THE NEWPORT NEWS ACADEMY.
The Prospect of Its Success-Thc Coming
Dover Association Meeting.

To DISPATCH reporter who called at the
Religious HcrdM Office yesterday. IN search
of news DR.. Dickinson said The very
latest news have comes from this letter,
lust to hand, from }. f. Gates, Esq, bro
ther-in-law of Mr.. C. y. Huntington. He
is one of the New York gentlemen who
have great holdings at Newport News and
is besides Christian philanthropist. He
is deeply interested in the proposed Bap-
fist Academy at Newport News. The forty
two lots of land are given by his Old Do
minion Company on condition that we Sc
cure in good Subscriptions $4,000 with
which to erect the necessary buildings
upon it. This we hope to do. but
the times are very unfavorable. 1t seems
proy,dential that the Dover Association is
to meet next week Mt Newport News. The
great BAPTIST leaders who will attend that
meeting will be led out to these forty-two
lots valued at $4,000. and asked to decide
whether the denomination can afford to let
such an opportunity be lost for the lack OF
a prompt and generous response TO Alr.
Gates and his liberal associates. L have
one comfort in the whole matter. The
history of every such great Christian enter
prise proves that with the occasion comes
the man to lead in it. We have one man
at Newport News who has headed this
effort for the $4,000 with a $4,000 sub
scription, and every time ! talk with him
about il the conviction grows upon me
that he would give three times that amount
rather than this great undertaking should
fail -

THE GARBAGE CREMATORY.
What DIR. Oppenhimer Says Touching
the Complaints Regarding 1t.

In the last annual budget Of appropria--
tions approved by the Council the sum OF
SO 900 for the construction OF crematory
for the incarceration of garbage ana other
refuse matter was included.
The expenditure Of the sum designated
was placed with the Health Committee,
who selected the head of Buchanan street.

Excayating was begun last Monday. ana
as soon as 1t was known crematory was

propertv-holders adjacent thereto began
| TO complain quite strenu0usly. All OF
| those Directing have combined and re-
| tanned Mr.. ID. q. Richardson with view
of procuring change OF location.
WILL NOT DE OFFENSIVE.
DIR. w. T. Oppenhimer. president ofthe
| Board of Health, informed DISPATCH re-
norter who called on HIM Yesterday after
noon that the crematory would IN no way
prove offensive or deleterlous to the health
| OF anv one. Such an institution IS now q
necessity. he stated, it being an impossi-
| ground anywhere near the city for the gar
bace. As TO having the carts carry 1t four
miles in the county TO the small pox

| return-eipht miles in all-would prove
| Unfortunately expensive.

There will be al immense CRATE with

not only all matter put In 1t, but also the
yapor and smoke arising from 1t.

top. Either wood or coal can be used in
the furnace, which can be fired mp quite

| at least.
Summing up the entire matter, DR.. OPP
| penhimer said that except the hauling o.
so many carloads of Objectionable mat
ter past their doors the residents OF the
neighborhood would be in no wise affected
by the erection and operation OF the ere
matory.
The President of the Board and severa
members of the Health Committee have
seen similar furnaces in operation in the
heart of cities elsewhere. and there WA:
no complaint whatever about them.
Several of the complaining people who

fears allayed on receiving his personal IS
surance that nothing offensive was TO be

a WHITE MAN FOUND DEAD.
1t Is Supposed He Fell from Doorway
md Fractured His Skull.

A white man named Michael Giddings
was found dead near Metzger's cooper
shop. ON Eighteenth street between Main
and Cary, last night about 10 o'clock. IL
is supposed that he fell from doorway
about seven feet high, which IS located IN
the sbop. and struck his head on q rock
beneath. The wound on his head seemed
to indicate this, and 1t is known that the
man STAYED there on Saturday evenings:
His skull seemed to have been fractured
by the fall.
The city ambulance was called, but of
course the physicians in charge could do
nothing. Coroner Taylor was then sum
moned and viewed the body. As there
seemed to be no suspicion of foul play he
will hardly hold an inquest, but Will go
down to-day and examine the scene of the
accident.
Deceased was about sixty eight years old
and was married.
