BY WIRELESS TO POLE
To Enable Commander Peary
to Keep In Touch With
Civilization.

New York, Jan. IL AT the New
York navy yard work has begun on a
wireless telegraph station to enable
Commander Robert Il Peary to keep
in touch with civilization during his
next attempt to plant the Stars and
Stripes at the North Pole.
According TO the plans just made
public Commander Peary will erect
wireless stations after he leaves the
Labrador coast, to keep in touch with
the nearest station on the mainland as
he proceeds northward. From there
communication with New York will
be easy. The vessel of the expedition
will he forced to the northern coast
of Grant Land, where the party will
go into winter quarters.
This is only about four hundred and
fifty miles from the pole. Not only
will the wireless stations enable Com
mander Peary TO communicate the re-
suit of his work from day to day and
the condition of the expedition to his
hackers in this country, but he be-
lieves it will sustain the morale of the
party, which always suffers in the
long and monotonous Arctic nights
when there is seldom anything for the
explorers TO do. In many cases the
horrors and monotony of the six
months night have not only caused
serious breaks among the members OF
such parties, but individuals have
been driven temporarily insane.

WOULDRUN THE PLACE
An Intoxicated Man Is Removed
From The Emergency Hos
pita1 By Force.

Miss Carneal, the nurse at the
Emergency Hosuital, had an experience
this morning which has not added to
her respect for those who delight in
imbibing more than they can conven-
iently carry. She has too much nerve
or lack of nerve to be frightened at
her experience, but acted in a very
brave manner.
Shortly before 10 O'Clock man APP
peared at the hospital. His appearance
and actions gave strong indications
that he had been drinking much more
than was good for him. He stated, as
we'll as the condition of his speech
would permit, that he had met with
fall and was in need of medical at
tention.
Miss Oarneal made an examination
and found that the man was suffering
from nothing more serious than per-
verted ideas of the niceties of polite
society and ordered him to leave the
place. He refused to do so and began
TRADE which would have put to
blush the best efforts of Beaconsfeld.
Such was his threatening manner
and SO violent his language that Miss
Carneal felt called upon TO resort to
drastic measures. She telephoned to
the police station and asked that an
officer be detailed to Gomez after the
disturber. This was done and he was
been lodged in the city lookup.

THE ELECTRICAL WONDER.
PLEASING AND INSTRUCT
I'VE DISPLAY.
MIR. Charles B. Orrell Displays His
Skill With Mechanical
DevsrpS

One of the most complete and inter.
esting displays of an electrical nature
ever seen in Annapolis is that at the
home of Mr.. Charles b. OrrelI, West
street.
Fitted up and arranged, though IL
was. for his own pleasure and that of
his family and friends, it is of such
an interesting and mechanical nature
that il is TO be regretted it could not
be displayed in such manner as
would make it possible for all TO see.
In speaking of the display Mr.. Orrell
calls it his Christmas tree, but the
tree, while daintily and mechanically
arranged, is but small feature of
the display.
The tree itself, large and decorated
with all sorts of tree hangings and
lighted with innumerable little elec-
trio globes, occupies a central posi-
tion. Immediately surrounding it are
numbers of houses of various sizes,
horses, wagons, farm equipment. a
squad of soldiers and the general
scenes of a pastoral nature. At one
end of the floor space is a slope built
with a solid rock foundation, on
which are houses, babbling rook of
clear water and small trees. Beneath
this are three tunnels. though which
cars and trains thunder in very realis-
tic style One is an elevated struc-
ture, on which electric cars run at
high speed.
On the ground level, as though fol-
lowing the bed of stream, is double
track steam road, operated by electric
ity on which are run, in opposite di-
rections, freight and a passenger
tram. Outside of this, and on a
slightly higher level, requiring bridges
and oulverts at frequent intervals, is
high speed passenger road with
three coaches and very realistic loco
motive, but operated, as affording the
best applied power, by electricity.
This road is operated on positive
block system with the alternating
lights of red, green and white, ac-
cording to the point at which the train
might be
A samIl station is also shown, at
which an automatic target works,
rising and falling with that precision
so essential to the safe operation of
the road. The scene can be made
either one of night with only the
street and house lights shown and a
full moon in the horizon, or all of the
lights can be turned on to depict q
daylight Scehe.- Il. ell SO lights are
used, the night scene requiring moth
ing stronger than a battery current,
but regular incandescent circuit
being required to make use of all the
mechanical devices and lighting the
scene for daylight. 1t would require
very extended article to tell of the
many details of the pretty scene, as it
is indeed very elaborate aud reflects
great ingenuity and striving after per-
feet effort.

PRICE ONE GENT
A REPLY TO THE MANDAMUS
ALLEGATIONS OF FRAUD
ARE DENIED
Board of Supervisors of Election
Disclaim Any knowledge of
Erased Names.

A reply was filed TO the suit in man.
damus begun by William Henry Will
Jams, Adam Carter, ct al.. against
Frank ). Reyell, Robert l.. Werntz
and Benjamin r.. Davidson. the
Beard of Supervisors of elections.
The suit was filed for the purpose OF
forcing the board to restore the names
Of the plaintiffs TO the registration
books. 1t being alleged that they were
removed by fraud and for the purpose
OF preventing them to exercise their
right Of fanchise.
The answer which was filed this
morning was sworn to by Mr.. Wentz
and presented by Mr.. Ridgely p.
Melvin, attorney for the defendants.
They neither deny or admit the allie.
cations contained in the allegations
OF paragraph /. 2, 3, and of the pc
titlon because of lack of knowledge
or information concerning them. Con-
tinuing, the answer states.
That. answering the averments
OF paragraph the petition. the books
of registration mentioned therein did
not come into the possession of these
respondents until more than fifteen
hours after the close of registration
ON October Is, 1904, and that during
the entire time said books were in
their care and custody. viz. from
10. 30 O'Clock, a. m, October IA, 1904,
until l2 O'Clock, November z, 1904,
they were securely kept in the iron
safe provided for that purpose in the
office of these respondents, and not
once during said period were the reg
istration books for the first precinct
of the Third Election district out OF
their possession or custody.
These respondents, therefore, EN-
phatically deny the allegation of para
graph of the petition that they per-
mitted some person to obtain posses
sion of said registration books during
the period aforesaid and 20 unlawful
ly mutilate the same. On the con
trary, they aver that during said per-
iod no person whatever obtained pos.
session of said books for any purpose
not authorized by law, to the best Of
their knowledge and belief
Further answering said petition
and denying the malefaction alleged
therein, these respondents show that
they have not neglected or refused to
perform any duty or function imposed
upon them and that they have not
done or said anything to indicate an
| intention so TO do.

FIRE AT ST. ANNE'S.
A Chimney Which Was Burning
Out Creates Considerable
Excitement.

Another fire scare attracted q large
number of persons last night. With
the memory of the Chesapeake House
fire fresh in their minds, those who
heard the alarm of fire at S. 30 O'Clock,
were prepared TO witness another con-
fiagration.
Happily any serious damage was
averted, the fire being nothing more
than SCOT burning in the chimney of
st. Anne's Church. The hue of the
church is very small. much smaller
than the size of the furnace used would
warrant, and becoming clogged with
SCOT, il ignited last evening. An
alarm of fire was sounded ty the In
dependent Company and the response
was prompt.
Six minutes after the alarm rang
the company had line of hose on tile
ground coupled to the plug and ready
for business if stream was needed
The Rescue Hose Company was not
very far behind. it having a line of
hose laid in seven minutes after the
alarm was sounded. 1t was not found
necessary to play water on the fire
and the fiaEes were soon extiEguish.
ed. There was plenty of excitement
and the streets were black with people.
When the fire was discovered Mr.
Williams, choirmaster and organist
of St Anne's was engaged in choir
practice. He was summoned TO the
door an told that the church chimney
was on fire. When told that there
was no immediate danger he returned
to the organ and, without letting it
be known that there was fire near
continued with the practice. 1t was
not till choir practice was over that
the members of the choir knew of the
fire
