WETMORE LOST 900.
One Nights Play at Baccarat Was

New York Sept. 19.-Willie C. Kettle

week. The next night Willie Wetmore

and lost $4,000 at the Nautilus club.
Willie WetmOre'S father, who belongs

FASTER THAN TRAINS.
New Machinery Enables Vessels to
Cross. the Atlantic in Three Days.

New York, Sept. 19.-The Turbfnia,
whose inventor, Mr.. Parsons, expects
to be able to cross the Atlantic in three
days, is now the fastest vessel of any
description afoat
With ordinary draught she can run
away from the fastest torpedo boats.
making twenty-four knots an hour
Under forced draught the Turbinia can
make thirty-five knots an hour.
Her coal will last for three hours
only, but in that time she can steam
more than 100 miles.
The Turbinia is 100 feet long, with a
beam of feet, and carries a crew of
10. She has 2,100 horse power, can pro-
duce $4,000 pounds of steam an hour,
and has a pressure of 235 pounds a
square inch in her water tube boilers.
Her three propeller shafts have each
three screws several feet apart. These
screws reVOlVe $500 times a minute
without causing perceptible vibration.
The engines can be raised to full speed
from a standstill in 30 seconds.
The Turbinia's engines are of the sim
pleSt type, entirely at variance with any
known marine machinery. The mo-
tor attached to the shaft consists of a
multitude of fan blades, exactly similar
in principle to the blade of an electric
fan.
Against these blades, incIosed in
a steam chest, the blades revolve, turn
ing the shaft.
Mr.. Parsons calculates that a Is, 600
motors, can cross the Atlantic in three
days. The coal consumption would be
1900 tons daily, but the extra coal bun
ker room required will be offset by the
smaller space devoted to machinery.
Such a vessel could carry as many
passengers and as much cargo as a YES
sci of the same tonnage propelled by the
ordinary machinery

added to his mothers fears. For young

CLASP PIN ONLY CLEW.
Dead Woman Found in the Woods on
Staten Island.

New York. Sept 19-The identity Of
the woman whose body with a bullet
woods near StapIeton, Staten island, is
still unknown. Whoever she was, she
took every precaution against fdent1n-
cation, and the corpse has been in the
woods so long that her features no
longer give a clew to who she is.
The police thought they had discov-
cred her identity when they pieced to-
gether a love letter, the fragments of
which were found near the hillside
road, close by. This letter was from
Miss Mary Claffey of 343 East Forty
second street, and spoke of a meeting
she was to have. with some news.
The publication of the letter brought
to the police station Thomas Sedgwicl1,
a coachman in the employ of Gen. Ward
who explained he was the recipient of
the letter, and had torn 1T up while
passing on the road. Miss Claffey was
found alive and well, at SO West Eighty
seventh street, where she is employed
as a servant.
The best chance for the Identification
of the dead woman lies in a pin, the
class pin of the graduates of the Amer
lean Institute of Electrical Engineers
said he had made $50 of these. Undoubt-
eddy one of the young engineers gave
the pin to the dead woman, and an en-
deavor is being made to trace the pin
through the graduates.
An autopsy performed by DR.. Mord of
Clifton, determined that the woman was
killed by a bullet fired into her right
temple. The ball passed directly
through her head and splintered the
skull on the left side, where it was
found under the skin. 1t was this frac-
ture on the left side that made the
case look like one of murder. There
were no other marks or wounds on the
body.
It was in all probability a suicide but
there is one puzzling feature. The tiny
pistol that was found by her side con-
tanned three shells, all discharged. Only
one wound was found.

GAGGED A CHILD.
Fourteen Year Old Girl Has a Severe
Trial With Burglar.

New York, Sept 19.-Grace Reardon,
IA years old, with a bandage around
her head, told today of her experience
with burglar who was neither gallant
nor successful. This burglar had found
the child in bed when he believed that
no one was on the particular floor of the
house he had chosen to rob. She was
half dozen when he passed through
the darkened room, and he did not see
her. He made a second tour of the
rooms to see if he was indeed alone,
and found Miss Grace.
Then she was wide awake, indeed
but before she could scream he had
forced a handkerchief into her mouth
and tied it behind her head He looked
for something with which to fasten her
to the brass bedstead, and this she IN
fortunately furnished to his hand in
the shape of her velvet hair ribbon. The
burglar placed the girls face down on
the pillow and tied her hands together
over the bedstead.
All this happened in the home of ex-
Alderman Michael ReardOn, Jersey
City. The remainder of the family was
in the rear of the dairy run by Mr.
Reardon on the ground floor. Grace
had gone to bed in the middle room,
and was just going to sleep when she
heard the screen in the rear window re-
moved. A man was preparing his ex-

WINNIE DAVIS DEAD.

After a Long Illness.

WINNIE DAVIS DEAD.

Narragansett Pier, r. L, Sept. 10
Miss Winnie Davis, daughter of Mrs.
Jefferson Davis. died at noon yesterday
at the Rockingham hotel, to which
place she came as a guest in the early
part of the piers social season. She
had been i'll for several weeks, and a
fortnight ago her ailment was diagnos-
icated as malarial gastritis. At times
her condition became very serious so
that consultations of physicians were
deemed necessary, but frequent rallies
gave renewed hope that she would ulti-
mately recover. During the past week
especially was her condition considered
favorable, and it was thought that her
removal from the hotel would be pos
sible in a few days, as the hotel had
closed for the season, leaving the
patient and attendants practically alone
in the house.
Saturday night, however, a relapse in
Miss Davis condition was noticed, and
throughout the night she lost strength
perceptibly. Sunday morning the ply
sicians said that the end was not far
off, and at noon death came to end the
suffering, which at times had been in
tense.
Mrs. Davis had watched unremit-
tingly at her daughters bedside, and

physicians of Mrs. Davis report she is
holding up with great calmness in her
affliction, and no fears are at present
entertained of her health yielding to
the strain.
Miss Winnie Davis, the Daughter of
the COnfederacy," was born in the con-
federate executive mansion at Rich
mond, Va, in 1868. She was educated
principally at home, owing to the
troubles surrounding her father, and
the publicity which attended all move
Hents of the Davis family. Miss Davis
attained her majority at Beauvoir,
Miss. Here she assisted her mother in
various ways and took her place in the
many social functions Of the place.
Sh was her fathers constant COM
panion. She assisted him in all his
work, and much of the information
which was required by Mr.. Davis in
his writings was secured for him by his
daughter. Her strong character was
marked from youth. She was engaged
to Mr.. WiIkersOn, of Syracuse, N. Y,
but shortly after her fathers death the
engagement was broken off. While no
public explanation of the rupture was
given it is well known that it was for
the purpose of maintaining her fathers

She received the name Daughter of

father made his famous trip through
the south. Mr.. Davis being unable to
appear, Miss Winnie was brought be-

REV. KULP IN DISGRACE.
Michigan Methodist Conference Dis
misses the Grand Rapids Man.


Lansing, Mich, Sept. 19.-Until re-
Gently Rev. George B. Kulp of Grand
Rapids was one of the leading Metho-
dist Episcopal ministers of the state. To-
day his parchments were surrendered
and he was dismissed by the Michigan
conference in session here.
Presiding Elder Graham, asking the
prayers of the conference, said he had
a task of great severity to perform, as
he presented the parchments of Rev.
Mr. Kulp, who had capitulated to an
unholy infatuation and had recently
fallen from grace. Rev. Mr.. Graham
said he had called upon Rev. Mr.. Kulp
after the publication of the scandal
concerning a woman of his congrega-
ton and had asked for an explanation.
Mr. Kulp had answered that there was
no explanation to be given. The an
swer was construed by Rev. Mr.. Ora
ham as an evidence of guilt, but he pro-
ceeded to make an investigation
Il found evidence" said Rev. Mr..
Graham, of a most damaging charac-
ter, such as appalled, my own heart,a
such as I pray God may never meet
again" The presiding elder presented
a note from Rev. Mr.. Kulp TO the con-
ference, which read:
Il have sinned and my punishment is
greater than 1 alone can bear. II there
is a way back to Gods favor and peace
7 want to find it. If there are any
have helped in the past who will pray
for me I will be thankful"
Rev. Mr. Graham moved that he be
permitted to withdraw, and B1shop
Merrill said it would be recorded that
Rev. Mr.. Kulp withdrew from the con-
ference under charges, which was
equivalent to a confession of guilt.
The conference also appointed
court to investigate charges agalnsC

her over the head with a chair.
Soon after Walter and Irene Reardon
ran up the stairs. The young man
went to the floor above and Irene to the
room where Grace was. Irene had ex-
pected to find the gas lighted, but it was
not. While searching for a match
somebody pushed her. There was a
noise at the window and then she
screamed. The family rushed up stairs.
OF the burglar there was neither sight
nor sound. The father found Grace in
a pitiable plight and cut the bonds
which bound her. She was dazed, and
could not give a description of the bur
glar She was all right today, but
could give no other clew than that the
man smelled of cigarets. Chief of Po-
lice Murphy took the mans handker-
chief and the hair ribbons to police
headquarters. The burglar had ran
sacked the bureau in the rear room,
but had taken nothing. He had over
looked Mr.. Reardon's diamonds, which
were in a little drawer.

LEXOW QUITS PUBLIC LIFE
He Issues a Statement Giving the
Reasons For His Decision.

Nyack, N. Y, Sept. Ex-senator Lex
ow today gave a statement to the Ny
ack Journal in which he positively de-
clines a nomination for senator or any
other office. This will throw the NOM
ination for senator to Mr.. GoOdsen of
Orange county, and assures the nOmi-
nation of Judge A. S. Tompkins of
ROckland for congress. The senator's
statement is:
I had hoped to be permitted to relin-
quish the commission which now hold
from the people of this senatorial dis
trict without the necessity of explana-
ton or the discussion of motive, nor
would I now speak did the subject con-
Germ me only. Recently articles have
appeared which convey the impression
that confusion and uncertainty exist
because of my failure to make a public
declaration, and that upon this will de-
pend the open candidacy of the gentle
men most prominently mentioned for
the senate and congress nominations
in this district. 1t is editorially stated
on the authority of Assemblyman Good
sell, that he is a candidate for the SEN
ate nomination only if / decline to ac-
cept the nomination, and the suggestion
is made that Judge Tomplins may be-
come a candidate for congress in the
event of the senate nomination going to
Orange county.
1T has been made manifest to me by
the situation in the district and from
personal communications of the gentle
men named that they, in the expecta-
ton that I might finally be persuaded
to reconsider my determination to retire
from public office do not wish to an
nounce their candidacy without reserve
and will accept nothing short of pub
lie statement as final and conclusive.
most cordially appreciate the courte-
sy and consideration which inspire this
attitude and in order to relieve the sit
uatiOn of all obscurity and remove any
further hesitancy in the announcement
of candidacy and the active prosecution
of canVasses for nomination, 1 declare
unequivocally that am not a candidate
for any public office, that I would not
accept a denomination to the senate,
and that this decision is fixed and unal-
terable.
1.-The party leaders, my associates in
the legislature, the newspaper cores
pOndents, and all who have inquired,
have known this to have been my def
mite purpose for almost a past year. I
have served two terms and a period of
five years in the senate. During that
time a large proportion of legislative
labor has devOlved on me. Under the
favor of my associates I have been in
trusted with the discharge of duties and
with responsibilities that have taxed
my energies to the utmost. They have
involved labor without stint and anx-
ieties commensurate with the import
ance Of the subjects. I feel that
have done my share.
Il have not accomplished all that I
may have wished, but if in the course
Of my service have been able to con-
tribute something to the betterment of
state and municipal government, to the
elevation of the condition of the people
and to the cause of humanity, I shall
feel that my effort has not been wholly
ness will be an abiding memory and
abundant cOmpenSa tiOn.''
