DROVE HIM CRAZY.
Hen Entered 2A Inch Pipe and Could
 Not Get Ont.

Derby, July 27.-The terrible fear of the unseen inherent in humanity came upon James Barrett and drove him mad as he lay in a twenty-four inch water main 300 feet from its mouth.
 Barrett was foreman Of a gang of pipe layers engaged in laying 1000 feet of twenty-four inch pipe from Beaver lake to the Beaver reservoir, in course of construction between Derby and Ansonia.
 Barrett, though tired mentally and physically, decided to inspect the joints in the pipe from the inside Working himself forward on his stom- ach, he succeeded in reaching a point about 300 feet from the opening, where he halted to rest He was in inky darkness, and the pipe. coated with a clammy moisture, was cold. Not a sound from the street above reached him.
 For an hour his workmen waited Tor his return Then, fearing something had happened to him. one of them then started through the pipe. Three hundred feet in the pipe the workman touched the shoes of the unfortunate foreman. Barrett, his clothes twisted and torn, lay unconscious. By a rope attached to his feet he was hauled to the street
 Five minutes later with physician bending over him, Barrett became con- scious, only to leap to his feet and at. tempt to throttle those nearest him. It took eighteen men to restrain the madman.
 There is little hope of his mental re- coyery.

Popular Young Divine Invited
to Toledo, 0.
offered One Of the Largest synA'
gogues in That
Place.
HAS NOT MADE UP HIS MIND

Rabbi David Alexander. of Temple
Israel, has received a most flattering
offer from Toledo. Ohio. He has been
called to the Reformed Synagogue
there, and has a chance to preside
over the largest flock in Toledo, and
the only Reformed congregation
there.
The call came last night, and Rab-
bi Alexander has not had time to
make up his mind what he will do.
He has been in charge of Temple Is
rael for the past two or three years
and from the first made a fine i'm.
preston on the people Of Paducah.
He is a young man who has steadi.
ly risen in the estimation Of members
of all churches who know him, and
the call from a city like Toledo is
only a fitting recognition Of his abil-
ity.
Should Rabbi Alexander decide to
leave. Paducah will doubtless have
the distinction OF repeating her ex-
perience in the case of Rabbi II. G..
Enelow. who was called to Louis
Vile about four years ago.
Rabbi Enelow was for several
years in charge OF Temple Israel here
and his studious work, eloquent and
charming manner won him prompt
recognition elsewhere. and he Is now
rabbi of the largest synagogue in the
state. He Is regarded as one of ths
brainest young men Of the country,
and Rabbi Alexander is a young man
of the same disposition. accomplish
ments and popularity and would
doubtless succeed as his predeces-
sor has done.
Rabbi Alexander stated today that
he had not made up his mind what
to do. He has made many friends In
Paducah, and married one OF Padu-
cabs most charming daughters, Miss
Irene Schwab, daughter Of Mr.. Lee
Schwab. He is naturally very fond
of the city, but may decide that 1t is
to his interest to accept the call re-
ceived last night. He will decide in
a few days.

With a Steam Launch He Sank
Jap Vessel.
The japanese Evidently Though
the Destroyer Struck
Niue.

Chefoo, Nov. 1S.-A Port Arthur
newspaper. the Novikrai, of Nov. IL,
copies of which were brought to Che
foo by the Russian torpedo boat de-
stroyer Rastoropny. prints brief de-
tails Of daring exploit which result
ed in the sinking of four-funnelled
japanese torpedo boat destroyer.
While Japanese torpedo boats and
one destroyer we're engaged in re-
moving mines, mostly their own.
from Tache bay on Nov. 3. Midship-
man Dimitrieff conceived the idea
that he could torpedo the Japanese
boats under cover Of darkness, as the
latter we're very busy and enjoying
fancied security. II was the very
audacity of the plan, the Novikrai
says, that made 1t successful. Secur-
ing a steam launch from the battle
ship Retvisan., one carrying torpedo
tube and accompanied by half doz-
en- volunteers. Dimitrieff, in dense
darkness slipped out Of the harbor
and succeeded in evading the Japa-
nese searchlights.
Circling around the Japanese boats
with the launch moving at top speed,
the midshipman came within striking
distance from the seward side and
launched his projectile. 1t sped
through to the destroyer. There was
a sudden explosion and the destroyer
sank Immediately.
Dimitrieff is hero of the day at
Port Arthur, according to the paper.
