which Justice Fitzgerald upheld the

declaring he was cndeayoring mere

tails in the story-that Mrs. FhaW

Did Each Gain His Point?

Nire-tenths of the session were spent

stance when the smoke OF conflict
point as to the law while Jerome III
the very argument itself had got be-
fore the jury a perfect knowledge as
to what his witness would have testi-
fled to had they been permitted. The
district attorney called ten witnesses
during the day, but aside from draw
ing from the states eyewitnesses to
the tragedy the opinion that Thaw
seemed rational the night he shot and
killed Stanford White little real head
way was made.

Judges Instructions to Come.

There is one fly in Jerome's oint-
ment, however. Although he did get
what he wanted before the jury the
judges instructions are to be reckoned
with. If the judge sticks to his rulings
he will particularly instruct the jury
that all this evidence to which objec-
items was sustained must be absolute
ly thrown out of the iury's mind in
making up it's verdict.

Fear a Tidal Wave.

New York, Sept. 24.-Implicitly &C
ceptiDg as true the recent prediction of
an amateur weather prophet that New
York will be swept by a tidal wave on
the night of september "a, the lower east
side is in panic today which is causing
the police considerable Inconvenience.
Many families have hustled their house
hold effects to the roofs in the hope OF
getting them above the waters reach;
Others are temporarily quitting the city
and few even tried to drag small boats
through the streets to places where they
would be conveniently at hand in the
event of the expected inuudation. The
prophecy, originally published in a
monthly magazine, was copied by sever
al Italian and Hebrew papers. The
past few days heavy rains increased the
feeling of alarm until thousands of the
tenement jewellers are on the verge Of a
panic.

STEAMBOAT RATES.

The rate war, which is already warmly
waging between the new Washington,
jamestown and Norfolk Steamship Com
psny and the Richmond and Norfolk
Steamship Co., on one side, and the
Old Dominion, the Virginia Navigation
Company and the Norfolk and Wash
ington Steamboat Company on the other,
is growing in bitterness day by day.
Because the new company advertised
the old as monopoly" several spirit
ed clashes have occurred recently be-
tween representatives of the competing
transportation lines.
The new lines, which are operated by
a company, of which William j. Payne,
the trolley msguate, is the head, opened
the war by cutting the rates between
Richmond and Norfolk and between
Norfolk and Washington.
At the beginning Of the struggle,
when the new company began business,
the rate between Norfolk and Washing
ton was SO. so on the day line and So on
the night line. The rate between Rich
mond and Norfolk was $3.50.
These figures have been FLASHED 10
about one-half, the rate for the round
trip between Richmond and Washington
being cut 10 81 by the new company.
The struggle between The competing
companies reached climax recently
when the Washington, jamestown and
Norfolk Steamship line adoped an ex-
traordinary method OF cutting into the
business of the Norfolk and Washing
ton Company. Probably go per cent. of
the travel to the jamestown Exposition
from other parts of the country is by
way of Washington. By traffic ar
rangement with the different railroads
the jamestown tourists we're booked from
Washington to Norfolk over the Norfolk
and Washington line. The new COM
paDy advertised that it would accept
the tickets issued by any of the railroads
and as the result great stream OF pass
enger traffic was diverted from the Nor
folk aud Washington line. Agents of the
railroad and steamship companies pro-
tested in vain against the unusual tao
tics. The new line officers were assured
by the railroad men that they would
never receive penny from the roads
that issued the tickets.
The new line officers replied that they
would take chances; that, in any event,
the advertisement was worth something.
The new company has one steamer,
the Queen Anne, now running between
Richmond aud Norfolk, and one boat,
the Montauk, plying between Norfolk,
the jamestown Exposition &nd Washing
ton. Two other steamers, in course of
building, will be added, making feet
of four.
The rate war reached fever heat re-
Gently when j. Bernard Cinedinst was
made general passenger agent of the new
lines. Mr.. Clinedinst inaugurated an
aggressive campaign, which has stirred
things to hectic aspect. Tue agents
of the competing companies are now at
1t, hammer aud tongs.
It is believed that the old Companies
are preparing to spring q new rate and
