foot ferry" who keeps tally on passen-
gers between Norfolk and Berkeley. The
belief obtains that these statistics will
be used at Richmond when the Legislature
convenes in order to show the need of a
bridge between the two cities. The belief
also obtains that the bridge Is a necessity,
should have been build long ago and would
fsave been built but for the opposition of
the Norfolk and Western Railway Com
pany. who are, rightly or wrongly, believed
by many people TO have ..lobbed'' at

the storm had wrought in his city. DR..
Riley has just accepted the pastoral care
of the First Baptist Church OF Houston
and had preached there only one Sunday.
The city Of Houston had three white BaD-

the more serious and important since
thousands of refugees from Galveston are
there and vast amount of the business
which ordinarily went to Galveston is now
transferred to Houston.
Dr. Riley made an earnest appeal to the
ministers for assistance, and preparations
are on foot towards raising money for the
purpose.
Representatives from the Baptist
churches OF the city and its vicinity will
meet tonight at s O'Clock at the
