An Incident at Petersburg which Chilled
the Virginians.

the Virgnians.
PETERSBURG, Va, Oct. Am incident
which occurred here Saturday at the re-
ception given to the liberty bell is the
talk Of the town. A member of the Phil
adelphia escort committee leaned from the
platform car in which tho bell was rugged,
and lifting a small negro baby from the
arms of its mother wrapped it in the
American flag and seated it upon the beam
from which the bell was hung. The Incl
dent sent chill through the residents,
and, although there were no Kisses or other
demonstrations of disapprobation, many
of them turned on their heels and walked
away.
Prior to the arrival of the bell nearly

pany, the two military companies, the

ness was suspended, and upon the firing
of the national salute all the steam whis-
ties and bells throughout the entire city
rang forth the glad tidings that this most
priceless of all American relics had arrived.
The Roanoke light infantry, the Roam
oke machine works guards and the JEFF
Davis rifles Of Salem guarded the bell
during the stay of one night in the city.

BAD FOR DURANT.

ciassmate Destroys the Last shred OF Ills
Weak Aiibi.
SAN FRANCISCO Oct THE EXAMINER
says: lone Of the greatest sensations in
the Durant case, and one which comes as
q climax with crushing weight upon the
accused, has become the property Of the
prosecution. Theodore Durant not only
confessed TO classmate that he had not
notes of DIR. Cheney's lecture but he beg
ged his friend 20 take his notes to his
mother, Mrs. Durant, that they might be
copied.
have no notes Of that lecture, the
accused student said, and / only need
thom to complete my alibi
when the student TO whom Durant
made the confession takes the witness
stand, the crumbling fabric Of the defense
will fall. The student TO whom Durant
made the fatal acknowledgment is his
elassmate and friend, Dr. Gilbert f. Ora
ham. il was not Graham's purpose to tell
what he knew. For the sake of an old
friendship for the memory Of his college
days with Durant Graham had held back
part of his story
He had informed the police that Du-
rant had asked him for his notes, but he
did not wish TO tell the prosecution the
whole story and repeat Durant's confcs-
sion that he had no notes Of that lecture.
Like Charles A. Dukes, he did not wish
10 injure his olassmate, but now he has
destroyed his last support He has given
the prosecution what they sought so long
In vain He supplies through Durant him
self the proof that the accused student
was not at the lecture delivered by DR..
W. +. Cheney on April 3. He explains
why Durant quizzed' with h. r. Glasier
on April TO- Hereveals Durant's purpose
In asking Charles A. Dukes TO say that he
saw him at the lecture.
He tells why an attorney for tho de-
fense copied Glasier's notes in full after
they had been placed in custody of tho
property clerk of the police department.
lie uncovers the motive which inspired
Durant to plead with G. " Cross and
nsk him TO remember that they talked on
the steps Of Cooper college until they were
late for DIR. Cheney's lecture. Graham
comes into the case as witness of the
greatest possible Importance to destroy
the only possible alibi which Durant has
attempted to prove.

A REDHOT RIOT
Starts During Knights Of Labor
Parade in Philadelphia.
One Man Seriously. II Not Fatally Injured
His Assai!ant Arrested.

Philadelphia, Sept. "A riot occurred
here, this morning, in connection with
the National Labor day celebration, as $50
knights Of Labor, who are employed in
the clothing factories, were marching up
Fifth street, on their way to join the labor
parade.
When they had reached Market street,
John Preole, the driN er of heavy wagon,
attempted to drive through the line.
Several of the Knights seized the horses,
and Preole, becoming angry, jumped to the
ground to free the animals. AS he did so
Il score of the paraders surrounded him
and q fight began.
A number Of other drivers who were in
the vicinity went to Preoe's aid and in a
short time about 200 men were pummell-
Ing one another with every available
weapon. The riot lasted for 20 minutes
and battered heads were numerous. A
platoon of police finally succeeded in dis
persipg the crowd.
Mr.. Fox, one of the paraders, received
a serious scalp wound and was taken to a
hospital. Preole, who is alleged to have
struck Fox with an iron bar, was arrested
and held without bail for hearing, tomor-
row. there being doubt as to the extent of
l'oX'a injuries.

where carload of chorus girls were ship
wrecked, and the other ten were still be-

sions operas is very much like calling
Mark Twain's inimitable smartness criti-

WILLIAM CRANFIFID

1.-THE English tar who will endeavor to win
the Americas cup with the Valkyric.l
athwartship body much similar to that Of
the Vigalhnt. In several particulars she
seems to have an advantage over the Vigi-
liant. They are greater quickness in stays,
greater power of form, lower center of
gravity of weights, greater power to carry
sail and a sharper, easier bow and greater
per cent of sail to wetted surface, length
for length. She has wonderful speed in
light weather, but is not so formidable in
a blow
William Cranfeld is the skipper of the
Valkyrie. He has a genial manner, and
his bearing and demeanor suggest a true
specimen Of the Saxon seaman. About
half dozen of the family to which he be-
longs were prominent yachtsmen, and his
brothers, Lemon and George, were in the
first flight of sailing masters.
Cranfield has been with Lord Dunrave,
several years, having succeeded the Itchen
ferry skipper, Tom Draper in the vaIkyric
L in her second season. Cranfield's sail
ing of the May for Mr.. John Duncraft in
1856 brought him prominently into notice
and made it plain that If his brothers best
racing deeds were to be equaled by one of
the family he was the man to accomplish
the task. BE did so fairly, as the winning
