For Sale.
The Finest Grain and Stock
Farm in Eastern Va.

Situated twenty miles west of Peters
burg and within four of the Norfolk and
Western r. II. The tract contains two
thousand three hundred and ffty-seven
acres, about One-fifth OF which is table
land and rich creek bottom, the uplands
are gently undulating; not hill on the
place. Soil is a clay lOam and very pro-
ductive the bottoms are as fine timothy
lands as any in the State and produce
heavy crops of grain. The farm is
beautifully watered by springs and
streams. There are two residences
(abOut one and a half miles apart; one
contains eleven large rooms, several
halls, closets. pOrches, &c, the other
six rooms. There are the usual farm
houses such as barns, tenant houses,
granary, &c.
Some excellent fruit-Apples, Peaches,
Cherries, Grapes, &c. Theirs is not
a more delightful home or healthier one
in the State. l am too old to manage
it, and to make a speedy sale offer it
at the low price of Twelve dollars per
acre, less than l have ever offered it.
This tract would cut up into a dozen
fine farms, but l wish t" sell it as a
whole. Deer, Turkey, Quail, &c, in
abundance.

last fall and am now the owner instead

per acre instead of Twelve. Adjoining
lands are held at higher prices. Capt.
Griffin was offered twenty-five thous-
and dollars cash for the farm and re-
fused it, holding them at $500 per acre.
There is Il fine opportunity for some one

BURGLARS AT RENDHAM.
Stewart Parsonage Entered-Intrud-
er Frightened Off.

Burglars were operating at Rend-
ham early yesterday morning but so
far as reported they made no haul.
About l o'clock the family of Rev. J..
L. Race, occupying the Stewart Mem
orial parsonage, heard a noise in the
house like the falling of dishes, but
paid no attention to it at the time.
Later Mrs. Race heard a noise in the
front yard and saw a man there. She
asked what he wanted and he replied,
"a drink of water" at the same time
jumping over the fence and running
down the street.
a neighbor also saw the fellow and
fired two shots at him, but without
effect. Later three men in a rickety
wagon with one horse drove down the
street, the men acting as though they
were drunk. 1t was undoubtedly an
organized gang of thieves. One man
tended the horse, and one stood watch
while the third was in the parsonage
1t was not learned until the men had
driven away that the parsonage had
really been entered. A window was
opened and there was other evidences
that the man had been in the dining
room. Evidently he was frightened
off by the noise of the dishes he had
disturbed.
Nothing was taken from the house
The visitor was lucky in getting away
SO easily as Rev. Races son, w. F
Race, motorman for the Scranton rail
way company was home and had {
loaded revolver ready for service.

AGAINST ANTHRACITE.
Navy Gives Reasons Why 1t Will
Not Be Used.

w. X. Lord, of IShamokin, secretary
of the recently formed Anthracite AS
sociation, and who was in Scranton
Tuesday, is in receipt of letter from
the Navy Department in Washinton,
in answer to his communication rela-
tive to the use of anthracite coal in
the navy.
1t says that the bureau is opposed to
the design of boilers for the use of an
thracite fuel for many practical and
strategic reasons, which may be brief
ly stated as follows: First, the low rate
of combustion of anthracite coal with
natural draft, thus involving greater
weight and space for boilers to give
the same power. Second practical
impossibility to secure anthracite coal
except on our own Atlantic coast. so
that bituminOus coal would have to he
used elsewhere. Third, the greater
length of time required to change the
condition of the fires from slow to
rapid production of steam with an
thracite than with bituminous coal.
great strategic disadvantage.

SAME OLD FLIM-FLAM.
North End Clerk was Worked by the
Usual Process.

Yesterday afternoon a well-known
gambler and shark, well dressed and
carrying with him a large supply of
nerve, walked into the store of c. H.
Crossmah, in the North End, and or
dered package of tobacco. Upon re-
ceiving the tobacco he handed in pay
ment a ten-dollar bill.
When the clerk handed him S995 in
change he remarked that it was rather
bulky and that if the clerk would re-
