Our The Naval Rondozvous at Hamp ton Roads Will Give That Soction of tho Country a Boom. HE Norfolk, Virginia, railway and land enter prise Teferred to iu yes tcnlay's Herald and In which many prom incut gentlemen of this county have interested themselves, is not wholly dependent for success upon tho commercial and pleasuro d vantages tho field Itself affords, but has as hacking for a successful beginning an event of not only national Importance, but Inter national importance as well the Naval Ken- dezvous of 18!)3 at Hampton Roads provided for by Congress. There Is hardly a doubt that the waters of Hampton Roads will bear upon its brood and ample surfaco such a collection of naval ves sels from all parts of tho globo as has seldom, if over, been gathered in rendezvous in an cient or modern hi6tory. The United States itself is tho host, the civilized nations of the world its guests, and it rests only with us to do what is right and proper to show our np prcciation of tho fact that this great gather ing is invited to meet at our threshold. Each nation will bo represented, not only by its vessels, but by somo great dignitary, and it will become tho duty of tho President of tho United States, of his Cabinet and of tho naval officers of tho United States to extend every possiblo act of hospitality to those foreign and American oiliccrs, sailors and marines who will thus spend from a week to n month iu the harbor and citj, but exclusive of the sight-sot rs who will bo attracted thcro, the number will hardly fall short of a hun dred thousand men. Norfolk, Portsmouth, Newport Nows, Capo Charles, Virginia Beach, Old Point, Ocean View and Willoughby Spit will bo tho rendezvous for tho visitors and to meet tho demands of tho immenso throngs traveling to and fro will keep the newly organized Norfolk and Ocean View Railroad Company busy, in return tor which tho coffers of tho company will bo overflowing when tho Naval Re view ccasos. And when tho accommodations for tho immenso throngs are sought tho Willoughby Hotel and Cottage Company will assumo a sphere of usefulness. Sinco tho publication of tho particulars concerning tho deal in yesterday's Hebald thcro have been a number of callers at tho office of the paper desirous of gleaning infor matiou concerning Norfolk and tho vicinity and the probablo futuro prospects of tho place. All visitors have been given the bene fit of what is mentioned above. So far as Norfolk is concerned, it is ono of tho best shipping ports iu the South. Tho unibor trade is tho largest of the Southern states, and so Is tho peanut trade. In shipping cotton it stands fifth. Truck is raised nearly tho wholo year round and some of the largest truck farms in thottato of Virginia are about Norfolk. Tho oystor, fish and wild game in terests aro also very largo and tho markets of Washington, Baltimore, Now York and other eastern places aro almost exclusively supplied by the shipments from this place. Tho population of the city of Norfolk is about 50,000. During tho past ten years it increased over GOper cent, and it is oxpectcd that this rato of increase will bo kept up for tho noxt ten years. Tho limits of tho city aro being rapidly extended nnd new and hand some buildings aro going up iu all directions. Duellings are in constant demand. Nino railroads onter the city and means of trans jiortalion aro also afl'orded by sixteen stoam- ship companies. Richmond und other southern points aro reached by tho James river, or by rail ; and Baltimore and Wash ington are within reach by either rail, orho Chesapeake Bay and Potomac river. Tho city has street railways (horso power) and is well paved and drained. The company orgnized in town on Thurs day has secured the charter of tho Ocean "View Railway, its rolling stock, land, and tho buildings thereon. Last year this road earned largo dividends Without carrying a colored person, yet tho colored people constitute four fifths of tho population. This road only runs to Ocean View now, but will be extended to the end of Willoughby Spit by the new com pany and electric motors will take tho place of the locomotives now. In use. Tho new company has also secured valuable properly which has already been laid out in lots, with parks located hero and thsro to beautify the aaco. One hundred and fifty of thoso lots were sold at a forced sale last ysar and brought an average price of $1C0, and at that time there were no prospects of reaching tho sites by rail. Of the 150 purchasers at liat sale 101 have promised in writing to build cottages as soon as they aro assured of allway facilities. Tho organization of tho new company carries with It this assurance and within two years eiory lot on tho tract ill be sold at from $200 to $1,000 each.

Three jewelry stores In town have been visited by thieves within a short space of tlmo. In two of the caws the stores were vis Red Immediately after tho owners had left them and in tho thiid enso tho thief com- mericcd work just after a policeman had passed tho place. This goes to show these thieves aro cool and calculating, and that t they aro following tho citizens and police closely und keep well informed as to their movements. It is hoped they havo nearly reached the enej of their rope. The report of the local post office fer this week, published in tho Herald to-day, shows that but one letter remains on th "uncalled" for list. This is a commendabls showing for the management and system ef the office. Mcssis. Lamb and Gable had a hot argu ment at tho meeting of the Borough Council Thursday evening, during which Mr. Gabl declared, "I claim this committee acted dirty and was bulldozed by one or two members.'' Tho public now has tho word of ono of "Do Ato" that bulldozing Is done in Council and some of tho members act dirty, hence another charge the Hei:ai.i has made is confirmed. Wonders will never cease. The savings fund fover has struck the alms-seekers. Yes terday afternoon a woman; who is a woll known solicitor of financial aid and con tributions of cast off clothing, was in n Main street storo begging for money. Hor plea was that she had made provision for $2,000 for tho benefit of her children in one of the saviugs funds of town aud she needed money to keep up the installments. A business man of town said to rac last night, "I wish you would see that the IIek au warns tho people against snap Christmas presents. Now Is tho time that they aro most in danger of being defrauded. About a week before Christmas each year fakirs flood the towns and offer tho innocent housewives attractive but very inferior articles at what appears to bo exceedingly low prices, but aro really less than five per cent, below tho prices asked for tho genuine articles by the responsible merchants of tho town. Tell tho people to bewaro of fakirs who offor jowelry dress goods, shawls, pieces of cloths and silks, etc., under the plea that they need money to get to their homos to spend Christinas. Almost in every instance pooplo find themselves deceived in such cases. A Mr, McGinness, of town, whoso first name has escaped tho reporters, was suddenly pulled up in his criminal court prosecutions at I'ottsville yesterday. Last week ho had l'rank Bonln before tho court on a charge of assault and battery. Mr. Bonln was found "not guilty," but directed to pay the costs. which amounted to nearly $170. Yesterday McGinness had Mrs. Margaret Hllhert before tho court. He charged her with assault and battery. Mrs. Hllhert was represented by M. M. Burke, Esq. Her story was that one day last August McGinness approached her iu au intoxicated condition and made an in decent remark, Mrs. Hilbert struck tho fel low a blow in tho face with her fist, and tho blow had sufficient force to knock McQiuness upon his back on the ground. After hcariuir all tho evidence the jury acquitted Mrs. Hil bert and put tho costs on McGinness, who was unable to pay them and went over to the county jail to Berve out tho amount. Ol!K.
