Eleven Electric Cars,

NORFOLK, Va, Nov. 11.-Therc are on
ly eleven street cars in Norfolk today.
All the rolling stock of the Norfolk Rail
way and Light Company excepting these
were burned this morning The fire de-
stroyed the company's electric plant and
car barns.
The fire broke out about O'Clock. after
the cars had ceased running. Sixty-one
ears were stalled in the barn. Fifty of
these were burned. The company's loss
of about $4,000. is stated to be covered
by insurance.
All lines in Norfolk are operated by the
one company. Some of them ran only half
an hour today. Spoilers have been en-
ployed by the company and many employees
have been discharged. The fire. however.
is believed to have originated in a car OF
a suburban line. in which a heater stove
was used.

A DEPOT BURGLAR KILLED.
Connecticut Statfonmnster Discovers
Robbcr mt Work.

LONDON, Conn. Nov. 1l.-Late Satur.
day night the staid old village of Gales
Ferry, which is only awakened annually
by the Yale Harvard boat crews while in
training, was startled by the news that
Station Master William Brooks had dis
covered burglar at the depot and had
shot him dead through the heart. Brooks
who Is about twentyfour years old, has
been employed at the Gales Ferry station
for the past two years He started in as
telegraph operator, but was recently ad-
yanced TO station master.
The station was closed at 9 o'clock.
Brooks decided 10 take advantage of the
moonlight night in hunting for game near
the depot, and borrowed a shotgun. He
was passing across the station platform
about 2:30 o'clock when he discovered the
penny in the slot chewing gum machines
had been stolen.
While he was standing near the station,
rays from the moon entering the ticket
Office window revealed the form of man
rummaging about his desk. Brooks quiet
ly stole up to the window. He called upon
The intruder to throw up his hands or he
would shoot. The burglar answered the
command by quick movement toward his
pistol pocket. BTODhS was not waiting to
take any chances and pulled one of the
triggers. There was a fash and deafen-
ing report and crashing of glass. min
gled with deep groans.
Before the smoke had cleared the young
operator was running at full speed toward
the only store in the village tc summon
help. A number of villagers turned out
including Coroner Brown.
who resides in the village. Armed with
guns, pistols. and cudgels, they descended
upon the station. One of the attacking
party carried bicycle lamp. Its rays

ed on the floor at the rear OF the ticket
office. He was lying in a pool of blood,
which was flowing from ugly wounds made
by the shot directly over the heart. Coro.

md the life beats ceased a short time af-
ter the man was discovered.
No one has been able to identify the

and then turned into the service as ordi-
nary seamen during the year ending De-
cember 81, 1900. 1t is now seen that Lad
not this system been established by the
bureau 1t would have been impossible to
supply this number of men in any other
way. In other words. the navy would be
short today 1000 of its present compile
ment, which means that the Kearsarge.
Kentucky, Brooklyn. Oregon, and Alabama
would npt now be in commission. unless
at the expense of an equal or greater
number of vessels quite as necessary for
maintaining our position in the Philip
pines, in China, and elsewhere. We are
still short of the total complement al
lowed. and, further. still short of the
number necessary to properly man the
vessels needed in our fleets We must,
therefore. look during the next year to
further extension of the system for
training landsmen. and since. as pointed
out in last years report. the receiving
ships. besides being utterly unsuitable, no
longer afford sufficient accommodations,
barracks must be constructed at once.
The Bureau. therefore again urges that
the Department will request Congress to
authorize an expenditure of 5000, 900 for
seamen's quarters at New York and at
League Island. 100000 to be made imme-
diately available for work this year"
1t is shown by the report that 57.3 per
cent OF the petty officers in the navy are
native born. 1876 per cent naturalized, 6.5
per cent have declared intention, and that
only 3 per cent are nonresident aliens or
the men GA per cent are native born and SO
per cent citizens, and SO per cent OF the
apprentices are native born. Ninety three
per cent of the whole number Of landsmen
enlisted for training are native born.
In his review of ho uorl, pf tho Aciatir
fleet, Admiral Crowninshield. referring to
The monitors Monadnock and Monterey. says
frankly that these vessels are of little use
in the present state of the insurrection,
but are needed in the Philippines as a re-
serve for Strengthening the fleet il case of
threat or attack from another power"
Speaking Of the North Atlantic squad
ron, he says:
1T is much TO be regretted that the drills
planned for this squadron are compelled
to be often interrupted by attendance of the
vessels at local celebrations. These inter-
ferences invariably tend to demoralize the
of the personnel"
In concluding his report Admiral Crown
inshield refers to the refusal of Congress
to reward naval officers for their services
in the war with Spain. He says: Most OF
those who failed to secure such recognition
owe the loss to the unfortunate public con-
sroversy which followed upon the Presi-
dents recommendation that certain officers
should be promoted. 1t is needless to say
that the navy had no part in this contro-
yersy."
Admiral Crowninshield makes no recon-
menaation on the subject. but merely
places tho Bureau on record "as again in
eiting the Departments attention to the
iiscouraging condition in which distin-
guished officers of the navy have been left |
by not receiving any form of recognition |

THE DAY IN PHILADELPHIA.
The Graves of Federal and Confeder-
ate Dead Strewn With Flowers.

Philadelphia, May 30.-Memorial day
was observed in this city with the Gus
tomary ceremonies by the various
Grand Army posts and by the strew-
ing OF flowers on the graves of the
soldier dead. In every cemetery in the
city survivors of the civil war held
memorial services, assisted in many
instances by public school children.
1t is by the individual donations OF the
latter that the major portion of the
flowers used in decorating is collected.
Not alone were the union dead of
the civil war remembered. but the
graves of a large number of confeder-
ate dead in the national cemetery at
Germantown, a suburb. We're covered
with flowers.
The dead of the revolutionary war,
the war of 1912, the Mexican war, and
those who died in battle during the
Spanish war or in the camps, were
also remembered.
Among the more notable events of
the day was the unveiling Of four
bronze tablets at the base of the SOL
dier'S monument, in Market square,
Germantown. The tablets are erect
ed in memory of residents of that sec
ton who fought for the union. They
contain the names of 800 soldiers and
sailors who died during or since the
war.
Eight grand sons of soldiers killed
in the civil war performed the cere-
mony of unveiling.
Special ceremonies were f1eid at the
grave OF General Meade in Laurel
Hill cemetery and monuments of
Washington, Lincoln, Grant, McClel-
Ian, Reynolds and other distinguished
heroes were draped with the Stars and
Stripes and garlands of green flowers.

Some Sensational Evidence Produced
The Plea of Insanity.

Richmond, Va, May 30.-In the trial
today at Lawrenceville of Rev. ]. E.
R. Riddick- for the murder Of DR..
William Temple there was some SEN
sational testimony The common
wealth brought out that after a con-
versation Riddick had with his wife,
he expressed doubt whether he was
justified in killing Temple. The de-
fense put the aged father of the pris-
oner. Methodist minister himself, on
the stand, and drew from him that in
ebriety and lunacy were hereditary in
the family, running back to witnesses
grandfather. He told of how the pris-
oner had at one time fallen from the
faith and testified that on the advice
of physicians, one of his (witness)
daughters had married to save herself
from insanity. 1t was either that or
an asylum.
A letter was read from Riddick to
his wife and his mother. In which the
prisoner claimed that God had influ-
enced him to kill DR.. Temple.
Court adjourned until tomorrow.

ERA OF RAILWAY EXPANSION.


The Railway Age finds in the recent
extensions of the influence of the Penn
sylnavia railroad reason for calling the
present "the era OF expansion" v
the object in view Of preventing reck-
less rate cutting, the policy is pursued
by the Pennsylvania of acquiring a
friendly interest in railroads hitherto
it's rivals. Some roads are bought out
right, but as a rule the desired end is
effected not by consultations nor by
obtaining majority of stock, but by
securing a number of shares of stock
sufficient to entitle 1t to exert infiu
ence through a number of the board of
directors. The New York Central CO.
operates in this policy. In some cases
the Central and Pennsylvania Jointly
hold enough stock to innuence the rate
policy Of a competing trunk line. The
New York and the Pennsylvania /com
pandes are equals and allies, all the
other eastern trunk lines being, IT
supposed, in a somewhat subordinate
position. Amity prevails, the Old era
Of tyranny and barbarous war having
passed away. The whole eastern area
nom Maine to North Carolina is now,
II is believed, reduced to conservative
management by the new regime.-Ba1-
