What Is In q Name:

Once hpol Il time there was a credit
or to large amount whose debtor con-
stantly refused payment. The creditor
became impatient and after investiga-
ton found that the debtor lived in a
better house than he did, dressed bet
ter, clothed his wife in silks, satins and
laces and spent dollars where he, the
creditor, spent cents. Then he was
wroth.
II will sue the wealthy debtor" he
said, "and collect what is owing me-"
He brought suit and disclosed a large
amount of valuable property; but, alas,
it was all in the name Of the debtor 6
wife, and he got not single cent.

Wrecks.

Wrecks.
Norfolk, Va, Oct. 10.-The Virginia
coast from Cape Henry to Dam Neck
Mills, twelve miles south, is strewn
with the wreckage of several Inflated
craft tonight.
All communication with the seaboard
is cut off, but it is known that three
vessels have been wrecked and several
lives lost. OF the coal barges Ocean
Belle and Georgia nothing is now left,
except wreckage on the shore, and of
the crews that manned them the fate
of only five is known.
Capt. George H. Adams and Seaman
Charles Peters are drowned, while
Joseph Peters, Peter Lopez and M.
Payne owe their lives to the heroism
of surfman Charles Caps. life saving
station No. 2.
All these men were on the Ocean
Belle, and when this barge was dashed
ashore, the waves swept her decks clear
of rigging and crew. Caps plunged
into the surf, and after desperate strug-
giles, brought all three men to land.
The fate of the Georgia's crew is un-
known, but little hope is held for their
safety. Both barges were in tow Of
the tug Richmond and the tug is miss
ing.

Hewlett, Capt. Gheem. lumber laden,
from Pensacola, is q total wreck on the
coast thre miles from Dam Neck Mills.
Capt. Gheem and his crew of six men
are safe at the station. Four attempts
were made to launch the surf boat
and thus reach the ship, without sue
cess. The surf guard finally succeed
ed in dropping a line over the vessel
and one by one the crew were hauled
ashore through the surf.
The last train from the coast arrived
in Norfolk tonight and brought many
refugees. They reported a large five
mastered schooner in the surf between
Virginia Beach and Cape Henry and
near her a big passenger steamer was
fighting a battle with the northeast
gale that was blowing her towards the
breakers.
The wind at the cape is over seventy
miles an hour and the surf is piling
over the sand hills and back into the
mainland.
At the Norfolk Navy Yard, the
cruiser Olympia is in dry dock with
her bottom plates removed. At nigh

inches from the top of the caisson.

the flood tide this midnight much
higher and fears are felt for the
cruisers safety, should an overflow
occur.

and Western, Southern and Atlantic
Coast Line in the outer harbor have
been badly damaged by the wind and
tide and the big pleasure piers at
ocean View are destroyed. Hundreds
of small crafts have come ashore in
the harbor.

of from forty to fifty miles all day and

Norfolk, Va, Oct. 10.-Norfolk to-day
experienced the worst storm that has
come over this section in fifteen years.
Wind and rain have been raging for
forty-eight hours, and the city is prac-

strewn with the wrecks of small boats.
Since last night an inch and a half of
rain has fallen. The high winds back
ed up a tremendous tide into the inner
harbor. The downtown section of the
city is navigated in boats, while high
wagons are used all over town to con-
meet the trolley lines where the water
prevents the operation of cars.
The City Hall is an island, and can
be circumnavigated in boats. In Bote-
tourt street the tide has come over the
sea wall and waves are breaking in
the street. At Ocean View the large
pleasure pier has been almost complete
ly swept away and great damage done
to the summer homes there. Virginia
Beach, directly on the ocean, has borne
the brunt of the storm and reports of
great damage come from that point.
The coast wires are all down, and the
commercial lines are working under
great difficulty. Both Maryland and
Virginia pilot boats have been COM
PEELED to come into the harbor from
their stations. The wind has veered,
and is now from the east-northeast,
making matters worse on the coast. Con-
tinued high winds will increase the tide,
