The sidings reach far away inland from this busy point of trans shipment, always well-filled with wait ing lines of laden grain, coal, iron and general merchandise cars.
 The most interesting feature of the city is undoubtedly the splendid plaAt of the Newport News Ship-building and Dry Dock company. This enterprise occupies seventy-five acres of ground, located rather more than a mile to the northwest from the railway and steam ship wharves. The water frontage Is one-half mile, and the buildings already in service for various purposes cover six acres, the actual floor space being much greater

 The machine and boiler shops are supplied with hydraulic travelling cranes of forty tons capacity, and the appliances throughout the yard for handling material are of novel design. enabling work to be done with dis patch and in an economical manner. Several extensive buildings will soon be added to the foregoing.
 Two iron vessels have already been constructed and two others will soon be launched, each having a carrying capacity of five thousand tons. The latter two are the largest merchant ships ever built in America. Over one hundred vessels have been dry-docked since the completion of facilities a lit tie more than year ago.
 The present population of Newport News is about six thousand souls, near ly all of whom are sustained by the several great enterprises above men, toned.

 The Hotel Warwick has been man. aged since its opening by MT. J. R. Swinterton, an able and pleasant Yan- kee. While primarily designed as an agreeable headquarters for business men and their families, the beauty of its location and excellence of its cuisine attracts hither large numbers of guests from the leisurely classes, who fully en- joy the delicious climate which is found here the. e.greater part of the year.
 There are few localities in the world blessed with such an abundance and variety of vegetable and fruit pro- ducts as this prosperous tide-water re- zion of Virginia. The waters all about yield an abundance of fish, oysters and Holsters. The New York market Is largely supplied with early fruits and vegetables from this easily titled and accessible region.

Was a Man of Great Strength.

.
 Glastonbury, Oct 1S.-Captain Charles Buckland, one of the best known citi- zens of this town, died at his home on Main street Wednesday morning. Cap tain Buckland was a resident of this place for forty years, having passed his earlier life in his native town of East Hartford. He was for several years Captain of a coasting vessel and was we'll known along the river. He sub- sequently became first officer on the steamer Capitol City and for twenty four years was employed by what is now the Hartford and New York Buckland was more than six feet in height and his strength was matter of general comment. He was a. terror of evil doers on shipboard, though he did not abuse the strength with which he was favored. He spent the latter part of his life in farming, until. about four years ago, when he retired from active work, owing to i'll health. He was an intense sufferer from spinal troubles for two years, the disease finally result ing in death. Captain Buckland's wife, Ann Eliza Gaines) Buckland died last June and her death was severe dlow to her husband. Lee Buckland of East Hartford is a brother of deceased. The captain was prominent Mason and Odd Fellow. He was for several years in partnership with s. c. Hardin. Cap- tain Buckland was 66 years of age.

GOLF IS TR E GAME.
A Medical Journal Says Nothing bat Good
 of It,

A Medical Journal Says Nothing bat Good
 oft.
 The healthfulness of golf Is made the subject of a special plea by the Lon don Hospital, which says with great confidence that it is the game for the exhausted brain worker at any stage of his life. No junior is too young, no sen- for too old, to learn 1t; to learn 1t and to enjoy it. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. On the golf links of St. An dreWs the man of seventy looks fifty, and the man of fifty has the appearance of thirty-five. The chief reasons for this are that both the old man and the middle-aged can eat, digest and sleep. There are scores, perhaps hundreds of educated men of all classes between the ages of 40 and 90, at St. Andrews at this moment, and they are, without ex- ception, the healthiest and handsomest collection of middle-aged and old men the writer has ever seen. ...
 Sleeplessness, so far as the writer was able to discover in a three weeks sojourn at St. Andrews, Is absolutely unknown to the regular golf player. One may almost say it is impossible. Living, as he does, in the open air, and taking several hours of daily exer- else without unpleasant fatigue and with mind constantly, but not labor iously, interested, he eats well, and so the brain is adequately nourished. The blood, too, is thoroughly oxydized, and by the due exercise of all the muscles is made to flow, evenly throughout the body without abnormal concentration supon the brain. These are the tindis- pensible conditions of sound and cer- tain sleep, and these conditions are ad- mirably fulfilled by regular and syste- matic golfng. Golf has the merit of be- ing the real "cure," under reasonable physiological conditions, and with the cure of sleeplessness it brings many other advantages, such as strengthened muscles, a toned-up heart, a vigorous appetite and sound digestion.

EVIDENCE. AGAINST ELLIOT.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Jan. 26.-J. c

being lynched on Wednesday for s.rik-
ing Mrs Nolte while raiding her house,
was on trial to-day before Justice Bur-
net,4 on a charge Of assault aud bat
terry. Elliot was accompanied to the
court house by dozen spies, all heav-
lily. armed and wagon load of police
also heavily armed, and commanded by
the chief, was also on the scene. They
surrounded and took possession Of the
court house during the trial, which,
owing to the slowness Of the judge.
lasted from i q. N. until 6 p. m. and
was then adjourned until tomorrow.
The first witness put up was W. Il.
Smith, who being sworn, said that he
was left in charge Of Mr.. Nolte's store
from o'clock on the 24th till MIR.
Nolte returned. Somewhere about
2 o'clock several of the State consta-
bles passed. Elliot came in and asked if
he could search the premises. He
showed no warrant, nor even a badge.
He was referred to Mrs. Nolte. Mrs.
Nolte told him that be must wait till
Mr.. Nolte returned. Elliot said be
had right to search and struck Mrs.
Nolte on the left shoulder with his fist.
He then went behind the counter and
searched in the -four barrels. Elliot
was drunk. He supported himself on
his cane and could hardly keep himself
up, He called me back in the store
afterwards and asked me to get Mrs
Nolte to drop the case against him, and
acknowledged tba. he struck her.
G. w. Helms was the next witness
sworn. He said that he was in the
store and saw Elliot strike Mrs. Nolte !:
did not know what words had passed
between them before, but he saw the
blow struck and told him (Elliot) SO.
Asked if Elliot was drunk, the
witness said II did not see him drink
anything. but l smelt whiskey on his
breath. He appeared to be intoxica-'
ted"
W. h, Meyer said he was at Nolte's
store. He saw Mrs Nolte, MIR. Smith,
Mr.. Helms and Constable Elliot. Did
not see any blow struck. He heard
Mrs. Nolte say. You struck me. Ell

the door on the street. went right
off. Mrs. Nolte asked that policeman

derhorss street. Was at home at 2
o'clock on Wednesday afternoon. Her
husband was away. A man came in.
She didn't know him, bat would know
