rible fall to-day. While his vessel, the
Verda, was loading at Lambert Point.
While aloft he lost his balance. and feh
sixty feet TO the deck below. The sail

is feared that his skull is fractured. lie

The physicians az ST. Vincent's Hospital.
where he was taken have little hope Of
his recovery.
The construction OF the Wilmington and
Southport Railway now appears 10 be a
certainty. The necessary surveys have
been made. the charter is in existence,

business in coaling ships will, of course,
be diverted from Norfolk; but it is not
believed that IL will amount to enough

will be that ships mailing from southern
ports will be enabled 10 escape Hatteras

BETTER COMMUNICATION
To lie Established with Chinco-
feaEue ISIand-Ncw Steamer.


ONANCOCK. VA, March 29.-(Special)
For many years it has been more difficult
and costly for the people living on Chin
colleague Island 10 get 10 Accomac
Courthouse than TO Philadelphia. This is
due to the fact that i'm coming from
ChincOteague one has TO cross ChlncO-
league bay to Franklin City. then ride
twelve miles across the country TO Ne"
Church Station, and then come down tlV
railroad about thirty miles TO the court
house, fully two days and two nights be-
ing required for the trip. 1t IS even
worse with the mails from the South. II
takes from four to ave days for person
in Onancock to get a reply from Chinco-
league. though the distance between the
two places does not exceed forty miles
and two steamers make daily trips be-
tween Chincoteague and Franklin City,
the terminus of the Delaware, Maryland,
and Virginia railroad
Steps have at last been taken to remedy
this defect in the communication between
the mainland OF the Eastern Shore and
the most populOus, prosperous, and cele-
brated of all our islands. n meeting was
held at Atlantic last week for the pur-
pose of organizing a company 10 build a
small steamer to run from Wishart S
Point. on the mainland, to Chincoteague
and Franklin CITY. The amount of stock
necessary TO build the steamer was taken
on the spot by farmers in the vicinity
one share being reserved for a gentleman
on the island. Hon. 5. wilkins Matthews,
who represents Accomac in the House oil
Delegates, was chosen president OF the
company. and W. j. Taylor treasurer.
The contract for building the steamer
has been awarded TO c. w. Crockett oil
Pocomoke City, and the company hope 10
begin operations by June next. Inc
steamer will not carry any heavy irelsht
but will tow freight barses from VIE

he replied, mo. Why should I prose

Now that the different doctors and Of

seen that there has been some queer
manipulating in regard to the Health
Board. Captain Thomas stated him mself
that he had not asked any one OF the doc

but had appointed them on the Health
Board with perfect liberty to do rs they
pleased.

that Harry Thomas, the Mayors son,

before succeeded in hypnotZing a jury as
he did this afternoon. His speech on be-

nounced that they had found the prisoner
not guilty.
