THE RICHMOND AND DANyILLE'5 NEW
CoNNEcTIoN.-Th Councils of Norfolk
city Saturday night leased TO the Chowan
and Southern Railroad valuable wharf prop
erty in that city for Q period ofthirty years
from July l, 1889, and upon prescribed con-
ditions, at nominal figure, aud gave the
company the right TO purchase during the
term, or at the expiration Of the lease, for
one hundred thousand dollars. The COM
pany has also secured options Of adjoining
property, which gives it four hundred feet
water front The object of the councils in
taking the lease upon terms exceedingly lib.
eral is to induce the Richmond and Dan
vile system and the Atlantic Coast Line to
make this Norfolk deep water terminus.
The Chowan and Southern Railroad was
chartered by the legislatures OF Virginia and
North Carolina upon very liberal terms,
giving it the right to run from Norfolk to
Raleigh by way OF Rocky Mount and Tar
boro, n. G. Twenty five miles of the road
has been graded ard furnished with ties.
The Atlantic Coast Line is now constructing
g line and has one in operation, from Tar
boro' to Raleigh, where it meets the Rich
mond and Danville system. While the lease
is in the name cf the Chowan and Southern,
it is made dependent upon traffic contract
or consolidation of that road with the AT
lantic Coast line and the Richmond and
Danvile, or the West Point Terminal Com
pany. Mr.. Walters, vice president and ger
eral manager of the Coast Line, and Reuben
Foster, of the York River Line, represent
ing President Scott, of the Richmond and
Danvile, conducted the negotiations with
the Chowan and Southern. They have also
secured options on valuable water front
property on the opposite side of Norfolk,
owned by w. P. Clyde, and held by him for
the mast seven wears.

Disappearance OF IA Corpse.

On the morning of the 14th day of August,
1872, Charles ]. Reid, young man of twen-
ty-fve years, living at Xenia, O., fell dead
while walking across The dining room in his
fathers house. The family consisted OF his
father, mother, two sisters and cousin,
boy of fifteen. All were present at the
breakfast table when Charles entered the
room, but instead of taking his accustomed
seat near the door by which he had entered,
passed it, and went obliquey toward one of
the Windows-with what purpose no one
knows. He had passed the table but
few steps when he fell heavily to the floor
and never again bieathed. The body was
carried into bedroom, and, after vain ef.
forts at resuscitation by the stricken family,
left lying on the bed with composed limbs
and covered face. In the meantime the boy
had been hastily despatched for physician,
who arrived some twenty minutes after the
death. He afterward remembered as an
uncommon circumstance, that when he ar
rived, the weeping relations father. mother
and two sisters-were all in the room out of
which the bedroom door opened, and that
the door was closed. There Was no other to
the bedroom. This door was at once
opened by the father of the de-

through it he observed the rigid outlines Of
the body under the sheet that had been
thrown over it, and the profile was plainly
discernible under the face cloth, clear cut
and sharp, as proies of the dead seem al
ways to be. He approached and lifted the
cloth. There was nothing there He pull

NEW YORK, July 27.-Horatio Hall, agent
for the Maine Steamship Company, said to a
reporter yesterday, 1.-THE Padroni seem to
have become wary. We are shipping today,
Oh board the Winthrop, for Bangor, fifty
more Italians. Yesterday a padrone came
to this Office and bought fifty passage tickets
tried every device to get him to give me his
name or the names of the men he was for
warding, but he would not do so. 1t is the
company's rule to require passengers to give
their names SO that they may be inscribed on
their tickets, as in the case of a ship being
lost we would want to know and their
friends would want to know what had be-
come of them. Nobody demurs this regula-
tions except these padroni. The one who
came yesterday in reply to my request for
names said: Mama no good. Putta down
ona man. When / asked him for his own
name he said that was not necessary, as he
was going the same evening to Bangor by
rail-"
The padrone will doubtless meet his men
at Bangor, turn them over to the contractors,
get his dollar per man. and no one will be
wiser. 1t is evident that the padroni are
fully aware that their traffic in Iona man.

y NEW OKK, vu,yE-.-----
News of Saturday will contain the following
among other notes unpon the Panama and
De Lesseps canal
Among all classes, especially among the
the foremen and laborers on the canal line,
there is lack of faith and confidence. There
is no such abundance of money on the 18TH
mus as there used to be, and the unavoida-
BILE impressions gained from four days spent
in watching the work are of its non-effective-
ness, and that, in spite of the immense
amonnt of costly machinery and plant which
has been sent to the Isthmus, the work is be-
ing done by hand labor. Most of the exca-
waiting and dumping plant has been badly
deteriorated. Should the work continue a
year longer, nearly, if not quite all, win have
to be replaced. As result of the method of
letting work in each section to many differ
ent contractors, without apparently any
restrictions as to dumping ground, fully 80
per cent of all the material excavated
is handled twice and three times.
There has been some work at Culebra since
done, the new cuts are like burrows in a
ploughed field. Looking down from the
height of Culebra into the peaceful valley of
the Rio Grande far below, with only mar
row drainage ditch in the center and few
isolated patches of fresh earth here and
there, everything else having been already
reclaimed by the ever-encr0aching tropical
vegetation, the colossal grandeur of the as
sertion that the canal win be opened in 1890
becomes oppressive.
There is much sickness on the Isthmus.
One foreman at Culebra recently said that at
his hotel man died the previous forenoon,
another in the afternoon and third early
that morning, while two more would proba-
bly, die during the day. M. lacquer, the
company's director general, had the fever
early in the summer and left for France
when convaescent NJ. Antoine van Neau,
his successor, died June 25th, and M. Bonne-

Panama, died in the early part Of July. The
