To the north of the Washington
house, but still on land that was the
Washington farm, is Chatham, one Of
the noble places of Virginia. During
the union operations against Marye's
Heights, Chatham was Burnside's
headquarters. It was then the prop
erty of Maj. Horace Lacy. After the
war 1t was bought by collie" Watson,
q New Yorker, and now is owned by a
rich cotton manufacturer named
Bailey, who lives at Griffin, Ga.
Across the river at the upper end
of Fredericksburg is the great house
of Kenmore. George Washington's sis
ter Elizabeth became the wife of Maj.
Fielding Lewis of Fredericksburg, n
revolutionary officer of distinction. He
built Kenmore in 1749. One of their
sons was intimately associated with
George Washington and became the
husband of Nellie Custis, granddaugh-
ter of the wife OF George Washington
and adopted daughter of Washington.
The mother of Washington was
buried at a romantic spot in the Ken
more grounds. Soon after the death
of Mrs. Washington her widowed
daughter Betty moved from Kenmore
to live with her daughter, Mrs. Carter,
in Lancaster county. There she died

The Ferry farm in Washington's
time comprised about 1000 acres. It
was on this land that Burnside con-
Quoted his main operations against
the confederate position behind Fred
ericksburg. After more than a cen
tury of transfers and subdivisions the
Washington homeseat has been re-
duced to 206 acres. The present own
er is F. II. Corson, a farmer.
One of the original Washington
houses is standing about 100 yards
from the Corson cottage. Only the
weather boarding has been renewed.
1t is frame shanty, and the story
goes that it was used as an Office of
the estate when the Washingtons lived
there.
OF the 200 acres surrounding the
house two are in garden and orchard,
1S in oak timber and the remainder in
farming land, planted this year in
wheat and corn. When Corson bought
the land It was deeply scared with
Burnsides earthworks, there being 13
gun pits near where the house stands
These pits have been obliterated, with
the exception of one, which has been
left as a relic.

DRAMATIC INCIDENTS
ARE WITNESSED IN THE COOPER,
SHARP MURDER TRIAL.
Widow Of Ex-senator carmaek Be.
: comes HysterloaI When Called
~ Upon TO Testify.

Nashville, Tenn, Feb. 1T.-Filled
with dramatic incidents and marked
by scenes that bordered on the SEN
sational, the first day OF the actual
trial of the Cooper-Sharp case closed
last night. Whether Col. Duncan B.
Cooper, Robin ]. Cooper and John
Sharp killed ex-senator q. w. Car
mack in self-defense or as result OF
q conspiracy is the issue. The TAX
ing of testimony began with every
seat in the big court room occupied.
Scarcely had the attorneys been
raped to order-Judge Hart has
broken two perfectly good gavels In
the work thus far-than sensation
No. was produced.
Mrs, d. w. Carmack, the slain SEN
sator's widow, was half carried. half
assisted into the room. She was
sgowned In deepest mourning. She is
petite and slender. Her black veil
fell nearly TO her feet. Her knees
gave way as she neared her seat
and she was moaning as she was
placed In her chair. Her little son,
Ned, IT., aged 10. stood by his
another, patting her shoulder and try
ing to keep back his tears.
Surprise No. 2 came when the
state called Mrs. Carmack as its first
witness. She was almost carried to
the witness stand. raised platform,
by her kinsman. Frank Lander. who
succeeded her husband as editor OF
zthe Tennesseean.
A few questions were asked her,
excused.
Sensation No. followed Mrs. Car
mack's leaving the stand. Young
Ned Carmack turned squarely to-
wards where the defendants sat and
fixed upon them look full of hatred
Next came the testimony OF Mrs.
Eastman, who seized the revolver
said to have been found near the
dead editors body. and re-enacted the
tragedy.

MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION
IN MANY STATES.
NILES OF WIRES ARE DOWN
A Foot Of Snow ls Reported in West
ern New York-lndiana Is Also a
Great sufferer-The Storm
Has Moved Eastward.

New York, Feb. 1.-THE entire
northeastern section of the United
States from the Mississippi river to
the Atlantic seaboard is in the grasp
of severe storm. Heavy falls Of
eleet and snow accompanied by icy
winds on the northern part OF this
territory greatly hampered all means
of transportation and communication.
Miles Of telephone and telegraph
wires are down between New York
and Chicago, and throughout north
ern New York and New England a
snow blockade prevailed. The storm
center is moving slowly eastward and
clearing weather is promised through
out the east to-day. West of Chicago
conditions have already improved.
Buffalo, N. Y, Feb. 17.-An even
foot of snow, hail and sleet fell in
Buffalo and western New York be-
tween Sunday and sundown last
night. The greater part of It was in
the form of fine hail, which piled up
to a depth of seven inches and was
as shifty as quicksand. Streets were
ankle deep in the slippery particles
of ice which ordinary methods ut
terly failed to clear. Railroad traffic
from the west is from three to four
hours behind time, but trains from
the east are running close to
schedule.
At Niagara Falls the course of the
river is still diverted by the ice pack,
leaving the American Falls practical
1y dry. Hundreds of people made the
trip on foot from the mainland to the
islands. Several Industrial concerns
which depend upon water power were
compelled to shut down.
Indiana Is leebound.
indianapolis, Feb. I7.-Indiana, es-
pecially its northern part, remains
SHOWS and ice bound. Hundreds of
1inemen working day and night have
been able to do little toward facilitat-
ing communication by telephone or
telegraph. Wires are heavy with ice
and have dragged down 30 many
poles that It will be many days be-
fore service is restored to normal.
Trains and electric cars on many
roads are feeling their way between
towns and cities, and in all communi.
ties business is greatly hampered.

dogs were in noticeably bad condi-
