I Mr. Patrick McDonough, a well . known saloon keeper of this city, had a narrow escape from death yesterday : while duck hunting down the river ??'with a party of friends. R They were exploring a marsh when J,Mr. McDonough became separated . from the others and was soon hopeless ; ly lost. While wandering about he veitepped into a quagmire and sunk so deeply that he was unable to extricate himself. He remained In that situation until P he was almost frozen to death. For? tunately, before It was Uoo late, his ?-,-friends, who had been searching for him, found him. He was brought home, and is rapidly recovering from his un l pleasant experience. A HOPELESS SNARL. The City Council, the street railways and the Southern Bell Telephone Cotn pan y are In a hopeless snarl here, and no man can foresee the end of it all. The Bell Company is operating here without a franchise, and by virtue of proceedings now pending in the Su? preme Court of the United States. THE STREET CAR PROBLEM. As to the street car problem, it Is doubtful If any man understands It. There Is a fight on between the two '^Companies, and the Council Is divided . on almost every question that comes up. The public hope that the active com? petition between the two lines will re? sult in lowering of prices. The various enterprises of which ^President. John Skelton Williams' of the Seaboard Ah" Line, is president, of < which the Traction Street Railway ; Company Is one, have been of vast benefit to Richmond, and when the above mentioned contests are settled .'-the city will have more conveniences than almost any other of its size. GUBERNATORIAL HONORS. 1 By far the most spirited and hotly contested battle for Gubernatorial honors that has taken place in Virginia ? for many years is just now beginning /TO?attract?Hw?unrlotis?attention_uf_ ''.Democratic lenders, and Immediately after the holidays it promises to take 'the Aral place among the multitude of public matters that will crowd the .'political arena dining tho coming year. Attorney-General Montague and Con? gressman Swanson are everywhere looked upon as the leading candidates, and It is between these two young aspirants and their friends that the hat tie will rage fiercest. They are both On the alert for votes and are leaving no atone unturned to secure the good will of the Democratic electors of the ?State. Both hail from the same Con? cessional district and the struggle be? tween them Is made all the more inter eating for that reason. The friends of Lieutenant-Governor : Eehols say that, in the event of a long drawn-out controversy In tin- conven? tion, the Valley statesman would have an admirable chance to capture the plum; as they believe he is looked upon with much favor throughout the state. The friends of Messrs. Hllyson and Marshall are not discouraged at the outlook for their favorites and express lithe belief that each stand a good chance. SECRETARY LAWLESS PLEASED. ??? "Secretary Joseph T. Lawless is in re? ceipt of many letters from friends in ?different sections of the State express log their pleasure at his announcement ;pf his candidacy for chairman of the .;)3iate Democratic Committee next year, and pledging him their loyal support .for the position.

FRANKTOWN. MR. TANKARD ILT,? CONSTITU? TIONAL LEGISLATION. (Special to Virginian-Pilot.) Franktown, Va., Dec. 22.?Since the last notes from this section the Metho? dist conference has met and reappolnt ed Rev. George H. Ray, D. D., to the pastorate here. Dr. Ray is a faithful and unwearied laborer In the Church and has a strong liold upon the people of. the Eastern Shore. Rev. Alessrs. Blankenship and Barrett have also been returned to their respective charges to the great gratification of their people ut Capeville and Cape Charles City. Rev. Jos. E. Potts, takes the place of Rev. Whit more and Rev. Mr. Wlnn that of Rev. W. J. Twittcy, both or whom have been kindly received by their people. They live in Accomac and preach in parts of Northampton, so that there are live Methodist ministers who preach regularly in the county. There ure about 1,311 Methodists In Northampton, or nearly 10 per cent, of the entire population. These are com? municants and represent close on to one-hnlf of the entire population of the county. MR. JNO. W. TANKARD. Tills gentleman, who has been in? fluential In the county for more than three-fourths of a century, is quite 111 at the residence of his son-in-law, Mr. J. H. Roberts.

He is eminent both in character and culture and is well-beloved in both these coun? ties. Mr. Tankard's friends are anx? iously awaiting the outcome of tills sickness. CONSTITUTIONAL LEGISLATION. Our skillful and accomplished mem? ber of the Virginia House of Delegates, who resides In this town, is preparing to go to Richmond to the approaching extra session of the Legislature. There is no more active and Indus? trious representative than Hon. John E. Nottingham, of Northampton coun? ty. There is some speculation as to who will be the member of the con? stitutional convention from Northamp? ton. Some favor Judge Kendall, while others think of that talented young lawyer. Mr. Otlio Mears: but others think that Hon. John E. Nottingham is as safe a man as any in the county. He favors a division of the school lax, so that It may be seen how much the black man pays to the education of his children, and that all taxable colored people should be made to pay a tax for the education of that race. He also thinks there should be an educational and property qualification to the fran? chise. If the negroes were eliminated from politics bo would gravitate to his true position In his relation to the Anglo Saxons: and there would be fewer nameless crimes and consequently fewer lynchings, both North and South.

Walter Jolinnon Will Accopt Chair? manship of Nanscmond Count- Demo oratio Committee?Seventy-fifth Hlrtli day Celebrated?Another New Enter? prise?Uro Vitien. Suffolk, Va., Dec. 22.?Informnitlon conies from a reliable source in Isle of Wight county tonight that the oyster men propose to make of the recent celebrated oyster cases a more perma? nent issue than the mere gullit or In? nocence of the accused, who were charged with oyster piracy, or express? ed differently, petit larceny. Now that Claude Tennis has been ac? quitted the State has announced Iks in? tention of trying the cases ond by one till a conviction shall have been se? cured. The oystermen's future course may depend on whether any of the others be found guilty. If they be found guilty the cases will likely go to the Court of Appeals, for with that end in view a stenographic record of the trial has been kept, and It Is said to be In excellent shape. Should none of the oystermen be convicted they may still carry the matter to the legislature, for the late Hay lor survey Is said to be very unsatisfactory, and those who live by taking oysters from the river would love to see what they might call a more equitable settle? ment. . ALLEGED BAYLOR ERRORS. It Is claimed that the Baylor survey takes in grounds which should be and are natural rocks. The defense at the late trial wanted to prove that the county commissioners had Indicated to Baylor 'that certain grounds should have been excluded, but were not. PREPARED TO FIGHT. So vital is the question regarded by the oystermen that they are ready to raise lots of money in the aggregate to have the matter tlxed to their liking, Which they think would be equitable. During the lute trial they had no trou? ble in raising money for the lawyers and stenographer, and they are ready to spend more when they consider their rights are at stake. Besides the llfty-seven oystermen ac? cused of piracy or larceny, there are nineteen others charged with culling, making a total of seventy-six who have issues at heart. MR. JORDAN WILL ACCEPT. Hon. Wuiter Jordan has decided to accept the chairmanship proffered by the Nansemond county Democratic executive committee, without a dis? senting voice.

Mr. Jordan has received assur? ances from members of each so-called faction that he is very acceptable. Mr. Jordan realizes the responsibility whlnh the acceptance means, and will go into the leadership feeling that his actions will be supported by Democrats, no matter whether or not their affiliations have previously been factional. He proposes to act fairly and will not sub? jugate the office for personal ends. SEVENTY-FIVE YEARS OLD.

She laughed when 'the worldly laugh? ed. She sighed with the world when the worldly sighed, And chaffed when the worldly chaff? ed, Yet the joys she derived from the worldly Were Joys that were not of the real. And the sorrow she expressed for tho worldly Was a sorrow she did not feel. Her innermost thoughts lie far beyond. Beyond all worldly love; Thoughts as pure as the whispering winds That waft gently over the moors. A silent ami mystical voice had called Afar from the regions above; It spoke of the shallowness of worldly things, And the depth of a heavenly love. I As she lis>t to the ethereal murmur Ings She struggled as one enthralled, But her struggles were vain. The voice had spoken, She must obey Its call. Now she dwells no more with the worldly. All worldly thoughts have flown, Her thoughts now dwell with the holy; She dwells with that voice alone. THE MUSTARD BATH. Better than Drugs for Breaking Up a Cold. When baby comes in from the winter playtime, sneezing and coughing and showing various Indications of having caught cold, leave the usual drugs and try a mustard bath for warding off future trouble. Tie two lablespoonfuls of ground mustard In a small pf"> e o( cheese cloth, and put It in a tubful of water as hot as one can comfortably bear. Rub thoroughly afterward, and get the patient to bed as soon as pos? sible, to guard against more cold. This p an of taking a mustard bath when the usual Indications of a severe cold present themselves. Is equally good for adults, but It Is especially recom? mended tor the little tots, who so often expose themselves thoughtlessly dur? ing playtime, and who should not be ?IERCES FAVORITE FOR WEAK WOMEN.

Oct. 11.?Prom all re? ports?and they are from the most trustworthy sources?the Dabncy Oil Company's No. 7 is the largest and most profuse and persistent gusher in the McKlttrlck district. "Were I to tell you the exact truth nnd what I saw with my own eyes, you would not believe me," said W. M. Spencer, gen | oral superintendent of the Eldorado Company, from which tho Dabncy Company leased their land. "The oil came boiling over the casing," cau? tiously continued Mr. Spencer, "like D great head of artesian water. It was a most amazing sight." Driller McCay, who thought he had drilled the most productive well for the company, wired to Tim Spellacy that th<- Gallagher well was going 2,000 barrels. McCay would not have sent the message, the boys declare, unless he thought the well was doing that much, for he did not like Driller Gallagher to get ahead of him. Wednesday morning the work of per? forating the well began. The boh." Is &0T> feet deep, with ll.'.O feet of sand. It was full of water, and by the time three joints of the casing were punched, tip came the water like a charge from a gun. followed by the oil, and thus It goes.

They are Just preparing to start boring on their first well, and It Is predicted by oil men here who ought to know, that this will prove to be one of the most valuable lease-holds In the county. The location of the land and the suc? cess of the adjoining properties seem to make their holding gilt-edged. The latest strike near the Company's land, which has helped to make the district famous, was made by the Kern River Oil Co., whose well No. 1 is producing 3,000 barrels per day.
