Question of Resident Judge at Rich- mond—Nicol Primary Election Bill— R. and D. Reorganization Bill. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. RICHMOND, Va., Feb. 14, 18%. R. H. Cardwell, who was recently chosen one of the supreme court judxes, will re- sign his position 2 speaker of the house of delegates about the ist of March, a few | days before that body adjourns, so that his Successor can be chosen by the present body in order that he may perform certain duties prescribed by law during vacation. Mr.John F.Ryan of Londoun will undoubt- edly be chosen speaker to succeed Mr. Card- well. Mr. Ryan is new chairman of the committee on roads, chairman of the den- | ocratic caucus, and is one of the posers | members in point of service in the body. | He usually presides over the house in the absence of Speaker Cardwell and discharres the duties of such with ability and ease. It was expected that Mr. Cardwell would re- sign the speakership immediately after his | election early in January, but to the surp-ise | of many he Has held on and will continue to do so until the Ist of March. Mr. Cardwell is prominently mentioned | for the place of “resident judge” of the | Supreme court; the law providing that one | | of the members of the court shall reside in Richmond city, and allows tim one thous- and dollars per annum additional sal- ary. Mr. Cardweil has been mention for this place because of his prox- imity to the city, his residence se ing at Hanover Court House, short dis- tance out. His friends say, however, that | he would not accept the position if he ix required to move his residence to the city | and give up*his fine country seat. If he! were chosen, they say, with the understanc- | | ing that he could continue to live in the | county and come to the city dally, as ir | now his custom, he would be glad to accept | the place. The law, however, specitcally | provides that the “resident judge shall live in the city of Richmond.” | Mr. Cardwell {s a man of considerable means and wouli not abandon his country | home for the sake of one thousand dollars | @ year additional. This being the case, it is quite probable that Judge James Keith of | Fauquier will receive this position. | ‘Two members of the present court, Judge Lewis, the president, and Judge Fauntleroy, the resident judge, have their homes in th city; and Judge Hinton, who lives in Peters- | burg, is within one hour's ride of the court. | Maj. John¢W. Riely, who was first men- ) tioned in this correspondence for president of the new court, is most likely to be chosen. , It is generally conceded now that he is the man for the place. The Nicol Primary Election Bi The Nicol primary election bill is exciting much interest throughout the state gener- ally. The bill “legailizes” primary elections and conventions, whether state or county. In other words, it places the operations and | conduct of primary elections and nominat-| ing conventions under the general election law of the state, and any violations are | subject to the penalties of the act regulat- ing elections. This measure is the out- growth of much dissatisfaction over the old primary plan by which, some of the news- | | papers claim, it gives the control of nomi- nations to the political “heelers” and loaf- ers in both cities and towns. It has been the subject of much discussion for some | time past, and it being a matter of grave) political importance the assembly is adopt- ing the mode of “festina lente” in the mat- ter. The bill, however, is being liberally discussed. The members from the rural districts with a few exceptions are oppos- | ing the measure, because they claim that | | such a law would prove bothe>some and in- convenient to the country people. A major- ity of the members of the house are dis- posed to advocate some sort of a primary measure with material amendments will get through the assembly et this session. Mr. Charles E. Nicol of Prince William, the av. thor of the bill, is ably defending it, but says he hardly believes it will pass in its present shape. R. and D. Reorganization. The Richmond and Danville reorganiza- tion bill now before the legislature is one | of the most #mportant measures which has appeared during the present session of the assembly. The bill, which contains about 2,000 words, bears this simple and harmless title: “An act euthorizing the purchasers | of the Richmond and Danville railroad, their assigns and successors to become ard be a corporation, to adopt a name therefor | and to possess and exercise general powers: and authorizing the consolidation therewith | of other corporations.” If short, the Richmond and Danville peo- binations with other railroads in conjunc- tion with which they are now operating and to acquire their stock, etc., and employ various beneficiary methods of railroading | through legislative ection, which they | now employ without ff, and by complicated ways and means. | Ju view of the fact that the lower branch of the assembly is composed of a iarge | agrarian representation, imbued with iti | undiminished prejudices against railroad corporations, it is believed that the bill will be fought desperately, if not successfully. The few insignificant bills involving rail road interests which have already appear- | ed in the house have been carefully watch. | ed by the rural representatives, and Capt. Commander Patterson of Backingham,thei: feader, has invariably demanded that the full text of the measures be read, and in some instances, seconded by J. F. Withrow of Bath, has secured amendments to them. Gen. Lee Not a Candidate. If a private letter from Gen. Fitzhugh | Lee to a friend in Lynchburg, Va., counts for anything, that gentleman will not be a | candidate for Congress in the tenth ecn- | gressional district, now represented by | Henry St. G. Tucker. The general, in this | letter, deciared that he would not oppose | Mr. Tucker for the democratic nomination, | ¥ | who is his personal and Political friend. jIn fact, it seems that Gen. has | settled down to business in real earnest, | being the president of several large manu. facturing and speculative concerns, and has for the present, at least, given up all idea of political preferment. —_——__ ABOUT GEORGETOWN. The Matters of Local Interest That Are Talked About. The members of the Masonic Aid Asso- ciation last evening elected the following officers to serve the ensuing year: A. B. Jackson, president; George J. Fritch, vice president; F. W. Storch, secretary, and Charles Becker, treasurer. Two men:bers of the association have died during the past year, Messrs. A. J. Beall and R. 1. Middleton, and their qualities as men and brothers were feelingly recalled. Among those who knew the departed best and spoke of them were Messrs. G. J. Fritch, 8. C. Palmer, Thomas, A. B. Jackson, Jobn Hieston and Danl. Johnson. The officers of the association receive no salary, though the duties of the secretary, particularly, are humerous. _ The Canal Trustees. ‘The question of allowing the present trus- tees to continue the management of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal for ten more | years will be discussed today in the court at Hagerstown. If permission is granted the Transportation Company will be given the right to establish electrical boats on the canal. Those concerned in it will make it a big enterprise. Paragraphs of Interest. The house in the deep hollow at the north- | east corner of 3ith and 8 streets is to be | raised to the level of the street, in order to permit the filling in of the place with dirt, to be taken from Fenwick’s hill. The spring fishing season will open the latter part of March. In order to be pre- pared, enemies of the finny tribe on this side of the creek cre pulling out nets and making the usual repairs to them. Fisher- men predict big catches the coming season. W. A.

Secretary Langley of the Smithsonian Institution has contracted with Mr. Robert Stein, leader of the Ellesmere Land enpe- dition, for the delivery of two pairs of musk oxen for the National Zoological Park at Washington. This acquisition will be of unusual interest because, so far as Known, no zoological park or menagerie in this country or Europe is known wo Possess a living specimen of that animal Even stuffed specimens are very rare, the only one in the United States being that presented by Dr. Kane to the museum of the Philadelphia Academy of Sciences. The musk ox is important from a@ biologic | Poluc of view, being invermediate between the sheep and the ox, so much #0 that various travelers call it indiscriminately musk sheep and musk ox. A full-grown | Specimen is about the size of @ two-yeur- old cow, and weighs about 7W pounds. in its native haunts it feeds on grass and lichens, It runs very fast, and climbs hills and rocks with greet facility. In the rarely visited parts of Grinnell Land, hav- ing no beasts of prey to guard agains, it was found so devoid of shyness that a man might almost walk up and plunge « knife into it. The animal is said to be very abundant on Kilesmere Land, the very name of that land being, in the Eskimo language, Umingmam Nuna, that is, Musk- ox and. The hair, brown’ in color, is jong that it almost reaches the and, if obtained in sufficient Would be very usefvl in the arts. W. Feilden, naturalist to the English ex- edition of 1875-76, has long advocated the incroduction of these animals into Great Britain, quanuy, Col. H. “We find,” says he, “that che habitat of the musk-ox is comparatively ch to Europe, and I see no insuperable the way of procuring liv specimens of these most interesting — mais. As far back as the year 1879 I point- ed out, in The Zoologist «p. 37), what a valuable accession io our fauna the musk- ©xX would prove, if it could be introduced Successfully into Great Britain. I see Lo reason why it should not thrive on the mountains of the highlands of Scotland. the winter season the musk-ox is covered with @ long stapled tine wool in addition to its coat of hair. This wool is of a Mgnt yellow color and as fine as silk. Sir John Richardson states that stockings made from this wool were more beautiful than silk ones. Young musk-oxen are very eas- ily reared and tamed and there could be no great difficulty in catching @ither old or young in Jameson's Land. The risks inct- dent to their transportation. from East Greenland to Europe are small, and the | Subject is well worthy the consideration of the council of our Zoological Society.” The Greely party caught several musk calves, which became very tame and af- fectionate and readily ate such food as was given them, but after some weeks, for rea- Sons not ascertained, they sickened and died. As, however, the polar bear and wal- rus readily survive in captivity, and do not appear to suffer from the heat of summer in temperate latitudes, there seems to be no good reason why musk oxen should not thrive in the National Zoological Park. ———— Fourth-Class Postmastera, The total number of fourth-class post- masters appointed today was fifty-one.
