to have begun in 1879, when the total

A VERY EXCITING MOMENT.
Taste Of Submarine Navigation That
Was Trying to the Nerv-
Gus System.

"What was the most exciting moment
you ever had on board torpedo boat?"
was asked of a sailor who, according to
the Boston Globe, has spent much time
in this sort of craft. - !
Il guess he said, ssit was once, not
long ago, when was in the Mckee. We
had been down to New London and were
on our way back to Newport, under
both boilers. The Mckee is little boat,
only 80 feet long on the waterline, and
her speed is a little short of 20 knots.
i I'VE began to make heavy weather of
it as soon as we got outside the sound,
and the way we pitched into it was eau
ton When of Block island there sud-
denly heaved up before us great wave
like a solid wall of water, and the Nc
Kee. instead of rising to it, plunged right
into it, completely burying her deck un-
der solid green water. Isay completely,
but her stern did stick up above the
surface little-all the rest of her shot
under water It seemed as il she was
bound straight for the bottom at 20
knot speed.
"She hung a moment-it seemed ages
and then, quivering and shaking with
her. tremendous struggle for life, she
slowly poked her nose up into the day
light once more Her nose went up, her
stern went down, and she shot out of
the sea like great fish leaping from the
deep.
{ TT is a marvel that her plates were
not crushed in by the tremendous
strain. Itwas taste of submarine navi-
CATION exceedingly trying to the nerves

WAS A BUSY NIGHT
FOR FUN LOVERS
Much Destruction Wrought by
''CelebratOrs."
Property Moved, Disfgured and De-
stroyed In Many Parts Of
the City.
NO ARRESTS WERE MADE

Paducah last night experienced the
most strenuous "Hallow Fen" on rec
ord. Many Of the young people had their
innocent fun, but many Of the tough,
hoodlum element were afforded an op-
portunity 10 commit many and varied
acts OF vandalism, which they did with
evident ease.
At the city hall before midnight ar.
rived thirty five messages were received
from various parts Of the city complain
ing Of the dcpredation- being committed
in the name OF the well known annivcr.
sary. 1t would have been impossible
for thousand Policemen to have en-.
timely prevented the vandalism, as the
boys went from locality TO locality,
without lingering long in any.
This year, IL seems, many unscruPu-
lous people got in their work. Gates
were carried blocks away and in a few
instances entirely disposed Of, signs
were demolished and carried away, win
dows were broken, horses were turned
loose. harness was cut. property was de-
stroyed, and on several streets scores
OF door latches were smearcd with print
eis' ink and tar, causing great annoy
ancc and injury this morning when bust
ness men opened up.
The police have not been able to ac-
complish much ia the way Of finding the
offenders. lrtause there were 80 many
Of them. Most OF the young people were
only out FOR a good time, and restricted
themselves to legitimate amusement, but
"a few others seem 10 have caused all
the trouble and destruction to property.
In some localities the streets were
entirely blocked by buggies, boxes, signs
and fences which were torn down. moved
and piled in heaps in the public high
pays Down on Second street. many
boxcg Of rice, Aour. soda and other stuff
left in front Of Liyingston's old stand,
were broken open and part of their con
tents scattered.
Near the market it looked for a time
a. II every buggy and wagon in town
had been piled in the middle OF the
street. and II Il was as much trouble to
get them out OF the way as IL was TO
put them there, there must have been
little fun in il for the boys who did IT,
Scores OF people were fighting mad,
those who couldn't find THEN
gates. or whose property was ruined or
turned loose and driven away as sew
cral horses were. The police did all pos
sible to afford the people relief, but came
to the conclusion long ago that ON Hal
low Zen night about the only way to
protect property is for everybody to
keep watch over his own. II there were
policemen ON every block the miscrcants
would still manage to do a great deal Of
damage.
II is likely that there will be num-
her Of prosecutions il some of last
nights offenders arc ever found out. IL
will take long time for many Of the
victims to get in a good humor.

of the Great Falls and Old Dominion
Railroad which cOntemplates running
through the District from the Aqueduct
bridge to the Navy Yard bridge and

It is said that as soon as the Cid Domln-
ION railroad completes its lines to Great
Falls. engineers are to be put to work to
extend the lines as far into Virginia as
Winchester, and probably farther. The
Old Dominion is in possession of the
last "blanket franchise" issued by the
Virginia Legislature. Under this the
comp ny can build in all parts of Vir-
ginia, running lines from Washington to
Norfolk or South to the Carolinas.

tension of its line from West End (Falls
church, towards Vienna, and it is said
the company purposes to extend 1t as FAR
