Writes for Aid to His Brother in Princess
Anne-S Searching Workingmen.

NORFOLK, VA, Feb. 9.-Special.-Cap-
tain Ed Drinkwater, of Princess Anne

brother Mr.. Horatio Drinkwater, in
which the latter states that he is In
hospital in South Shields, England, sick.
and desires to be furnished 500, in order
TO return TO his home in North Carolina.
Captain Drinkwater has a brother by
that name who sailed in the ship New
Orleans to Glasgow in 1865, since which
time not a word has been heard from
him. The ship was supposed to have
been lost. Captain Drinkwater has taken
steps to investigate the matter. and will
ascertain If his long-lost brother is really
in England.
The negro, Harry Rogers. who assaulted
Mr.. NJ. w. Mason, has been positively
identified by that gentleman, and has been
sent on to the grand jury and committed
to JAIL the police-justice refusing bail.
The Newport News Shipbuilding and
Dry Dock Company are making prepare

be beauties in design, and their lines
will be feather-edge, thus insuring speed.
They will ply between New Orleans and
Liverpool in connection with the Sunset
route.
The workingmen in the navy-yard this
morning had to bear the shame of being

for several days, and the men are pro-
testing.

CIVAIGNIC'S SPEECH
Causes Something of n Sensation in Paris.
Possible Dissolution.

,iSsoiuttOh'
PARIS. Feb. 9.-There is a consensus
of opinion to the effect that the Govern
ment has met a moral reverse in the
decision Of the Chamber OF Deputies to
have Cavaignac's speech placarded
throughout France. 1t is felt that the
speech is a severe criticism of the Gov
eminent, and all the more severe be-
cause couched in such careful and patri-
otto language.
The Conservative newspapers especially
affirm that Cavaignac has given the Gov
eminent the coup de grace. and that the
Cabinet ought to retire. The COnserva-
tives argue that a dissolution OF the Min
istry is the only logical outcome OF the
situation.
The Radical and Republican papers
do not hide their dissatisfaction with the
situation. They say that yesterdays sit
ting revealed a concentration Of the Left
Centre, or moderate Republicans. with the
Right, or opposition under Boulangist
patronage, and that this foreshadowed
the accession OF a Ministry relying on its
own claims 10 public support. lie Radi-
cal demands that the Chambers should be
dissolved. Yves Guyot writes TO lie Steele
that the virtuous policy approved by the
Chamber appears to be nothing more than
cupidity. The Journal Des Debats de-
duces from yesterdays events that new
men and new methods are wanted. lie
Petit Journal says that the Chamber or
Deputies has for the first time morally
sanctioned the Panama trial. La Paix
says that the sitting will enllghten the
country as to the true sentiment Of the
Government which associated itself with
NJ. Cayaignac's statements, and Will be
great relief to the public mind.

of Dwellings.
A destructive fire occurred In the west
ern norton of the city at an early hour
this morning.
The alarm was sounded from Station
& nj n few minutes before o'clock. and
was caused by the burning OF block OF
six frame dwellings at the corner OF
Marshall and Norton streets. The houses
were all beautiful buildings two stories
high. and were a great attraction to that
portion of the city.
They were owned by Mr.. Richard b.
Lee. of the firm Of Ryland & Lee. A fair
estimate of the value of the block would
be, perhaps, $4,000. 1t was impossible to
gather any definite facts. however this
morning. as to the loss or the insurance
II is believed that they were
covered by insurance. At $3.50 the build
ings were burning rapidly. and were
doomed TO be totally destroyed.
The houses were occupied by Ernest

Of the Southwestern Railroad Of Georgia
met hero to-day. Forty-one thousand
shares were represented out of $1,000.
The main question before the meeting
Is the acceptance or the reorsahlzatloh
scheme for the Central road, which has
a controlling interest. Some time ago
the directors appointed a con mittee TO
investigate the plans. and that commit
tee reported to-day practically In opposl-
ton TO the scheme.
II is possible that the stockholders may
determine to decline to enter the plan,
and will give the Central until next July
to pay the defaulted dividend, or give the
committee on reorganization an opportu-
nifty to underwrite.
1t is said that the Louisville and Nash
vile railroad is ready to take the South
