NEGRO KNOCKED OUT.

Charles Thomas, gigantic negro,
walked into the pool room and tobacco
store of Charles Wright, at Winchester,
Yesterday, shouting at the top OF his
voice: Pm better than any white man
living, and | don't care who knows 1t. "
A. shannon, tobacco salesman, who
stood behind the counter, jumped the
obstruction, and the negro went down
with blow in the face before the
words had hardly left his mouth.
Shannon, who is a small man, jumped
on the PROSTATE black, and repeatedly
struck heavy blows on the negro's
head and face Thomas was uncon-
scious when bystanders pulled Shannon
from him, and difficulty was expert
cnced in reviving the big negro. The
negroes have become very impudent
since the Reno fight returns were
learned, and there have been many
minor clashes between members OF
the races.
As result Of the Jeffries-Johnson
fight, the younger element OF negroes
in Winchester is causing trouble.
Milton Montgomery, negro, is IN
jail charged with making insulting
remarks to Miss Ruth Sanford, daugh-
ter of Charles r. Sanford, well-known
citizen. Miss Sanford and several girl
companions were returning from a
party late Tuesday night when the
negro jumped from behind porch
and seized Miss Sanford. The screams
of the young woman frightened the
negro off. He was captured later.

DIRIGIBLE AIRsHIP LINE.

Newport's wealthy summer residents
are to have a new sensation this year.
The novelty will be dirigible airship
line, the first in America. With his
machine already on the ground, Stuart
Davis. who represents the Zodiac Diri-
gible Company, of New York, is hust-
ing work on the big aerodrome where
the big flier will berth after its yoy-
ages via Rocky Point to Scarboro
Beach, at Narragansett pier. 1t IS ex-
pected that the air line will be in ope-
ration within six weeks. The diriglble
was quietly brought into New York on
Monday by Davis and was shipped to
Newport at once. Just as soon as the
first aerodrome is ready the dirlgible
will be inflated and tried out. Already
scores of applications for seats have
been received and if the plan proves
successful the company will duplicate
its venture at other summer points
along the coast.
The Zodiac as the first airship is
named, is 100 feet long and VIII carry
six persons for two hours. 1t is OF the
French make and has already made
many flights over Paris. A French
crew will be imported to run the flier
on its early trips.
Like the United States government
dirigibIe, the Zodiac is non-rtgid in
type, having no metal frame like the
Zeppelin. The total mount Of gas IN
the bag amounts to about 10000 cubic
feet The frame underneath, in which
the passenger car is built, is made OF
wood and steel. The craft is to sail
only on calAi days. The trip probably
will be made within an hour. For or
binary traffic it is proposed to run the
craft three or four times each day. The
tariff rate has not been fixed. 1t will
be based upon the estimated time con-
sumed in fight. 1t is probable that
$500 will be charged TO charter the
craft for an afternoon.

EXCURSION STEAMER AFIRE.

Heroic work on the part OF her crew
and the splendid behavior Of her IL
passengers combined to avert a serious
loss of life when fire was discovered on
the old-fashioned three-deck excursion
steamer Grand Republic, sister ship OF
the ill-fated General Slocum, rs she
turned into the Narrows OH her way
from Rockaway Beach, to New York
about 9 O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
Enyeloped in pail OF thick black
smoke, with the flames shooting
heavenward from its starboard side
It's siren pulled down to the last notch,
the big boat raced to the nearest land
ing place. the dock of the Crescent
Athletic Club, Bay Ridge, and landed
its passengers in safety.
Little more than 20 minutes elapsed
from the time smoke was seen belch-
ing out of one Of the gangways leading
to the main deck until the thankful
passengers were hugging each other on
shore, but so rapidly did the fire burn
that in that short interval it had eaten
its way through the three decks, COM
pletefy destroying about 10 or 20 feet OF
the boat just abait amidships on the
starboard side.
The fire started in the cooks galley
and shot up through the old paddlebox,
the latter giving it all the ventilation it
needed. Before it was extinguiShed by
the crew and several score of Brook
lyn fremen, it did about $1,000
damage.
Fortunately, there was only hand
full OF people on the boat, and, with
the exception OF three women who be-
came hysterical, they all kept their
senses and followed the instructions
given them boy the crew.
Had the fire broken out a few hours
earlier when the boat was conveying
1000 persons, mostly women and chill
dren, from New York to Rockaway
Beach, it is almost certainty that
there would have been sea tragedy
which would have come pretty near
paralleling the burning OF the General
Slocum six years ago.
More than 1000 lives were lost when
the latter boat burned up in the East
river that fateful summer day.
The shrieking OF the Grand Repub-
lies whistles started scores OF craft of
all kinds racing toward her at top speed
to render aid.
The noise brought thousands to the
windows and reofs of skyscrapers, and
it didn't take them a great while to
discern the smoke-hidden excursion
boat speeding toward the Brooklyn
side in an effort to make landing.
Field glasses made it an easy matter to
distinguish the name of the boat from
the flag which poked itself out OF
the blackened mass, and in compare
lively short time the city was ringing
with the news that the Grand Republic
was on fire. There was great relief
when word was received that the pas
sengers had been landed in safety.
