SHIP BESET BY STORMS.
Two Girls Rout Purser in the Worst
One of the Three.


This from the New York Tribune will
interest Salt Lakers:
The White Star liner Adriatic. which
locked early last evening. encountered
three storms between Southampton and
Sandy Hook-an electrical storm. a
snowstorm and a storm that has yet to
be accurately described, but which, it
was agreed by all the passengers, was
the shortest in duration and for a time
appeared to be the most dangerous.
The other storms did no damage.
There was concert in the salon on
Wednesday night, at which the vessel
orchestra assisted. Miss Clarice Vance,
vaudeville singer and Miss Pearl
Jones of Utah were the principal enter
tainers. There is always a collection
taken I'D at these concerts. This one
brought about $50. Miss Vance placed
the money on the piano. thanked the
orchestra and asked its leader to divide
the spoils.
Pardon me-" interrupted Mr.. Apple
yard, the purser, but these collections
are invariably added to the Seamen's
fund.-" and with this the purser walked
away with the money and deposited it
with the cashier.
Mr.. AppIeyard will probably never
forget the storm and the scorn that fol-
lowed. In a few moments every woman
aboard rallied to the Misses Vance and
Jones, who had resented the interfer-
ence of the purser. All agreed that
well, the storm lasted only few mo-
ments, but it was violent until the
suave Captain Smith came along.
ut shall be as the ladies WISH, he
ruled, and the money went to the or
chestra, and the orchestra, when the
Misses Vance and Jones were walking
down the gangplank, played something
that sounded for all the world like one
of the airy gems from 1.-THE Belle of
Mayfair''

BOY STRUCK BY LIGHTNING
Was Hauling Wood From Canyon,
When Deadly Bolt Descended,
Rendering Him Unconscious

Richfield, July l6.-Melvfn Christensen.
q young man about IA or Is years old, of
Aoosnafem, wayne county, was struck
by lightning last Friday afternoon. which
rendered him unconscious. The boy was
up IN Greenwich canyon after a load of
wood when heavy shower set in He
at once sought shelter under big pine
treeb and had only sat down when there
was a binding flash of lightning accom-
panied by terrific report and from then
on ne remembered no more until he was
revived from his unconscious condition.
lie remained unconscious for several
hours before any one knew of his fate
ana put for the timely arrival of couple
of women might have persisted. The Wo-
men were at the mouth of the canyon
attending to some irrigating water
About 1 o'clock they saw young Chris
ten 5 team come down the road with a
drag OF wood. They waited a short time
10 see IL the boy was near, and he not APP
peaf1ng, they started out to see what had
become of him. They had some difficulty
IN flnding where he had left the main
road, but after q diligent search they
found him about o'clock under the tree
where he had fallen. They succeeded in
Brown, which is about a mile away.
After working with him for about an
hour he regaiaed consciousness. By Mon
day he had pretty well recovered from the
shock, but still had terrible headache.
No marks can be found on mis- body. al
though his clothing was Scorched little.
He Is the son of Mr.. and Mrs John
Christensen of Koosharem.
Somewhat of a freak of nature in the
form of d calf with six hOOfs was born
at KoOSharem. 1t is the property of
Charles Erickson of that place. The calf
seems to be entirely healthy and is per
feet IN form, with the exception that
from the hooks down to the hoofs of the
two hind legs, there are double leg bones
in both legs. They do not divide, how
ever, until just above the hoof. They are
both the same length and when the calf
walks each pair of hOOfS touches the
ground evenly. The calf seems to get
around and plays with the other calves
with as much ease as any of them.

HAS GOOD WORD
FOR RAILWAYS
Justice Brewer Says the At
tempt to Squeeze the Corpo-
ratiOnS Is Not Right.

Milwaukee, Wis, July 17.-Associate
Justice Brewer of the United States
supreme court tonight delivered an ad-
dress at the closing session of the an
nual meeting of the agents of the
Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance
company, of which he is one of the
trustees.
There is much said about the rail-
roads," said Justice Brewer. 1T is a
popular practice to say that they are
very wicked. For instance, like life in
surance companies. There has been a
great deal of wrong, such as granting
of special favors, bad stock specula-
lions and the like. But 1 say to you
that, taking the earnings and the mon
ey invested in railroads as a whole,
there is not fair return on the money
invested. The attempt to squeeze those
who built I'D the railroads and through
them the country is not right. The
men who invested their money are en-
titled to a reasonable rate of interest.
Has Doubts About Folk.
My friend Folk of Missouri has my
admiration in many ways. But suppose
through such laws as Missouri passed
the railroads will actually lose money
on carrying freight and passengers.
Will the state make the loss good to
them? 1 have been given to under
stand that Governor Folk has been
denouncing the federal courts for is
suing an injunction to the railways in
Missouri to protect them from the op-
erations of the state statutes"
Justice Brewer held that the rights
of the railroads should be protected I'M
til the law demonstrates that the roads
can be made to net a reasonable return
upon the money invested.
Opinion of Land Frauds.
Discussing land frauds, Justice Brew
er declared that much of what is re-
ported as being fraud in western land
dealings is not at all wrong. He cited
the fact that the Vanderbilt and other
large estates were handed down as
practically q whole, whereas NOW scat
tering Of estates is becoming the prac-
tiCe 1t is wisdom" said Justice Brew
er, ito scatter estates among many and
prevent large accumulations of proper

They say the churches are not as they

look at the observance of the golden

best kind of religion is that which lends

HIS WIFE
c. w. IVEY PRODUCES SENSATION
 IN DEMOPOLIs.
Young Man, Believed to Be Insane. ia Locked in Prison After Vicious Assault on Mrs.
 Iyey

Demopolis, March 27.-(SpeciaD-C. W Ivey. well known young man of Demopolis. is in Jail here charged with cruel treatment of his wife. It is be- lieved he is insane.
 Prompt action by Mrs w F. Wal ton, mother of Mrs. Ivey, undoubtedly saved the young wife from death at the hands of her husband.
 Chief of Police H. A Monnier was called yesterday to the residence of w. P. Walton. where Ivey and his wife are staying
 It developed that Ivey in a fit of in- sanity tried to choke his wife to death. Mrs. Walton. attracted by the screams of her daughter and her little child. rushed into the room to find Ivey in a kneeling position on his wife's breast and choking her with both hands. She had been thrown to the floor and had been choked until she was black in the face when Mrs. Walton got into the room. She succeeded in showing him off her daughter but being a strong man he overpowered her and made an other attack on his wife.
 Mrs. Walton, snatchng up q child's garment, and throwing it around Ivey 6 neck began twisting the ends As the garment frightened around his neck the man released his hold on his wife's throat. She recovered sufficiently to get up and run out on the porch Mrs. Walton also ran out and attempted to close the door and lock Ivey on the inside, and when Chief Monnier arr rived on the scene they were strug. gling at the door-Mrs. Walton and her daughter on the outside and Ivey on the inside.
 When Chief Monnier entered the house Ivey was docile, and seemed to realize he had committed a horrible crime. He said he hoped speedy pun ishment would be administered to him as there was time appointed for every one to die, and that he was ready to go.
 It is reported that Ivey has shown signs of insanity since last Friday, and the family has been in constant fear of some Kind of trouble.
 Ivey and his wife moved to this city a year or two ago from Marion and made their home with Mrs. Ivey's par. ents. Both families are held in high esteem by the people of Demopolis,
 Ivey was at one time Register in Chancery in Perry County, and is said to have been a man of more than ordi- nary intelligence.
 Chief Monnier took him to the city prison and locked him up. He will be taken to Linden in a few days and from there to the asylum at Tuscaloosa, probably as soon as Probate Judge Nasty can arrange for his admit tance.

WILL HONOR CORNELL
TO CELEBRATE
 CENTENNIAL OF HIS BIRTH.
Alumni and Friends of Great Ithaca University VIII Join fin Inter-
 esting Exercises In Memo ry of Founder. tff

Ithaca. N. r., March 27.--Arrange- ments for the celebration of the cen- tennial of the birth of Ezra Cornell. founder of Cornell University, and the dedication of the new buildings of the New York State college of agriculture have been. completed.
 The exercises will be held one month from today and will extend over two days. The first day will be devoted to the Cornell centennial celebration and the second day to the dedication of the new college building. Andrew Carne- gie of the board of trustees has been selected to deliver the principal ad- dress on Ezra Cornell The faculty has selected as their spokesman Andrew D. White, first president of the univer- sity. and the alumni committee has se- lected Senator Joseph B. Foraker, class of '69, and Dr. David Starr Jordan, class of '72. president of Leland stan ford Jr.. university.
 Ezra Cornell, whose memory it Is proposed to honor on so elaborate a scale, won the gratitude of posterity not only by founding the great unfver- sity which bears his name. but by oth- CT works as we'll. He was born on farm at westchester Landing, N. r., January II, 1897 and was of Quaker ancestry. As youth he followed the opNCfdA OiEupdttOhS OI HllliWTIBuL ma chinfst and farmer. At the age of 21, he walked from De Ruyter, N r., whither his family had moved soon after shis birth. to Ithaca, where he continued as miller and mechanic for thirteen years.
 He had prominent part in the erec- ton of the first experimental telegraph lines. He was 34 years old when he made the acquaintance of a Mir Smith of Portland, Me, who had the contract to lay under ground the lead pipe con- taining the four insulated wires of the projected Morse telegraph between Washington and Baltimore. Cornell already had displayed considerable in- ventive genius, and at Mir. Smiths sug- gestion he put his mind to the task of producing a machine that would ex- cavate narrow trench about two feet In depth, lay the wire within 1t and cover 1t over, all at one operation.
 This led to an acquaintance with Professor Morse, and later, when it was found impossible to have perfect insulation, Cornell suggested to Morse that the telegraph wires be strung on poles This suggestion was carried out, and Cornell began to. make money out of his contracts to erect telegraph lines. He built the line between New York and Albany. and when he had made enough money to carry out his plan he built several lines in the wea- tern states.

WORK OF WRECKERS.
MTsCREANTs TOOK UP RAIL ON
 PENNsYLvANLA.
Keystone Express Deratled But No One Was Hurt Passengers and Train Crew Had Mirac-
 cul0ue Escape.

Pittsburg. Pa. March 2T.-Train No. 20. on the Pennsylvania Railroad known as the Keystone Express. east bound, was derailed near wflmerding. Pa, four miles east of here. early to- day.
 The engine. two mall cars and com bination baggage and smoker left the track, but no one was hurt
 It is believed the train was inten- tionaliy derailed and that the deed was done by the same parties who wrecked the Chicago Limited train No. 23, at Stewart, Penna.. last Friday morning The same plan was carried out, and only the slow speed of the train. thirty miles an hour, saved it from turning Tturle, diving over a steep bank and crushing out perhaps score of lives
 As in the case of the Chicago Limi- ted the same methods were adopted. The spikes. bolts and fish plates for an entire length of rail had been removed and the rail turned inward on tracks numbers and {, the main tracks east ward and westbound. Nearby were a track wrench and a pair of gloves, while in the creek below a claw bar. nuts. bolts and fish plates were found.
 It Is supposed the tools had been obtained by breaking open a company chest. A yard man who passed the point where the express was wrecked a few minutes before the accident oc- cured reported that he saw two men walking the track. He gave the detec- lives a description of the men and every effort is being made to find them.
 It is regarded as a miracle that no one was hurt in the wreck. When the pony trucks of the engine struck the projecting corner of the rail, which had been tempered with, the engine leaped from the rtack. carrying the two mail cars and the combination car with 1t. Engineer Poorbaugh and Fire man Johnson remained at their posts and when the train stopped they were none the worse for their experience.
 Several mail clerks had narrow es- capes, all being thrown from their feet by the sudden application of the air brakes and the terrific joiting over the ties.
 As the sleepers all ramained on the tracks the passengers were not injur- ed.

CAUSE FOR ANXIETY.
Dutch Banks Sounds a Note Of Warn

Berlin, March 27.-Herr Kereh. one of the managing directors of the Deutsche Bank. at the annual meet ing of the stockholders today, said the international money market gave some cause for anxiety.
 All the banks undoubtedly had been obliged to meet enormous requirements and a reactional had naturally fol- lowed. but the present panicky feel ing was exaggerated. It was foolish to sell good securities at any price The Issue of new securities would de- velop slowly, owing to the unfavorable money market. but the banks losses arising from this feature of the situ- alton would be compensated for by high rates of interest, which, however, did not mean that the Deutsche Bank favored a high interest rate.
