tercsting news that thc Chesapeako and
Ohio will cut Its rato on coul to Peters?
burg, Norfolk and Portsmouth, meeting
tho Norfolk and AA'ostem rnte of $1.C0.
lt has been sald for somo tlmo past
that the tcrritory in Vlrglnla was divldtd
by the roads under tho domlnatlon of the
PonnsylvanhL Bailroud and that by moaus
of a prohlbitlvo rato publlshctl by tho
Norfolk "?nd AVestern, Rlchmond und
Newport News woro fumishod coal by
tho Chesapeako and Ohlo, whllo for a
llko prohlbitlvo rate publlshed by tho
Chesapeako and Ohlo, Petersburg, Nor?
folk and Portsmouth wero hnnded over
to tho Norfolk and 'Western.
On yesterday tho Norfolk and AVestern
publlshed a rutc of $1.00 to Rlchmond,
whllo the Chesapeako and Ohio at once
announced that its rate to Petersburg,
Norfolk and Portsmouth.
Thls means that the comblnatlon, If any
existcd, for tho divislon of terrltory has
been broken for tho Umaiit least by tho
roads undor tho authorlty of tho Penn
sylvunla Rallroad.
What is the Significence?
Coming os it does at a tim0 when tho
wholo county is aroused over' the out
oomo of proposed rato legislation, tho
news of the equallty of rates publlshed
by tlio Chesapeako and Ohlo and . tho
Norfolk and AA'estorn is full of slgnifl
cance, think some.
It may niean that Uio Perinsylvanla.
Rallroad authoritios aro olanmed at tho
cxprosslon of popular disapproval and
hnvo ln*-.tructed the dominated roads to
do nway with unpopular oomblnationa
for the present, nccordlng to others lt

now tho samo rato ot $1.G0, publlshed
both by the Chosapcako and Ohio nnd

That thero seems to bc no reason to
fear a rato llght between tho two roads
Is evidont from a statcrueut lniulo lnst

Oeneral Freight Agont Holohklss, who
snld:
"Tho Chesapeako and Ohio Rallway

Mayor Cuiitbn McCUrthy dclivcred a
flerj' and eloiiuent lecture to a puckcd.
houso In thc Academy of Music last nlght
on "Tho Fouridutlbris of tlio Cltles," anil
wns trequcntly intcrrnptcd by prolonged
appluusc.
IIo was introduced by Mr. S.. S. P.
Patteson, und spoke for nearly two houra
ln a most cntertainlng ? munner. Tho
Mayor sald many strlking things, but
thoso which exclted the greatcst Interest
related to Counclls, whlch, he declared,
wero often not mnde up ot men. of In?
telligence und lnformatlon.
Ho was scvero in hls arralgnmciit ot
corporatlon attorncys, representing prl?
vate Interests in leglslatlvo bodics, and
declared the tlmo was near when tiio
peoplo was to tell them they must step
down and out.
But the most scnsatlon uttorances of
Hla Honor wero In referenco to lawyers
ln thn Councll, who seek to Tiave laws
ovuded In tho courts whlch they holned
to framo.
A Dirty Traitor
-?Tho man who sits ln the Couneil
chamber," ho deriared, "and then
gocs Into court and stoks to get them
evndcd Is a dirty traitor."
Another strlking sentence was:
"Tho lawycr who defends crliiilnuls,
and accopts stolen goods aa fecs, Is
no better than tho thlef hlmself.
"Thoro aro somo lawyers hero who
llve on stolen goods, and they desorve
to bo dlsgraced In tho public eyc".
Tho address was both cntertainlng and
Instructlvc, and was dclivcred In Hla
Honor's usual vlgorous style.
Hc asscrted that rellglon and lilgn,
morals wero tho cornorstones of govern?
ment, and that when they should bo de
slroyed the human race. would deonv.
Argulng from thls standpoint for ubou-:
an hour, ho took up tho subject of coun?
clls and councilnien, and contended that
only Intelllgcnt, well Informed, moral men
should bo choson to represcnt thc people.
Speaker Introduced.
It was S:2o o'clock when tho curtain
went up, and Mr. Patteson arosc to in
troduco tho speaker. Ho sald:
Ladies and Clentlemcn,?Tho spcaker dl

UAohuiond aiullen-ce, ,cortalnly not a*

In llteraturo, ho deservediy becamo fa**.

called ''8oldlen I.lfo ln* the.. Army of
Northorn Vlrglnla," moro than twenty
years ago, and ln polltics ho has long
been the central figure in Virglnia"?
capltal city. It is because he has opin
ions of his own, tho courago to expresa
them and thc hlghest IdeiU fnr civic du
ties, both for the citissen and tho olflce
holdor; and besides he forcefuUy say*
things, and, as wo all know, ho accom
pllshos a great deal. It is no flattery to
say of him that ho fears no man nor nny
specinl Interest, whother lt Is corporato
or polltlcnl. Ho has at heart the gooil
of tho clty nnd thc Stato, and will to
nlght doubtlcss gtvo you somo twentieth,
century tdcas, bosed upon thoso upon
whlch Washliigton nnd Mason and tha
other great Alrginluns llved their lfves.
In tho wonderful tide of prosperity
-whlch Is now sweeping over tho city,
thero ls- 110 ono more honest and able to'
bo found ln our mldst to stand at tho
holm than Mayor Carlton McCarthy, who
wlll now nddress you on "The Founda.
tlon of tho Clty Government."
Heartily, Received.
Tremeiulous applauso grcotod tho Mayor
when lio came forward and fnec-d the
great audlonco bol'oro him.
"I um not hero' to dlscuss nny trlfllng
theme," ho commeuced, "or to ulr ,anj
personal giiovanees, or to make any
apologics for my acts."
Thero was a good deal oC eonfusion.
and tho Mayor said tirmly and amid
much applauso; "I would llko to hava
an ofllcer Iu tho upper gallory to stoj
tlhri noiso there.
Tho Mayor read from the Constltutlon
aud Stututcs of A'lrglnia and tho Charter
and 'Ordlnuuces of tho city to show thal
from tho very flrst, all liad recognlzcd
a higher belng, and tlho prlnclplo of car?
ry lug morallty and honcsty Into tho con?
duct of tho publlc buslness. "Ttuj
basls of all thls olvlliaatton," ho said, j
"and tho foundution cif all govomniente*,

of morals, not only goveniluont, but

ruins.
"Tho Christian roligion is tho sreatest
