITTEE TO DEAL WITH VEXED QUESTIONS The City Democratic Committee will meet at Murphy's Hotel to-night, and will take up the question of completing the Plans under which the Legislative primary Is to he held on September 22d. The two main problems nt issue, when the body adjourned the other night, were what registration books should be used, and whether or not tickets should bo provided. The former Is settled clearly by the Constitution, and will cause no further controversy. Section 35 of Article IL of the Consti? tution provides that "no person ehall vote at any legalized primary election fin? tile nomination of any candidate for of? fice unless he la at tho time registered and qualified to vote In the next succeed "tWs makes It clear that only the new books can be used legally so this will guide the conimlitee on this point. As to the other question, a big fight Is expected, Tho advocates ot the ticket system will contend for their position and those opposed will say that to use tickets will bo In violation of the provisions of the State plan, and will tend to com? plicalo and confuse matters with refer? ence to the eloctlon The Plans Committee will report to? night for ihe second tim?, and a long and stormy session of tho main body ii anticipated. Y. M. C. A. WORK Plan -to Place a Secretary in Every County of tie Stai?. While the work of the Yonne Men's Christian Association throughout the world has grown to Vost ? ? .??tions, it Is a fact generally recognized among the leaders that only a beginning has been made. Were there a strong association In every citv In the land, the innumer? able small towns and tho com,try places would still offer a larger, and, in many respects, a more inviting field. Of the lS.ono.OOO voting men In this country, about 7,000,000, or more tnan half, live In the country and In towns too .?-mail for. a general secretary. The pian Is non? to place ? ?-ountv sec? retary In every county, a man who ii- to devote his entire time to woik for young men. This plan is succeeding in Kelt* tueky. Illinois. New York. MassaenUaett? and other States, nnd we are ?lad to say it originated In the South. Inthis line of work Kentucky leads all the States, having been the first to employ on its Stato forco a specialist to supervise the county work. .,, , After mature deliberation, the Virginia State Commltteo has secured th" ?ervlces of such a specialist, and In a day or so, the organization of the county work will begin.

The sixteenth annual meeting ot tho Grand Camp Confederato Veterans, De? partment of Virginia, will be held at Newport News, Va., commencing on Wed? nesday, the 28th day of October, 1903, at 12 o'clock M.

Our host of Mngru der Camp, C. V.. No 36. of Newport News, Va., are arranging to make the occasion one of much Interest and pleasure, and will in duo time send a circular to each camp, giving full Information as to ho? tel and railroad rates.

Every camp that has not compiled ?with article .VIII, seo_lon 1. of tho "by flaws, rules, and regulations./' which read 'as follow: "Each of the camps composing the G'rand Camp shall be assessed and pay ten cents per member annually, to de? fray the expenses ot tho Grand Camp, and no camp shall bo entitled to repre? sentation at any meeting of the Grand Camp, unless Its assessment has been paid to the quartermaster-general,, or other __roper officer, prior to or at said meet? ing."
