a Casting Record.

The Aetna Iron Works, OF this city,
are at work on what is said to be the
biggest job Of the kind ever undertaken
in Norfolk.
This is the casting of from seventy
70 eighty enormous iron columns for
the new block Captain VIM. Taylor is
building on Main street, opposite the
Confederate monument, which struc-
ture will be the new home of Miller
Rhoads e Co.
These columns are eleven inches in
diameter and twenty feet long. The
IRON shell of the columns is two inches
thick. They will have an aggregate
weight of eighty to ninety tons.
The successful production of such
work is a matter of congra tulation and
shows that Norfolk is well equipped
to handle casting jobs of considerable
size and Importance.

BIG BUILDING MAY BE ERECTED
ON CRANKY STREET.

1t is reported, on what is considered
good authority, that number of Nor
folk capitalists are preparing to erect
big store and office building at the
corner of CRANKY and Plume streets, on
the site where the old Newton home
stead now stands. So
The building will, it is said, be at
least eight stories high, and may be
ten stories. The Board of Trade and
Business Mems Association has been
approached on the subject OF removing
Its quarters to the proposed building,
and the proposition meets with some
favor, as the trend of business seems
to be In that direction, and the loca-
ton is convenient. There would also
be no finer FONT in Norfolk tsan the
roof OF such a building as the one pro-
posed for visitors to get a comprehen-
sive view Of Norfolk, Portsmouth.
Berkeley, Norfolk harbor and all of our
environs. Il
While it cannot at present be stated
as fact that the building will be
erected, it is understood that the proba-
billties are that it will, and that 1t will
be one of the finest office buildings in
the South, thoroughly modern In every
respect and intellectually beautiful

Theatrical Stock Companies.

a representative of The Vlrginian-
Pilot had a very pleasant chat with
Mr.. j. w. Albaugh. Jr., at the Month
cello Hotel yesterday. Few men are
better qualified to talk upon the sub
Ject OF theatrical stock companies than
MIR. Albaugh, who has been engaged
Tor eleven years in the development of
company which has reached a degree
Of excellence that Baltimoreans are
justly very proud of. This company
enjoys a record Of having successfully
performed about ninety plays. Speak
ing o. the merits of the stock company
as factor in the elevation of the stage
and in the artistic development of the
dramatic profession. Mr.. Albaugh said
that in a company like his young ac-
tors and actresses are afforded an on
portunity of ascertaining the line of
work best suited to their talents. as the
great variety of roles to which they
are assigned during n year furnish
severe test to their capabilities, and
sooner or later the actor discovers his

winch are required to study hard. and

tion of a new play each week cannot

but live and enjoy their circle of friends
like other citizens of their city. They
are therefore free from many of The
communicating influences that the mem
bers Of many travelling companies are
subjected to. Mr.. Albaugh mentioned
the fact that nearly all of the greatest
opponents Of the drama were the pro-
ducts OF the stock companies in the
days of limited transportation facilities.
when nearly every city had its stock
company as its bright and particular
centre Of amusement.
