THREE PERSONS ARE DEAD
AUTOMOBILE DAsHES OVER EN-
eANkMENT ONTO RAIL-
ROAD TRACKS.

New York, Oct. 8.-Driven at the
rate of twenty-five miles an hour a
three-seated touring car containing
nine persons, four men and five women
dashed over an embankment at the
southern end of Jerome avenue, land
ing on the southbound track of the
New York Central and Hudson River
railroad. Just at that moment south
bound local train, running fast to make
up time, rounded curve and struck
the automobile Three persons were
killed, two instantly; two were seri
ously injured and the other four, al
though badly bruised and shaken
were able to go home.
Several persons, including two po-
licemen, saw the automobile rushing
down the avenue and were surprised
when it kept straight ahead. They
shouted warning, but it was too late.
With no appai ent stacking OF speed
the big car crashed through the fence,
cleared dirt embankment extending
about five feet above the stone retain.
ing wall and then, clearing the wall,
made sheer drop ofkwenty-five feet
to the railroad track. In it's descent
the car half turned and several of its
occupants were spilled out.
The towerman in a switch tower
about hundred feet north of Jerome
avenue heard the. automobile as it
broke through the fence and running
to his window saw the car strike the
track. The Groton local was but one
hundred feet away and the engine
about fifty feet north of block signal.
Jumping to the switch mechanism he
dropped the lever that worked the arm
of the signal and instantly the danger
signal flashed before the eyes of the
locomotive engineer, who just caught
the red glare as his cab passed the
signal post. At once he reversed his
engine and put down the airbrakes,
but his speed had hardly slackened
perceptibly when the train struck the
automobile.

'}qt&s st:Es- session. r. -@
Boston, Oct. 8.-The triennial Epis-
copal convention met as the boaro OF
missions, the house OF blsnops anu
house of deputles sitting tog ether.
There was much interest in the SEES
sion because Of the widespread criti-
cism OF The apportionment plan Tor
the assessment of dioceses In saprort
Of the general mission fund. The re
port Of the secretary showed that many
dioceses had failed to raise their share
OF the apportionment. The total mis-
sionary receipts during the year from
all sources save legacies were 1857 900,
an increase over the preceding year
Of $4,000. The lapportionment Tor
last year was $500 200 and the receipts
to apply upon 1t were s4l3, 900, or q
shortage on expectations Of $217 900.
The board, however, is not that sum
til debt, but merely fell short Of that
amount In Its requests Of the church.
A large part OF the day was devoted to

BATTLE RACES THREE HOURS.
Freshman-Sophomo Glass Fight at
Wisconsin University.

Madison, Wis.,, Oct. Silk hundred
students of the University of Wiscon-
sin have been ducked in the waters of
Lake Mendoza in the annual university
freshman-sophomore rush. No one
was drowned and the most serious in
juries were numerous wrenched joints
and four-inch cash in the head of a
freshman, received from boathook in
the hands of sophomore while de-
Tending the second year class flag raft
400 feet OFT in the lake. For three
hours and half the battle ragged and
ended with the sophomores dividing
among themselves the shreds of their
great red flag, which had been the
subject Of the most strenuous class
fight ever held here.
The authorities regret the dangerous
feature of the raft and the fighting in
deep water and this, perhaps, will not
be allowed to occur as a part of sub
seQuent annual rushes.

Steamers Have No Trouble in Reach
inu That Port.

Tsingtau, Oct. S.-The German
steamer Progl ess, chartered by local
German and which let mere twenty-slN
days ago with a general cargo con-
signed to Nladivostok, returned from
that port during the DAY and reported
that she found it easy to elude the
Japanese ships in that vicinity. She
reported that a number of large ships
have been there recently with stores
of coal and ammunition. The city of
Vladivostok is quiet and the Russians
seem depressed over. their land and
sea reverSeS.
Vladiyostok is being heavily forti.
fed, the harbor is being mined and
repairing OF the damaged ships is 60
ing on. 1t is believed that it will be
impossible to put the armored cruiser
Rossia in seaworthy condition.
1t is stated in Vladivostok that Cen
eral kuropatkin has been very i'll and
unable to personally command his
army since the battle of Liaoyang.

FIRING HEARD At SEA. r
Only Confirmation Of Reported Naval
Engagement. s

OnJy ConHrnation OF hep0Fteo naval
Engagement.
st. Petersburg, Oct. S.The only
reference to the reported sea fight off
Port Arthur is contained in delayed
special dispatch from Chefoo, which
says that on the night of Oct. the
sound of firing was heard in the direc-
ton of Port Arthur and that search
lights were seen to be working in that
vicinity. It is thought there may have
been q battle, but no confirmation of
the report of one has been received.
The dispatch further states, in spite
Of the tightening Of the Japanese
blockade, junks are still arriving from
the fortress bearing refugees. who say
that all the attacks of the japanese
have been repulsed and that it will be
necessary to institute q long siege and
q complete blockade in order to re-
duce the fortress. The blockade, &C
cording to the refugees, Is not COM
pletely effective, junks continually ar
living with food supplies and NUM-
tons for the garrison. The Japanese
have instituted close patrol over the
entire Yellow sea, stopping every yes
sci sighted.

New York, Oct. 8.-Five submarine
boats built in Massachusetts, have been
shipped by rail from Jersey City.
West of Chicago" is the destination
expressed upon the way bill which &C.
companied one of the most unusual
shipments which has ever crossed the
American continent.
Valued at nearly $4,O00,0O0 the tor
pedo boats occupied seventeen new
steel fiat cars and six box cars, the
appearance OF the entire train being
not unlike the caravan of circus.
The boats were shipped in sections
and each car was covered with canvas,
which concealed the contents.
There was not the slightest mark on
any car to indicate the contents or the
destination and to the railroad en-
|ployes who inquired the stereotyped
answer was given that the covered
masses were q part OF q large ship
ment OF machinery destined for the

In cross examination Harris admitted
that he had been paying the girl a
maximum wage Of $3.50 week. He
also testified that he paid a second
$50 at the Anderson house, but claimed
he did SO on the theory that it would
injure his business to have the story,
though untrue, get out that he was
mixed up in a scandal.
Mrs. Harris also went on the stand.
She said she was present when the
first $50 was paid the girl, but said her
husband did not say anything to her
about the second $50, or the circum-
stances attending his visit to the An
derson house, until some time after.
Mrs. Harris was mixed up on the dates
as to when she first learned Of the
condition Of the Anderson girl.
A number of witnesses were intro
duced by the state who testified to the
reputation for truth and veracity OF
the girl. aes -sst., s2sss s. ~ - .- n

child for a period Of 16 years, amount
ing in all to $780,. Harris will have
to give a bond to cover the amount
and if he fails in this, he must stay IL
jail for an indefinite period.
Some little excitement was causet
in court this morning by an investiga
ton of an attempt at jury fixing, made
by James Thomas Of Wilton. On thu
previous evening he approached G. R

fered him roll of money, at the sam,
