stoned at Florence.
FLORENCE, May Civilian jacques,
an American gentleman from Newton,
Mass, was out driving with his daugh-
ter yesterday when mob of people
pursued his carriage, attacked it, pelted
it with stones, and severely injured his
daughter, who interfered in his defense.
Boston. Mass, May g. William
Jacques, of Newton, Mass, who, with
his daughter, was assaulted by an Italian
mob in Florence yesterday is the cleo
trican of the American Bell Telephone
Company, and well-known in Boston
and the principal cities Of this country.
He sailed from New York for England
and the continent about a mouth since
for pleasure, and intended to be absent
about five or six months. He was
accompanied by his wife and two
children, both daughters, one about s
and the other 10 years old. He is man
of about 40 years and of very quiet and
unpretentious disposition. He very
seldom expresses any opinion concern
ing public matters, and his friends are
entirely at loss to understand how
such a man could become the victim of
a mob. He is Il highly cultured gentle
man and was formerly n professor at
Johns Hopkins University, at Balti-
more.

and in this city, but went to sea when
Is years old. His first voyage was III n
whaler, which was wrecked at Fogo,
one of the Cape De Verde Isl
ands. At % he was captain of
a clipper ship of which he was part
owner. He twice circumnavigated the
globe, and was so successful in his
ventures that he was at one time owner
of twenty-one clipper ships. He in
vented a patent ventilator for ships,
mines and large buildings, which has
been largely used. The later
years of his life were given up
to per!ecting boat for life
saving purposes. With the Never
sink he was successful in getting the
highest awards from the French govern
ment, and it was with the hope of bring
ing these back to his home and exhibit
ing still better boat that he started on
his last VOYAGE.

serink, that had already crossed the At
lantic., The F. l.. Norton was fty-eight
feet long, had engines of thirty
of going eight knots an hour
under steam. She was schooner
rugged and carried from New London,
Conn, bound for Toulon, France, with
the following persons on board: Capt.
+. J.. Norton, Mrs. Margaret s. Norton,
Miss Annie Rickaby, a niece of the
Captain; chief engineer, James Me-
nelles; assistant engineer, Arthur Me
Lean; sailing master, {. +. Carlson;
John Anderson, Oscar Mileyar, the
steward; Joseph Marco and the cabin
boy, John Roberts.
The Norton was to stop at Fayal, in
the Azores, for provisions and coal. On
December 10 cable dispatch stated
that she had been seen passing Glib
raltar the previous day. 1t has since
been learned that that dispatch had its
origin in II rumor prevalent at the time
in Algiers, and is not supposed to
have been founded on fact, as there
have been many arrivals of fruit steam
ers here from the Azores and it
seems absolutely certain that the vessel
never called in there. The general OPP
inion is that she was caught in the
heavy storms of the early winter, that
her frail deck was smashed in, and that
she foundered. There is Il faint hope
that the crew may have been picked up
by some ship bound for Australia.
Capt +. l.. Norton was born at AL
bany, n. Y, in 1880, his father being an
officer in the United States army, who
had served through the war of 1912.
Capt Norton was educated at Albany

New ORLEANS, La, May 9.-The grand

ton on communication from Sheriff
Where and his deputies, asking for an
investigation of his Office. The charges
made by the grand jury in the lynching
case of the Indifference and sympathy
with the defense made against them,
are too general, and they request the
grand jury to give names and specific
charges 80 that all will not rest under

NO HOPE FOR THE NORTON.
The Little Yacht and the Crew Given Up
as Lost.


New York, May 6.-The friends of
Capt. l.. Norton, who with his wife,
niece, engineer, and crew sailed from
New London, Conn, November 24 last,
in his small steam yacht, on his way
to Toulon, France, have evidently come
to the conclusion that the boat has
been wrecked and the passengers
drowned. In the surrogate's court a
petition has been filed for the probate
of his viii, executed ten days before
he sailed. Mrs. Harriet ID. Warren, the
Captains sister, is the only surviving rel
ative.
The little steam yacht, the f. l..

he stopped at the wayside well,
Where the water was cold and deep:
There were feathery ferns 'twixt the moss,
stones,
And gay was the old well sweep.
He left his carriage alone;
Nor could coachlnan or footman tell
Why the master stopped in the dusty road
To drink at the wayside well.
He swayed with his gloved hands
The well sweep creaking and slow,
While from seam and scar in the buckets
side
The water FLASHED back below.
BE lifted it to the curb,
And bent down to the buckets brim:
No furrow of time or care had marked
The face that looked back at him.
He saw but farmers boy
As he stopped DER the brink to drink.
And ruddy and tanned was the laughing
face
That met his own DER the brink.
The eyes were sunny and clear,
And the brow undimmed by care
While from under the brim of the old straw
hat
Strayed curls Of chestnut hair.
He turned away with sigh;
Nor could coachman or footman tell
Why the master stopped in his ride that
day
To drink at the wayside well.
