FATALITIES ON WARSHIP
Near Norfolk, Virginia,
Results Fatally.

Washington, d. C.-Three coal
passers are dead and seven machin-
lists and firemen injured as the result
Of oil catching fire on the battleship
North Dakota. This report was re-
ceived at the navy department from
Admiral Schroeder, commander-in-
chief of the Atlantic fleet.
A special telegram to the Norfolk
Ledger-Dispatch from Old Point Com
fort, said that seven men were killed
and 100 injured, while other reports
gave varying figures. and also differed
as to the accident.
The North Dakota was launched at
Quincy, Mass, Nov. 10, 1908, and was
at the time the most powerful battle
ship afloat. She was bigger, faster.
and more formidable than any of the
British Drednaughts, along whose
lines she was built.
The North Dakota cost the govern.
mem $10,000,000.

THOUSANDS SEE PAGEANT
Great Religious Spectacle Closes the
.Eucharistic Congress at
Montreal, Quebec.

Montreal, Quebec.-A religious pa
geant, as rich in devotional emotion
as sacred imagery, and as orderly in
behavior as it was diverse in nation
ality and huge size, closed the twenty
first International Eucharistic con-
gress, held this year for the first time
in the Dominion of Canada.
Visitors from the United States
were especially impressed with the
magnitude, splendor and reverence of
the procession, which marched four
miles through the city streets, the
host at its head, to Mount Royal,
above the city. A modest estimate
is that there were 100000 in line, and
that 100000 viewed it from where best
they could
1t took the long and brilliant file
four and one-haf hours to pass city
hall, and though 1t began to move at
noon for Notre Dame, it was o'clock
when the papal legate. Cardinal Vim
cezo Vannutelli, placed the host,
housed in golden monstrance, on
the altar Of the repository built for It
at the foot of the mountain.

JURY IN CHICAGO ExONERATES
ILLINOIS LEGISLATOR.
Verdict Is Greeted With Cheers and
Friends Participate in a
Wild Scene.

Chicago.-The jury in the Lee
O'Neil Browne sensational bribery
case returned verdict of not guilty.
The finding of the jury was greeted
with cheers the bailiffs could not
check. Brownies friends crowded
about him, shaking his hand and con-
graduating him and his counsel.
Browne, as soon as the verdict was
read, turned to his counsel and his
friends, who rushed to his side, and
said:
Il am not surprised. l knew it
could not be otherwise. No body of
twelve men could believe me guilty
of such a crime"
States Attorney Wayman said .
THE verdict speaks for itself. The
public knows what the evidence is"
Wild scenes followed the rendering
of the verdict. For the first time in
years a courtroom crowd cheered and
yelled upon the rendering of the YER
dict. The yells of the crowd were
heard for blocks and five hundred
prisoners in the county Jail sent back
an answering yell.
Judge Kersten rose and above the
tumult his voice was heard: Arrest
those men; preserve. order"

BIG CAR FERRY Is LOST
Fate of Pere Marquette Boat coun-
eerpart of Disaster in
Hugo's Book.

Ludington, Mich.-Thirty lives were
lost when the Pere Marquette car
ferry No. is, bound from Ludington
to Milwaukee, went to the bottom OF
Lake Michigan half way across the
lake.
The dead include Captain Peter Kill
ty of Ludingto; S. F. Sezepanek Of
Worcester, Mass. purser and wireless
operator, whose signals of distress
brought assistance to the sinking ves-
sci, and two members of the crew OF
car ferry No. II, who lost their lives
in an effort to rescue the, crew of No.
18.
This was her first trip on her regu-
lar run. The boat was in service all
summer, plying with excursionists be-
tween Chicago and Waukegan, Ill. Its
last excursion trip of the season was
made last Monday, when 1t carried
5000 Labor Day pleasure sekers TO
Waukegan and return.
Freight cars on No. 1S got loose In
the gale and practically battered the
ship to pieces.
Two or three hours after the first
wireless distress signal was picked up
here, a message was received from No.
II, which evidently also heard the
IS. o. s." and had gone to the rescue
of No. IS, stating that all aboard were
saved.

Is the speedy motor car an obsta-
Gle to punctuality? 1t would seem So
Certainly the habit of arriving late at
the theater and other places of enter
tainment is growing with the multi
plication of the means of rapid trans
portation. 1t is seldom that play
or program is not marred or interrupt
ed By these late arrivals. And the
disturbance is greater where motor
cars carry the larger number ef the
attendants. Does this mean that those
who have to depend on the street cars
are more apt to give themselves rea-
sonable time than are those who
have gotten into the habit of think
ing that neither time nor distance
counts when the automobile is avail
able? At any rate the habit is a bad
one.

NOT THE TIME FOR THAT
Scotsmen Objected to Mixture Of Good
- Whisky and Religious Con.
versation.

Owen Seaman, editor Of Punch, was
the principal guest at dinner Of the
London Authors club recently, which
was followed by discussion on
"Humor." Mr. Seaman began with g.
story deprecating the spelling of g.
good dinner by any discussion at all.
There we're three characters in the
story-a bluebottle and two Scots
men. The story at once struck note
of probability by showing the Scots
men drinking whisky. The bluebottle
buzzed on the pane; otherwise si-
lence reigned.
This was broken by one of the
Scotsmen trying to locate the blue
bottle with geological exactitude. Said
the Scotsman:
Sandy, I'm thinking If yon fly is g.
birdie or beastie."
The other replied: Man, don't spoil
good whisky with religious converse
ton."

PIRATES LOOT A STEAMER
They Kill the Owners, Wound Many
of the Crew, and Bind All
Travellers.

Harbin, Manchuria-A band of brig
ands, disguised as passengers, held
up Russian steamer south of this
port and, after desperate fighting, ov-
ercame the crew and robbed the pas
sengers. In attempting to defend the
ship, the owners, two Russians, were
killed, and many of the Chinese crew
wounded, as were such of the eighty
Chinese passengers as offered resist
ance. When the pirates were in con-
trol of the situation they bound the
passengers, the crew, Russian sailor
and two Russian women, and took the
valuables of the captives at their leis-
ure.
A Russian gunboat was sent in pur-
suit of the outlaws.

TAFT EYES NEW STATES
President to Speak Word of Warning
to Those Who Make Con-
stitutlons.

Beverly, Mass.-When the proper
time comes, President Taft will have
something to say about the constitu-
tions of Arizcra and New Mexico the
new states which his insistence has
made full members of the Union.
Advice was recently given by Col.
Roosevelt to the people of the new
states to leave a loophole for the
amendment of their constitutions.
Whether President Taft agrees with
this sentiment is not known. He has
adopted policy of wise silence re-
garding the declarations of the for

Changing the map of Europe" is a
phrase that had grim significance
during the greater part of the last
century. There were people with long
memories who knew that changes in
the map Of Europe as rule were
brought about by war; But there is a
possibility of a peaceful change of the
map of Europe by Prince Nicholas of
Montenegro. He proposes when his
principality becomes a kingdom an
event that is to be celebrated with ap-
propriate brillianey this month-its
name shall be altered to Zeta, which
is what is was called in ancient times.
Map-makers will take notice.

COLONEL PlAISTED OF AUGUSTA
DEFEATS FERNALD FOR Gov
ERNoR BY 5000.
3CONGRESSMEN Defeated
Guernsey Is Lone Republican Con
sressman to be Reelected
Both Parties Are Claiming
the Legislature.

Augusta, Me- The state election
was reminder of that other day, long
ago, when Maine went "hel-bent for
Governor Kent"
Frederick w. Plaisted, whose father
was once governor of the Pine Tree
state, was elected chief executive ov-
er Bert NJ. Fernald, the Republican
candidate for reelection, by about s.
900 plurality. Plaisted is at present
the Democratic mayor of this, the cap
ttal city of this rock-ribbed Republi
can state.
Returns from 535 election precincts
out of G2S, gave Plaisted G4,65S; Fer
nald 56,9SS. The same districts in
1908 gave Davis 53,694; Cobb, 61,191.
These figures show Republican loss
of per cent Democratic gain of 16
per cent, and If the same percentage
is maintained on the balance of the
returns, will give Plaisted a plurality
of 6,600 The delayed returns, how
ever, are likely to cut down Plaisted's S
indicated plurality by about 1900.
Old Congressman Defeated.
But more surprising than the elec-
tion OF Plaisted is the overturn in the
First, Second and Third congression-
al districts. In the First district,
Pennell has beaten Archer C. Kinds,
Speaker Cannons parlamentarian in
the Second district, McGillicuddy has
defeated Swnsey, and S. w. Gould has
defeated Congressman Burleigh in the
Third. Burleigh comedies his defeat.
Frank E. Guernsey, Republican, was
reelected in the Fourth district.
