VENUS OVERTHROWN
Believed Some Envious Women are

Providence. Nov. 2s-The Statue of
Venus, long the pride of Providence

its pedestal snI3s time last night.
Island women who have shown jeal-

outrage.
This morning Venus was discovered on
the steamboat wharf balanced in such
position that impact OF the steamer when
1t came up TO the wharf would topple IL
over into the water. There II was seen
by the officers and was mistaken by
them for some fair devotee of physical

instead OF reaching the water 1t lodged

The statue, commonly known as THE
Island OF Venus" was presented TO the
island some ten years ago by Latimer
Mott. of New York, who spent summer
on the island. 1t is said 10 be an exact
copy of the famous Statue by Biotti and
so the popular belief that IL was mod

without foundation.

place In the park

farmer this morning. has always been

Big RAIL ORDER
PLACED BY PENNSY
10000 Tons for 1911 De-
livery as a Beginning.

New York. Nov 29.-Wall street had It
officially from Philadelphia that the
Pennsylvania Railroad has ar last given
its order for 150.0O0 tons of steel rails for
1911 delivery. The order, which is con-
siderably larger than had been expected,
was distributed among the United States
Steel Corporation, the Lackawanna Steel
Company, the Pennsylvania Steel Com
pany. the Cambria Steel Company, and
the Bethlehem Steel Company
1t Is understood that the order does
not provide for all OF the eompany's
needs in 1911. Later orders are expected
with a return OF better business. In 1910
the company at first ordered 10000 tons.
which amount was increased TO 30, 600
tons by foliow-up orders.
To-day there was some talk about a
00.000-ton order from the New York
Central. Besides that road, the Atchison,
the St. Paul, Laekawahna, New Ha-
ven, and the Boston and Maine have
been for some time calculating their 1911
orders.
Dunkirk. N Y. Nov. 29.-Orders have
been placed with the American Locomo-
tive Company by the New York Central
lines for 323 passenger and freight loco
motives, TO be delivered in 1911. The

to-day when 1t was learned that Senator

In January, have buried the hatchet and
Will be friends in the future.
Kern charged, after Shively's election
two years ago. that the brewers bought
legislators in the caucus, and that he was
defeated and Shively nominated by brew
cry money. Shively was not charged
with being a party TO the deal, but .he
took offense and opposed the nomination
Of Kern for the SenatOrship at the State
convention.
1t is understood that Gov. Marshall
acted as peacemaker and brought the two
men together at his ONCE. He wanted
them to work cordially together in the
Senate, and bluntly told them so. II is
said, What passed between them or
whether Kern made any apologies or re-
fractions of his oft-repeated statement
