Fire I'm Richmond

Richmond, Va, Oct. % -WhiIe
crowds were scurryiug to SIC at Tbir-
tenth and Cary street at 1870 o'clock
this morning, they witnessed an explo-
sion of FIRE engine, which for a few
seconds menaced the lives of scores. Just
as the pOnderous apparatus had gotten
to the southwest corner of Thirteenth
and Main streets it went over one of the
of the iron. capped manholes.
In an instant a frighiful explosion ac-
companied by roar like the thunder of
a cannon, followed. The expanse was
enough to lift the huge apparatus az
least three feet. At eleventh and Main
streets, the iron cap of the manhole,
which probably weighs 800 or 400
pounds, was sent 100 feet in the air.
At Twelfth and Main streets the conditions
were precisely the same as at Eleventh At
Fourteenth street the explosion also showed
its strength. Here huge water pipe was
smashed and the cap Of the manhOle hurled
out of position, while the Belgian block
pavement was loosened from the terrestrial
sockets. No lives were lost and no one was
injured

MutinY on Schooner.

New York, Oct. 23.-Following mu-
tiny OF the crew on board the schooner
ida B. Gibson while bound for Norfolk,
lumber laden, and her arrival here, two
men we're shot early today, two men
were stabbed, one man is missing aud
probably murdered, and the schooner is
fast settling and will likely soon be at
the bottom of the East river, where she
is tied. The mutiny on board the Glib
son developed after the vessel ran
through the bar outside of Norfolk early
last week. She stove in her side aud to
keep her from sinking the crew was put
at the pumps. 1t was hard work, and
the men rebelled, but with the free use
of Delaying pins and other handy i'm
PIGMENTS, the captain held the muIineers
in check until the craft tied up in the
East river. Then all hands. with the
exception of the mate and cook, were
discharged by Captain Bradley, and paid
the money due them. Later the dis
charged men became involved in a row
with other men on the street, and took
refuge on the schooner. 1t was here that
the shooting occurred while resisting the
police.

MONDAY EVENING, OCT. %. 1905.

IT WILL take more than official edicts
and Droclamations to overcome the Ell
fects of the Chinese boycott on American
goods, Special Agent Burrill hints in a
report to the Department of Commerce
and Labor. And this in spite of the
weekly reports that the boycott has end
ed. The feeling against American goods
is likely to continue for some time, he
saws. and so far Americans haveevident-
" succeeded in doing little along com
mercial lines to calm the troubled waters.
in this connection he refers to j. Pier
pont Morgan's Canton and Hankow
railroad deal as inspiring anything but
confidence in American methods. Spec
ia Agent Burrill, reporting specifically
OF the opportunities for the introduction
of electricity into the Chinese kingdom,
says:
II would take a competent and ener-
getic American engineer a comparatively
short time to become familiar with the
situation and place himselfin position to
enter a field that requires and unques-
ionably will receive careful Guilt
walton in the near future. 1t would be
necessary, of course, under present con-
ditious. to overcome prejudices and in
spire confidence. The boycott tempo
rariy paralyzed American enterprises in
Cbina, and although it has collapsed
officials, it is impossible to predict, be-
cause of its lar-reaching effects, when
normal conditions will be restored. 1t
has produced feeling of business IN
certainty and timidlty that neither
edicts nor prociamations from Picking
can Immediately dispel, and the unfort-
innate ending Of the Canton and Kankow
Railroad project has filled the Chinese
mind with added suspicion and distrust
of American methods. Notwithstanding
this, however, it is certain that Chinese
authorities would not hesitate to enter
tain a proposition for electrical con-
struction that would be advantageous to
municipality. even though it were
made by representative of an Ameri-
can company"

cross the said chalk mark"

ried to the defendant on December l.,
1903, in Washington, ID. c., and that
she had been a good and faithful wife to

husband broke off matrimonial relations
with her. The complainant says that
Mr.. Annette offered her SO, 900 or would
pay her $25 per month during the rest
of her life if she would leave him. This
offer she rejected. After exhausting all
efforts to reconcile her husband, and
"because of his brutal and Immature!
treatment of her." Mrs. Annette says
she was compelled to leave him on De-
cember IL, 1903. As result of her
husbands treatment the complainant
says she suffered nervous prostratlon and
was very i'll for eighteen months.
Mrs. Ar nette prays the court for ade-
quate maintenance, for reasonable al
torney's fees, and for an injunction re-
straining her husband from dispOsing OF
his personal and real estate until the is

Death of Jerry Simpson.


Wichita, Mo-, Oct. 2S.-Ex-Con-
gresham Jerry Simpson died at 500 a.
~, today, He had been critically i'll
for some time.
Jerry Simpson, the "Sockless Jerry"
who first amused and later was respected
by the national House of Representa-
tives, was the most famous populist that
most unique of political movements in
this county furnished as one of its lead
ers. 'Sockless" he was called probably
because in one his first speeches in south
western Kansar he said; "Look at US
poor people, who do not even have socks
to wear"
Born in New Brunswick in 1912,
Jerry Simpson immigrated to New York
with mis- parents at the age of six. He
spent twenty-three years as sailor on
the Great Lakes, serving brief
period during the civil war. In 1873
he settled near Medicine Lodge, Kss.
When the pOpulistic wave swept Kansas,
be was carried on its forefront. Elect
ed to the Fifty-second Congress as a
populist, he was returned to the Fifty
third as a democrat, and was defeated
next time by Chester |. Long, now Sena-
tor. He defeated Long for the Fifty
fifth Congress, but then Long beat him
and Simpson retired from politics. The
last years OF his life were spent on a
beautiful fruit ranch near Roswell, N.
NJ. As the recognized leader of the
handful of populiSts in the House, Simp
son controlled a lot of time and his
numerous speeches were always atten-
lively heard. He was good friends with
Speaker Reed, who like other able men
in the House respected bis ability. Simp-
con feared no man and would debate
with any. His biting sarcasm, quick
sense of humor and sound common sense
made him a man far above the average
ability of members of Congress. Batting
Mr.. Dingley was Simpsons favorite pas
time. Once Col. "Pete" Hepburn adj
vised the populist to look in the tariff s
experts hat. There "Sockless Jerry"
saw London shop mark. For one
whole day day Simpson rooted Dingley
for preaching the cause Of American
manufacturers and himself buying hats
made in England. Dingley squirmed,
but was for once routed.

Drowning Accidents.

A launch, containing nine men, all OF
Philadelphia, collided with barge in
the Delaware river off Beverly, n. j.,
late yesterday afternoon, resulting in the
drowning of nine persons. Those res
cued are Capt. John Winch, the owner
of the launch; w. F. F. Russell, and j.
Rutherford. The launch was hired by
eight of the men, who lived in the north
eastern part of Philadelphia The elder
Winch took his son along to assist him
in running the boat. The day was
spent near Croydon, on the Pennsyl-
vania side of the river, and the start
home was made late in the afternoon.
Opposite Beverly the launch met the
tug Bristol, in command of Capt. Mott,
which was towing a barge to Borden
town. Whether Capt. Winch saw the
barge is not known; nevertheless, he
attempted to cross the tugs stern. Capt.
Mott hailed him and tried to prevent
him from doing so. Capt. Winch was
standing at the wheel of the launch,
and as he went around the stern the haw-
ser of the tug struck him and knocked
him overheard. Before the captains son
or any other member of the party could
take the wheel to steer the launch clear
of the barge, the latter struck the frail
boat amidships, capsizing it. The launch
rolled under the barge, andils occupants
went with it. Capt. Mott put the tug
about and went to the rescue. He and
his crew threw ropes and lfe-preservers
to the struggling men in the water, but
they were only able TO savethree of them.
Five persons are believed 10 Fave been
drowned by the running down of a cat
boat by tug off South Yonkers yester-
day. Members of the South Hudson
Boat Club heard cries for help out on the
river, and 10 the heavy mist that prevail
Ell were able to make out the outlines of
a capsized sailbOat ard of tug that was
running rapidly down the river. The
cries ceased before the yachtsmen, who
had put out to the rescue in rowbOat,
reached the cattoat, which they found
deserted and with her side stove in. 10
coat aboard the boat they found list
of names which proved to be those of the
party who had gone sailing in the boat.
