Another Fort.

Tha creation of an artificial island in
the middle of the entrance 20 Chesa-
peake Bay is proposed by the jOint beard
on coast defense as an absolute essential
10 the defense of the national capital and
the cities of Baltimore, Norfolk, New
port News and even Richmond. The
daring exploits of the Japanese naval
captains during the recent war has con-
vinced the army engineers that it is no
longer safe to rely upon the defenses OF
Fort Monroe to control the entrance to
the Chesapeake. 1t was held by the
old school of engineers that any war
ships approaching the bay with hostile
intent would be obliged to enter through
the main ship channel, which would
bring them within range of the guns of
Fort Monroe and the Ripraps. But
that channel is five miles wide, and
naval officers on the board have also
declared that a venuresome comman-
der in time of war would not hes
ilate to run vessel of medium draft
through the north channel, beyond the
sweep of tie existing forts on the south
shore of the bay. SO the board has con-
cluded that fortress should be erected
to command the north side of the present
main channel as well as the north chan
mel, and the only proper site for this for
iress would be on what is known as the
Middle Grounds. The water is shoal,
but there is no land above tide, and,
therefore, the government must dump
stone into the bottem OF the bay, as it.
did when it built the Ripraps fort, at
the entrance of Hampton Roads, until a
foundation is secured for the defenses.
The cost of the work will be heavy, but
its advocates contend that it is, after all,
only a bagstelle as compared with the
Insurance afforded to untold millions OF
dollars worth of national and private
property on the shores of the bay or its
tributaries.
Congress has already officially been
made aware of the want, but so far no
provision has been made in any of the
pending appropriation bills for the work,
and the members of the board fear that
they will not be authorized to enter upon
it during the preseut year.

Disorders at Mines.

Tuesday night was one Ofdisorder and
terror at Edna Mine 80. 2, Of the Penn
Gas Coal Company, at Irwin, Pa, where
several hundred men are on strike for
recognition of the union. The strikers
all seem to be armed, and from dark
until daylight continuous fusilade OF
firing was kept up. Fortunately no
one was injured. There was another
clash last night between the guards of
the Penn Gas Coal Company and crowd
of $50, and as result Lieutenant
Rhosdes, OF the guards, was injured. He
was struck on the head with stone.
The coal company Immediately bad more
guards sworn in. The guards have been
patrolling the railroad to keep the strikers
from molestng the men at work. Last
night three men alleged to represent the
railroad company ordered the guards of
the railroad property They were back
ed up by the crowd, and when the
guards refused to move stones were
thrown. The crowd was finally dispers-
ed. Today an injunction restraining the
strikers from interfering with men at
work or destroying property viii be APP
pill for by the coal company.
The Philadelphia and Reading Coal
and Iron Company yesterday received at
its Office in Philadelphia the first re-
ports dealing with disturbances in the
Schuylkill region where the company's
collieries are located. These reports
contained information that miners
train at Minersyille had been partly
destroyed by fire during the night, that
the Burnside breaker at Shamokin had
been STONED by breaker boys, and that a
stick OF dynamite was found beneath the
wheel of a cabin car which stood on a
siding at an ash pit.
There was considerable disorder at the
Fernwocd mine of the Erie Canal CON-
pany at Yatesylle, Pa, yesterday. A
number of Italian miners tried to pre-
vent the pumpmen from going to work,
but detail of the state cOnstabulary
was sent to the scene and soon dispersed
the crowd. Unemployed workmen pre-
vented the operation OF the washery OF
the West End Coal Company at Mocana-
qua. Pickets held up the employees and
told them it would be better if they did
not 20 work, and the men returned to
their homes.
A dispatch from South McAlister,
Indian Territory, says that trouble
has already broken out in the coal
strike and a posse of United States mar
shsls' deputies were sent yesterday to
quel it, The disturbance was at GoweD,
where ieamster hauling coal for the
pumping machinery was waylaid and in
structed to cease work Two shots were
fred by the teamster, who made his way
to the mine Office and telephoned for
help. Marshal Pritchard sent four depu-
ties to reinforce the officers regularly
stationed at Cover.

ALEXANDRIA, VA THURSDAY EVENING APRIL 1906
Train Wrecked.

As was stated in ihe Gazette, the fast
Norfolk and Western "Cannon BALI
express, from Richmond to Norfolk,
struck An open switch at Juniper sid
ing, 10 the Dismal Swsmpa seven, miles
east of Suffolk, at II O'Clock yesterday
morning and was dersiled, injuriDg
twelve people, two perhaps fatally. The
cab OF the engine was thrown more than
twenty feet from its boiler, ard The
engineer was hurled twenty-five feet
fir N his locomotive. There were about
sevenly.fve persons on the train.
MANY lives were saved through the
heroism OF Engineer Noble, who stood
to his post in the face of almost certain
death. He saw the open switch which
caused the disaster in time to reverse
his lever, but he remained at the
throttle While the engine jumped the
ditca, plowed into thick iores; OF pine
trees, becoming dismaolled. The shock
Of the impact with the ties hurled him
through the air twenty-five feet away,
where be was found half buried In mud.
The fireman iumped and fell through
the top Of a torn up tree, which broke
his fall.
The combination baggage and passen-
ger coaches followed to the edge Of the
canal, where they stopped, careen'd
nearly over. A FIRE broke out in the
mail car, but was exlinguished after a
few pouches had been burned. The speed
OF the train through tue swamp was fully
sixty miles an hour.
Engineer Noble had orders giving
him free road from Suffolk to Norfolk.
No one seems to know why the switch
bad been lett open. 1t IL said that 1t
had been left open after a freight,
which passed early in the morning.

The Edison Kinodrome, a large tent
where moving pictures are shown, is
one of the favorite attractions, as the
pictures shown are good, the subjects
new and the program an extensive
one. Instead of running off one reel
of film and yelling. All over" the
operator says, Just a moment ladies
and gentlemen, while we change
reels. About half a dozen pictures
occupying about 20 minutes of time,
are shown. The pictures are clear and
well chosen, and the audience is al
ways satisfied
The Streets of Cairo is not a naugh-
ty show, as the name might imply,
but it is interesting, and will not
shock the fastidiOus. Several other
shows, among them the Fat Girl and
the Little Lady the first Weighing 559
pounds at the tender age of 3 years.
and the latter turning the scales at 20
pounds at the age of p years, the
very thin man who is composed al
most entirely Of bones and a thin We
freak having the face of woman and
the body of a spider. This last is gem
orally conceded to be a clever optical
Illusion, but If any spectator can see
where the fake comes in. he is vel
come to announce it.
The Ferris wheel and the Steeple
chase, the most expensive merry-go-
round machine ever seen in this city,
are usually busy. The Steeplechase is
an English machine, and aside from
being much larger, differs consider
ably from the ordinary merry-go-
round in construction.
Mr.. James Patterson, manager of
the show, IS the busiest man on the
grounds He is supposed to reside in
a red car, but is seldom found there
because he is so busy directing the
performances at the dozen-and-a-half
shows under his management. MT.
Patterson has been in the show bust
ness only a few years. but although
he started light, with nothing but
merry-gc-round and Ferris wheel
concession in 1900, he has added the
newest and best attractions he could
ind, until the show has reached its
present size
Before going into the show bust
ness, Mr.. Patterson was for II years
a railroader and is still a member Of
the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men, Other showmen envy his abiI-
ity to secure quick transportation
from one point to another. and charge
it to his knowledge of rai1roading.
The present company was organic
ed in the winter of 1903, when Mr.. R.
H. Brainerd Joined the partnership.
Mr. Brainerd does not travel with the
show this season, having interests at
