Long, a newsboy running on the Louis
willie and Nashville train between Annis-
ton and Birmingham created quite a dis
turbance after the train left Birmingham
this afternoon. He was under the influ-
ence of whisky and proceeded to smash
the glass doors and several of the win
dows with his fist just before the train
reached Altoona and the conductors pa
thence becoming exhausted. he was carried

Lumpkin of Altoona an employee of the

at Altoona, in drunken frenzy fired
three shots at a carriage containing three
travelling men and the driver of the car
riage, b. n Reavis as it was leaving the
Louisville and Nashville station about 10
o'clock this morning. The bullets came
within two feet of the carriage and that
no one was shot is due to a miracle. After
firing the shots the man fled to the woods

was given by. Lumpkin for the rash act.
1t is believed the man feigned intoxica-
ton after arrest and that the object of

Synopsis of Preceding Chapters

CIR NIGEL" is a romantic tale of the loves and
y adventures of Nigel Loring, young English
man of heroic ancestry who took up the sword to
mend the fallen fortunes of his noble house the wear
after the great plague devastated England in the
fourteenth century.
Nigel and his grandmother are the sole survivors
of the family, and the Cstercan monks OF Waverley
Abbey engaged in preying upon their meager
possessions Young Nigel openly opposes them
The monks, in satisfaction OF claim have taken
possession of fiery untamed yellow horse of noted
lineage, and several of their number have been
yiGiously attacked and nearly killed by the animal
Believing the horse to be possessed of devil, the
monks are about to have him killed when Nigel
interposes. The horse is given to him, partly in
the hope that the beast will kill him and rid their
community of its most rebellious, troublesome
and dangerous opponent. But Nigel at once
takes the horse and IN the presence of the aston
ished monks speedily reduces him to submission
He names the animal Pommers.
Nigel Is forclbly taken prisoner to Waverley
Abbey, to be tried because he has thrown the
summoner into a morass and DESTROYED some
legal papers that were being served He is
sentenced to bread and water for six weeks with
daily exhortation from the chaplain. The
indignant Squire defies the guards. Just as he is
about to be shot down he Is joined in his retreat
by Samkin Awkward bowman. As the conflict
is about to begin, Sir John Chandos, one of the
most valiant knights of King Edward, arrives i'll

festivities.
The royal train draws near to the Loring mansion
but is halted near the river by Chandos, who
points to an armored, mounted figure the
bridge as he promises the King and knights some
sport.

FAVOR WEST SIDE SUBWAY.
Commissioner Approve the Lines to Run
Tn Seventh and Eighth Avenues.

The report Of the three commissioner
appointed to inquire into the advisability
of building a new subway from Battery
Park to run up seventh and Eighth ave
nues in two sections, was filed yesterday
with the Appellate Division OF the Supreme
Court.
The commissioners, Randolph Guggen-
beimer, P. A. Whitney and X. h. Moffatt,
say that the road should be. constructed
according to the plans filed, and that the
expense will be $40, TAP 500 for construction
and about SIS, 600 600 for equipment. The
subway will start at Battery Park, running
up Greenwich street, and West Broadway
to Chambers street, where two separate.
sections will begin, one to &c up Seventh
and the other up Eighth avenue.
The new subway will be wider and higher
than the present one; the entrances will
be, no far as possible, on private property;
the stations will be longer, and the CON-
struetion work is to be lone all under cover.
except in outlying districts. A continuous
concrete wall Is to separate the north and
will take about four years.
In their report the commissioners touch
on the sanitary conditions OF the present
subway, which they investigated. They find
that the underground temperature IL always
higher than that of the open air, that there
are more dangerous bacteria below than
above, and that the pneumococcus, which
is the supposed conveyer of the common
form OF pneumonia, retains its virulence for
twenty-three days in subway sputum,
though It loses all power after four hour
exposure to sunlight.
The commissioners also find that the un-
pleasant ordor Of the subway Is due to the
use of oils made Of fish and petroleum pro-
ducts, and to the character Of the concrete,
paint and cement hat were used in the
construction, The subway dust is attributed
TO the grinding up OF brake shoes. by. which
particles of iron dust are held together by
the presence Of vnporiaed oil. The dust
is thus made to stick to clothes, and stains
light colored fabrics.
There are no specific suggestions for the
ventilation of the subway, except a recon-
report will come up for confirmation within
Q few days.
