Array the Result of a Desire on He,
Part to Be Avenged Over Husbands
Efforts to Get Divorce.

An ARRAY occurred ut the Waldo coal
mine near wiIsonburg Saturday morn
ing, which at one stage promised murder,
but fortunately the participants all es-
capped without serious injury.
Mrs. William Ross, colored, of Adams
ton, melted the fight. She is being sued
by her husband for divorce, and for some
time he has been living at the home of
white man named Bess Blair at the
Waldo mine.
She concluded to have vengeance and
brooded over their domestic troubles to
the extent of making up her mind to
iSiil her husband. Accordingly she arm
cd herself With revolver and went to
the Blair home. She entered the place
and attempted to shoot Ross. There fol-
lowed q general melee, in which both
white and eolored people engaged It adj
vanced to the stage where the superin-
tendent had to take hand, and, it was
with difficulty he quelled the affray.
Applications have been made for war
rants, but so far none have been issued.
Ross thinks the woman intended to
murder him.

In Working as a Longshoreman.

"Old Ripley" was another staten
Island waterfront man with a history
and fortune. He had blue blood, De-
sides, for he was descended from one
of the old Huguenot families that set
tied on the island in the young years
Of America family Of noble lineage
He was the last OF his family, De-
cause. he said, love OF the wafer

It Is told on the island by those VINO

the water was inspired by an uncon-
ouerabIe desire TO be near the place
where the betrothed of his young man.
hood lost her life while attempting 10
cross the Arthur XIII during a squat
From that day "Old Ripley" neg
lected his business in New York and
took to hanging around the wharf OF
the little suburb where his fiancee had
embarked to her death. His friends,
unable to make him forget, desisted
after awhile. and then ''Old Ripley
swiftly sank to the level in which he
stayed for nearly thirty years.
He did odd jobs to keep body and
soul together. but always near the
water. He slept, summer and winter,
as close to the water as he could get.
And when he was neither working
nor sleeping he could be found gaz-
ing out over the XIII where the girl
and her brother had drowned.
The only pleasure that "Old Ripley
ever permitted himself he INDUCED In
whenever he was able to scrape up
enough money to hire boat for an
hour or two. or was successful In
pleading with some Of his acquaint-
ances for the loan of one.
Then he would pull out into the Kill
and furiously row up and down until
worn out, when he would leisurely
make the land and stink off. his uncut
hair and long bristling beard flaring
out In all directions.
"Oad Ripley's" end was in keeping
with his life. He rolled off the wharf
on which he was sleeping one sum
mer's night. They picked up his
body several days later over on the
opposite shore. and the old mans
riverfront acquaintances, who were
conversant with his romance. vowed
that the body went ashore at the place
where his sweetheart was making fol-
when her boat capsiZed.

The average 1ongshoreman Is not re.
garded as a man who would have
much romance in his life. but Ger.

has had varied adventures all over the
world.
Though q longshoreman, with a
daily wage of something under 50, he
lives, not in one of the waterfront
boarding houses that his fellow work.
ers haunt, but in secend-rate hotel
in the central part Of the city, where
the rates for rooms alone equal his
earnings. He has been staying there
for ten years, and whenever he pays
his bill it Is by check.
The first time that he offered q
check It was politely refused.
If you are afraid Of It," smiled the
man, "just call up the - Bank and
ask them about me-"
The clerk did SO, and this was the
reply he got:
Certainly, it's all right. He's good
for many times that sum any day"
But who the man is. or where he
HAS uuuc uhS uouCy, VI why ne per-
Eists in working as a longshoreman,
no one can satisfactorily say. Those
who know as much as this Of his his.
tory believe him to be an Englishman,
with blooded family ties. But that Is
only guess work, as are also their
conjectures about his wealth.
And for his apparent relish for the

have no explanation except that
which the man himself gives:
