| NORFOLK. VA, December 26.-(Sre-
| cial)-One Of the largest and most inn
portant deals 1lerea bouts in recent years
has been consummated this week. The
| transaction covers the sale to Maryland
and Virginia capitalists Of what is known
| as the Swimming Point fats. The purchas-
ers Of these properties have acquired the
entire Portsmouth water front. from the
holdings of the Seaboard Airline rail-
! way on Crawford street to the south
ern line of the United States Naval Hos
pital.
The fact that the last three pieces Of
water front mentioned are not included
in this gigantic deal in no way, it is re-
ported, interferes with the immediate i'm
provenent of this large tract of land. The
contemplated improvements will take the
form Of modern terminal facilities of the
railway and steamship companies center
here.

The plan for the improvement also In
cludes the location on this property Of
great union passenger depot, capable Of
accommodating the traffic Of the tree
cities on the EIizabetf It is also believed
that another ferry has been provided for
in the plan for the development for The
property.
The land purchase totals the sum Of
100000, while the contemplated improve
ments cali for All expenditure Of some
thing over a million dollars.
Judge L. r. Watts, of this city, general
counsel Of the Seaboard system, is credit
ed with having carried to successful
issue this undertaking. Asked for a state
ment regarding the above story, Judge
Watts said, this afternoon:
Except to state that the Seaboard Air

CHARLES GARY'S TERRIBLE DEATH.
Charles Gary met death at the navy
yard in this city this morning without a
single instant's warning, by the falling of
a derrick beneath which he was at work
on barge. Gary was not an employee
of the yard. but was working for Contrac-
tor Armstrong. who is delivering coal to
the navy yard on barges.
The craft aboard which he was working
and the coal was being transferred ashore
by means Of a great iron bucket holding
hundreds Of pounds. and lifted by means
of a derrick operated by horse power.
In some manner the derrick slipped it's
socket. under the strain of one of the
heavier loads of COAL and the top OF the
pole went crashing down upon the barge
while Gary was at work. He was bend
ing over loading the coal bucket when the
heavy derrick fell directly upon him,
crushing his head terribly and probably
breaking his neck.
