To he Editor Of Gie Dispatch;
Where was the first pit coal found in
Virginia? ScoTTsvILLE.
In a letter Of William Byrd dated 10th
May, 1901, he writes: THE 10th of May,
last, with Coll. Randolph, Capt. Epes.
Capt. Webb, &c.,went up to the new set
Elements of We frinch Refugees at ye Man
akin Town" I'VE went up to We
Cole, w'ch is not above mile and-a-half
from their settlement on the great Upper
Creeke, w'ch riseing very high in great
Raines, hath washed away the Banke, that
the Coal lyes bare"
Lawson, the Surveyor and his
torian of North Carolina, ascribes the dis
covery of coal to a Huguenot settler at
Manakintown, who having shot fowl,
had difficulty in regaining the summit of
the bank.
:" The Frenchman in bis efforts to'climb
back dislocated some earth at the foot Of q
shrub of which he had taken hold, and re-
vealed the out-cropping coal. Making
known his discovery, the land was sur
veyed and patented by some of the gentry.n
The patsntee appears to have been the en-
terprising William Byrd, who under
standing that there was coal-mine upon
some land lying near Monacan town, which
had not been granted to the French, wrote
out q patent for 3i4 acres. including the
same, which patent was dated October 20.

Property Rights of the Wife.
fICHMOND, VA, ItUI udIJ 4Vi Iu0

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
Will YOU please state in your next ISSUE
for the Qualification OF q number OF sub
scribers. what control If any, husband has
over the property of his wife, held by her
ut her marriage OF acquired after. VI
course legal control is meant.
SUBSCRIBER
This is rather a large order. Sub
scriber" has asked question which 1t
would take frst-class lawyer several
hours TO answer with accuracy and thor
oughness; and if he intends TO do any act
which may affect his or his wife's property
the best advice which could be given him
is to seek the aid of some goodlawyer-and
nav him for 1t. The following is a general
outline of the law on the subject IN Vir-
ginia:
1t the marriage took place prior to April
4. 1S77-the date Of the first married
women's act 1.-THE rules of the common
law prevailed. BY those rules the husband
became entitled to all the wite's personal
prOperty with some qualifications and ex-
ceptions which would require several col
umns to make plain. He was also entitled
during de marriage to the rents, issues, and
profits arising from her real estate and IL
she had during the marriage child oy
him. born alive. he was entitled to such
rents, issues, and profits during has tue.
This is called an estate by the courtesy"
If the marriage took place after April 4,
1877, then the new statutes applied. These
statutes were amended now and then, and
in the new Code QsS7) the married
women's Lawn was greatly changed, 50
that it behooves a man to remember ex-
actly when he was married, so that he may
consult the particular statute that applies
to his case. The general effect OF the
present laws is that man and wife are partly
divorced as far as property rights are con-
cerned. All the estate, real and personal.
which any woman may possess at the time
of her marriage or whicha married woman
may acquire, and all the rents, issues, and
profits thereof shall be and continue her
separate estate, not subject to theus con-
troll. OF disposal of her husband nor liable
for his debts. But If she die possessed of
real estate and there has been child of
the marriage born alive during the mar
riage, then the husband is entitled to the
rents, issues, and profits of the real estate
during his life. And If she die possessed
of personal estate leaving no will, he takes
the whole of it at her death.

Law Gould's Plans.

Mr.. GouIp's railroad schemes are 80 gi-
cantic, and allegations and denials With
respect thereto follow each other with such
rapidly, il is no easy matter TO keep ones
eye on the situation. He alters railroad
maps with the same daring that NAPOLEON
changed the maps of Europe.
This thing, however. is certain-that the
Dauville system Is being managed in con-
nsction with his Pacific properties, and the
time is probably near at hand when he will
run its cars 10 New York on his own tracks.
An entrance into New York has long been
wished and very likely may now be Sc
cured over the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road. True he now has very good traffic
arrangements with the Pennsylvania Com
psny, but he would rather be an owner
than lessee.
When this access shall have been OBJ
tanned the question will arise, VIII not the
southern seaports be abandonedS We
think not. Probably some business viii be
diverted from Thorn, but no connections
that Mr.. GouLD and Mr.. ISMAS can secure
for some time 10 come will have facilities
ample enough 10 transport the immense
bulk Of freight which now finds its way to
New York ria Savannah, West Point, DC.
Besides. the Terminal Company has yalua-
BILE property at these places, and it is not
likely that 1t viii do such foolish thing as
10 make it comparatively valusless.
The transcontinental traffic it is pro-
posed to throw on the lines of the Danville
system will crowd them 10 such an extent
that il would seem likely Mr.. GOULD would
be glad enough TO continue TO dump"
his cotton at southern ports where it can
be compressed and forwarded by vessels
TO New York.
Mr.. GouLD's ambition seems TO be limit
iessL He would like 10 gobble up sll the
railroad lines IN this country, and If health
q spared him il IL not impossible that no
may be able to dol Il. But day may un-
make as q day has made. Dir. GouLD's
health Is no longer good. 1t is absolutely
certain that be was III on bis homeward
trip from Florida. There can be no doubt
about this. We entertain none. II was ns-
tura that he should not wish to alarm his
family BY allowing them 10 hear that his
life was in danger; and il was important
that the New York money market should
not De disturbed IN his absence, and hence
the report OF bis serious illness was contra
dlcted. II was sudden. sharp attack from
which he has secmingly recovered. but

ICorrespondence OF the Richmond Dispatch.l
NORFOLK, February 1.-THE stir COM

quite an energetic controversy as TO the
delinquency of the police department. IN

will be an official statement from that
source after certain investigations. are

FESTIVE COPS.
Two policemen are now under suspen-
sion for being drunk and four or five more
ore waiting 10 be tried on charges not so
crave. With all its delinquencies Norfolk
never had such an efficient police force as
exists to-day. Appointments that turn out
poorly are soon gotten rid of, and TO an
outsider it looks as il the commissioners
could hardly be more strict or exacting.
The remains OF DR.. Wash. Peters

THE ADDRESS OF WELCOME.
Mayor j. Thompson Baird will deliver
