c. IL Q.
The Morning Herald. of Newport
News, in its Sunday issue says:
The British steamship Rapdan,
which came in and anchored off oppo-
site the Casino about o'clock yester-
day afternoon. has made, so it is I'M
derstood. her last voyage for the G.
q o. at least for the present.
Just what service the Rapidan will
now go into cannot be definitely learn
cd. but it has been rumored in this
city for some time that she will be en-
gagged this summer partially in carry
ing passengers to and from the Paris
Exposition.
The Rapidan is the largest ship in
the service of the Chesapeake and Ohio.
and into whatever service she may be
placed it will be done on the whole
sale"
or her last trip the paper says:
The British steamship Rapidan. of
the Chesapeake and Ohio Steamship
Company. passed in the Capes yester-
day about o'clock. and arrived here
late in the afternoon with 500 tons of
import freight.
THE Rapidan started frop London
two days ahead OF the Greenbrier, but
the latter came in more than a day
sooner.
THE voyage of the Greenbrier was. 1t
is understood. most delightful one,
and probably this accounts for her out
stripping the Rapidan so far"

Retains Consciousness for a Tine
and Tells a Strange Story
OF the Crane.

lSD1AsAPoLis. Dec William Fl.
Smythe. grand secretary of the Masonic
order OF Indiana, was shot and prob.
ably fatally wounded at noon in his Of.
flee in the Masonic temple. The shoot.
ing is mystery. The story told by
Mr.. Smytbe, who retained conscious.
ness fer several minutes after the
shooting, is that a blonde woman Ell.
tered his office and asked to be allowed
to use the telephone. AS he was busy
he told her he could not be bothered at
the time. Without further words, he
declares, the woman drew revolver
and fired at him. He felt the sting of
the bullet lut did not realize what had
happened until after the woman had
made her escape.
The police quickly cached the scene
and threw line Of patrolmen and de.
tecliyes about the Masonic temple, but
no trace Of the mysterious woman was
found.
Lewis a. Coleman. an attorney who
had gone TO the Masonic temple to
transact business, discovered Smythe.
who, he says, was lying on the floor
half way between his desk and the
door OF his Office in pool of blood.
An examination showed that three
shots had been fired. each Of which
took effect in Smythe's head. The
bullets have been removed, but it is
not thought Smythe can recover.
AS no trace of the woman had been
found up to a late hour, the theory was
advanced that Smythe had attempted
self destruction. Members of his fam.
