Damage From Coast Storm
Greater Than Estimates.

New York, Nov. 25.-The great storm
which came speeding up from the south
on Saturday night has spent its force
in this zone of the Atlantic coast and
the waters in the river upon lOWland
and beach are subsiding- More careful
survey of the storm swept coast 1ndl-
Gates that the aggregate damage VIII
exceed the general estimates of yester-
day Hundreds of small craft were
wrecked. or badly damaged, wharves
and piers at every exposed point were
battered down, many seaside resorts
were unroofed. low lands were flooded,
city cellars were filled and hundreds of
town houses were damaged.
Estimates of the aggregate damage
run slightly below and considerably
above 100000. Down at Monmouth
beach where the big German ship Flott-
beck drove ashore and where there was
a thrilling rescue of her crew by life
savers, an angry sea was still beating
upon the beach today. Wreckers have
been engaged but until the sea calmS,
nothing can be done toward saving the
ship and her cargo. The big craft firm
ly embedded in the sand was still intact
and Capt zeigler, her master who
watched her from the life saving station
was sure that both vessel and cargo
would be saved.
Storm bound shipping was released
early today but SeacoaSt railway and
trolley service win limp until washouts
are filled in. Linemen were busy re-
storing Frustrated telegraphic and tele-
phone wires today, but it will be a two
days before these services are complete
~ restored.
The extent of the damage to the rapid
transit tunnel was not fully determined
today.
FIVE MEN DROWNED.
Philadelphia, Nov 25.-Advices receiv-
ed in this city today by the maritime
exchange state five men were drowned
yesterday at Long Branch during the
height of the northwest storm which
swept the Atlantic coast Saturday night
and Sunday. The men are supposed to
have been members of the crews of the
barges Wilmore and Grant, which We're
lost by the tug Eureka, which arrived in
New York yesterday and reported that
she had lost her tow and had no It'd
inss of either crew.
The two barges came ashore at Chad
wick, n. J.. about one and one-half
miles south of Long Branch There
were seven men on the bargeS when
they went ashore All of the crew of
four on one of the bargeS were washed
overheard and lost while the life saw
ers with the aid of the breeches buoy,
saved two of the men on the other
barge The third man was washed ov-
erboard and drowned.
Further advices to the maritime ex-
change report the loss of the barges,

THERE WAS A ROW
Secret of Wilhelmina's Sudden
Illness Divulged.
Had a Violent Quarrel With
Her Husband.
WAS ALL ABOUT MONEY
He Fled to Germany and Had to
Be COaxed Back.
Has Not Been to See His Wife
Since His Return.

New York Nov. 25.-In connection
with Queen Wilhelmina's illness the fol-
lowing particulars have been published.
says the Amsterdam correspondent of
the Journal and Advertiser:
1t seems that before his marriag e
Prince Henry lived for a time at a pace
beyond his means and as consequence
fell into the hands of money lenders.
The debts he contracted in those days
were to be settled after his marriage
with the rich young queen, and quite
recently Henry made clean breast OF
the matter to her.
Upon learning all the particulars
to pay her consort's debts. the result
being that very violent scene took
place between them, which ended in
Henry rushing away to Germany and
Wilhelmina being taken i'll.
1t is said that only the most implOr-
Ing kilograms sent to him by the
queens mother induced Henry to re-
turn to Holland.
The queens mother is anxious to pre-
return to Holland Henry has not been
once to the palace where his queen is.
AS proof of the serious character of
the queens illness in spite of all reas-
surfing reports to the contrary, may be
mentioned the fact that the recent Off
cial Gazette did not contain a single
royal command, which is an unprece-
denied state of things.
HENRY WILL GO BACK
The Hague, Nov. 25.-Queen Wilhel-
nina is improving so satisfactorily that
Prince Henry will leave Het-Loo to-
morrow on a short visit to Prussia.

WAGCENER MAY MOVE.
Atchison Attorney to Be General
Solicitor Of ID. & II. G..

1t is stated that B. p Waggener, of
Atchison, now general attorney for the
Missouri Pacific Railroad company for
the states of Kansas, Colorado and Ne
braska, has been offered the place of
general solicitor for the Denver & Rio
Grande, with jurisdiction over the en-
tire system-CoIorado, Utah and New
Mexico.
Bale Waggener is one of the shrewd-
est railroad attorneys in the west. He
is a recognized power in political circles.
although he has mixed little in politics
on the surface for some time. He is
recognized as a Democrat, but as ne
controls the Missouri Pacific pass books
in Kansas all parties are friendly to
him. 1t is claimed that he stood close
to the Leedy administration, and many
people hold him responsible for the fail
ure of any anti-railroad legislation that
would stand in the courts. when the
Populists were in power At any rate,
he is recognized powerful factor
whenever the legislature meets, and a
Kansas legislature would probably feel
the absence of his influence in case he
decides to accept the place offered him
by the Denver & Rio Grande.

AFTER THE WILBUR co.
Comedian Young Sues For $1,000
Alleged Salary Due.

Leavenworth, Kan, Nov. 25.-The car
containing baggage of the Wilbur Opera
company, was attached on suit for
81 500 at 12 o'clock Saturday night just
as it was about to leave the city. The
suit was brought by an actor named
Dan Young, comedian of the Wilbur
Opera company. The attachment did
not hinder the company from leaving
the city however. and it left for St
Joseph Sunday morning at o'clock.
Miss Daniels by her attorney, F. P.
FitzWilliam gave a redelivery bond in
the sum of $4,000 and the car containing
the baggage, which had been attached,
was released.
Dan Young is the comedian of the
company. He claims he has a contract
with Miss Daniels for the season. His
salary is $50 week and that of his
wife $12 He is suing for his and his
wife's salary for that time, when he
claims the season of the company ends.
Miss Daniels version of the trouble Is
different
TITS like this" she said. Dan Young
has been with the company for several
seasons. He claims he has a contract
for this season, but he has none. When
we were playing in Quebec. early in the
summer my comedian got sick. Dan
had been writing me to take him back
home that's what they all call the
Wilburn Opera company. and l wired
him to come on He came and 1 took
him and his wife on at $62 a week for
both of them.
He was one of those actors who
drank too much. I discharged him in
August and then when he signed the
pledge a few days later 1 took him
back. Dan did very well, but he is not
a good comedian. Lately he has been
worse than usual and two weeks ago L

all that is required in the profession. 1t

WIPE OUT DEMERITS.
Santa Fe Makes a Christmas Present
to Its EmploYea.

Every trainman on the entire Santa
Fe system will be given a clear record
as a Christmas present. The manage
ment has announced that a clear slate
is to be given every employee on which
to start new record. All of the black
demerit marks that have been placed
against the names of employees for diff
ferent reasons. infractions of rules or
accidents, are to be wiped off and a
fresh start made.
What is known as the Brown system
of discipline has prevailed on this road
for several years. Under it an en-
ploye instead of being suspended with
out pay for violations of rules is given
a certain number of dement, marks.
When 100 demerit marks stood against
an employe ne was discharged. De-
merit marks could be erased only by
clear record for specified time or by some
meritOriOuS or heroic act. 1t was found
recently that the system was not being
observed uniformly over the entire
road, one division using it one way and
another putting a different construction
upon it.
Executive officers of the road recent
ly met and after considering the mat
ter and attempting to devise a method
of recOnciling the conflicting construc-
lions of the system by the different di-
visional officers concluded that the only
way of adjusting the matter would be
to wipe off all demerit marks against
fixed rules for the enforcement of the
discipline system all over the road.
Under the new agreement, which be-
comes effective at once, strict rules will
govern the markings.
A new account will be opened with
each employee and all employees will be
considered as starting with a clear rec
ord, except those who had so or more
demerit marks charged against them
after deducting credits. These employees
will have their dement's reduced to 40
marks. Reprimands and suspensions
Will be noted on the records of en-
ployes who may receive the same Sus-
pensions, though, for a certain number
of days, will be nominal. Instead of
actual suspension the employee at fault
will be allowed to continue at work
Record bulletins will be issued by the
superintendentS semi-monthly and
posted at divisional terminals on a spe-
cial board These bulletins will give a
brief account of each case where it is
deemed advisable to give all employees
an understanding of the case and the
discipline, especially cases where there
is any doubt on the part of the en-
ployes of the proper course to be pur-
sued, will state how it could have been
avoided, but will omit all reference that
would identify the person at fault

MANKATO MURDER TRIAL.
Brief History of the Shooting and
Cause of the Tragedy.

Mankato, Kas., Nov. 25.-The history
of the Esbon murder case, entitled
THE State VS.. Roy Wilson," the result
of which the State Journal gave Sat
urday. occupied ten days and was most
interesting. The case was tried before
Judge Picker.
The defendant, Roy Wilson, a young
man of "A years. fell in love with Pearl
johnson, living near Esbon, KaS., and
for the past two years had been paying
her attention and they were finally en-
gagged, but the time for the marriage
not definitely set, the girl being under
is years of age and the parents object
ing to the match. The father of the
girl, William Johnson SO seriously OBJ
jected to the young mans attention to
the girl that he had repeatedly threat
ened to kill him if he did not desist
therefrom, and on one occasion he told
the girl that if she did not quit going
with him he would kill Roy if he had
to waylay him to do it.
After some abusive onslaughts by the
father of the girl against the young
man and after numerous of the
threats against the young man by the
father were communicated to him, the
young man and the father of the girl
met in Esbon, kas., on the evening of
the Sd of July, 1901, and a fight took
place which ended in a shooting, the
young man using no gun until after
the father of the girl had run to his
buggy and procured a gun and came
pack at the young man, Whereupon the
young man shot and instantly killed
the girls father. The young man was
arrested and placed in Jail without bail
to await the next term of court, con-
vening November II, and the coroner's
jury returned a verdict that William
Johnson had come to his death by
means of pistol shot at the hands of
Roy Wilson. Wilson remained in Jail
and has just had his trial for the
offense. Messrs. Kirkpatrick & Hotch-
kiss and r. W. Turner and j. M. LlV-
ingood appeared for the defendant, and
Messrs. r. H. Mcbride and R. S. Man
ley for the state, and after the exami
ma ton of about 100 witnesses and a.
legal battle of ten days duration the
jury Saturday returned a verdict of
not guilty. The case was vigorously
fought on each side and has attracted
more attention than any case tried in
this part of the state for some time.
The defense was that the shooting
was in self-defense
