BIGGEST STEAMSHIP OF ALL.
Cunard Liner to Lay Down Great
Ship for Luxury, Not Speed.

London, Nov. 19.-The Cunard
steamship company has invited
Messrs. John Brown & Co., of Clyde
bank and Messrs. Swan & Hunter, of
Wallsend, to submit specifications for
the construction of the largest steam
ship in the world which is intended
for the Liverpool-New York service.
The vessel will be S95 feet in length
and will have a breadth CT 95 feet.
She will be of $4,000 tons displace-
ment and will be propelled by turbine
engines which are expected to develop
a speed of twenty-three knots. She
will be equipped for carrying oil fuel
and will cost s10,000,000. The
plans for the new ship have been ap-
proved by Lloyds.
The new leviathan will be of the
floating hotel type and speed will be
sacrificed to luxury.

Receiver for Liquor Company.

Columbia, Nov. ia receiver
was this morning, at Camden, named
for the Richland Distilling Company
which has come into notoriety in
connection with the old State dis
pensary. Mr.. Alva NJ. Lumpkin, of
this city, was the receiver named by
Judge Shipp. The papers were filed
in Columbia this afternoon.
The Richland Distilling Company
is charged in the complaint with hav-
ing defrauded the State of South
Carolina out of s5OO,0OO. A collu-
sion between the officers of the COM
pany and the members of the State
board of dispensary directors is al
legged. That the company rebated the
directorate and overcharged the
State of South Carolina for whiskey
sold are allegations in the complaint.
The order issued by Judge Shipp
was on ex parte showing of Attorney
w. F. Stevenson, of Cheraw, for the
State.

mer because of his alleged attentions
to a widow by whom he was en-
ployed. He was tied to pole along

had received his coat was left to the
mercy of the mosquitoes. Sychort was
rescued by a train crew several hours
afterwards and spent some time in

led to tar and feather Sychort be-
cause the latter was paying too
much attention to the widow" and
they wanted to save her children

Is Hadden Hooper Insane?

Lexington, Nov. 20.-That Had
den Hooper, one of the young white
men held IN = the Lexington jail
charged with murder and robbery in
connection with the killing of Paul
A. Williams, of Columbia, on the Ha-
genbeck- Wallace circus train on the
night of October 2, last, young man
of unsound mind and judgment is the
: declaration of John H. Allen, post
master at Osborne, Ga, in letter to
Postmaster Leapheart, of this place.
Mr.. Leapheart has received the fol-
lowing letter from Mr.. Allen:
do you know anything of young
man in your county Jail by the name
of Hadden Hooper, who is charged
with murder and robbery? If so, will
you please give me an outline of the
evidence?
Il know Hadden Hooper PERSONAL
ly and know that he is not young
man of sound mind and judgment.
"Hadden Hooper was once school
boy of mine, so I will appreciate it
very much if you will give me the
circumstances in the case.
IS. J. Hooper, of Visoga, Ca, re-
ceived a short letter stating that
Hadden Hooper, his son, would go
on trial for murder November %.
Yours truly,
JOHN H. ALLEN, P. NJ
The Lexington postmaster is un-
able to give the desired information,
because the officers have not divulg-
ed the evidence against any of the
men. When asked if he knew Mr..
Allen Hooper, he said that he did
not and it was a long time before
he could recollect having gone to
school to a man by that name. While
nothing has been given out by those
who are in position to know the cir
cumstances surrounding the awful
murder of Paul Williams, enough
has been secured to safely state that
Hooper is alleged to have been one
of the ring leaders in the murder, or
either he is the victim of circum-
stances forced upon him by the real
murderers. Hooper is sallow-faced
youth not over 21, and does not talk
;n+o11ioonf1v on any Snhioct and his
strange actions have attracted the
attention of the jailer and others
who have been keeping a watch on
the Jail.

EXPLOSION WRECKED EXPRESS.
Boiler of Freight Engine Exploded
and Went Into the Air.

Altoona, Pa, Nov. 1S.-A thrilling
and disastrous wreck on the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, resulting in the death
Of a locomotive engineer and two
firemen and the injury of three other
trainmen occurred this afternoon at
Thirtieth street near the Western
limits of this city. The dead are:
Engineer D. H. Rorabaugh, Cone
maugh, Pa; Fireman Ira Reed, Pitts
burg; and Fireman A. c. Furlong,
Conemaugh, Pa.
The injured are at the Altoona hos
pital. A fast freight train westbound
was just starting up the mountain,
helped in the rear by two locomotives
when the boiler of the second Of the
rear engines exploded. The boiler
rose from the engine frame and was
hurled through the air just an ex-
press train composed entirely of ex-
press cars, also westbound, came
along on the next track. The express
train was being drawn by two loco
motives. The first engine struck the
falling boiler and hurled it over an
cmbankment 800 feet from where 1t
had left the engine trucks. The i'm
pact derailed both locomotives haul
ing the ex3ress train and threw them
against the freight train knocking
over several freight cars.
When the explosion occurred, En-
gineer Rorabaugh, who was In
charge of the engine that exploded,
was thrown into the midle of the
wreckage and crushed under the ten
der of one of the express train en-
gines. His fireman, A. c. Furlong,
was burned and scalded and died in
the Altoona hospital two hours later.
Reed was thrown under express
train engine No. 2416, of which he
was fireman, and instantly crushed
to death. Brakeman Riddle of the
freight train is probably fatally in
jured.
The roadbed was torn up and the
track twisted in all shapes, the won
der being that the fatalities were not
greater.
The escape of Engineer Winter Of
engine 2416 without any injuries
was almost miraculous.
Railroad shop experts who exam
ined the exploded boiler declared that
the explosion was caused by low wa
ter.
An eastbound passenger train COM
ing down the mountain narrowly es-
capped running into the wrecked
freight train, being stopped only
short distance away.

KIRKLAND TELLS SAD STORY.
Relates Events Previous to Suicide
of Wife.

Camden, Nov 1S.--In state
ment, made tonight, Sam R. Kirk
land, who this afternoon was ac-
quilted of the murder Of his wife by
Inducing her to commit suicide, told
of the happenings of the day Of the
tragedy and cleared up some of the
matters that on trial were in doubt.
When 1 came home," stated Mr..
Kirkland, my wife asked me to
get into the buggy and we drove
off. We went in the direction Of
Friendship church. AS We neared
the yard my wife almost broke
down; I thought, for she COM
menced to say: There's the
little brook she used to cross as
she came to church to learn the les
sons that l, too, tried to teach her of
right living and virtue Then, as
we came nearer the church yard and
were within sight of the baptismal
pool, my wife said: There's where
Mary was baptized. Poor little girl.
You know, Sam, the folks will blame
me more for her condition than you,
for she was with me most of the time
while you were away, and l am re-
sponsible for her bringing up. Then
I told her of what l had done in Co.
lumbia and we decided to go to a
woman we knew, further on in the
country. We wanted to ask her
what sort of place that was in Co.
lumbia, to which oupdaughter might
be sent.
In the meantime, we stopped the
buggy and l wanted to take drink.
1 took out my knife and pulled the
stopper and handed the knife to my
wife to hold. That was while We
were still in the church yard. To
my horror the first thing l knew my
wife was trying to cut her throat.
That's why you heard them say on
the trial that my wife's face was
bloody; That there was blood on her
bonnet and that spots of blood were
on my shirt. Of course, there was a
struggle for me to take the knife
away. That is why the ground may
have been torn up.
Seeing that my wife wanted to
kill herself, turned around and we
went back home. AS we got into
the yard as my daughter testified, l
said: Belle, go on into the house
and for Gods sake behave yourself
l meant for her to do just what l
said.
LAS far as what happened after
ward, l know nothing. l was in one
room and she in another. The first
thing l knew Belle was on fire and
we were rushing out to her in the
yard. This trial has cost me money
and trouble, and l believe it was
brought by some one, out of spite, to
cause that trouble for me. was
innocent Of any knowledge of my
wife's suicide until it happened
