Tho name of Mr. McSherry, who waa
mentioned In Tuesday's Times in con?
nection with the police court proceed- I
Inga, was placed on tho dockot by mis?
take of one of tho otllcora. It seems
that this gentleman had complained to

Byrd being thero. She had applied for
& warrant to Police Justice Williams for
tbe arrest of tho (irons brothers who re?
fused to issue it. She then went to Jus?
tice Camper and obtained a warrant,but
not for McSherry, but ho was summoned
as a witness in tho case against Mrs.
Byrd,who was arrested on the charge of
running a disorderly house. Mr. Me.
Sherry's name was uaed on account of
it being placed on the docket of tho po?
lice court, alonj; with the others who
were charged with creating a disturb?
ance, by Mrs. Byrd. Be is exonerated
from all blame, and It is believed that
the Gross brothers will also be exoner?
ated If the case ever comes to a trial.
Plana for the Office linlldtng.
The revised plans for tho new general
office building of the Norfolk and
Western railroad arrived yesterday
morning from Philadelphia, and bids
will be received for the construction of
the building at once, and although the
time for tbe closing of bids has not been
arranged, It is hoped that the matter
will be In such a Bhape that the contract
will be let within ten days or two weeks.
The revised plans do not materially
change the character of tbe building or
the material out of which It is to bo
constructed. The plans called for a
building six stories high inolndlng the
basement. The frontage on Jefferson
street remains unobanged, but the
Shenandoah avenue front will be twelve
feet narrower than the original plans
called for. Tbe first or basement story
will be of sandstone and the balance
will be constructed of brick made from
clay on the Ohio division of the road.
It is hoped that work will be commenced
on the new building in a very short
time. _

l.ooo.ooo Tons.
The Bluefleld Telesrraph of yesterday
lays: The Flat Top field continues at
the head of the list of bituminous coal
producers, the output for the week end?
ing May 30 having been 74,350 tons, as
against 69,203 tons for the preceding
week, showing a gain of over 5,000 tons
in a single week, and an increase of
nearly 205,000 tons in the shipments for
the year, as compared with those of the
aamo period last year.
At a proportionate rate of Increase
the total shipments of coal from the
Flat Top field will oloaely approximate
the enormous total of 4,000,000 tons for
the present year, to say nothing of the
Immense quantities consumed in the
manufacture of coke, and which does
not figure at all in the reports of the
coal shipments
The New River field still retains sec?
ond place, with total shipments for the
year of 1,310,260 tons, and an increase
over the corresponding period of last
year of 141,191 tons, making a total coal
ahlpment for the five months of 1896
from the two West Virginia fields of
2.92G.639 tons?an increase of 340,15".
tons over tho corresponding period of
1895.
On the other hand, the three Pennsyl?
vania fields reported show a net decrease
of 21,684 tons for the week, but ono of
the three districts?Beech Creek, show?
ing an increase, which is more than off?
set by the decrease In the Clearfield and
Broad Top dlBtrlntB.
