He was not well. but there was not the

There is one gray-haired and gray

CREW ON SHORE LEAVE.
1t was day of rest aboard the yacht
yesterday, and all of the crew except
two watchmen either were away on shore
leave or else spent their time lounging
about and smoking their pipes on the
deck of the Nonowantuc. They had dis
carried their suits OF white duck for
trousers and shirts Of nayy-bue. and
their white canvas sun hats for jaunty
black sailor caps with the name sham
rock on the ribbon in gold letters.
Some of the Scotch tars went TO Coney
Island TO take a look at the Bowery, the
fame of which had reached the other
side, while others were shown through
the Bowery by American friends. The
canny Scotchnen could not be induced TO
open their eyes at any of the sights
shown them, for they had seen the same
thing in Glasgow many a time afore."
There seems to be considerable fOunda-
ton for the repeated stories that the
aluminium plates, Of which the Sham
rocks topsides are made, are fast COR

strakes on the port and starboard sides
there are dozens Of blotcnes where cor

THE WEST VIRGINIA CENTRAL.

atiux for Its Purchase.

LOT
A Cumberland (Md) special In yester-
days Baltimore Sun says:
"Mr. Benjamin A. Richmond has re-
turned from New York, where he con-
ferred with Senator Elkins. ex-senator
Davis. and Mr. X. c. Kerens relative 10
railroad matters. Mr.. Richmond was
shown a publication which found Its
origin in financial circles in New York to
the effect that the Baltimore and Ohio,
OF the various roads named, was most
likely to absorb the West Virginia Cen
trail, which the gentlemen above named
practically own. Mr.. Richmond admitted
TO a certain prospective, consolidation OF
railroad interests between the West Nir-
ginia Central Line and persons repre-
senting the Seaboard Air system, but said
there was nothing in the report that the
Baltimore and Ohio was likely 10 acquire
any interest In the West Virginia Cen
trail, but just the contrary. The deal now
pending, he said, involved the building Of
a projected connecting link from Elkins
down the Greenbrier river to the Chesa-
peake and Ohio railway. and also new
line through Eastern West Virginia and
Virginia to the York river. He further
said tbat the legal part of the work had
been arranged between the attorney for
the opposite interest and himself in New
York on Friday, but that the consumma-
ton Of the arrangements, IL finally made,
will not be accomplished for a week or
two yet"
President John SHELTON Williams, Of
the Seaboard Airline. when shown the
above, said 1t was incorrect, in so far as
it referred to the system Of which he is
the official head. 1--WE have no idea Of
buying the West Virginia Central" he
said. very positively. There have not
been any negotiations looking to such a
purchase. nor are there likely to be any.
