WILD TROLLEY RIDE.
Motorman Falls Off and Car Dashes
on Uncontrolled.

ELIZABETH, n. j., September A.
Twelve passengers on an interurban troll
ley car had the most thrilling ride of theil
lives last night. For more than three
miles they were carried at the rate OF
tlGrty-five miles an hour in car that
had no motorman to control il. The
motorman. William Bates, had been thrown
from the platform, unknown TO the pas
sengers.
Around curves and through the streets
OF several villages the trolley dashed
gaining Roadway all the time. The pas
sengers, among whom were three women,
began to have misgivings, and when the
car reached the main thoroughfare of
Eliz&be and faiied to slow down the
women asked the conductor. Alfred Shaw,
to have the motorman lessen speed. Shaw
rang the bell, but the car continued on
with undated speed.
Shaw ran forward to caution the motor
man. He found the platform empty and
quickly stopped the car
The next car over the line picked up
Bates unconscious and took him back 10
the Plainfield Hospital. He is in a serious
condition.

THAT CHINESE PARLIAMENT.
Sir Robert Hart Doesn't Paint Such
a Glowing Picture.

LONDON, September 4. - Sir Robert
Hart, director general of Chinese customs.
who is here on years leave of absence
from his post, in an interview concerning
the granting of constitution to the Chi
nese people, did not appear sanguine OF
any immediate reform in the direction of
Chinese government. He said that edicts
similar to the one recently issued at
Peking. promising a constitution within
stated period, had been issued before.
1t is impossible to say, he added. when
parliament will be summoned; 1t may
be next year, and perhaps not for a
decade.
He pointed out that China did not as
simulate western ideas strictly and 1t was
to be feared that even if a parliament
was constituted, the 4eo. 900 600 of Chinese
in the interior would remain passive. He
did mot think the imperial power would
be lessened by the granting of consti-
tuition; still he was of the opinion that
China was feeling her way and preparing
the foundations for progress, and. when
the new generation began to build. China s
pagoda would tower high among the
nations.

In Easy Circumstances.
OF late Jordan has been stationer in
the Berkeley building at 400 Boylston
street, where he seemingly did pros
porous business His fiat in Somerville
was nicely furnished and there was no
evidence of disorder when the police got
there
Neither could they find any trace OF
blood in the rooms. Jordan explained
this by saying he dragged his wife's body

The father is a loan broker in Boston
and is said to be well-tO-dO.
Jordan has always borne a good reputa-
ton. His wife was known on the stage
as Jessie Shannon.
Insanity Will Be Plea.
But few points in connection with the
horrible and gruesome murder remained
to be cleared up by the police today.
The confession of the husband was be-
lieved to be a substantial recita! of the
incidents OF the brutal crime. Several
minor details of his confession confiicted.
His story was uhconnected in parts.
Attorney William S. Scharton. who has
been procured for the defense of Jordan
by his .brother-in-law, Jesse L. Livermore.
the cotton market operator of New York,
states that he already has evidence of
Jordan's mental arrangement several
weeks before the murder.
In this case the murderer's insanity
may account for some of the lapses in
his confession, although as a whole 1t was
remarkably clear

Special Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence OF The Star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va, September 4. 1905.
A large and representative gathering Of
business men assembled at the rooms of
the chamber of commerce at IL O'Clock
this morning and discussed with Maj.
Spencer Cosby and several officials from
the United States engineers Office the
proposed plans for the, establishment of
harbor line for this city.
In the main the plans, drawn under the
direction of Maj. Cosby. were regarded
as being entirely satisfactory, although
notes on several proposed minor changes
were taken. and should this matter be re-
ported upon favorably these will be taken
into consideration.
According to the plans drawn there is
q sand bar off this city which works to a
disadvantage to incoming vessels of any
draught. For several years back this
bar has been increasing. and in the opin-
ion of those familiar with the subject. it
will eventually prove a serious menace to
navigation, especially boats entering this
port.
1t is generally believed that the en-
gineer's office will report faterably on
the proposition, which will call for large
appropriation. Should this be done eff
forts will at once be made to have Con-
gress act favorably on the matter. 1t is
pointed out that this is the first time that
the business men of this city have asked
the national government to expend a
cent at this harbor, and in view of this
fact those fostering the movement ex-
pect to see the appropriation made and
the work done.
Reopening Of Public Schools.
Arrangements for the reopening of the
public schools were made last night at a
meeting Of the city school board The
Issuing of permits. it was decided, will
begin Monday next and the schools will
be reopened for studies September IA. Re-
ports were received to the effect that
necessary repairs have been made at all
the schools since the closing and that

70 THE FARMERS OF THE

The Irrigation Congress at Albu-

national Importance Inc a much big

have fully looked into it. In attend
ance there will be people from ali

irrigation, and we of the Pecos Val
ley have an opportunity to advertise
this valley in a way we may never
have again. The Congress is held re-
ally right at our doors and we should
take advantage of that fact to show
the people who will come there from
all quarters of the globe that we
have the greatest irrigated valley on
earth. We can easily show it by max
ing a good display of our products;
and we now ask the assistance of all
farmers, of not only the country ar
ound Roswell, but of the whole val
ley, in getting up an exhibit that will
surpass the exhibits that will be
sent from other states.
Washington, Idaho and all the fruit
growing states will have carloads OF
fruit and vegetables there, and we
of the Pecos Valley must not be be-
hind. I want to get at least two cars
Of apples, pears and other fruits, and
make a showing that will turn the
| eyes of the world on the Pecos Val
ley. In order to do so we will have
to have the support of the farmers.

you cannot donate. Under any consid-
Grafton we var the fruit. 1t will be

will have their names on it as grown
by such and such a farm of the Pecos
Valley. 1t is a big undertaking and
l would like to ask the farmers to let
me know just we can expect
from each III not only what they
will donate, but what they will sell
us. 1t is t. your interest Is well as
ours.
l also want to get a good exhibit
Of kafir corn, milo maize, and in fact
everything that we grow in the valley.
Now will you do your part in help
ing me to get these exhibits. If you
have not the time to bring in the pro-
ducts, then either telephone me or
send me a postal, and l will go out
and get it.
We will bear all the expense of the
