New Trouble. Other
Local News.

Hampton. like all other important
and progressive towns. has people
with ideas, but to Newport News be-
longs the distinction of possessing a
citizen with perhaps the oldest notion
that ever entered the head OF q sane
man. His name is I>iddick. He came
here day before yesterday and after
taking in the town in a harmless way
was taken in by q policeman in the
evening. Mr.. Itddck. it is said, was
quietly enjoying himself in the vicini-
" to King and Queen streets, when his
strange behavior and still stranger ut
terances called attention to him. Upon
being approached by Officer knewstep
he said that he was employed as a
boilermaker in the shipyard at New
port News and that he intended to re-
turn to his work the following day.
Mir. knewstep offered to render Rid
dick any necessary assistance, but in
stead OF ava!lng himself Of the OFF,
GERS aid. the latter proceeded TO in
form him that he had been accused OF
stealing diamonds from we'll known
lady in this city and he wanted TO
prove himself innocent OF the charge
before going away. This set Mr.. Knew
step to thinking and II messenger was
at once dispatched for the husband Of
the lady. When the gentleman was
found he told Mr. knewstep that his
wife had lost no jewels and that they
were probably confined to the head of
Mr. Riddick. Despite the denial, the
man insisted that he was charged with
stealing the diamonds and insisted
that the matter should be fully inves-
tigated How he learned the name of
the lady in question is not known. He
is a. stranger here and so far as any
body is aware has no acquaintance IN

Annie Jacobs. a well-to-do woman

appears to have become suspicious and

But her frantic efforts had not been
in vain. Some one who heard the
rumpus she had created began an in
vestigation which brought to light the
fact that the Jacobs woman. fearing
that Virginia might take fright ana
run away, decided that the only pru-
dent course was to lock her up for safe
keeping until the next term Of the
county court, when the case. carried

tons advanced by Virginia to the ar

Weyler's plan OF recommendation. the
Jacobs woman having. 1t is said. failed
to provide nourishment for her pris-
oner.
Mayor Hope caused the woman
release and Mr.. Collier told her that
if she would leave town and stay away
she would have no further trouble,
She was pleased with the idea and
promised to pack up and leave.

HEALTH OF THE TROOPS.

Now is the time to prove the boastcd
advance in sanitation. medicine and
surgery. Heretofore far more soldiers
nave been lost and disabled by disease
than by bullets This waste Of life in
these times should be prevented to a
great extent. Rapid lines of commune
cation with an army are so numerous
that hospitals can be placed at health
full locations and all surroundings
made favorable. AS far as the l25.000
volunteers are concerned they are not
likely to go to Cuba very soon. Their
camps should be models in every re-

Will Fight 1t.
Since the formation Of the Hampton
Roads Social Club, composed Of some
thirty odd Newport News gentlemen.
q similar organization, made up OF
Hampton men. has been charter
ed and will have its headquarters at
or near the Bay View Hotel, which, as
everybody knows. is situated but q
stones throw from the summer
resort established by Mr.. Darling on
the shore of Chesapeake Bay. The
association will be known as the Buck

are j. C. Wood. Z. S. Jones, r. r..

the moment that the Buckroe

been supported by the best people IN
the town and country. Not only
to sell Intoxicating drinks on the prem

Of cash, Mr.. Darling has been success
full. Such is the light in which lead
ing citizen of the county stated the
case yesterday morning.
Now there is to be a fight In view
Of the fact that the headquarters of
the Euckroe Social Club are to be with
in hailing distance Of the hotel. Mr..
Darling proposes to fight the applica-
Quor license.
1t was learned last night that MY.
Darling hns abandoned the idea of
fighting the licensing of the new club,
as under the law enacted by the late
legislature the judge of the county
court is compelled to grant It, Indeed
it is said that the matter is not one for
the Judge to decide-that all that is
necessary is for the members to apply
to the commissioner of the revenue
and obtain a license the same as an at
tOrney.
In an interview last night Mr.. Wal
| ter Holt, the secretary. said that the
club does not in any way intend to in
:erfere with Mr.. Darling. The law.
