The charter of the Tombigbee
Valley Development Company, Of
this city, is being applied for and
viii be approved within the next
few weeks. 1t is incorporated by
H. F Reynolds, President and II.
J. Jennings, ce-president of the
Tombigbee Valley Railway Com
pany, and Messrs John J MacIntire
and George II. Johnson, indirectly
connected with the railroad enter
prise who it is understood Will be in
active management Of the develop
ment company affairs. a splendid
~ furnished suite of five rooms, APP
portioned for convenience of the
several features of the business, is
already occupied, and in due time
the proper official announcement of
its plans and purposes viii be made.
The charter is one of the most lib
eral and comprehensive documents
of the kind in force in this State,
and authorizes the company to
transact a far-reaching business in
city, county and State development,
industrially and otherwise
No definite intimation has yet
been advanced by its management
as to what particular character of
improvement is in view, further
than a confident prediction Of an
increase of population 10y several
thousands in the succeeding few
years, resulting from industrial en-
terprises that are soon to be launched
and put into operation. 1t may be
accepted, however, that the founda-
ton stone of the programme is the
Harvesting Of the waters Of the But
tahatchie river, which is crossed by
the railroad twelve or fifteen miles
east Of the city, and the establish
ment Of a powerful electric plant
at that point. By the peculiar and
favorable situation at that place, a
suficiency Of electric current can be
secured for operating street car
systems and industrial plants with
out regard to number or size, in
all the surrounding towns and cities
Aberdeen, Columbus, West Point,
.Okolona and Amory, to say moth
ing of numerous plants at interior
points requiring power for their OPP
Grafton. This will In itself revolu-
tionize the industrial problem in
this immediate section by the great
" decreased cost Of motive power
and at the same time invite hun
dreds of other industries to locate
among US. All Of this viii Of course
attract men and capital to Us for
investment in any number Of en-
terprises for which we have the
raw material in abundance at our
doors, awaiting the advent Of par
ties who have the means and the
experience to undertake its develop
ment. Thus far the territory with
in a radius Of a hundred miles Of
Aberdeen has been practically IN
explored except IN a few haphazard
experiments, and we are rich be-
yond our own knowledge in crude
materials that, in the hands Of the
skillful manufacturer, would make
our country blossom with a pros
perity Ct which we are now unable
to conceive.
! The company IS capitalized at
/ 5000, 900 and books Of subscription
will doubtless be opened in a few
DAYS, when a sufficiency Of stock
should be taken by our citizens to
localize the company and guaran-

ton of home people Further than

night, with a splendidly rendered
musical and literary programme by
the graduating class of six girls and
one young gentleman - Misses
Evelyn Clark. Corinne Williams,
Julia Baker, Mary Belle Smith,
Ollie Knighten. Julia Eckford and
Master Hendricks Mitchell. On
that Occasion the students finishing
their courses at that institution dis
played ample proof of the thorough
training they had received from
the faculty throughout the curricu-
lum, and acquitted themselves in a
most creditable manner. Superin-
tendent Thornbury is to be CON
graduated upon the highly success
ful closing of the third term of the
school under his administration.
The address to the class was de
livered by Mr.. P. A. Dulin, Of the
Board Of Trustees, in one of his most
felicitous efforts.

Chum, Dave Anderson, Who
Captured Him.
HIS PATENT RAFT SANK,
COMPROMISING THE LADY
For the Cap'n, You See, Had to
Garry Her in His Arms and
All Sag HarbOr Saw.

In the gentle spring zephyrs the good
ship Nancy Jane swung slowly with the
near-ocean swell of the Passaic River,
and the battered ~figurehead on her bow
rubbed off its remaining paint on the
rugged beams OF the Electric Light
Company's dock. Captain Ira Hanks
sat in his cabin and gazed across the
long stretches of the meadows now
showing the first touches of the fairy
wand of spring in patches of delicate
green amid the rugged gray wastes.
Ever and anon the weird cry of the wild
duck and the shrill treble of the snipe
broke the primeval stiffness of the
scene, but Captain Hanks needed not
the alluring call of nature. her beau-
ties spread before him were wasted on
unseeing eyes, for the gallant sea dog,
whose name is known in every cline,
saw framed in an aureole of near-golden
hair, the face of the only woman he
ever looked twice at.
Down the dim vista of the pasta
wild and sometime riotous pasta past
of thirty-five years spent mostly on the
bounding main as stowaway, deck mana
and captain, the memory OF the thinker
strayed. Girls arose whose dark hmpld
ewes and olive-tinted skin spoke of the
blood of proud Aragon and CASTLE;
laughing. blue-eyed, raven-haired
colleens; blonde, pretty-faced daughters
of Holland; the petite beauties OF
F~rance-from the four quarters of the
earth, the fair daughters of every CLINE
were conjured like Macbeth's ghosts
out of the past-and they all suffered
when compared with the widow of
Dave Anderson, of Gloucester-Kittie
McTavish. formerly of Sag Harbor, the
beloved of Cap'n Hanks.
Natures Beauties Lost ON Him.
With the waning day the shadow
deepened over the land, clothing the
meadows in a shroud of mystery and
restoring to the polluted Passaic some
of the beauties of the past, a fitting
soft background for the adored face
that 1oated before the captains eyes,
and he heaved a great sigh, a sigh of
content and happiness. Yet there was
a hesitating note of regret for the days
that were and would never come again.

Tough Cap'n Hanks Tells
Hoqv He Lost His Heart

an I am a-goin' to be spliced and quit
the seas.
Il met the wilder o poor Dave when
she was a little girl a-playin' round
her fathers sloop. an never a thought
had l the she would be Mrs. Captain
Hanks some day.
II met her last winter when ! Wus
home, and arter tellin' her thai wus
sorry that Dave had went to a good
tar's death / begun to notice tina she
was a fine figger o a oma Ye know
thet ! hev invented a new life raft,
thet is filed with air, and | asks the
wilder es a mark o. me high esteem,
to try it with me. WAL, we launched
her, the widder not a bit ervous, bein
a seaman's daughter, and wus a-goin
out o the harbor at a good clip, when
some tarnation thing punctured the
raft and she began to leak. The wilder
got white, and l tried to stop the leak
with me coat, us being nigh a mile
from and with an off shore wind, but
she collapses more n so docs the
wilder.
ST hev lodged sharks and lived on
a boot leg for a week when wrecked.
but never did the cold sweat o fear
come on me until I saw what l brought
the wilder to.
"'You air a kind MAI and a good one,
cap'n,' seq she to me. AN if | am a
goin' to die 1 am glad it is with you.
when the Trouble Happened.
"~"Thankee,' seq l, and starts to try
and get the burned raft on the shoals.
WAL. 1 got it there at last, and | picks
up the wilder and wades a mile with
her in me arms, sometimes thinkin' l
would hey to put her down, and at
last reaches the rocks with the hull
town o. Sag Harbor alookin' at us.
Right then and there / SEE, seq /:

and arter what hes happened We may
suffer. Will we marry me?' And boys,
with a smile tibet 1 thought / would
never git, she SEE, I will Yes, sir,
she SEE, I will"
The far away light again came into
the captains kindly gray eyes,, and
his weather-beaten face wore a tender
smile. The ducks and the snipe still
called in the stiffness, and the meadows
were wrapped in the mantle of night.
but the captain needed not. he saw the
lights cleaning in the window of a lit
tie seaside cottage at Sag Harbor and
in his heart there was a great peace.

SEMICOLON WILL
MAY LOSE WIDOW
PART OF FORTUNE
Question of ROth's Intention Has
Not Been Raised Since Death
Twenty-eight Years Ago.
PROPERTY AT ISSUE NOW
WORTH MANY THOUSANDS
Punctuation Leaves Doubt on
Testator's Disposal of
Real Estate.

A senicolonn. inserted in a passage
of her husbands will may mean the
loss of thousands of dollars to Mrs.
Eva Berner, of 47O Springfield avenue,
who has asked the Court of Chancery
to pass upon the instrument and cor
rectly interpret it for her, although
no question has been raised concern
ing it for twenty-eight years.
81 give and bequeath TO my beloved
wife, Eva Roth, all my real estate
also my personal property of every de-
scription; all moneys due me at my de-
cease to her own private use forever,
and after her decease to the relatives
of myself as we'll as herself the bal
ance in equal parts or shares. Tn1S
is the sentence which Mrs. Roth, now
Mrs. Berner, is asking the court to in
terpret, The troublesome semicolon
follows the word description"
1t is claimed that the last part OF
the sentence gives the legatee only a
life interest in the moneys due at the
time of William Roth's death, March,
1880. But it is not definitely known
whether the maker of the will wanted
to convey the real estate and personal
property to his widow outright, or in
tended hat it, too. should be restricted
hy the last clause. If there were a
period where there is now a semicolon,
its meaning would be perfectly clear.
Adam j. Rossback, counsel for MIS-
Berner, told Vice-Chancellor Stevens
yesterday that the couple had come
here from Germany without a dollar;
that the wife tool in boarders and thus
gave her husband a start. Together
they minded the store and saved, ne
said. Together they lived affeetionate-
" for twenty-five years. AS there were
no children, he was confident that the
intention of the maker of the will was
to give his widow the property put
right.
At the time of Roth's death the real
estate, a grocery store at 40 SPRING
field avenue. was valued at $4,000. Since
that time it has increased in value
until it is now worth many more thou
sands of dollars.
