$YAWL, CONTAINING CAPTAIN OF
COAL BARGE. CAPSIZED.
About 2 o'clock last night, the cap
tain of the coal barge Charles Foster,
now lying at Lamberts Point for coal,
left Lambert's Point pier to go. in his
Syawl boat to his barge. He was alone
and had almost reached his Barge
when his yawl was overturned by the
sweils of the steamer Louise, that was
on Its way to Norfolk from Newport
News.
His cries at once attracted attention
on the Louise and she was Instantly
stopped and backed up to where the
He was taken on board and brought
to Norfolk and the yawls drifted away,
On the steamer, the captain, who Is
a Mason and *. OF p, was taken in
charge by some brothers OF the order,
who did what they could for him. He
was -uninjured, but feared bad results
from his cold plunge. On arrival at
Norfolk his fraters took him to the
Atlantic Hotel, where liquors were
given him to ward off chills. He then
searched for some time along Main
street before he could find a store
open and replace his lost hat.
The captain states that the Louise
did not strike his yawl, as reported
on the streets but his overturn was
caused by swells. He refused to give
his name last night. but threatened to
bring proceedings against the officers
of the Louise. He admitted. however,
that they acted very promptly when
his boat went over and he called for
help. Their promptness no doubt saved
his life.

cent victim.

Early yesterday morning news reach
ed Norfolk of another tragedy at the
farm of o. I. Flemming, in Princess
Anne county. Yirginian-Pilot repor-
ter at once went to the scene and on
arrival at the Flemming farm, found
a guard at the gate with orders to keep
out all unwelcome visitors.
After some formality the reporter
was allowed TO go up to the house,
where Flemming and his victim and a
number Of others were. The body of the
victim lay on the ground in front Of the
house, covered with some old rags.
ATTACKED BY A MOB.
Flemining's story was as follows. He
was alarmed about o'clock yesterday
morning by the sound of voices around
his house. and got his gun. He heard
some one trying TO get into his front
door: He went up stairs, out in the
porch, aimed his gun ut man at the
front door and fired. This was the sig
nal for a volley. of bullets from q body
of men who were around his house.
Then he ran down stairs and saw a
man In his hail. fIe fired at him, but
the man escaped. Flemming states that
there were at least forty men in the
crowd
THE VICTIM.
The man whom Flemming shot is q
stranger in these parts. He was short,
thick set, appeared to be about 80 years
Of age, was somewhat bald, had SAN
dy mustache, had on no stockings or
underwear, and was dressed in old,
shabby clothing and old shoes. The
man fell when shot and quickly died,
on the front door step where he fell
with several balls in his head. A rifle
found near him appeared to have been
carried by him and In his pockets were
about forty rifle cartridges, mainly
shorts. but some long
Flemming shot with shotgun and
the victim received the gunshot and
one ball back OF his right ear. They
poughed through and came out n lit.
tie above his left ear, leaving a terrible
wound.

THE MYSTERIOUS STRANGER.
DOUBTS THAT FLEMMINGs VIC.
TIM WAS WITH A NOR.


TIM WAS WITH A MOB.
General surprise was expressed yes
terday at the mystery surrounding the
stranger killed by Flemming on his
(Flemming's) front porch yesterday
morning.
1nasmuch as no members of the at
lacking party have said anything to
throw light on his identity it is sug-
gested that the stranger may have been
hunting, lost his way and went to Elem
mlng's house to inquire his way, or. per-
maps to request the privilege of stay
ing all night.
The presence Of the rife ande cart
ridges in his pocket are believed nv
some to indicate that he had been hunt.
ing and no fclonlous intent on Elem
ming's life. The fact that he appears
| to be an entire stranger in this section
and without any special interest in tba
affairs of this section incline some TO
the belief above outlined.
1t may yet be learned that Elem
ming's victim was entirely innocent of
any unlawful designs.
a few persons last night even ex
pressed doubts about the story of a mob.
and said that 1t was possible that FIan, !,
ming, after killing the man., went out
and fired the balls into his house in
order to give an air Of truth to his
story. This view is given merely for
what It Is worth.
When interviewed yesterday by n
Virginian-P reporter Flemming an
peared quite unconcerned and. as the
reporter met Mrs. Flemmlng, there was
n smile on her face, despite the fact
that the blood and brains OF the slaugh-
tered man covered their doorstep and
his body lay out in the yard.
Flemming remarked ut the inconyen-
fence he was put to and said HE had

Among the investments made by our
late fellow citizen, Chester T. Caller,
probably none was more lucrative, and
in every way satisfactory, than two
policies in The Mutual Life Insurance
Company OF New York, aggregating
$4,000, which have recently been paid
by the company. The first Of. these poll
Giles was for $4,000. and was taken out
In 1895. The second for $4,000 was taken
out in 1897. Mr.. Caller had paid in prem
iums but $3.50. leaving a return to his
estate over the cost OF his insurance of
SLIGO. In selecting The Mutual Lifo
MIR. Caller showed the sagacity which
characterized all his business dealings.
This great company has no peer, either
IN the good which 1t has done In the
past or in it's power for good In the
future, as is proved by the fact that
UP to July 1. 1899. it had paid to poll
cy-holders more than $4,000 900, and
on that date Its assets exceeded s2Ss.-
100000. These figures show that The
Mutual Life is by far the largest and
strongest insurance company In the
world.
