many stokers who had escaped from the
building returned to their labors as soon
as the steam had cleared away and in a
few minutes the wheels of the big electric
machinery were again set in motion.
President Sinclair was seated in his of
fee adjoining the plant at the time the ac-
cdent occurred, and was one of the first
to go to the assistance of the men in the
big building. Chief Belt. Deputy Chief
Wagner and Fire Marshal Nicholson ar

the two victims were found.
Separate Reports Ordered.
As soon as he heard the explosion and

Company, and after arriving there he spent
some time looking into conditions. 1t was
by Mr.. Macfarland's order that Fire Mar
shall Nicholson and Chief Engineer william
7. Belt of the fire department and E. f.
Vermilion, inspector OF steam boilers
made separate Investigations of the cause
and effect of the accident. All three off,
cials submitted their reports in the preni-
ises this afternoon.
Mr.. Vermiilion's report was, in part as
follows: Il found a twenty-inch steam
|. main had separated from he connecting
fange at least 191s inches. This fange was
found, from further examination, to be
cracked in five different places thus allow
ing the twenty-inch main to withdraw from
the fange. There was no indication of
leakage. TIE care and management of this
plant IS the best. No one could prevent
the accident. The probable cause of the
accident was the accumulation of water in
steam engineers as a water hammer .

day to determine whether the special con-
gressional election June should be held
under the old law or the new law. The
latter, which requires registration, is ef-
fective May 1S. The conference short
and most agreeable, there not being the
least friction.
1t was felt on both sides that the law
was inviolable and there was nothing to
do but obey it; that no matter what po-
litical committee might determine, the law
was on the statute books and must be
obeyed. Therefore, it was decided without
new law, which requires registration-a de-
parture in West Virginia elections.
Both parties must hustle to get the vote
registered between May Is and June 6, and
it was decided to apply to the commission
ers of the fourteen special registers to reg
lister the voters. The full vote, it Is be-
lieved cannot be gotten out but both par
ties will likely be. equally affected. The
COMMITTEES have preferred the old law, but
the new law interviewed and they had no
other choice.
James S. Lakin, the republican nominee,
and Col. Thomas B. Davis, the democratic
candidate, attended the conference Colonel
Davis said in an interview that he did not
think personal canvass of the district on
his part was necessary. as he was known
by nearly all the people in the several coun-
ties A tour of the district would not in
any great measure increase the acquaint-
ance or in any way help them to make up
their minds how they wanted to vote 1t Is

tel where he spent the night, leaving early
Friday morning. The ambassador was de-
lighted with his treatment here and told M.
Simonpietri that ere long he would make a
second and protracted visit to this city and
spend some time in visiting the points Of
interest hereabouts.
The carpenters of this city are having
disagreements with the contractors, and as
a result the carpenters are preparing to
demand union shops or no work with the
contractors who fail to comply. Already
many carpenters have been called away
by order of the union. and the contractors
have retaliated by signing published
statement in which they agree that they
will not employ a man who leaves the
service of another contractor by order Of
the carpenters union. The demand for
good carpenters is great and there is no
scarcity of work. The contractors say that
they are prepared to meet the struggle, that
the demand really means that the men are
to demand. after June l. eight hours for a
day with the same pay now received. The
men get all the way from s$l.50 to 81 a day.

Il Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence Of The Star
NORFOLK. Va. May 13, 1905
There has been much speculation conse-
Quent upon the report prevalent that the
Seaboard Air Line. or persons acting in
that interest, have been moving lately with
the apparent purpose of securing additional
water front property at Portsmouth.
1t is known that this movement, which
was active at one time while John Skeiton
Williams was president of the road, has
been revived within the past week or so
and those concerned are very eager to
know what the movement means.
1t is known that Leigh r. Watts. Goodrich
Hatton and others affiliated with the Sea-
board own or control something like 81 co.,
between Portsmouth and Swimming Point;
vicinity, and it has been conjectured that
great enlargement Of the roads terminals
Is contemplated.
1t Is understood by the knowing that the
road is likely to bring to Portsmouth at
least SO much coal as it can sell profitably
in the local market, but for this purpose
little additional pier room is required
Some interpret the movement to mean
that the road has formed alliance with
the Rock Island or some other great west
ern railway, and will furnish the Atlantic
coast terminal for exporting the products
gathered by that system. 1t is we'll known
that the Seaboard is very friendly to this
port and is likely to do all it can to build
it up. Certain it is that there is something
doing along the Portsmouth water front.
