some STEAMBOAT NOTES,

Steamer Anna Arundel got as far
as Kinssle Wednesday, after a rough
voyage.
The Merchants Il Miners line out
of Baltimore and the Washington and
Norfolk line did not stop during the
freeze.
Mail steamer Owen billiard got to
Uroanna Monday and Tuesday, but
since then has been unable to get
there on account of ice.
The name of the Weems Steam
boat Co., of Baltimore, passed out of
existence last week aud it will here
after be known as the Maryland,
Delaware Il Virginia Railway 90.
The steamer Tourist, which was
reported in this paper last week as
being firmly blocked in the ice of
Currituck Sound, has been released
and taken to Elizabeth City. The
vessel sustained no damage whatever
by its imprisonment.
Steamer Middlesex reached the
Rappahannock river Tuesday night
from Baltimore, the first boat from
that city for three weeks. She was
heavily loaded with freight for the
lower wharves. After going up the
river as far as possible for the ice,
she returned to Baltimore yesterday
Thursday. Steamer Tivoli also
left Baltimore Tuesday for Pianki-
tank river, but on her way down
got blocked in the ice at Reedyille
and has been unable to get away.
Steamer Potomac on Thursday
from Norfolk got up "a far as Shsrps.
She returned Friday night, reaching
Norfolk, without obstruction before
day Saturday morning. Returning,
she left Norfolk Sunday morning,
making the trip to within a short
distance of Tappahsnnock that day
and night. She returned again from
Norfolk Wednesday afternoon and is
expected back on her down trip tonight
CThursday). So we have been keeping
in touch with the outside world dur
ing the week Just passed.

In STORMS MIGHTY GRIP,

A large bugeye, carrying about
1,500 bushels of oysters, is sunk of
Urbanna creek.
The freight wharf and a part of
the foundation of the dancing
pavilion at Colonial Beach were
carried away by ice recently.
The starboard light buoy at the
mouth of Urbanna creek was carried
away last week by the movements IF
the ice. Wagenen's watch house on
the planting grounds off Hog House
bay was also carried away, while
Hurley's' watch house. just above
Urbanna creek, is swinging on two
piles and ready to go at any minute.
Washington's Engineer of Bridges
has been experimenting with the
effects of dynamite on the ice in the
Potomac river. Little progress to-
ward clearing the channel was ac-
complished on account of the slug
glst current. QUAINT ities of ice, snow,
and water were hurled into the air
at each charge, but as there was little
or no movement down stream no
channel could be formed to carry
the ice away as fast as broken up,
leaving the situation practically I'M
changed.
The following appeared last Fri
day in the Richmond Times-Dis-
patch's Irvington correspondent:
"lrsington, Va, Feb. 9.-Send bur.
ried call to Frank j. Gould. The
Northern Neck is entirely cut off.
No person or steamboat has reached
here from the outside for a week.
Bacon, corn bread and oysters are
plentiful. but everything else is Civ
ing out. Hundreds of thousands of
dollars worth of oysters are tied up
for lack of transportation. Hurry
the railroad"
The Southside Sentinel of last
week says: Several small boats
have been taken out of the ice off the
mouth of Urbanna creek during the
freeze-up. Some of them came from
the Lancaster side while others are
owned in Robinson and La Grange
creeks, in this county. They were
pulled from their moorings and
brought down the river by drifting
ice. Several of our good citizens got
together one day this week and sue
ceeded in pulling the boats ashore
on the ice. Pieces of wharves
and other water property have been
brought down the river by the ice
and are hung up in the bay below
Urbanna creek.
Seven tongmen from Maryland,
who were in the employ of the Lewis
Lankford-Tull Company, at Wheal-
ton, on the lower Rappahannock
river, were caught in the company's
watch house on their oyster grounds
in the Rappahannock during the
recent heavy storm, and for two days
and two nights were unable to get to
shore. Ice piled around the house,
which seemed likely to be swept away
every moment. The men finally
reached the Essex shore by walking
on the ice. They were in a half
frozen condition. Soon after they
left the watch house it was carried
away by the ice. They narrowly
escaped death.

DOINGS IN CONGRESS.

Senator Martin has introduced a
bill appropriating SIS, 900 for the cree.
ton of a dwelling attached to the
fog signal at Cape Charles.
The q. s. Senate and the White
House are in clash. BY adopting an
amendment to the pending arbitra-
ton treaties requiring that before
any matter concerning this country
shall be submitted to arbitration il
shall receive the Senate's approval,
the Senate has put it sup to" the
President whether the treaties shall
be withdrawn or left to the Senate
for confirmation. The President had
stated that if the treaties were
amended In any way they would be
withdrawn, and the Senate has &C.
cepted the challenge. This is re.
garded as notice that the Senate will
insist on its full share in govern.
mental functions.
The committee has recommended
that the government appropriate
81, 0,000 in aid of the Exposition
to be held at Hampton Roads in 1907
to commemorate the tercentenniaI OF
the founding of the first permanent
settlement of English speaking PEG.

The government has never before

sum than was appropriated. The in.
fiuence of the President has been ex.

GOVERNOR MONTAGUE did the
proper thing in not interfering any
further in the McCue case. We ex.
pressed this opinion before McCue's
confession. AS public servant the
Governor could not have done other
wise. The whole matter, while ex.
crutiatingly painful and deplorable,
will have good effect throughout
the State. Probably because of it
more than one man will stop and
think before committing murder.
On the other hand, the miscarriage
Of justice in the Fishburne case at
Roanoke will tend somewhat to
counterfeit the salutary dose.

FRIENDS in this section think Hon.
j. Taylor Ellyson made mistake in
not standing for Lieutenant Cover
nor. Few will be found tn roughout
the State who do not think him en-
titled to the Governorship, and
would like to see him there, but nine
out of ten Of his admirers agree that
he will not get there except by
climbing. Unfortunately Mr.. Ely
son is not a good "mixer," and the
hustling candidate and hand-shakel
generally pushes the "cold- blooded'
aside. AS Lientenaut-G Governor TO,
four years Mr.. Ellyson's worth would

such like-bdt naturally their sphere
of operations is limited. We need
more such. We were struck some
time since by the accounts little
miss, scarcely in her teens, gave us
of what a charitable work the Lend
a-Hand society of HeathsvilIe, in our
sister county, was doing. These
children are doing deeds that angels
might envy and at the mention of
which every one of as grown people
should blush because we are dong
practically nothing but thinking of
self and "rooting" for ourselves aud
those it is our immediate duty to
care for. Around every store fire

boys that could mole profitably en-
gage their energies in looking up
some poor and distressed to endow
with the spending change they are
uselessly investing while lolling
around. The bane of a place and
