A cunarder spoutine Like a Whale.


The two new Cunard Atlantic liners will be
nearly as long as the Great Eastern. Apropos
Of this subject, Mr.. William Cunard the head of
the company that bears his name, referred the
other day to the pioneering period of transit
lantic steaning, when the system was neces-
sarily in a more tentative stage. and related an
anecdote of the ingenuity of one Of the ship
carpenters in those early days.
One of the ships came into collision and her
bow was smashed in A bulkhead was put in at
the nearest landing place to Keep the water out
OF the ship. Then the ship carpenter put up,
connecting with the damaged portion Of the
vessel, q capacious chimney, and Mr.. Cunard
asked what on earth that was for. ooh, that's
for her to blow" was the reply.
''Sure enough" added the relator of this
stoyy, experience showed that he was right,
for directly they got to sea and the waves
washed through the damaged bows, air and
water spurted from the chimney Just a. from q
spouting whale, and probably they would NOT
have got safe through their voyage but for the
carpsnter's foresight

A Fatal ACCIDENT.
Alice Parker Didn't Know That the Pistol
Was Loaded.

Was Loaded.
There are several persons serving time in
jail for carrying pistol, and yet Alice Parker
. young colored woman, had one Of the law
breaking weapons yesterday to present Il
James c. Lewis, q young colored man Of whom
she thinks more than she does her ordinary &C.
quaintapces. Her kindness, a. she thought,
soon resulted in sorrow and caused trouble
which will probably end in severing their &C
quaintance on this earth. Alice went south in
the fall and paid q visit to friends in Alabama,
and like many others who go OF on visit she
remembered her lover and bought for him Q
32-caliber Smith 4 Wesson revolver. Alice re-
turned home and yesterday about noon, when
Jim came to see her, she thought she would
give him Q pleasant surprise. The pistol was
In her room and she ''didn't know It was
loaded
THE PISTOL. WAS LOADED.
II was loaded, however, and no one ID better
aware Of the fact than Jim's sweetheart, for
soon after she produced the dangerous piece Of
steel and lead bullets Jim fell to the floor APP
parently MORALLY wounded Alice had reached
out her hand to give him the weapon. Her
finger was on the trigger and IL was self-acting.
1t acted at the wrong time, for the barrel was
pointed in the direction Of Jim's head, and he
got the bullet right in the forehead. The bull
let went through his skull and probably entered
the brain. The wounded man threw up his
hands and fell to the floor, while Alice dropped
the pistol and called for assistance.
THE WOUNDED MAN RENAMED CONSCIOUS.
Although the bullet had entered his brain
Jim was still perfectly conscious and remained
SO for more than an hour. Policeman Barry
was called to the house, No. 4S2 School street
southwest, and the injured man told him the
circumstances under which the affair happened,
generating Alice.
He was very much worried about the welfare
OF Alice and protested against her being ar
except as above stated.
He was taken to the Emergency Hospital and
Alice was arrested. As the mans condition did
not appear to be extremely dangerous at that
time and there being no doubt about the man
ner In which he was injured Lieut. Vernon re-
leased her and she returned home. Later in
the day, when the condition of the man was
reported by the PHYSICIANS as critical. Alice was
rearrested and taken back to the station. She
said she did not know it was loaded. Her
brother in Alabama. she said, got the weapon
for her and she put 1t In her trunk. Yesterday
Jim called at the house soon after breakfast
and she invited him to her room to give him
the present. She thought that her brother here
must have had the pistol and loaded it.
ALICE Is UNDER ARREST.
Alice is a woman Of excellent reputation, but
she will be held until the man dies or gets bet
ter. His chances for recovery are very slim,
as the bullet is undoubtedly in his brain.
