The Richmond pool room and the two at Jackson City pursue the same system as that employed by the pool rooms in New York city, that of receiving the money of the Dettors and transmitting it to the tracks, charg- ing a small commission for doing so. Of course the means pursued by them is but a subterfuge, having but one object—the evasion of the law. It ts needless to state, too, that the money re- ceived is not in reality transmitted to the tracks. The Richmond court, as stated in Tux Star, convicted the man under a com ized by what is known as the M acted at the recent session of the Virginia legis- lature. The defendant appealed, and it is not’ Ukely that the case will be bi | appeals for some time.

Probably No Contest at Chicago. Last evening the Weller faction of the cen- tral democratic committee of the District held echort meeting at the rooms of the Columbia Democratic Club, 1429 Pennsylvania avenue. The report of the committee appointed to inves- tigate the late primary elections was received and filed, and nothing but routine busines was transacted, the session lasting but half an hour. While the members of the Weller fac- tion dectined to talk upon the subject, it is un- derstood that no contest will be made by them defore the Chicago convention respecting the right of Mesers. Norris and Davis to admission to that convention. Nevertheless, a number of the Weller committee will go to Chicago, and it is said that thoy will there decide upon what ection, if any, they will take in the matter. 2R. DICKBON FOR HARMONY. When asked by a Stan reporter last evening whether he would contest the seats of Messrs. Rorris and Davis, Mr. Wm. Dickson said that was a matter-to be hereafter determined. “I am for harmony,” said Mr. Dickson, “more than for anything else, Personally I’ am not desirous of engaging in any scramble for a seat in the convention, but whether or not there will be a contest made I'am unable to state at the present time. Noone more regrets than I do the differences in the party here in the Dis- trict, and I am sure every one will admit that I have done all in my power to remove them. “For Mr. Norris,” continued Mr. Dickson, “I Jackson City bookies | have the greatest respect.

T have never publicly criticised his letter and never publicly or privately termed itas ‘brutal, ar- Togant and irritating.'” Being informed that Mr. Norris had in an in- terview with a Stax reporter expressed a will- ingness to have the letter published Mr. Dick- won said: “I am perfectly willing to bave it published, but prefer that Mr. Norris should ‘ak for its publication over his own signature. After a struggle, lasting many years, the Dis- trict finally secured the right ‘to vote in the democratic convention. The right was given it merely as a matter of favor, for unlike the other territories it will never be admitted to statehood. Therefore the District democrats should be careful to carry no quarrels to the convention. They should not follow the ex- ample of their republican friends in that re- ing of the District's right to participate in the | convention. So, yon see,"that is another reason why I have done all in my power to stop the quarrel among the local democrats.” “Who will be the nominee?” “Now, the weather is much too warm to wrestle with such conundrums.

AN IMPROVEMENT PROMISED. The new plant of Capt. Herbert Bryant at Point Lumley, foot of Duke street, for the man- ufacture of fertilizers is being made quite an extensive establishment. A switch will be made .from the Midland railway on Union street into the yard of the new plant and the cars will thus be kept off the Union street track. This section of the city, which was long unimproved, has lately become a hive of busy factories. Messrs.

Capt. H. L. Street of the Capitol police has | issued the following order: By direction of the honorable board of Capitol police commission- ers the attention of lieutenants in charge of re- liefs is called to section 4 of the act of Congvess (public No. 135), approved July 1, 1882, which prohibits the stepping or climbing upon any Fintue, seat or wall of the Capitol or grounds, mnalty for so doing being $100 fine or alxty days’ imprisonment, or both, at the discretion of the judge. The officers in charge of reliefs will see that the provisions of the above act are strictly complied with in the future. It has come to the attention of the board that in the past but little or no attention has been paid to the enforcement of this act. The force will note that in section 9 of the above named act it is provided “that it shall be the duty of all persons employed in the service of the govern- ment in the Capitol or its grounds to prevent, ax fur as may be in their power, offenses against this act, and to aid the police, by information or otherwise, in securing the arrest and convic- tion of offenders.” pel i Jack Hughes Convicted.
