TRIP in II DAYS
STEAMER MAURITANIA IS AFTER
ALL RECORDS.
Loads Hurriedly at New York for Re.
turn Trp-Leaves After
SO Hours.

New York, Dec. 17.-Thirty-eight
hours after she put in at her docks the
Mauretania departed again at 6 o'clock
tonight and it was hoped to complete
the round trip from Liverpool in 10
days n thus establish a new worlds
record. On board was W. R. Holt the
British journalist, who came over to
do America in the 3S hours between
trips.
The Mauretania was ready to sail
shortly after noon, although Captain
turner had expected to have his hands
full in getting ready for the scheduled
departure at 6 o'clock. The 900 tons
OF cargo, principally apples, was stored
by swarms Of longshoremen.
The bunkers received their 5000 tons
OF coal from a fleet Of SO barges. The
ships laundry, 10000 pieces of linen,
rushed ashore the minute the Maure-
tan1a locked yesterday morning. was
pack again and the refrigerators were
stocked three-quarters of an hour be-
fore the sailing time, the last Of the
thousands of Christmas mail sacks left
the postoffce and were rushed to the
pier. The $50 cabin passengers climb
ted aboard and the Mauretania backed
into the river.
Captain Turner hopes to touch at
queenstown Thursday at midnight. If
The does, he will establish a worlds rec.
ord for the round trip.

Railroad Men Will Arbitrate.

Washington Dec. II. - Chairman
Knapp Of the interstate commerce
commission, has received information
that both parties to the controversy
over wages between 81 railroads oper-
ating west of Chicago and the Brother
hood Of Locomotive Engineers, have
agreed to a mediation under the Erd-
man act.
The mediation originally was re-
.quested by the officials of the rail-
roads. Subsequently the mediators
communicated with the Brotherhood.
whose officials also agreed to a medi.
alton.
The likelihood is that the controversy
may go to arbitration in which event
the two parties will select an ar.
rbitratorr and the mediators a. third.
The findings of the board of arbitration
Will be binding upon both parties to
the dispute.

GAS AND DYNAMITE EXPLODE IN
POWER HoUsE-THIRTEEN
KNOWN DEAD.
MANY PERSONS MISSING
Shock Wrecks Fire Station and Delay,
cd Prompt Help-Trolley Car
Filled With Students Blown
From Track.

New York, Dec. 19.-At $3.50 this af-
%ternoon it was ascertained that thir-
teen persons lost their lives, fifty were
injured and 1000 people badly shaken
up in the explosion of the car lighting
gas tanks and dynamite in the new
six-story power station of the New
York Central railroad, under course Of
construction, at Fifteenth and Lexing-
ton today.
Nine bodies have been recovered and
the bodies of four Workmen are be-
lieved to be in the wreckage. A trolley
car filled with high school students
was blown from the tracks on Lexing-
ton avenue. Four passengers were
killed and others were injured. Fire
Chief Croker says that in his opinion
the first explosion was that of light
ing gas and the second explosion that
of a hundred weight Of dynamite which
lay within fifty feet of the gas tank.
New York, Dec. 19.-Twelve persons
were killed, two of them women, and
thirty were injured in a double ex-
plosion Of gas and dynamite in the
new electric power house of the New
York Central railroad shortly after 8
o'clock this morning.
The force of the explosion shatter-
ed hundreds of windows in the big
hotels and apartment houses in the
neighboring blocks near the big rail-
road terminal causing great alarm
among the guests.
The dynamite blast picked up q
northbound trolley car, lifted It into
air and sent it crashing down upon an
automobile which was passing along
the other side of the street. Four of
the passengers were killed and every
one in the car was injured.
The railroad service was temporarily
interrupted. The new s%ub-station
power house, where the explosion oc-
CURED, is at Fiftieth street and Lex
ington avenue, which is half a dozen
blocks north Of the Grand Central
station.
The shock which could be felt for
many blocks partly wrecked a fire en-
CINE house nearby and prevented the
firemen from getting their apparatus
into the street.
The power house, which is built Of
stone and brick n six stories high,
caught fire after the explosion and the
interior was practically burned out.
Just what caused the double explosion
probably may never be known.
Officials Of the railroad learned that
there were many workmen in the
building at the time of the explosion,
and that very few Of them had been
accounted for. In a Bible Teachers
Training school on Lexington avenue.
directly opposite the power house, 125
men and women who were on their
way to breakfast were thrown to the
floor by the blast. Many Of the men
and women were injured and several
of them were taken to hospitals. ALI
the windows in the building were
blown in and the ceiling fell.

holly, cleaning with white napery and
tWinkling glass and all lit with rosy
candles, it sets the heart aglow, be-

The dining room is the heart of the
house and its great day is Christmas
day. 1t is really very little trouble to
decorate it for a Christmas dinner,
md dressing the table cannot be
spoken Of as a trouble-it is a pleas
1re.
The dining room must be entirely
slean-the windows newly washed and
The walls and furniture wiped off and
polished up a bit, before the placing
Of decorations begins. These should
be simple and in green so as not to
distract the attention from the table.
II a hanging lamp or a chandelier
Is suspended over the table, nothing
Is much more effective than the fes-
toons OF green from lamp to the cor
ners of the room. Ropes of ever
green are made by cutting off small
branches and winding the stems with
dark cord or heavy black thread. The
lamp, or chandelier supports, may be
dressed with sprays of evergreen and
holly and the evergreen festoons ar
ranged along the walls, underneath
the plate rail, the festoons to be
caught up with sprays of holly.
Branches of green over the windows
and door castings and wreaths pinned
at each window, on the curtains, are
the time-honored Christmas decora-
lions that cannot be improved upon
and are dear because familiar.
