WOLVES IN HEREFORD COUNTY.
FARMERS LOSE HEAVILY IN COMO
SECTION


Mr.. c.. c. Picat, of Como. n. c.. was
in Norfolk yesterday and told to n rep
reSentative of this paper wonderful
story of pack of wolves that has in
tested the track of timber at the in
tersection of the Chowan and Meherrin
rivers. near his place Mr.. Picat stated
the farmers thereabouts, who turned
their sheep and pigs out to Craze in
this timber. had lost about $50 head of
these animals by the voracity of the
wolves. without knowing what the
cause of their loss was. until n small
negro. with cheap muzZle loading
shot gun, journeyed forth to kill SPUR
rels and saw large she wolf chasing
hog. The little fellow plucllily stood
his ground. and when the wolf was
Passing within twenty yards of him.
he discharged his load of squirrel shot
at the brute with such good aim that
the dead carcass was found in the
wood day or so later.
The body WAS hauled to Como and
WAS found TO measure six and one half
feet from nose TO tip of tail and
weighed 40 pounds. and the fangs were
about two inches long. 1t was said TO
belong to the clouded wolf species
shortly after this Mr. Picat caught in
steel traps in his field four cubs of
solid black the others of tawny colors,
with black backs and gray heads.
The people at Como and surrounding
country are very much excited over the
presence of the wolves. as they are very
numerous. and the authorities have
offered n reward of SO for every head
brought In.

NEW MARINE RAILWAY.
GRONER PROPERTY FINALLY
FINED AS THE SITE OF
THE ENTERPRISES.

~
1t is now determined that the state
ments of the Nirginian-Pilot several
months ago were correct. At that time
the Pilot stated that the
Groner property, having 1,700 feet of
Wharfage on the northwest side of old
Fort Norfolk, was to be q site for a
great marine railway.
The formal transfer of the property
on Monday for the consideration Of
$4,000 to Charles S. McCulloh. of New
York. by. Gen. V. d. Groner, is merely
n confirmation of what was stated SO
particularly before.
The property mentioned lies on Eliz-
abeth river adjacent to deep water in
Atlantic City Ward. Gen. Groner has
held this property for long time In
expectation of a market for 1t, or with
the certain assurance that the city's
needs would advance to 1t. That has
occurred. The many vessels visiting
this harbor make a large marine rail-
way IL necessity. The smaller marine
railways have been remarkably sue
cessful. One of the small marine rail-
ways here has been making a net profit
OF $4,000 a month. They are all small
railways, however. capable of accom-
modating schoonerS and the smaller
steamships only. Consequently, they
did not meet the requirements of the
harbor All large vessels. needing re-
pairs, went either to Baltimore or New
York.
That. of course, is as costly and in
convenient to the owners as 1t is dis
advantageous To Norfolk. hence the
need for marine railway that will
accommodate large ships.
The advantages of the Groner site
are that there is an abundance of deep
water and an excellent land area.
There is room on land for the shops
and the machinery: there is depth and
area of water sufficient TO float a good
sized fleet of ships.
The land has been surveyed and the
plans for the buildings have been de-
termined on, hence. no doubt. the work
on the buildings will begin within sixty
days. In these shops many skillful
men will be required. so that the in
dustry will add to the development and
to the wealth of Norfolk.

THE FI.EUR DE LYS, REVIEWS
ACQUAINTANCES

THE FI4EUR DE LYS, REVIEWS
ACQUAINTANCES.
DR.. r. P. Crandall. United States
Army. is here for a visit to old friends.
He was stationed here at the Naval
Hospital until 1897. when he went with
Spanish war on that vessel.
DR.. Crandall with Mr.. Henry Wal
colt. brother of Senator Edward Wal
colt. OF Colorado; Mr.. Frank Unyer, of
oan francisco, and other members of
the Kat Bate Klub, of Newport. r. L..
are here on the schooner-yacht Fleur
ue Lys. or Senator Walcott.
In speaking with n reporter for the
Virginian- Pilot, Dr. Crandall said that
one curious incident following the bat
tie or Santiago happened between him
ana DR.. Gomez, a Spanish surgeon on
one of Cervera's ships.
Dr. Crandail was anxious to attend to
tne wounded Spanish sailors and told
Dr. Gomez. whom he had met before.
of his intention to begin at once. DR..
Gomez hesitated and then said. in
French: we shall visit the American
wounded first" He appeared as IL he
were shot and wounded himself when
DR.. Crandall said:
There are no American wounded.
We shall attend to the Spanish at
once"
1t was difficult for DR.. Gomez to
realize the truth OF the statement.
hence he was still reluctant to begin
to alleviate the sufferings of the Span
iards. piled three deep. awaiting the
relief of the surgeons or the approach
of death.
The Fleur de Lys will 20 up the
James river to-day TO allow the party
to visit some of the historic scenes Of
the noble stream, but DR.. Crandall will
remain here among his old friends.

A few years ago New York opened
its first hotel for poor people, but this
is yet far from equalling in many re-
spects its predecessor in London
Rowton house, the name it goes by,
is, as far as its exterior goes, sur
passed by the American Mills hotel;
for the English structure. with it's
hundreds of little windows, like so
many portfolios, has a somewhat for
bidding aspect. But it is only after in
ternal inspection, such as the writer
made on recent visit, that the OBJ
server is able to appreciate the value
of so many small windows.
Peep into the entrance corridor of
Rowton house, and you will see it's in
viting. hospitable aspect Penetrate
further, inspect the large comfortable
rooms where dodgers eat, read or
lounge; see how comfortable the bed
rooms are, and how clean the whole
place is, and you will readily admit
that Rowton house is model more
than in name. Let us have a look
round among the occupants.
1t is about Z o'clock, and the toll
ers or unemployed, or whoever the
dodgers may be, are turning in. They
file past the Office where clerk takes
the II cents for a nights lodging, and
gives the ledger key. Some are per-
manent residents, and enter their
hotel with a familiar air. A few who
have supped are sitting on the gar
den seats thoughtfully provided for
them in the lobby. To the left you
enter large smoking room; and note
the comfortable chairs and benches,
solid tables, the glistening walls, and
the beautiful pictures. The chairs
are well occupied. Some men chat to-
gether in groups, play draughts or
dominoes; others read papers; a few
are industriously addressing wrappers;
others again sit silently apart smok-
ing, thinking out the problem of life
as it presents itself to this 12-cent
ledger. We pass next to the dining
room, where there is sitting accom-
