Especial Correspondence.)

The effort which is being made to
preserve and restore old Bruton Par
ish Church, WILLIAMSBURG. Va. is at
tracing general attention. and is
meeting with favor through the coun-
try at large. The cordial approval
with which this endeavor is being re
ceived is the result of the loyal and
patriotic appreciation Of the historic
character and unique claims Of the
old Court Church Of the Colony. It is
anshrined by hallowed associations
and linked with names and events
made memorable in history. The par
ish, with its wooden church, dates
back to 1882. The second church,
huilt of brick. was erected in 1888.
When in 1899 the capitol and court
were moved from jamestown to VIII
liamsburg, the old church was found
to be inadequate, and the present
building was erected by the parish
yestry and the Virginia House of Bur
gesses. In 17l0. during the rectorship
OF Commissary Blair. Governor Alex
ander Spotswood. the knight Of the
Golden Horseshoe. furnished the
plans for the church. which. it ap-
pears, were drawn by himself. and
proposed that the vestry should build
the two ends Of the church. and that
the government would take care for
the intervening part" This was done
and in the Virginia State papers we
find "the dimensions Of We two wings
o. Bruton Church. together with ye
cost of ye rates, Of We materials and
workmanship" given. In this Part
OF the church worshiped the represen-
tatlves of royalty and of the people Of
Virginia. In pews officially designat-
ed. canopied with silk and emblazon-
ed in letters of gold, with the Cover
nor's name, sat the Colonial Cover
nor and his Council of State. Spots
wood, Drysdale, Gooch, Dinwiddie,
Fauquier (who is buried in the aisle)
Lord Botetourt and Lord Dunmore,
and, subsequently, Patrick Henry oc-
cupied this pew. In this part of the
church, occupied by the Burgesses,
worshiped four men who afterwards
became Presidents of the United
States, namely. Washington Jeffer-
son, Monroe and Tyler. Washington's
name occurs eleven times on the old
parish register, which is still pre-
served. Here also worshiped Geo,

scuttIed shlp Saved Dam.

Mr.. Fosdyke, engineer in charge Of
the Asaka dam on the Nile, scuttled
a ship to save his cherished earth
works from ruin. The dam partly
burst, and the great rush of water
was forcing the banks from below.
Something had to be done to stop
the flow, for a terrible disaster was
imminent. Mr. Fosdyke boarded a
cargo steamer tied to the bank some
distance away, and, getting up steam,
steered her down the rapid stream.
When she was broadside on the
trembling dam the engineer had her
scuttled, and as she sank in the rush
ing waters Mr.. Fosdyke and his men
cheered themselves hoarse. The scut-
tied cargo steamer had saved the
dam! This remarkable makeshift for
breakwater cost nearly $35 900.

The waters were a muddy brown,
and as they ran swiftly along between
their mud banks they were anything
