AFTER GOLD SEEN IN A DREAM.
There Is lady living near the Seaboard
J Air Line round "house that for live con?
secutive night? dreamed that there was
j a pot of money buried on the side of a
I portion of 'til old trolley which runs
through tho Seaboard Air Line prop?
erty Just side of the round house. She
claims that the spot was revealed to her
and if she would get some one to dig
there she would find the money. She
notified a gentleman of her dream, and
the two went to the place and went to
.work. They had .-uicceeded in digging a
hole large enough to bury a horse and
! cart when the owners of ?the property
made them slop and fill It up. The
Virginian reporter went there yesterday
and saw a nun' .- of boys hanging
around 'the hole uxniously awaiting for
the money to come out of the ground.
The lady is f-till of the opinion to-day
that she could lind the money. It may
be an insane idea, but she does not
speak In a manner which would lead
one to think that she is the least de?
mented. It would do no harm for the
owners of the property to allow her to
have Mift place dtlg and. should she
find money, divide with them.
IT HE IN SOUTH PORTSMOUTH.
Yesterday morning, shortly after 11
o'clock, Officer Shannon discovered the

near the dormer window. He Immedi?
ately went to box 42, which Is on the
corner of Nemey and First streets.
The tiox refused to work. He then
phoned lo tho Independent Engine
house for the engine, and then phoned
the station house. The hook and ladder
?and Virginia both responded. As soon
as the truck arrived a ladder was thrown
up to the roof, and with the aid of an
axe the tire, which was under the
shingles, was reached. It was put out
with a few buckets of water. The en?
gine did not take water. The house i.-i
owned by Mr. We?: Roid's estate, and I?
used as a cook shop by a colored woman.

HARD TO BEAT.
For good order there Is no place that
can be found, with the number of in?
habitants that Portsmouth has. thu
can boast of such good order as we
have. Since Monday last there hns
been bn; two arrests made in the city,
and both of them was on Friday last?
one for disorderly conduct and the o.'ber
for an assault. For four days the police
slate has not been disturbed, except oc?
casionally by a tramp that falls in at
I night for lodging:. But for an occasional
j visitor and the newspaper men wlio ,
drop in ;he officer on duty at the sta?
tion house would find it hard work to I
keep his eyes open.
MUZZLE DOGS.
At a meeting of che Council last Tues?
day night the question of muzzling dogs
was discussed for some time. One mem?
ber thought it would be cruel and thai
wo would be a subject of ridicule of
strangers who come to the city and see
all tlie it'ge mu/.'/l. .1. Another read an
i article on muzzled dogs, claiming i; was
j Injurious. An article in tho Lynn
I (Mas?.) Times of Thursday says that
.1 mad dog bit one o:- two people and
several dogs, and that the Mayor order?
ed gvery dog In the city that goes at
l uge to be muzzled for ninety days. l)->
people in an advanced city like Lynn
look ridiculous because they protect
human life?
BADLY MASHED UP.
Mr. Parkerson, who Is employed by
John Lh Watson, received -a message
yesterday from Gllmerton saying that
ills brother, Mr. W. H. Parkerson, who
lives at Gelmert?n, had been badly
mashed by a pile of lumber falling on
him. It Is thought that he Is injured
Internally. Mr. Parkerson' left In the
afternoon for Gllmerton lo "be with his

Some time during Friday night the
sloop Tlddle-De-Winks, lying in Necly*.
dock, was robbed of a stove and every?
thing in her cabin. There was no one
on board a: the time.
A SLICK BOA'RDEIL
About three weeks ago a young man
giving tho name of Bowie applied at
tho residence of "Mrs. Kate Smith. 136
Henry etreet, for lodging.- The man
was well dressed and claimed that his
home was In Washington, D. C, and
Chat he had ii brother on the Port Nor?
folg KTectrlo Railway. After a good
deal of persuasion Mrs. Smith took
the man In, and he proved himself very
agreeable'to a. good many residents in
that vicinity.
Yesterday morning the lady notified
him that, as lie could not pay his board,
he would have to vacate his room. He
did so, but with him went an overcoat
valued at $f?0, a pair of trousers valued
at $12, and a lot of underwear * which
belonged to a boarder in the house.
The clothes were locked In a closet and
with a raise key the man effected in
entrance. A valuable watch, which be?
longed to the lady's deceased husband,
was also stolen.
There is no clue to whore Bowie went,
hut he silted that he was going to
Philadelphia. He looked to be about 23
years of age, was well dressed, but wore
no overcoat.
Inquiry at the Port Norfolk Railway
office showed that no man by the nunc
of Howie was employed by that com?
pany.
Mrs. Smith is a deserving widow, and
such treatment will do her much harm.
TROUBLE IN THE) CHURCH.
At a regular business meeting of Cal?
vary Baptist Church, Scottsvllle, held
Friday night, the deacons of the church
were asked to resign, no charges being
preferred, but simply for the good of tho
church. The whole trouble seems to be
centered on the resignation of the pas?
tor, Rev. P. S. C. Davis, which was ten?
dered last Sunday at the morning ser?
vice, but which was not accepted, by a
majority vote. It seems to bo the Im?
pression of t'ne majority of the members
that the deacons were Instrumental In
causing Mr. Davis to act In the matter,
and in his absence the weight of the
disapproval feM on the deacons.
Just what tfio~DUtcpme will be cannot
be told until Mr. Davis returns from bis
?trip to Pennsylvania.
