mon for participating
In a riot, which started
In a hotlse kept by ono
Andrix Stellawicz. Tho men arrested took
possession of Stellawiez's houso and started a
game of cards known as "CO." Several games
had been played and beer was flowing lively
when Stellawicz arrived homo and protested
that tho festivities should cease. The men
would not desist and whon Stellawicz at
tempted to stop tho game and ordered them
out a general light started. Glasses, bottles
and pieces of furniture wero freely used.
Stellawicz and his wifo wero badly beuten
nearly all tlio lurnituro m two rooms was
wrecked. As thu light progressed tho tres
passers split, fiomo of them turning to the
sido of tho boarding master and his wife,
This turn only served to increase tho bitter
ness of tho bsttlo and for nearly half an
hour tho houso was a pandemonium. Tho
walls and floors of tho rooms woro spatted
with blood, and sonio of the combatants lay
about, senseless. It was miraculous that
some of them wero not killed.
Stellawicz finally managed to escape with
his wife through a rear door and hastened to
'Squlro Monaghan's oflico. About fifteen
warrants wero Issued and the officers succeed-
cd in placing ten men under arrest who were
identified as having taken an activo part in
tho riot. Each of tho men wero placed under
$.'00 bail.
It Is but a few nights since tho paid police
wero called upon to quell a similar disturb

Family Kpl-
A plstolshot, foil, wed y cries "Stop thief !"
and "Murder !" startled the residents near tho
west end of Centre street at about .1 o'clock
this morning. As the neighbors drew near
they hoard a voico in the clear, cold morn
ing's breezo sny, "Ah, shut up, What's dcr
madder wid y or?" Immediately after thero
was another breeze which wafted thoso words
along, "Get iu hero right away." Then
thero was tho sound of a banging door and all
was quiet. This morning a solution to the
incident was found. A young woman left her
homo last night telling her parents that she
was going to spend tho night with a lady
friend iu Mahanoy City. Lato in tho night
the girl changed her mind, the slory goes,
and as tho last train had left Mahanoy City
she was obliged to walk to this town. She
was trying to effect an entrance through ouo
of tho windows of her houso when tho head
of tho family flrcd tho shot and yelled, "Stop
thief!" through tho second story window.
This caused the belated girl to give the
sceond ery nnd sho fell buck upon the empty
barrel, which went to pieces under her weight

money ho would ho safer, so ths Sheriff of

during the night, but the Sheriff mado a levy

Accoidlug to the statements of these creditors

what is believed will be satisfactory to all

Norfolk proper, by the cennus of 1800,
siiowed a population of 33,-151, an increaso of
Gl 4 10 per cent., but this census, like many
others, was orroneous. Norfolk to-day has
fully -12,000 people, whilo within two mile
radius of its city hall nt least 80,000 people
dwell. Thoro is also at least 5,000 floating
population.
Its items of trado for 1891 wero cotton,
0,000,000; lumber, $10,000,000; truck,
$8,0H0,00O; peanuts, $1,250,000; oysters,
$1,230,000, and coal, 1,550,000 tons, besides
many others of minor importance. Nine
linos of railroads, aggregated 17,000 miles,
empty the vast products of tho South and
West into numberless ships bound fur foreign
ports. Nineteen regular steamboat and
steamship lines do tho coastwise and interior
navigation.
Real estate values show an increaso for tho
past five years of $7, 718,000, while tho total
increase of tho cnllre stato was only $25,000,
000; and as to health, tho last authentic
statement shows a decrease in the death rate
from 34.10 in 1880 to 21.77 in 1800.
The banks of tho city aro among tho most
prosperous in the United States, one having
made 171 per cent, average for 22 years. Tho
total business for 1680 was $48,210,480 ; for
1601 it was $51,167,9(18.
Tho demand for stores aud dwellings has
never before been equalled, there not being
to-day, nor for somo time past, asingio vacant
house that a gentleman could occupy, and
there is little or no supply of either moderate
priced or cheap houses. Parties havo recently
gone thero with their furniture nnd were
compelled to take the samo back to their eld
homos. There Is no availablo vacant space
in the old part of the city, hence- the only
resort is tho annexed wards. Tho latter now
lack two essentials, one of which (water) is
now about being supplied by ' the city, while
the other is rapid transit, without which no
outlying district can be built up. Stores
eanuot be had at any price.
With tho consummation o( plans now on
foot tomake the existing city railways more
effective by tho uso of elcctrio motive power
and tho building of suburban lines, it is con
fidently asserted that at least 1,300 houses
will bo built and occupied within eighteen
months. This opinion is based upon a dally
insight into tho piesent needs and future de
mands. Somo of the most dispassionate and level
headed men In tho country have both spoken
and written of tho great promise of Norfolk's
future development. It has often been asked
why sho remained In tho background for so
many years. To ono familiar with her past
history tho reason Is plain.
For many years she had but little trade to
depend on, chiefly relyiug on Eastern North
Carolina and Virginia, which, added to tho
fish aud oyster business, made a living for the
self satisfied and contented people on earth.
It was said in the early days that a maiden's
dow er was a "negro and a canoe," the two
supplying all the ueedgll for the young
couplo.
FifUeil years ngo the first essential to
success was secured, i. e., water; next fol
lowed extended transportation fliollitlos, and
coal furnishing tho requisites, without which
failure was suie. Each year brings some uetv
adjunet, until no city in the South enjoys
greater confidence in the eyes of capitalists.
