In the L.nv and Kquity Court a su.t against Massey for $1,000 alleged dam ages is still pending, it was brought ' ;o light yesterday. The plaintiff in the '? action is the Price Hardware Com-! pany. inc.. a Virginia concern, which' charges Massey with making "false arid fraudulent representations in April. 1!'13, and thereafter," which caused Ore company to enter into a contract to buy '.'On sewing machines from .Mas sey's company. The machines were purchased, ac cording to the complaint, at $-9 each. It is alleged that Massey agreed to furnish salesmen to dispose of ihe ma-, chines within sixty or ninety days af-| ter their purchase at a price that would i have represented a good proilt. The company avers that it understood the I machines were all to be sold long be- ' fore (he time arrived for it to pay for! them. The complaint set* forth that Mas-j sey's statement* "were all false and; known by you (Massey) to be false,' an 1 at the time of making such prom-| ises you never intended to fulfill them." i It is further charged by the company J that h" perpetrated similar frauds on i other merchants in the South.

The city of Richmond has no power ; i to compel the Richmond and Chesa- j | pcakc Bay Hallway Company to oper- j ate its line between this city and Ash- i i land, on which service was suspended ! last December. City Attorney Henry It. I | Pollard reported to the Common Couti- j cil l ist night. The franchise granted j to the company was of a "skeleton"; nature, .Mr. Pollard said, leaving: the ??itv with few rights in the premises. While the city could order the re moval of the overhead viaduct, trustees of the property would he expected to seek an injunction to restrain such ac- 1 Uon because it would destroy the value 1 ot much of the company's property, and the courts would probably grant such relief, he said. In event of danger 1?? ; the public through the decay of the: viaduct, then it could be removed. The ; Council received the report and ordered it tiled, writing the final chapter in ! th?- story of efforts to obtain a con- j linuatiou of service on this line.
