TRIAL OF THE VIPER.
The British Torpedo Boat Dcstroyer
DeveIOps GreHt Speed.


LONDON. Nov. 23.-The trial Of the tor
pedo boat destroyer Viper has proved ex-
tremely satisfactory to her builders and
others interested in her success. The vi
per is a vessel of 325 tons, while her en-
gines can develop between 10000 and 1900
horsepower. She was built by the Parsons
Steam Turbine Company of Wallsen, an1 is
the first war vessel to be fitted with the
new system of steam turbine engines. For
this reason great interest was evinced by
naval officers in her performance. 1t was
expected she would show a speed OF thirty
five knots an hour At her trial Monday
she ran at the rate OF thirty seven knots
in a rough sea. The officers aboard Of her
aver that If the sea had been calm she
would have made fifty miles an hour The
trials were made from Hawthorne. Leslie
& Co.'S yard at Newcastle and the run
was over a measured mile.
The Telegraph" after stating that the
trial had taken place, said: The trial was
TO all appearances a complete success,
though, Of course. no official statement
has been made as to the actual results
attained"
The Newcastle correspondent of the
Shipping Gazette" says: I am in a
position to say from information I have
been able to CLEAN that the Viper did at
least thirty-seven knots when she was
opened cut at full speed that is. TWO
knots more than the speed contracted lor
1t is possible that she will yet do better
She certainly surprised those on board
and they are not likely to forget their out
ing for the deck was over and over again
buried in the seas, and they returned

NEW YORK, Nov 23-Isaac Rice will

with 100000 authorized capital al Tren-
ton yesterday. August Belmont will be the

Active operations win be begun by tte

right to operate in all the American pos
sessions and in Cuba.
There was q contract made recently,
prior to the formation of our company, TO
connect five OF the Hawaiian Islands by
wireless telegraph, but otherwise we WI
control all Hawaiian wireless telegraph
rights. There are all sorts of uses to which
the Marconi system can be put, ard 1t is
really in its infancy.
Among the matters to which we Will
give special attention will be the manu-
facture of instruments to be used for tele-
graphing between vessels at sea. We hope
also to equip with wireless telegraph in

tions along the coast so that approaching
vessels can be warned when fog and Storm

PRINCETON. \ J., Nov. ga thor
ough investigation was made today at the
Lawrenceytlle Preparatory School to place
if possible. the blame for the injury OF
Martin N. Bergen. the twelve year old
son of Peter v Bergen. Of Princeton. who
died yesterday from an attack of perito-
nitis supposed 10 have been caused by haz-
ing. All the boys who were in the room
al the time young Bergen was injured
we're given a hearing today ald they said
that Bergen was injured in friendly horse
play, and that no attempt whatever had
been made 70 haze him. The story as told
by the boys is that Bergen came into the
room and joined them in a friendly scram-
bic for a Yale play. In the lineup he was
thrown 10 the floor, and the rest piled
upon him in an impromptu game Of pie
ing as il is called by the boys Young
Bergen did not complain Of any injury
and the boys said they parted the best Of
friends
The board has taken no definite action
and II is understood that they will pro-
ceed no further with the invess igation, un
less IL is the wish OF the dead boys father
When seen today MIR. Bergen vas inclined
20 look at the affair with leniency and
preferred to let the whole matter drop.
He said
Il consider my boys death the result Of
thoughtless schooiboy play, and do not
think for minute that his friends caused
the injury Intentionally, | have lost my
own boy. and I will do everything in my
power to prevent a stigma being placed
upon the names of any of his schoolmaJes.'

NEW YORK, Nov. 23-Glass fell with
a crash from hundreds Of windows at
Broadway and Canal Street when. at 5
o'clock this afternoon an explosion of gas
in the subway trenches sent scores OF
timbers and planks sailing skyward, and
a column of flame foot in diameter shot
up forty feet. Broadway was the usual
jam of pedestrians. cable cars, and trucks.
and everywhere men and women were
ducking their heads as debris of all sorts
came down. Some were struck and hurt
slightly, others were injured more serious
ly, and one man was instantly killed
His head was smashed by a plank that
came sailing down upon him
The column of burning gas made a mag
nificent spectacle, and thousands gathered
to watch It.
The construction department of the Met
rOpolitan Street Railway Company has
been tlnkering with the roadway at Broad
way and Canal Street for the past week.
Sixteen men have been at work excavating
for the laying OF electric ducts.
Policemen Dcnuelly and Kurtz. who are
stationed q Canal Street, say that the odor
OF gas from the excavation could be de-
tected several Gays ago, and had been il
creasing When the explosion occurred
most of the sixteen men were at work
under the boards in the excavation near
the south side CT Canal Street One man
was holding a lighted lantern close to the
ground, while others were shoyeling away
the loosened dirt. The man with the pick
struck the four-inch gas main which runs
up and down Broadway, heavy blow,
breaking out q section about inches long.
The gas came out so fast that almost in
stantly the men were gasping for breath.
The man with the lantern threw it away
without eXtinsUishiEg tie light. The eX-
DlosiOn followed. The noise Of ii was heard
downtown as far as the City Hall and
| deafened people who were within a half
block. People within twenty yards of tie
corner were lifted off their feet while d
dozen or more passengers in a Broadway
car standing alongside the eXclva ion were
badly shaken up.
Charles O'Neil, the starter of the Eighth
Avenue line, at Canal Street, was the man
who was killed. A plank. which had been
blown twenty feet up into the air, and
which wavered and zig-zagged as it fell,
struck him on the temple and smashed IN
the whole side OF his head. OF the injured
Charles Burdge, a laborer; Policeman
Kurtz. and John Maui, truck driyec, were
seriously hurt.
