COLONEL THOMAS TABB
DIES IN PHILADELPHIA.
His Brilliant Career I'm Peace and in
Wnr-His Prominence as a Law
yer-Coa1 from Wales.

HAMPTON. VA. October 17.-(SpeciaD
Colonel Thomas Tabb one Of the best
known citizens of Hampton, and lead
ing lawyer of Virginia, died in the pri-
vate sanitariun Of DR.. Mitchell, in Phil
adelphia, at an early hour this morning.
He had been in declining health tor sew
eral years. and last August went 10
Philadelphia, where he was undergoing
special treatment The cause Of his
demise is given as acute stomach trou-
BILE. with which he suffered for three
years.
Colonel Tsbb was recognized as enc OF
the leading and ablest authorities on the
law IN the State. He enjoyed lucrative
practice from the time he entered the
profession. back in 1867, up to the mo-
,nent Of his last illness.
Colonel Tanb was born in Hampton
sjxty-scven years ago.
He was educated at the Hampton Acad-
envy and Princeton University. and grad
uated in the law from Washington ana
Lee University in 1859.
When the civil war broke out in 1851, MT.
Tabh entered the Confederate service as
a member of the Washington Artillery.
a crack military organization that went
out from Hampton. One year later ne
was chosen quartermaster, with the rank
of captain, on the staff of General Roger
A Pryor and was later on the stan OF
General kemper, remaining in such posi-
lion until the surrender at AppomatsoS.
AMASSED A FORTUNE.
At the close of the war he returned to
Hampton, and took up the practice OF
law. He was successful and amassed a
great fortune which is variously esti-
mated at from one million to one and one
half million dollars. He represented many
leading concerns and private estates. His
advice on legal questions was sought on
all sides.
In 1850, Colonel Tabb. then but 3 years
of age, was a candidate for the Iesls-
lature opposing the late Joseph sesac'
who was at that time a shrewd poll
,ician. The canvass was a heated one
and Colonel Tabb was defeated by our
vote.
After the war, and during the days OF
Reconstruction he was appointed Com
monwealtI's Attorney OF Warwick coun-
ty.
Colonel Tabb was unanimously nonl
mated as the representative IN the fecen1
Constitutional Convention from this coun
ty, but was forced to decline the honol
on account of his health.
He married Miss Virginia Jones, who
with three children, survives him.
The remains will be brought to Hamp
ton Tomorrow morning, and the tunera
services will probably take place Sun
day afternoon.
CARGO OF WELSH COAL.
Mr.. Jacob Heff1elfinser, coal dealer
to-day received a cargo of 100 tons OF
coal from Wales, which was shipped hin
several months ago. This is the first for
eien coal ever brought to Hampton, ant

NAY NEED NEW CAPITAL.
STRIKE REDUCED PROFITS.
The Dividend Policy, Inherited from
the Former Management, q Mis-
taken Policy Under Present Condi-
tions-Coa1 Business to Come VIII
Help Things.

NEW YORK, October 17-(Special.)-Ihe
wall street Journal says this evening:
It looks very much as if Chesapeake
and Ohio will shortly have to raise some
new ca pital in some form or other~1or
expenditures that have to be made on the
nronerty to keep it up-to-date and IN hne
with other roads.
over 81, 100000, of course, was aVa1iaoie
from income for the spur last year. pue III
the first three months Of the current rs
cal wear there has been falling OIL III
net of pretty nearly this much as the re
silt of the strike No doubt the road-the
credit of which is Sood-would De aple'
without difficulty. to raise two or three
million dollars by some KIND OF slnhihs
fund security, which could be paid OH out
of future income and would give the COM
many the money that it needs at once.
ITS DIVIDEND POLICY.
It is very clear that the dividend poncy
which the present management 1nheiiteu
from the former manag ement was his
taken policy, as under present conoitioils
the road really ought not to pay dlvlueho
at all, but use the money Tor necessary
improvements This can not be helped
however and hence it might be a wise
thing to get the money in the way sug-
penditure as quickly as possible
THE COAL SITUATION.
It is hoped that the strike in its coal
territory will be settled soon enough to
enable the company to get the benefit or
present active business conditions IN the
coal trade. No double the loss. which mas
been suffered in the first three months OF
the present fiscal year. could be maze up
without difficulty in the next eight or nine
months, under ordinary conditions
The fact that the company needs money
at the present time to expend upon the
road is, of course, sufficiently explained
by the experience of all it's competitors.
If ANYTHING were needed, however. to
proye the utter absence of basis for the
stories that have been in circulation from
time to time with respect to increased
dividends. leases, guarantees, etc, II
would be found in this fact.
