parents Yesterday at Hampton.
1t Will be remembered that the little
fellow found his way to the home OF
Mr.. w. o. Bowers, of Lambert's Point,
to whom he confidede his tale of woe.
MIR. Bowers wrote to the chief of po-
lice or Newport News. and laid the
facts before him, the boy having stated
that he thought his father was in that
city.
Chief Howard began a search for Mr..
Curtis. and yesterday found him in
Hampton and notified Mr.. Bowers. The
boy was sent to Newport News in

THE BELT LINE HALLWAY.
RAPID INCREASE OF TRAFFIC
MAKES NEW RULES NECEs-

And now comes the news that the
increase Of business of the Belt Line
railroad since It's opening Is considera-
Die more than 100 per cent, and that
the rules established at the opening of
this great benefit to this port are be-
ing revised and new arrangements to
care for the great and increasing bulk
or traffic are being made.
sixty cars par day was the start, or
the bulk of traffic about three weeks
after the line was opened, or at the
time the Virginiap- Pilot reporter took
MS trip over the line with Superinten-
cent (then acting) Shafer, of the Belt
NOW $50 to IT'S per day is the average
and the Increase is so rapid that the
new year will probably see 1t cool 200
cars almost at the opening of January.
Formerly the big bridge across the
southern Branch kept it's draw open all
mlgnt and only the red and green side
iishts were necessary, as the bridge
was not used at night. Now the bridge
carries Its red lights as well and night
ana day trains are both run. AS the
SAIL and steam traffic of the river were
iar IN preponderance at the start. the
bridge was kept open the most of the
time, only being closed on the an
proach of train, and the fine gasoline
engine could get up power for moving
the draw at any time In ten to fifteen
minutes. This has not been changed
yet, but Superintendent Shafer sees in
the near future a need for other rules
fast being forced upon him. and 1T NAV
not be further off than another year.
when the opening of the bridge for
navigation's uses and otherwise keep
ING 1t closed for train traffic will be
the rule.
This road was built with roadbed and
accommodations for four tracks. and
the need of all four is not thought to
be far distant. Property all along the
line is on the rise In value as manu-
factories and shops anywhere along its
tracks are by 1t made contiguous to
any road running into or out of Nor
The new arrangements for the use
OF the bridge necessitated a visit To
the Harbor Board and their ruling on
the number, description and position of
iiehts to be used on the bridge and
draw at night. This Mr.. Shafer has
attended to and the new rules will
soon be promulgated.
