GOT ANCHOR CHAIN
.FR0MCUMBERLAND
Historic War Relic Sent to Con-
federate Museum for Pre-
servation.

After more than forty-eight years
have passed. the anchor chain OF the
Cumberland. United States warship,
rammed and sunk In Hampton Roads
March 2. 1852. by the Merrimac. or
Virginia, a Confederate ironclad. has
been recovered in the raising Of the
Cumberland. and sent to the Confed-
crate Museum In Richmond.
The shaft OF tho Merrimac renamed
the Virginia by tho Confederates, has
for years been seen by visitors to the
museum, who view 1t from the por-
tico of the building. One end of the
Cumberland's anchor chain was placed
over tho shaft, where 1t lay In the
yard, aud the other trailed around
1t. The chain was so heavy that 1t
had to be drawn to the museum by a
strong team and put In place by a
force of seven men.
Captain Cooksey, In charge OF the
floating property Of the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railway. with Headquarters
at Newport News. was instrumental
in sending the anchor chain to the
Museum. He said that but for the
weight OF the anchor. he would have
sent that also. 1t seems queer that
these memorials of one of the most
important naval engagements CT tho
War Between the States, taken from
vessels that were opposed In battle
should at length come together agar
to remind onlookers of the part they
played In the fierce war drama OF thu
sixties.

Result of Recent Confer

Virginia is not likely to be called

Is not likely TO be held. Amos,
every member of committee OF cil-
zens appointed By Mayor Gaynor to
consider the matter expressed their dis-
approval of the plan
Possibly they remembered Norfolk
and st. Louis and Buffalo and other
towns which have pulled off worlds
Fairs within the past decade. AT all
events. they couldn't see anything in II
for New York.
Recently Captain w. W. Baker, OF
Chesterfield, was appointed by Cover
nor Mann to attend a banquet in New
York intended TO mark the launching
OF the campaign for an exposition The
veteran Virginia legislator attended and
liked the project. The object. of course.
was to interest as many States as pos
sible, and Captain Baker was chosen
because OF his experience in connection
with the States exhibit at jamestown.

There waS general discussion of
an informal nature, all agreeing that
an interurban trolley line from the
Potomac to the Atlantic would be a
great thing for Virginia and especial
~ for the section traversed.
1t was tho idea of the delegation
that the company could extend Its road
from Petersburg to Norfolk, and that

sent northward over the Richmond

coNvIcTs SENTENCED
Must Serve Extra Time for Having
Been In Penitentiary Before.

Fifteen convicts, thirteen of them
black and two white, appeared before
Judge Scott in the Circuit Court yes
terday for additional sentences. One
OF the negroes was woman, Ola
Wood. twice convicted for theft. who
received FIVE years more.
Leslie Matthews received life sem
tence. II was his third conviction.
His first sentence was in Portsmouth
for forgery. the second was for house,
breaking in Norfolk and this last
time 1t was grand larceny in Warwick
county that sealed his doom.
The oft dccried technicality of the
law was a happy loophole for Charles
Bowen, white man, we'll along in
years, who has thrice been convicted
OF cow-stealing At one of his trials
the indictment was for petty larceny,
and this fact alone saved Bowen from
a life term. for the law requires that
in order to receive the additional sem
tence for life each of the three Of
lenses must have been felonies. Petty
larceny Is not a felony. SO Bowen gets
off with but five years. The others
went up for varying terms.

NEW SCHEDULE
BRINGS PROTEST
United Commercial Travellers De-
clare c. & Q. James River
Service Hurts Richmond.

Declaring that the present passenger
schedule on the James River Division
of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway is
handicapping the business interests OF
Richmond and should be changed,
Richmond Council 16e. United Com
mercial Travellers of America, at a
meeting last night, appointed a COM
mittee to wait on the railroad officials
and urge that the old schedule be re-
stored.
According to the United Commercial
Travellers, the present passenger train
service is working hardship on the
city where the railroad derives a
largo revenue from freight and pas
sengers. 1t was pointed out by va
rious members of the organization that
tho old schedule was of immense value
to the business men of this COM
munity. 1t made connections with all

be applied from this source. It is
claimed that the change was made to
accommodate passengers arriving here
from Norfolk. bound West; but 1t Is
understood that few passengers are
served. According to the best infor-
nation, 1t appears that the change
was made at the request Of the Lynch
burg Board of Trade to give shoppers
