A DELIGHTFUL TRIP
TO "OLE YIRGINNY"
MADE BY SOME OF OUR
TOWNSMEN.
INTERESTING NORFOLK FACTS
Tho Oltv 1b Full of Grit and En
terprise SomGthlnR of Its
Politics Tho "Itepubs" Aro
Not "In It".
TRIP to Washington
would be Incomplete
If it did not inclulo
visit to tho battlo fields
in Virginia and a sail
on some of the fine
BtoAmers on the l'o
totnac river and Ches
apeake Bay. It is im
possible to teo all thti
Eights about tbo Capi
tol in less than two
months, but
after visiting Arlington
Heights, the city of tho dead: Alexandria
and vicinity, tho camp ground of the
Army of the Potomac; tho Jackson House,
whoro tire gallant Colonel Ellsworth mot
his death at tho bands of the rebel land
lord while tearing down tho Confederate
flag, and briefly viewing many other scenes
of interest, the traveler should take the
steamer "Washington," or the "Norfolk,1
which leave Washington alternately nt 7
p. m. and land you in Norfolk, Virginia,
the next morning in time for breakfast.
The cost of the round trip is but 53.60 and
$1 additional will give you a stateroom
large enouj-h to comfortably accommodate
four persons. And 51.50 in addition will
giyo you a still larger and exqusitively
furnished room. Tho boats of this line aro
tho best and fastest, and are officered by
gentlemen of experience and who omit no
courtesies. The meals lurnishod aro su
perier in many respects to thoEe served in
somo of the first class hotels on land and do
not c6st any more.
The writor took that trip this weok with
hundreds of others and ho did not regret it.
The scenery along the routo is exceedingly
picturesque and whilo daylight last tho.
passengers feast upon it. The first stop is
at Alexandria and the next Mount Ver
non. Old Point Comfort is tho third
stopping place. This placo was reachod at
0 a. m. A large number of passonEers
alighted and a largo ( amount of baggage
was unloaded and then the boat resumed
the journey to Norfolk, which place was
reached within an hour. To one who has
not visited tho placo for 27 years Norfolk
presents sbrae wonderful changes. It
shows great growth sinco the timo the
writer packed his knapsack and bid adieu
to Fort "Woodruff and startod for home.
The population has increased sinco that
time from 20,000 to over 00,000. Tho
negro element is in tho majority by a largo
number. Many flno buildings havo
wended their way skyward, tho city limits
have been greatly extended, business is
booming and everybody there appears
happy, Tho negro laborers aro thoro in
largo numbers and are always smiling or
singing. A soldier recognized by a badge,
cap, or other insignia, especially a veteran,
is always an object of observation" by tho
negroes, and thoy noyer fail to evince an
appreciation of the indebtedness they owo
the saviors of thoir race in this country.
An old colored lady informed tho writor at
Washington that if wo wantod to see many
ol her race Norfolk was the place to visit
and I found she told the truth. ."Washing
ton has its sbaro of negroes, but Norfolk
has an abundance.
After a drivo through Norfolk and a
visit to all tho points of interest, we visited
tho oyster packing house of Fuenstoin &
Chase. The buildings in which the in
uusiry is osiaoiisnoa aro largo and very
neat and cloan. At least 200 negroes, men
ana boys, wore opening oysters and sing'
Ing morrily. If thoy had any thought of
sorrow thoy failed to betray it. It was a
ploasant scene. These oyster openers make
from 52 to 54 a day. One of thorn made ?7
in one day, having opened 85 gallons, but,
of courso, such oarniugs are raro.
We then crossed the ferry to Portsmouth
and horo wo met another surprise. This
basiling city has also had a remarkable
growth. The navy yard, which was par
tially destroyed in 1861, is tho principal at-
traction and is worth a visit. Tho chain of
forts have been leveled and buildings now
occupy thoir eitos. Tbo change is io great
that the placo cannot be recognizod by one
who has not visited It for many years. A
handioino Confederate monumont stands in
a square about the center of the city;
Returning to Norfolk, we visited the
brick church which has imbedded in one of
its corners a cannon ball fired in the Revo
lutionary war, Tho building is used as a
museum of Revolutionary relics.
I had the pleasure oi nieoting Frank L,
Blade, Grand Army Commander of the
Department of Virginia. Ho is postmastor
of Norfolk and is very popular, Ho was
the unanimous choico of tho city for tho
position. In politics he is a staunch Re
publican and was elected sheriff twice,
when others of his patty woro counted out.
Mr, Slado is a perfect gontloman and a
soldier, and always has an open hand for
bis oomradee.
Mr. blade's assistant, "Billy" degg, Is
also a pleasant and whole-souled gentleman
and tho writer is indebted to him for many
favors. Ho gave us many points concern
ing tho city. "Billy" was elected sheriff,
but was counted out as every Republican
candidate for offlco in the city and county
of Norfolk will bo until thero is a revolu
tion there. The Republicans havo five out
of every six votes, but thoy aro not ''in it "
The olection system is worked on the
Kodak plan. Tho Republicans may vote,
but the Democrat) do the rest. All the
election efflcors are Democrats and thoy
rofu'O to count the votes.
P. O'Connor, Ktq., who can botbonoxt
Republican Congressman from tho Not folk
district, and who will not be counted out
because, in Gungressional elections .the
United States Marshall will be on hand to
see fiir play, was another acquaintance we
made. He is a good-natured and estimable
gontloman, a good talker and a general
favorlto. Ho desired to bo remembered to
his friend, Congressman James B. Rcilly.
William H. Gunn, ot tho Southern
Times, who divides his time in oditingbis
nteresling paper and acting as an officer
of a society for tho prevention cf cruelty to
animals, found tlmo t' fill our heads with
southorn idoas. He freely acknowledged
that tho Republicans aro not "in it" in
Virginia when it comes to coiotfine; votes.
Wo admired him for his frankness.
Notwithstanding its slowness, tbo street
railway of Norfolk is a mint for the
owners. Horses are used on tho lino.
On tho whole Norfolk is a very nico
place. In time it will bo one of tho leading
seaboard cities c f tho country.

STILL, BOOMING.
Tlio Soldiers' Monument Project Should
bo Pushed Along Steadily.
Watkin Waters Post, No. 140. Grand
Army of the Republic, to which our
citizens look for official action on tho
monument prcject, met last night but
failed to take any action. This failure was
due to a light attendanco of mombors,
many of whom havo not returned from
Washington.
Tho Post will meet agnin next Friday
evening, when definite official action will
be taken.
Meanwhile let the ball be kept rolling
and tho pledges to the project continue, so
that when official action is taken and an
official committee is appointod to take
chargo of the funds, tho committee will
know who may bo callod upon for assistance
in starting active work.
What will you subcribe, reader ?
It is proposod, after tho Post acts, to havo
a governing committee which, it is sug
gested, shall consist of three or flvo mom
bers of the G, A. R,, members of the sev
eral sociotios of town, and a committee of
tho business people. In solecting this com
mittee it is proposod to make it a popular
one, with no partiality to any society or
class. To bo a success the movement must
havo the co-oporation of all the prominent
and Influential people of town.
It will first bo necessary to havo a tem
porary committoo appointed to invito co
operation and when tho invitations are re
sponded to tho governing committee can
bo appointed. Then the time will come to
ascertain the cost of a monument, seloct a
site and a day for tho ovont, and after that
tho preliminaries for making tho day tho
greatest in tho history of the town will
command attontlon. An intelligent and
enorgotic committee will bo able to arrange
theso affairs in short time.
Tho peoplo of tho town and tho press of
tho county havo endorsed tho soldiers'
monumont project and havo declarod that,
besides boing a laudable object so far as it
relates to tho perpetuation in memory of
the deods In tbo civil war, will bo a great
bonoflt to the town in many respects.
To-day tho fund was given another ex
cellent lift and was Increased to 5591. O. E.
Titman pledged himself for 560 and
says bo will Ainko it 5100 if tho monument
is placed in tho centre of the town. Tho
Columbia Hoso Company will go 525 pro
viding the monument is placed in town.

ENLARGING THE POWER PLANT
Throo Additional Boilers to be
Put in and Other Arrange
ments to bo Made for
Increased Power.
F THE electric rail
way company can
carry out the plans of
its directors without
any moro injunctions
or othor like obstacles
the line will bo ex
tended through this and tho Mahanoy val
leys within a very short timo. The com
pany has made preparations to increase
power for tho proposod extensions and they
will bo put into operation as soon as the
Schuylkill Traction Company gets Us
charter, which will be somo day next
weok, according to present indications.
The power houso at Rappahannock will
bo doubled in capacity and with this end in
view tbo building of foundations for throo
new boilers has been commenced. This
addition will give tho boilor house a nest of
six boilers and, with tho now 250-horse
power dynamo, willafiord ample power for
the extension.
The work on tho Asbland extension of
tho road Is now going on in dead earnest.
Two car loads of Italian laborers arrived at
Girardvulo on Wednesday and wore at
onco put to work on this extension. One
gang is working west from Rappahannock
and tbo other west from Rig Mino Run.
Tho completion of tho Ashland extension
is expected by December 1st.
The proposed new worK in town Is at a
standstill and the trench opanod on South
Main street about ton days ago Is still open,
being guarded at night by a watchman
omployod by the railway company. The
trench has not been closed because tho
chances for tho borough authorities and
company agreeing upon terms aro very
favorable. Tho injunction proceedings re
main in statu quo, having been postponed
by consont until next Monday, but as n
special meeting of Council lias been callod
for Monday night It Is probable that tho
proceedings will again bo postponod. Tho
meeting of Council has been called to con
Bidor tho understapding arrived at by tho
Btreot committoe and tho company, namely.
that the company will pay tho injunction
oxpenses and extend tho road down Main
street to unorry and pavo it as it goes
alongj and as soon as tho work can bo done
th6 tracks now on North Main street will
bo taken up and stnngirs will b9 put in so
that tho track can be paved.
Tho railway officials, nor the borough
authorities, aro not disposod to say much
about tho matter for publication at present.
They prefer tho await tho result of the
mooting on Monday evonlng.
