RICHMOND, Va. Feb. 10.-Cobb's
island, a. famous summer resort and
life-saving station, six miles off the
Virginia coast, in the Atlantic ocean.
seems to be doomed to humiliation bv
the action of the sea- A terrific storm
swept the island, last October, wreck
ing the main hotel and flooding the
island, making a trench across its cen
ter. Since then the disintegration has
been steady, until recently, when the
high tides submerged the island and
washed nearly all the buildings into
the surf. The hotel church and q num-
Der of cottages have been DESTROYED
and the life-saving station and a few
cottages are all that is left. The cap

whom this information comes, saws
there Is no longer any doubt that the
island is doomed and only a phenom-
eral action Of the wind and waves
could possibly restore it. The life
saving station, which was recently
moved back from the encroaching sea,
is now less than 200 feet from the
waves.

SIHCiNI to lHE DUN
VINELAND, n. j., Nov. l2.-Now is the
time for the self-respecting hobo and the
discriminating tramp to move on from
this burg. Things are growing tougher
every day in the town Jail, and square
meals are growing smaller, while the
sentences grow larger. Totell the truth,
Vineland has sickened Of its hospitality
and will cut down on its table d'hote.
Up to this week things were not SO
bad, that is from certain point of view.
Tramps gone into keeping in the late
fail, came out in spring fat as a Thanks
giving turkey. Mindful OF their fare,
they returned regularly at the approach
of winter, and even breaking could
not drive them away. Up and down the
pixies Vineland's table d'hote was thing
of fame.
"This can't go on" said Councilman
Rohrer at to-night's meeting ofthe Coun-
Gil; "our criminals are living too high.
Ten cents meal is too much for the
taxpayers. | move that it be cut down
to fve."
The town fathers said: eyes, yes" at
this, and tomorrow five-cent meals will
begin in the Jail. OF course, the Jail
guests will protest, but it will do no good.
When spring comes, the outgoing pris-
oners will look like an exodus from a
lath factory.

Patton had started across the track
and either did not see the train or else
became bewidered and stopped in front
OF the locomotive. He was knocked
down striking upon his head and his
lower liml's went under the wheels. The
affair was not due to the carelessness of
the engineer as the train was under per-
feet control and stopped Immediately.
The bell was ringing at the time and as
soon as the engineer saw that Patton was
in danger he sounded the whistle.
Late last night Patton was reported to
be resting easily. ..

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 1.-THE base
ball magnates had battle royal to-day
at their convention in the Hotel Walton,
and as a result the Temple Cup series is
thing of the past.
Hart and Wagner have been against
these games ever since they were started
and to-day they were joined by a major
ity of the other magnates, and there will
be no more Of the Temple Cup series.
Hanlon and Freedman were very much
opposed to the abolition Of the series, as
both think their teams have an excellent
chance to finish one-two, and the Balti-
more manager no doubt thinks his team
would win the series next season, and
thus become absolute owners of the cup.
A committee, composed of Nick
Young, Byrne and Watkins, was ap-
pointed to consult with Mr.. Temple
as to What is to be done with
the cup. 1t is quite likely
the Mr.. Temple will turn the cup over to
Baltimore, as they lave contested for it
each year. 1t was expected that the
League would substitute Il cash purse for
the Tempe cup but nothing was done in
regard to the matter and it looks as
though the player will not have any
extra incentive to finish well up.
In making upthe various committees
or boards the magna,rs draw lots for the

Freeman of New York could not draw
worth a cent. He did not get place ON

NEW MOTOR ARRIVED.
The Unlucky Bridge to Have u New
MOtOr--Will be the "HOOdOO"
Bridge No Longer.


Charles Heinel has delivered the first
consignment OF material for the new 10
horse power motor recently contracted
for by the Levy Court bridge committee.
Work began at once, as the bridge has
for two months been turned by hand
and has been in a very shaky condition
in consequence. 1t is probable that the
draw will not be turned off at all on Sun
day, when the motor will be attached.
The steamer Ulrica. which is the only
boat passing through the draw on Sum
days, will probably have to land below
the bridge if she travels at all. Should
stray tug or an emergency docking case
happen along with the bridge unable to
be turned the complications would prob
ably entail rather fine point of mari

TERRELL WAS STABBED.
Three Severe Cuts Received In a
Fight.
TAINTED FROM LOSS OF BLOOD
Fearing the Possibility of a HemOr
rhage the Physician Sent
Him to the HOmeO.
pathic Hospital.

Another stabbing affray occurred yes
terday afternoon at the Pennsylvania
avenue crossing OF the B. & o. railroad.
As usual, the parties concerned were
workmen of the company, who have the
contract of building the bridge over the
avenue. Last night John B. Terrell, a
colored man, was sent to the Homco-
pathic Hospital suffering from several
severe stabs. The assailant was a black
smith who was formerly in the employ
of the contractors. The story the wounded
man tells is, that when work was done he
wens to the nearest fire and stood warm
ing himself and waiting for his COM
rades some whom live in the same house.
While standing there the blacksmith ac-
cused him of trying to get his job. Ter
rcll replied that as he was stone mason
it was not likely that he would want a
job as blacksmith. Calling him liar
and several foul names, the blacksmith
sprang at him and struck him in the face
and was promptly knocked down. He
got up and ran in, on Terrell again and
was once more knocked down. The
next time the blacksmith came with a
knife and Terrell received two vicious
cuts before he could defend himself.
Throwing up his left arm he
caught the third blow across the
muscles OF his arm just below the
shoulder. His assailant then ran and
has not since been seen. Terrell went to
the Office Of DR.. John P..lmerat Delaware
avenue and Scott street, where his
wound was dressed. The one in the
chest was the worst and the mans life
was probably saved by the haste with
which the blow was struck as it was
stopped by striking rib. After his
wounds were dressed, Terrell walked to
his boarding house at No. Gl7 Windsor
street. Shortly after reaching home he
tainted from loss of blood and exhaus-
ton and DR.. J. b. Stubs was sum
moned. He ordered his removal to the
Homeopathic Hospital, as there was a
possibility Of hcmorrhage Terrill is "a
years of age and is + ON spots, ar a
county, Va.
The people in the neighborhood of the
bridge say thai rows are of frequent oc-
currence, as the men employed ON the
work seem to be Of the toughest char
actcr and always qlarpIsome. They are
men from every quarter OF the Union,
and some Of them have made themselves
a terror to the residents, In the fight OF
Thursday night in which John Mooney
was cut the workmcn of the construc-
ton company We're prominent factors
and are credited with starting the row.
Also when Mooney was taken to DIR.
M"orc's drug store, at Delaware avenue
and Scott streets, the men who we've
with him claimed to know the man who
did the cutting, and said that he was one
Of the bridge worknen. Another fight
will probably result from this cutting, as
the injured mans friends vow vengeance.
The use Of weapons in their fights is a
feature that is novel in this city, as eX-
cept in the case Of negroes, disputes are
usually settled without weapons other
than such as come to hand at the
moment. Knives are not labiual| Y car
