her fathers residence in Washington,
at 5:27 o'clock last Sunday morning.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

From our regular Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 81, 1890.
Speaker Reed has fully demon.
strated his ability to control the House
no matter how turbulent the minority |
may try to be. When the democrats
began to filliabuster by refusing to
vote on the motion of Representative
Dalzell to take up the contested case
of Smith VS.. Jackson in order to
break quorum, he took the bull by
the horns and instructed the clerk to
enter the names of the democratic
members present as not voting, and
then declared quorum present. This
raised as great a row for while as
was ever seen in the House, members
stood upon the chairs and desks aud
yelled themselves hoarse, but above
all the din stood the commanding tig'
ure of the Speaker; quietly giving his
reasons, and they were good ones, for
making decisions. He only followed
the example of Governor Hill when
be presided over the State Senate Of
3 New York, and of democratic speak
! er 10 the legislature Of Tennessee. MIR.

He VIII Soon Become tho Assistant
Bishop Of Alabama.
When on the morning Of Friday, Oc-
tober 3lst. the DISPATCH stated that Rev.
DIR. II. M. Jackson, the talented and pop
ular rector OF Grace Episcopal church OF
this city, had on the previous evening
been elected to the high position OF AS
sistant Bishop of Alabama it was init
mated that he would accept.
A telegram published in this paper on
Sunday confirmed the belief that Grace
church would soon lose the pastor who
has served it so well for some fourteen
years, aud the fact was made certain
when at the vestTy meeting last night
DR.. Jackson's written resignation was
formally rendered. The distinguished
divine was present and talked the mat
ter over with his veStrymen.
Or. Jackson said to q DISPATCH re-
porter yesterday that he could not say
exactly when he would leave thus city, as
he would have to be elected by ma
jority Of the votes of the standing COM
mittees Of the different dioceses in Ala
bama, and after this the consent OF the
majority OF the bishops in the United
States would be necessary. This action
Will require considerable time, and il
will probably be month or more before
ne leaves Richmond.

On the 14th day Of August last party
twisting capitalists from several cities Of
several southern States met with repre-
sentative citizens Of this place and to-
gether proposed and projected plans OF
development OF tho hidden wealth OF
this section of Virginia No wild and
visionary lot scheme, made more enticing
by the introduction Of capital prizes,
was adopted. but sum Of money suffi-
cient for faithful exploration and judi
cious option-taking was promptly sub
scribed and placed in the keeping OF DIR.
J. A. Sexton, formerly of Alabama, who
with an advisory local board of intelli-
gent business gentlemen has been
steadily, thoughtfully at work ever since
with the following results:
Actual purchases and recorded offers
of hundreds OF acres of land contiguous
TO our town admirably adapted to build
ing purposes, lots for residences and
manuiactr ring. actual purchase OF and
option on lands within fourteen miles OF
Farmville and four of the Farmville and
Powhatan railroad, upon which there is
an inexhaustible supply OF iron ore an
actual purchase Of and option on 1000
acres OF land within two miles OF our
town, upon which men Of largest expert
ence in such matters estimate that there
are certainly 25,000, 600 tons of coal, and
perhaps an indefinite amount beyond
this. With these facts established
another meeting of visiting capitalists
and homo representatives has been call
ed for the 18th Of this mouth, when ac-
tual building upon this actual boom bot
tom will be begun in earnest The
Farmyille and Powhatan road already
penetrates this vast coa-field, and will

and about these will gather o score or

A Warning.


The head of a family's duty in select
ing a home in the many new towns
springing up and the additions to the
already established cities is to look 10
the natural drainage and water supply.
Plymouth, Pa, some two years ago lost
many of its population by bad water,
which doctors said caused typhoid-fever
that occasionod tho death Of so many OF
Plymouth's s people. New towns first de-
pend on wells until they get sufficient
wealth 10 construct water-works. Tho
soils that some towns are built on are
sandy orgray that readily admit ofsurfaco
water, contauinating wells. which causes
so much sickness. Other towns are built
on stiff, red-clay soils that prevent the
surface water from going into the wells.
Such Is the soil that our beautiful River
View addition to tho fast-growing West
End is built on. Besides, River View
is located on a very high plateau Of roll
ing land, furnishing natural drainage.

meet with the city vater-mains TO fur

View, with the Holly system Of water

Holly system, so much in use in tho

voir. but water is pumped direct into the
