C. P. HUNTINGTON EXPECTED.
Newport News AgoE Over Rumors of
Big Enterprises.

Newport News, Va, Feb. 22-ColIis p.
Huntington. the railroad magnate and
founder of the shipbuilding industry here,
is expected to arrive in the city today.
Enquiry at the shipyard brought out very
little in connection with Mr.. Huntington's s
visit. 1t Was stated there that the owner
Of the mammoth plant had given no init
nation of his coming at this time, and that
absolutely nothing was known about the
purpose of his visit visit from Mr..
Huntington is usually the occasion for
considerable speculation, and those who
like to guess at his object in coming to
town have much to dwell on at this time.
The recent award of contracts sor the
two immense Pacific mail steamships to
the shipbuilding plant here was practi-
cally made by Mr.. Huntington, and his
visit may be in connection with the work
on these ships.
1t is rumored that Mr. Huntington has
closed a deal with VickaTs Sons & Maxim
of England by which the ordnance fac
tory of that famous firm is to be trans
ferred to Newport News. His visit may
have some connection with this project.

ELECTRICITY TO THAw PIPES.
A Madison. Wis. Professor Makes a
Useful Discovery.

Madison, Wis. Feb. 22.-Prof. r. W.
Wood, Instructor in Physics in the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin, has originated the idea
of thawing out frozen water pipes with
electricity. and has made two successful
experiments. He takes the electric current
used for street lighting purposes, attaches
one wire to the frozen pipe inside the eel
lar of one house and the other wire 10 a
similar pipe in the adjoining or any ether
house. thus completing the circuit. \ cur
rent ot about 80 volts is then turned on.
heating the pipes and melting the ice
within.
Prof Woods plan has been successfully
worked at the houses of w. f. Villas. for
mer Senator. and c. y Brown, alderman.
At the Villas home $50 feet OF frozen pipe
was thawed out in eighteen minutes. Prof.
Wood uses a transformer to reduce the
voltage so that the current will not melt
the pipes. There are over 400 frozen pipes
in Madison. and the work of thawing them
out with electricity will begin in earnest
tomorrow The discovery will obyiate the
necessity for eXcavating. which has always
heretofore been the most expensive feature.

MURDERED HER HUSBAND.
An Iowa Woman Confcsses to a De
Iibernte Crime.

Orange City, Iowa, Feb. 22.-The trial
of Mrs. Alice A. Blood for the murder
of her husband, George H. Blood at Hull.
this county. last September. has resulted
in some surprising revelations.
No denial is made of the fact that Mrs.
Blood took her husbands life. The conten-
tion of the defence is that she was tenn
porarily insane as a result OF the long
course of iIl-treatment TO which he is al
legged to have subjected her.
The Bloods were well known in Sioux
county and highly respected. Mrs. Blood
had been ill for three weeks prior to the
tragedy. On the night OF September 10
she says her husband told her that their
Oldest daughter was able to leave home
and make her own living. and that he
proposed to make her do it.
This conversation. it is claimed, drove
his wife to desperation. The next morning
according to her own account she left her
bed, took her husbands revolver, entered
the dining room where he was sitting al
breakfast and shot him in the back of the
head. Then she returned to her room
The sound OF the wounded mans heavy
breathing annoyed her so much, however
that she went back and finished him with
another shot.

THE NAVAL BILL.
Mr. BouteIIe Encounters the IsuaI
Objections TO His Methods.

The House made slow progress with the
Naval appropriation bill yesterday. owing
largely to Chairman Boutelle's unfortu-
nateIy irritating manner and another day
will be required to complete it, When the
House went into Committee of the Whole
10 consider the bill the pending question
was on the point of order raised by Mr.
Hopkins Of Illinois against the provision
for S545 per ION for armor plate.
Mr.. Boutelle. defending the bill said
that Mr.. Hopkins. who. he claimed. knew
little about warships. was trying TO force
the Government to buy inferior armor. The
Government now had contracts at $500 a
ton for = number of ships now in process
of construction and this armor he de-
clared, was inferior. ana if the point of
order was ruled out the new ships would
have to be fitted with this same inferior
armor. The Cramps were now making a
superior armor for the Russian ironclads,
but it would not be furnished for $500.
Mir. Underwood of Alabama asked wheth-
er Russia paid more than $500 a ton, and
Mr. Boutelle replied that he did not know.
As a matter of fact. il is said that the
Cramps charge Russia only $3.50 for armor
for which they ask the United States TO
pay sji5 MIR. Boutelle made a violent at
tack on Mr. Hopkins. charging him with
damagogy. Mr. Hopkins replied that he
was not yet ready to concede that Mr..
BouteIle was the whole House, painful as
that announcement might be TO that gen
tleman Mr. Boutelle had repeatedly vio-
lated the law in this appropriation bill.
Coming TO the price of armor, he said that
it had been proven that Mr. Boutelle had
for years been paying too much for armor.
In the last Congress the price was cut
down 10 $500. and contracts had been made
under il Now Mr.. Boutelle wanted to in
crease this by sli5 in defiance of previously
existing Law.
The Chair (Mr. Sherman) then oyerruled
the point OF order, thus giving Mr.. Bou-
telle his first triumph in the five days dur
ing which the bill has been discussed.
Mr. Underwood offered substitute ap-
propriating 81 900. 900 for an armor plate
factory. against which Mr.. Boutele raised
a point of order. After considerable dis
cussion, without reaching ruling on the
point. the Committee rose and the House
devoted itself to hearing eulogies on the
late Senator Morrill,.

METHODS OF THE OH. TRUST.
n Witness Charges That Ohio Pa
DPrs Were Rribed.

Columbus, Ohio. Feb. 22.-Attornsy
General Monnett has extended his fight
against the Standard Oil Trust to include
matter paid for by the combine. AS a re-
suit Malcolm Jennings, head of an ad
vertiSing bureau here. is under arrest for
contempt of court.
Jennings was witness yesterday in a
hearing OF the cases of the Standard OIL
and Buckeye Pipe Line Companies.
He admitted that he had an agreement
to supply certain papers of the State with
matter regarding the Standard Oil Com
pany; that this agreement was with Henri :
APthorp, of Cleveland, and that Mr.. Ap-
thorp paid the bills.
Mr.. Jennings identified copy OF con-
tract drawn for the ''Xenia Herald" which
bound the publisher to print such matter
as might be furnished to him, on the news
and editorial pages of the paper. without
any marks showing that it was advertis-
ing matter or that it was paid for.
The attorney general contended that
matter had been furnished to about forty
newspapers of the State which was calcu-
lated to influence the court and reflected
upon himself.
The attorney general asked Mr.. Jen-
hlngs Tor list OF the papers OF the State
with which he had placed contracts, to-
gether with copies of the matter publish
ed in these papers as news matter. Mr..
Jennings refused to furnish this list, on
the ground that the demand was an inva-
sion of his private rights.
Attorney w. L. Merwin, who acted as
notary. promptly committed Jennings for
contempt.
The attorneys for the oil companies
made out an application for writ of
habeas corpus, and as soon as the COM
mitment was made. the supreme court was
asked to release Jennings.
Later in the day Jennings was again
placed on the stand. Attorney Kline, for
the Standard Oil Company. objected to the
taking of any testimony affecting the
trust before the notary, and claimed that
the order of the supreme court. in ap-
pointing ALLEN Brinsmade, of Cleveland,
as master commissioner, prevented the
attorney general from taking testimony
before anyone else.
Jennings refused TO answer any quss-
tions, and the hearing was adjourned until
Thursday. Jennings remaining nominally
under arrest.
Attorney General Monnett is confident
that he will, with the aid of the su-
preme court. force the Standard Oil Com
pany to give up the information asked
for.

HINTS AT A MYSTERY.
Expressions OF Paris Newspapers
Concerning VI. Fnure's Death

Concerning VI. Fnure's Death
Paris Feb 22.-The "Herald's" European
edition publishes the following editorial:
Some of the Paris papers appear greatly
concerned because a post mortem examina-
tion of NJ. Faure was not made, and let
it be supposed that the death of the Presi-
dent must have been due more or less to
mysterious causes. a rumor has even been
spread that he was poisoned
Such a supposition is simply absurd 1t
sutfices. in fact, to have some elementary
notions about medical science to know
there is no poison capable of producing the
symptoms noticed in the case of NJ Taure
by the persons who were with him in mis-
last hours and by the five doctors who were
called in.
What poison could provoke an attack of
apopleXy. accompanied by alternate paraly-
sis? Professional men will discuss the
question whether apopleXy was caused by
cerebral hemorrhage or by coagulation of
blood in the boodvcssels, and supporters
OF each of these opinions will. without
doubt be able to bring strong arguments
In support of each.
THE Herald has stated the reasons
which render admissible the hypothesis of
coagulatiOn of blood. thrombosis follow
ing on arterio- -sclerosis. What no compe-
tent doctor will contest is that the Presi-
dent succumbed TO an attack of apoplexy
and the hypothesis of poison must be rele-
gated to the realms of fable, because il has
absolutely no foundation in fact"

SAVANNAH RIVER FRAUDS.
More Charges Brought Against Con-
tractors for improvements.

Syracuse, n. Y, Feb. 22-Last nights
issue of the Syracuse Herald" publishes
what are said to be inside facts regarding
the river and harbor works at Savannah,
Ga, for Irregularities in the construction
of which Capt. Oberlin NJ. Carter was
sentenced by court-martial to dismissal
from the army, his case still being before
President Mckinley for final disposition.
According to the Herald" vast frauds
were perpetrated upon the Government by
Captain Carter and certain contractors,
and full details have been sent to the
President by man who was present when
the combination was arranged.
This man says various conferences were
held in the Hoffman House, New York, at
which it was agreed to charge up to over
estimates $4,000 a day AT other confer
ences this sum was raised to $1,000, aud
then to $4,000. False statements were
made to the Secretary of the Treasury to
get the money. and checks received were
shown to various persons and boasts made
Of the manner in which they were OBJ
tanned.
1t is asserted by the informant that Cap
tain Carter was responsible for the faulty
work in mattresses, and that the scandal
was carried on so openly because the cap
tain could rely for safety upon social and
political influences.
Reports were made up" says the state
ment, '.on basis of the prearranged over
estimates, and while only a few thousand
dollars had been spent monthly, bills for
Sl25, 900 were brought to the Government"
1t is asserted that trip was made to
Washington by a stockholder of the At
lantic Contracting Company to collect
$500, ,OO0. That there might be no hesita-
tiOn on the part Of the Government, it was
fixed that the representative should alege
that his company had paper in the bank
to meet which the money was needed. Sec
retary Gage, it is stated, being himself a
banker, readily saw the need, and the
money was paid.
1t is declared that one man named had
two sl00,0 checks and another had va
riOus checks of $50, 900. $40, 900. and $780,
900. which were shown to persons in New
York.
According to the informant. the equip
ment for doing the river work consisted of

Swift Current


New York. Feb 22.-Tony Russo four
teen years old. who lives in Railway, had
nothing to do yesterday afternoon and
thought he could pass away the time play
ing on the ice on the Railway River.
Just above the railroad bridge Russo and
several chums were enjoying themseI res,
when the ice began to crack. Tony's COM
panions jumped, leaving him farthe5t fIom
the shore, standing on the largest cake
The current was running very fast and
Tony was carried along down the river, his
shouts attracting attention from both
shores. AS he passed under the Bridge
Street Bridge several ropes were thrown
10 him from the shore and bridge but none
came near enough for Tony to catch. The
same thing happened at the Monroe Street
Bridge. Tonys cries could be heard a
great distance
William Toms, tinsmith, working on
the roof of a new building in Main Street,
hearing the cOmmotion, dropped his 'rons
and picked UP a piece of board He then
ran to the river. where he found a row
boat. which he boarded and padded after
Tony. who vas two blocks ahead and from
appearances increasing his lead
When the ice was near Milton Avenue
drawbridge the cake on which Tony was
perched took a lucky turn carrying him
toward the trestlework that hangs very
near the water at that point.
Tony standing on his toes was Just able
10 grasp one of the crossbarS on the trestle
There he hung waiting for help Toms
padding with all his might reached Tony
when he was exhausted from the axer,ion
of holding himself suspended. As The boat
touched Tonys feet he sank into the bot

Toms worked the boat to the shore,

ran home.

A PROBABLE COMPROMISE.
The Two Parties Likely to Agree OF
an Army Bill.


an Army Bill.
4 critical stage has been reached in the
situation surrounding the Army Reorgaui-
zation bill and it is more than likely that
today's developments will indicate whether
an extra session of the Fifty-fifth Congress
will be necessary or whether a compromise
bill can be agreed upon that will be ac-
ceptable to both Democrats and Repub-
licans. Last night the prospect was that
such a compromise will be arranged that
the substitute measure will be passed at
once possibly today, and the way cleared
for the consideration of the appropriation
Hills and other important legislation that
must be disposed of in the few days re-
naming before the 4th of March
For the past two days the most deter
mined efforts have been made TO reach a
basis of agreement and before many hours
the Democrats will be told specifically
just how far the President will go in the
way of compromise and the Republican
Senators who enjoy his confidence will
likewise be informed of just what will be
conceded by the Democrats
Whatever the plan of the procedure is
TO be the Hull bill will be dropped and a
general army reorganization postponed
until the next Congress. In return for
this concession it is probable that the
Democrats will consent to an extension
for two years OF the present conditions as
regards both the line and the staff of the
army. thus giving the President the sup
port he needs for the carrying out Of the
Administration plans.
