At last one of the moose, the chal-

ANOTHER BATTLESHIp
Likely to BE Added to American Fleet
in Asiatic Waters.

Washington, d. c., juno 16.-It is
probable another first class battleship
will be added to the American fleet in
Asiatic waters. A recommendation to
that effect has been made to Secretary
Morton by the general board of the
navy and the navy war college. Ad-
miral Dewey is the head of the general
board. There is no apprehension of
war with Japan because of the Philip
pines, but the suggestion is made that
for reasons of policy the American
naval force in the Orient should be in
creased and made more nearly equal to
that of Japan.
The battleships Iowa, Wisconsin and
Oregon are now in the Asiatic fleet, and
the additional one will be sent from
Admiral Evans squadron of eight at
New York.
Secretary Morton has indicated that
the vessel will be sent as recommended
although there is some objection to the
proposition, as Admiral Evans double
formation would be broken by the
change.

at Akron to one year in the peniten-

ceived letter from Madison T. Mad.
oc, M. D., Hewitt, Ala, asking for the
privilege Of making her acquaintance,
and setting forth his own accomplish
ments. Madoc, however, has a rival
prisoner in the county Jail, Henry
Deifendorf Of Cuyahoga Falls. who has
announced his desire to marry the
woman and asks to be sentenced to
the penitentiary so that he can be
with her.
The Shirley woman claims the dis
tinction of having been wounded in
the Spanish-American war when nurs-
ing soldiers as Red Cross nurse, and
her difficulties at present have
brought number of endearing let
ters to her. She has had notable
career and freely promises that when
she is liberated she will mend her
ways.
Mrs. Shirley has decided to spurn
the offers of both DR.. Madoc and DEF
endorf, as she has troubles of her
own, she says, that engage. her at
tention. She shows much attention,
however to Deifendorf, who was sent
to Jail on a charge of burglary and
larceny, and he says that he would
willingly go to the penitentiary for
year to be with her. but he hopes for
sentence of only one year, 30 that
he may be released when she Is.

RACE TRACK STABLES
At Indiana, Pa.-Fifteen Burned to
the Ground-Hard Work to
Rescue Horses.

Johnstown, Pa, June 1S.-Lightning
today struck the stables at the race
track in Indiana, and 10 of them were
burned to the ground. A heavy thun-
oerstorm passed over the town this af-
ternoon and the lightning was very
vivid. One bolt of unusual brilliancy
was seen, and in a minute or two
flames were leaping from the stables at
the fair grounds. Before the flames
could be gotten out Is of the stables
were burned to the ground The loss
will be about $4,000. A team of horses
standing at the stables was struck by
the bolt of lightning and both were
Killed. They were valuable animals,
belonging to James Jackson. a local
frayman.
Only two race horses we're in the sta
bles, and the men in charge had diff
Guilty in getting them out, as the ami
malls were stunned by the bolt, and the
men themselves were shocked. The
fact that they were at the extreme end
o. the row of stables alone prevented
them from being cremated.

road last evening at 5:55 o'clock about
one and quarter miles this side of
Patapsco station, and twenty-five
miles from Baltimore has been brought
by subsequent deaths from injuries,
up to "a, all employees of the railroad.
Nearly every member Of the two train
crews was killed or fatally hurt and
the balance of the names on the death
list are made up of wrecking hands,
who were on their way home after
having worked three days to ciear
the road and repair the track near
Mount Hope, few miles outside the
city, which was badly torn up by q
crash last Wednesday. One of them
John Sitlay, died shortly after being
received at the city hospital, and sew
eral others may not recover. The
body of an unknown man who breath
ed his last while the relief train was
on the way to Baltimore was taken to
the morgue.
The collision demoralized the entire
train schedule on the road for the
time being, and passengers had to be
transferred across the break in the
line, one train taking them to the
scene of the wreck, and another on
the other side enabling them to con
tinue their journey. BY this after
noon, however the track had been
sufficiently cleared to admit of the
dispatching of through trains.

EPILEPSY
AS Defense in Murder Case May Prove
Futile,

Futile.
Allentown, Pa, June 16.-At the
trial of James H. Wilson for the
murder of John p Ebert, expert medi-
cal testimony was introduced by the
defense to the effect that the prisoner
was an epileptic and that his several
confessions of the crime were all hal
lucinations. The prosecution will com
bat this theory and will call a number
OF doctors in rebuttal in substantiation
of their claims that Wilson is sham
ming when he suffers his alleged at
tacks of epileptic fits, and which, it is
declared, never occurred until more
than a month after his arrest for the
Ebert murder.
Wilson had one of these spells late
last night, and when the prison physi-
clan resorted to drastic methods the
prisoner quickly revived.
