CABLE WORKS
TO BUILD SOON
Will Erect New Rubber Mill Op.
pOsite Present Plant on
High Street.

The Standard Underground Gable
Company is contemplating building a
large rubber mill on the property at
High street and DeKalb avenue, inn
mediately across the street from their
present plant.
Plans are now being prepared for
the building, which will be two or
three storiesA high and will have a
frontage of dbout 200 feet on both
High street and DeKalb avenue. One
of the officials at the plant said today
that their present rubber mill is en-
tirely too small, and that work on

number of local architects have made
application for the work OF planning
the building, but 1t is understood
that it is being designed by a Pitts
burg firm. When the new mill is
completed a number of new hands
will be employed. The officials at
the plant today said that the cost of
the building has not as yet been esti-
mated, but it is understood that it
will be a large sum.
The cable company has owned
property on the opposite side of High
street for some time. but recently
purchased some additional lots on
DeKalb avenue. On their property
at the present time there is a large
three-story tenement house, which
they have advertised for sale TO the
highest bidder. Bids will be received

Not Expect Another.

Max Hanson, of IS DeKalb avenue,
is confined to his home today with In
juries sustained in collision between
trolley car and the Adams Express
Companys wagon on which he was
the driver at 4:30 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. MI
The collision occurred on Stat&
street under the first Lehigh Valley
bridge. AS near as can be learned
Hanson had passed a car near Hair
avenue and did not think that anoth-
er car was coming at that time. Ha
was driving in the center of the track
when he saw a car coming north
around the curve under the first
bridge. The motorman of the ear
saw the wagon and, thinking it would
turn out, did not slacken speed. Han
son tried to drive to the side OF the
road when the rear wheel Of the
wagon skidded and delayed his in-l
tentions. BY this time the car was
almost upon the wagon, and before
the motorman could slacken the
speed or stop the car, it hit the wagon
on the side, dmolishing the front
wheels and throwing the driver
against the other side.
ItsaEas thought at the time that
Hanson was uninjured but it was
found later that he had received q
severe blow on the head. which may
result seriously. The young man says
he does not know how he received tho
blow, but thinks he was thrown 10
the ground. The trolley officials say
that the driver was not thrown out OF
the wagon, and If this Is true he must
have been hit either by the car or q
part of the roof of the wagon, which
was smashed by the impact OF the
blow.

RLOCK ISLAND. r. L.. Feb. Ia
A marine disaster with an appalling
loss Of life and entaiing suffering al
most beyond the limit of human en-
durance, came TO light when lifeboat
of the JOY line steamer Larchmont,
bound from Providence to New York.
drifted into Block island harbor.
In the boat were several bodies of
mau who had died from the effects of
long hours Of exposure to death deal
ing temperature. In the boat also
were eleven men whose suffering was
80 intense that they seemed oblivious
to the fact that death was in ~their
midst and that they had escaped only
by virtue Of their ability to withstand
the rigor Of zero weather in an open
boat at sea.
The boat brought a tale of disaster
that has rarely been equaled i'll New
England waters. and 1t Is believed that
when the final count is made it will be
found that not less than $50 lives were
lost. Following closely in the wake of
the solitary lifeboat came bodies cast
upon the beach by angry waves. Then
came lifeboats and RATS. Each of
them bore their burden of grim death
as well as load Of suffering human
ity, and each brought tale4of horror,
Of suffering and of despair.
Thirty-eight ice covered bodies have
been found along the shore on the is
land, where they had drifted in from
the foundered steamer.
Owing TO the condition Of the sur
vivors Of the tragedy it was impossible
to get from them an estimate of the
loss OF life.
The steamship officials estimate that
about 1S0 passengers and crew OF
fifty were on board the steamer when
she left Providence. Forty-three bod
