Personal. ~ NE ReSSg ious. Herald OF this
city, in its, issue for this week, speaks as
follows Of General Wickham: ~. fr.f.,.r -.
"For many years we have done what we
could in securing. favors for clergymen,
Sunday-schools, and churches from various
railroad officials OF this city, but have never
known a. more Fooprte eousI and (aecpmmo-
dating gentleman. than General Wiekham,
of The Chesaipoeeake aud Ohio Railroad: Com.
ipany. While ever Watchful of the interests
s.of his great road, the -Generaf=i is never too
busy to eonsidey the claimsi Of & any entef-
prise which promises to. promote, tile moral
or inte pectnal welfare OF his employees OF Of
those living along :the rente his s=road::
One OF the results Of this liberal policy is to
be seen in the increasing numbers Of earn
est Christian workersiin the! employ OF the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Company.
"We have been led to make this reference
to General Wickham by remark made In
our hearing as we came down from Hinton.
A brakeman said of him: General Wick
ham has as kind a heart for poor man as
ever rested in any ones bosom, and he is as
ready to help you build q church or start
Sunday school as il he were preacher
/ -<fIt argues well for the morals OF our
State and city that at the head OF railroad
destined, we think, to become one OF the
grandest on the globe, is gentleman OF so
much public spirit and SO ready to aid every
good word and work"
Messrs. r. L. Watson and E. B. Balm, OF
Petersburg were in the city yesterday.
Robert e. Macomber and other we'll
known citizens, who left for Norfolk last
week to accompany the steam-yacht Nettie
to this city, are yet absent.
The second volume of the Virginia His
torical Papers IS being compiled under the
supervision Of DR.. William P. Palmer, the
able collaboration OF the first volume.

Ice HOUSE CAYED INA THRILLING
SCENE -On Thursday evening Of last week,
while six hands we:o engaged in digging ont
Mr.. JOSEPH W. Mills large ice house. in tho
upper end Of the town, q large slide occurred
catching Mr.. Willis Mills and tramp by the
lame Of Thomas Nolan, from New York, COW
ering them almost entirely over. 1ha ba!anc,
cf tho hands made their escape. 1t WAS about
twenty.four fact from the surface Il the earth to
where the hands were digging. MIR. Mills WAS
covered to the arm pits and MIR. Nolan WAS COM
pletey coveIo], save II few )cks CT his hair.
Mr. dis was hclrcl out by orc cr his sons.
while other parties were engaged in ezlricaing
Nolan. While this WAS going on it was discov-
cred that q very large portion ofdirt had al most
broken loose from above and WAS in the act Of
pouring in upon them, which threatened TO COW
or them all up and suttocste thom to dea.h
The parties who were endeavoring to e1tricate
Nolan seeing this and knowing their lives woIc
in danger made their escape while those at tho
top Of the house who hal been anxiously watch
ing their efforts and praying or tho relief Ct the
stranger, unable 10 behold The sad sight, turned
their Lacks until the worst had passed. 1t WAS
both N exciting and thrilling scono. and has
been equaliCl in this place only by Tho caving
in Ct Tho well in Mr.. Michael McCracken's
wagon yard, ia wbich Mr.. Pollard WAS covered
by sixtcon fest Ct sand ard in which he lost his
!if,. The young man Nolan could look up and
sec his danger, but was as unable to help hin-
sc f as were his fcllow-laborers t. hel him. He
WAS satisfied that bis death would rJll ow the
second slice, and he saw no hope Of averting it.
The second slide came burying him to the depth
Ct some two feet. AS quick as thought the en-
tire party Went TO work 10 dig tho dirt away
from him before h, sur csted. In few mo-
ments it was rtmo owed sufficiently To allow him to
