NORFOLK,V-.VA., July 9.—Organised

labor throughout the State is deeply in-

terested in the rumor that an endeavorwill be made to have the ConstitutionalConvention insert a clause in. the new.State . Constitution providing for a com-pulsory arbitration .board: Meetings ofthe various labor unions in the

1-different

cities -of Virginia have been held, anddelegates electd <to accompany PresidentNoel,; of Roahoke, the head of trie Fede-ration of Labor In this -State, to" Rich-mond, at once, the body to appear therebefore the convention, and enter a -vigor-ous protest against the adoption of the.compulsory "arbitration "clause. .

The laboring faction, is in favor, of.aState Arbitration Board, but is opposed

to arbitration's being made compulsory,because they fear the appointment ofthe board's membors may be controlledby corporate, interests. . , ..

THIRD BRIDGE AT ST.'LOUIS.

The nicest-looking pavement in the city

is^ tliat piece of new sheet- asphalt onEighth street,' between Grace and Broad.Every one who passes has somethingcomplimentary to say about the beauty

of the work and the splendid appearanceof the asphalt.

So well as this piece of work takenthat a number of citizens are seriously

thinking of making a fight for asphaltpavement throughout the length ofBroad street, from the City Hull to th"cMasonic Temple. There are a large

number of -business-men on Broad streetwho are willing-and anxious to .con-tribute largely to the matter, if-the citywill undertake the. work of changing theold rough pavement for the unapproach-

able asphalt. Four on yesterday saidthey would give $500 a piece.

Of course, the- cort of " the pavementwill be immense, but the people seem,

willing to defray their part of the ex-penses if the city will take hold \u25a0of thematter in earnest."

The rough and uneven appearance orthe pavement on Broad street has longbeen a subject of unfavorable comment

on the part of visitors and citizens. Thestreet, they say, is worthy of a betterpavement. And they think sheet' asphaltone of the most beautiful, as well asone of the most substantial, pavementbthat, could possibly be used.

The movement"

seems now to be onfoot, and it willdelight many citizens .ofRichmond if Broad street gets her duesin the line of pavement.

One of the greatest surprises in the

history of the municipality "was sprung

last night, when, at the very beginning

of the meeting of the Board of Aldermen,

"a motion- made by Major Otway S.. Allento lay

'the ordinance .granting a fran-

chise to the Southern Bell -Tele;WioneCompany upon the table pending a de-

.clsion of the lftigation in the UnitedStates Supreme. Court between the city,

and the Bell Company prevailed by a

vote of 9 to 8.'

\.

Itis safe to say that hardly a' person

in the hall was prepared to see such'an.abrupt ending of a meeting that hadbeen looked ,fordward to' by" every-

body as about to.be one of^the greatest

Council fights in recent times. Eventhose who expected the ordinance wouldbe turned down were greatly surprised

that the matter was introduced so, early

and -was terminated so abruptly. Sur-

prise was depicted upon every face /whenthe result of the vote was announced,

and this surprise was not dissipatedwhen, a little later, the last man :left

the hall.Th» meeting had been announced

through the press, and had been, talked

upon the streets until it"was thoroughly

well known in the city that the matterwould be settled definitely at the. meeting

to be. held last night. As a result of thisa large crowd had gathered in the Coun-

cil chamber when the meeting was calledto order, many of whom were among themost prominent and influential people of

the city. • jONE MEMBER ABSENT.', 4

COLUMBUS, 0., July 9.—The HcLean-Kilbourne element at the. district- meet-ings" this' evening secured control of all.the committees, and accordingly will;have,

everything '\u25a0 its way at the DemocraticState Convention to-morrow. .It-was sostrongly in the majority that there wasno friction. • ;

the McLean ''element .hadT' almost every-thing. The controlling element did. not

ride rough-shod over minorities in any_

of the districts, • but when names wereproposed for names on the committees,

there were -inquiries as to: how theystood, and if the replies were not satis-factory. they . were "excused" in somecases, as quietly as jurors and in otherswith ballots. The McLean-Kilbourne* ele-ment,, while unusually courteous, made

no concessions. \u25a0

the tickets to ;the McLean-Kilbournemen, where there were: contesting.-dele-gates; .and they took all the districtsexcept those which include Cleveland, inwhich," under, the -unit rule, they, couia

LOCAL LEGISLATION-

BEFORE ALABAMIAKS.

I:I? likely-.hat Mr. Glass will offer thla

aeek or next a resolution instructing theci:ffraire Committee not to frame a sut-

•-.ici' clause, which it is contemplated

Fhnl! be submitted to ihe people for ratJ-• --.'ion. There is a pronounced sentiment

in ib* convention infavor of proclaiming

:hf>* sufirase clause of the Constitution,

and submitting the remainder of the coni-

.:.-<: ir.strument to the abridged electo-j-stc. Mr- Glass said last night that ha

iad drawn the resolution on the subject,

.-a would offer it this week 'if 'well(\u0084: ii:gh to do so. He is very unwell.

A Southwest man said last night that

the people Of his section were united in a

::• .-Ire to have the Constitution ready to

>... sul-mitted fit the fall elections. Ho

esia further that his people wanted the

O. j'~s:itu*Jon voted on only by those who

-.vere Qualified under xhe provisions there-of. He did not think his people .wantedmore than a poll-tax prerequisite for

i-fftlag; and he thought tha.t they were in

ftvor of a tax of f1.50, to be paid six

months before the <3ay of election.

Captain Parks willoffer a resolution to-

cay, which is designed to make seveuil

changes in the jury system. In speaking

of the proposed resolution last night,

Ti-tain Parks said: "Ibeiieve a large

Einoant of money will be saved to the

Tax-payers by the changes indicated. 1

da not see that there is any particular

virtue in the number 'twelve,* that thatnumber, and that alone, should be select-t-j \n constitute a jury. The resolutionsprovide for a smaller number in misde-

r.K-anors and inall civil cases. In chan-

cery cases, involving any frequently,

ihcusands of dollars, the judge of tnecourt, one man, is charged with the duty, j

and has the power to decide all questions

of law and fact, except where an issue Irut of chancery is provided for. Ifthere

is any necessity for the expense of a. jury

in a criminal case in which the pris-

oner pleads guilty, Ido not see it. ithink in such case the judge ought toimpose the penalty as provided by law.e::d enter up judgment. Thousands ofdebars are paid out every year in tiie"jtrial of small cases, which are cogniza^We. "under, the law by a justice. Suits areinstituted in the court, or they are re-rnoi-ed or appealed from the justice and

<i jury empann-elled to try the issue, andin most of the cases of this'character thecosts of the jury paid by the State arclareely in excess of the judgment recov-?red. All cases of this character shouldire tried by the court without the inter-vention of a Jury. Ibelieve an investing

tion of those cases would show that theState would save money by paying th&debts rather than have to pay the costsof the jury. '.

Iam not wedded to the exact provi-sions of the resolutions, but some similarchanges are demanded in the interests ot\u25a0-cpnornic.il administration of the gov-

Ruhlin showed that he knew a sx.iatdeal more about the game than Fitz-simmons did, and it was the latter's ligil-ity wliich prevented his being thrownmuch more quicHly. Ruhlin's -weight wasannounced at \u25a0 195.- pounds,-

:and Fitzsim-mons was said to weigh only 160. Whenthey laced each other, the spectators

cheered enthusiastically.Fitzsimmons, in trying for a hold,
