Saved His Life.

Yesterdays Norfolk Virginian-Piio
says:
About 7 o'clock last night. the cap
tain OF the coal barge Charles Foster.
now lying at Latnnberts Point for coal,
left I1ambcrt's Point pier TO go in his
yaWl boat 70 his barge. He was alone
and had almost reached his barge
when his yaWl was overturned by the
swels of the steamer Louise, that was
on its way to Norfolk from Newport
News.
His cries art once attracted attention
on the Louise and she was instantly
stopped and backed up to where tn.
captain was struggling in the water.
He was taken on board and brought
to Norfolk and the yawl dlifled away.
ION the steamer. the captain. who is
a Mason and r. Of r.. 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 ut
Norfolk his fraters took him to the
Atlantic Hotel, where liquors We're
searched for some time along Main
street beofrc he coult! 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 cals-
ed by sWells. He refused to give his
name last night, but threatened 10
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 promptncss no doubt saved
his life"

scented Il lively appearance during the
past few days, a large number of men
and horses having been employed in
scraping snow and preparing in other
ways for harvesting. The ice is al
ready nearly thick enough to house and
should the cold weather continue a few
days longer, the work of harvesting
would begin much earlier than in for
mer years.
The present indications are that a
large crop will be cut. Nearly every
concern along the river is busy just
now and ice men are very hopeful of
prosperous season. Another set of
buildings has just fallen into the hands
of the trust. Charles Russell & Co.
have disposed of their houses at
Stearn's Point, the Consolidated Ice Co.
having purchased the plant.
The change wipes out the firm Of
Charles Russell & Co. on the Kennebec.
The Russells have done business here
for. many years and Richmond people
greatly regret their retirement from
the old buildings. There is ice enough
at the Pairlt to ill the old buildings,
and a crew oflnen will be set at work,
Wednesday morning, getting the field
into condition for active operations.

Russell's for number of years. will
