Causes a Riot Among Seven BoardeTs
Who DemOlish the Dining Room.
NEW YOKK, November IA boarding
house at No. 50 Ogden street, Newark, is
kept by John II. Witten, who also runs
a bar, while his wife. who weighs about
$50 pounds, has charge of the house.
There are eight male boarders Seven of
the boarders were at the table last after
noon and Mrs. Witten was busy at side
table preparing some water crosses, when
a roast chicken wa placed on the supper
table. Jimmy, one of the bOarders,
reached over, and, seizing the fowl, placed
it OH his plate. Indignant remOnstrance
arose, but the appropriation Of the
lonely fowl announced his intention TO
hold on to IT. There WAS three additional
chickens in the kitchen ready for the table
but before the lady could interpose a word
the bOarderS arose from their seats and
SeiZing knives and crockery, general
fight began some attacking the man with
the fowl and some defending him. Mrs.
Wrtten screamed and ran from the room
to call her husband who with great dis
cretion remained on guarl over the prop
erty behind the bar. In the fight the Ia
BILE was overturned and crockery and food
were scattered about and trampled to
fragments. A telephone call was sent for
the police who arrived in fifteen
minutes. All but two of the combatants
had left the house. ThOs. Campbell was
found with i cash four inches long on his
neck running from his ear to his wind
pipe He was bleeding badly. John
Welsh had bad cut on the head from
some instrument, both eyes were closed
and his face was pounded until it was a
mass of bruises and cuts. The other
bOarders who escaped were said to be more
or less battered. The two men were taken
to the second precinct station in an ambu-
lance and their wounds were dressed.
They were permitted to return TO the
house. The dining room was a complete
wreck, even the table being broken into
fragments

Inrd Rrrerfnrd,, Daring Offer.

LONDON. November l5.-Owing 10 the
partial failure of recent experiments, the
public are beginning TO distrust the potcn-
cy Of torpcdoes. Experts, however assert
that the recent trials have not been alto
gether iair; that in order to make them so
the vessels attacked must necessarily be
under full headway and the torpedocs
launched rs in actual warfare. This sort
of n test is risky in the extreme, but il IN
underotood that Lord Charles Bcrcsiord
has offered 10 find and command yolun-
teer crew TO man the ship attacked. The
bravery thus dislaycd affords a striking
contrast 10 the foolish position of one Of
Beresford's ancestors. who offered an Irish
railway company Gi0, 600 TO allow two cS.
press trains TO come into collision for the
amusement of himself and guests.

Asphyxiated Himself.

BosToN, November 15.-Edgar Lombard
of the firm of A. c Lombard Sons one OF
the best known shipping firms in this part
of the country committed suicide this
forenoon in n strange manner at Young's
Hotel while laboring under fit of des-
pondency caused by family trouble. At
about 1870 o'clock the oder of escaping
gas was traced to Mr.. Lomhard's apart
ments, the doors of which were locked.
An entrance was effected through the
transom when it was discovered that the
deceased had entered his bath room and
taking a rubber drop light tube had
fastened one end over the gas burner, then
putting the other end into his mouth, lay
down and inhaled the gas until he was
asphyxiated.

A MARINE MYSTERY.
An Abandoned Vessel Rescued, Hut No
Trace of Her Crew.

Trace oil Her Crew.
CHICAGO, November IA marine
mystery seldom heard of is reported from
Escanaba. Saturday morning Captain
Coleman, of the schooner Moonlight,
reached that port and reported sighting a
large vessel on Whales Back Reef flying
q signal OF distress. The tug Delta went
out and found the schooner lshpaming,
coal-laden, and towed her to Escanaba.
The yawl was gone and there was no one
aboard, the crew having abandoned the
vessel without even waiting 10 secure their
tonnage, The vessel was not damaged,
and has not leaked drop since she was
released. Nothing has been heard from
the crew.
About the only solution to the mystery
that suggests itself is that the crew left the
vessel after she struck the reef to obtain as'
sistauce, and were either drowned or have
landed at some point and have not made
their whereabouts known. The port that
theywould he most likely TO 20 to is Escan'
aba, but rs the wind was blowing strong
from the northward they may have gone Ia
MenOmnee or some other point on Green
Bay If they reached Menominee, il is
possible that they secured q tug and are
now searchiug for the vessel,

Russia Will Wait.

Sr PETERSBURG RUSSIA, November IL.
In semi-otlicial circles here, Count
Kalnoky's speech has made bad impress
sion. Russian Diplomatic circles consider
that Kalhoky had no right TO refer to what
Austria had done in view of Russian occu-
patton of Bulgaria, seeing that the Russian
Government had never suggested the occu-
patton of Bulgaria. Still, the Government
adheres To pacific programme.
Some eminent officials have
advised the Car 10 instruct General kaul-
bars to adopt q less absolute tone to meet
the friendly disposition Of the Bulgarian
Government Meanwhile Russia will con-
tinuc to disregard the acts of the Sobranje.
Russia disappOvcs the candidacy Of "A
Meeklcnburp Prince or the Duke of Cum
berland, and will await reaction IN favor
of the Russian candidate.

Annual Meeting of the eStockholders-Pres-
ident Garrett's Report.

AEnuAl MeeIlDS Oh the
ident Garrett's Report.
BALTIMORE, Md, November 15.-The
annual meeting of the stockholders of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company was
held to-day, Reverdy johnson, Jr., in the
chair. The report of President Garrett
was presented, showing the receipts of the
main stem for the past year to have been
50, $50, 613, and the expenses S4,026, 1865,
or s., 237, ia less than the earnings. The
cost of operating the road was $40 per
cent. upon the earnings. The whole
value OF the sinking funds is stated at
S718, ,739. The Washington branch earn
ings were 1925, 800, and the expenses, $50, :
So, showing net earnings of 1924, sos
The earnings of all the branches, including
Washington, were SIS, Az, 436, and the
expenses $12, OBS, TAP, leaving a net bal
ance of Sc, 1856, ,694.
Speaking of the Philadelphia branch,
the President says: The line between
Baltimore and Philadelphia was opened
for passenger and freiget traffic on the 10th
ultimo. The road is strictly first class,
being laid with steel rails and stone bal
lasted Commodious passenger stations
and freight warehouses have been erected
ut MANY points. The work on this part of
the route has necessarily been difficult and
tedious, but its completion is anticipated
in the month of December, when passen-
gers from New York will be carried with
out change of cars to Baltimore, Washing
ton and all points on the system Of the
Baltimore and Ohio Company. The Della
ware Branch Railroad, extending from a
point on the line OF the Schuylkill River
East Side Railroad, is also nearing COM
pletion. BY this branch the principal
docks and large manufacturing establish
ments on the Delaware river will be
reached"
"Ofthe telegraph, he says: "The increase
in the earnings ofthe Baltimore and Ohio
Telegraph Company for the fiscal year
ended September 80, has been 172 per
cent compared with 1884, and 4l.2j per
cent compared with 1885. In the midst
of acute competition the large and increas-
ing patronage thus commanded demon
strates the strength oil the company and
the value and efficiency Ofits service. The
fact that the telegraph company, in addi-
tion to its value in facilitating the varied
business operations Of the railroad COM
pany, has not only paid to that company
the agreed annual rental for the use of the
wires on its railroads not needed for rail-
road purposes, hut has also shown salts
factory net earning capacity"
There has been no change in the Board
of Directors except that John X. Cowan
was elected in place of II. Clay Smith, de-
ceased.

4 Civil Service Case.

NEW YORK, November l5.-ThOmas
Harris, one of the employees of the Custom
House was re-examined recently with a
view to promotion. Notwithstanding the
fact that his percentage was the highest,
the promotion will be given to another
man, "an honorably discharged soldier, "
to whom it was claimed the law gives the
preference. Harris wrote to President
Cleveland to know why he had been
set aside by a man far below him
in the Civil Service Examination.
The case was referred to Collector Ma
gone, who in turn referred it to the Civil
Service Commission. Yesterday their de-
cision was received. They are of the
opinion that preferences are for admission
to the classified service and do not extend
to promotion therein. They hold that in a
competitive examination for promotion in
the Civil Service, those graded highest in
the register should in all cases be the first
certified to the appointing officers.

Pleasures of Kentucky Life.

LOUISVILLE, KY. November IS A
Coarier-,I Journal special says: The war in
Henry Co, KY, between the French and
Eversol factions has broken out
afresh. Almost every citizen OF
the county has taken sides
with one or the other of these mountain
merchant princes as they are called. Both
factions seemed TO come to the conclusion
that there can be no settlement except by
determination. Both factions are armed and
the first shot will bring about n general war.
The feud between French and Ev-
ersOl dates back several years.
They are rivals in business and
control the entire trade OF
several mountain counties. The report
that both were killed some time ago was
not true.
