TORPEDO BOAT Is SUNK.
British Warship Goes Down in Col
lision With Cruiser.

Portsmouth, England, April 5. -
dleton, the commander of the torpedo
boat destroyer Tiger, lost their lives
in the collision off the Isle of Wight
between that vessel and the British
cruiser Berwick. The vessels belong
ed to the Portsmouth division of the
British home fleet and were engaged
in night u in the channel
while on their way to Portland. The
night was very dark and the Berwick
was steaming slowly. When the de-
stroyer attempted to cross the big
cruisers bow she was caught amid
ships and cut in half with knifelike
precision, sinking almost immediate
ly.
Deck Crew Goes Down.
The deck crew, who were dressed
in heavy oilskins and boots, went
down with the vessel, not having time
to free themselves from these heavy
membranes. or the twenty-five men
who were rescued, most of them were
engineers and stokers, who. having
light clothing, were able to keep
themselves afloat until boats from the
other ships, which were Immediately
launched, picked them up.
The collision occurred at $40
o'clock Thursday night. The ships
were maneuvering without lights. 1t
is believed that several Of the men
we're killed by the impact.
Under Cover Of Darkness.
The smaller naval vessels were in
the midst of an attack on their bigger
c~onsorts when the disaster occurred.
The entire fleet was under masked
lights, and In the absolute darkness
the Tiger was suddenly struck square
amidships by the Berwick. The sharp
stem Of this vessel. to use the words
of an eyewitness. cut the destroyer In

The forward half sank instantaneous
" and the sea became dotted with
struggling men. Most Of them. how
ever, sank before help could reach
them.

HOSPITAL
AVOIDS RISKS

The authorities at the hospital for
the insane, since the outbreak of foot
and mouth disease, are not taking any
risks in handling cattle connected
with the institution.
In the past it was customary for the
hospital to do its own slaughtering.
In this connection it might be ex-
planned that eight to nine beeves are
required weekly to supply the institu.
tion. The steers to be slaughtered
were purchased of local drover, who
delivered the animals at the institu-
tion.
Since the outbreak of the foot and
mouth disease the hospital authorities
refuse to permit any cattle to be driv-
en- on the hospital land. The cattle
needed for beef are all killed in the
slaughter house in Danville, after be.
ing inspected, and the dressed carcasses
taken to the hospital.
Yesterday several very fine animals
were killed Steward Howard b.
Schultz was down into town attend
ing to some details connected with the
slaughtering.

and the trunk was deposited on the

the direction of the trunk indicating
close quarters and keen distress.
The lady was inclined to resent the
imputation that there might be cat
in her trunk until the latter was open

Lowest death.
RATE RECORDED

Some benign influences seem work
ing In Danville, which since last sum-
mer have kept the death rate down
lower than it has ever been known in
the past.
During last July and August the
deaths occurring in the district were
fifteen and seventeen respectively. This
was low, but it was not considered re-
markable for midsummer. In October
the number of deaths was seventeen,
four occurring at the hospital for the
insane. This was still considered a
low death rate, but it was believed
that the number of deaths would in
crease in Novem Der when colder wealth
er was due.
Instead of an increase, however.
still lower death rate is noted, the
number of peopIs who died in this
district during November being eleven,
the lowest number of deaths recorded
here for any month since the law OF
vital statistics went into effect. OF
the eleven deaths reported four occur
red at the hospital for the insane
In the light OF the above it is inter
esting to note that in November, 1907,
the number of deaths reported in this
district was twenty-five, eleven occur
ring at the hospital. In October, 1907,
twenty three deaths were reported.
In the matter of births, however.
there seems to be no falling off. The
number reported during October the
present year is twenty-five as against
twenty.three in October last year.
The showing of the report OF the
local registrar is likewise favorable as
relates to contagious diseases. There
WAS no typhoid fever reported during
the month, During November last
year eighteen cases of typhoid were
under treatment.
During the month just closed nine
cases of scarlet fever were reported
five cases Of diphtheria and two cases
of pulmonary tuberculosis No deaths
resulted from contagious diseases

OCCUPIED Within
A MONTH

Mosier & Summers, contractors at
the hospital for the insane, are max.
ing steady progress on the new build
ings being erected there While they
have all reached an advanced stage,
work on the building for the acute in
sane male patients is literally on the
home stretch and the building will be
ready for occupancy by the.holidays.
Externally the buildings even to the
painting are fully completed. They
form quite an imposing group, which
adds very much to the appearance of
the institution as q whole
On the female infirmary and the
building for the acute insane female
patients the plasterers are about
through. All that remains for the
carpenters to do is to put down the
floors and trim up the interior. The
painters have the inside of both build
ings to go over.
At the building for the acute insane
male patients the upper story is prac-
tically completed. On the lower story
the floor is to be laid and the trim
ming to be done. The painters are
very nearly through with their work.
and arrangement is admirably adapted
to its purpose. The structure stands
in an exposed position, SO that its num-
erous windows admit an abundance of
light. The walls. with their white
coat, add to the effect. The building
is finished in veneered ash, which, af-
ter being oiled, takes OIL beautiful
polish. Altogether the nearly COM
pleted building on the interior is quite
in keeping with the outside.
The lavatory system is modern and
first calss. In this building the heat
ing and ventilating system, heretofore
described in these columns, has gone
into operation and its many points of
excellence are noted at a glance.
The fresh air is admitted into the
cellar and before it leaves the ducts it
is warmed over an extensive coil of
steam pipe, after which it is drawn up
into the building to take the place of
vitiated air that is exhausted by an
aspirator on the top of the building.
Two or three weeks time will suffice
to complete the building for the acute
insane male patients. IL will be oc-
cupied by patients soon after the holi-
days. The female infrmary and the
building for the acute insane female
patients will not be completed much
before spring. No work ON the male
infirmary will be done this year.
