Stampede at Hampton excursion steamer causes chaos
A crowded Soldiers' Home wharf crowd swarmed aboard the Stemmer Ariel on the Bute Street line, stamping and forcing a hose to quell the rush. Several women fell overboard but were rescued. Guards from the Home helped restore order as the steamer ferried off the scattered crowd. Separations of parents and children occurred during the crush and the vessel made an extra trip to recover those left behind. Meanwhile Judge Tintgo Hanckel plans to sentence Charles Williams for murder of George Wea, with appeals possible to the state's Supreme Court. Other cases involve Phot Dodi and Emma Lane. Local ads announce Hood's Sarsaparilla, home goods, and bargain shoe sales at various Norfolk shops, prompting readers to watch Friday papers for more.
