LEXINGTON, VA, Feb. S-North
River is higher than at any time since
the big flood Of 1870. This is owing to the
high water OF two days ago and a heavy
rainfall during the entire past night and
to-day. The latter storm was accompa-
MED with thunder and lightning.
Over the North hiver Branch OF the
Chesapeake and Ohio road. from Lexing-
ton to Balcony Falls. there were no trains
running. as parts Of the track are under
water The same condition exists on the
James River Division from Clifton Forge
to Richmond.
The Baltimore and Ohio trains run to
the yard hollow East Lexington. which is
under water, and there transfer passen-
gers and mail. The former walked over
the trestle and the latter was carried
on hand cars across.
The county road is impossible as
water Is pouring over it in great volume
at East Lexington. The high waters We're
viewed by hundreds of persons all day.
Great quantities Of debris. among which
were dead horses and a wagon. washed

KING GEORGE, Feb. 2S.-It was well
come sound that greeted the ears OF per-
sons all along the Northern Neck We'd
nesdey, as the whistle of the steamboats,
was heard again, indicating that naviga-
ton is opened, after three weeks and a
half of the coolest, most wintry weather
we have experienced here for years. The
Potomac River boat, the Henry Randall
from Washington, brought down q,
large cargo of freight, much Of which
has been waiting for transportation since
the LIST of February. Many persons, also
ice-bound. came down from Washington.
The sight that greeted the traveller from
Washington to the lower landings was a
continuation of wrecked wharves, few
along the river having escaped injury.
Somerset wharf, which is considered one
Of the most substantial On the Potomac,
was partly carried away by the masses
of ice that crushed against the tenders
which protected the wharf. breaking
them as If they were poles, thus causing
the weight of the ice to come with great
force against the wharf carrying away
about two hundred feet of it.
The warehouse which was at the end
Of the wharf, far out in the river, was
turned almost half way around, but it
remains intact. Stuarts and Stiffs
wharves were partly carried away by the
ice several weeks ago, and passengers
and freight to and from the steamers
had. to be transported in rowboats or
scowS.
The Baltimore boat up the Rappahan-
mock to Fredericksburg passed up Tues
day night, carrying freight to it's ut

HAVE A VIRGINIA TUSKEGEE.
DR.. SoutlalI ard Captain Yawter Planning a
Great Future for Petersburg School.

The State Department of Education is
to undertake to make the Virginia Nor
NAL and Collegiate Institute. of Peters
burg, n second Tuskegee Institute,
Or. Southali, the Superintendent OF
Public instruction, is bending very effort
in this direction. He is planning how
manual training shall be shortly intro
duced into the curriculum of this school
for colored young men and women. This
is one of his plans: There are several
vacancies in the Board OF Trustees. 1t is
exceedingly likely that Captain c. E.
Nawter. the experienced and admirable
superintendent of the Miller School, Of
Albemarlc county. will be appointed on
the board. 1t will be one OF his first du-
ties to install this departure. or course,
to have the addition in the expense of the
institution. the Legislature will have to
make an appropriation. But there seems
not a great deal of doubt felt on this
score. The people OF the country are be-
ginning to see more clearly that Booker
Washington is right In holding that man
llal training is by far the best education
for the negro. The nae work of the Tus-
kcgee Institute Is recognized everywhere.
The ambition OF DR.. Southall is to make
the Petersburg school second only to
that of any training school for negroes
in the land. 1t is to get the splendid eS-
pcrience of CAPTAIN Nawter to this end
that he is to be placed on the board.
Another step Is very likely to be taken
soon in the development of this institu-
ton It is the change of the name TO the
Colored Normal and Industrial College.
The Governor IS very much in favor OF
this and the Legislature Is likely to dc
so And this has a set purpose. 1t Is
10 get around the circumstance that the
present charter does not allow any of the
officers or tea chcrs of the institution to be
white persons. When the industrial
training IS introduced. a. skilled white
teacher is very likely to be Installed. a
new life Of usefulness Is just before this
| school If DR.. Southall has his way.

erciseS.
The speaker showed the relation be-
tween the battles OF Fredericksburg and

the other. He used certain we'll known
points about Richmond to illustrate graph

dents that We're exceedingly interesting.
Captain Brown showed that General Ear
ly was the fine soldier that all held him
to have beea- and his entire address was
q mighty tribute to the splendid bravery
of the Confederate army. He told an
interesting Incident in his own experience

GATED this. too.
AT the conclusion of the address Capt.

Of the Camp be extended Captain Brown,

BOY SWEPT TO HIS DEATH,
Jackson River Carries Away Suspension
Bridge at Clifton Forge.
Especial Dispatch to The Times.


CLIFTON FORGE, VA, Feb. 2S.-Clif-
ton Forge and vicinity was visited last
night with the heaviest rainfall and one
of the worst thunderstorms that have
ever been known in the history of the
town. The oldest residents all agree that
never before have they seen any storm.
ito equal this one. 1t commenced to rain
about 0 o'clock and continued necessarily
until o'clock this morning. The wo-st
part of the storm was from J. to 6 o'cluol:
this morning. The damage done by
lightning was very small, but at this
time it is impossible to estimate the
amount of damage done by the high
water. Jackson River is now twenty
feet above low water and still rising. Tkis
is the highest it has ever been known to
go.
The saddest accident which has oc-
Cured here for long time happened
about o'clock. when Guy Kraft
sol of Mr.. c. A. Kraft, road
foreman of engines of the Clifton Forge
Division of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railway, was drowned in Jackson River.
He with one or two of his playmateS,
were on the suspension bridge, which con-
nccts the main part of the town with
the southern part, when the bridge was
swept away, throwing young kraft into
the main current of the raging stream.
For while it was thought that he could
be saved, as it was seen that he had man
aged to get astride of a large log float
ing down the river. Friends who wit
messed the accident Immediately phoned
Iron Gate to have a boat in readiness to
save him when he passed that point. It
was a matter Of a few minutes before
every possible effort had been made to
rescue him there. but his strength was
exhausted before he reached the Chesa-
peake and Ohio main line bridge. Tt was
here that he was seen to go down and
not come UP again. 1t is thought that
his body Is caught in the brush at this
bar. of the river. If such be the case
his body will be recovered when the river
has fallen; but it is impossible to make
any attempt to recover it now.
Young Kraft was about fourteen years
old with very bright and promising
future before him.
