TWELVE MESSAGES FROM THE SEA
Come In n BEETLES Frsm n MIldens
and Drifted Into One Beer Crate.

BY a curious trick Of the tide mass o I
evidence Of many crimes has been heaped
together in a single day in Jamaica Bay,
just inside Rockaway Inlet. Az the hood-
tide on Tuesday night an empty beer bottle
crate was washed through tho inlet and
stranded on its side in shoal water. Being
waterlogged 1t stayed on bottom with its
three rows Of four bottle holes each open
seaward. As the tide ran yesterday morning
four bottles came through the inlet and
hoated into the lower tier OF holes in the
crate As the water rose four more bot ties
came in and filed the second tier of holes
and when the tide was flood again the dozen
was completed.
A fisherman, the abandoned son Of q
gypey queen, found the filled crate yes
terday at low tide and carried Il TO lonely
house, where II was found by beautiful
actress who had lost her way while walking
from Coney Island to Canarse. She opened
the bottles one after one and found In each
message from the sea. an appeal from
one In danger. All were from young women,
eleven of whom are held prisoners on eleven
yachts. The twelfth young woman Is held
for ransom on garbage boat with an
automatic bottom. II ransom Ia not paid

In Two States.

GREENWICH, Conn. Aug. 7.--Constable
Medley telephoned F. r. Long, contractor
at Hackensack, n. j., this afternoon that
the citizens OF Port Chester and Haw-
thorne had forced their way over Byram
bridge which the Long company has about
completed and would not open to the public
and that he wNs powerless as one against
hundreds to prevent the road from being
used. Mr.. Long told the constable that
those who went on the bridge were tres
passers, as he had not turned the bridge
over to the authorities and that he would
come mere tomorrow and see about 1t.
The public on both sides Of the Byram
River in New York and Connecticut had
been inconvenienced for three months by
reason OF the rebuilding Of the bridge.
On Sunday an attempt to force a funeral
procession over failed.
While Constable Medley was at dinner
to-day the bars were torn down and dozens
OF wagons passed over. The McClaves,

Workers who reside at Byram Shore were

OUR COAL IN FRANCE.
British Consul Gives warning Of IN Amert-

sp,eia, Cab. D.,pa,ch TO THE sun.


LONDON, Aug. IA British consular re-
port on the trade Of Marseilles says that
the most vital question for the United King
dom for the moment is the determined at
tempt Of the United States to monopolize
the coal imports. II is added that a large
share Of trade In the future In Marseilles
and the south of France will be with the
United States, largely at the expense OF
tho United Kingdom unless British traders
wake to the danger, meet Il by diligent In
vestigAtion and fight Il by combination.
A great coal combination is contemplated.
Without 1t American coal will surely come
to the French market, although it will be
unable to oust British coal 1t will simply
be a question Of freights and quality. both
of which are against the United States,
but the proposed combination looks danger
GUS.
The Consul in giving some details Of the
combinations scheme says that as soon
as the United States subsidies shipping
the combination will build a fleet OF 1900
ton vessels and construct huge depots at
Marseilles, Genoa and Salonica, facilitating
the work at those places with labor-saving
machinery. The vessels will also trade
with Manila, taking whatever freight Is
available when they have no coal to carry.
They will also carry passengers.
The combination will manufacture bri-
quettes at its Mediterranean depots work
ing its machinery with electricity pro-
duced from water power, These bri-
quettes are made by mixing petroleum
and refuse coal. and the product is little
inferior to the best Cardiff coal. Already
a station has been acquired on the River
Durance. which is capable Of furnishing
&c, 900 horse power.

ESCAPED RUNAWAY CARS.
Passenger Train shunted to . Side Track
Just In Tine.

GrnFoRp, Me, Aug. IA remarkable
escape from serious wreck on the Bangor
and Aroosiook Railroad is reported from
Monson Junction. Five cars broke away
from the Oldtown and Blanchard freight
train at Blanchard yesterday afternoon
and we're stopped only after they had run
twelve miles over the down grade, Just
outside the Guilford town limits. At
some places the grade is very sharp and
the wild cars attained great velocity.
The upbound passenger train, heavily
loaded with tourists for the various sum
mer resorts, had just pulled into Monson
Junction when a message came TO the
station agent from Blanchard warning
him that the runaway freight cars were
dashing over the single track between
that place and Monson. There was barely
sufficient time to shunt the passenger train
from the main track to a siding when the
runaways rushed past the station at a
speed estimated at more than a mile q
minute.
After passing Monson Junction the run.
aways had a clear track and continued
on their way until the momentum was
overcome by the heavy up grade outside
this town.
