Wall or n Itullilliic Fall*.
About 11 o'clock yesterday morning a
part,of the north wall of the brick
building on the southeast corner of
Rhea's lane and Union street fell with
a tremendous crash, leaving an open?
ing of 10x20 feet. Mr. John J. Batten
occupied the building as a horse-shoe
ing establishment, imo of the hands at
work al the lime saw the trembling of
the wall Just before It gave way, and
hurried out of the shop into the street
Just In time to escape being caught.
Fortunately no one was hurt, and the
only damage was the complete wreck
of a hack standing In the lane, it Is
thought that the portion of the wall
that caved in was caused by water
running for sometime from a leaky stut?
ter, which saturated the mortar be?
tween the bricks and weakened the
wall. The building, which is quite old,
is the i . -rty of Mr. B. A. Richard?
son.

It was reported that there was a row
at WiUoughby Spit yesterday evening
because of a passenger on the Norf >lk
und Ocean Yiew railway refusing to
pay Iiis fare. There was no reoort of
the trouble made to the police authori?
ties here and the particulars were not
learned. One rumor was to the effect
thai there was a shooting scrape. The
telephone wires to Ocean View being
out of working order, Detective Bast

the affair was said to have been re?
ported, . ..ai.i not be communicated

Kevrnnnnnr Jinn. Not Actor,
Among tiie passengers from New
York to Norfolk last night was Mr. P..
Myers, a member of the Dispatch staff,
who bus been to the big city on his va?
cation nnd who 'incidentally did some
work for the swell Bvcning Post, of
Gotham town. Mr. Myers is the corres?
pondent here of the Post, and the Lit?

the strike on that paper, wns short,
nnd the local man was assigned to
writing up the proceedings at the cor?
oner's inquest of the famous Kronnian

in a local paper which stated he would
embark in the theatrical business was
an erroneous one, as his newspaper in?
terests In Norfolk are sufficiently large
to require ids presence in this city.

Free from the utorm that rage;! here
for about one hundred and ten hours,
Norfolk has resumed her well-earned
title of being the most active city on
the South Atlantic Coast. An old say?
ing with the people of Norfolk is that
"We get a taste1 of everything that
comes along." While this may be to,
it Is with thankfulness tve 0,110:0 the
departure of the storm and the little
damage it did us. When we take into
consideration the terrible havoc
wrought In other places it visited, and
little damage it did here, we have an?
other proof that Norfolk is the best
place 111 the world to live in. Beyond
the delay of steamers running in and
out of the port, and the continuous
downpour of rain that has kept people
in doors, is all the business men of
Norfolk complain of.
MOVEMENTS OP STEAMERS.
The Merchants' and Miners' steamer
Juniata, which left Boston Thursday
afternoon, arrived here between ? and
7 o'clock yesterday morning. She
brought forty passengers, a large ma?
jority of Whom were holies. Tiny re?
port a rough voyage. Most everybody
was sea-sick, the gentlemen suffering
a little more than the fair fox. The
big steamer tossed and rolled, and while
her decks were washed repeatedly by
tile waves, ,;|ie sustained no serious in?
jury, only ten gentlemen and two
ladles ventured to the table Friday for
dinner, and they did not tarry at the
table long. The watchers on deck had!
a rough experience. They were unable |
to stand without grasping something
for support. This is the worst storm
the .luni.it.1 has experi< need, she being j
a comparatively new ship. She left for
Baltimore last evening.
The freight, boat Gaston, of the Bay
Line, tleft Baltimore at l o'clock Fri?
day evening, reaching Old Point at ?
o'clock yesterday morning, and this
city a: :i o'clock. Site did not ex?
perience ii very rough trip.
Tie- steamer Mobjack; of the Old Do?
minion Steamship Company's line,
which had a rough experience in Ches?
apeake Bay Thursday, went out as
usual yesterday morning.
The delayed steamer Yemassee. of the
Clyde Dine, should have left here Wed?
nesday for Philadelphia, but did not go
out until noon yesterday, and was fol?
lowed by the Winyah later in the after?
noon, on time.
The delay of the Guyandotte in get?
ting away from Norfolk early in the
week was the cause of the non-nrrlval
of an Old Dominion steamer from New
York yesterday.
The Merchants' and Miners' steamer
arrived yesterday morning and left
last evening, and with their departure
the worst storm thut Norfolk has ex?
perienced in years came to a sudden
close.
The Gloucester, which was to have
left here Friday, did not leave until
yesterday morning.
There are BeVeral sloops ami oat
boats ashore at Scwell's Toint as a re?
sult of the storm.
All bay steamers arrived on time.
A TUG'S ROUGH EXPERIENCE.
The ocean tug Triton. Captain Chose,
arrived here late Thursday night after
a perilous trip from Boston. She had
two barges in tow. the Enos Soiile and
Knlckerbocker.The former was brought
lo Newport News nnd the latter was
anchored off Cape Charles light, where
she still remains. unless four ' red,
which is unlikely, as she is of 2,6tJ 6ns
register ami very staunch. She carries
a crew of seven or eight men, who are
believed to lie in no great danger.
The waves washed over the Triton,
tossing her about like a tub, and hut
fos- her nbillty to compete with old
ocean, she would have been swamped.
Till: LOST AARON REPPARD.
The wire to Cape Henry was in work
ing order yesterday morning and the
observer there reported tin- passing of
a steamer, name and destination un?
known. She has a yellow funnel, upon
which a led star appeared. Nothing
can be learned about the survivors of
the wrecked schooner Aaron Reppard,
as it is impossible to communicate with
coast points south of Cope Henry.
DAMAGE IN NORFOLK.
Twenty-eight trees were blown down
by the heavy winds in the four wards
of the city.
Rev. .1. B. Merrill's house on Chapel
street was injured by the fall of one of
this number.
Some few windows were shattered,
generally by slamming doors, und a
few loose blinds blown off.
LINEMEN BUST.
The storm of Hie p.ist week has caus?
ed a large amount of work for the line?
men of the various telegraph and tele?
phone companies, but, after very dili?
gent work, they have things in work?
ing order again.
Yesterday two large trees, which were
loosened on Fenchuroli street, between
c.ive ami Holt streets, jind leaned over
threatening probably destruction to (he
telephone wires there (but were ob?
served in tim. ) were , ut down and re?
moved before damage was done.
Friday night a cable of the Southern
St.r.es Telephone Company, at th,- .-oi?
lier of Bermuda and F< nchurch streets,
was noticed to be smoldering, the lire
being caused by an electric wire. The
box was cut away by their foreman.
Yesterday the box and fuses were re?
placed.
BULKHEAD WASHED AWAY.
The dashing waves of Friday beat
with such force the bulkhead In
front of the Virginia Bay Club, at
Ocean View, that it was finally car?
ried away, together with a foot or two
of tiie bank behind it. The damage
also extended to (he bulkhead of the
two cottages immediately north of the
club house. I: is estimated that it will
cost $ir.O or more to repair the dam?
ages.

IMPROVED STRAINS IN SOUTH
WEST VIRGINIA?FOREIGN
SHIPMENTS.
Dr. Charles McCulloch, of Iilacks
burg, State veterinarian, -was in Nor?
folk yesterday. In conversation with a
representative of the Virginian-Pilot
ho stated that he lias just made an
olilclal trip of inspection among the
farms of Southwest Virginia.
He reports that the cattle of that
section are generally in good condition,
in fact, better than usual, as the pas?
tures have been unusually good this
year. The cattle of Southwest Virginia
have been much improved in the past
few years by the- Introduction of the
Polled-Angus strain. This is making
Southwest Virginia a groat beef pro?
ducing section ami its beeves<ire bring?
ing tho highest prices in the foreign
markets. ;
Cattle are now high nnd Dr. McCul?
loch states that they are now bringing
$4.95 per hundred, live weight, on the
farms. Many buyers are now looking
over the cattle of this section of the
State. The short horn is. however, the
staple breed of that section, where feed
is plenty.
The Chesapeake and Ohio steamers
Chickahomlny and Rappnhannock win
leave Newport News to-day with loads
of cattle. Tho former taken 360 head to
London, England, nnd the latter ?.:,n
bond to Liverpool, or these cattle 175
head are from Kentucky arid the others
are from Chicago.

already stated In the Virginian-Pilot.
Mr. W. H. Sargcatit, .lr.. Mr. John
Whitchead and Mr. M. J. Lyons have
been actively at work for sometime
past to secure the nomination. Mr. M.
B. Cooke, one of the present Delegates,
lias been spoken of as n candidate, but
it Is now said that he will not enter
the rice. Mr. J. Frank East has alsa
withdrawn.
Mr. .lames R. Heath, .Tt"-. has been
spoken of as a candidate. We has made
no announcement, but his friends have
urged him to run. Mr. Heath is an en?
thusiastic Tyler man and it is believed
he would have been in the race with?
out a doubt if the Democratic Exec?
utive Committee had called a primary.
Mr. Heath, it will be remembered, ap?
peared before the committee and offer?
ed to guarantee one-half of the expense
of a primary if the committee would
call it.
A Meli Known Ai ll?l'? Niircf??,
Of Mrs. Emlle Chase Lasar, formerly,
for several months a resident of
'-Norfolk, and her work, the Dally

yet. appeared in Gorham.
Prof. Hunt has also recently pur?
chased two other paintings of Mrs.
Lasar, perfect gems of art, namely,
"The Three Pates" and "Psyche."
Miss l?isar painted <(iiite a number
of fine portraits while here a year or

mentioned above were exhibited here.

LUMBER ADVANCED.
BY THE NORTH CAROLINA PINE

North Carolina rough pine lumber
lias again been advanced over the list
of March 4th last. The advance was
made by tie- North Carolina Pino Lum?
ber Association, of which Captain John
L. Roper, of tiie Roper Lumber Com?
pany, is president.
Three weeks ago the Virginian-Pilot
published an account the advance
of S- per thousand f- ? t in dress d
lumber, and tit that time i; was stated

ity of the North Carolina and Virginia
mills. The prices on all classes of lum?
ber have been stiff since the beginning
of the year. There Is Borne foreign In?
quiry for kiln-dried North Carolina
pine, and tile shipments North by wate:'
are very heavy. It is said that the ma?
jority of the North Carolina .and Vir?
ginia mills have oversold their pin
duct.
