Possessions or A TINE -HONORED FAMILY.
1t often happens that in his search for items
OF interest the news-gaiberer gets hold OF
something which, though he may consider
OF little value, Is yet widely read and dis
cussed. such seems to have been the case
with a short paragraph which we chanced
to write few months since respecting a
certain piece Of property which had been In
one family and held by one OF the name ever
since IT was taken up by the original grant
or. Some one then came forward to show
us another resembling 1t in all respects save
that it descended to the present. holder
through the female branch OF the family.
The most remarkable OF all we have now to
narrate.
DR.. Carter w. Wormeley, Of "Manakin
Lodge" brought into our office on yeSter-
day a plat OF 1880 acres OF land on the
Pamunkey river, IN King William county.
" hich was made June 2G, 1G9i-nearly two
hundred years ago. The writing is per-
fectIy legible. and the shading OF The lines
nearly aS distinct as when first made. The
survey was made by edwin Thacker, sur
yeyOr,' and was addressed TO " Secretary
W0rmelcv," who vas at that time Secretary
to the Colonial Council. One Thousand
acres Of this property l. now held by DR..
Wormelcv. VINO i the great -gtelt-grandSOn
Of Secretary WOrmeey. to whom the grant
was originally made by Charles the Second.
King Of England. The property has never
been held in any other name. The portion
on which DR.. Wormeley resides is prlt
down on The plat H. "Indiln Fields" by
reason OF the fact that it was the seat or
h.adquarterS OF the then chief Of the Pa
munkey tribe OF Indians.
D?. Woraeley's grandfather was Ralph
Wormeley, OF ROseGlll," MiddleseX coun-
ty, who was a graduate OF Oxford College.
England, and was called "The Scholar y
from his great learning. He was mentioned
bv Writ in hi life OF Patrick Henry. y
portrait of him painted by SIR Joshua
REYNOLDS row adOrns the walls OF his fam
IIy-seit in Middle-eX.
Tire residence on "The Quarters in
King William, the farm now owned by Dr..
WOrmelcy, was built by RalPh WOrm"ley
more than a century ago for summer rest
dencc. TO thi, place he brought his family
during The hot months OF summer, when II
had become too sickly for them 10 remlin IN
MlddleSeX. The property is twenty miles
from Richmond. and about Pqui-dstani be-
tween the X chmond, York River aud CheS-
apeake railroad and the proposed route Of
the eastern DfducH Oh the tucsiptdh' hou
Ob'O railway.
There are probably no more fruitful fields
for the hunters OF Indian relics than this
portion OF our State. There are many
known sites Of towns aud villages built tand
occupied by the indians. and tradition
points 10 many more. With abundance OF
water teeming with fish and wild fowls, and
woods in which rolmcd the deer and other
animals, no better place for camping
geound for the red MN could be found

with it, bright and gltterln2 surface The

"~hOOting-Stars." "


"ThiS electrical phenomenon was ob-
served on Wednes day morning last at Rich
mond and it, vicinity in manner that
alarmed many and aStoni,hed every person
who behcid it. From until 3 In the morn
ing those starry me'eorS seemed 10 fall from
every point in the heavens in such numbers
as TO resemble a shower OF >ky.rockets. The
inhabitants happened at the same hour TO
be called from their houses by the iire.bell,
which WAS run9 on account Of fire that
broke out i'm one Of the rooms OF the Ar
mourv, but which was speedily eYtln-
guisned Every one. therefore, had IN
oDDOrtUnitv OF witnessing scene OF ma
ture which never before was displayed
in this part OF the Globe, aud which proba-
bly will never appear again. Several Of
those shooting meieOrs were accompanied
with a tram Of fire that illuminated the sky
for considerable distance. One m partlc-
ular appeared To fail from the zenith OF the
apparent SIZE Of ball OF eighteen inches
diameter that lighted for several seconds the
whole hemisphere. During The contlnu-
ance OF this remarkable phenomenon abl>>.
ing noise in tie air was plainly heard, ana
several report, resembling the discharge OF
a pistol. Had the city bell not been ring
ng these reports would probably have
seemed mach louder. The sky was re-
markably clear ana serene, and The visible
fixed stars Humorous the whole night.
We are anxious 10 know at Wnat
distance from Richmond this phe-
nomenon ha, extended. IL Is hoped
that persons NhO have remarked 1t
i'm other places will not neglect 10 inform
The pnJlic Of the particulars, is such IN
formation NAV add in a great degree 10 the
knowledge OF meteorology. Since writing
the above we have been informed that seve-
raj Of the largest Of these shooting meteorN
were observed to descend almost 10 the
ground before they exploded. Indeed,
many OF those which we saw appclfed 10
approach within few yards OF the house
tops. and then suddenly 10 vanish. some

shooting stars descending within snort
distance OF the ground is, however, TACT
htcbly important 10 be- known, a. It has
been generally supposed that meteofs only
proceed i'm 4 horizontal direction, and never

The meteOric shower OF 1888 l. yet re-
called with animation BY many survivors in
our midst who observed that remarkable
phenomenon. IL occurred on Friday night.
November II. 1888, between the hours Of III
and II O'Clock. For the details Of the same
we refer the curious TO the extended ac-
counts published in the Richmond Enquirer
OF November lj and 49,. 1888.
There was. however, as our present pub
lication exhibits. a preceding meteorological
visitation even more wonderful than that OF
1888, OF which the tradition appears to have
been obiterlted by the lapse OF some seven
ty.eight years.

Editors Of the Dispatch:
Gentlemen. About the 10Th Of April,
1903, a remarkable shower Of meteors was
seen III Richmond, Va, and am very anx-
iOus to learn il some full account Of the
phenomenon was published IN Richmond
paper within four weeks after that date.
do not know what papers were published in
Richmond at that time, and so have yen-
tured TO write TO you to ask il you can in
form me whether there is in Richmond at
present file Of any paper published IN
April or May. 1903.
am preparing paper on the progress OF
meteorc astronomy in America, and 6nd
great difficulty in obtaining any Satisiac,o Dry
data IN regard 10 that meteoric shower,
which was not only the first ever seen in
this country, but it was probably one OF the
most remarkable eXbibilions OF such phe.
nOmena. Very respectfully,

How the Southern Pacids and
She 0Ould People Dasy the
lrnfchets
The following is said to be the basis OF
settlement between the Southern Pacific
and Gould lines Of railroad, which make
the through connection by the southern
route from San Francisco to New Orleans.
The extract Ia taken from . spirited inter-
view with ono Of the counsel for tho Texas
Pacific:
The charter OF the Texas Pacific road
authorizes 1t to make arrangements with
any other roads. In consideration OF its
releasing all claims to the lines Of the
road constructed by the Southern Pacific
party in New Mexico and Arizona, and
forever terminating that dispute. the
Southern Pacific Company agrees, and
this agreement Ia TO be embodied In the
decree OF the Court, that the Southern
Pacific and Its connections and the Texas
Pacific and its connections for the
Huntington and Gould lines) shall be
operated In perpetuity so far as the com.
panies, Government and public are con-
cerned. as one through. continuous line
from the Pacific to the Mississippi. with
out discrimination in favor or against the
roads OF either party. or any Of them, and
| that the charges OF transportation on this
| line between the Mississippi and San Fran
cisco and all competing points shall be at
| all times as low a. by any other route. This
| gives the public the immediate benefit Of .
| through trunk line on Southern parallel
| OF latitude, which is owned by strong COM
panies, whose interest 1t will be to maintain
good roads and to render good service. and
| who have the ability to carry this into
effect Because OF the agreement that the
| business shall be done at as low rate as by
| any other line, it will be for the interest
| of the parties to get as much business as
possible and the competition will benefit
the public. As the line penetratea region
not reached by other lines, no other OF the
Pacific roads will be damaged. and at the
same time the public will be accommodated.
The Southern Pacific, through its own con-
nections and through its connection with
the Texas Pacific and Gould's roads. is in
tended to reach more the southern portions
| OF the country, while the Northern and
Union Pacific roads meets more the wants
| OF the central and northern sections. Con-
gress provided, in chartering the Pacific
roads, that they should all be operated as
one continuous line, and the agreement
now made adopts this very act Of Congress.
Each road 10 to do one-half Of the busi-
ness TO New Orleans and 70 receive one
half OF the earnings. A similar arrange.
ment, though based on somewhat differ
ent proportion OF business and earnings, ID
made with respect TO Galveston.
The advantages to both roads. the coun-
sci thought, were In the doing away with
wasteful expenditure OF money In con.
structing unnecessary roads and the sub
stitution OF an alliance Of mutual interest
for an improbable hostility. The public
would be benefited by having one strong
would necessarily be weakened by each
other.
