NOTSEEN FORA WEEK
FEARS ENTERTAINED FOR THE SAFETY
OF MA. HENRY FUoUA !.
Representatives Of tho Base BAN League
10 Meet-Joseph Blandford Sent
On for Trial.

PETERSBURG, VA. March 1o-Cspe-
cial)-Mr. Henry Fuqua, an old and we'll
known citizen of tho Fourth Ward. has
not been seen by his friends for nearly
week. and his Disappearance cannot be
accounted for. He left his home, on Old
street, Sunday afternoon. and later Is
said to have been somewhat under the
influence Of liquor. 1t Is reported when In
this condition he has several times alb
sented himself from home for day or
two. and consequently no uneasiness was
felt about him for several days. But his
prolonged absence has caused fears as TO
his safety, and the most active search
has been made for him. The last seen
of him on Sunday afternoon was while
he was walking along the river bank, ana
some fears are expressed that he may
have fallen into the river. Others think
he may have gone to the country to visit
friends, and that he may yet turn up all
right.

REPRESENTATIVES of the clubs composing
the state league will meet in this city on
Wednesday next to elect president or
the association. adopt bylaws. and ar

MES the charge Of theft, saying tnat tiie
nroperty In question was loaned to him by
the plaintiffs in the case for an indefinite
time. He frankly told where the articles
could be found. The plaintiffs say the
articles were temporarily loaned, but with
the understanding that they should not
be taken out of the city.
A SAD CASE.
Two young white men OF hitherto good
character named David Browden and
Henry Dodson, were charged In the
Mayors Court this morning with entering
the vacant factory building Of John H..
Bryant &c Co, in Blandford, and steal
ing quantity OF brass and other metal
therefrom. The machinery Is supposed 10
be damaged to the extent of 500 or more
by the breakage. They made two trips
to the building to get the plumber the ex-
cuse being that they did not know the
metal was of any value to any zone. They
were sent on To the Hastings Court for
trial.

WILL BulLDA oNE.TRAoK ROAD.
A Buffalo Mans Scheme for Travelling 100
Miles an Hour by Electricity.


Miles an Hour by Electricity.
Before long, unless present plans
fall through, work will begin upon a
western New York Railroad Of novel
and curious design. On this new
road, according to the plans of the
projectors, passengers will be whirled
across the country at the rate Of 100
miles an hour If necessary, carried
high up in the air in long, slender
cars driven along single rail by
electric power. This first Of the
elevated railways will run from Oak
Orchard Harbor to Batavia, a dis
lance Of forty miles, according to the
route laid out. OF this route, the
right of way for three and one-half
miles has been secured. The invent
or, Captain Lima Beecher, Of Buffalo,
says the Express, claims that the adj
yantages Of elevated roads are many.
The cost of operation is cheaper,
there are no dangerous grade cross
ings, snow and dust are equally out
Of the way, no grading, ditching and
fencing is necessary; and a high
rate Of speed can be maintained in
city and country alike. According
to the Beecher SYSTEM he says that
the farmer can pillow, SOW, reap, and
even pick fruit under the line. 1t is
proposed to make the elevated struct
ure light and narrow, so as to occupy
very little ground. The passenger
cars are to be about 45 feet long and
81 feet wide, carrying forty passen-
gers apiece. These long and narrow
cars will encounter very little atmos-
pheric resistance, says Captain Beech
er, and will cut the air like a bird.
The entrance to the cars is at the
side. The coaches are made on the
bicycle principle, and it is stated
that in motion they will balance
themselves on the center or traction
wheel while the safety or guide
wheels at the side will not touch the
guide rails, thus causing little fric-
tion. The cars are expected to round
the sharpest curves at high speed
with safety, and climb the steepest
grade with ease. The motive power
is to be storage batteries, and there
will be no danger from sparks. The
weight Of passenger car carrying
forty passengers, with batteries and
electric motor, will be only about 200
pounds per passenger, says the in
ventor. This elevated Batavia and
Lake Ontario Railroad is to be built
by a company incorporated with a
capital of 100000. Captain BeecheI
is president Of the company and j.
w. Holmes, Of Batavia, Is chief en-
gineer.

The Handy Man.

The "handy man" is a godsend to
the plumber, the carpenter, the
builder, the paperhanger and several
others. With view to saving ex-
penses he buys a tool chest and pro.
ceeds to tinker with everything that
is out Of shape, When a door hangs
badly he takes it off the hinges and
tries to plane or saw a piece off the
bottom. He is certain to spoil the
woodwork and frequently breaks the
hinges in putting them back. 1t is
not at all an easy thing for one man
to hang a door anyhow, and 1t is
practically impossible for an amateur
to do it at all.
When the handy man finds some Of
his wall paper knocked off he hunts
(lp one of the fragments that we're
left and pastes it over, producing a
result so hideous that his wife gener-
ally sends for paperhanger and has
the whole room done over again.
The same man commences to build a
shed or back fence, and finding that
he has got everything out of plumb
and that the corners won't come
right he sends for carpenter and
has to pay him for tearing everything
down besides doing the work,
