Cape Hatteras Storms.

According to Professor Carrot
chief of the forecasting division
of the Weather Burean, the re-
cord of the loss of ships aud lives
entered annually against the
treacherous coast along Cape
Hatteras is not caused by unus~
ually severe storms in that vic
Unity, as is generally supposed
posed. The records of years
show that there is a greater
Winu velocity on the average at
Chicago than at Cape Hatteras.
In fact, Chicago is the windiest
point in the country The very
severe weather of Hatteras is
due to the fact that it lies in the
track Of what are called the
south west storms; that is, storms
that advance from the southwest
and move northeastward. They
are called northeasters on the
Atlantic coast, and are the sever
est Of storms. But Cape uatteras
is a dangerous place for ship>
ping, more because of its dams
geras coast than because of the
storms which pass in that vicin-
ity. The wind velocity at Block
island, Narragansett, and other
places along the New England
coast is just as much exposed as
Hatteras to the wind force.
Their coast is not so dangerous,
however, because there are con-
ven1ent and safe har5ors. Ves>
sells off Hatteras are SO far re-
moved from a harbor of refuge
that the masters haye no chance
but to run with the storm. They
Tidy have no places to seek
safety. At Hatteras the wind
has a gaeater sweep in almost
every direction to make a high
sea. Along the New England
coast, where the gales reach the
average velocity of Hatteras,
dangerous seas are not possible
of nearness of other land.-New
York Post.

DIXON LOSES
CHAMPIONSHIP
IT Passes to Terry
McGoYern in the
Eighth Round.
After Holding Championship
Eight Years, Defending 1t
Against All Aspirants, the
Plucky Negro Yields
to Youth. Superior
Strength and Science.

New York, Jan. 9.-Terry
McGovern tonight wrested the
feather-weight championship of
the world from George Dixon,
who had defended it for nearly
nine years. To save Dixon from
a knockout, Tom O'Rourke, his
manager, threw up the sponge
in the eight round. when the
negro was staggering helplessly,
bleeding and weak, but as game
as the dying gladiator. The
fight took place before a crowd
that packed the Broadway
Athletic Club, and the victory
decided the ownership OF $40,
900 purse. Dixon was Oh the
aggressive throughout.

TOLD BY AN ENGINEER.
The One Terrible Thing That
Jimmy Never Got Over.

40 run over a man-perhaps
that's the only thing of all that
shakes me-" quotes Leslie's
Weekly. ITO see him on the
track within ten or twenty feet
OF you; to know that you can't
stop to save him; to feel the
wheels of the engine 60 over his
body, .crunching out his life-a
man does not want to experience
that more than once in lifetime.
"1t's worse with a child. There
was an old mate of mine in the
West, when l was riding in the
Tnlon Paci6c-never mind his
name. he's dead now. AS good
an engineer as ever stood in a
box, cool as the devil, nerve like
steel, had been through three
wrecks, a hold-up and a frc.
Well, one day Jim was a little
behind his schedule and made
like anything for the next stop.
There was a crossing right in
front of him. He saw that every-
thing was clear, as he thought,
and went right ahead, when all
at once, out of a clump of trees,
there ran little golden haired
fairy right in front of the engine.
at was all over in one Instant,
and when the train stopped Jim
dropped like a log. 1t was two
months before he crept back to
work again. But he could never
come to that crossing but he saw
the little girl with her hair fut-
terlng in the wind, running out
from the trees. And one day he
just got off his engine, turned it
over to the second man and walk
ed away, never to be seen again
until his body was found in the
river"

WHITE MAN SHOT
To DEATH FOR RAPE
Watts Crime VS. S
One Of Peculiar
Atrocity.
HIS BASE ,INGRATITUDE
Assaulted a Lady Who Had
Given Him Food.
HE WAS ARRESTED AND
LODGED IN JAIL
Masked Men Then Took Him
Thence to the House of His
Victim and Then to the
Outskirts of the Town
Where He Was Shot

Newport News, Va, Jan. s.
The death of William w. Watts,
at the hands of a mob between
the hours of 4 and 5 o'clock this
morning, marks the first sitting
of Judge Lynch in Newport
News. His taking off also sigu-
allies the initial execution of a
white man for rape in Virginia,
legally or otherwise.
The crime that invoked mob
vengeance was peculiarly at
rocious, being blackened by the
basest ingratitude. The victim
of the wretch upon whom justice
was SO speedily visited was the
benefactress of her assailant,
having fed him, a stranger at
her door, when he first appeared
begging for charity three weeks
ago, after reaching here penni-
less from Lynchburg, where his
father is a policeman. Watts
was % years old, unmarried, a
professional gambler and comes
of a respectable family with ex~
tensive relationship throughout
the State.
Yesterday afternoon he visit
ed the house of Mrs. Thomas
NJ. Simpson, who had betriend
ed him when he was in destitute
circumstances, telling the lady
he was about to leave the city
and stating that he desired to
thank her before going away.
Watts had made a stake at his
calling his sojourn here and Mrs.
Simpson failed to recognize in
the we'll dressed man the miser~
able medicant upon whom she
had bestowed aims three weeks
before. Her interest in the man
being awakened, she conversed
with him for a few minutes at
the door. When she retired into
the allway, he followed her,
seized her by the throat, forced
her into the sitting room and
overpowered her after a desper-
ate struggle.
Watts was captured On board
the special train of c. P. Hunts
ington while it was leaving the
city yesterday afternoon, and
lodged in Jail.
Three masked men entered
the station house at 4 O'Clock
this morning and forced the jail>
or at the point of pistols to sur
render the keys. Four compan-
ions OF the men received Watts
when he was carried out aud
hurried him away, first to the
house of Mrs. Simpson, who
identified him, and then to the
outskirts of the city where mob
of Sc. eral hundred men were
congregated. He was bound by
the wrists to a sapling. His body
was riddled with bullets. 1t had
been intended to hang the man,
but the only .ope with which
the party was provided proved
too short to go over any conven-
lent limb.
The rope with which the body
of the victim was bound was cut
up and distributed among the
onlookers.
The identy Of the lynchers is
a mystery, and there is little
prospect of any one connected
with the affair being detected
The police are making the usua,
inquiry into the case.

On the front porch sweeping
and my husband was at the ship
yard at work, he came up to the
porch and asked me for break
fast. l gave it to him. He told
me he thought he was on the
track Of something to do, and
hoped that the next time | saw
him he would not be begging
He went away and l saw no
more of him until yesterday
afternoon. l supposed he had
found position, but gave the
matter no thought.
"The little girl you call my
niece is really no kin to me. She
has come to live with me, Just
came yesterday, indeed, and her
trunk had just been sent upstairs
when Watt and another man
came to the door yesterday after>
noon. Miss Harris was upstairs
at the time. The door was open.
He knocked and | came to the
door. He was shaved and had on
good clothes. | did not know
him at first. He raised his hat
and said: / reckon you don't
recognize me; | am the man you
have been so kind to- Now
said l, I do recognize you
Then he told me that he was
going away, but that he did not
want to leave the city without
shaking hauds with me and
thanking me for my kindness to
him, l told him that he need
not have gone to all that trouble,
and l was glad l was of assist
ance to him.
"Then he asked me if l would
not let his friend see my little
pug dog. The dog had run to
meet him the first time he came
and he seemed to have taken a
sort of fancy to her. He said he
wanted HIS friend to see her. l
called the dog out and they pet~
ted her for awhile. Then his
friend said he had to go. They
went together down toward
Twenty eighth street, Watt lift
ing his hat and bidding me
good by. l never expected to see
him again.
ga little later some one called
my dog-she is a sort of pet on
the corner, everybody about here
playing with her. The dog ran
to the door and | ran after her
to bring her back into the house.
you're having trouble with
your dog heard someone say.
| turned and was surprised to
see Watts standing there. | told
him that had a hard time keep
ing the dog in. He picked her
up and put her on the porch.
While he was standing there,
Miss Harris came down and said
she was going over town for
something to furnish her room
with. She left the house. The
man had been SO polite and had
acted so much like gentleman
that, of course, l never suspect
ed he had any evil design On
me. In a few minutes I excused
myself and went On back to the
kitchen to my work. He follow
ed me, and when l turned, l
found him standing in the dim
ing room. 1t was the first time
he had ever entered the house"
The remainder of the story
Mrs. Simpson did not tell, nor
was she asked to do SO. 1t has
already been published with
sufficient detail, as she stated it
to the police.-To-days New
