CONDUIT FRANCHISE
Virginia Electric Company's Peti?

Tailing Acllun.
A nicotine of the special committee
to consider the application of the Vir?
ginia Electric Company to run its elec?
tric light wires in conduits under
ground was held last night. There were
present Colonel Harry Hodges, chair?
man; Captain Tazewcll Taylor, Messrs.
C. H. Consolvo, H. V. Vail, W. P.
Oberndorfer, members of the Councils;
City Attorney Walter H. Taylor, City
Engineer W. T. Brooke, Messrs. Thorn
and Tunstall, counsel Tor the Virginia
Electric Compnny; Mr. Peter Wright,
superintendent of the company, und
Judge D. Tucker Brooke.
This petition of the Virginia Electric
Company was sent to the Councils two
or three months ago, accompanied by
an ordinance which the company re?
quested bo passed. The ordinance gives
the company the right to use the under?
ground condull system for an unlimited
time, and at last night's meeting ob?
jection was raised to this clause. Mr.
Thorn, speaking for the electric com?
pany, urgently requested that, this
clause go through without amendment.
Ho did not believe tin exacting policy
would pay the city.
Captain Tazewcll Taylor insisted that
some limit should be placed upon the
franchise, not unnecessarily to be taken
advantage of, but to protect the city.
He did not believe In giving perpetual
franchises. The ordinance granting the
telephone company the privilege of lay?
ing conduits has like restrictions; that
?is, Council Is given express authority
to repeal the franchise tit any time it
may think necessary.
Argument of the question on both
sides was heard, and the committee
held nn executive session. Tt was first
decided to pass the matter over until
after the meeting of the Common Coun?
cil, but Mr. Thorn math' a strong appeal
for early action, and the commiittcc was
edited together in executive session
neu in and?'adjourned without taking
action to next Thursday night.
The ordinance was generally favored
with Hie exception of the '.'lause giving
unlimited franchise.

R. L. SEAY IN SEARCH OF ROOM?
MATE.
Tho following, which may prove in?
teresting to some of the readers of tho
Virglnlan-Pllot, Is taken from the New?
port News Press of yesterday:
"Yesterdny there came to the station
house looking for the Chief of Police a
gentleman by the name of R. L. Seay,
of Huntcrsville, a suburb of Norfolk.
Mi\ Seay wns looking for his erstwhile
room-mate, an individual called by the
name of Frank Clifford, by occupation
a boat cook. The two young men had
roomed together for some time in amity,
and all would still be going well had
not Mr. Seay Tuesday missed $63 from
his trunk. His suspclon at once fell
upon his room-mate, and this suspicion
was naturally strengthened when Clif?
ford did not appear at his lodging house
Hint night. ,
"Mr. Seay declares that he is not nat?
urally superstitious, nor does he be?
lieve in dreams and prognostications:
nevertheless, partly from curiosity and
partly out of un abundance of caution,
ho consulted a clairvoyant who hap?
pened to be doing business in his berg.
"Strangely enough, and much to Mr
Scay's surprise, this woman described
the theft to him, drew a word photo?
graph of Clifford, even down to a small
scar on his face, and then informed her
client that the man he wanted would
come to Newport News. Mr. Seay went
at once to the Norfolk police authori?
ties, but they gave him cold comfort,
anil, according to Mr. Seay, refused to
render him any assistance. Thereupon,
putting several amateur photographs of
his room-mate in his pocket, he came
on over to Old Point, where he found a
pilot to whom Clifford had talked. From
Old Point Mr. Seay traced Iiis man to
Newport. News und then culled on Chief
Ha r wood, who readily rendered him all
tho asslstanco in his power.
"Tho police were put on the trail of
the missing man and they hoard of him
at several points, but failed to find him.
At the ship-yard gate it was stated that
Clifford had boon there, and in tho
course of a conversation, had an?
nounced that he was going to leave the
city on a freight train during the night.
This Is what he probably did, for had
he remained in the city ho would cer?
tainly have been caught.'!

"HAMPTON ROADS" LIBEL SUIT.
The libel case of A. N. 'Marshall,
owner of the tug Snllle vs. the Old Do?

the steamer Hampton Roads, occcuplod
nearly all day yesterday before judge

Captain Marshall claims that Hie Sal?
ine was sunk by suction of quick water
made by the Hampton Road's pro?
peller while passing it in the. narrow
channel of Hampton Creek last Oc?
tober. He asks for $2,000 damages.
The ease hinges largely upon the ques?
tion as to which vessel was llrst In the
creek, each claiming the precedence.
The libellant Is represented by Attor?
neys W. B. Barton nnd Charles Sharp,
nnd the defendants by Hughes & Little.
Expert testimony of a number of mas?
ters of ybasels was introduced to show
that the Hampton Roads could have
caused the sinking of the Sallie, as
claimed. The defendants also intro?
duced evidence of tills kind In rebuttal.
