but that is what happened to Lee Chal-
fant, substitute engineer at Wolff Bro

~ scalded, he leaped through binding
clouds of steam, raked the fires from un-
der the boilers, and prevented an explo-
sion that would have jeopardized the lives
of 500 employees I'm the building.
The regular engineer of the plant Is ILL.,
and Chalfant was working as substi-
tute This morning he noticed that There
was too much water in the boiler, and he
opened a valve TO let some Of II out. Then
he went around in front TO watch the
gauge, while the waite ran into the well.
He soon saw that the water was going
out too fast. and that jet of steam was
escaping with great force. In trying TO
shut it off he was badly scalded, but in
spite Of the pain, he thought only OF the
horrible consequence of an explosion.
There was but one thing TO be done, and
that was done quickly. Selling a shovel,
he sprang TO the furnace doors and be-
gan raking out the fire. The boiler cooled
down, and the danger point was passed.
Then Chalfant gave the alarm. He was
taken TO his home, where he lies in pre-
carious condition, but with prospects for

THE CAPITALIZATION TOO SMALL

A telegram from New York last night
announced that the Atlantic Transports
tion Company. with headquarters at New
port News, had gone into the hands OF
receiver.
General f. p. Meany, president OF the
company. was appointed as receiver IN
New Jersey court yesterday.
The Atlantic Transportation Company
is new corporation, being not year
Old. General Meany. general manager OF
the American Telephone and Telegraph
Company, and ex-Governoy McCorkles OK
West Virginia, are among the corpora
tors. The former is president Of the com-
pany and the latter general counsel.
HAD THE NEWPORT NEWS TRADA
The company was formed to transport
coal in the coastwise trade. IL controlled
the greater portion OF the coal traffic out
OF Newport News. The company has
five-year contract with the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railway Company, by which IL
may obtain annually as much coal az II
needs up to 100000 tons, making a MAXI
mum of 100000 tons for the lie OF the
contract
Ex-Governor MacCorkle organized the
company 1t was capitalized at S.ooo,ooo
Several vessels formerly used I'm the
Lake trade were purchased. and these
were put in service ~ the new company.
The trouble seems to be that the capi-
talization was not sufficiently large. Coal
Is slow TO yield money. and the company
could not afford to wait. Consequently ie
was forced to the wall.
EXTENT OF FAILURE UNKNOWN
1t is Z known what Is the proportion
OF assets 20 liabilities. II is said that tho
transportation company is indebted In a
considerable amount to the Chesapeake
and Ohio.
The Atlantic handled solely the New
River and Kenawha coal. supplied BY the
Chesapeake and Ohio Company. 1t vir-
tually controlled the entire coal traffic OF
Newport News.
1t is believed that the embarrassments
of the company win prove temporary,
and that the splendid business abilities OF
General Meany will enable him to tide II
over its present difficulties.

PUBLIC BUSINESS IN OUR HANDS

HABANA January 2.-The people OF
Habana are in a joyful mood to-day, in
| spite Of the disappointment experienced
over the fact that the projected festivi-
ties have been postponed. The resentment
in the city has subsidized, and given place
to composure.
The city was tranquil last night. Major
General Brooke's impressions Of Cuba
are pleasing. He regards the people as
being emotional mild, and orderly.
Americans are now conducting the Gus
toms. the post-office. and the telegraph
lines-in fact. all public business-with
Spanish and Cuban employees. Colonel
Bliss. the American Collector OF Customs,
has been instructed by the authorities at
Washington not to appoint Americans to
subordinate places in this or the other
custom houses. Only Cubans are to be
appointed.
SOCIAL FUNCTIONS COMING.
After the General takes up his head
quarters In the Palace, Mrs. Brooke will
arrange a series Of social functions.
Headquarters for the present will be at
the Generals hotel.
Generals Brooke and Ludlow have seen
many Of the prominent Cubans; they are
easily accessible, and wish TO make a
wide personal and OFFICIAL acquaintance.
AS the civil police is slowly formed the
American troops will be sent into the
country.
BATTERIES LANDED.
The batteries Of the Second Artillery
have been landed from the United States
transport Chester. One battery was sent
to Moro Castle, another is garrisoned at
Cabanas Fortress, a third is stationed
near the Palace, and the other three bat
teries are camped at Vedado.
FThe United States transport Saratoga
arrived here to-day from Charleston, with
the Third Nebraska on board.
CUBAN SOLDIERS DIsARMED.
Two Cuban soldiers, carrying rifles,
were stopped by a patrol of the Tenth
United States Infantry in Galiano street
last night, and requested to give up their
weapons. They did so, after an argu-
ment.
1t developed to-day that the company
Of the Indiana regiment which waved
Cuban flags during the parade yesterday.
was not arrested. as reported last night.
Investigation shows that the flags were
distributed TO them by Cubans in the
crowd and that the act of waving them
was thoughtless, and not prearranged.
CUBANS IN SUNDAYS PARADE.
twenty-five Cuban horsemen, well
mounted and armed joined the column
at the Prado, rode TO Central Park, and
debouched into a side street. They
aroused considerable enthusiasm.
An immense American flag was yester-
day hoisted on top of the 20O-foot shears
at the naval dock, where it could be seen
for miles around.

Every year we find noted upon the hest

some one from the brink of the grave.
YET as to one claim regard-
ing Buffalo Lithia, there have been
doubting Thomases. Despite the fact
that the claim has been estab
llshed by ocular demonstration. and
tue evidence of men OF unimpeach-
able veracity, these doubters have held
that there was some mistake. because the
results asserted contravened science.
me claim disputed is the one that Buff
falo Lthia Water will dissolve both uric
acid and phosphate stone. the contention
or the sceptical being that this involves
an imposs'blity. or at the least, a gross
inconsistency This morning. however
there is printed IN another column OF the

consistency OF the claim when. I'm con-
cluding his report, he says: 1T seems on

upon uric acid and the urates. but that
