Thursday

The Washington Post of Thursday
says:
The italian steamship Jupiter. from
Vienna brings n report of having pass
ed in midocean the Norwegian ship Su-
perb adrift and dismantled. The superb
was previously reported abandoned, but
the master Of the Jupiter declares there
were seven or more men aboard her
when he sighted the wreck.
The Superb was abandoned April p
after being dismasted in n gale. Her
crew were rescued by the British bark
Seafarer from San Francisco to Hull
England, in 50 degrees north. 80 degrees
west. the shpwrecked marines being
afterward reported transferred to the
tug Oceana and landed at Portland May
II. 1t was two days afterward, in lati-
tude 53:11, longitude 24:53. the the Jul
pi;er sighted the derelct. showing her
TO have drifted hundreds of miles.
The italian steamship passed the SUI
perb during n terrific blow, which rem
dered it impossible to get alongside. She
however, ran as close as she dared. blew
her whistle, and made signals to the
men aboard the dismasted hulk. which.
not being answered, gave rise to the be-
lief that the men constitute a daring
prize crew put aboard by some passing
vessel unable to take the hulk in tow.

A STARTLING THEORY.
Are the Peninsula Cities on Float.
ing Terra Firma I?
Theory Advanced that Hampton and New
port News May Float Out to Sea Some
Day-Discovory DIado by MIR. Guild = Tho
Sewer Builders BnsIs of Hypothesis.

Mr. Guild, Of Guild & Co., the Chat
tanooga sewer layers. who recently
completed the Fourth ward and the
6ramoieton sewerage in this city, has
startled the people of Hampton by a
theory which he has advanced In that
city.
Mr.. Guilds company is laying the
sewerage of Hampton at present a day
or SO ago in digging at Marsh mar
ket, Il low place in the center of Hamp-
ton, he found that when the tide was
low he had to go four feet before he
struck water, while he struck it at only
two feet at high tide. Upon this and
other like discoveries, he has based the
theory that Hampton. and in fact the
whole lower end of the Virginia PENN
sula is undermined by the tide of Ches-
apeake Bay and the Atlantic ocean, that
1T IS merely II floating piece of terra
frma, as II were.
The exploitation OF this theory has
naturally put the people of Hampton
to thinking. 1t is startling in its very
self-'to think of two cities, Hampton
and Newport Ncws-'built on floating
land.
The demonstration Of the correctness
OF such a theory would mean the loss of
millions of dollars in real estate to
Newport News and Hampton's people
that is eventually, for q common
sense view Of the theory leads to the
belief that in time. it would mean the
sweeping away OF the part of the pen
insula undermined by the tide.
SO startling, indeed. is the theory that
but little credence Will be given 1t. at
least until further proof Is shown of its
correctness. If Hampton as the inevita-
Bile conclusion that Old Point. with two
OF the finest hotels in the country and
Fortress Monroe, the strongest coast
defense on the Atlantic coast. are also
n part OF the gigantic float which rises
and falls with the mighty tide as 1t
sweeps in and out, SO gradually. evenly
and noiselessly that no demonstration
has ever yet occurred. 1t is true that
the people of Hampton were 7nystified
sometime ago when the foundation of
the new bank of Hampton. composed
of nearly two feet OF solid concrete mat
ter, In one rise of the tide was crack
ed from one end to the other.
Mr.. Guilds theory is that the lower
