as 10 capture. but was unable, on Sep
tember "a. TO give details and present
whereabouts OF Shields and party, or
names of the killed and wounded. His

soon. Anderson has orders TO com-
Inence operations Immediately and
move relentlessly, until Shields and

MACARTHUR"
The Twenty-ninth infantry was re-
cruited at Port Mcpherson. Ga. Cap
tain Shields was lieutenant. colonel OF
the Second Mississippi during the SPAN
ish war. lie was made captain in the
Twenty ninth infantry July 5, 1899.
He was resident OF Natchez, Miles,.
where his wife now resides.
The scene OF this latest reverse Is q
small island lying due south of the
southern coast oil Luzon and abont 800
miles from Manila. Martinique is
about "a miles In diameter and was
garrisoned by two small detachments
OF United States troops. One oil these
was at Boac. ON the west coast OF the
island. and the other was at Santa
Cruz. the principal port on the north
side. Captain Shields appears TO have
started nom Santa Cruz on gunboat
for Torrijos. small coast port. and it
is inferred that the boat as we'll as the
body OF troops under that officer has
been captured, for the dispatch makes
no reference to her return.
The officers OF the gunboat Villalo-
bos were; Lieutenant Edward Simp-
son. commanding; Ensign |. f. Landis

IMPROVEMENTS

The Southern Pacific Increas-
es Facilities for Handling
Coa1-The Bridge Repairs
are Due and More Machin-
cry to be Installed in the
Shops.
A large amount Of material has been
received here and is how in the yards
awaiting the construction gang to futther
improve facilities for handling coal. in
fact the Southern Pacific intends to
have the best appliances Of all kinds and
the latest machinery for the purpose.
The cost of handling coal is not the
least expense the company has to
bear in conducting the business Of
railroading. AS q beginning in economy
~trestles were erected along the line at
q or
all points where a store Of coal was
needed. Loaded Jars are run up an
inclined plane to the top Of these
trestles and unloaded automatically,
whereas before the work was perform
ed by laborers with shovels. This eff
fected a saving of thousands Of dollars
and solved the problem Of unloading
economically.
It followed that the next step would
be the loading Of coal on engine tend
ers at the least expense. The work is
now done by Chinese who shovel coal
from under the trestles inso buckets
which hold half a ton each and these are
buckets hoisted by a steam derrick and
unloaded or the engine tenders. It is
proposed TO build stationary chutes
along the trestle at points enough so
all engines may be accommodated at
one time if necessary. The coal will
be picked up by a steam shovel which
will travel the tracks at both sides Of
the trestle and fill the chutes and keep
them filled. The chutes will be auto
matte bumpers unloading a supply of
coal on the engine tender by the twist
Of a mans wrist.
The iron bridge at this point is soon
to receive the attention Of a large gang
Of artisans and laborers. 1t will be
thoroughly overhauled at all points and
new ties will be put In from n end to
the other. 1t will be painted with a
late compound that has the virtue Of
greatly retarding the expansion and
contraction that racks such iron struc-
lures. The Improvements at the coal
yards and on the bridge will require
the attendance of a large force Of men.
A new trip hammer has arrived for
the shops and will soon be set up. 1t
has been needed for years and is a
great labor saver. We also under
stand a new heavy steam hammer will
soon be installed and the one now in
the shops thoroughly repaired.

WASTE PAPER CRUSADE
Twenty Matrons Hailed to
Court to Be In
structed.

Nearly a score of matrons from the up
per Hudson City section appeared in the
Second Criminal Court this morning in
response to subpoenas issued at the in
stance of the street cleaning department
concerning the placing of loose waste
paper on the tops of ash and garbage
barrels. Another crusade has begun
against this practice apparently as the re-
suit of an article describing the condition
of the streets in last Fridays Jersey
City News" The Street and Water De-
partment has again invoked the aid OF the
Police Department and it is proposed to
stamp out the practice entirely.
Police Justice Murphy explained what
would be required of those who put out
their ashes and garbage for collection by
the street department and warned them
that there was an ordinance preventing
the putting of loose waste papers in the
barrels or other reeeptacles. He said he
would enforce the ordinance if any of
those present were summoned on a second
offence.
Stret Inspector Andrew Boyle said to
the reporters present that the contractor
for the removal os ashes and garbage
was not obliged to remove such when
loose paper mainly composed the contents
of the receptacles. He did no like to re-
fuse, and would not do so if people would
only tie the waste paper in bundles.

HAD A SLEEPY PASSENGER.
Conductor on Hoboken Car Grew
Tired Shaking Him Awake.

Passengers on the Grove street car
which left the lower ferry station in Ho-
boken at 4:50 p. M. yesterday were inter-
ested in the efforts of the conductor to
rouse man from sleep. The chap occu-
pied corner seat and kept snoring
loudly. When the car turned into Hudson
street he suddenly awoke and asked if
Seventh street had been reached yet He
meant Seventh street in Jersey City and
would not believe the conductors story
that he had been shaking him all the way
from there to the Hoboken station and
had still kept on snoring. He grew in
dignant when another nickel was demand
ed and refused to pay it.
The conductor signalled the motorman
to stop the car and hailed Patrolman
Kealy. Then he ordered the passenger to
either pay or step off. The man chose
the latter alternative and big crowd col
lected around him while he told a SYM
pathetic story about how he would lose
a good job as captain of a tugboat unless
he managed to reach Jersey City within
half an hour. The Hoboken bluecoat ad-
vanced the man the nickel which he lack
ed for fare and saw him aboard the next
passing car.
Il don't say you're drunk" said Kealy
''but you certainly have not shown dis
cretion in taking your drinks" The cap
tain leered at the cop and waved his hand
at the crowd in parting.

BICYCLE THIEF CAUGHT.

Herman Helm, twenty-one years old, Of
No. IA Eighth avenue, New York City,
was arrested yesterday afternoon on his
way to the ferry with stolen bicycle.
Helm was captured by Patrolman Valen-
tine from description sent out by the
police after the theft had been reported.
The bicycle is the property of Milton
B. Hood, a telephone inspector. The
wheel was resting against the curb in
Fairmount avenues. Helm jumped on the
wheel and pushed away for keeps. Hood s
attention was attracted by shouts of'per-
sons who saw the theft. He reported the
matter to he Montgomery street police
station by telephone, which led to the
capture of Helm. Helm was held on a
charge of grand larceny.

IN LOVE WITH FOSTER PARENT.
Canal Boat Romance Comes to Light
in WeahawLev

A canal boat romance came to light In
the Weehawken Cove this morning. when
Justice of the Peace George Seymour. OF
Hoboken, Joined bride of fifty-two and
a groom of twenty-seven, Mary Dewing,
of Trenton, and Charles Schoenheld, OF
Albany. The Justice when he learned of
the disparity in their ager refused % 90
on with the ceremony but the bride won
him over.
Il am not marrying the young man
through any freakishness,'' she said. 1--WE
love each other dearly, and If we can't
be united here we'lI go some place else
to have 1T done. We have known each
other long enough to understand what
we are going about. When Charlie here
was only little shaver of twelve I and
my husband. Douglas Dewing. picked him
up on the Erie Canal. He was an or
phan whose parents had originally lived
IN Oswego. We treated him like our own
child. and he grew to love US both teier-
~. Douglas Dewing died two years ago
He was buried in Albany.
Since that time Charlie. and I have
been running this boat. When I fell i'll
six months ago he was my only nurse
and comfort. I learned then that the af-
lection We entertainde for each other was
something more than that of a foster
parent and child and was made most
happy when he proposed that we get
married.
Il own another boat beside this one and
intend to make my will in his favor
when we lay to next month. There's 9
good fee in the mariarge if you perform
1t. If you don't we'll have to find a mag
1strate somewhere else
Justice Seymour needed no further urz-
ing and tied the knot forthwith The
couple intend to spend their honeymoon
at Albany.
