STOP WORK ON ASToR'S HOTEL
Police Interfere with His Plans TO
Have 1t Rushed to Completion
by Night shift.

William Waldorf Astor recently gave
hurry-up orders to his men at work
on the eight-story structure occupy
ing the block at the northeast corner
of Seventh avenue and One Hundred
and Sixteenth street, Harlem. He
cabled few days ago directing that
the work be pushed with all possible
speed night and day. Accordingly, Mr.,
Astor's builders began night work on
Thursday. During the early hours of
twilight nobody paid any attention to
the din that was being raised by the
workmen, but about nine o'clock-the
hour when Harlemites usually retire
il was matter of comment through
out the neighborhood that the men
were working overtime on William
Waldorf Astor's new hotel.
These comments were casual at first
and mild, but when the neighbors
were once cuddled up in bed and found
1t vain to court sleep their Indignation
began to rise to point touched only
by the thermometer in the last few
sultry days.
The whole neighborhood was
aroused, and they held an indignation
meeting in nearby hotel, They went
to the workmen and asked them to
stop, but the workmen gave them the
Astor gaze. Then the Harlemites
sought the police, who stopped the
noise,

STATEMENT OF POWERS.
Dark Lines Around Those Who
Have Outraged Him.

Georgetown, Ky, Aug. 2O.-Caleb
Powers, who on Saturday was con-
victed of being an accessory before
the fact of the assassination of Will
liam Goebel, has issued the following
statement:
"ro the Public am asked my
opinion concerning my trial and the
verdict of the jury. Could l have but
one opinion? Can any fair minded
man or woman of this state have but
one. That one of the greatest judi
cial farces known to history has been
enacted here in my trial, under the
forms of law. no well informed man
with 100000 and the methods Of
Campbelism against you. The recti-
tude of ones past life counts for
naught. They say Taylor is guilty
because he was at his Office, and that
| am guilty because was away from
mine. This has been a political trial
throughout for political purposes,
and no greater mistake has been
made by the democratic party since
they robbed us of the offices to which
we were fairly elected by the people.
There are good men and noble
women in the democratic party, and
many of them. They are not all bad,
far from it. A great many of them
do not endorse the theft of the srate c
offices. A great many more will not
endorse this mockery of a trial, this
prostitution of the courts of justice
for certain ends. From the beginning
of the campaign until now, | have
stood with what little of merit | have
had, for the rights and liberties OF
the people. That is my crime. That
is the only offense / have committed.
That Is the only thing proven against
me. | swore to that myself in my
testimony. | have never had, and I
have now no apology to make for be-
ing true to the trust imposed upon
me by majority of the voters of this
state. History will draw It's dark lines
around those who have outraged me,
and disgraced the judiciary and black
ensd the history of the state. ! am
very respectfully, -..-
CALEB POWERS"

A MARROW ESCAPE.
Practice Shell Fired mt sandy Hook
Proving Grounds RicOohets
over a Steamer.

The Savannah liner City of Bir-
mingham, while passing Sandy Hook
on the way to New York port on
Friday afternoon was almost the
chance target for huge shell fred
from the government proving groun 's.
The shell, which may have been an
eight-inch missile, struck the water
within 100 feet of the steamship on
the port side, and. ricocheting,
skipped over the vessel amidships,
kissing ominously in its curving
flight 1t was narrow escape, and
many of the passengers were scared
pale and faint. Capt. Burg and the
superintendent of the line are indig-
nant at the carelessness of the war
officials in endangering human life in
such a way, The waters opposite the
proving grounds are considered pl-
most dangerous. A schooner was
sunk by a wild shell two years ago.
A year ago a Morgan liner was al
most hit by shell.
