QUEEN OF HER CLASS
GREAT sPEED SHOWN YESTERDAY
BY THE BATTLE SHIP INDIANA.

thirty-one knots eastward from Cape Ann
and return, and showed an average speed
Of 1851 knots per hour. which. IL not de-
creased by the tide allowance, will entitle
the Cramps. her builders. to a bonus OF
$4,000. as the ship was required to show a
speed of fifteen knots. while. for every
quarter knot above that requisite the firm
is entitled to $25.000. At the end of the
runs the Indiana had shown herself to be
the finest vessel of her class afoat. The
government board is satisfied. the Cramps
are pleased. but Fighting Bob Evans.
who Is to command her. Is tonight mani
testify as happy as a king. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that she had her trial prac-
tically in fighting trim. the battle ship did
not roll even in the slightest degree. which
is deemed wonderful by the naval experts
who were on board, as war ships OF this
class are noted generally for their ire
mendous roll.
The Indiana made her fastest time on
the last leg OF the course, doing the 6.2
knots In twenty-five minutes. forty-nine
seconds. an average speed OF 1874 knots,
developing over I.0O horsepower. and
winding up her splendid performance by
making a complete turn inside 40 yards.
One by one the mark boats we're
passed. and at 1206:19 the end of the
run of thirty-one knots was
reached. and the Indiana was swung
around for the return trip. Not much
time was consumed in this maneuver,
n at 12:2401h the run to the westward
and the finish line was begun This por-
ton of the trial was not attended by
any incident of consequence, although the
excitement was intense while the last leg
was being covered and the increased
vibration told of the grand final effort
which was being put forth to make a 1T
ting ending to a splendid performance.
The finish was passed at 2;30:2lia. and
without any reduction in speed a helm
test was made, which Captain Evans
afterward characterized as the finest he
had ever seen.
After the quick turn the Indiana was
brought about and, without any delay,
steamed slowly back 10 the PRESIDENTS
roads. Late this evening she started for
Philadelphia. During her run she developed
an average of nine thousand horsepower
and the trial was, as a whole, announced to
be satisfactory in every respect The east
ward run was mad against tide. IL IS a
question whether the corrected schedule
will increase the Indiana's average CT not,
but 1t Is thought possible that it may show
a speed Of l5.7o knots or over.

JurisdIction Of States I'm Certain

CHICAGO, Oct. 1s.-In the opinion handed
down to-day In the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals the court declares that
the juridiction OF the States bordering on
Lake Michigan extends to the middle of the
lake I'm cases where there is no conflict with
the admiralty laws or the United States.
The opinion was on the appeal case of An

son was killed in a collision between the
barge Parana. in tow of the Holland. and

DECATUR Ind, Oct. 1s.-This afternoon
at Ceylon. on the Grand Rapids & Indiana
railroad. about seventeen miles south of
here. occurred an accident In which three
bridge carpenters in the employ of the
road were instantly killed and several in
jured. The dead are:
JAMES gibson.
JOHN MALOTT.
WILLIAM BROWN.
Paymaster Harry Sullivan was the
worst injured in the pay car, being badly
bruised. The others escaped with
scratches.
Tn Wabash river is crossed at this
place by the road, and the three men
who met their death were making re-
pairs on the bridge. They had a small
truck car on the main track loaded with
bridge timber. The paymaster's car was
passing over the road. going south, fifty
miles an hour. The men pushed the truck
car on the sidetrack and were waiting for
the pay car to pass. James ellison, fore
man OF the gang. opened the switch. but

ing the other men push IL on the siding.
Engineer David 8ricker could not see the
misplaced switch until too close to check
the speed and ploughed into the car with
terrific speed, instantly killing all three
men, who did not have time TO jump from
the car. All were married and live at
Decatur. None of the trainmen were bad
ly hurt except the paymaster.
The locomotive, after going through the
truck car. struck a large fiat car loaded
With long timber. The heavy timber so
badly damaged the engine that 1t will
be taken to Fort Wayne for repairs to-
morrow. Jasper Metzger was conductor
OF the train. The locomotive and car were
thrown from the track, but the car was
soon replaced and within a short time
was on the way with another locomotive.
Physicians from this city and a wrecking
train went to the scene, and all trains
were delayed. News from the wreck is

For the next five minutes the hall was filled
with a babel OF voices intermingled with
the strains OF the band. which was request
