MR, DUG WINS IT

COUNCIL STICKS TO HIM.
lie Was Represented by Colonel Tabb ami
Mr, Arthur Se^ar. Mr Causey Ai?
p.'iirs for Objectors. Will
Build at Oner.
The council met at S o'clock last night
?and again n,uk up the railroaid question.
By a voteoi five to one?the latt.r b-ing
eas; by Coundilmun George Wray Book
ti.r?that portion of the Darling- ordi?
nance ref. mring to the use of King street
from the Od Dominion d'ock to Queen
street, was repealed, leaving Mr. Dar?
ling in possession -,f the street from
ijiK- n to D.r.c jln, the northern bound?
ary of the town. This action will prove
as unpopular as that at first taken. Mr.
Darling, it is saM, will begin werk at
The pmoperty owners em King stteet,
ibetw en Court and trie Old Dominion
whanf, who desir.. the repeal of the
franchise granted by- the council t-> Mr.
Darting on the night of January 6, wete
represented by Mr. Ftun.is F. Causey,
who laid before the cgunrtCmen a p ti
tion setting C. rth their objections. Mr.
Causey then addressed! the body. He
argued that u railaood' on King street,
which is only 27 feet wide, one of th
narrowest thorougfarc-s in tho town,
wou.'d not only seriously interfere with
ordinary traffic, but endang-:r the lives
of hundreds of people. Queen street, h
said, is very diffciier.'t from King. The
former is a business streut, while the
Inner is lined with residences. Mr.
?Causey mentioned many other reasons
in support of the prayer of h'is clients
foil the revocation of the hastily enucted
ordinance' of January 6 and warmCy
; resseti them upon the attention of the
CO unc ihnen.
He was followed by Colonel Tabb.
wtucfi, with Mr. Arthur Stegar, repre?
sented Mr. Darling. Th- Colonet's
speech was brief. Hi- simply stated'Iris
client's original franchise for the use of
th,- streets of Htunpton cover d King
strict from its in totste lion with Curt
to the town limits. That, he elaime-d.
the council had no control over what?
ever. IHe cons iel -red It the duty of the
citizen 10 su-trender his personal con?
venience- for Uho good of the many, and
hence, as Mr. Darling's enterprise will
'benefit the numerous residents of the
East End1, it should be allowed to pro
eeeUi Without objection. Colon 1 Tabb
.then state! that if the council would
grunt Mr. Darling the right of wiy over
the block, not inc'udtd in his original
franchise, lying between Court and
Queen streets, he had n-i obj._- tion '-o
granting the request of the petitioners
represented by Mr. Causey.
Mr. ?ogarr, however, took a dirt tent
view of the matter. He declared th*t
the people in the East End wmt a strs-p.l
railwuy. and that if they cannot g. t
ei'ectric cars, they want horse cars, and
if they are not obtainable they t:e w.Il
ing to make out with cars drawn by a
mule or a steer. But he was oppose i to
toking action at that Um-, and asked
that the question be postponed' until the
next meeting unless Mr. Causey would
consent to yield the block between
Court an i Qu.vn streets.
Mr. Causey 'was not at first willing to
do this and heagain addu-essed the coun?
cil, reminding the- members that their
former action had been, unnecessarily
hasty und that the town .vas all agog
over it.
'lDo you think a majority of the peo
p.'e are opposed to the otdinance?" ask?
ed Mr. Whiting.
"l do," was the reply.
"Wh re doycu get your information?"
inquired Mr. Whiting.
"?From the public."
'?'Have th newspapers made any im?
pression upon y-ouu' mini,!1?"
"Perhaps they have," returneUithe at?
torney. "I huve .read some very perti?
nent articles on the subject in the
Press."
There the colloquy ended.
That portion of the- ordinance of Jan?
uary ? relating to the us. of King street
fr..in the t)id Dominion dock was then?
Mr. Cms iy. having consented?repealed,
and Mi.". Darling still has the street from
Queen to the town limits.
FOUR. ODD THIEVES?.
Robbed five Zo,> Hotel of Beds and Fur?
niture.
The main building of th- bay shore
resort kni.wn us the Zoo, established
last year by Mr. W. H. Towneend, of
Norfolk, was entered night before last
by four men, sutposed to be c-olor. d.
and its contents tumbled', bopsy-turby.
After going through the house and
opening every door, inside and out, the
tihi. ves sei. cted a couple o:' bads, which
they tied together with ropes, four
chairs and a centre table, and curried
th, m to a iplac-e near the- main 'road. It
is pr-cMable that they carried away a
number of smail articles of value, but
that fact has not yet .been ascertained,
and cannot be until Mr. Townsend ar?
rives and looks over 4vis disk.uler..d
house. It Is also likely that the robbers
intended to return and tu-ke a*vay more
of Uhe furniture. Before they had time
to do so. however, their presen-e was
diisoovered and they iieJ, leaving the
beds, chairs and table behind.
Bedford Folkes. an old negro, employ?
ed as night watchman at the old Ful
t. r & Davis establishment, a few hun?
dred ya.tds below t'he Zoo, says that he
saw four men come down tin-.beach to?
ward Tr.wnsemi's house about 9 o'clock.
Flolkes dvoiares that it was lie who
frightened th* thieves away. They
were seen 'by ar.uther man., however,
whose sto: y differs veiry much from thut
told by the watcth.man. Mr. Will?am H.
R?dgens, proprietor of the Bay View
?Hotel, a short d'ist'.mce above Bue-kroe.
says that he was awakened1 at C o'clock
j in t'h,- morning by the loud baaiking of
his elogs. He went to a window and
looked out in time to distinctly see four
men, -who seemed to he negroes, puss
the house1. Thus it will be seen that
there is a difference of five hours be?
tween the statement of Mr. Redgo-rs
and tlhatof Watchman Folk.s. The no?
li i e want to know where the four men
were -turing that time.
White t'he value of the articles taken
from Mr. Townsend's house Is not great,
the circumstances surrounding the rob
betny are regardedi Us very suspicious
and may lead to developments of in
forest to the citizens of that section.
Sargr.-ant Cunningham and' Officer Dies
ti! have the matter tin Charge, iiut have
no; yet succeeded in' Identifying the
thieves.
M'R CURTIS' Bit KCl 'ARS.
An Inuuder Which Tui ned Out to Ri a
(Mouse.
Among the many clever young men
of Ullis county there Is not one who is
bettter liked in his circle of acquaint -
a no s thun 'Mr. tlOdwin Curtis. Just now,
however, there is not one at whose ex
p< r. ?-? his ffiends are having more fun.
'Rut it must .be said to his erni'it that
he utes their sallies like a true philos?
opher. It happened in tiiis way.
Lust Monday night young Curtis
sluirvd the ho t of U friend named CO: -
bett Druinvmondl brother of the mor
, hant on Rock river. Two or three
hours \w re wthiled' away in pleasant
conversation before they went to sleep.
Before retiring young Drumnu ml had
placed bits revolver within easy > each oif
t'he bed, a precaution, suggested, per
haps, 'by the fact thbt they were steep?
ing over a store. It was past midnight
when Mr. Curtis, who is said to posse.se
the gi'ft of courting the dr-oiwsy god
with one ,;ye. awokv. From the oppo?
site si. iv or the room came a noise?a
noise resembffing that caused by a cau?
tious iiurglar's operations.
In moments of donger men act with
gr.at celerity. That is what Vic. Cub
tis did. Reaching for Mr. Drummond's
weapon, he raised it.over the btdy of his
friend, who, wrapt In serene repose,
knew nothing of the Impending peril,
and. pointing toward1 th spot from
which the mysterious noise came, pulled
t'he trigger. At the first shot Drum
mond was wide awake, at the sec?
ond he was amazed beyond descrip?
tion-, but nt the third. 1). ginning to re
o ,v,?r his pr sence of ml nil', he sprang
from the bid with a shout that would
have aroused a Newport News poll e
man, and. seizing a broom by the han?
dle, demanded' an immediate explana?
tion. Aft' r firing two more shots, Mr.
Curtis, who had- been setting ,-n the bed
with the upper h?ll" of his manly form
ex; osed t-i the sharp night air, put up
tiie gun and asked Mr. Drurmro n.l to
?assist in cartylng out the d-ad and
liying burglars.
When the boys \< arned that a harm?
less little mouse had made the noise
Mr. Drummond laughed1 UnU Mr. Cur?
tis?we'll, let it be supposed that h
laughed, too.
THE MEAT M ATD E THEM SICK.
Strange Illness in the Family .-'f Mr.
Robett Wood.
The family of (Mr. Roljert Wood, an
esteemed citizen of this city, w-re, it is
lehia'bly stated, made ill a few days ago
by eating meat pur-hased from a street
vender. The moat, it is said, was
bought in the evening, but none of the
family, excepting a little girl, partook
of It til: -the following day. During the
r.ight the child became ill. but grew btt
ter before morning. Not suspecting that
it ha 1 mad- the little girj sick the fam?
ily ate of it at dinner, and were soon
as ill as the child had been. Fortunlite
iy they began to mend after an hour or
Wro.
It is not at all probable that any meat
duller in this county would'.*- Ilsuch' food
knowing it to be unfit lor use. The cir?
cumstance, however, empbasiz s the
impcrtunce of some method by Which
articles of food offered for sale can be
inspected. A meat or fruit peddl r, il
thi ugh al<solutely honest, might cause
serious mischief. Mr. Wo- d has lea
son to be thankful that he escaped s )
easily.
WATER FOR TH E EAST ENtD.
Supervisor Richards, m's Good Wotk for
That (Section.
The people of the Enst End owe Su?
perintendent Richardson a vote of
thanks. At the last meeting of the
board ho called the attention of his as?
sociates to the fact that that section is
without protection in case of fire. The lo?
cality is tthiekly built up. and some of
the finest residences outside of the cor?
porate limits aire to be found there.
Mr. Richardson met' Superintendent
Manville. of the Newport News Light
and Water Company, Wednesday and
effected an arrangement by which four
tire plugs will be paced im position in
the 'East End in a few weeks, or as soon
os the mains can be extended. One- will
be located at the corner, near the prop?
erty of Mt. Meyer; onte at the corner
of 'Mailt ry av- wie and Hospital street,
one at Hbltzclaw's corner and one at
(Marshall Burkes' corner.
But for Mr. Richatdson's active inter?
est in 'in-half of the East End p-.o;d.
their pretty houses would have con?
tinued to remain exposed to the ravages
of the fire fiend.

And round and round the sand
Ah far as eye could see.

To her grave beside tho sea,
But still the boatmen hear her call tho cattt?

"IT WAS THAT BOY."
A Story of the Succesa of One of the Wulfe
of the World.
Among the callers at the house of ref?
uge recently was a gentleman whose strik?
ing appeurance would havo attracted at?
tention anywhere. His clean shaven face,
expansive forehead and piercing black eyes
attested tho man of intellectuality, the
small, well kept hands the man of refine?
ment, and his shining silk hat, black
broadcloth suit and white tie his profes?
sion. His urbanity betrayed tho man of
good breeding.
"I am a clergyman from tho south," be?
gan tho stranger as ho entered the boys'
dormitory. "lain fund of visiting insti?
tutions uf this kind. Ah, here's a bright
tittle fellow," he continued as one of the
little ones, less bashful than bis fellows, ap?
proached, and stroking his blond curls tho
suave minister spoke kindly words. Soon
the others crowded about him, and for one
and all ho had a smile. Thus he passed
'rom dormitory to dormitory, from school
cooni to playground, seemingly interested
m everything ho saw anil commenting
upon the excellent provision made fur the
comfort, education and training of tho
waifs rudely tossed on life's ocean who
have found a haven and refuge in an asy?
lum so fittingly named.
At last the workshops were reached, and
entering the large apartment duvotctl to
tho manufacture of shoes the visitor looked
long and silently about him. His glance
at last fell upon an indentation on tho
wall near the ceiling.
"How was that dent uiAder" ho asked
President Thomas, pointing to the wall. |
"That?oh, that," replied Mr. Thomas,
looking at the mark, "was made by a boy
?un inmate?many years ago."
"Tell mo about it."
"Thero isn't much to tell. You see, two
boys were quarreling, and one of them, a
lad of high temper, picked up n heavy tool
and hurled it at his antagonist, The boy's
aim was bail or it might have ended in
murder. That's the dent the tool made."
"And did you punish the boy?"
"Only to the extent that we isolated
him from the others and soon after hail ai\
opportunity of placing him with respect?
able people, who adopted him."
"Of course you never heard of him
again'r"
"I believe not. You so?, It's so mauy
years ago."
"Well, sir, I was that boy."
"You! You!" Mr. Thomas only man?
aged to reiterate, looking at thu card In
bis hand and then ut the man bofuru bini.
"Yes," replied the stranger, smiling.
"I was tlio boy, and from the (lay when I
made that dent in the wall my reformation
began. The people you placed me with,
God bless them, gavo me a liberal educa?
tion. I studied for tho ministry, ami with
his uroce have become loved anil respected
by my people. You may teil my story. It
may point a moral if it does not adorn u
tole. But, of course, my reasons for with?
holding my mime and identity when you
tell it must bo obvious to you."
Mr. Thomas readily acknowledged the
justieo of such a rennest, aud when they
parted it was with a promise on the part
of the clergyman who graduated from the
Cincinnati House of Befuge that he would
revisit tho scones of his childhood.?Cin ?
