The new bullet has muzzle velocity
of 200 feet per second, the greatest
ever attained in a service weapon. AT
800 yards it will penetrate white pine
for 80 inches, as against 20 inches for
the old bullet.
Another advantage in the light bullet
is that it lessons the kick of the rifle.
1t weighs l5O grains and is fired with 5.5
grains of smokeless powder The only
serious drawback of the new bullet is
that it is less accurate than that of the
old one, but General Crozier hopes to
remedy this by varying the powder
charge or by making a slight change in
its shape.

A TRAIN SHE GOES
Della Rogers Thus Mangled
Here.
STRUCK BY sEAsoARD TRAIN
Old Negress Well Known About the
City 10 Struck by Passenger Train
Yesterday While Walking on Tracks
Near Passenger Depot

Della Rogers, very old negro wo-
man about town, was struck by Sea-
board passenger train at $40 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon, receiving injuries
which will prove fatal, perhaps, if she
is not dead already.
The accident occurred near the For
rest street crossing as the shoofiy train
was coming in.
The train, in charge of Engineer Hen
ry Horton, was running at slow speed
as it ncared the depot. Without warn
ing, the old negress stepped upon the
track right in front of the train.
The engine pilot caught the old wo-
man and tossed her from the rails. AS
soon as the train could be stopped the
conductor and engineer went back and
examined the body. An inquest was
not deemed necessary.
No blame can possibly be attached
to the road for the accident, from all
statements made by witnesses.

ROCKET IS SHOT IN
ALOTOF COTTON
Warehouse in Americas Was
AblaZe
ON ARRIVAL OF DEPARTMENT
SkyTocket Fell In Council Warehouse
Yard and Started a Blaze Among
Cotton Bales. Fire Extlneulshed
With Small Loss.

Fire among lot of cotton bales
stored in the l.. G. Council warehouse
was started Christmas night by de-
scending skyrocket set off by some
holiday reveler on Lee street, and but
for the effective work of the firemen
might have ragged fiercely.I
The blaze was discovered at Z O'Clock
and the firemen, doubly vigilant on ac-
count of the explosion of fireworks all
over the city at the time, were quickly
upon the scene and busy.
Two lines of hose were laid into the
storage department
The fire was not given time to spread
to any great extent, so quickly was the
department upon the scene, and the
blaze was confined to comparatively
small area. Only EIGHTEEN bales were
singed over or burned, and these not
badly.
The burning bales were quickly ex-
tinguished and then removed to the
street for safety, where they could be
watched during the night. 1t was nee
essary to remove about fifty bales from
the warehouse, though only the mum be1
mentioned were burned.
1t was an exceedingly close call from
a dangerous fire.
It is believed that $3.50 or $500 will
DrohabIy cover the loss althOuph this
cannot be determined until the bales
are picked and repacked. The quick
and effectiye work of the department
in thus handling the fire brought many
merited compliments.
The department has done double duty
during the holidays, having responded
to more than a dozen alarms, while
losses have been light.

TAKES OVERDOSE OF MORPHINE
Dependent Visitor Here Swallows a
Deadly Dose.

A man registering from Rome, and
who has been in the city several days,
swallowed quantity Of morphine yes
terday morning in his room at one of
the hotels. The act was discovered
ere the poison took effect, and physi-
clans summoned to attend the unfortu-
nate soon had the deadly dose pumped
out of his stomach. The man is known
here, and family troubles are ascribed
as the probable reason for his rash act.
The phial, containing ten grains of
morphine, it is said, was purchased at
one of the drugstores here.

horse Explres With Firrn.

Crane Brothers, general merchandise
dealers of New Providence, sold out
to John Peck and, strange to say. the
death of horse is connected with the
transaction. When Crane Brothers
started in business twenty-three years
ago they purchased for use on their
route spirited little Western horse.
On account of it's resemblance to a
variegated piece OF cloth the horse
was soon surnamed Calico by the gro
Gerry mems customers. The horse grew
old with the business and people said:
'There goes Cranes old Calico; Won
der how much longer he's going to
live" When he was asked the same
question, Thomas Crane. who is now
Mayor of the borough, would answer:
"Oh, he'll last as long as the business"
The prophecy made in fun was full
filed, for when negotiations for selling
out the business were completed old
Calico made his last trip. Returning
from delivering an order. the faithful
old beast fell to the ground and died.
1t almost seemed as If the horse knew
that its master had no more use for
him.

Forsake Society to Help Poor.


The Misses May and Evelyn Fisk,
daughters of the late Harvey =. Fisk,
New York banker, have just opened
their country home, near Trenton, as
convalescent hospital for poor children
Of. New York. They have used for the
purpose, Riverbend, fine property adj
joining their own home, and have
equipped 1t with all the requisites of
first-class hospital, including nurses,
q physician and all conveniences and
Improvements known to the medical
fraternity. The place will be main
tanned by the young women as a hos
pital, at which may be cared for the
poor children who are discharged from
city hospitals, but are not well enough
to return to their homes in the tene-
ments. The place is finely situated,
with beautiful scenery and pure air
from the hills of Pennsylvania across
Delaware River. Fresh eggs, milk,
butter and vegetables will be supplied
daily from the Fisk diaries and gar
dens. After the death of their father
and mother the Misses Fisk decided to
give up social life in the city and de-
vote themselves TO something useful.
So they closed their home in New
York and win reside permanently in
the country, managing their extensive
estate. They are not, however, living
as recluses, for they frequently enter
tain house parties Of their friends.
