TUG GUT THROUGH

Channel Kept Clear After Hard
and Difficult Work by
City Tug.
FIRST FREEZE SINCE 1907
Stream Frozen From Bank TO
Bank Until Warmer Wca-
tllcr Caused Drift.

Since tho first bitter cold days short
1y before Christmas. tie city tug
Thomas Cunnin CHAM, ST., has been
busy in the narrows between here and
Curtis Neck, keeping tho channel clear
of ice which UP to yesterday froze
entirely across the river and threat
cned at one time TO seriously impede
navigation. BY spending the entire
day running back and forth through
the tfickest of the flow and with the
aid of the largo boats coming tip in the
carly morning, the tug has been able
TO keep tile channel clear every day.
Last night when shn anchored at the
dock. Captain Cunningham said that
unless an unexpected cold spell oc-
Cured. the river would soon be clear
This is the first time since the win
ter of 1907 that the tug has been re-
qiired 10 do work OF this kind. Then
the ice was not thick and was readily
broken up. About ten years ago when
tho river was mass OF Ice from the
mountains to point below Curtis
Neck, the tug was continually among
the curves and narrows below Rich
mond.
lee bt-eaking is one OF the purposes
for whah the boat was intended, and
1t was Constructed for that kind OF
work. sinse first put into commission
the Cunningham has many times pre-
vented serious delays and damage to
shipping destroying ice gorges before
they became strong enough to resist
the force Of her engines
Though the recent cold weather did
not last long enough to produce ice
OF great thickness, according to Cap
tain Cunningham. there has been a
great deal of it. Up to last night long
stretches OF the river above the city
were frozen from bank to bank. but
the warm, damp weather is expected
to break this. and tho tug will remain
on duty TO see that It is kept in mo-
ton until there is no further posi-
bility of any part OF the channel being

PROPERTY OWNERS
HAVE COMPLAINT
Deep Cut at Park Avenue and
Sheppard Street Cause OF
Big Howl.

Property owners on Park Avenue
beyond tho Boulevard believe they
have q kick. Certainly drivers of au-
tomobiles and horse vehicles have 9
good ground for, complaint, though
Just where the blame lies does not
seem apparent At all events there is
Il most dangerous place at the inter-
section of Park Avenue and Sheppurd
street, which may result In both the
city and the adjoining property own
crs having to pay heavy damages in
the event OF any accident.
IN the survey OF the annexed terri
tory. provision was made for cutting
out knoll In Park Avenue. between
ing the grade run steadily upward
from the Boulevard, thus giving the
proper waterfall for surface drainage.
and for the underlying sewers which
are to be laid this summer The cross
streets are TO be graded from Monu-
ment to Park Avenue.
Monument Avenue Itself has been
graded out of the bond issue for i'm.
pruvement of the annexed territory
some months ago the street Committee
to the grades established by the Coun
ell. this step being taken as 1t is along
that street that one of he main trunt
sewers OF the new section Will run
and 1t would save double cutting TO dt
the grading at once.
Park Avenue west OF the Boulevard
the property owners objected. y NUM-
Der refused to release the city from
any supposed damage 10 their prop
erty, and as tho accrued damages have
made the cost prohibitiye. the grad
ing and Improvement OF Park Avenue
have been postponed. But meanwhiL'
the cross street has been cut through
and the traveller out Park Avenue finds
at Sheppard Street pitfall resern-
bling a railroad cut more than six
feet deep.
Drivers of automobiles and horse
vehicles are expected to scramble in
and out again as best they can. Just
where the relief lies does not appear
1t is possible that the committee may
order the grading of Park Avenue any
way and appoint court commissioners
to assess the damages, If any, less the
benefits accruing to the AUDITING prop
erty owners. by reason of the Improve.
ments made.

JUDGE RHEA MAY
RUNFOR CONGRESS
Corporation Comlnissionep Sole
tied to Make Race in
Ninth.
Desirable Accounts Solicited.

According 10 statement published
In a Bristol paper. thera Is quite a sen-
eral demand in the Ninth District that
Judge William II. Rhea, OF the State
Corporation Commission, be tho man
who shall lead the oft-defeotcd Demo-
cratic hosts OF that district 10 victory
next November. 1t Is pointed out that
Judge Rhea, who was twice elected to
Congress, Is the, only Democrat who
has succeeded ii Carrying the district
since Cyclone Tim" MARSHALL went in
on the Democra TIC .idal wave, Of s5oo.
Judge Rhea was in Bristol Thursday,
end told a reporter that he had many
requests from citizens OF the district
TO enter the race. He did not, how
ever, intimate what his decision would
be. The Corporation Commissioners ar
rived in Richmond yesterday. and told
a representative of The Times-Dis-
patch that lie had been solicited from
many quarters 10 become = candidate
for Congress.
Republican Losses.
The recent Republican slump in the
Ninth District, where that party's ma
jority was largely reduced, losing 3
member of the House OF Delegates, has
encouraged the Democrats, who are in
clfned to the belief that the long Slemp
reign IS about TO end.
1t is pointed out that if the Demo-
Gratis expect to do anything this year,
they must be getting busy. Thorough
organization, In the opinion of party
leaders, is the only chance for u re-
turn of Democrat to Congress. De-
sptte the Eeui1blican maiorftv an fine
Ninth it is fact that more Demo-
cratic votes arc cast there in every
election than in any other congress
sfonal district of the State. This is true
notwithstanding the feeling of hope
iessness which usually pervades the
Democratic party of the district. With
such an organization as Judge Rhca
had in the late ninetics, a political re-
volution might be worked.

she confirmed this statement to Mr..

morning, when the lifeless and fear
fully mutilated body of Miss Anna
Lloyd, a Cable young business Wo-
near the CirGinnati Stock Yards, i'll
the western end of the city.
Miss Lloyd was the secretary of the

End, She had but short distance to
walk from tie Office to the car line.
but had to pass the ravinc, a secluded
spot ovcrrun with weeds,
Her body was discovered this morn
ing by II party Of boys. The trampled
condition of the ground about the spot,
the torn and disheveled state OF her
clotllins showed that the young NO
man had made a valiant fight against
her assallant before she succumbed to
her death wound. a terrific blow oper
the head chat crushed her skull. Her
throat was cut from ear to ear. but
physicians who examined the body be-
lievc that the fiends slashed the body
after tho life of their victim was eX-
tinct There was also evidence Of an
clue to the crime to-day. but secured
evidence that fixed the time OF the
murder between H:a0 last night. when
Miss Lloyd left the lumber Office. and

A few minutes before tho latter
hour passcrbv picked up mum
that was identified to-day as that Of
the young woman, and which she
dropped when assailed. but this pc
dcstriau did not hear any noise of the
affair Her pockctbooll, which con-
tanned only small amount OF change,
was found several squares away from
the scene of the murder. Tho tienl
did not take her watch nor the three
rings she wore, one Of them ain en-
gagemcnt ring. thus showing that
robbery was not the motive for the
attack.
Miss LLOYD was most cstimable
young business woman about thirty
five years old, and had won promotion
Il membership in the firm and only
recently was elected secretary of tho
! company She lived with an invalid
mother in the East End SHE WAS en-
