It Is Expected to Give Much Better Re-
suits Than Coal

suits nan Goal.
New York. July 2l.--Charles II. Flint re-,
Gently gave a commission to Charles u.
Mosher to design and tp Ayres OF Nyack to
build boat, called yacht for convenience,
which should be able to travel forty knots
an hour The boat has been called the
Arrow, and in few days she viii have
her ofhclal trials.
since Mr.. Flint gave the commission for
forty knot boat. others Interested In fast
vessels have been trying to figure out
whether it would be possible and profitable
to hnild not facht, but an ocean liner
That would cross the Atlantic In four days.
One Of the persons who took up this prob
lon was George Wilson, president OF the
Atlantic shipping company Of this city.
Mr. Wilson believes that his engineers aud
designers have solved the problem by the
use OF turbine engines driven by the direct
impact OF the combustion OF crude Texas
petroleum.
Mr. Wilson says that IS company is now
making arrangements for the building OF
ships to cross the Atlantic from New York
10 Berehaven In the southwest Of Ireland,
In three aud a half days lie sapS that,
allowing two hours nom the company .
pier in New Nosk TO Sandy Hook and thir-
teen hours from Berehnyen to London pas.
sengers and mails would be carried from
New York to London, In little less than
four and quarter uANs taxing INTO az
count delays Incident to customs eNanina-
tion and the handling Of baggage, lie says
that the vessels contemplated Will have an
average speed OF thirty knots clear across
the Atlantic Mr.. Wilson draws attention
to the fact that when the steamers OF his
line are running man can run over to
London and back In nine days.
This great speed is TO be attained and
the company building the ships Is going to
make money out Of the project through
the use of the turbine engine and Of crude
petroleum for fuel. Hitherto II has been
supposed that the cost Of running an ocean
liner much faster for instance, than the
Deutschland, would be too great and too
much cargo space would have "a be sacr,,
feed for boiler and engine rooms TO make
such vessels profitable.

Divers Find $65,ooo More.

San Francisco, Cal. August "a The
divers employed by the Selby Smelling
company, under the management OF Pink
err on detectives, today took $65, 00J worth
Of gold from the spot where 1t was hidden
by Winters, making 100000 already re.
covered. 1t is expected that tho remand
er Of tho stolen treasure amounting to
$S3 600 will be recovered within twenty
four hours.
Winters Ia still detained, but has not
been formerly charged with the crimo.
The fact that he has not been charged
with any crime leads to the belief that
he will be leniently dealt with for confess
ing the crime and pointing out the spot
where he secreted the bullion.
A lively fight Is expected between
tho detectives over the reward money and
the matter may be taken Into the courts
Detective Morse, who. 1t Is said, definite
ly fixed upon winters the authorship Of
tho crime, states that no got tho first In
formation from Donaldson. an emp oye
of tho works who formerly roomed with
Winters.
Acing upon this inform alton, Morse
gathered sufficient evidence against " in.
ters to warrant tho arrest of the latter.
Morse who is Il detective for the Selby
company, does not claim any Of the re.
ward. but states thata large portion Of
it should be divided between Donaldson
and Sheriff Veal Of Contra Costa County.
The lawyers of tho latter are drawing np
papers setting forth the claims of Donald
son and Veal. Their claims are opposed
by the 0. her detectives in Tho case.

A Double Murder.

Baltimore, Aug. 12.--Jealously

cided to 90 mad. About ten min
utes before 10 O clock man and a
m, tler lay dead in their blood on
the Cedar avenue. bridge; a hus.
band and father stood behind bars
a confessed murderer, and parent
less little girls with blue eyes and
yellow hair waited for father and
mother to come home.
The dead are Mrs. George Jane
Adams, the wife OF Josiah Isaiah
Adams, and Charles Houck. 10.

they met by appointment OH the
bridge. Adams is 81 years old;
his dead vile is one year younger,
and Houck was about their aye.
Adams had heen married four
teen years and there were five
small children. Mrs. Adams, who
was 81 years old, it is said, had
conducted herself as proper and
dutitul wife until she met Charles
IIouck. Houck: though cripple
aud walking on crutches, was Of a
prepossesslng appearance, and
Mrs. Adams became infatuated
with him. The two made a num-
ber Of appointments to meet each
other,
At first these meetings were clan.
destine, but gradually Mrs. Adams.
grew boldcr and finally her hus-
band learned Of it. When told by
her husband that she must stop
meeting Houck she detied him, and
said sh. would meet Houck as
often as she pleased. This great
provoked Adams, and when he
learned their plan to meet this
morning he hurried!y returned to
his home and forbade his vile to
leave the house.
She again deticd him and said
she would 60 if she wanted 10.
Adams warned her not to go out.

she did, and lett the house. Some
time later Mrs. Adams left the
house and took car to Draid Hill
Park. Adams who had been on
the watch tracked her through the
palk and to the Cedar avenue
bridge, where she met Houck.
The two had not been talking to.

to go OFT the bridge together at its
east end, when Adams hurriedly
approached, Without word of
warning, he opened fire from 3S.
calibre revolver of the bulldog pat
tern. Houck was shot twice and
Mrs. Adams three times, the latter
time after she had fallen across
Houck's body. Both died short
time after the shooting.

MAGISTRATE AGGRESSIVE.
Wants Practice Of Imposing Fines
Broken Up.

Magistrate Bradley is determined to
do what he can to break up the practices
of imposing fines in cases that have been
heard and in which the parties were
fined" He demonstrated this by the dis
position of case which was brought
before him last night.
Josephine Lewis. colored, brought suit
against Violet Agnes, colred. whom she
charged with abusing and threatening
her. Magistrate Bradley questioned
Josephine and found that the case had
been heard before Magistrate Pritchrtt.
The woman said hearing was given On
Saturday and the other sid" of the case
was heard yesterday morning. Both
times she said fines were imposed.
As soon us he learned that the case
had been in Magistrate pritchctt's
court. Squire Bradley would have moth
ing to do with it, He promptly dismiss
ed it. When a case has been disposed
of Squire Bradley does not believe in
the practice of taking it up again and
imposing fines.
