MADE GRAVE TOO SMALL.
Sexton Makes Mistake When Work
ing for Himself

LEBANON, Pa, December 29.-Although
the late Benjamin Bleistein of this city
dug an almost countless number of graves
during the many years in which he fol-
lowed the business here, he never made a
more serious blunder than in preparing
his own.
His body was inferred this morning in a
grave made by his own hands, according
to his own ideas, the Bleistein plot in
the Moravian cemetery, Hebron. Bleistein
completed his grave some months ago..
He selected a narrow strip of ground be-
tween two other occupied graves the
plot and lined it out in cement. When
the undertaken took measurements CT the
corpse and grave he was confronted with
Bleistein's error. The measurements dis
closed the grave to be scarcely large
enough to permit of the body being low
cred into it.
Therefore, the coffin had to be specially
made and the customary rough box dis
pensed with. Bleistein had taken true
measurement of his own body in digging
the grave, allowing nothing for coffin and
rough box.

TALKED WITH WHISKY MEN.
Secretary Wilson and DR.. Wiley In
spect Distilleries.

BALTIMORE, December 23-Secretary Of
Agriculture Wilson, DR.. II. w. Wiley, chief
of the bureau of chemistry of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, and Mr.. George F. Nc
Cabe law officer of the department, made a
short visit yesterday to inspect the Balti-
more distlleries.
While here in the home of famous Balti-
more rye they visited the Monticello dis
tillery on Holiday street; the Federal dis
tillery at Colgate, Baltimore county, and
the warehouses of William Lanahan &
Sons, Light street near German.
The visit made in order that Secre-
tary Wilson could see how whisky is made
in Baltimore and what regulations of the
pure food law, which becomes operative
January l, can best be made. The Secre-
tary desires to know the exact conditions
of the manufacture of articles coming with
in the scope of the law before regulating
them and fixing labels.
The visitors arrived at union station in
the forenoon, and entering carriage drove
to the Monticello distillery Mr. Jacob B.
Calm, president of the company, who had
been apprised of their coming, met the Sec
rotary and his associates in the office.
Col. William A. Boykin of Ulman, Boy
kin & Co., and president of the Distillers
and Wholesale Liquor Dealers Association,
was present, and accompanied them on their
tour of the establishment.
Everything was inspected and the Secre-
tary was given ample opportunity to learn
how whisky is made. The inspection began
with the grain. Then followed the fermen-
tation house, still house and so on, until
Mr.. Wilson had seen Monticello whisky
from the time the grain entered the fer
mentation watts until it is finished and bot
tied.
After everything had been seen, Mr.. Calm
and Col. Boy6in took the visitors to the
Lanahan warehouses, on Light street.
There MIR. Samuel j. Lanahan, senior MEM
Der of the firm. met them and showed them
how Hunter whisky is blended. The Secre-
tary, DR.. Wiley and Mr.. McCabe carefully
noted the process. They were then taken
to luncheon at the Merchants Club by Mr..
Calm, after which Mr.. Lanahan started
with them to the Federal distillery, at Col
gate station. They went on one of the
Sparrows Point trains.
The walk from the railroad station to the
distilery led through some thick mud of
that yellow, tenacious-clinging variety pc
culiar to the environs of Highlandtown.
The Washington visitors took plenty Of it
home with them.
Mr.. Otto Luyties, manager of the Federal
plant, showed the party everything about
the establishment. First the gin house.
where the gin produced by the company is
made, was visited and next the rye whisky
plant. There, too, they observer the whisky
in all stages of manufacture.
The visitors returned to Washington in
the afternoon, taking a train from. union
station.

NAVAL ACADEMY WORK.
New Administration Building Near.
ing Completion.


Special Dispatch to The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, December 29.-The Admin
istration building at the Naval Academy is
practically completed and the work of
moving into it will be begun in a few
weeks. The offices have been temporarily
located in the old Seamanship building,
which will shortly be torn down.
The new building will contain suite of
Offices for the superintendent, his aid and
the clerical force, offices for the superin-
tendent of grounds and buildings, a room
for the meetings of the academic board
and special room for courts-martial,
something which has not existed at the
Academy previously. The Academy print
ing office will be in the basement The
building is situated fronting on what has
been known as Blake row and is near the
new chapel 1t is very convenient to the
main gate, which opens into Maryland
avenue, Annapolis.
The work planned for the winter will
consist of sthe tearing down of old and
temporary buildings and grading and paw
ing to adapt the grounds to the new
groups of buildings. This will be carried
on whenever the weather permits and the
Academy is likely to present a very differ
ent appearance with the opening of spring.
The large frame building which is almost
directly in the center of the Academy
grounds, and which has been used mid
shipments quarters and recitation hall, is
now almost completely demolished Its re-
moval will open up a large section of the
Academy campus and greatly improve the
appearance of the grounds.
The exterior of the chapel, the archi.
tectural crown, of the whole group of
buildings has been completed and the scat
folding removed, but much work remains
to be done In the interior. The whole in
terror of the chapel is plastered with caen
stone,

MRS. HAU SEEKS DOWRY.
Lawyers Unable to Trace Money
Given to Alleged Murderer.

LONDON, December 29.-Karl Hau of
the George Washington University, Wash
ington, d. c., who has been eXtradited to
Germany on the charge of numbering his
mother-in-law, Frau Molitor, at Baden
Baden on November 5, has been inmate
of the infirmary at Brixton prison since his
committal for eXtradition, but his condi-
ton does not cause alarm and the doctors
believe he will be able to leave for Ger
many on January 5. He will be accom-
panied by two Scotland Yard men. This
unusua | precaution is taken to guard
against the possibility of his committing
suicide.
Letters have been received here from
Mrs. Hau, who rejoined relatives at
Baden Baden soon after the arrest of her
husband in London, asking that an inquiry
be made of her husband to what he has
done with $4,000, being her dowry from
her fathers estate, which she gave into
the keeping of her husband. The solicit
tors have been unable to trace this money.
Herr Moltor, Mrs. Hau's father, left
S125 900, besides considerable realty, to his
widow and children, and the greater part
of this estate would be inherited by Mrs.
Hau upon the death of her mother.

dent to the plaintiffs that this object was
not being accomplished, and that instead 1t
was planned by the roads management to
place a second mortgage on the property
largely, the plaintiffs aver. for the purpose
of funding the floating debt of the road,
much of which, it is alleged, had been i'm
properly admitted by the railroad as due to
the construction company, which was under
the same management the railroad.
Mr.. Mcdonald. who is reputed to pc
worth seven eight millions, is the CHIEF
monied interest in the present management
He, it is said, along with w. d. Stratton
and E. X. Stallo, controlled not only the
Mobile Jackson and Kansas City, but the
Chicago and Gulf railway, as well as the
construction company, the Alabama Sc
curities Company. At the same time they
controlled the underwriting syndicate which
undertook to float $2,5O00C0 out of the w.
100000 issue of the Chicago and Gulf rail-
way which is leased to and whose bonds
are guaranteed by the Mobile road. This
underwriting syndicate was composed
largely of Pittsburg capitalists, including
Mr.. Mcneil and Mr.. Morrison, two of the
members of the committee through whom
the receivership proceedings were mstl-
tuted.
This committee, the other member of
which is John McCloud, was appointed IN
March of last year, and the troubles be-
tween the Pittsburg interests in the prop
erty and the management of the road date
back at least to that time. The manage
ment refused, it is asserted, several re-
quests to allow Independent auditors to
examine the books of the road, and the
Pittsburg men, it is declared, after putting
their money into the enterprise were kept
in the dark regarding the manner in which
their money had been expended.
The assertion of the Pittsburg committee
that they We're acting all along in good
faith with the object of rehabilitating the
property, is denied by President Robinson,
who says that the present receivership pro-
ceedings are part of an effort to wreck the
road. The road is already wrecked, the
plaintiffs contend, in the sense that 1t IS
insolyent.

coed Sadadzucki at New York.
NEW YORK, December 29.-Accordng to
a telegram received yesterday by Mr.. M.
Nagai, acting consul general of Japan In
New York, Mr. Chozo Koike, the second
secretary of the Japanese embassy In Lon
DON who has been decorated by the mikado,
has been appointed consul general to New
York to succeed Mr.. SadadZucki, who is
now in Japan on leave of absence. Just
when the new consul general will be here
Is not yet known, but he is expected early
next year.
Mr. Koike has been in the diplomatic
service of the Japanese government for a
number of years. He was a secretary Of
the japanese legation in London when Mr..
Jakaaki Kato was the Japanese minister
to England. Minister Kato having been
recalled, Secretary Koike- returned with
him to Japan. Later he was made the sec
ond secretary at the Japanese legation in
Picking, China, under Minister Kosai Uchida.
This fall when the Japanese ambassador to
London, Baron Jutaro komura. received
the appointment to his present post, Mr..
Koike accompanied him to London to serve
as second secretary.
Consul General Koike is a graduate of
the law school of the Imperial University
of Toxic He is a comparatively young
man, being about thirty years of age. Yet,
in spite of his youth, he is, according to
the New York japanese Weekly Times, a
man of remarkable diplomatic talent.

ever. through being clogged up with snow
or from some other cause, not yet ascer-
tanned, and an express train dashed into
the rear of the waiting train.
Mr.. Black had botn legs broken. A num-
Der of others were seriously injured. and
it is feared that some of them will die.
Everything possible is being done to succor
the wounded, but it is difficult to render
assistance.
Telegraph communication between here
and Arbroath is unsatisfactory, because
of the weather conditions, and details of
the accident are coming through slowly.
1t is recalled that the Arbroath accident
occurred on the anniversary of Scotland s
worst railroad wreck, at the Tay bridge,
in 1879. and within twenty miles of the
scene of the former accident. In the wreck
of twenty seven years ago the bridge col
lapsed and precipitated a train with over
seventy people into the river No one

SIXTEEN DEAD; MANY HURT.
Collision in Scotland Results in
Heavy Loss of Life.

DUNDEE, Scotland, December 29.-Six-
teen persons have been killed and more
than thirty injured in railroad collision
caused indirectly by the great storm. The
accident occurred near Arbroath, on the
North British railroad, between Edinburgh
and Aberdeen. and some distance north of
here. Among the persons injured is Alex
ander William Black, member of the house
of commons from Banffshre, Scotland.
The accident is attributed to the heavy
fall of snow, which caused trains from
London and Aberdeen to be held UP at
Arbroath. In the afternoon, however, the
line was cleared, and one train proceeded
for Dundee. 1t had stopped at Elliot juno
ton, and the danger signals were thought

Christmas Trees at Potsdam.

One of the first duties performed by the
kaiser on his return to Potsdam the other
day was to select the Christmas trees for
himself and his family. Accompanied by
his head gardener, he went to the fir plan
tations in the Sans Souci Park and selected
nine young frs of the silver" order, which
are to be cut down a few days before
Christmas. Two trees of exactly similar
height are for himself and the empress,
and seven others. varying in altitude are
for his seven children, the smallest Of all
being for his only daughter the Princess
Victoria Louise. The trees are almost alb
solutely symmetrical and the finest availa-
BILE specimens of their order.
On Christmas eve these trees will be set
up in the hall of shells of the huge palace
at Potsdam, and will be laden with colored
electric lamps. Under them will be placed
the tables bearing the presents. The
kaiSer's Christmas presents to the empress
yer from the time of Frederick the Great.
For some days past the empress has been
busily engaged in shopping, buying pres
ents for her children and friends.
For some years regular pantomime al
the West End theaters has been confined
to Drury Lane. This year besides the
regular show a return to the old Christmas
fare is to be made at Terry's Theater,
where Little Red Riding Hood" is to be
produced. Some twenty or thirty suburban
rely upon the Christmas bill of fare as
their financial mainstay. The experiment
at Terry's will be watched with great in
terest, as it will help to solve the ques-
ton as to whether there is or is not de-
mand for old-style pantomime from other
than the denizens of suburbs. AS a mat
ter of fact no regret is more frequently
expressed by playgoers than at the dlsap-
pearance of pantomme and the burlesques

Lord Amherst's Library.

The circulation of the catalogue of Lord
Amherst's library has excited great interest
among book lovers and book buyers The
disposal of the library has been intrusted
to Mr. Quaritch. who, no doubt, would pre-

chaser rather than in detail The library
contains a great number of rare and VAL

or colonial millionaire will buy up the whole

that q wealthy Canadian magnate Is IN
