TUESDAY EVENING. MAR. Is. 1905.

Mrs. CASSIE l.. CHADWICK was yes
terdsy sentenced in Cleveland, Ohio, to
serve ten wears in the penitentiary Tor a
series of wholesale frauds and deceptions
which have enabled her to be clothed IN
nurple and fine linen and to fare sumplu-
ously for long time. But the ehd mas
come, and instead of palatlal surround
ines with everything to please the taste
and appeal to the appetite, she now
has a cot in the city Jail. The career OF
this woman affords the basis for an IN
teresting romance. Her history is fresh
before the world and it is generally con-
conceded that for b)ldness and an-
dacity Mrs. Chadwick has had no
equal. Impecunious but with a NOR
bid desire to initiate the opulent, she
rode upon the crest of wave
which sooner or late was TO cast her into
the trough Of sea of troubles. She had
evidently anticipated the termination OIL
her career and had made every prepare
ton to face the inevitable, but notwlth-
standing herown acumen aud that OF her
legal talent, she is in the meshes OF the
law and, so tar as can now seen, there
is no mode of egress, althcugh the woman
intends to appeal 10 the court OF highest
resort. The case Of Mrs. Chadwick has
its lesson for ALL The great majority
OF mankind sigh for positions in life to
which they are not called, and unforlu-
nately many will resort to anything short
of felony in order to bask in the lap OF
luxury. Some. however, pass from one
act to another until they imbrue their
hands in crime that they may ape the
rich. How much better ifall such would
content themselves with food and raiment
and Herewith be content

St. Petersburg, March 2S.-The great

cate that the japanese are engaged in

Panic In a Factory.

New York, March 28.-A cry of fire
caused a serious panic among 400 girls
and men employed in the building &C.
cupied by Max Roth, dealer in Indies
waists and millinery, at Nos. AZ 90
Walker street, this morning. A num-
Der of girls were injured, but only four
of them badly enough to be removed to
hospital. All the men, it is said,
escaped without scratch, their superior
strength enabling them to brush the
girls aside or jump over their heads
That no one was killed is considered
miraculous. Every one of the girls has
bruises or scratches on the face or body.

Startling Confession.

New York, March 28.-Gessler Ros.
seau, the dynamiter, believes that in all
probability it was one OF bis internal
machines that sent the United States
battleship Maine to the bottom of the
sea in Havana harbor. This startling
confession was made today by Rousseau
as he sat in the Tombs prison awaiting
sentence for having seut box of dyna-
mite to the Cunard liner Umbria, just
before she sailed two years ago. Rons-
seau said he had often thought Of the
destruction of the Maine with horror,
but was happy in The thought that it
brought about the freeing of Cuba from
the Spanish yoke. Rousseau said:
"When the revolutionists were trying
to overcome the rule of Weyler, 1 went
south to jacksonville. hoping that 1
might be able to assist those who were
making the fight to free the island. |

had engaged the destroyer, a small yes-
sci, for an expedition to Caba. | bad at
the time two exploding machines OF
tremendous power. told the filibusterers
tSat they might use my machines TO des-
troy the Spanish warships in the harbor.
They agreed and had hoped togo along
with them to assist ia the work. They
dissuaded me, urging that | would DO OF
greater use in Jacksonville preparing
other machines. That was late in the
fall of 1897. The next spring the
Maine was destroyed. Only one of the
men in the secret of the machines ever
returned. He told me that mistake
had been made and that the man who
had been instructed to blow up Allonso's
warship had blown up the Maine by
mistake. The man, when he discovered
his mistake, was informed, committed
suicide" Rousseau said be was not an
anarchist or nihilist. Speaking of his
attempt to blow up the statue Of Freder-
lex the Great in Washington, he said he
did not want to see statue of king in
this country.

Des,itution in spain.

Madrid March 2S.-The inability of
thousands of workmen in the Andalusian
and eastern provinces to obtain food has
been responsible for considerable riot
ing.in those districts, and fears are en-
tertained that more serious trouble will
result. The prolonged drought has
wrought havoc with agriculture in the
provinces affected, and enormous damage
has been done. 1t is estimated that
nearly 900, 900 workmen are without
food. Driven to desperation, by the
dread of starvation, the workmen have
threatened to fire the villas. Rioting
has occurred In some localities and starv-
ing workmen have taken to pillaging the
farm houses. The police are unable to
handle the situation efficiently, and
greater disorders are feared.

Bloodshed Feared.

The crucial moment in the big Anal
gamated Association strike at the Whit
aker Glessner Mills at Wheeling, w.
Va, seems to have arrived. Twelve
hundred workmen are out and more of
them are standing pickets about the
Wheeling plants of the company to pre-
vent men entering. The company has
boarded up the mills and is endeayoring
TO get men into them from Bellwood,
where a carload of rike.breakers from
Vandergnft, Pa, was landed late yes
terday afternoon. The newcomers were
anxlously awaited, but no attempt to
run their car openly into the mills was
made. Pickets remained on duty last
night. Ii is feared bloodshed cannot
be ayerted. The strikers are all armed
and have been searching trains for new
men. The company refuses to recognize
the union.

ing influence in force to depress was the
settlement in London which disclosed the
fact that bull commitments were larger

was started on large scale there as soon

menced. A report was current among
some of the smaller traders that Lon

in st. Petersburg, but the more impor-
tant foreign houses assert that the sell
ing was due wholly 10 the developments
in the London market and was not
influenced in any way by adyices from

The RESUMPTION of the ferry line be-
tween this city and Washington now
seems to be an assured fact, and the re-
opening of the route is believed to be q
matter of q short time. The facts in
connection with the resumption OF the
ferry have from time to time been pub
lished in the Gazette, and everything in
connection with the movement is crystal
izing fast. The new company is COM
posed of practical and enterprising busI-
ness men, some of whom have successful
ly managed the Norfolk and Washing
ton steamboat line during the past four
teen years. They are adeptsi in the busl-
ness, aud the steamers the new company
are to place upon the route will, it is said,
be unsurpassed in comfort and speed by
any ferry boats in the country. The OPP
Grafton of such a line will draw many
patrons, and the certainty of the trans
portation that will be afforded cannot
fail to increase its patronage daily. Be-
side all this, the mercantile community
will be spared the trouble, loss OF time
and expense of sending goods over the
road to Washington in wagons.

A Temnestuous voyage.

After one of the stOrmiest voyages in
her career. the Hamburger American
Liner Pretoria arrived at New York yes
terday, from Hamburg, which port she
left on March II. One seaman was
washed overheard, and lost and there
were three births in the steerage. The
worst gale was experienced on the night
of March IA, when the Pretoria was
but short distance outside OF the
English channel. The wind was south
west and soon increased in violence
until it blew with hurricane force The
steamer vas headed into the winds eye,
but Captain Schroeder found it impossi-
BILE to maintain her in that position.
Finally. she fell of broadside to the
wind. and the Utmost power Of both
engines could not bring her up to the
wind. The gale was so gUsty aud violent
that it hattened the top Of the sea end
filled the air with flying spray, striking
the starboard side Of the ship with great
pressure. A lifehoat was swung cupboard
from davits just abalt the bridge and
dashed down to the rail- The wind
shook this liieboat clear Of the lashings,
il from one end like a pendulum
finally giving it momentum. enough to
swing it clear around in circles, landing
it upon the bridge where it remained
pierced by two awning stanchions. A
seaman, trying 10 secure the boat, was
blown overheard and drowned. Some
idea Of the rolling and pitching of the
Pretoria can be had from the fact that a
safe weighing two tons and heavily
boted in the purser's room was shifted
from its bed.

red cases of smallpox developed at
Mount Union, Huntington county, a

nounced the cases smallpox and has
quarantined all the houses. The dis
