BLOW IN THE HEAD
MAY CAUSE HIS DEATH,
Ten-fenr-Old Negro Boy Assaulted
the West Side.

William Henry Lambert, a 12-year-
old negro boy living at No. lis Laurel
street, was struck in the head with a
brick at Margaret and West Broad
streets last night and at an early hour
this morning it was not believed that
he would recovered.
How Lambert sustained the injury
that may cost him his life is not known
TO the police. The blow probably frac-
tured the skull and the boy never re-
gained consciousness after he was
knocked down. His mother had sent
him to the corner store to make a pur-
chase AS soon as ii was determined
that Lambert had been seriously in
Jured the detectives were put at work
on the case, and every effort will be
made to discover who used the brick.

A TORPEDO EXPERIMENT.,

get the vessel afioat again. although she
was only in shallow water. The OBJ
Ject OF the torpedo experiment was to
ascertain whether celIulose material
made OF corn pith could be relied upon
TO prevent the thrush Of water whea q
ship had had a big hole knocked in her
bottom. Accordingly, on Belleisle's hull,

beer constructed representing the
double bottom Of &, modern battleship,
and this was packed with c%ellulose. On
september s the Belleisle was towed
to FaIehem creek. in Portsmouth har-
Dor, n a torpedo warhead charged
with gun cotton exploded under the
false bottom by the officers Of his ma
1estys ship Vernon, torpedo school at
portsmouth. The effect was more dis
astrous than was anticipated. Not only
was the false bottom blown to pieces
end the celulose sent high up into the
air with the volume of water that fol-
lowed the explosion. but a big hole
was also mad in the ships bottom,

a difficult one, owing to the soft ma
ture OF the bottom. AS fast as the
mud was cleared away to enable the
divers to work on patching up the rent

structed inside the ship, and eight

with It's keepers quairelng as to the
beet method of feeding 1t and the Dem
ocrutio donkey nlbbllns the hay, the So
cred white elephant of the Republican
party Is becoming very uneasy
The Suffolk Herald is little weary Of
politics. 1t says:
1--WE learn from tho Richmond papers
that the people arc greatly aroused over
tho nominations for Governor and United
States Senator In 1905. What good 1t will
do tho Democratic party to keep up this
agitation we are unable to see. So fur as
the territory the Herald covers is con-
cerncd, tho people are taking no interest
whatever In tho nominations for 1905; they
gro so busy attending to their business
affairs they have no time for county poll
tics for 1908. much less for State politics
for 1906.
