CASCADES IN ST. LOUIS
Novel Feature Planned For the
Worlds Fair.
THE DETAILS OF THE DESIGN

Huge Pumping Capacity Is Pro-
posed, With Electric Effects Be-
hind the Fall of Water-Spectacle
of Wonderful Beauty Promised.
Eighty Feet.
Work on the one Of the most unique
Of the exposition features was begun
the other day when the surveyors Of
the engineering department Of the St.
Louis worlds fair began taking the
grades on Art hill to determine the ex-
act cut and fill that will be needed for
the cascades and relative features,
says the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The surveying work was preparatory
to the letting Of the contract for the
necessary removal Of earth.
From descriptions of the work which
is to be done at St. Louis given by Di-
rector of Works Isaac S. Taylor, it is
evident that the amount Of money to
be expended on the hill will exceed the
fact, any one feature of any other ex-
position. The manner in which the
cascades are to be kept supplied with
clear water and the devices adopted
for producing Illuminating effects are
Of the greatest promise. Among the
things mentioned are a crystal cave
back of the cascades and arrangements
by which the water, descending at
night, will have all the hues of the
rainbow, with an infinite combination
of those colors.
The chief feature Of the cascades
will be a sheer drop Of from twenty to
twenty-fv feet, back Of which plate
glass will be so disposed that cham
ber will be formed from which the il
Eliminating effects may be operated.
At this point also there will be a stat
uary group Of nymphs and maids and
a cavern Of crystal. During the day
the falls will be simply a descent of
limpid water, but at night, when the
color effects are turned on, a spectacle
Of wonderful beauty is promised.
In conjunction with the cascades a
pumproom is to be esta blished for
the operation Of the water. For this
the interesting plan has been arranged
of excavating cavern at the base of
the hill, setting well back into the
earth. Here a pump station will be
inaugurated, the motive power to be
electricity furnished by wires con-
Meeting with the electric plant on the
grounds. Nine pumps, with a capac-
ity Of $4,000 gallons Of water per min
ute, will be operated. The water will
be pumped to the top Of the hill and
allowed to descend by the force Of
gravity, when 1t will be again forced
to the top. In this way the supply
will be kept constantly moving, and
the only loss will be from evapora-
IHon. Mr.. Taylor says that the pump
room will be concealed from sight, but
that it will be SO arranged that visit;

the CITY Of Venice were burning
brightly. To this the crew and pas
sengers all testify, saying they could
see the lights of the Venice as she
was sinking. The second mate of the
Seguin, w. A. Lavigne, sXeA6 was on
watch, refuses absolutely to give any
information in regard to the way the
accident happened.
"The less said about the matter the
BETTER" was the only statement he
would make.
Disaster Occurred at Midnight.
1t was shortly after midnight when
the accident happened The City of
Venice, laden with 5000 tons of ore,
was bound to Buffalo, while the Seguin
was going north to Perry Sound from
Ogdensbhrg. On board the Seguin all
were asleep save the second mate,
w. A. Lavigne, and the watchman,
who was with him in the pilothouse.
The first mate of the Venice, Sullivan,
was on watch aboard the boat that
went down. How the collision hap
pened cannot be ascertained, as Sui
livan is lying in the hospital and La
vigne will not talk.
The first that was known that any
thing had happened was a terrible
crash, which brought both boats al
most to standtill. The Seguin had
struck the Venice fairly amidships and
plowed it's way half through the boat.
The crews and passengers aboard both
boats heard tearing of timbers, min
gled with calls for help from those al
ready on deck. All those who were
sleeping rushed out on deck and there
was frightful panic for time. The
Venice, which had been split in two,
was sinking rapidly. Captain Broder-
ick ran on deck in his sleeping robes
and Immediately called to the men
to man the lifeboats. The members
of the crew who had not been hurt
rushed to his assistance and in five
minutes they had the boats in the
water. Several of the men, fearing
that the ship would sink before the
had an opportunity to escape, threw
themselves overheard. They were Ia
ter picked up by the lifeboats from
the Seguin. The City of Venice went
down in very deep water in less than
fifteen minutes after the collision oc-

GOVERNMENT CLAIMS VICTORY
Battle Fought, by Colombians at Aqua
Dulce.

Panama, Aug. 6.-Revolutionists
hSve been defeated in the battle with
government troops at Aqua Dulce.
The first message that came through
was addressed to General Salazar, gov
ernor of Panama, and carried news
of the defeat of the revolutionists.
The message said that q number Of
revolutionary officers belonging to the
forces under General Herrera had
passed that town in fight.
They reported the defeat of the rev.
olutionists at Aqua Dulce. ~s~
The United States cruiser Ranger
has gone to Aqua Dulce for the pur-
pose of bringing the wounded back
Panama.
Permission has been asked of Wash
ington for the Ranger to 60 In search
of the government gunboat Boyaca,
missing with 800 men on board.
She was attacked by the revolution
ary fleet and obliged to retreat. Cen
efal Salazar is of the opinion an ac-
cident has happened to the gunboat
which has left her helpless at sea or
stranded on the coast of an island.
1t is believed that the battle OF Aqua
Dulce will end the revolution.

How Everard b. Wilton Runs His
Household by Electricity.

nO" HVeraru d. wilton Runs HtA
Household by Electricity.
There is home in Shore View Park.
Jamaica, in the borough Of Queens,
New York, where nearly all the house
hold work is done by electricity, says
the New York Herald Everard B. Will
ton, retired hardware dealer and
an inventor, occupies the home, and it
was his cunning hand that devised and
set in operation the many electrical ap-
planes that evoke both the admiration
and awe Of his neighbors.
His meals are cooked by electricity.
his baby is rocked by electricity, his
rooms are swept and busted by elec-
tricity, his doors are opened and shut
by electricity, his house and grounds
are lighted by electricity, the opening
and closing Of his front gate are con-
trolled by an electric button in the
house, telephones are in all the rooms
and connected with his stable. where
his horses are curried by electricity.
There is an electric spanker to which
the youngsters are at times introduced,
and even the movements Of flock Of
pet pigeons belonging to one Of the boys
are controlled by electricity, for the
doors Of the pigeon house are opened
and closed by current. Electrical
mosquito exterminators guard the win
dows and doors. -
After the family has retired for the
night an electrical burglar alarm is set,
and no one could surreptitiously enter
or leave the house or grounds without
setting in motion a hundred and one
different devices, ringing, the electric
alarms, lighting up the house and
grounds, tumbiing everybody out OF
bed. starting the cradle going and
sounding an alarm in the police sta
ton and the nearest. fire house.
All the power for all these many
tricks and contrivances is generated
by an innocent looking windmill plant
ed in the yard thirty feet back of the
house, where it pumps water all day
and night and incidentally, by means
of an endless chain device, operates q
dynamo, which is connected with stor
age batteries.
Thus far only one Of Mr.. Wilton's
inventions has got the better Of him
It was an electric lawn mower.

The plans Of Director Of Works Tay-
lor regarding this main feature have
been considerably developed. The
three cascades planned, one at either
end and one in the middle of the long
slope of hill, will exceed any water
fall ever planned, it is said, eclipsing
the cascade Of the Trocadero at the
Paris exposition, the cascade at st.
Cloud and the Chateau dEau at Mar
seilles. The cascades will have a
total fall Of eighty feet This fall will
be divided into q series Of descents in
each cascade.

DISASTROUS FIRE.
Destroys Three Dwellings at Manning.


WARRINGTON, w. Va. Jan. PA
fire that threatened to develop into
a very serious conflagration occurred
here shortly after | o'clock yester
day. j. II. Philips house on the
heights, at the eastern edge of the
city, took fire from an overheated
gas stove and in an incredibly short
time the whole building was a mass
of flames. Before the fire depart
ment could reach the top of the
steep incline the fire had caught the
adjoining dwelling of j. II. Corbin
and the old presbyterian parsonage,
occupied by Henry and James Bos-
took, officials Of the window glass
company. Ali three dwellings were
burned to the ground, despite the
heroic work of the fireman and citi-
zens.
At one time it was feared that all
of the houses on the hill would 90,
but the fire was confined to the
structures mentioned. except the
home of j. 0. Cottrill, which was
badly scorched.
The total loss will reach $4,000.
The Phillips house where the fire or,
| iginated was not insured.
Several of the fremen had narrow
escapes. Nozzleman Marchand, of
the Alert hose company, came near
being burned IN the falling walls of
the parsonage. In one OF the houses
that was threatened a lady sick
with typhoid fever was removed to
safer quarters.

Peaceful Valley

Next Saturday Jan. 18th manager.
Swisher will offer his patrons Peace
full Valley, with Alden Bass as the
stellar feature. The play is one of
those thoroughly satisfying kind of
dramas telling a story of homely
everyday people, and yet ore full of
interest from the first act to the fall
of the final curtain. 1t is a play of
pure sentiment, clever diction. bright
and puugent wit and intensely hui
man scenes and situations all framed
In picturesque settings, for the act
tion of the major portion of it takes
place in the hills of New England.
Alden Bass does not play Hosea Howe
SO one critic has said, he is the part
even to the shoe-strings with which
his typical shoes are laced, for Mr.
Bass is not only an artist in the por
trayal of character, but in dress and
make up also There is something
about the acting of Mr.. Bass in his
quiet scenes to make his efforts telling
and those who see his Hosea Howe
believe IN the honesty of the New
England boy from the first. Not SC
much from the lines he is given to
speak, but from the convincing man
ner in which the character is played
1t is relief ia these days Of stage
trash to be permitted to sit in Judge
ment on play Of this kind, with no
straining for effect, or clap-t trap to
jar your nerves or make you wish you
were at home or had been out Of town.
peaceful Valley is play appeals to
all classes and kinds of people, and its
admirers will be found among the boys
in the gallery as well as those of bet
ter condition, able to sit in the high
er priced seats below stairs. Mr.
Bass has given the play an entirely
new and elaborate scenic dress this
season. The cast in support will in
clude, among others, Miss Polly Stock
well, Miss Louise Sidney, Miss Susie
A. Rogers, Miss Effie Gillette, Mr..
William Belfort, Mr.. Bert McCann,
James r.. Dickson, Carl Anthony
and John G. Carlyle.

ed Down Three Times Escaping From
Her Aggressor- Col0red Man Scares
the Scoundrel away from His Yic-
tim.
On Tuesday afternoon Miss Mel
lie Martin, 14year old daughter OF
Arthur Martin of Hopwood, who at
tends the Uniontown public schools.
was on her way home from school
and on reaching the switch of the
Atlas Coke works beyond Leith she
was aeeosted by an unknown man.
She was walking home on that af
ternoon and the villain was lying in
wait for her. He suddenly jumped
out from his hiding place and grab
bed her, He was a white man with
a handkerchief or other rag over his
face to conceal his identity.
Miss. Martins first thought was
to snatch the mask off in order to
see if she knew the men. She grab
bed for it but her hand got too near
his mouth and he bit her severely
on the thumb. While he was doing
this she vigorously beat the brute
over the head and face with her UNI
brella which she carried in the other
hand. He hit her in the face with
his fist and knocked her down.
She Immediately junsp,d up and
renewed the fight and h. again
struck her, knocking her down three
times. Just as she fell the third
time colored man was approaching
and be fired revolver He does
seem to have known of the struggle
and did not see the girl and her as
sailaut until the later frightened
by the shots started to run away.
The colored man then came up
and found the girl lying there, as
she was now too weak to get up. He
helped her up and assisted her to
the house of Mrs. Gray, where she
remained awhile and later was taken
home.
This was bold and dastardly as.
sault and occurred in broad day
light. Such attempts are becoming
too frequent in this community, and
they do not always get into print.
Nothing but a severe legal or sum
mary example will check them
