Great Damage to shipping ut New

NEWPORT NEWS, VA, February TO-
Especial )-Great masses Of ice are float
ing about I'm the harbor and playing havoc
with shipping. AS a result of the action
OF this, two schooners are at the bottom
Of James river below Pier S, and many
more vessels of all classes have received
injuries to a greater or less extent. me
Inflated three-master Pasadena. aboard
of which a murder vas committed about
ten days ago. and the three-master NJ. ;.
Jordan which came here for a cargo OF
coal, were sunk by the ice beating con-
stantly against their bows and working
holes in them. The crews Of the vessels
worked vaiantly at the pumps as long
as there was any possible chance OF keep
ing the vessels ahoat and then abandoned
them. To raise the schooners VIII be an
expensive task The Pasadena has been
in port about two weeks. She is loaded
with a cargo of lumber and was bound
from Charleston TO New York.
All other craft i'm the harbor which have
not been able 10 secure a berth at the
wharves have suffered more or less Sc
riously. Masts. houses, jibbooms. anchors.
lifeboats. rigging, rails, headgear, and va
rlous parts are swept away, and the YES
sells are more or less battered and gorged
by the floating ice The large lake barge
Gregor. which was loaded with cargo
OF coal and at anchor in the stream, had
a hard time withstanding the onslaught
of the ice, and in all probability wouid
have gone down had tugs not rescued her.
As n was. she lost her foremost and pilot
house. The NJ. S. Bacon, another lake
barge also loaded with coal, had a sinl-
lar experience. The barge Alabama coal

lost her rails on both sides and her head

NEW RAILROAD SCHEME,
Across the State Of North Carolina
DanXiIIe Interested.


DANVILLE, VA. February 16.-(Spe-
c.aL)-Much interest is manifested here
Boz the announcement Of projected rail
road 10 cross North Carolina from north
90 south, the northern terminus TO be Vir-
gliua. on the southern border of Halifax
county. Va, and the southern end at Co
lumbia. 5. c. Particulars were obtained
to-day from Colonel John 5. Cunningham,
~ North Carolina, who was in the city
tlls morning. previous publication re-
garding the line, consisting IN brlef an
uouncement from Raleigh by the intro
duction OF a charter Of Incorporation in
the General Assembly.
The corporators of the North and
South Carolina Railroad" are authorized
by the terms Of the charter to construct
and operate railway from Virginia 10
Columbia, a distance Of 40 miles. 1t will
traverse the magnificent copper-belt dis
trict, IN which are located the Blue Wing
and Yancey mines, recently purchased by
Boston capitalists, who are spending
large sums in developing their claims. The
counties through which the new road
IS projected include Randolph Aamance.
and Arson, where cotton manufactures
have been established and are making
that section notable for textile produc-
ton.
The claim Is made by promoters that
the cOpper-mines and cotton-factories
alone will furnish a paying tonnage. and
that the new line will neither parallel nor
come in competition with any other road.
The North and South Carolina railroad is
for tine development OF a new country,
and its construction is advocated as a
commercial necessity in a region OF the
Old North State that i'm the last few years
has assumed Industrial Importance.
Colonel Cunningham. who is one OF the
corporators. informed the Dispatch repre-
sentative that contamination OF plans
was almost assured. Capital for the con-
struction OF the road will be furnished
largely by English financiers. Five million
dollars Is the estimated cost OF the l0
miles OF track and complete equipment.
Colonel Cunningham based his assurance
OF the lines construction upon a CONVEX
sation he had with one Of the promoters,
who has just returned from England.
This gentleman, he said. informed him
Vat the Englishmen stood ready TO build
'he road Immediately upon the grant Of
ine charter.
The building OF the road would be of
Importance 20 Danville as furnishing an
