Russian Cruiser Sighted

Winnipeg, Man., Sept. l6.-The news
that the Russian auxiliary cruiser Korea
had been sighted of the northern coast
of Vancouver Island caused considerable
excitement at Esquimault, B. c.. the
headquarters of the British Pacific feer,
this morning. The Korea is a larger
vessel than the Lena, which is in the
harbor of San Francisco. The Brit
ish cruiser Grafton went into the dry
dock this morning to be cleaned. Work
has been ordered rushed on the vessel so
that she will be out of the dry dock in
"a hours. The other warships have
steam up. 1t is reported that scout ships
are to be sent out to search for the Rus
sian warship, but so long as the latter
remains outside of the three mile limit
she has a perfect right to cruise wher-
ever her commander may desire.
Victoria, B. c., Sept. 16.-The naval au-
thorities now absolutely deny any knowledge
of the Russian ship. Korea having been seen.
and think there is no foundation for the story.

Dissatisfied Trninmen.

Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. 16.-It is a
possibility that the entire system of the
Pennsylvania lines west will be affected
by the stand taken by members of the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen. At
first only employees of the Fort Wayne
line filled grievances, but it is learned
that the men employed on the Pan
Handle and Vandalia divisions are con-
sidering the ACCESSIBILITY of acting jointly
with the northwest workmen. The
grievance committee will meet tomorrow
aud receive reports from locals that
have already voted on the strike propo-
sition. Should the result favor a strike,
circulars are to be issued To the locals
on the southwest system, asking for a
similar vote. The members of the
union are not 80 determined to secure
an advance in wages ashley are to force
recognition of their union. The Brother
hood is confident of securing the sup
port Of the switchmen's union should a
cessation Of work be necessary. The
officials of the company claim the al
legged grievance is not general but that
a few disgruntled members are back Of
the plan to cause trouble with the COM
pany. This will be proven when the
vote is counted

A Terrible Accident.

Rochester, N. Y, Sept. 16.-While
Miss Laura Stewart, aged Is, was at
work this morning, at the Yawman and
Erbe factory, her hair became entangled
in a rapidly moving shaft. In second
she was lifted bodily from the floor and
whirled around in the air. As her body
struck the floor after the first revolution,
her hair and entire scalp was torn from
her head, and the girl lay motionless,
blood pouring from the horrible wound.
The scalp was held to the shafting and
continued to revoye until the ma
chinery was stopped. Miss Stewart was
removed to a hospital, in an unconscious
condition. 1t was said there that there
was little if any hope for her recovery.

Parker epitomized in few words his
views as follows: "The outlook is good.

every detail of the campaign. The
need of money was discussed, and it

Pullman employees are members of
unions. The plant has been operated on
the open-shop basis, however, ever since
the 1894 strike, when the union cause
was defeated. Unionscale wages have
been paid by the company, and there
has been complete satisfaction on this
score. Complaints were made by the
company, it is said, that high wages
brought about the closing of the works,
inasmuch as these wages were claimed
to be in excess of the scales in effect in
others plants of the country.

FRIDAY EVENING. SEPT. 10. 1904.

THE STARTLING assertion is made
that one person in every $50 in Chicago
is insane and that one person in every
fveis predisposed to insanity. This is
adyerred in the report Of Dr. V. II.
Podstata, superintendent of the big
Cunning Insane Asylum. DR.. James
P. Lynch, DR.. Oscar H. King, Judge
Grin Carter and many other prominent
authorities upon the subject, men who
have studied the subject scientifically
for years, state that insanity has IN
creased in Chicago rapidly in the last
ten years. 1t has, they say, increased all
over the world, but more rapidly IN
Chicago than elsewhere. The percent
ace of insanity to 1000, 900 inhabi'
tants has quadrupled in fifty years. Eat
the present rate of the development OF
insanity. according to the worlds sta
tistics," says DR.. James ?. Lynch,
"and with present conditions of work
and living unaltered, half OF the civil
lied world will be more or less insane
500 years from now. And in another
200 wears from that time, under the
same conditions, most of the Caucasian
race will be mentally deranged and CIV
ization wiped off the face of the eartn
nv the multitudes of Cloths and vandals
of Asia" There is one source OF satis-
faction in all this-it will be seven
hundred years before this forecast will be
fulfilled; hence the present generation
need experience no undue apprehension.

THURSDAYS Storm.

The storm that set in on "Wednesday
night on the South Atlantic coast caused
an immense amount of damage all along
the coast before it finally switched off
into the ocean by way of the Canadian
maritime provinces.
Shipping especially suffered, and re-
ports of wrecked and stranded vessels, e.
pecially smaller craft, have come from
all points along the Atlantic seaboard.
AT the Delaware Breakwater. where
the wind reached a velocity of 100 miles
an hour early Thursday morning, the
destruction was most severe. All the
sailing vessels there, and there were
quite number of craft of all kinds.
were damaged more or less severely.
Many went aground. The schooner +.
@. Allen was completely wrecked and
one of her crew was drowned.
The fishing smack Grey Eagle, of
Charleston, s. c., lost her rudder while
being towed by the Clyde Line steamer
Huron off the Charleston lightship, and
went down. Three of the crew were
saved, but the other FIVE persisted.
Shipping in the New York harbor
also caught the full force of the storm.
although, having been warned, all craft
had sought the most secure berths pos
sible. In that city elevated aud surface
traffic was, during the early hours Of
the morning, partially demoralized; cel-
lars were flooded, and an immense
amount of damage was done to property
of various kinds.
The commanding officer of the United
States monitor Florida reported at Nor
folk that on bis way up the coast he had
sighted ii wrecks of large and small
vessels, where crews had either been
taken off or we're lost
The vessels of the United States North
Atlantic training squadron caught the
full force of the gale off Newport, amt
were obliged to let go all anchors.
The wide extent and general damage
of Wednesday nights storm only became
known yesterday with the restoration of
the telegraph wires that were blown
down in many places in Virginia. The
storm, which was heavier on the coast,
extended with destructive force to the
foot hills and from every direction comes
reports of the less of tobacco barns with
crops in them destroyed by wind and
rain. The damage to the corn crop is
immense, as it was laid fat and the ears
beaten into the dust by the heavy rain.
No loss of life is reported. The people
of Richmond are regretful at the fall of
a row of naples on Franklin street that
had been temporarily weakened by street
improvement. The storm has entirely
freed the city of an awful and unusual
pest of mosquitoes caused by the many
stagnant pools in the river made by the
long drought. The James river is now
full and both the pest and the cause
gone.
The steamer Brandon, bound from
Norfolk for Richmond, was caught by
the storm Wednesday night off the
mouth of the Appomattox and anchored,
but her anchor dragged, and she was
blown on the mud fats hard and fast.
The Brandon's 26 passengers came on to
Richmond by rail yesterday morning
from City Point. The Brandon was
subsequently foated.

THE ECHOES of last Wednesday night 5
storm are now being heard. Like all
such commissions, death was in the wake
of the tempest, aud number of lives
were lost during its prevalence. The
Atlantic coast was strewn with wrecks,
while on land crops have been seriously
damaged. houses demolished and gen.
eral havoc caused. The vernal and
autumnal equinoxes almost invariably
bring such disturbances, and each year
many lives are snuffed out by powers
elemental at the advent of spring and
fall

Supposed Murdered Man Alive.

Henry Godney, OCCUPYING a cell in
murders row in the Princess Anne coun-
ty Jail, shouted with joy when his wife,
from Norfolk, visited the Jail and told
him that A. Ham. for whose murder he
WAS sent on to the grand jury, is yet
alive, and, following a mysterious recov-
cry, has returned to work for the Chesa-
peake Transit and Norfolk and Southern
lines, Kempsville, in Princess Anne.
Thank GodP' shouted Godney; 'then
l will not be hanged now" Godney and
Ham worked together in q log camp near
Kempsville. A few days following the
Sattlethight tragedy in Princess Anne
the two men had trouble, and the next
day, it is charged, Godney waylaid Ham,
shooting the latter through the lungs.
1t was thought that the man had been
killed when Gorney was caught. Magi-
strate Fentress said he would have to
continue the preliminary hearing for
witnesses. Godney said that was useless.
and confessed at once to having shot Ham.

satisfied if he could stop after working
