hear Charlottesvlllo. Ho was also a
brother of James Boiton, a civil en?
gineer, who was k-lllod In a cave-lp
?uring the construction of the Church
11111 Tunnel of the Chesapeake nnd
Ohio Railway.
Mr. Boiton married Miss Susie Talta>
ferro, a sister of Second Assistant City
Enginoor P. P. Tn.liaferro. She dien
ftboue fiftoon years ago. Two daugh?
ter?Misses Minnie and Susie Boiton?
and one son, James Boiton, a sur?
veyor for the Bichmond and Henrico
Railway Company, survive.
Mr. Boiton entered the engineering
service of the city as a mere, boy in
1S6P. Frank T. Bates, the next oldest
attache of the office, entered the office
but a few months later. When Mr.
Boiton was first employed John B.
Crenshaw was City Engineer. He was
succeeded by Charles Dimmock. and
later by a brother of Mr. Bates, S. Ed?
ward Bates, who. in turn was succeed?
ed by Colonel W. E. Cutshaw.
During the first twelve years of
Colonel Cutshaw's administration City
Enginoer Boiling was an assistant in
the office with Mr. Boiton. After lay?
ing out and erecting the Now Resur
volr and pump-house, Mr. Boiling be
camo Superintendent of tho Watei
Works, Mr. Boiton remaining as first
assistant in the Engineer's office.
After the death of Colonel Cutshaw,
Mr. Boiton was acting City Engincet
for several months. He wus a candi?
date for the position in a race with
Mr. Boiling and Building Inspector
Beck.
Oflielajs Expresw Their Regrets.
City Engineer Boiling was much af?
fected at the death of Mr. Boiton. Ho
said he hud never known a more con?
scientious or honest man and that his
loss would be greatly felt in tltc de?
partment. As first assistant in the
office, Mr. Boiton purchased supplies
and had supervision of the city stables
and the street repair force. In recent
years he had been largely occupied in
supervising construction of the system j
of sewers which the city is providing
by bond issue for the annexed terri?
tory, the largest, engineering enter?
prise attempted by tho city since the
settling ba.slns were constructed.
Mr. Boiling expresses the belief that
even members of the Street Committee
were not familiar with the vast amount
of detail work, and that its mere vol?
ume with so short a force would ac?
count for the mistakes of which just
complaint has been made.
Employes of the engineering depart?
ment met at the office yesterday after?
noon and took suitable action on the
death of Mr. Boiton.
Mayor Richardson and many other
city officials took occasion to call at
the house during the day and express
their regret, and pay tribute to the
integrity and fidelity of the man. Sev?
eral members of the Street Committee
also expressed their entire confidence
in the man end their regret that he
should have taken criticism so much
to heart.

yesterday afternoon nt 4:30 o'clock]

(Continued From First Page;)
It on Sunday. February 1?. At that
time Cadets Brant and Jamison were
expelled for conspiring to defy mili?
tary authority, the overt act being the
discharge of bombs. That night the
third class held a meeting and decided j
that it would stand by the dismissed '
men. The next morning they marched I
Into the town of Lexington. General
Nichols was informed that they had |
laid down tin ultimatum that unless
the two men were reinstated and the
rest of the class received without,
penalty they would not come back at
all. Of course, the superintendent
would not consider such a proposition,
and he returned a response directing
the cadets to return to the barracks in
arrest, instead, they went back to the
town and returned only to get thelt
trunks. There were seventy-eight in
this mutiny, and with the two previ?
ously discharged the total was eighty.
An order was Issued "shipping" the
entire class, save a iew who took no
part.
Thirty-three of the boys have since
applied for reinstatement and forty
two others have applied through their
parents.
Compliments ClQi??.
Continuing. General Nichols said that
his relation was two-fold?paternal as
well as military. Ho dUl not remem?
ber that he had ever se.en a better
third class. 77iere were, of course, ex?
ceptions, and some of the boys wert?
en the border of dismissal at the time
of the outbreak. These few, he be?
lieved, were largely instrumental iu
setting the class into the trouble, the
.-opposition being that they felt they
were going to leave anyway, and that
they eoithl by fomenting a disturb?
ance get out without so much dis?
honor.
One tiling for which the class was
especially to be commended, said Gen?
eral Nichols, was its voluntary
promise, religiously adhered to,, not
to Indulge In the miserable practice
of hazing. Its conduct had been ex
emplary throughout. Numbers of them
had since the occurrence, he said, ex?
pressed their regre.t for what they had
done, and lie believed they were mere?
ly the victims of a mistaken sense!
of honor, which led them to believe j
they should stand by their class. He.
add'ed his warmest personal regards
for the men.
I npurdonnhle Sin.
"Rut," concluded General Nichols,
touching r?ii tills point but briefly,
"there is the military side. Tho Vir?
ginia Military Institute, the pride of its
alumni and the pride of the State,
stand- for law. fm- order, for disci?
pline, for constituted authority. These
young men have committed what is \>
us the unpardonable sin?deiiance oi
I discipline it"d ,,f duty. f would ad
vise that they be*not reinstated, ccr- \
'; talnly not at this time."
? Those present representing the boys
were invited t<> .-peak, and first held
! n consultation as to who should pre
sent their case. Under this arrange?
ment, the discussion was opened by
\ George K, Caskle, of Lynchburg. He
! expressed no desire to palliate tpe of.
{ lens.-. lie thought It not the part pi
wisdom to excuse the hoys. But the
j board, like the superintendent, ho said
j acted as guardian of the young men !
J This was a sudden affair, under ini.
j-pulse, of which grown men are fre?
quently guilty; it was but mistaken
class pride, and if older heads had
beep there, as was the case with one
cadet who had a brother In the school
as instructor, they would have gone
bark In at res.!. In accordance with the
order. Mr. Caskie did not believe it
was necessary to tlte discipline of the
school to keep the young men out. He
talked of the home folks who had de?
nied themselves to gl\e the boys an
education He was willing that the)
I (Should have all the penalties tha?
I could he Indicted, so that they wer*
taken back.
Tragedy to Uoys.
j Oreenlee P. I ..etcher, of Lexington
[ was the next speaker, lie said there
,' was no moral obliquity In the case
Ihe cadets; lie thought they hud don't
I wrong, and that it would be a mistake
to lake them bark as a class, but he
.thought also tiny should be reinstated
i Individually, thus eliminating the un?
desirable chi/racters. The affair he
characterized as a tragedy to the pa?
rents and friend-, ami to the boys 11c
advised breaking up the caelets, ami
iiking them buck under such penal tint
as would be a les-on to Ihoi'n ami to
? the re-.i of the school. Mr. I .etch 01
? 1 aroused Interest by bis advocucy oj
the reinstatement of secrot societies,
which are now forbidden.
The nudlenco was deluged In tours
over the tragic appeal mado by
Ghnrles P. Mansfield! Assistant Attor?
ney-General of Illinois, who came from
Monticello. In that State, to attend tho
meeting. Ho pleaded for his own boy.
faying It had been the dream of hi*
life that he should be educated at th?
institute. He was overcome with emo?
tion, and so were many of those pres
ent, when with all the force at his
command ho asked for nothing bul
meroy for his boy. General Nichol?
added his personal trlbuto to young
Manslleld, whom, he said, was at the
head of his class and of perfect be?
havior.
Take Back on CIojbb.
General John E. Boiler, of Harrlson
burg. oiio of the few surviving gen?
eral officers of the Confederacy, asked
that the boys be taken back as a class
ami not Individually, going further
than the other speakers in this re?
gard. He thought the class might
have a grievance, and related an occa?
sion when a friend told him that the
drill was too much like martinet treat?
ment. The generous thing, he thought,
was to readmit the men as a body.
The great majority of the cadets,
said General Boiler, were destined for
civil life, and he did not see the neces?
sity for such rigid discipline in time?
of peace.
Walter E. Addison, of Lynchburg
spoke against placing the brand of
shame on the boys, who had no wlset
head to counsel them and no oppor?
tunity to consult with their parents
They wore, he said, irresponsible to a
largo extent, and without the balance
of older people. They were not guilty
of cheating or grave offenses of that
sort, but only of a mistaken sense ot
honor. He asked that the board tem?
per justice with a reasonable degree
of mercy.
Three Generations.
After Dr. .1. .1. Wiltshire, of Balti?
more i had said a few words along tho
same line, Dallas Flannagan spoke for
his son. B"th these men came from
their homes to attend the meeting.
Mr. 1'lannagan told how his father and
himself had both been educated at the
Institute, and how both of them had
been dismissed and later reinstated
through the mercy of tho board, and
he asked that the same mercy be ex?
tended to the third generation. Hr
thought penalties would not deter boy?
from doing what they thought right,
und that the enforced dismissal would
not bo a guarantee against future
trouble.
Judge George H Christian repre?
sented a kinsman. He said the par
ents would be the ones punished by
keeping the boys away until Septem?
ber. Ho thought the cadets should
have been heard after they came to
their senses. He did not think tlnal
judgment should have been pronounced
until the accused had been heard. As
a matter of fact, he believed tho dis?
missal would cause some enmity to?
ward the school.
11. M. Dlckson, of Norfolk, talked
along the same line.
J Buys Tried to Comiiiand.
In conclusion. General Nichols made
answer to Judge Christian. He said 't
was deplorable that he did not know
of the complications in the case in
lime to take the matter In hand, when
he might have straightened it out by
advice. Tho action of the. boys them?
selves prevented this. The command?
ant of cadets reported to hi in that the
boys hail said they would not return
excepting on the terms they had laid
down. General Nichols then sent his
adjutant to see them, and met. a dele?
gation from tho class coming to the
institute with the ultimatum. It was

Approaches Alone Placed at
$100,000 on Preliminary
Estimate.
Should the . city determine to have
tho approaches at either end as well as
the new Mayo Bridge Itself abovo the
highest records of high water, tho ad?
ditional cost of the approaches will be
about $100,000, according- to a prelimin?
ary report mudo to the subcommittoa
on bridge by City Engineer Boiling
last night. Chairman H. R- Pollard
Jr., of the Flnanco Committee, appear
cd before tho subcommittee for an in?
formal conferenco as to the ultimate
cost of the undertaking, saying that 1
the Finance Commltteo anticipated an J
Issuo of bonds to take care of the
bridge and other obligations of tho
annexation act, and that it was desir?
able that the cost bo kept within rea?
sonable bounds. Already tho city had
paid $11'J.OOO for the sito to tho old
Mayo Land and Brldgo Company. The
cstlmnted cost of tho bridge proper
was placed at $22t5,000, and from bids
in hand it seems that an adequato re?
inforced concrete arch structure with
roadbed forty-four foot wldo and
eight-foot sidowalkB, making a total
width of sixty feet, can bo erected for
that amount.
The bids, however, do not cover tho
approaches. Either thore must be
some cheap form of embankment to
rise to the level of tho bridge live foot
above that of the present bridge, or
else the streets at each end must ba
raised for some distance back to high?
er ground, which would necessitate the
regradlng of many railway tracks. Mr.
Boiling was Instructed to have surveys
and estimates both of permanent and
temporary construction made, and tho
committee will meet later on the
ground, to go over the situation boforo
the contract Is awarded.
The subcommittee will meet on
Thursday afternoon at fi o'clock for
a conferenco with Wilbur F. Watson,
who has been invited to uct as one of

EXPERTS ENDORSE IT.
"Marlon Harland," Mrs. Janet M. Hill,
and Mrs. Sarah Tyson Rorer are among
tho cooking authorities whose names aro
familiar to almost every housewife.
Each has her own distinctive methods
of work, but it is interesting to note
that on the all-important question of a
cooking fat, they are unanimous in
recommending Cottolene.
'?Marion Harland" says of Cottolene:
"It has given complete satisfaction.'1
Mrs. Hill says: "Very satisfactory; glaA
to recommend it." Mrs. Rorer says: "A
much more healthful product than lard."
t With such authority behind it, every
'housekeeper will be safe In giving Cot?
tolene a trial. It Is purer and more
wholesome than lard?and it is more
economical, too, one-third less being re?
quired.
