The Growth In the Size of shi,,s.

. Ii Growth In the Size of Ships,
The growth in the size of ships be-
came most marked in the closing years
of the century. Ten years ago there
was not afloat a single vessel of 10000
tons: in 1901 there will be %. In 1892
there were launched in the United
Kingdom 81 steamers of wei 1000
tons; in 1900 no fewer than 125 were
built. OF the new steamers of over
10000 tons to be born in the first year
of the new century five will be over
$4,000 tons each. Who can place a
limit on what the new century may
see? 1t is stated by a we'll known ship
builder that he is ready ever now to
build a steamer of 10000 tons if desir-
ed. AS far as material is concerned
the thing is quite practicable, though it
may be questioned if it is desirable to
place such enormous risks ON one bot
tom. But before further increasing the
size of ocean carriers the problem to be
solved is how to increase speed with
Increasing the consumption Of coal.

RICHMOND, April 0.-Immediate and
perhaps radical changes are expected to
ensue when John NJ. Barr takes charge
of the Seaboard Air Line as vice presi.
dent and general manager. His appoint
ment is recognized by railroad men as
one Of the most significant and i'm
portant made in a long time on any
southern road.
The development of the policy he will
pursue is awaited with some interest.
1t is believed that the large holders of
the Seaboard securities have not been
satisfied with the management of the
road In the past nor its earnings Presl-
dent Williams has said that the ratio of
operating expenses was too great and
must be reduced.
1t is believed that under Mr.. Barr's
management the property will be
strengthened and improved, and that
valuable traffic CONNECTIONS may be
formed. Mr.. Barr's a cpointment is be.
lleved to mean great things for the fu-
ture of the road
The board of directors are i'll session

ranged at this meeting for + new $l0,.
100000 collateral loan, 5000 new cars
will be ordered and the date for diSsolv-

of the famous Miller Duncan gang of
safe blowers, entered plea of guilty to
the robbing of the safe of the Standard
Oil company in the criminal court and
was given a sentence of 20 years III the
penitentiary. This leaves but one mem
ber of the gang now in custody who has
not been tried and he is now on trial.
This is Tom Fay. The sentence given
West was the same as that received by
Frank Edwards, another member of the
gang, upon being convicted.
Fay claims that he was not present
at the time of the robbery and had moth
ing to do with it, He entered a plea of
not guilty and stated that he expected
to prove that he was in room over
Gelder's restaurant in this city when
the robbery took place. 1t was two or
three hours after this robbery whan
Frank Miller and Frank Duncan were
arrested by Policemen Kirkley and
Adams broke away from the officers
while on their way to the police station.
Both officers were fatally shot, and be-
fore Adams died he identified Miller
and Duncan as the men who did the
shooting. Miller is under death sen.

MONTREAL, April 10.-A pastoral let

With respect to cremation, the arch

Crime Involved In Mystery.

NEW YORK, April 10.-The robbery at
sea of the specie room of the North
German Lloyd liner Kaiser Wilhelm
der Crosse seems a mysterious crime.
Apparently there has been complete
failure TO locate either the missing bul.
lion or the men who took it, although
the search of passengers and ship at
Bremen Haven this morning may furn-
ish material for the Investigations.
Three bars of gold, aggregating in value
$22, 750 shipped by the National City
bank Of New York, were stolen from
cask No. 4 of the room somewhere be.
tween this port and Cherbourg. The
advices to Oelrichs e. Co., agents for the
company, came in German, and on the
point as to whether the specie room
was broken open or entered by picking
the lock admits of translation either
way.
The specie room of the Kaiser Will
helm der Crosse is iron bound and al.
most as strong as vault. It's door was
secured by patent lock for which there
were but two keys. One of the keys
was kept by the chief officer. the other
by the purser. The bars of gold were
packed in oak casks, bound with iron
hoops Thousands of dollars in gold
were within the reach of the man who
forced his way into the strong room,
but only the sum named was taken.
Official Statement.
At the office of the North German
Lloyd agents this morning the follow
ing statement was given to the Asso.
ciated Press:
"Three bars of gold, valued at $22. $50,
were taken from the specie room of the
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse somewhere
between here and Cherbourg. The bars
were taken from cask No. 4, but we
have no idea as to how the robbery was
accomplished. Our advices are brief and
do not show how the room was entered.
"The gold was shipped by the National
City bank of New York. We under.
stand it was insured, but the question
of responsibility will be passed upon
later. The ship is due at Bremen to-
day, and we may hear further from
there. We have not recovered the gold.
and this Office has no knowledge of the
thieves. The specie room is a strong
safe. We will make every effort possi-
BILE to recover the money and catch the
thieves"

GARNETT RIPLEY ON TRIAL
Charged With Completely In the Muir.

FRANKFORT, KY, April 10. - The
work of selecting jury in the case of
Garnett Ripley, accused of completely
in the Goebel murder, was completed
today. The jurors are all Democrats
and are farmers living outside Of this
city.
Ripley entered plea of not guilty at
the conclusion of the reading of the in.
dictment, and Judge B. G. Williams
began the opening statement for the
commonwealth. The first point which
the state would prove, he claimed, was
that a conspiracy was formed to kill
Goebel and that Ripley was connected
with it throughout. Ripley, he declared,
would be shown to have left Frankfort
the evening before the assassination, on
information that it was to take place
the next day, and that he contributed to
it by going home and equipping his
company, with orders to bring it to
Frankfort as soon as he received word
that Goebel had been killed.

All sorts of bodily deformities and dis

such as blindness, twisted feet, dropsy,
sores, bruised legs, paralysis, women
carried in carts or hobbling along on
