The reported intention of w. r.
Hearst to run for mayor on a labor
ticket is causing much concern in
Tammany Hall. Mr.. Hearst's- purpose
not to support Mayor Mcclellan If the
latter be renominated is evidenced by
the attitude of the Hearst papers,
which, with pen and pencil, are al
most daily caricaturing and anathe-
matizing the mayor. What is most
feared is that Mr.. Hearst will make
campaign for mayor on lines SINH
lar TO his fight for the presidential
nomination. He would make things
exa'eGnngly interesting for Tammany
il he should spend a quarter as much
money in his mayoralty campaign as
lie did when a presidential candidate.

Every time the governments big
guns at Sandy Hook are fired the
frame buildings at Lawrence, across
the river. quiver like leaves, though
the distance is 10 miles. Ceilings
have fallen. furnaces. have cracked,
and mirrors, window panes and fish
globes have fallen into fragments as
a result. the owners of the houses
think, of the explosions on the Hook.
This shaking has been going on for a
long time. many years, but 1t has
begun to get worse lately. The big
ger the guns installed the more the
houses culver and rattle. There is
no doubt that the shaking of the
houses is directly traceable to the
governments guns. But whether the
vibration is borne through the air or
by means of rock under the ocean
there is some disagreement. Some of
the residents hold to one theory, some
to the other.

Sensational reports of an alarming
this winter are denied by officers of
Charity Organization society. They
say that they are taking care of about
10 or Is per cent more persons than
they did at this season last year, but
this increase is not due to the fact
that there are more unemployed, but
is because of a considerable increase
this year in pneumonia and kindred
diseases. Altogether, they say, con-
ditions are not to be compared with
those of the winter of 1898.

A MYS STERIOUS !.
DISAPPEARANCE
Little Viob.t Tresedder Be-
lieved to Have Been Drowned
In the Mill Ditch.

Much speculation has been aroused
by the mysterious disappearance OF
Violet Tresedd.r fr I'M her home at
223 River street about 30 O'Clock last
Sunday afternoon, although the gener-
al opinion is that she fell into the mill
ditch, which is but few yards from
the front door, and was drowned in its
lev waters.
1t had been the custom of the miss
ing girl 10 see that the chickens were
fastened up for the night. snd as it be-
gan to grow dark Sunday afternoon she
remarked to her mother that she
would go and lo.k the door of their
roosting place Mrs. Tressedder was
i'll at the time and gave but little heed
TO her daughters words as she had
been in the habit Of leaving the house
whenever there were errands that de-
manded her attention.
Failing TO return in the course of
ten or fifteen minutes messenger was
dispa tched 20 learn what had become
of her as IL was very cold. As no trace
OF her was TO be found an alarm
WAS rung from the bell at the fire de-
partmeBt and crowd of men, women
and children quickly gathered to assist I
in the search for the absent child.
As those within the house heard no
outcry it twas surmised by some OF
them that possibly she had been kid
mapped. although there seems to be no
good reason for such a theory. The
great majority OF these who assembled
in response To the alarm were confident
that she had accidentally fallen into the
mill ditch and had been swept down by
the current before she was able to cry
out for help, and this explanation is
oDe-
Although only n little more than
| five years old Violet Tresedd-r was a
great favorite in the neighborhood
where she lived, due. probably, to the
fact that she WAS unusually vivacious
and in her childish, innocen, way gave
ut,erance to many bright sayings.
The water was turned Oh in the mill
ditch early Monday morning and every
boulder and pool in its bed searched as
possible hiding place for the body,
but in all likelihood il was carried into
the RIVER where It has either become
lodged under the ic or has been
fioased away by the open current
! The lost girl vas the only child of
Mr.. and Mrs. William Tresedder and
the parents are almost distracted in
conseQuenee of the bereavement whith
has befailsn them. They have aban-
doned hope Of ever seeing her alive
and are nov anxious only to recover
the body. which the yare sure il in the
river Mr.. Tre-edder is a miner by
