His democracy Was impuGned, But
He Was Nindlcated.

The State Board of Education held an
extended and exceedingly lively session
in the 'ofiice OF the Superintendent OF Pub
lie Instruction yesterday, and elected
Mr.. Peter Il. Cowles. of James City, 10
be superintendent of Schools OF that
county.
The position was made vacant by the
death IN April of Colonel James II. Allen
and SIR. Cowies was opposed by Messrs
James n. Bellamy, William Leonard
Jones, and William Walker Ware
Messrs. Bellamy. Jones. and Ware spoke
at some length IN their own behalf and
the two first named made charges reflect
ing on the Democracy OF Mr.. Cowles.
This brought Messrs. G. A. Branch,
James Citys commemorative Attorney,
md James A. Barnes, ex-chairman OF
the Democratic County Committee, to
their feet. and they vehemently de-
nounced the charges against MIR. Cowles
as unfounded. Mr.. Barnes was espe-
fiaiiy emphatic In his defence OF his
friend, and for some fine he was listened
90 by large crowd who congregated IN
front Of the office.
Mr.. George u. Waltrip followed and
spoke briefly IN behalf Of Mr. Jones, after
which the board went into executive ses-
sion ana elected Mr. C0wles

ROLLS OF CARPETS STOLEN.
Police Recover Four Rolls Taken
from Clyde Line Wharf.

Berry Christian. colored employee
at the Clyde-Line wharf is a prisoner at
the Second Station, charged with the
theft OF a lot of carpet.
Early yesterday morning Policemen
Goodman and Brown saw several negroes
rolling three or four large bundles across
the street from the Clyde-Line wharf.
The policemen were some distance away,
and before they reached the spot the
men had disappeared. The officers gave
chase and finally located the bundles,
which contained carpets. on a lot at the
corner Of Ash and Poplar streets, but the
thieves had disappeared.
Sergeant John Il. Hall got on the trail
and soon arrested Christian, who rents
three rooms in the house at the corner
OF Poplar and Ash streets. The police
are not inclined 10 believe that Christian
had anything 90 DO with the robbery, al
though he works for the Clyde-I.ine pee
pie, and helped to lock the door OF
the shed in which the carpet was stored.
There are other parties wanted, who
will probably be under arrest very
shortly.
The rolls OF carpet are valued at 500,
and were being unloaded from one OF the
Clyde-IAno steamers.

Engine Left the Track, and Tender
and Car Enter Water.


A rather serious accident. though, for
tunately, one which was not attended
with any loss Of life, occurred on the
Chesapeake and Ohio Connection track
at the foot of Ninth street yesterday

o'clock.
Engine No. 2j6, the hill climber, was
miles an hour with fiat-car and one
boX-car behind. Just after passing onto
the trestle east of the grain elevator
the engine struck defective frog. and
leaving the track, veered TO the right.
passing over to the other track and
colliding violently with the wall around
the elevator came 10 q full stop and the
tender turned over into the dock, being
followed by the hat-car.
Engineer w. ]. Burke was at his lever
when the accident occurred and Fireman
j. II. Butler was in the tender Mr.
Burke, when his engine left the track,
reversed his lever and rushed out on the
running-board, where he remained. When
the tender careened Mr.. Butler sprang
on top of 1t, and as it toppled over into
the water he sprang from il and dived
in the muddy dock, just few feet beyond
the tender He was pulled out uuin-
iured. and Mr.. Burke did not receive
scratch.
The ties on the trestle were splintered
where the heavy engine passed over them
and the track was torn up for con-
siderable distance. The engine was Sc
rously damaged, too. superintendent
Walker was soon on the scene and had
gang of hands clearing the track
Just a short time ago Engine No. 25I
met with a similar accident at the same
spot on the trestle, but that accident was
not attended with as serious results.
