THE WEATHER.

Denizens of Tidewater on last Thurs
day morning awoke to find that a cold
rain had fallen the night before. From
Williamsburg west, where the salt at
mosphere could affect it little, the rain
was snow, about two inches falling
in Richmond and more further west.
Transportation was blocked in the north
and the snow extended almost into the
Gulf States. With one exception this
IS the earliest general snow in twenty
years.
Beautiful Indian Summer" preceded
this storm, and warm southerly winds
are following it up. This week heavy
fogs prevailed in Tidewater, greatly
disarranging steamboat schedules.

BOARD OF FISHERIES FINE SHOWING
About $4,000 Proflt to State.
tRiehmond Times-pispatch.l

Richmond Times Dispatch.)
Great improvement in the manage
ment of the fish and oyster industries
of the State is shown by the annual
report of the State Board of Fisheries,
which has been presented to Gov.
Swanson.
The financial statement shows total
cash collections paid auditor from Oct.
/, 1905. to Sept. 80 1906, s74, 623. 90;
disbursements, $25, 500. 90; net cash
balance, $40, 1890.
Of the disbursements, 4.34I was
salaries and expenses of the board, and
S2l, 159 for salaries and expenses of the
oyster police boats.
The net balance to the State is an in
crease of about $1,000 over that shown
by any previous report.
The expense of guarding the public
oyster rocks has increased mainly be-
cause of the use by oystermen of gaso-
iene launches. The Board has been
compelled to meet this condition by
purchasing similar boats for protec-
ton.
The principal increase in the oyster
producing industry is on the eastern or
ocean side of Accomac and Northamp-
ton counties. This territory has within
the last few years developed into a
great seed raising section.
Public sentiment is steadily growing
in favor of the enforcement of the
oyster laws, and many of those engaged
IN the industry are assisting the au-
thorities.

at the name of Foster.
They sang many songs, including.

Finally, they marched past the resi-

burn the doctor in efiigy in front of his
house.

notice that he would shoot down any
man who set fire to the coffin. The
coffin was placed ON support in full
view of DR.. Fosters house. where DR.
Foster and number of his family were
standing in the window. Mayor War
burton said the coffin should not be
burned within the city limits. and
Policeman Guilliam ordered the bows
to remove the coffin into the county.
A party of ten pall-bearers relit the
candles on the coffin, and, followed bv

STATE WINS AGAINST
PENNSYLVANIA r. R.
Governor Swanson Held Strong
Hand.

Something transpired Monday which
was of interest to every Virginian. The
Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac
X. K. is controlled by Pennsylvania
interests, but the State as well as pri-
vate individuals own mn h OF the stock.
In fact, so great is the States interest
that the annual dividends pay a large
part, If not the whole, of the interest
on our State debt, and in that way
keeps taxes down.
Recently the Pennsylvania named a
gentleman for the new President of the
X, F. & p, who. it is thought, was
placed there to divert trade to other
lines of the Pennsylvania system, and
in that way reduce the earnings of Vir-
ginia's road. AS soon as this was
learned Governor Swanson took a hand.
and he has been backed unanimously by
the Virginia people and papers. He
objected, in the name of the people, to
the Pennsylvania naming the Presi-
dent, and called for conference. The
Pennsylvania CURLY refused, but later
knuckled, and on Monday there was a
gathering at the capitol of big-bugs in
railroad and State affairs.
After celebrating over the question
OF electing president of the road.
action was deferred until Tuesday.
December IL, when the presidency will
be settled. Who the man will be it is
impossible to forecast positively. 1t
can be said, however, it will not be the
Pennsylvania man.
The Pennsylvania officials virtually
apologized to the Governor for their
hasty words and actions, and the meet
ing ended somewhat in the nature of a
love feast.
Virginia practically wins, and the
people are loud in praise of the quick
and firm action of Governor Swanson
and the State proxies. If necessary.
the Governor would call the Legislature
in extra session to take action against
the Pennsylvania and protect the States
great interest.
