TROLLEY LINE TO RIOHMOND9

The Richmond Journal of yesterday
says that although the State of Virginia
so ealously guards her interests in the
Richmond, Fredericksburg and Poto-
mac Railroad that she has incorporated
In her constitution a provision allowing
the Legislature to forbid the paralleling
of the line, 1t is suspected by many
that q movement is now afoot to evade
the law by running q complete trolley
line system from Richmond to Wash
ington. And what is more, it is be-
lieyed that the Goulds, who control the
street car companies of Richmond and
vicinity, are back of the movement.
The Journal says a charter has been pre-
pared for the Fredericksburg and South
ern Railway to be presented to the State
Corporation Commission. The charter
authorizes the company to construct and
operate an electric road from some point
ia Hanover county to Fredericksburg
and north westwsrdly, and also authorizes
The running of an electric railway in the
city of Fredericksburg, subject to the
consent Of the City Council. Further
more, it is reported on pretty good au-
thoriiy that the Goulds have acquired
extensive water rights at Fredericksburg
on the Rsppahsnnock river. 1t is also
reported that the same syndicate has
acquired control of the Washington,
Alexandra and Mount Vernon Railway,
which runs from Washington to Alex
andria and then to Arlington and Mt.
Vernon. 1t is also recalled now that In
August, 1906, the Corporation Commits
sion granted a charter to still another
trolley line-the Front Royal, Rsppshau-
mock and Tidewater Railway, which
aimed to have terminal points at Rich
mond and Front Royal. In the appli-
cation for the charter 1t was explained
that the line would run through the
counties of Warren, Rappabannock,
Madison. Green, Albemarle, Culpeper,
Orange, Louisa, Fluvsnns, Goochland,
Hanover, Henrico, and Spotsylvsnis.
Whether this road bears any relation to
the suspected scheme Of the Goulds re-
mains to be seen.

A TERRIRLE DISCOVERY.

While attending the funeral of young
man, supposed to DO Wilbur Langley,
Mrs. Orr, q prominent woman Of Colum-
bia, s. O, identified the corpse as that
OF Louis Sewell, her son by former
marriage.
The recognition created scene in the
church, where the funeral services were
being held. No one had doubted that
the corpse was that OF Wilbur Langley.
Mrs. Langley had accepted the body
as that of her son, and she and other
relatives Of young Langley viewed it
and wep. over it as such. At FIRST Mrs.
Langley resented Mrs. Orr's claim to
the body, but friends prevented an out
break, and it was inferred, mourned BY
both women.
Three hours after the burial, Wilbur
Langley arrived at his mothers home
astonished to learn that he had been
mourned as dead. The mistake was
caused BY the dead man having one OF
Lsngley's cards in his pocket.

Today's Telegraphic News,
Loss Of the Thomas w. Lawson.

Lo33 VI TUG luonuo We 6oWoohs
London, Dec. 14.-The ssven-masted
schooner Thomas w. Lawson, the largest
sailing vessel and the only seven-master
In the world. was lost today eff the
Sicily Islands, to the southwest of the
Englise coast.
One survivor and three corpses have
been picked up. Captain Dow and the
rest Of the crew undoubtedly persisted.
They might have escaped when the
ship was first driven on the Scilly rocks,
but refused to leave their posts.
The Lawson, which was chartered to
the Standard Oil Company, carried a
large crew, and was bound from Philsdel-
phia to London. Driven out OF her
course by the terrific storm, she anchor
ed last night off the islands, Captain
Dow evidently fearing she would other.
wise drive on the reefs.
Watchers ashore saw the Lawson's
lights until 8 8. %. when they suddenly
vanished. At dawn the ship was seen
Hosting bottom-upwsrd in an oily sea.
1t Is copjectured that the cables part
ed and that the captain tried oil on the
waves, but the storm was too heavyto be
weathered and that the craft finally
turned turtle, her seven masts serving
to render her top heavy.
Several men who aiterward proved to
be members of the crew, were seen, as
it grew lighter, on Annet Island, an I'M
inhabitsted rock forming one of the
Scilly group.
A lifeboat crew went to The rescue,
found three of the men already dead and
the fourth and last semi-conscious from
suffering. The survivor was taken to
St. Agnes Island. where he is still too
i'll to give an account of the wreck and
may not recover.
1t Is believed the other sailors certain
ly drowned, as they would undoubtedly
have been heard from before this had
any survived.
The gale is steadily increasing in VIC
lence and strewiDg the British coast with
wreckage. L. is feared the total loss of
life will be heavy. ALI the lifeboats are
at work.
London, Dec. 14.-The survivor on
st. Agnes who proved to be George
Allen, has finally recovered sufficiently
to say that the Thomas w. Lawson's
cables did not break, but that the vessel
was literally rolled bottom-upwards By
the terrific seas. His story agrees with
the fact that the hull has not driftt d
ashore, but remains of the islands with
little change in position, evidently still
surging at her anchor chains.
The survivors, story Is that there were
twenty men in the crew. He Is sure
the rest we're all drowned. He last saw
the captain, mate and pilot dashed in
the rigging.
The Lawson was launched st the Fore
River ship yards at Quincy, Mass,
July 10, 1902. She cost $3.50, 900.
From the moment she slid down the
ways to the water she has had an Gnfor-
tunate career. She has been aground a
number of times and narrowly escaped
being o total loss twice. Originally de,
signed as a coal carrier, the Lawson
proved financial loss and was convert
ed into an oil vessel.
