he will to-day In Huntings t'ourt. Fart 2,
present bills of exception on which to base
an appeal to the .Supreme Court from thn
decision of $1.(mj damages for the plaintiff,
brought In by the Jury several weeks ego.
The cos? in question aroused more interest
in the Southstdo than any trial of recent
years. It extended over a period of five
days and drew together a big array uf
legal talent.

Judge Wells will have far his considera?
tion to-day several cases In chancory.
The trial of the five persons accused of the
recent robbery of a freight car on the rail?
way siding containing a shipment of shoes,
will be taken up to-morrow. There are four

that the matter can hardly be finished In

Didn't Like Decision.
Justice M&urlce'a decision yesterday morn?
ing in Pollco Court, Part 2, in favor of
Thomas Kelly, who was charged by Mrs.

of a stove, broupht on the judge's
head severe criticism from the woman. She
was finally ejected from the court room by
Sergeant Llpscomb at the order of th* jus?
tice.
Abutted the Court.
Harry- Holland, a young man of good fam?
ily connection In th.? Southslde, was tried I
on the charge of belns drunk, abusing the
officer making the arrest and stealing a
quart of whiskey from Vaughan's. saloon.
He was fined $5 for being drunk. $10 for |
abusing the. ogfleer and received a penalty
of ninety days In-Jail for the theft of the j
whiskey. The Jail sentence was later com- I
muted to thirty days.
The scene was such a one as is seldom j
seen in the Police Court. Jude? J. M. Greg- j
ory plead for the court's clemency for the
youth, while Holland's respected fathei I
seemed crushed by hi* vm's disgrace. Had
Holland himself shown any sign of repent?
ance, it is probable that the Justice would
have been touched, but 88 It was the pris?
oner turned the heart of all present against
him by his ugly demeanor toward the jus?
tice. Neither his father's pleadings for
silence nor tho justice's order to put him
behind the bars had the effect of quieting
Holland's tongue, and every possibility of
clemency at the hands of the justice was
shattered by the prisoner's Insulting re?
marks.
Both Offler W. E. Waymack. who made
the arrest, and Captain Alle Wright testi?
fied yesterday morning that never had they
heard an officer abused as Waymack hud
been by Holland at the time of his arrest
and even after he was Incarcerated. Hol?
land's last remark was to ihe effect that
the justice might as well give him a lifo
sentence as thirty days In jail.

CONTRACTOR CAN'T GET WIRE
Factory "Wires It Will Ship Car?
load if City Guarantees
Payment.
Stops we re taken for the second time
last night looking toward rescinding
the contract between the city and
Storms & Co.. of Newark, for erecting
the overhead distributing system of
the municipal electric plant, after a tel?
egram had been read from Roebltn &
Sons to the effect that they wore pre?
pared to ship a carload of wire to the
contractor if the city would guarantee
the payment of the bill.
"The cat's out of the bag at last."
remarked Alderman Don Leavy, who
was presiding
Work Much Delayed.
Superintendent Trafford reported
that the work on the overhead contract
was being, in his opinion, "unnecessar
rily delayed"; that thi?re was a lack
of material on the ground; that men
had been laid off. and present condi?
tions did not justify him In anticipat?
ing ??n early completion of the eontract.
Ho presented correspondence with the
makers of wire and mast arm;-, tho
Roeblin people ?.-xpressing their will?
ingness to ship a carload of wire, now
ready, it the city will guarantee pay?
ment.
Charles Taylor appeared for Storms
Sc Co.. making a general statement. Ho
said he knew of no reason why the
supply houses should have shut off
credit to his Arm; no reason why the
matorlal should not come forward, un?
less it was that Rnebllp wanted to
"hold him up." His firm had previous?
ly owed them larger amounts, he
claimed, and it was inconsistent to
mako a complaint at this time. His
firm had not paid for material used
because all of the bills had not yet
been paid by the city. He stated thut
his firm had done, roughly, about
S3".000 worth of work, and had been
paid $12.800. He seriously doubted
whether Roeblln really had the car of
wire ready for shipment, and said he
knew the firm did not have it ready last
Friday.
City I'nyw Honvlly.
in response to a statement of Chair?
man Don Leavy that the contract
called for completion of the work on
November 7 last, and \that the delay
'was costing the city in excess of ?4,000
a month, through duplicate cost of
operating the municipal electric plant
and paying tho Virginia Railway and
Power Company for street lighting.
Mr. Taylor said that not until late In j
December had the city completed con- 1
tracts by which It secured the neces?
sary right of way.
Several members of the committee
proposed that the contract be, rescinded ;
at once, and that Superintendent Traf- i

been approved by the entire Washing?

Tho proposition of whether to adver?
tise for bids for erecting the distribu?
tion system on the southslde or, 'n
view of tho trouble with Storms &
Company, to have the superintendent
hire men and teams and supervise the
work, was referred to a subcommittee,
consisting of Messrs. Jones, Davis and
Lumsden.
Mr. Jones proposed that the same
subcommittee look into the advisability
of erecting incandescent lamp stream
era over Hull Street, two or three to
the block, for the busiest ten squares.
Mr. Traf ford reported that the work
could be done for about $2.100. and
would provide a serviceable loop, which
would be useful in lighting public
