The Holy Jumpers.

The death of a 'Holy Jumper" by
a fall from the roof of a house on
which he is supposed to have been
dancing in religious ecstacy will serve
to remind the older generation of the
vogue this sect had about twenty-five
years ago and the sensation their
practices and beliefs created. Ac-
cording to my recollection they were
an extremely demonstrative people,
of the shouting and hand clapping
type, who added to these practices
the curious but not necessarily OBJ
jectionable habit~of jumping about
during their religious devotions. They
pursued a policy of keeping all their
money in a common fund. The moral
and religious teachings of the sect
were not in any way questionable, but
the complete absorption of its devo-
tees led to the breaking up of fami-
lies, and for a time created much bit
terness. 1t zones like a reminis-
cence of the past to read Of them af-

DEFECTIVE ARMOR PLATE
Representative Waldo Says Pri-

Many Rivet Holes in the United States
Warships Filled With Soap
Months Needed For Repairs.

disadvantages Of gross frauds
In the building of warships by private
contractors were made here by Rep
~resentative George E. Waldo, of New
York. He spoke at a mass meeting
given in Faneuil Hall by the National
League of Employees of Navy Yards.
"Warships built under contract by
private concerns and almost imme-
diately after their completion sent to
the Brooklyn Navy Yard for REPAIRS"
he said, have been found to have
rivet holes plugged with wood, putty
and soap, instead of iron rivets being
inserted. In n instance I know of
several hundred rivets supposed to
have been put into a warship built by
contractors, whose workmen filled
the rivet holes with putty and wood"
Brooklyn, n. Y.-Representative
George e. Waldo, at his home IL
Brooklyn, repeated the charges that
faulty work had been discovered in
the construction of certain warships
built by private concerns. MI. Waldo,
who is making a fight to have naval
| vessels built in the Government
yards, said he knew of several ships
turned over as complete to the navy,
which had to have considerable costly
work done on them to fit them for
service. The battleship Louisiana,
sister ship OF the Government-built
Connecticut, was one of the vessels
delivered as completed which was
not in shape for service, Mr.. Waldo
said.
When this vessel was delivered by
the contractors she was said by them
to be complete" said he. inspection
of her at the Brooklyn Navy Yard,
however, showed that many repairs
were needed. The sum of $4,000
was asked, and the Government en-
ployes worked for six weeks on the
ship before she was in proper shape"
Officials at the Brooklyn Navy Yard
declined to express their opinions of
the statements of Congressman Wal
do, either in affirmation or denial.
They were ready, however, to discuss
such cases as have already been made
public, and it was pointed out that
the Louisiana, built by private con-
tractors, offered perhaps the best ex-
ample of such construction as Mr..
Waldo referred to.
While private enterprise was build
ing the Louisiana the navy yard force
was engaged in constructing her sis
ter ship, the Connecticut. Although
the Louisiana was delivered at the
yards some months before the Con-
necticut was ready for the water, it
was found that she was not complete,
and it required some months of work
by the men at the navy yard before
the ship could be called finished. At
the time of her delivery by her con-
structors not a gun was mounted, the
turrets would not work, and there
were many other details of construc-
ton which had not been completed.
Similar instances are offered by
the Washington and the Tennessee,
both of which needed several months
of additional labor by naval men
after their delivery at the yards, pre-
sumably prepared for service. Both
ships were built by private contrac-
tors.

him a glorious humping. 1t was the

Sandwich Making Wonders.

On good journalistic authority
there is a Connecticut landlord who
is an expert sandwich maker or ham
cutter, whichever he may prefer to
be called. He says that he can, and
often has, cut meat for ESQ sand
wiches from a twelve-pound ham. He
told the story with pride, and it was
printed in his local paper with more
pride, and reprinted in a New York
paper with awe and admiration, yet
it cannot be believed that this Is any
extraordinary feat in ham cutting and
sandwich making.
In some of the Providence restau-
rants there are cutters and trimmers
who are undoubtedly capable of max
ing up 250 sandwiches from a twelve
pound ham, and when they have done
it there is ham enough left to provide
minced ham a la gneschofptelfeld-
chen for the next days menu, to say
nothing of the bone which is general
ly worked over into ham soup for the
second day thereafter. And onc
there was a church bazaar at which
the chairwoman of the supper direct
resses made BIG sandwiches from an
eleven-pound ham, and had enough
left so that she considered it worth
while to take the remnant home with
her.-Providence Journal.

LOST IN COLLAPSE

Half a Score of Workmen Killed
at Locust Point, Md.
WHARF'S UNDERMINING FELL

An Engineer Explains That Outer
Wash Had Softened Clay Bot
tom On Which Piers Rested
There Will Be an Investigation.
Baltimore, Md.-With a roar that
terrified thousands, and a rush that
drove a wave six feet high to distant
parts of the inner harbor of Balti-
more, nearly half of a new pier under
construction at Locust Point broke
. away from the shore end and plunged
into the water.
Out of the wreckage three dead
bodies have been taken. Five men
are missing, and their bodies are al
most certainly beneath the ruins, and
eighteen men are suffering from in
Juries more or less severe.
The dead are Howard l.. Ellender.
civil engineer, aged twenty-eight;
Robert Sweetman, carpenter, aged
forty-f1ve, and Antoine Woelffel, ele-
Vator %erector, aged fifty-six.
The missing, believed to be dead:
Jacob Windenberger, laborer; Harry
Ward, elevator workman; William w.
Vaughn, colored, Whitewater; Geo.
B.. Montgomery, colored, whitewash-
er; Buddy Johnson, colored, white
washer.
While many theories are advanced
no n is willing to say with anything
like certainty why the catastrophe oc-
Cured.
The new pier was being built by
the Baltimore Bridge Company and
the Mclean Contracting Company for
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and
was to have been used by the steam
ers of the Johnson line. 1t was a
two-story structure, $40 feet long,
about 500 feet of it being on land.
The water end was built upon piles
upon which a thick bed of concrete
was laid and above this rose the SUI
perstructure of steel. The water sec
ton of the pier was approaching COM
pletion and was under roof. This
section was separated from the land
end by a heavy wall of masonry.
About II o'clock there were heard
warning cracklings, and the workmen
were being called to places of safety
when, as many of them were strug-
Cling through the doors in the fire
wall this collapsed, and, with $50 feet
of the water end OF the pier, plunged
into the harbor, carrying a number of
men with it.
Of the ninety-six employees of the
Baltimore Bridge Company at work
on the pier one is known to be dead,
one is missing and the others are &C
counted for. The three colored
whitewashers were working near the
extreme end of the pier, and no hope
of their escape is expressed.
Ellender, the dead civil engineer,
who was acting Superintendent of the
Mclean Contracting Company, lost
his life in an effort to warn the men
of their danger. His body was not
recovered until three hours after the
accident.
Police, firemen and others, includ-
ing Mayor e. Clay Timanus, respond
ed quickly to calls for help and every
thing possible was done to aid the in
jured and ecove the bodies Of the
dead.
