ETHEL AT THE THROTTLE,
Miss Roosevelt Enjoys Fast Ride in

Atlanta. Ga, April 5.-Miss Ethel
Roosevelt. daughter Of the President,
stood at the throttle of the Atlanta

into Atlanta at noon Saturday. She
had been its engineer all the way
from Newman and had brought it into
the terminal depot here just six min
utes ahead of schedule.

said t. Engineer John r. Sill when the
train slowed down and comes to q
standstiil under the shed. This has
been the jolliest hour of my whole life.

daughter who ever ran an engine"
It was just before the train pulled
out from Newman that Engineer Still
heard girls voice behind him calling
May l come across and watch you.
Mr.. Engineer"
Turning, Mr.. Still saw the daughter
of the President on the tender of the
engine. Engineer Still stretched forth
his big hand and lifted her to the seat
near him and asked II suppose you'd
like to run the mogul?'
"Oh, if you'll be good enough to let
me-" answered Miss Ethel. A mo-
r1cnt later her hand had closed on the
throttle. Now pull open the lever"
said the engineer. Miss Ethel pulled
with all her might and off rolled the
train, while Miss Ethel laughed de-
lightedly at what she had done.

become ignited by the blazing organ
lamp, causing an explosion OF suffi-
cent force to have wrecked not only
the Organ but the church as well.
Upon searching for some trace of the
person or persons who had attempted
the destruction of the church, a side
door, which had been fastened merely
by brace on the inside, was found
open and it is presumed that the cuI-
pIit had left the church in that way.
AS there is no sign of forced entrance
to the building it is presumed that the
miscreant had gained access to the
church the night before when it was
opened for choir rehearsal and con-
cealcd himself until after the singers
had left. 1t is believed that the lamp
was not lit under the organ until some
time during the morning, probably a
few hours before Miss Morse found if.

Bath. Me, April 5.-Au attempt to
blow up the Universalist church in
this city was prevented shortly be-
fore the time for the commencement of
the morning service today by the
timely discovery of Miss Mary Morse,
the organist. Gas, escaping from a dis
comet ted pipe under the platform
upon which the organ rested, and a
lighted lamp placed under the organ
so as 10 cause Il fire and resulting eX-
plosion were the means employed in
the attempt to wreck the edifice.
AS neither the church nor its pastor,
Rev. ~ g. Hervey. are known to have
any enemies, the Bath police tried to
get into communication with George
Tucker of Winthrop, Mass, who re-
paired the organ two weeks ago, in
the hopes that he might give some
clues 10 some one, who from spirit
of revenge towards Tucker, might have
tried to destroy the work which he
had just completed
A choir rehearsal was held in the
church last night and everything was
left in order, so far as known. When
Miss Morse entered the church this
morning about an hour before the SER
vices commenced, she noticed that the
gas lamp which she had left on the
organ last night was missing. She al
50 detected Il strong odor Of gas and
looking down towards the base OF the
organ she saw flames.
She hurriedlv called Janitor Benja-
min Curtis. who quickly put out the
flames with a few buckets OF water
and then started an investigation into
the origin of the fire and the escaping
gas.

been taken from the organ shelf where
Miss Morse left it the night before

and appeared quite cheerful After
breakfast he told his wife he was going

wagon and a short time afterWard his
wife going there, found him hanging

cause of the act is supposed to have

opened at about the time that the top

air on the warm gas and oxide coming
from both top and bottom at once caused

RIOT FOLLOWS THE ELECTIONS,
Violent Demonstrations Take Place In Diff
ferent Parts OF City, as If In Accord
anCe With PreCOnCerted Plan.

Lisbon, April 1.-The elections here
with the exception of minor disorders
in some of the disaffected districts,
were followed tonight by serious riot
ing, which was only put down by most
vigorous action on the part of the po-
lice and the troops.
The rioting broke out in different
parts OF the city, as though by q pre-
concerted plan. Troops which had
been patrolling, and others that had
been held in reserve, were Immediate
ly ordered into action and they re-
peatedly charged the mobs, that in
places filled the streets, but without
effect.
The rioters used clubs, stones and
whatever other weapon was at hand,
and finally the troops were obliged 10
fire upon them, killing and wounding a
number Of them
This determined, action on the part
of the authorities seemed to have the
desired effect and shortly the mobs
were well dispersed. At u late hour
most of the Republican voters had
gone to their homes, but bands of
youths continued to demonstrate be
fore the churches. They confined their
disorders however, to shouting, and a
recurrence of the disturbances during
the remainder Of the night did not
seem probable.
With the exception of minor disor-
ders at AMOS and Alcantara the cleo
tons passed off quietly throughout
the country so far as present advices
indicate. In this city slight disturb
ances occurred during the day in GER
tain sections owing to the numbers of
electors who suspected that unfair
methods were being adopted.
There was much hooting at and de-
riding the police. but the latter did not
hesitate to scatter the crowds with
strong arm.

Up to midnight counting had not
commenced in many of the districts.
Strong police guards were assigned
to watch the urns throughout the
night. The ballot boxes, according to
the traditional custom, We're Installed
in the churches and the voting, due to
the agitation throughout the country
and the active campaign of the Repub-
leans, probably was the heaviest in
Portuguese history The vote cast and
the number of candidates makes the
count SLOW and because of commune
cation in the provinces it is unlikely
that the full returns will be in before
Tuesday.
Nevertheless. a large Monarchist
coalition majority, composed of the
two old "Rotative" parties, the Ma
Clerical and Franquist
groups is assured. Ninety-nine out Of
LAG deputies to be chosen already re :.
ported are Monarchists. In general
way the elected turned out as planned
by the parties in control. The Repub-
leans. who had but two seats in the
dissolved Parliament, increased their
representation to possible 20. In Lis
'oH sHeE swept me TOpullSC section OF
The city by Gerrymanders including
the outside districts offset in a meas
ure this advantage. The Republican
leaders are raising the cry of fraud
They insist that while government
pressure seemingly was relaxed the
old electoral machinery was in full
operation, because of the fear on the
part OF the government of a great Re
publican movement and therefore, the
elections do not represent in any way
the sentiment Of the country.
As the suffrage is limited to those
who can read and write, or who pay
certain direct taxes, the Republicans
contend that it was an easy matter for
the authorities to manipulate the reg
ister list against the Republican par
tisans among the masses, so per cent
of whom are illterate. Nevertheless
leaders like Machado, Almeida and
Cunha say that the seats they won
give them sufficient strength to wage
open war against the old regime as
soon as Parliament re-assembles.
The Monarchists apparently are sat
isfied with the result OF the election,
saying that the extravagant claims of
The Republicans are utterly disproved
