Charges Filed Against Florida Judge.

The house of representatives on
Thursday devoted its entire session
to the discussion of impeachment
charges against Judge Charles
Swayne of the northern district Of
Florida. A dramatic incident occurred
when Mr.. Littlefield (Me.) called on
Mr.. Lamar (Fla), who filed the
charges against the judge, to admit OF
reputation of an alleged interview
which the former claimed tended to
incite the people to commit an act Of
violence against Judge Swayne. Mr..
Lamar admitted giving an interview,
but emphatically denied any sugges-
ton from him that could be construed
into advising assassination or murder.
He said that, although Judge Swayne
was known to be the most lawless
man in Florida, he had remained free
from bodily harm.

Houses Wrecked and Cars Swept From
RaiirOai-ihiiirens wonderful Escape.
SCRANTON. Aug. 3O.-Sweeping out of
the west at lightning speed. and without
moments warning. disastrous cyclone
struck Carbondale, sixteen miles north
of this city, tonight at Q O'Clock and, left
in its wake wide path Of destruction.
Striking the yards Of the Delaware and
Hudson Railroad, it picked box cars and
cabooses from the track and lifting them
in the air carried them for some distance.
Houses and barns were torn from their
foundations and in some instances utterly
destroyed.
In the residence OF William Pope three
children, aged 2, 3 and years, were in bed
when the cyclone struck the house, and
although the editlce was almost reduced
to splinters all three were found to be prac-
tically uninjured.
A huge timber fifteen feet in length was
torn from house in the path of the storm
and carried an eighth of mile. Similar
incidents occurred in the two hundred foot
path of the storm for distance of mile
through the city.
A general fire alarm was sounded, and
because If the prompt work of the fire de-
partment only one blaze occurred. One
of the most remarkable features OF the
storm is the fact that no lives were lost and
few injuries of a serious nature were sus-
tanned.

500 TO EMPLOYEES WHO MARRY
And $50 for Children Born-Cafe Martins
Anti-Race Suicide Oner.

John B. Martin, proprietor of the Cafe
Martin, Broadway and Twenty-sixth street.
came out strong against race suicide yester-
day by causing to be posted about his
establishment signs reading as follows:
ANY employee of the Cafe Martin who
from this date shall get married shall re-
ceive 500. Any employee who is married
already will get $50 at the birth of each
child, provided always that such employee
shall have been in my service for period
of twelve months"
Mr.. Martin says that he hopes his offer
will bear fruit in increasing propagation
of the human species. but insists that he
did not take the idea from President Roose-
velt's doctrine on the subject.
II have recently been in France" he said
last night, "and got the idea there. In that
country discovered that most of the large
business houses gave presents to their
employees who married and to the children
born to them. It's good thing for the
country, but am not adopting the practise
entirely as a philanthropist. 1 simply
believe that get better service from married
employees than from those who remain
single. Many a man, l am sure would
marry If he had little money saved up
and my offer is made to fit such cases"

Hampton, Rye Beach and other neighbor-
ing points that the vibration had been felt.
The earth trembled violently willis the
disturbance lasted, and many people rushed
from their houses into the streets. 1t
was believed at first that an explosion
had occurred at the Portsmouth Navy
Yard, but a telephone message from the
yard showed that this was incorrect.
Curiously enough, the shock was not felt
at the Hotel Wentworth, four miles from
Portsmouth, where the Russians and the
Japanese peace ENJOYS are stopping, and
the first news OF 1t reached that place late
tonight through people from the town.
Col. John H. Bartlett, postmaster at
Portsmouth, said that he experienced the
vibration distinctly. He was returning
to his home when he felt the earth appar-
emily give way under his feet and for a
moment he nearly lost his balance.
Col Bartlett said he asked passersby
il they had felt the shock and learned
that all Of them had.
Accounts disagree as TO the length of
time that the vibration lasted. 1t was
declared by some people tonight that
they felt the earth trembling for twenty
seconds.
Reports received late this evening show
that the shock was distinctly felt within
a radius of twenty miles from Portsmouth.
No explosion is known to have occurred
within this area.

CARGO OF BROILED BANANAS.
Strange Things Befell the Fruiter Bodo.
Which F0uled an Electrical storm.

Wnlcn FOuleO an ELECTRICAL STORM.
When the little Norwegian fruiter Bodo,
in yesterday, was day out from Port
Antonio, Jamaica. on Friday, she ran into
the fercest electrical storm her skipper,
Capt. H. M. Figenschow, ever tried to dodge
thunderbolts in. They were striking all
around the ship for an hour or more, ilumi-
mating the roaring tropical downpour and
finally one of them hit the foremost.
The skipper. who was on the bridge, said
1t felt as If there had been an explosion
aboard. The ship trembled and seemed to
stand still for a moment. The foretopmast
few into hundreds OF splinters and the
lightning melted the steel backstays and,
for fraction Of a second, had everybody
on duty on the steel decks dancing as if on
needles. Boatswain Nelson was knocked
down. He says that he felt the electricity
hit him In the back of the neck, and that it
Is still stiff and sore.
Both OF the ships compasses were put
out OF commission. The needle OF one
pointed east and the other west. A peculiar
smell from the hold prompted the skipper
to investigate. He found that the light
ming in its passage through the steel deck
had broiled many punches Of bananas. 1t
was problem with Capt. Figenschow to
get to New York without compass. He
thought OF the lifeboat compass, a mere
pocket affair, slowed away in oilskin, and
got IT,. out. He was surprised to'.hnd it
was right enough, having been unaffected
by the current that had permeated the
ship.
With the help Of the North Star. which
showed up after the storm passed over,
he had been able to steer fairly good
course. But the next night the stars were
blotted out by another storm and there
after for three days he was unable to get
a glimpse of sun or star. Then he used
the little compass. the lead line and log
and got here safe and sound. During the
last two nights of the voyage he kept awake
on the bridge, fearing that something
might go wrong in the murk

stretched good way out into the ocean.
