A CONTEST ON.

The election at Bristol, Va, is to be
contested by the "Drys." All the out
side influence possible is to be injected
into the case and Bristol is to see her
self handled by persons who are going
to take nice care of her. Many Of the
active workers in this contest indeed
the main persons in it reside elsew here,
and good many out of the State.
Tennessee is to furnish some money
and men to regulate Bristol. This is
no doubt much appreciated by the peo-
pie of Bristol, who, of course, are not
able to attend to their own affairs.
Most of these regulators rejoice in Of
fetal titles of some new tangled would
be society for the "prevention of cruel
ty to animals" The church is relegat-
ed to the hall of ancient and worthless
relics of the past, by these gentlemen
who have secured patent on piety.

Special 10 the EVENING NEWS.
Tottenville, Jan. 22:-Mrs. Will
liam Weir, her four small children
and her sister, Miss Alice Gaffney,
residing in Broadway, near Wood
avenue, Tottenville, were nearly suf-
focated by sulphur fumes at their
home about o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon.
Miss Gaffney, who has been con-
fined to the house with scarlet fever
for the past seven weeks, went out
yesterday for the first time. She
went to drug store and purchased
a sulphur candle with which to fu-
migate the house, in advance of the
men from the Board of Health.
Not having read the directions for
using 1t, she lighted the sulphur
candle in the room where her sister,
Mrs. Weir, and the four children
were. Soon they all began to gasp
for breath. All the time the candle
kept on burning and throwing out
it's deadly fumes. Miss Gaffney
managed to reach the door and her
cries were heard by Thomas Mar
shall, of Broadway, who is employ
ed in the sewer department, and he
ran into the house.
Thinking that there was fire, he
ran for water. He could hardly en-
ter the rooms. so thick were the
fumes from the sulphur. In trying
to put the candle out, he burned his
right hand severely with the sulphur
that was running from the plate on
which the candle stood. Mr.. Mar
shall opened every window and door
In the house and this probably saved
their lives. The fresh air soon re-
vived them and no physician was
called.

ARE DROPPED BY THE
ATLANTIC TERRA GOTTA GO.
Powell Is Elected
President Of
Combine.
MAY FIGHT IT

At the annual meeting of the
Atlantic Terra Gotta Company, held
In the New York Office of the com
pany yesterday, William H. Powell
the vice president. was elected presi-
dent, in the place of De Forest
Grant, who had held that position
since the combine of the several
? terra Gotta plants In this vicinity
was formed.
The other officers elected were
Samuel 8. Whitehurst, second vice
president; George p. Putnam, treas
urer; p. H. Hart. assistant treasur-
er and secretary. The directors
elected were Edward J. Hall, John
N. Partridge, William Manice and
P. H. Hart. The Office of first vice
president was left open. p. H. Hart
succeeds Dwight w. Taylor, who
was one of the Grant faction. He
and Madison Grant, another direc-
tor, who was counsel for the COM
pany, were also retired. Joseph
Wintedbottom, Jr, is still chairman
of the executive committee.
Mr.. Powell, who has been elected
president, was the owner of the
Rocky Hill plant before the consoli-
dation and has practically been in
charge since the recent trouble de-
veloped.
May Contest Election.
It has been said that the Grant
faction considers that the election
yesterday was Illegal and may con-
test 1t In the courts. An official of
the company said this morning that
the new management was not worry
ing, as the election was legal. 1t Is
predicted that several changes will
take place, one of which is the abol-
ishing of the position of general su-
perintendent, which was held by
Norman Grant, brother of the for
mer president Charles U. Thrall
has been acting as general superfn-
tendent since Mr.. Grant resigned.
Another change that is contemplat-
ed is that each plant shall have its
own drawing office, instead of one
central Office as now. With the
abolishing of the position of general
superintendent, each plant will have
a superintendent, who will be given
more power.
The company is looking forward
to a prosperous year. The drawings

ground that the antitrust law has

FERRYBOkT In CRASH
IN FOG THIS MORNING

New York, Jan. 22:-In the heavy
fog that hung over the harbor today
the ferryboat Pierpont, of the Ham
ilton avenue line, crashed into an
empty car float. The ferryboat was
badly damaged above the water line.
Her starboard cabin was partly
ripped away and the passengers and
teams on board we're thrown into a
panic. No one was badly hurt.
The Staten Island ferries took
about four times as long as ordinary
to make their trips, and the boats
from Brooklyn ran, according to
their shippers, on rag time" sched-
ules. Many collisions were narrow
ly averted by reason of the fact that
the boats crept along at snails
pace.
