ALBERT WEST DROWNED.

The people of New Point were
much shocked on the 10Th of Feb.
when a fishing beat coming in
reported the drowning of MIR.
Albert West. He with others
were ia the bay driving stakes.
Ii being necessary to run out the
anchor, Mr. West and Carl Hud-
gins went off in a skift for that
purpose. The sea was running
high, the skiff descending into the
trough of the sea struck a stake
which had been driven the year
before, and was broken off even
with the water, which went
through her bottom. the next sea
lifting her off, she filled in a few
second and being heavy bailasted
TO make her tow easy. she sank
TO the bottom and remained there,
ThS-nen in the fishing boat cut
the sterrfiinesand start I'd the en-
CINE to work, but the lines got
wound around the propeller and
stopped her. They then threw out
stakes and Mr.. Hudgins who was
a good swimmer and having re-
leived himself of his heavy boors
succeeded in getting on the float
ing stake and was rescued. Mr..
West who could not swim, and
having on heavy gumboOts went
down with the skiff and neither
skiff nor man has been seen since.
Truly has it been said III the
midst Of life we are In death"

In response to Inquiries from
Mcssrs Burke &Garnett to the Old
Dominion Steamship Co., rela-
tive TO transportation during the
Exposition, Mr., Joseph La v.
Young, Jr., travelling freight and
passenger agent of the company,
who was in Mathews one day this
week, gives the. following for
publication:
1t is the purpose of the Old
Dominion Steamship Co. to give
the residents of Mathews and
Gloucester counties such a sche-
dule during the period OF the
Jamestown Exposition as will
meet with their entire approval.
canvass made by an agent of the
line inviting an expression from
It's patrons as to what service
would be the most acceptable
reveals a sentiment almost unan-
imously favoring a weekly eXCur-
sion from Mathews county.
Therefore, commencing about
the opening date of the EXPOSE
tion and continuing during its
period or as long as it is liber-
ally patronized an excursion will
be run scheduled about as follows:
Leaves Hicks Wharf one day in
each week about 8 or 7 A. NJ.
landing at the other wharves on
East River in seriatum. proceed
ing then to Ware River landings;
thence direct to the Exposition
grounds and Norfolk. The week
following the schedule will be
East and Severn rivers. while
East River secures a weekly ser
vice that from Ware and Severn
alternates
A special steamer will be put
on to run the excursion. The
schedule as at present operated,
it is not supposed, will undergo
any change, except the steamer
10 Norfolk will stop at an Expo
sition ground pier for the purpoee
of landing FIRE light as we'll as
passengers. Leaving Norfolk che
steamer also is to stop at an Elk
position ground pier.
The arrangement as above out
lined will be followed unless con-
ditions arise that might necessi-
tate some variation.
