GOOD SIDEWALKS.
The Question Is Again Being Agi?
tated in Norfolk.
Tho l'nviiisr Onlliinnco anil (ho Antli?
orliy It Confer*-The City Alloruvr
A wilt* the Doclnion or Judvv
1>rontin. of city circuit Court.
The agitation of the question of good
sidewalks has begun again. The ques?
tion Is becoming livelier every day,
though city olllclals say It has never
died out completely since it was agi?
tated In 189C. At that time a large
number of the most prominent citizens
of Norfolk signed a petition to the
Councils asking that the city pave and
keep In repair the 6ldewalks, at Its own
expense, Instead of requiring lot own?
ers to Individually pave In front of their
property. The present ordinance, un?
der fire in the Circuit tourt as to its
j validity, is not enforced with any de?
gree of strictness, and many maintain
that It cannot be enforced, and that the
city will never have good sidewalks un?
til they are constructed by the city out
of the general tax fund, or a special tax
is levied for that purpose.
THIS PAVING ORDINANCE*.
The ordinance Is as follows:
"The owner, or occupant, of any
house or lot fronting on any street
shall, at his own expense, or at the
charge of his landlord, keep in good re?
pair, with good paving brick or stone
slabs, so much of the sidewalk as shall
front the building and lot of ground be?
longing to him or In his possession.
The inspector of streets shall direct
such repairs to be made whenever ne?
cessary, and if any such owner, or oc
cupaYit, ?shall fail to make such repairs,
after having received ten days' notice
so to do, the person so falling shall pay
a fine of JS for each day, and after the
expiration of ten days. If the repairs
shall not have been made by the owner,
or occupant, It shall be the duty of the
Inspector to cause the-repalra to be
made, on account of such owner, or oc?
cupant, and forthwith collect from the
person liable the cost of such repairs
and pay tho amount to the person who
did the work, and the Inspector of
streets Is empowered to collect the said
amount by distraint, or by warrnnt In
the name of the city."
STREET INSPECTORS' DISCRETION
This Is sweeping enough, but It was
never expected that It would be carried
out literally, It seems. There are hun?
dreds of lots, many of which are in
the central portion of the city. In front
of which there Is no sidewalk pavement.
The enforcement of the ordinance
dueled above Is left entirely to the
Street Inspector, and he uses his own
discretion eis to what sidewalks need
repairing and where pavements should
be put down.
CITY ATTORNEY'S INTENTION.
The validity of the ordinance having
beeu questioned, It Is now the intention
of the City Attorney to determine,
once for all, whether or not the law is
valid. Therefore, as soon as Judge
Prentls renders a decision In the test
case now before him, It Is probable
that the case wlU 'be carried to the
Court of Appeals.-'no matter which side
wins In the lower courts. Hut even if
the ordinance Is finally upheld there Is
a probability that rin effort will be
made to n p ?al It and enact In Its stead
a law providing thaj hereafter the city
shall lay and keep in repair all side?
walks.
THE 1S!)G ORDINANCE.
The ordinance before the Councils in
isnc required that the owner of a lot
; b ar half the original expense of laying
the pavement In front of his property,
and thnt the city bear the Other half
and keep it In repair thereafter.
It was estimated at that time that
such an ordinance would necessitate a
lax of fi cents on $100 of properly. The
proposition was In the hands of the
Finance Committee when the Council
men's term expired, and the new Coun?
cils never took the matter up.
Appointed Worse Underwriter's
Agent.
Mr. Charles M. Barnett, with Castner,
Curran & Bullett, Norfolk office, has
been nppolnted by Mr. Ove Lange, of
New York, nvs sub-agent for the Eight

Two of tho companies or clubs have
home quarters at Bergen, two at Dram
men and one each at Grlmstad, Pors

pliment, and one that shipmasters from

FLORENCE CRITTENTON HOME.
INSPECTED BY THE PUBLIC YES?
TERDAY"?DONATIONS.
The Florence Crlttenton Home was
thrown open to the public for the first
time In Its history, from the hours of
10 a. m. to 1 p. m. yesterday, and the
visitors were afforded an opportunity
of witnessing- some of the results of th s
institution. Inaugurated here seven
years ago "by the Christian wemen of
Norfolk, who have given their time and
services for the uplifting of their fall?
en sisters to lives of purity.
The visitors, quite a number, went
through every department of the Home,
and were most favorably impressed
with what has been accomplished
since the establishment of this place
for the rescue of those for whom the
world has only a sneer because of their
unfortunate and unhappy condition.
One visitor, a gentleman who has al?
ready contributed liberally to the In?
stitution, on seeing the demands upon
its rapacity, 'offered "to give S100 dollars
toward a movement looking to the en?
largement cf the home.
Exerythlng In the home was arrang?
ed- with neatness and In the most sys?
tematic manner, with modern conven?
iences. The entire four floors are de?
voted to the purpose of furnishing a
home-life to the unf rtunate whi takes
shelter under Its roof. A description of
the var ious npartm nts hns already ap?
peared in these columns.
There were a number of contribu?
tions yesterday to the home, among
them several hams and two barrels of
flour, for which the managers are very
grateful.
Donations may be made to the home
at any time, and no better tlfne for
extending help to this great work of
charity can be selected than the Christ?
mas holidays.
WHEN WINTER BEGAN.
THAT IS, ACCORDING TO THE
CALENDAR. .
The time between the rising sun and
the setting sun has been gradually
dwindling for months past until yester?
day, which was the shortest day In. the
year. It was a\so, properly speaking,
tho first day of winter, although tht
whole of December Is regarded as a
winter month.
Yesterday the sun, in its southern
course, was at its most distant point
from the equator, and cast Its light
upon us in a slant. From that time on
it will begin to approach us until, on
June 21, the longest day In the year,
it will attain Its highest point north of
the equator. The sun rose yesterday
morning at 7:24 o'clock and set at 4:46
o'clock, making the day Just 0 hours
and 22 minutes long.
A Sailor Accidentally Shot.
Albert Fleming, a white sailor on the
schooner Scarborough, now anchored
in the harbor, was accidentally shot by
another member of the crew about 5:30
o'clock yesterday afternoon. The wound
was Inflicted by a ball from a 32-callbre
pistol. The party handling [X was shoot?
ing nt^another object and the bullet
glanced, striking Fleming In the bnek.
The wounded man was attended by Dr.
C. A. Saunders, after which-he wns
sent to St. Vincent's Hospltnl. From
the partial examination made It was
impossible to say whether the man Is
seriously Injured or not. It wns slated
that there are three courses that the
ball could have taken, two of which
might prove fatal.
Plans for Hospital.
The designs for the new hospital to
be erected at Richmond, the Charlotte
Williams Memorial Hospital, will be
submitted to the building committee on
the 30th Instant, and the award will be
made about the middle of January. Mr.
J. K. Peebles, of this city. Is one of- the
architects who was Invited to submit
plans. For the second and third best
there nre nrlzes of S750 and S-IOO, re?
spectively. The nrchltcct whose design
Is selected will get the usual 5 per cent,
commission for superintending the con?
struction.

The obsequies of this gentleman,
whose death occurred "Wednesday after
a briet illness, wero held from his late
residence, No. 3 Loe street. Muntern
vllle. at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
and were attended by members of
Washington Lodge No. 2. I. O. O. F.
The services were conducted by Rev.
Edward Mack. D. D., of the First Pres?
byterian Church. The interment was in
Elmwood Cemetery. The pall-bearers
were selected from friends 'of the de?
ceased and the Odd Fellows, of which
he was a member.
Quick Trip by Sail and steam.
The steamship Princess Anne, of the
Old Dominion line, beat her schedulo
from New York to Norfolk by several
hours, arriving yesterday before 10
o'clock at her pier, the run from the
Cape being made at a.twenty-knot clip.
This is considered fast traveling.
The schooner Tcna A. Cotton, Captain
McElwce, made the trip from New
York to this port last week, starting at
10 a. in. ot one day nnd reaching Nor?
folk at 3 p. m. the next, which was also

CHURCH ENTERTAINMENTS.
REV. R, H. BENNETT PREACHES
A SERMON.
A Richmond dispatch of yesterday
says:
"Rev. R. H. Bennett, Dastor of St:
James' Methodist Church, last night
preached a sermon on the subject of
church entertainment, In the course of
which he strongly condemned the pres?
ent method and manner of raising
funds for churches. He read a news?
paper article In which some of the
various kinds of entertainments were
mentioned, running the gamut from
sacred music to skirt dancing, and
prize-fighting. Mr. Bennett contended
that It was lowering the standard of
the church by appealing to sinners and
scoffers to come and contribute to the
cause of Christianity and be enter?
tained. He argued that any form of
attraction for the .benefit of the church,
no matter when or where held, should
be free to all to come and partake; he
had rather see a church go under the
auctioneer's hammer than to see tickets
of admission demnnded at the door.
Mr. Bennett declared that were per-j
sons who give for church entertain?
ments, suppers, etc., to count the cost
and give one-half In cash, the amount
raised for church purposes would be
about double what they are at present.
There are a great many of the mem?
bers of Mr. Bennett's church who do
not agree with him. and It Is predicted
that there will be a split on the ques?
tion." ?
Coping About tho Monument. ^
The contractors are engaged In
placing the coping stone around the
Confederate monument nt the head of
Commercial avenue The first corner,
that at the southwest base of the mon?
ument, is in place, and most of tho re?
maining stone is on the ground.
This coping Is set three feet from tho
threo-step base of the main monument,
and curves inward from the level of the
street paving, which, with the circular
corners, will prevent wagon wheels
from chipping and defacing the base.
Tills will complete the monument to the
medallion face. The bronze medallion
of tho seal of the Confederacy has been
adopted as to design, and ordered, and
Is expected to soon be shipped here for
placing In position. The next move will
be the bronze figures on the column,
and when the four figures on the side
pedestals are added Norfolk will have
a monument to be proud of.
Work of Hall Thieves.
Hall thieves are plying their voca?
tion In the northeastern section of the
city. Tuesday night the residence of
?Rev. S. C. Hatcher, No. 107 Wood
street, was entered between midnight
and daybreak by a burglar through
the front window, end an overcoat
that was hanging on the ha track In
the hallway carried away. Wednesday
night Mr. Hatcher came hofhe about
9 o'clock and placed his bicycle on his
front porch, where he usually leaves
It until time to retire for the night.
Fifteen minutes Inter he went to the
porch for the purpose of taking the
wheel into the house and found It
had been stolen. He reported the
theft at police headquarters, ond was
Informed yesterday that It, had been
recovered.
Christmas Wook with tho Courts.
Two lawyers asked Judge Htinckcl
yesterday to sit In the Corporation
Court the day after Christmas and hear
them argue a casj which Is rending In
that court. The Judge is obliging and
willing to make sacrifices, but he 'old
the lawyers that ?. Judge who would
hold court Christmas week ought to be
impeached.
Of roursi?, Judge Hanckel didn't mean
this 1 terally. for he will probn ly irans
act some matters In chambers during
next week. This court, as weil as Hie
Court of Law and Chancery, will be
closed next week.
