salute of thirteen guns was fired. and a
neriod of rejoicing followed. The canal

many years and more than million dol

wide at the top. 10 feet at the bottom,
aud ten feet deep. and when completed to
the lower extremity will afford passage
for boats and furnish l3,OOO-horse power OF
water. which when developed will make

Grand Rapids, Mich, says: Dennis Muir
raw, the freight engineer who escaped
from the late wreck on the Grand Rapids
and Indian railroad, near Manton, is now
violently insane in Jail at Cadiila, and con-
stantly begs to be killed. His wife, who is
with him, is also nearly crazed. Sherman,
the conductor of the freight. is still a fu-
gitiye. IL was reported that he had shot
himself in tho woods near Manton, but II
is believed that the story originated with
persons who wished to throw the oficers
off the track.

THE sH1p-YARDs.

However. the greatest advantage Will De
their effect on that tremendous industry
the ship-yards and the manner in which the
permanent population Of the place will be
increased. Twas about TO say that the pro-
iectors Of the ship-yards "bullded better
than they knew" That, however. IS not
so. They foresaw that great TRANSATLANTIC
ship lines, with Newport News as one OF
their terinini were IN tie inevitable logic
of the development of this country,
and in proceeding on the immense scale
they did they prepared TO meet this de-
mand that would be made upOn them.
When these liz o. shall be fully under
way the result cannot fail Of being
that the ehip-yards and dry-docks
will be W, rked TO their full capacity
in repairing and building new ships. This
means large increase in population OF
the best class of mechanics who will make
Newport News their permanent home and
induce the establishment of minor in
dustries. 1t means the putting into cir
culation of an immense amount OF money
weekly, for these men get good wages. IL
means supplementing by several thousand
the list OF those who desire to become
house owners and rear and educate their
children here. IL means an increase OF
schools and churches and stores and O
steady advance in values IN real estate.

A LIVE SYNDICATE.

Already values are stiffening, but not
am happy to say to speculation prices.
There is an intimation here that Rich
mond syndicate has purchased or are ne.
gotiating TO purchase three hundred OF
the lots of the Newport News Company.
and will commence building at once.
How true this is / do not know, but GER
tain it is if it is true the syndicate are
wise. The plat of the Newport News Com
pany IS the residential plat of the place.
Every improvement; made by the authorl-
ties of the city must go right through 1t,
and in the immediate future every house
that is built upon it will be in demand by
either would-be purchasers. or renters.
That is as fixed as ANYTHING hui
man can be. The Richmond syn
dictate have, therefore, accepting II
as fact that the negotiations have been,
or will be closed, taken time by the fore
lock, and good harvest is in store for
them. II also follows that good harvest
is in store for oil Others who may purchase
before the improvements put on the lots
send up values. Every house that is built
on the land of the Newport News Com
pany adds permanent value to every
other lot in the place, for the reason
that Newport News cannot expand with
out expanding over this property, and
that il must expand rapidly within COM
paratively short time Is universally recog-
nized by some of the most astute men, not
only in this but in other communities.
The influx Of population from the new
steamship lines is a thing of the imme-
date future and not matter of specula-
ton. The ship-yard men, the real-estate
men, the businessmen, and the capitalists
are recognizing this IN a most practical
way and are preparing for IL. Another
wear will. it is confidently predicted, see q
tremendous addition TO the people on
these busy streets and large extension Of
the built-up area of the city.

the Theatre.

This evening at the Burtis Opera house.
Davenport. will be presented James
Reilly's musical comedy. The Broom
Maker" which is considered as one Of the
best German dialect comedies, and like all
similar plays, has the artistic incongruity
which makes tine characters talk broken
English, although the plot is laid in Ger
many and the actors are supposed to talk
German. Mr.. Reilly has some very
catchy songs which, interpolated into the
play, makes it more pleasing. Mr..
Reilly as a stage German comedian is
second Fritz Emmett.
Manager Kindt, of the Burtis, at Day
export, will furnish the attendants upon
the performance of "O'Dowd's Neigh
bors" with full election returns between
the acts, besides giving them the comedy
entertainment of the season. The cast
of "ODowd's Neighbors" embraces more
than 80 people. The burden of the fun
resting with Messrs. Murphy, Ryan,
Broderick and Otto Shattuck, also intro
duces dainty little bit of humanity in
Ollie Archner. who has rightfully won
the sobriquet of Little Duchess. She is
quite pretty sunbeam and possesses an
excellent voice. One of the hits is q
sextet from Lucia di Lsmmermoor,
rendered by Ethel Lynton. May Whites
more. Sydney Durham. W. Patterson,
Robert W. Broderick and William r.
Mcpherson. These voices are all good,
they blend in perfect harmony and their
rendition of the selection invariably
brings half doz IN demands for repe-
tition.
