lease of life.
The training ship Gopher, which
brought the naval militia to aid in
fighting the fire, is in the harbor and is
taking women and children aboard. The
ship was welcomed with tears of joy
on her arrival, and only the aid of the
militia has saved the town up to this

Minutes.

Washington, Sept. 12.-In a flight
lasting one hour, ten minutes and &c
seconds, Orville Wright late yesterday
surpassed all his previous exploits for
time and distance fight for heavier
than-air machine.
Two flights were made at Fort Mey-
er, Va, yesterday, the first being of
ten minutes and so seconds duration,
for the purpose of showing what rate
of speed he had been travelling during

VIOLATES STATE RIGHTS.

Clause Invalid.
Philadelphia, Sept. IL. Declaring II
to be drastic, harsh and unreasonable,
and an invasion of the rights Of the
states and therefore repugnant to the
constitution, the United States Circuit
court for the Eastern district Of Penn
syivania today dismissed the suits of
the Federal government TO enforce the
commodities clause of the Hepburn
railroad act against the anthracite coal
carriers Of this state. Judges George
Gray and George II. Dallas filed opin-
ions dismissing the suits and Judge
Joseph Burlington disscnted, but did
not file an opinion.
The commodities clause prohibits
railroad companies 70 transport in in

duced by them or under their author
ity. The case was argued in June,

tional, would he 10 confine the mining

that for use in Pennsylvania Only, and
compel the railroads to sell all the
mining property they are interested

almost certain that the case will be
appealed directly to the United States
Supreme court.

compelled to stay indoors all day.
Scores of houses are damaged, win
dows are broken and the streets are
deserted but for a strong police guard
that is making the rounds in military
fashion.
The trouble started at midnight. A
mob of unemployed under the leader
ship of Socialists who hadsinfamed
