"REV. Mr.. ROBSON AND SON"
Are Thought to Be Dr.. Crippen and
Ethel Leneve.

London, July 24.-According to the
latest reports received here by Scot
land Yard. DR.. Hdwley Crippen and
Ethel Leneve, as the Rev. Mr.. Robson
and son. booked passage at the last
moment and boarded the steamer
Montrose, which sailed from Antwerp
on July 20 for Montreal. The original
reports regarding the sailing of Grip
pen and his companion led the police
to the belief that they were passen-
gers on board the Sandman, which
left Havre on July Is for Montreal.
The steamer Laurentic on which In
spector Dew is a passenger. sailed
from Liverpool yesterday. Both the
Laurentic and Montrose are due at
Montreal on July 20.
Montreal. July 24.-The steamer
Sandman which left London on July
18th, bound for Montreal is due to
pass Father Point light, where a pilot
will board her on Thursday morning.
If DR.. Crippen is aboard as the London
police suspect, that fact will probably
not be known until the ship is within
100 miles of this side, because the Sar-
dinian's wireless equipment is limited
to that radius. The Allan Line agents
here say they know nothing about DR..
Crippen being on board the steamer.

One of the most difficult
engineering feats attempted by the

struction OF a sihpon under the
Colorado river at Yuma. Shafts
are to be sunk 100 feet deep on each
side Of the river and a tunnel built
under the river. When it is finished
75, 900 acres will be irrigated and
the improvement will cost $50, 900.
The tunnel is built IN soft, rocks
but the greatest difficulty is ex-
perienced with quicksand in build
ing the shafts.
In a short time the work on the
Pathfinder dam, in Wyoming, will
be completed, only the finishing
touches remaining and the building
of a few gates to hold the waters.
THE projects now under way

acres are already under water, said
Chief Engineer Davis. For next

in addition to the portion of the
$40. 100000 bond issued for work
on the projects already started and
those mapped out. The $2O.OUO,-

4 SHOCKING DEATH

One of the most shocking ac-
c;dcnts that lever occurred in Man.
haitian district, resulting in the
death Of the victim, occurred
between the hours Of p. m. Mon
day and I p. m. Tuesday says the
Manhattan Mail. when l.. +. Golish,
manager of the water company
there, fell down a well sustaining
injuries which resulted in his
death.
It will never be known just how
the ace icnr occurred. as he was
alone when it happened. but it is
generally supposed that he was
descending the we'll when a round
Of the isGocr about ten feet from
the top gave away, precipitating
him to the bottom, a distance of
aboGt 70 feet a platform a short
distance above the level of the
water was probably struck by the
falling body as there were
indications of it and his left leg
and hip were frightfuly cushed.
One very surprising feature of the
accident is that the unfortunate
man climbed the ladder to the
patform after the fall. and was
there found his back leaning agains {
the wall Of the well, with life
extinct.
As near IA many be learned MIR.
Golish started his descent about 4
p. IN. Monday. The next day a
neighbor of his, S. E. Smith noting
his continued absence and fearing
something wrong, went looking
for him.
The hunt resulted in the finding
of his remains in the well about
z pm. Tuesday. There is no
telling how many hours the man
suffered previous to is death DR..
Garner, who viewed thee remains
and assisted at the inquest, stated
that death had occurred at least
six h urs before the body was dis
cOvred and ascrihed the cause of
death to shock from the violent
injuries received.

talent for oratory and as a writer.
In 1856 hehad become famous, and
was invited to New York to
address the New England society
of New York City. He had with
great care prepared a speech for
the occasion, but when he looked
upon that assemblage of New
England men before him, he
determined to toss aside his
prepared address and to launch an
entirely unDrepared and un-
premeditated speech upon his
hearers. He spoke Of "The New
South" and when we'll under way
he said of the south "The light of
a grander day is falling on her
face. She is thrilling with the
consciousness of growing power
and prosperity. AS she stands
upright. full staturcd and equal
among the people of the earth,
breathing the keen air and looking
out upon tie expanded horizon,
she understands that her emanci-
patton came because through the
inscrutable wisdom of God her
brav" armies were beaten"
Then after saying that he had
no apologies to make, that his
people were honest, and after a
touching allusion to hs father and
his grave he continued in this
strain:
But sir. speaking from the
shadow of that memory which
honor as 1 do nothing else on earth,

gave his life was adjudged by

omniscient God held the balance
of battle in His aImi6hty hand, and
that human slavery was sweDt
forever from American soil, and
the American union was saved
from the wreck of war"
