This is one of the illustrations used by
Professor z. ID. Tubbs of Bates College,
in his lecture given in New Hall Friday
evening, TO give some little idea OF the
immenSity of the universe. Professor
Tubs subject was Among the Stars, !"
and while it had little to do with tech
meal astronomy, it was packed full oil
similar illustrations, only some of them
were of such greater magnitude as to De
utterly beyond grasp. Indeed, it would
not be inappropriate If he made the title
of the lecture "Incomprehensible I'm
mensity." The general impression which
it gives the ordinary nearer is that which
the speaker quoted as voiced by Carlyle,
in response to some figures giving astro
nomical msgnitudes, "Mon, that is ter
unbelievable" Comets came in fol
brief mention, and any apprehension
from the earth meeting the tail of Hal
ley's comet were shown to be absolutely
groundless. Professor Tubbs Is full o.
his subject, and a very effective speaker
and the audience were fully entertained
and interested for an hour. The Lecture
was given under the auspices OF TIT
High School Athletic Association, will

ROWDIES CAUSE RIOT.
Pull Brakes and Insult Women
on EleUdted Train.

Passengers on Ridgewood train of
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit were thrown
into q panic early this morning when
four men made a flying wedge through
the length of the four-car train. Every
thing was tried by the roudies that
would tend to upset the equanimity of
the passengers. many of whom were
women. The men sat on women's laps,
pulled their hats off, yanked bell ropes
and tried to put on the emergency
brakes. After a reign of terror the men
were placed under arrest by the police
reserves.
When the men began to pull the bell
ropes the guard of the last car. Arthur
Knight. attempted TO interfere. but was
abused and kicked for his trouble Some
of the women tried to gain the car
ahead, but in this they were prevented
by the gang, who shut the door and
put their weight against IL.
While the whole train was in an up
roar. the motorman sounded the alarm
calling the police. AS the train drew
into the Sumner avenue station the re-
serves from the Vernon and Hamburg
avenue stations rushed to the platform
and into the car. Here, after n spirited
fight, the four men were arrested. At
the Hamburg avenue station they gave
their names as Michael Hntz, of No. SIS
Grove street; Joshua Pinn of No. 149 Sd
street; John HabickS of No. AZ Franklin
avenue and Henry Hirt. of No. 2074
Hiu1rod street They We're all charged
with disorderly conduct and assault.

Niagara Falls n. Y. March 5.-Two
men, thrown from a little roWboat that
overturned in the current Of the Niagara
River one and a half miles above the
falls this afternoon. are reported by the
state reservation officials to have been
swept over the Horseshoe Falls
William Hill and James Cassidy were
at work on the reservation when they
saw q boat not far from the Canadian
shore, at a point known as Port Bay.
Two men IN the boat were bending over
the oars with all their power in an eff
fort to keep the bow headed against the
current. but at every stroke they lost
distance.
AS the boat slowly slipped downstream
into the more powerful rapids it rolled
over on its side and the men were tum-
bied into the water One man seen
again for moment Hill saw the other
come to the surface and struggle against
the fierce current with his head above
the water. Then he was Whirled under.
The overturned boat bobbed like cork
as il was swept toward the Horseshoe.
The suppostion is that the two bodies
were caught in an Undercurrent and
rushed over the brink.
Efforts to identify the two men have
heen unsuccessful.

GETS HIS PENSION.
Final Mishap Not the Ruin Of
iced Engineer.
TBy Telegraph to The Tribune !


Chicago, March 5.-Elbridge E. Reyn-
o!ds. a Lake Shore locomotive engineer,
of Elkhart, Ind, fought the battles of
life for more than half a century On
his last run, at the end OF which was a
pension for the seventy-year-old veteran,
the injector went wrong, the engine flew
past a block signal and crashed into a
freight train.
Discharged instead of honorable retire
ment was the company's reply. in ac-
cord with strict rules. Reynolds said
the company was right, that he had
erred and the penalty was merited.
Then the officials. who had known the
engineer for decades and knew his rec
ord had not one black mark against it
until that last mishap. reviewed their
ruling. Technically Reynolds had been
retired before that final run, and hence
he could not be discharged, they held.
The engineer was placed on the retired
with honor list and his pension was
given him.
