ROBERT FULTON,
!. HENRY HUDSON
First Steamboat Makers
Given Much Honor.
LARGEST FLEET EVER MAsSED
Sailed Up the River-The
Greatest Pageant of All
Known History.

New York, Sept. 25.-Lavishly, i'm
perially, in fashion becoming to Amer
ica's Empire City, New York to-day,
in behalf of the entire civilized world,
honored the memory of Henry Hudson
and Robert Fulton by a tribute rs
splendid, as glorious and stupendous
as the achievements which the great
nations of two hemispheeres have un-
( tied to recall.
From the threats OF 100000 per-
sons, assembled from tar and near
from the soil of foreign lands as well
as from all quarters Of Uncle Sam 81
domain-from the cannon on a fleet
of war Titans of the sea, fleet great
er than any ever gathered together
before in single port; from an
assemblage Of water craft that form
ed itself into the Greatest marine pa
Jeant In history--from all these won
derful sources swelled the mighty
roar of welcome and jubliation Llat
began the first day Of the spectacu-
lar two weeks festival.
= Even the caprice Of wind and wave
failed to mar the unparalleled display,
for although as the days events be-
gan, mish0p 'threatneed to rob the
great marine parade of one OF its mos
picturesque features, it occasioned
only brief delay. At the start OF
the procession the Half Moon, " repli-
ca of the boat in which Hudson made
his explorations. and the Clermont, a
reproduction OF the first steam craft,
were in collision off Stapleton, the lat
ter being rammed as she attempted
TO cross the bow of the Half Moon.
For five minutes the two boats
were locked together, but when they
were pulled apart it was found that
neither had been seriously damaged.
The millions crowded on the shores
saw a thousand vessels, varying in
type from the one-mast catboat to the
mighty British man-of-war battieship
Inflexible. IIfty-seven warships,
representing the navies Of the Unit
ed States, Great Britain, Germany,
France, Italy, Holland, Mexico and Ar

ference; 100 steamboats, and ferry

STEEL IS LAID TO POND RIVER
Twelve Niles of New Road
Will Give a Direct Line
To St. Louis.

The residents of jacksonville will
have an opportunity to see the first

on October 10, when the new road
will be opened for traffic. The trains
will enter Madisonville on that date
according to the announcemnt CT the
management, and the road opened to
the public. Speculation has been rife
as to what time trains would be run
ming into the city, but this assurance
from the promoters fixes a definite
date for the opening of the new
line The citizens will turn out, in
full force TO witness the trains en-
trance into the city and hundreds
from points along the railroad and
elsewhere will be on hand to celebrate
with the railroad officials and inhab-
itants as the train comes into Mad

structure. Only eight miles more of
steel remains to be laid before the
road Is completed TO this place and IT,
is certainty that the first train will
be operated into this city between
October 5 and 10, the latter date be
ing the most likely.
Plans have been made for hand
some two-stury passenger station be-
tween the west "Y" and the two main
lirts Of the NJ, II. & Il. and l.. & \.
The building will be modern in every
respect and amply able To accommo-
date the public.
A lake covering seventy-five acres
will be made in the grove, now the
the NJ, fl. & E.. on one side and the
main linee of the l.. 4 n. railroad on
the other. This will insure suffi-
cient water supply for the railroad
company.
The revised lire of the loop, as ii
is called, of the l.. & n. railroad.

Twenty-Five acres of land have al
ready been secured from Frank RAM

EVIDENCE GAINED FROM LET

One of Men Captured Is Said to Have
Been in Palermo When De-
tective Petrosino Was
Murdered

CINCINNATI, June 10.-Having
rounded up and arrested nine out of
eleven alleged ringleaders of the Ohio
division of the Society of the Banana,
known as the black hand, . Postoffice
Inspector Holmes is busily engaged at
Columbus preparing for the preliminary
hearing of the prisoners.
The government will rely on the doc
umentary evidence secured in the two
pouches of letters found in the house
of Sam Lima when he was arrested at
Marion. Ohio. and letters found in the
possession of other prisoners to prove
that an deliberately planned organiza-
tion exists in the central west to eX
tort money,
Asked If any absolute proof had been
found connecting the Ohio black hand
with the murder of Lieutenant Petro-
sine in Sicily, Inspector Holmes said:
Il have no absolute proof that this
band actually had a hand in the New
York Italian detectives murder But We
do know Augustine Marfis, who was
arrested in Dennison, Ohio, was in
Palermo at the time of Petrosino's
death and that Marfisi returned to
America shortly after the murder
Marfisi's visit to Sicily at that time
may have been a mere coincidence. But
we do know that the band of which
Marfis is a member is organized ex-
actly like the Society of the Banana
today in Sicily"

Engineers Report Need for Waterway
from ST. Louis to Gulf Does
Not Justify Big Canal

WASHINGTON, June 10.-The pro-
posed fourteen-foot deep waterway
project from st. Louis to the gulf. re-
ceived a blow today when the board
of engineers reported to congress that
such a waterway is not desirable. The
waterway would cost $l28,000,00O for
construction and S6,000,000 annually
for maintenance, the engineers say.
The report of the regular board that
it is not desirable to construct a navi-
gable channel fourteen feet deep from
st. Louis or from Chicago to the mouth
of the Mississippi was based on the
conclusion of the special board that
only commerce originating from
sources that do not at present ship by
river would justify the great cost of a
fourteen-foot waterway Present and
prospective demands of commerce be-
tween Chicago and the gulf would be
adequately served, the board reports,
by a through nine-foot channel to the
gulf.

BUILD HOUSES IN TREES.
Some Mexieans Thus sleep Secure
From Quakes and Tiaers.


In order to protect their homes from
earthquakes many Of the natives in
the territory around Chilpancingo and
other towns In the state Of Guerrero,
In Mexico, live In trees. Some OF
these tree homes are Of large size and
are ingeniously constructed. Reeds
and grasses are interviewer with the

quently built In their branches. These
houses also afford protection from the
tigers and other wild animals which
are found In that region In large mum.
bers. II Is said that a tiger will not
attack Its prey unless 1t is upon the
ground.
The prime object Of elevating these
houses into the trees. however. is. as
mentioned. to keep them from being
shaken down by the severe earth
quakes which visit the Guerrero terri
tory at frequent intervals. The rock
ing of the earth gives the trees a
swaying motion. but does no damage
to the houses. In some localities whole
villages Of these tree homes are to be
seen. None Of them suffered damage
from the recent earthquakes which
wrought such ruin to the buildings
upon the ground.-New York Tribune.
