it was found that the group included

Tragic Fate Long Pursues a Family

the present Cumming generation, was
a sailor of Salem, Mass, and went
down with his ship when Miss Cum
ming was a young girl. Her father
was blown TO death In a boiler ex-
plosion in Salem He was a merchant
and simply happened along when the
boiler let loose. Only parts Of his
body were recovered. One sister was
breaking wood over her knee when
she fractured her kneecap. The leg
was amputated but gangrene caused
her death. Another was killed by a
SNOWFALL in which a stone was i'm
bedded and a third was caught while
packing a trunk The lid crushed her
head.
The unhappy fate of the family
seemed to descend to the branches, for
one of Miss Cummings nephews was
lost in the San Francisco earthquake
in one of the collapsed buildings which
took fire. A brother of this lad, En-
sign Matthews, had perished on the
Maine in Havana harbor These trag-
edies 80 preyed on the mind Of the
mother, Miss Cummings sister, that
she became violently insane and is
now in a Massachusetts asylum. Now
the last near relative of Miss Cum
ming Is in hospital, and 1t is impossi-
BILE to say whether she will escape
the family fate or not.

would not in the widest nightmares
imagine such enormous gates as are

They will be the largest gates in the

The structural steel that will go to

LANDMARK OF REVOLUTION

Much of the revolutionary history of
this country centers in New York city.
II seems strange, therefore, that no
few of the old personal---very. land
marks remain. At the dedication of
the old Jumel mansion as a public his
torical museum, Senator Depew called
attention to the fact that only three
buildings survived that period. These
are Fraunce's tavern, where Washing
ton bade farewell to his officers; st.
Paul's church, where he went immedi-
ately after his Inauguration, and the
picturesque Jumel mansion, at one
time Washington's headquarters. Few
buildings in America possess as great
and as varied an historical interest as
this colonial mansion which crowns
Washington Heights.
In 1858 Roger Morris built this i'm
posing mansion as gift to Mary Phil
lipse, the same Mary Phillipse whom
Washington courted in vain, and who
became Mrs. Roger Morris. Morris,
who was an officer in the British
army, had been a comrade of Wash
ington's and served with him in the
Braddock campaign. That was In 1855
and between that date and 1776 his
tory had been making very fast in this
country. Morris remained true to the
British flag, and when, in 1776. Wash

the irony of fate that the approach of
her former lover was the cause of
Mary Phillipse and her husband aban-

country. From September 16 to Oc-
tober 25, 1776, this former home of the
woman Washington desired to marry
served as military headquarters for

might easily destroy them, the gov
ernment has begun to build the gates.
The cost will be $5.500,000.
Of the 10000 tons of steel required,
the heaviest single pieces will weigh
about eighteen tons. The thousands
of individual pieces, numbered and fit
ted to go together as easily as chill
dren's blocks, will be shipped by
steamer via Baltimore and with them
will go more than four hundred skilled
structural steel builders from Pitts
burg to set them. The advance guard
of experts will leave here in Decem-
Der and the first work probably will
begin early in 1911.
The location of the 46 pairs of gates
will be, 20 at the Gatun dam on the
IA at Mirafiores, near the Atlantic en-
trance. The gates are designed TO
hold back water 47.4 feet deep in a
channel ITO feet wide, which means
a pressure of a million pounds. The
weight of single gate will be about
600 tons, and the dimensions are II
to so feet high, so to rs feet wide and

menS TO the Railroad Bill Adopted
f In the Senate.

Washington, May 14.-By a vote Of
81 to 10, the senate adopted modi'
ned form Of the Dixon long and short
haul amendment to the railroad bill.
The amendment represents the COM
bined efforts Of Republican, Demo
cratic and insurgent leaders, and II Ia
significant that Senator Nelson w.
Aldrlch defended 1t on the floor and
cast his vote In Its favor. The con-
census Of opinion Is that the amend
ment is contradictory in its terms and
defeats It's own purpose, or II this is
not 80, that 1t burdens the interstate
commerce commission with an I'm.
possible task. Senator Aldrich gave .
practical assurance he would not seek
the amendments defeat In conference.

Bacon for having surrendered to the
demand for a long and short haul
clause, the Rhode Islander declared i'm.
