OLD POINT COMFORT.
ADDITIONAL FACTS ABOUT THE
BAR ASSOCIATION.
Especial to virglnian-Pilot)

Old Point, Va, July 2.-The twelfth
annual meeting OF the Virginia State
Bar Association will be held at Hotel
Chamberlin, this place, on July II, IS
and 10, as heretofore announced in the
Pilot.
The secretary calls especial attention
to the fact that excursion rates will
be given by all the railroads OF the
State, except the Baltimore and Ohio.
This Is the only company which has
declined to give the usual rate of one
and one third q 1-3 )fare for the round
trip. No railroad has ever before re-
fused to grant special rate for these
meetings. and there is no explanation
of the fact why the Baltimore and
ohio railroad has now decided to de-
part from the universal custom. HaV-
ing always heretofore received n spe-
cal rate from this railroad. and being
without warning that il would be de-
clined this year, the announcement
was made by the secretary in the pro-
gram issued that the usual rate would
be granted. The secretary regrets that
the action of the railroad company
makes it necessary for him to correct
the programs in this particular.
There is every indication that the
meeting will be one of the largest and
most interesting ever held by the as
| Sociaton. y list of those who have
| already notified the secretary of their

NEWPORT NEWS.
Suspicion of Foul Play in Con-
nection With a Death.
Kumor That Edward Everett Was Killed
What the Census Shows the Population
of the City to Boa Young Man Conc
Wrong.

Newport News, Va, July 2.-There
is suspicion of foul play In connection
with the death of Edward Everett.
whose body was found floating near
Pier No. Z yesterday morning. The
captain of bark identified the body.
1t is reported that Everett had been
ashore, and made a mistake in the
house he visited on Hells Half Acre.
The men in the house, it is rumored.
| chased the sailor down to the river
and out on the pier. Fearing, it Is
| said. he would be handled roughly. the
man went headlonE into the river. The
| police are investigating this rumor.
OUR POPULATION.
The census enumerators concluded
their work last night, and the returns
are closed. According to estimates
that are made on pretty reliable au-
thority. the census will give this city
| n population of somewhere between
twenty and twenty-one thousand peo-
pie. Indeed, the following figures NAV
be considered as being pretty close to
the actual enumeration:
First Ward-760.
Second Ward-.S00.
Fifth Wards, 600 (estimated).
Fourth Ward-2 600.
Sixth Ward-3,400.
Seventh Ward-2,400
Third Ward-3,Q00 (estimated).
Total-19, 906
four or five thousand below the true
population of the city-an enormous
difference. considering the size of the
place.
A YOUNG MANS CRIMES.
Five or six weeks ago young man.
some twenty-five years of age, made
his appearance in the city, claiming to
hail from Atlanta. He was given n
temporary job as bar-keeper at the
Stage.
There was nothing about Smith to
indicate that he was excessively slick;
but he was.
Thursday evening. Smith. who had
changed his name to Charles H.
Smith. went into McNair e Co.'S place
on Twenty-eighth street and got two
blank checks on Schmelz Bros bank.
One of these he filled out for SIS, sign
ing the name of c. H. Binns, making
it payable to Charles H. Smith. This
check he cashed at Dysons saloon
The other check he filled out for $40.
1t purported to be signed by L. IL
Cressy. was made payable to and en-
dorsed by Charlie Garner. This was
cashed ut Faqua's place, a part of it
going to payment for n box of beer,
which he ordered to be sent to Charles
II. Smith. No. 364 Twenty eighth
street, at which number it was found
| that no one lived.
The checks, of course, were worth
less. and this fact was discovered
when they were presented to the bank
| Friday. At o'clock Friday morning.
Smith was at the Lexington Hotel,
where he secured n blank and filled
out another check, which he mailed to
some firm in the city in payment for
purchases made by him. He left on
one of the morning steamers, and 1t is
believed that he is in Baltimore.
