COATS AND HIS FORTUNE.
Not Likely to Receive the Money
Left to Him for Manya
Day Yet.

Jay Coats, the aged inmate at the
Hillside Home, who four months ago
foil heir to a legacy bequeathed him
by Mrs. Rice. his sister, of Albany. N
Y, is still at the home, and from pres
ent indications his chances of ever see
ing the fortune are not very bright
when it is considered that he is a man
10 years of age and that the legacy
is being sought by a large number of
her relatives, who are fighting every
clause of the will.
Superintendent George w. Beemer,
OF the Hillside Home, has taken charge
of Coats side of the case, and in his
interest has been to Albany regarding
the matter. Mrs. Rices will is certain
ly a very strange one. The greater
part of her fortune has been set aside
for the erecting of monument over
her grave and that of her husband.
Eleven thousand dollars is the sum
specified for that purpose, and an al
lowance of a certain sum of money is
left her brother, to be paid regularly
until his death, when it is to be de-
voted to beautifyng the plot of groun1
| where the monument is built
A sum of money is left a niece, with
the same proviso. Mrs. Rice was Sc
years old when she died and for some
time past had been acting in strange
manner, and it Is thought that at the
time she made the will she was moi
| mentally sound.
| Coats is perfectly satisfied where he
is and seems entirely Indifferent a!
to whether he ever secures the legacy
or not. He is man who Throughout
his entire life has suffered from il
| fortune and he is now content to re
main just as he is during his few re
naming years. When in his prime HI
was a magnificently built man, beinl
a giant in stature and weight. II
worked at a steel mill and by over
taxing his great strength received in
juries which have crippled him. H
has children in the far west whom h.
has not seen in a very large numbe
of years and his wife died a long tim
ago.

An open car bound for Throop yes
terday afternoon with eighteen pas
sengers aboard jumped the track and
plunged over a fifteen7foot culvert into
a hay field at the foot of the hill just
to the north of Dunmore cemetery, in
juring a woman, three men and boy,
though not seriously.
Mrs. James Leach, of Cherry street,
Dunmore, who was the only woman
on the car, was the most severely hurt,
and her injuries consisted only of
bruises and a shaking up. Jacob
Schank and Jacob KEEPER, of the South
Side, an Hungarian from Dunmore and
boy from Throop sustained scalp
wounds and bruises, but all of them
were able to walk away unassisted.
That some one was not killed or at
least seriously injured is truly mar
velous. The front of the car plouged
into the field; the middle of 1t rested
on top of a fence, and the rear upper
most corner hung on the edge of the
culvert. This left the car inclined at
an angle of forty-five degrees, both
lengthwise and sdewise Those sitting
in the rear had a drop of eight feet
after sliding off the end of the seat,
while those in the front seats simply
slid out into the grass without having
to suffer a fall.
WENT INFO CREEK.
One passenger who occupied the last
seat landed in the creek which courses
through the culvert. Motorman Nc
Cormick went head first through the
front window, sprawling into the hay.
The conductor l.. II. Harris, landed
on the top of the culvert, being the
| only one in the car who did not go
over the embankment.
Seven of the passengers were men,
bers of ball team bound for Throop
| to play a Sunday game.
The accident happened a few minutes
after ! o'clock. At the foot of the hill
seventy-five feet above the culvert, is
curve bounding towards the west
| The western rail spread, allowing the
| front wheel on the eastern side to run
Off The motorman did not realize this
| until forty feet or so had been COW
cred. AS he was applying the brakes
with all his strength, the other front
wheel climbed the rail and after run
ming a short distance along the ties,
swerved suddenly just as the center of
the culvert was reached and plunged
over the edge at an angle Of forty five
| degrees with the track.
MRS. LEACE ASSISTED.
1t was some time before the passen-
gers could comprehend that none of
them were seriously hurt. All were
able to get up without aid, excepting
| Mrs. Leach. She was partially un-
conscious for time and had to be as
sisted when walking to the car which
came down to take them back.
The motorman claimed that he was
running not more than eight miles an
hour, and this was corroborated by
others.
The car was one of the Carbondale

Torpedo Boat Built by the Lawley
Company of Boston.

BOSTON. November 22-The torpedo
boat Blakely. which. with the De Long of
equal dimensions and identical equipment
has been under construction at the works
Of George Lawley & Sons, South Boston,
was successfully launched today. 1t was
expected that the De Long would be
launched directly after the BlakeIy, and
invitations for the double event had called
together very large attendance of specta-
tors and many distinguished guests. While
the Blakely was being towed to a conven-
lent docking place. however. a sudden shift
of the strong wind caused the water In the
Lawley yard to recede to such degree
that it was deemed advisable to defer the
launching of the De Long until tomorrow.
The contract for the Blakely and the De
Long called for boats of 16o tons displace-
ment, with speed of 26 knots per hour
The normal length of each boat on the wa
ter line is 10 feet; breadth at load water
zine, II feet: displacement in tons (normal
draft. about 1855 tons.
The Blakeiy is named for Captain john
ston Blakely, who was born in Ireland in
III and who became famous commander
of the fighting ship Wasp in the war OF

Is one which rarely passes without a money

RUssIA's "MoNRoE DOCTRINE"

To Control the Darilanelles Against
Rest of the World.
Correspondence OF the Associated Press.
ST PETERSBURG, November 7.-"This
is our Monroe doctrine" declares the
Sveyt, which often expresses the ideas of
the reactionary old Russians. in conclud-
ing a fiery editorial the Dardanelles
question. Turkey must be our friend or
cease to exist. The Dardanelles must re-
main closed to war vessels. the defenses
must be strengthened and the Black Sea
fleet must be enlarged sufficiently to make
1t an effective defense against the incur
sion of an invading English navy
The same question Is discussed by NJ.
Valentin Gorlofr in the Novoe Vremya, who
arrives at the same conclusions as the
Sveyt. He points out that English gold
and German diplomacy are busy sowing
distrust of Russia at Constantinople. and
it remains for a capable Russian diplo-
matist to overcome the prejudice Of the
Sublime porte and to convince the sultan
that In time Of need he will find q sure
refuge behind the Russian submarine
mines, cannon and gunneFs."

HONOLULU. November 14.-News has
been received here that about 200 white la
bofers have been engaged in Massachusetts,
for sugar plantation work here. They are
French Canadians and Portuguese and were
engaged in New Bedford. They are declar-
ed to have signed contracts to work for
two years at SD month for eight months
of the year and $50 per day for the other
four months. Women and children are to
get from $40 to $15 per month. The employ
ers are to furnish rent, water and fuel free

here that this is the beginning Of a move
ment of immigration of white laborers here
which will put an end to the necessity OF
using Japanese, who now constitute the
greater proportion OF the labor on the plan
