HEATING PLANS CHANGED.

'considerab BILE delay in perfecting the
new heating arrangements of the Bap-
fist church has been caused by a change
or plans which will necessitate the UNI
doing OF the work already done and re-
quire it's being done alt oTer again. AS
begun and nearly completed the pipes
conveying the steam were run W. near
the ceiling along the side walls of the
church and thence down to connect with
the radiators. According to the new
plan all the pipes must be located under
the floors. To do this will require a lit
tie time. as there Is small space between
the church floor and the ground in
which to make the connections and run
the pipes. When completed, however.
the warming arrangements will make
the church thoroughly comfortable.

FACTS FROM "FEHIrS I"

Notes and Gossip From the Hustliny
Town on Mill Creek
A little deal in real estate yesterday
became public. by which Il valuable
piece of property on Mcllcn stree,
changes owners. Mr.. r. j. Hcvan a
gentleman from Pennsylvania, has p,lr-
chased Of Mi. J. S. Wyatt Il desirable
store house and lot on Mcllen street
paying therefor $500. 1t is said to be
the intention of the new owner To en-
gage in business in his newly acquired
quarters, opening Il bakery there
Real estate is being bought and sold
frequently in this section and uniln-
proved property is in demand at any
thing like reasonable prices. The prop
erty bought and sold is for business or
residence purposes and not for spccula-
ton. though there have been several
purchases of blocks OF lots for specula-
tive purposes. So far as heard the spec
ulators have divided their purchases
into lots of desirable Dimensions ana
sold them off at an advance and to tn,
satisfaction of the purchasers. There is
too. marked building activity in vari-
Gus quarters of the town. some of them
substantial and ornate residences
Messrs. w. Carney and a. Rivers are
building residences, and Norfolk Barnes
is rebuilding his partially burned store
house at what is llown as Barnes Cor
ner. Many small dwellings are going
up and quite Il village is being built In
the vicinity of the new hospital and JUST
! across the track therefrnn Some Or
| these houses are being built as homes
by thrifty men of moderate income and
others will be used as business houses
MI. e. NJ. Tennis yesterday stated, in
reply to Il reporters query. that no ac-
ton had been taken by himself and 9th
er owners OF oyster beds in Mil Creek
IN the vicinity of the new hospital but
thnt some action to recover damages
from The government for the injury d rne
to their oyster crops by the contiguous
location OF the hospital would be
taken The employing of the sew
er, by which the hospital was
drained. into Mill Creek had certainly
destroyed the sale of oysters taken from
the creek. whether the quality and
wholesomeness OF the oysters had been
impaired or not. Mr.. Tennis stated that
he would himself eat no oysters taken
rom the creek, into which all the dis
charge matter and noXiouS drainage
from the hospital had been empticd
County Police Officer Richard Gid

THE NEW RAILWAY SCHEME

Many Welcome the Project Warmly.
While Others are Skeptical
me announcement of the plan of the
peninsula Railway Company to build a
new line from Newport News to Hanp-
Ton and perhaps farther caused a ripple
OF surprise and created considerable in
tercSt here today A variety of opin-
IONS was evoked. some warmly com
mending the scheme others skeptical
as to its fruition. and still others whose
attitude may be inferred form their ex-
preston, Wei, let it come; the more
the merrier.'' '
One prominent citizen, with whom the
reporter talked. was very enthusiastic
over the enterprise when he heard the
proposed route outlined,-and it may be
added that he owns no property along
the line. Sucn 81 i.iie. he declared. would
develop the whole of Elizabeth City
county and would. If operated. build up
a suburb of Hampton now undeveloped
but naturally desirable if made easily
accessible. While the road would nee
essarily compete with the existing line
it would not do so in the same way as
would a parallel line. and the people
would be the benefciaries of competi-
ton, in the way of better service and,
perhaps, of cheaper fare.
Others with whom the reporter talked
rather secuted the idea that the new
line would ever be built. but merely did
SO on the belief that two lines could not
flourish and assigned no other specific
reason for supposing that the new
scheme would not materialize Just
why the new company should go to the
expense of employing lawyers and APP
plying for expensive franchises is not
explained by those who doubt the mate
REALIZATION of the scheme.
Messrs Causey and Livezey, who pre-
scented the matter before the council
Tuesday evening, left the impression
that the eastern terminus OF the pro-
posed line was not yet definitely deter
mined. Certainly. if it has been, the
projectors of the scheme have not yet
made it public. 1t may be that it has
not yet been positively determined.
Messrs. Payne and Zollicoffer presi-
dent and secretary Of the Newport
News and Old Point Railway ana Elec-
trio Company, were on the streets of
Hampton bright and early yesterday
| morning but whether their presence
| here had and connection with the an
plans is a matter of conjecture.
1t is reported that the new manage
| ment of the old road are contemplating
| the extension Of their Buckroe branch
to Fox Hill. but time alone will tell
whether there is anything in the rumor

Peninsula line built, Elizabeth City

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

Urn SlOCh M l..
NEW YORK. Nov. 4-There was
some tiutter among the shorts in sugar
this morning, on the report that the
American company had acquired the
entire Hawaiian crop. Operators who
had been selling the stock on the be-
the Hawaiian sugar industry, of the
loss involved in the present rate for
selling the refined sugar. FASTENED to
cover their short contracts and rushed
the price up Ia points. The price was
sustained with difficulty. which increas-
ed is the day progressed SO that the
stock closed with a net loss, in spite
of the dissemination of the rumors that
the company was in a way to secure
the Louisiana also.
Tobacco also. although it rose in the
early trading dropped over three points
bfore the close which was at a net de-
cline of 3S. The trading in the
speciakies WAS hardly as active as of
late and the federal steel stocks were
also rather neglected and inclined to
heaviness. In the railroad list there
were various points of aggressive
strength and a broadening tendency.
The division of business is somewhat
eQualified by the falling off activity
III the granSers and Pacifics. especially
the latter. the preferred stocks of which
did not offer single quotation until
some time after the opening of the cx-
change. On the other hand tener was

rose over point nthe strength OF
the continued increase in earnings
which was over $4,000 for the fourth
week in October and s1o0.70O for the
month. The southern roads were quite
uniformly strong also notable gains be-
ing registered by Louisville on behalf

expenses so as show Il de-

BE SURE AND VOTE.

Republican voters all over the State
should remember that the Republican
party has most gloriously triumphed
when the full vote of the State was
cast, and that the Republican majority
has always been the smallest when the
voters neglected their duty and failed
to go to the polls and register their
preference for the State and county
officials.
It may be difficult to reach the polls
on election day, but voters should
remember that it is duty they owe to
the State to not allow this difficulty to
prevent them from casting their vote
It is needed just as bad in what is
termed an ''off year" as it is during a
year of Presidential election.
Start for the polls early in the morn
ing and while you are en- route for the
little school house or town hall mile
or SO away, and you happen to see q
brother farmer or toiler working in the
field, stop your team long enough to
ask him to 60 over and vote.
Get every vote out.

MAKE THEM PAY.

There are two things that should be
kept uppermost in the minds of voters
in casting their votes for the Legislative
candidates next November. The first
point is that the Republican nominees
if elected, are to cast their votes fol
the return of Hon. Cushman Kellogg
Davis to the Senate of the United
States. It may be said that Mr.
Davis will have enough votes, anyway
without the members from this or that
district. but voter will not be true tC
Senator Davis who casts his vote for a
Democrat or Populist, simply be-
cause he happens to be a friend of the
candidate.
