Walking on XEatcr.

> Captain stratton, the acuanant, yester-
day accomplished his long matured plan
of walking on the water, and demonstrat-
ed its practicability by crossing the East
River on foot, from Brooklyn to this
city. But few persons knew of the dar-
ing feat that was to he attempted and,
consequently, the Captain was not
troubled with many hangers on. The suit
which he wore was made of rubber and
very similar to that used by Captain
Boynton, with this difference, however,
that it was arranged in such way that
its heaviest portions were around the
pedestrians feet, SO that his body should
be kept upright in the water. Captain
Stratton proceeded TO the wharf at Jew.
ellis dock, which was partially destroy.
ed by fire some three weeks ago, and
here esonced hiInselfin his strange look
ing suit.
Then jumping in the water he started
for the New York shore. His body was
perfectly upright, and he could use his
legs to propel himself through the water
although 1t rose above his knees. He
had intended to land at Peck slip, directly
opposite JEWELS wharf, and would thu,
have had to cross the track of the Full
ton ferry boats, but the tide proved toe
strong for him, and he drifted down to &
point near pier TO- He had been noticed
as soon as he got few yards from the
shore, and the passengers on the diff rent
ferryboats loudly cheered him. As he
neared the shore great crowd gathered
on the pier and met him as he landed
The eagnerness of the near ones to hell
him out and those further away to get {
look at the Captain were somewhat EN-
barrassiIfg to him.
The crossing WIS commenced about
b af past one, and Captain Strslton lar
ded on this side about two o'clock. ii,
had intended 20 return on foot to Broos
Ism, but owing to the strength of the It'd,
he was obliged to abandon this prof .ct
and went back by the way Of Fulton
ferry. ". Y Herald.

THE NEW POPE.
The Truth About the BallOting

LONDON, req. ~, 1915.
tits stated on good authority In Rome
that Pope Leo XIII. was not chosen by
alteration, but by the requisite majority
of vote of the Conclave; that Cardinal
Bilio having declined to be a candidate
his parusans, numbering nine cardinals,
gave their votes to Cardinal Peccl; that
when the votes were counted all the
cardinals knelt at the feet of the Pope,
and that this act has been misconstr u ed
as an election by alteration.
In the first ballot ou the morning of
the 10Th few cardinal voted for Pecci.
AT the evening ballot his votes suddenly
increased to 35. On the following morn
ing he finally obtained A votes. A large
number of congratulatory kilograms
from soyereigns and others are being

A Handsome Car.

A costly and handsomely furnished
sleeping and parlor car, just finished at
the works of Harlan & Hollingsworth,
this city, for the Woodruff Sleeping and
Parlor Coach Company, was sent to
Baltimore, Wednesday afternoon. The
interior Of the car is 81 feet long, and at
night is furnished with SIX sections Of
double ferths. The flooring for the
upper tiers of berths slips down by a
novel mechanical arrangement, and Is
contained during the day in compart-
meDts along the sides of the car. There
are dressing rooms for ladies at one end
of the car and for gentlemen at the other.
The platforms are fitted with railing,
the gates of which are securely closed
while in motion. The car is called the
"Grace," and will remain on exhibition
at Camden Station Baltimore for a day
or two. 1t is in charge of Mr.. r. Ryan,
of Pittsburg, president of the Woodruff
company, and T. Harvey, conductor. 1t
will be taken to st. Louis and placed on
the line from that place to Peoria, llli-
nois.
A similar car also built by the H. &
III. Co., is now on exhibition al the West
Philadelphia depot, and is for the st.
Louis Ksok uk and Northwestern Rail-
road. 1t made lis first trip yesterday,
having tor its occupants Mr.. H. F. Ken
ney, general superintendent, and other
prominent officials of the Philadelphia,
Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad
Not the slightest oscillation was felt,
owing to the weight of the car being be-
low the centre of gravity, and so smooth
ly did it run that the tallow in the j5ur-
nal boxes WIS not melted, as is usually
the case "ith new cars. The in terror Of
the car is the same as the one above de-
scribed. The car will be inspected by
the Pennsylvania fficials TO day, after
which Mr.. +. Rahm, president Of the

Duty.
correspondence of the Globe.I
ST. PETER, June 10.-Ever since the failure
OF the grand jury of Nicollet county to find
an Indictment against Belts, the followers
OF Mr. Belts, and the swashbucklers of the
asylum ring have been pouring the walls of
their wrath upon our district judge-accus-
ing him OF almost every conceivable crime,
foremost among which is the charge that he
stated to man in Worthineton that sthe
Presbyterians of this city were worth ONLY
Sl5.OOO, and were not likely to put their
entire worldly possessions in a church."
Now this story Judge Cox states to your re-
porter, is totally false and has not the least
foundation in fact; he being very i'll on the
evening in question, and talking not more
than ten minutes the entire evening.
Ii Judge Cox is an enemy of the asylum
r1ng how IS it, that, probably knowing the
members of it-having experienced their
Dltter personal, professional, and political
hatred Tor years-that he appoints j. B.
heritage, one of their own friends, foreman
OF the grand jury? Why did he not appoint
another lawyer IN the place of county at
torney Ives, the hired attorney of the
asylum, to prosecute the matter? Or why
dld he not send for the attorney general?
Why did he not direct the grand Jury to
summon the reporter of the Senate commit
tee to know what Belts himself score to-
Ihe following extracts from that charge
OF MI. Cox, to one who knows the parties,
sounds like words from the Mount: sBless
them that curse and do good unto them that
despitefully use you.''
"You have no friends to reward-no
enemies to punish = X "You
will also see that no innocent persons suffer
under the damning imputation of crime,
mallciously charged without cause'' +
at will not be the fault of the
court If the wholesale practice of traducine

rights does not for once meet with a check
From my charge

or one OF the most outrageous calumnies cir
culated to the injury of innocent individuals
that wicked and corrupt men could invent"
And this is partisan hatred: This is the
language of a whisky judge? The libellers
OF Mr. Cox know better. The organs who
grind music for the ring hurrah: ave are
modestly endorsed!''
But what say you Mr.. GLOBE, and the
twenty or thirty editors and correspondents
Irresponsible parties" who have charged
supervisor Belts with deliberate murder?"
The grand jury failed to indict any of you!
You can shout: "Hurrah, we are endorsed!
Our charges are true! A Nicolet county
grand jury says So" Better, far better, had
the ring RETAINED from their ILL timed attacks
upon that charge, and the action of the
grand jury. The friends of the asylum are
OF course jubilant and consider themselves
safe for several years to come.

COMMUNISM.

The General Strike so Much Talked About
Fails of Realization--A-new Source of
Danger Discovered in a Reported Organi-
cation of Wandering Harvesters and
Tramps--Signs, Grips and Red Flannel.
ST. LOUIS, June 1.-THE Times this morn
ing has article regarding the general strike
which it has been alleged would be inaugural
ed to-day throughout the country, and says
there are no indications here either among rail-
road employees or other mechanics or laboring
men of any such movement and that none is
apprehended by employers of labor. It also
says the police and municipal authorities have
however. been on the alert and are fully pre-
pared to meet and at once any emergency that
may arise. Besides having the local militia
well in hand and ready for immediate action,
arrangements have been made with the proper
authorities at Washington for prompt assist
ance of the military force now at the United
States arsenal, this city, should their aid be
deemed necessary.
The article also says: Among the recent de-
velopments is that of thorough organization
among the tramps and wandering harvesters.
Those OF this class who have stopped in this
city or passed through within the past fortnight
have almost without exception worn upon the
left breast little scrap of red flannel, pinned
or sewed to the clothing. Inquiry among them
shows it is their badge, by which they recog-
nize each other. They have signs and grips
and talk mysteriously of trouble to come dur
ing the heated term. Their part, they say, will
not be to start the revolution but to act as
auxiiaries. They wait for the initiative to be
taken by railroad men, and when the strike
commences the country will discover the
tramps power, in the immediate cutting off of
telegraphic communications.
