Narrow Escape From Being Bitten by
a Snake.

Mr.. r. b. Powell had an experience
yesterday which he does not care to
repeat. He went in the feed room at
home to feed his horse. STOPPING
down he got an arm full of hay when
he felt something strike the mass in
his arms. Looking to see what it
was imagine his feelings when he saw
a large high land moccasin right at
him in the attitude of striking again.
Mr.. Powell stood not upon the order
of his going but he left the scene at
once, scarcely knowing whether he
had been bit or not. Procuring his
pistol he returned to the barn and
killed the snake, which proved to be
an unusually large one for the
species.

Was Warmly Greeted by His Friends.

Mr.. John A. Fleming occupied his
accustomed place as a sitting men,
Der of the Board of County Commits
sioners on Monday His reception
amounted almost to an ovation at
the hands of his friends. Mr.. Fleming
could not have been happier at being
able to get here than his friends were
to see him. He has lost flesh but
looks well, color good and strength
gradually returning. For a man of
his size and considering the short
time he has been using crutches Mr..
Fleming gets about very we'll and
finds his Sticks fairly good sub
stitute for his missing leg. Vance
county contains no better citizen
than John A. Fleming, and his pro-
tracted illness and near approach to
death as they feared, served to draw
his friends closer to him if possible.
The pleasure at seeing him was
heightened all the more on this ac-
count.

Terrific Storm.

Mr.. Peter Hester tells the GOLD

over the Berea section Saturday

When Travelling is a Pleasure.

One travels for pleasure sometimes
as well as necessity. But all travel
ing is not pleasure by any means.
There are pleasing exceptions to be
sure, however. and the trip up or
down Chesapeake Bay on one of the
fast and elegant steamers of the Old
Bay Line is one of them. Indeed,
such a trip would not be devoid Of
pleasure to the man who was going
to attend the funeral of his mother
in-law.
The Old Bay Line fleet consists Of
the steamers alabama, Georgia and
Tennessee, three of the finest. staunch-
est and fastest steamers that ply in
land waters in this part of the cOun-
try. They are commodious and lux
uriously appointed-regular floating
palaces affording every comfort and
convenience that could be desired.
The cuisine is unsurpassed, the night s
rest undisturbed.
Travel by the Old Bay Line and
pleasure will be your portion, no
matter what the object of your going
NAV be.

RICHMOND TO BE

Hall to State-To Pay
in Part

The contract between the Common
wealth and the city. by which the former
will secure for occupancy by the Cor
poration Commission four adjoining
rooms on the fourth floor Of the City
Hall, will doubtless be settled tonight
at special meeting of the Committee
on Grounds and Buildings. In this event
the contract will be signed by Monday
night, and before the month is out the
newly established Corporation Commits
sion will have moved into its quarters.
At a meeting Of the Committee on
Grounds and Buildings last night a SUBJ
committee was appointed to take up the
question OF rental price with Chairman
Crump, Of the Commission; Superintend
cnt Of Grounds and Buildings Richard
son for the State; City Engineer Cut
shaw and City Attorney Pollard. NIessrs
Grimes, Pollock and Elicit will consti-
tute the official body, and q conference
will be held this morning at 10 O'clock
in the office of Colonel Cutshaw.
At the conference between the sub
committee and the State and other city
officials the question will practically be
settled, inasmuch rs their report will
doubtless be adopted Without debate It
is hardly probable that the Common
wealth will be charged more than $500
per annum for the rooms. although $1,000
has been appropriated by the General
Assembly to defray the expenses for a
year.
Councilman Pollock was in favor OF
leaving the question of settlement to a
subcommittee. the decision to he final.
But there was opposition to this mca-
sure, as n result of which 1t was de-
cided to leave the final question with
the entire body and call a special meet
ing for the purpose OF winding up the
affair.
The Committee on motion OF Mr.. Ell
lett after n lengthy discussion, decided
to pay the Stewart Iron Works, builders
of the new jail, $1,000 Of the $4,000 which
Is still due them. The balance, $500.
