HORD HAS A SYNDICATE
WANTS LEGISLATURE TO PERMIT
CAPITALIZATION UP TO S2,5OO,OOO
SurmiSed to Have Some Bearing on
the Local water Works
Situation.

Senator Early introduced a bill yesterday
which provides that hereafter companies
may be organized in this State with capt.
talization of any amount up to S2,50O0O0
under the voluntary association law. This
law now restricts such associations to a
capital of $4,000.
Senator Early in discussing the bill. said
that it had been introduced by him in re-
Spouse to a request by a syndicate headed
by William b. Hord. which wished to capt.
talize at 81, 100000 at once. He was not aware
of the nature of the business the syndicate
wished to engage in. Mr.. Hord was not in
the city last night.
Mr.. Hord is the promoter who attempted
to close up the deal with the city for the
sale of the water works plant short time
ago, and it was surmised yesterday that the
bill, perhaps, contemplated a new move in
this direction. Mayor Taggart said last
night that he had not heard from Hord
since his last effort to bring the city and
the company together. He hardly thinks
the bill of Senator Early has any bearing
on the local situation. HOrd is interested
in other water works schemes over the
State.

MISTOOK STEAM FOR SMOKE.
Fire Department Called to Down
Town Buildings.

Last night excited individuals imagined
that jets of steam escaping were spires of
smoke from bad fires, and the fire depart
ment was called to two places, where there
was really no need of its presence. The first
run was to L. S. Ayres's dry goods store
on Washington street. A great volume of
white vapor was curling up over the build
ing and it was not discovered to be steam
until after the water tower was raised
While the firemen were preparing TO hght
fire in this quarter another alarm came in
calling the department to the 1Bga aI
sylvania streets Inside the building, on the
second floor. white vapor was found escap-
hallway After the wainscoting was torn
off the fremen discovered that this was
only steam, as Simon Yandes, who rooms
near by, informed them. Messrs. Winslow,
Thomas and Jones, working in the office Of
the Big Four on the floor above, saw steam
escaping through the f1ue OF the crate and
thought It was smoke. They deluged the tiue
with water. No particular harm was done in
either case.

FISH ARE DYlNG.

ARE DYING IN THIS SECTION.


a few days ago the Virginian- Pilot
noted the fact that the little alewives
i'll Mahone's Lake were dying by mil
lions. This species Of fish seems to be
especially delicate and readily killed by
unfavorable conditions. About three
years ago similar occurrence was
noted ut Mahone's Lake.
The cause OF their death is unknown
and can hardly be satisfactorily con-
jccturcd.
Last night a similar condition was
seen to exist all over the north shore OF
1'ut In Creek. at Client. The fish there
died By millions yesterday, and the
wind and tide have piled them high on
the north shore.
with the hot sun beating on them to-
day they will decay rapidly and breed
Il stencil that VIII be not only highly
UNPLEASANT. but particularly dangerous
one theory is that the FISH were poison
ed somewhere along shore where refuse
from some factory or factories is dump
ed or discharged into the water. The
WINDS Will probably continue to bring
these dead fish into Put In Creek unless
the mouth of tho creek is closed to
them. One gentleman suggested that
floating timbers be placed at the mouth
OF this and other creeks in order to
Keep them out He also stated that the
iiSh now lying on the north shore of tho
creek are so numerous that the Board
OF Iealth should see to their removal.
