OF WELL LOCATED LAND NEAR THE CITY
CHANCE FOR sYNDIcATEs
l am authorized to sell the choicest of the
county's land, generally known as the Pritchard
Plantation.
This land extends from the Waters Road to
the Skidaway Road, and is almost bisected by
the City and Suburban Railway. The second
northern line of the land. aud ''Sand-hy'' sta
tion is just beyond the southern line. There are
three new roads cut, and being cut. through
this land, which, with the two public roads and
the railroad above mentioned, give the properly
unequaled facilities for travel and unusual
advantage in road frontage.
The Casey Canal as now and the changes
thereof guaranteed by the county, will make
the drainage of this tract beyond criticism.
The Land has been sub.divided into thirty
eight tracts, containing from seventeen to forty
acres, each having guaranteed road 'front.'
The quality of the land compares favoraoly
with the best land in the county. Much of it is
high and beautifully wooded. None of it is
objectionably low. Taken as whole. it would
be difficult if not impossible to get another
piece of the size. of the diversified nature OF
SOIL and so near to the city and possessing such
valuable road privileges.
Syndicates already formed or to be formed
will find in this better chance for large profits
than anything else on the market.
Full and explicit plats OF the land can be had
from the unde signed.
Terms: One-tnrd cash, one-third in six
months and one-third in twelve months with
interest at the rate of per cent. on deferred
payments, a bond for title being given by the
county or its representative.

EFFECTS OF THE STORM.
A Scarcity Of Oysters-Movements OF
the Bay and River Steamers.

The storm this morning gave the river front
desolate appearance. The crowds Of busy
men usually seen working about the docks and
steam boats were not to be seen, but were
lowering about fires in the sheds and stores.
The recent storm on the bay showed its effects
at the oyster wharf. The supply Of bivalves
there was hardly large enough to supply the
demand. The oysters that are coming are
from this side Of the mouth Of the river and
most OF them are of inferior quality, but in the
absence of a full supply Of better ones they are
bringing good prices.
THE STEAMERS.
The river was pretty rough yesterday and
was in no better condition today. The steamer
Corcoran made two trips to Mount Vernon yes
terday and carried large number of visitors
from Brooklyn to the tomb OF Washington
The steamer Lady of the Lake arrived here
on time this morning from Norfolk. During
the trip the bay was not rough. but this morn
ing just as the steamer reached the mouth of
the river it encountered a heavy wind. The
steamer Leary, which left here las. evening for
Norfolk, reached the mouth OF the river about
the time the heavy wind started and probably
experienced rough voyage from Point Look
out to Old Point.
The Golfer dam at the long bridge makes the
water along the steam boat wharves very
smooth. but the water at the forks of the chan
nels reminds steam boat men of the waters off
Cape Henry after leaving the smooth waters of
Hampton Roads

Advice From MIR. Booth.

much startled when u waiter at the Mount YER

ing the names of two ladies unknown to him
The waiter said the ladies were pretty and were
waiting in the parlor. In a few minutes Booth
made his appearance in the parlor. and, much
to his surprise, he found two young and very
pretty society girls, one of whom was u debu-

A NEW DANGER.
How Foot Passengers Unexpectedly
Take a Tumble on Carbon.

The Introduction of the electric light has
was never anticipated and has probably never
been noted. In days gone by poets of the daily
press were wont to sing of the lurking foe to
humanity concealed within the slippery pulp
OF the treacherous banana peel and many a
man has gone limping down the street with
curse on his lips for the rain that helped the
banana tree to grow and consigning it to re-
gion where water does not abound. But now
a new ''foe to humanity" has made its appear
ance almost rs dangerous as the broken wire
and the grounded current and just treach-
erous as the peel. This is the insignificant Ii
tie piece of broken carbon smashed from the
half-burnt rod that the electric light man
throws down from his lofty perch as he fixes
the lamps for another inning. 1t is so small
that not one man out of hundred will notice
It. and when he begins to go slding-no he
does not begin at all, he just slides without any
beginning or warning about it-when he goes
sliding down to the gutter as though he had on
roller skate, and ends up by sitting down
with a thump and sprained ankle then he in
stinctively looks around to see who struck him.
Unless he has had experience III the same line
before he Is notapt to notice that innocent little
cylinder of carbon lying a few feet away. and
when friend or a good Samaritan picks it up
and tells him that that is what was the matter
with him he is very liable to lose his temper
and say bad words. This is an ever constant
danger on streets lighted with the incandescent
lamp, and one that could be removed by reg
ulation on the part of the lighting companies
prohibiting their employees from throwing the
old carbons down to the walk when they re-
move them. Several people have been hurt by
being struck with these waste bits of carbon,
and altogether it looks if the electric light is
not the pedestrians friend.
