ILL-FATED ISLANDS.
THE "TEXAS FEVER" CURSE FAs-
TENED ON THE ISLAND
HERDS

DR.. Geo. c. Faville and DR.. Chas. Nc
Culloch, State Veterinarian, have re-
turned to Norfolk after q visit of in
spection to Chincoteague and Assatea-
que islands. where they went to inves-
;igate the outbreak of Texas fever"
among the herds of those islands.
They found that some time last Nav
two schooner loads Of ticky Eastern
North Carolina cattle were turned out
on Assateasue beach: that they scat
tered their ticks over the grazing lands
OF the native herds, and as a result OF
this infection about fifty OF the native
cattle have died from Southern cattle
fever, and quite number OF others
arc sick with this disease.
The loss to the islanders is very great.
as the cattle and horses constitute the
bulk OF their property. It is estimated
that there are about 700 head of cattle
on these islands and the owners are
confronted with the probable loss of n
large portion of their herds.
The mermaids they have dressed
INA cattle to these islands was a direct
violation of the law, both State and
Federal. and the spread of the disease
is striking demonstration OF the ne
cessity of the strict enforcement Of tho
quarantine laws
The matter is In the hands of the
proper authorities, and it is safe to as
sumo that the laws will be enforced.

CHARGES PREFERRED AGAINST

1t will be recalled that during the
late yellow fever scare Governor Tyler
placed the Virginia oyster navy at the
disposal of the quarantine authorities
of this port. and that Captain Hudgins,
commander of the Chesapeake, prompt
~ reported for duty. lnasmuch as his
men had enlisted for service entirely
different from yellow fever patrol ne.
i'll a spirit Of fairness. gave them the
option of leaving or remaining with
Kim Nearly the entire crew left.
1t is said that the men who left their
commander in the hour Of imaginary
danger are now engaged in persecut-
Ing him. Report has it that they have
preferred charges against him before
the Board OF Fisheries. Just what these
charges are cannot be definitely stated,
but 1t Is reported that one is to the
effect that he did not properly feed his
men. There are others. which are said
to be equally as absurd.
II IS also reported that the Board Of
Fisheries has decided against Captain

TO REACH MANUFACTURERS.
Tho special object of this company is
to impress upon every manufacturer in
the United States the advantages OF
the Norfolk section for manufactures
OF all kinds. Messrs. Myers and
Schmoele are we'll known rs representa-
tives of very large landed interests in
this section. Among the Inducements
TO be offered are free sites for manu-
featuring plants.
TWELVE FACTORIES IN SIGHT.
These gentlemen are already in cor
rcSpondence with twelve large manu-
facturers with a view to securing the
removal of their plants to this section.
The promoters of the new company will
avoid local sectionalism In their work.
so that Norfolk, Portsmouth and Berk-
ley, with their envrons, will all profit
by their efforts.
As soon as organized the company
Will prepare large quantities of mat

LYONS AND SARGEANT
This Will Be the Ticket Named by
Thursdays Convention.
NV. Whitehead sun Claims victory
Though Some OF His Friends are
Inclined to Conccdo Ills Defeat
He VIII Lack Several Votes.

The nominat tons to be made in this
city for the House of Delegates were
the topic most discussed in political
circles yesterday, and various opinions
were expressed. According TO some
Mr. NJ. ]. Lyons. the tailor, and Mr.. w.
II. Sergeant. Jr.. will be the nominees
of next Mondays convention, and ac-
cording to the others this honor will be
bestowed upon Mr.. Lyons and Mr.. John
Whitehead.
The convention. which will meet
Thursday at the Real Estate Exchange,
on Main street. will be composed of
thirty-one delegates. Alr. Sergeant, it
is said by some shrewd political observ-
erS VIII receive the vote of IS or 20 of
these delegates. The highest concession
made to Mr. Whitehead is 13 votes
eight of which will come from Bram-
bleton
Mr.. Whitehead claims about 90 votes.
Some of his friends. however. are not
so liberal in their estimates. and place
his strength at 10 or II votes, a bare
majority Others of his friends are in
clincd 10 conceGc his defeat by u ma
jority of one or two.
In speaking of his canvass Mr.
Whitehead, while confidently claiming
victory, admits that he is handicapped
by what he calls the opposition OF the
Tyler people in the city. He claims to
have been Il more active Martin man
than Mr.. Sargent and has. as II con-
sequence, he says. incurred the greater
part Of the wrath of the Tyler sup
Dortcrs.- which he thinks viii work
against him, despite The fact that every
delegate chosen is a hartman and
instructed that way besides.
There may be some truth in the
statement that the Tyler men are in
clined toward Mr.. Sergeant as against
Mr.. Whitehead. one OF the reasons for
which is that before the City Executive
Committee Mr.. Sergeant advocated n
primary. while Mr.. Whitehead spoke
for ward meetings. The Tyler mon had
a representative at that meeting ask
ing for a primary. and it is natural that
the spirit of fair play manifested by
Mr.. Sergeant should have appealed to
them in contrast with Mr. Whitchcad's
position. However. it may be truly said
that the Tyler mon are taking no part
in the fight having been denied what
they considered the only fair way OF
expressing their choice.
