OUTAT MUSCATINE|
Ice in Mississippi Moves With
out Causing the Slightest
Damage.
GRADUALLY FLOATS AWAY
Leads to Hope of Similar Performs
ance Here-Cold Weather
Delays Program.

Hope that the breaking up of the
ice in the Mississippi river will not be
attended by any damage is strength
ened by the manner of exodus of the
crystal covering of the stream at Mus
catine. The first movement took place
there Thursday, but it moved only a
few rods Saturday the field opened
up from below and gradually section
after section broke away and fioated
down stream. Today the river was
clear with the exception of a fringe
here and there along shore. The high
bridge connecting with the lower end
of this county, of which a pier was
moved by n shifting of the Zee during
the winter, escaped this time without
the slightest damage.
Delayed Here by Cold.
The turn of the weather for the
colder has apparently delayed the
clearing of the river here for several
days, and should the cold continue.
1t might be for weeks. At the same
time, the wind has a tendency to break
the field and loosen it from the shore,
and a few warm days following will
very likely see a general movement.

COLBY DINNER TO
HUGHES ECHO OF
WATER BILL FIGHT
---.-------
Leaks Out That Host and Guest
Discussed State Comfy
Clause.

Here is an Interesting aftermath of
the water problem that the Legisla-
ture settled in it's closing hour by the
passage of the McCran bill:
Telegraphic dispatches of April O.
the date set for the final adjournment
of the New Jersey Legislature-stated
that Everett Colby entertained Gov
ernor Hughes, of New York State, at
dinner in the Union Club in New York
\city. The dispatch further stated that
hen questioned by newspaper man
Z. Colby declared that the affair was
lirely personal and that there was
1hothing of Legislative, business or po-
litfcal import therein"
Since the dinner 1t has leaked out
that the real object of the banquet
was the discussion of the "State COM
ity" clause in the Van Syckel amend
ments to the water bill. Mr.. Colby,
who represented the Hudson County
Water Company in the fight to destroy
the water conservation policy of the
State, confidently expected that the
"comity" amendment would be adopted
Had the amended McCran bill passed
the Governor of New York State would
probably have taken advantage of the
"oomity'' clause by applying to the
Qtuernor of New Jersey for water
Hnt it didn't. Hence the amusing echo
of the water case.

Clear Names of Innocent.
[snecial 70 the Newark Star. ]

JERSEY CITY, April s.-Mark A.
sullivan, on behalf of the Hudson As
serh,ymen, today sent the following
open letter to Governor Fort:
Trenton, n. j.
Hon. ]. Franklin Fort:
my Dear Governor-For the past
day or two there have appeared in
the newspapers stories concerning the
alleged scandalous conduct of members
of the House of Assembly during the
closing hours of the recent session.
SHOULD the charges be allowed to
pass without investigation the fair
name of our State and the reputation
of every member of the Legislature
viii be tarnished.
.sThe stories are of such a character
and involve such public officials that
they have undoubtedly spread and ex-
cite unfayorable comment all over the
United States.
.The necessity for action is pressing.
What that action shall be must rest
with YOU as the Governor of the State
have received indignant communica-
tions from the Hudson county MEM
hers calling on me to demand an in
vestigation in order that their names
may be cleared.
I'm Justice to the State therefore,
and to the Individual Assemblymen. the
Hudson County members ask that the
charges be Immediately Investigated.
and that If necessary a special session
of the Legislature be called for that
purpose"

STABBER TRAILS DYING
VICTIM TO HOSPITAL
'I'll Get You Yet" He Whispers
to Patient.

NEW YORK, April "a savage au-
dacity that shocked even old timers,
hardened to gang warfare on the, East
Side, marked a fatal stabbing affray
last night. The aggressor only half
satisfied. followed his victim to a hos
pital and, STOPPING over him where he
lay dying, whispered:
IF you don't die, I'll get you yet"
Before the Mortified attendants could
catch breath, he had fed.
"Angep' Miller, known to the police
as member of the Corlears Hook
gang, was taken dying to hospital
by four young men, who said they had
seen him attacked in the street. As
Miller lay in the reception room the
man afterwards described by the wit
nesses as his assailant entered hur-
riedly and made his threat. Miller died
few minutes later, but not until he
had given the name of his murderer,
who is now being sought. The police
withhold the name. but say the man is
a member of the same gang as Miller.

HOBOKEN MAN STRUCK
BY TRAIN in HARRISON

As the result of being struck by a
Pennsylvania Railroad train, in Harri-
son today, Daniel Anderson, 32 years
old. OF 521 Willow avenue, Hoboken,
lies in ST Michael's Hospital, Newark.
When he was received at the institu-
tion the physicians announced that
there was very little chance of his re-
oovery from. the effects of the accident.
Anderson, who was foreman of a
gang of laborers employed by the rail-
read company. was so busy directing
his men that he failed to see a west
bound express coming toward him at Il
high rate of speed. When one of his
men shouted a warning Anderson made
a run for safety. but he was not quick
enough. The engine struck him and
sent his body flying through space.
CRYING like a iot of children the
italians rushed to where their foreman
Law PROSTATE. Unconscious and bleed
ing the men took the body to the
Fourth street station, one bolck west
of where the accident happened. The
Harrison police ambulance was called.
and in it Patrolman Frank Kain
rushed the injured man to the hospital.
The members of Anderson's gang
told the policeman that his name was
Danielson. and that name appears upon
the police records. The mans brother
called at the hospital shortly before
noon and gave the authorities his
proper name.

Gasoline Tank Explodes During
Motorcycle Act, Daring Per-
formers Are Burned.
CROWDS PANIC-STRICKEN
AS STAGE CATCHES FIRE
"Ced0ra" and Her Husband Mar.
rowly Escape Death in
Theatre Accident.

Mrs. Charles Hadfieid, OF 3 Riverside
avenue. Newark, who is known to the
vaudeville stage as Cedora, and her
husband. well-known bicycle rider
were severely burned last night when
the motorcycle on which the woman
was encircling the inside of q skeleton
steel sphere collapsed and the gasoline
tank exploded.
The accident occurred on the stage
Of the Alhambra. Seventh avenue and
12sth street, New York. While the
audience. panic-stricken. fought for the
exits. Hadfield, who was locked inside
the cage, endeavored to extinguish the
flames which enveloped his wife. The
stage hand who knew the combination
on the lock Of the cage door fed when
the tank exploded, and Hadfield and
his wife were entrapped with the
flames. The man managed to save his
wife from death, but the fire gained
headway on the stage. The fireman
who sought to extinguish It emptied his
chemical extinguisher, and found II
necessary to summon fire engines.
Meantime every effort was being
made to calm the terror Of the excited
men and women In the theatre. Miss
Irene Franklin, of expression" fame
proved to be the bright particular
heroine. After the asbestos curtain
had been lowered she called for the
moving pictures. The canvas was
lowered and the pictures thrown upon
it. This seemed to calm those who re-
mained in the theatre, and disastrous
panic was averted.
Dr. Jerome Wagner, Of 81 East Nine
ty-sixth street, Manhattan, ran to the
stage from the orchestra and attended
Mr. and Mrs. Hatfield. Edward Hat
field, brother Of the man. was one OF
those who witnessed the accident. He
said today at the Riverside avenue
home that he was permitted to see his
brother before he came home last night
but could not see his sister-in-law. who
was removed to q hotel in charge of a
physician. 1t is not believed today
that Mrs. Hadfield's injury will result
fatally.
Before he took up the motorcycle act
Hadfield was bicycle rider Of national
fame. He won the great Irvington-
Millburn road race a few years ago,
and was a well-known rider at the
Velodrome. For the last few years he
has been touring the vaudeville circuits
of the world with his wife in the SEN
sational motorcycle steel cage act. The
latter feature of the act came as a dra-
matte climax, the earlier part being de-
voted to trick bicycle riding.
During the cage stunt Hadfeld would
start his wife's motorcycle inside the
cage, which was not more than ten feet
in diameter. She would Increase her
speed until-as was the case last night
she would be riding at the rate Of
forty-five miles an hour AS she
passed over the top of the cage her
head would be pointing directly toward
the bottom of it. The motorcycle fell
last night from the top Of the cage and
struck Hadfield. Had he not broken
the fall his wife would have been
killed, 1t Is believed.

NEW PRUDENTIAL
BUILDING STRIKE
IS THREATENED
General WaIkout Ordered for
Monday in War of Rival
Unions.

Notice was served on the contractors
of the new Prudential buildings today
that unless the members of the Opera
tive Plasters Union were employed at
the plastering work in the building
Monday morning all of the other build
ing trades unions would refuse to work.
At present the plasterers engaged on
the work are affiliated with the Brick
layers and Masons' International Union.
which is not connected with the Build
ing Trades Council
The action taken today was the re-
suit of a very warm discussion among
the business agents of the different
unions affiliated with the Building
Trades Council, as it is said the de-
mands of the Operative Plasterers that
they be recognized as the. proper men
to do the work were not agreed to by
all of the unions represented ct the
meeting.
1t was finally decided, after more
than an hours debate, to acQuiesee to
the Operative Plasterers organizations
contention, and a committee waited on
the contractors anu served lT6 nOt1ce
that all of the building trades would
refuse to go to work Monday If the
Operative Plasterers were not recog-
nized.
1t is said that if the Bricklayers and
Masons' Unions plasterers are re-
moved from the work the Protective
Laborers' Union men viii quit work.
as they do not recognize the Operative
Plasterers' organization. The result
will be a general mix-up of conditions
in the building trades of this city.
Until a short time ago the Brick
layers and Masons Union was affiliated
with the Building Trades Council. but
when it was reorganized few days
ago the Operative Plasters' Union was
taken in, in preference to the Brick
layers and Masons, because, while the
latter are not affiliated with the Amer
lean Federation of Labor. the former
are.

TRENTON, April 9.-Senator Wake
IAN act relative to statutes" approved
March 27, 1874, Is arousfng considerable
conjecture as to its real purpose. The
willy senator from Bergen county made
the way smooth and straight tor the
passage of this amendment. 1t passed
the Senate withclt opposition and got
through the House without other OBJ
lection than the doubt openly expressed
by the Democrats as to its real mean

clerk Of the House and the hope Is
expressed that it may never see day
light again.
Should it be brought out 1t will be
presented to the Governor for his sig

that being the last moment for the
consideration of measures. What the
Governor will do with the bill is un-
certain. although it is believed that In

self such by his solicitude with refer
ence to this amendment.
