ITALIANS TO WORK SOUTH.

they Are Preferred to Negroes, Italian
society's Agents Say.
Because Of tho industrial awakening in
the South and the unpopularity Of negro
labor, Italian immigrants will in the future
be diverted to regions Of the latitude Of
their own sunny Italy. Two officials OF the
Society for the Protection Of Italian Immi-
grants OF II Pearl street, Charles B. Phipard,
manager, and Gino c. Speranza, secretary,
have just returned from the Southern
States with the information that negro labor,
because of its unsteadiness and improve
dence. is in great disfavor there, and that
the tendency is to substitute Italian labor.
They went South to investigate condi-
tions, partly on the inv itation Of mill
owners and plantation owners, and while
there received many invitations to send
Italian laborers to the South, with assurance
that they will receive protection and OPP
portunity to advance themselves.
MIR. Phipard cited several cases coming
under his observation where Italians are
wanted to take the place Of negroes. A
manufacturing company at Paduncah, KY,
would like several families to work In a
cotton factory, .preferIing those who have
had experience in the factories in the north
OF Italy. The manager Of cotton factories
at Memphis, Tenn, said that there is q great
opportunity for Italian immigrants to en-
gage In farming on the alluvial plains Of
the Mississippi, whore good many Italians
are already located. The negroes have
not taken advantage Of the land.
A plantation and timberland owner at
Vicksburg said that he is desiI GUS Of secur-
ing number Of Italian families for farm
ing, preferring those from the north Of
Italy. He would lease them plantations in
Louisiana. He said he would rent his
plantations either for 80 much an acre.
or for so many shares Of the crop raised,
which last is a common procedure in the
South: In renting land to his tenants he
furnishes the mule, provisions and house
to live in, and sometimes pays transporta-
ton charges. At the end of the year it is
expected that all will be repaid. His wages
range from rs cents to SIPS a day.
A pressed brick company at Peruque,
Mo, is also mentioned as firm that wants
Italian settlers. The company will rent
houses Of four rooms to Italians for q. so
to $3.50 a month, and give the men with
families an acre Of garden ground free.

EXPLOSION WRECKS CARS.
Gunpowder on q N. L., n. II. & II. Freight
Train Blows Up at Hay Chester.

An explosion which aroused Bay Chester
and City Island at 1 o'clock yesterday
morning wrecked the last three cars Of an
New Haven and Hartford Railroad as it
was passing through Bay Chester.
The three cars were blown to atoms and
the shock was felt for miles around. The
police were positive that either one or all
Of the cars contained dynamite, but the
railroad officials said that the last cars
carried consignment Of ten kegs of gun
powder. Luckily for the crew the caboose
had been left of for fear that just such
an accident might happen.
The train was crossing the Bay Chester
trestle, where there is down grade. when
the last car became uncoupled. When
the train slowed up the car crashed against
the one in front. The explosion followed.
What set the gunpowder of no one could
explain. The three cars were blown into
the air, and then fell into the swamp beside
the tracks, on fire. No one was injured
Sergt. Sennett OF the Mounted Squad
OF West Chester was on his horse at the
v est Chester bridge when he heard the ex-
poslon. He thought that an earthquake
had happened. Az he rode through Bay
Chester he found the town folks rushing
out in their night clothes and wondering
what had happened.
Sergt. Ferdon, who was on duty In the
West chester station when the explosion
occurred, thought burglars were r0bbing
the post Office, and sent some cops around
TO Investigate.
Another policeman sent in fire alarm,
and ths firemen had to pump the wells
dry in the neighborhood TO keep the flames
from lDraalinx 10 the lDIIbas naaT the burn.

Of the Larchmont Golf Club, and it is said
much of the love making was done there,
The wedding trip was to the Adrondacks.
Al present they are living with Mrs.
Bieham's sister In NewRochelle.
zThe reason the wedding was private, =

MR.. HEALY'S SUDDEN MARRIAGE
Lost His Head and His Heart 1t the Same
Time, Says His Father.

A. Augustus Healy. president Of the
Brooklyn Institute Of Arts and Sciences
who lives on Columbia Heights. confirmed
yesterday the report OF the marriage Of his
son, Henry Wilder Healy, to Mrs. Elizabeth
Zita Dickens OF Milwaukee. Henry W.
Healy was engaged to Miss Laura Hubbard
Of Englewood, N. j.. and his friends were
greatly surprised when they learned that
he had broken on the engagement with
Miss Hubbard and had been quietly married
to a woman not known to them.
A. Augustus Healy said yesterday that
he was sorry that the fact of the marriage
had been made public, as cards announcing
the marriage were to be sent out on Monday.
He said there was no mystery about the
matter and there was little sensation in the
facts.
my son went to Wisconsin on business,
Mr.. Healy said, the first Of June, and almost
Immediately formed the acquaintance Of
the young woman whom he married on
view. he lost his head and his heart at the
same time. My sons idea was not to inform
us Of his marriage by letter, but orally,
after he should return East a few weeks
later, thinking that, with full explanation,
We would be entirely content with his choice
AFTER receiving Sucn explanation from
him, and after full inquiry into the mat
ter and interviews with my sons wife,
had by both Mrs. Healy and myself, and
q full knowledge Of her received from
mutual friends in the West, we found that
we could not reasonably object to my sons
choice of a wife, however much we might
have objected. and did object, to the sud-
denness and the manner Of his marriage.
We therefore concluded, in agreement
with the mother Of the bride, to issue the
cards Of announcement, which will COM
pletely terminate the affair.
we all regret. including my son. that
the marriage occurred so soon after his
engagement to Miss Hubbard, whom we
hold in very high regard. As to what
passed in the way Of correspondents be-
tween Miss Hubbard and my son prior to
his marriage, am not informed.
MY sons wife's name is Elizabeth Zita
Dickens. She was the widow Of Heber
W. Dickens Of Milwaukee, who died two
and a half years ago. He was highly re-
spected and a member OF an excellent
family OF that city. My son and his wife
are OF the same age, both rs. l will say
that both Mrs. Healy and myself have
very favorable opinion Of my sons wife.
resulting both from our personal meeting
with her and from what we have learned
from others
At the time that young Mr.. Healy met
Mrs. Dickens she was employed as a stem
oRrapher in the Office OF the Wisconsin
Republican League. Mr.. Healy and his
bride are now in Pennsylvania, where he
is attending TO business in the interest
Of the United States Leather Company.
by which company he is employed.

The crowd within the church muir
INJURED approbatioa,, while the throng
outside repeatedly shouted the name
From all sides the crowd commenced
rapidly to Increase, jamming door
ways and windows to await the pope's
blessing
The tapestry was withdrawn
from out the windows and let down
inside. Meanwhile the crowd was
swlrling through the doorways. Here
a curious incident occurred. Evident
ly Sarto hesitated whether to bless the
world from the outside or the inside
of the church for the tapestry was
again changed. The crowd started to
rush out again but as the cloth was
once more changed into the church the
rushing current Of humanity was re-
versed. The pope robed in white then
went inside the window and three
tins blessed the crowd, who respond
ed from their knees with a solemn
amen. The pope with the cardinals
then returned to the vatican where
the majority of cardinals lunched with
his holiness. In the ceremony of in
vestment with the fisherman's ring
a new one designed by Oreglia was
used, as the old one is still missing.
The pope said the large multitude ter
rified him and he never again expected
to feel such emotion. There was some
expression of bad temper among the
defeated cardinals, two engaging in
an alteration at the conclusion of the
cCnclave until scandalized friends
separated them. Many cardinals were
plainly chagrined.
The details OF the voting are not yet
fully known. 1t is learned however,
that Herrera, Cretoni, Svampa. Lang
ieuX, COuille and Mocceni were too
i'll to go to the voting chamber. The
pOpulace had been certain that an
election would take place today, this
being St. Dominick's day, the saint
whose shield bears the picture Of a
dog with a flaming torch in his mouth
and the inscription "Ignis Ardens. .
One OF Sarto's first acts was to visit
Cardinal Herrera. the Octogenarian,
who is slightly better. He gave him
the papal benedictiOn. Sarto's coat
Of arms is an anchor surmOunted by
