AFTER TWO INFsELDERS.
The new Islander boss is busily en-
gagged in lining up some more men
whom he expects to call in for the
spring tryouts. Two of these are in
fielders who are the property of big
league clubs and who even now are
on training trips with their squads OF
recruits. Just who they are, Manager
Carney does not wish to state but ne
says he has hopes of landing one or
both of them. One of them is third
sacker and the other plays short or
second base. Both are reputed to be
fast fielders and hard hitters as well.

motor boat enthusiasts of speed mar
vels in the building may be accepted.
One of the latest aspirantS for
championship honors is the Lacrosse
motor boat club, whose officers are at
present engaged in raising a fund to
enter a racer at Dubuque. Among
the offers they are considering is one
from the designer of the famous Dix
lie II, international champion, for a
32-foot racer of the hydroplane type,
along the same other lines as the DIX
lie, which will be guaranteed to make
SO miles an hour. This boat, its
makers promise. will be the fastest
craft ever raced on fresh water and
it is claimed there will be nothing
to equal il, despite the arm-cb air
dope that some of the 40-foOt entrants
will make from ~ to 10 miles an hour
II is proposed to fit this modern Dix
lie with two twin engines Of 800 horse

New York, Aug. 10. - Two young

NOLAW ON WITCHES
Woman Accused as One to
Seek Damages.
ALLENTOWN LAWYERS BUSY.
Mrs. Bessie zimmerman Retains Coun-
sci 10 Bring Suit Following Charges
That She Practiced Craft to
Others Danger.

Allentown, Pa, Aug. 10-Mrs. Bessie
zimmerman has engaged former Mayor
James L. Schaadt and Charles w.
Kaeppel as attorneys to represent her
in suits for damages she says she will
bring as a result of her being accused
of practicing witchcraft.
In addition to this, number of other
attorneys are looking up matters re-
lating to the Jurisprudence to witch
craft cases from the time when they
burned witches in Salem, Mass, nearly
800 years ago. Allentown's attorneys
appear to be under the impression that
while happily persons accused of
witchcraft are no longer burned alive
or hanged from a gibbet, there is as
yet no law making it a crime to ac-
cuse any one of being a witch, an al
legation which Mrs. zimmerman resents
most strenuously.
In short, while there is no law to
punish a witch, neither is there any to
prevent people from believing in
witches. The accusation against Mrs.
zimmerman came about through a COM
bination of circumstances Joined with
her own eccentricities. She is a be-
lever in nature cures and a disciple
of DR.. Kloss, the Bethlehem nature
path" who has frequently figured in
litigation both as a plaintiff and a de-
fendant. Their most eccentric act was
sitting in wet grass. Then when the
|
Kipp, where she roomed, began to suf-
fer from peculiar ailments, the accusa-
ton that she was a witch quickly fol-
lowed.
Mrs. zimmerman thinks she is en-
titled to large damages from her ac-
cusers, from the city and even from
the aldermen for having been arrested
and confined for short periods in the
town lookup and the county Jail

One charred body was found in the

it is that of James L. Finney, an
American actor, who is missing.
The Carlton hotel, which shelters
more Americans than Englishmen, is
next door to His rajesty's theater.
The fire unfortunately occurred at
dinner time, and some of the guests
who were dressing were frightened by
the dense smoke. They did not take
time to complete their toilets, but hur-

quietly, but it was necessary to send
two sick guests down the fire escapes

FEW DAYS TO BE SOBER.
Son of Minister Is Adjudsed HabituaI
Drunkard In Washinuton.

Washington. Aug. 10.-Drunk eighty
eight times in 139 days is the record
charged against John w. Lanahan, a
member of a well known Maryland
family by his wife and their twenty
year-old daughter. Lanahan is a son
of the late Rev. John Lanahan, at the
time Of his death leading clergyman
of the Methodist church. Lanahan has
an estate valued at about $4,000, and
his wife has instituted proceedings
here to have him declared an habitual
drunkard and a committee appointed
to manage his affairs.
Mrs Lanahan testified that she kept
a record on a calendar of the days
when Lanahan was intoxicated, and 1t
showed, she said, that at one period
he was drunk eighty-eight times in
1870 days.
In taking the stand, Lanahan's coat
tails were thrown aside and the jury
and spectators caught glimpse Of the
neck Of a large black bottle in his
hip pocket. 1t took the jury just ten
minutes to decide against Lanahan.

CUPID WINS RACE
Newport Excited Over Elope-
ment of Miss French.
COUPLE OUTWITS PARENTS.
Favorite Neice of Mrs. Elsie Vanderbilt
French Becomes Bride of John Paul
Geraghty, chauffeur-Married
In Village Hotel.

Newport, II. l.. Aug. 10.-Social cir
cles are all in a flutter again, this
time over the elopement of Miss Julia
Estele French, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Amos Tuck French of Tuxedo
and Newport, and q niece of Mrs
French Vanderbilt, with John Edward
Paul Geraghty of this city, a tender
employed in the garage of Herbert Il.
Pember. Nothing has stirred Newport
quite so much in a long time as has
this elopement. 1t is the one topic of
conversation In the summer residence
section of the city.
At first there was but little credence
put in the report, but later, when it
became known that the couple had
been located in little Connecticut vii
lage and when, even later, telegram
was received by Geraghty's mother
announcing that he and Miss French
had been married, everybody settled
down to the fact that Cupid had been
victorious in race with the wits of
the families of both contracting par.
ties.
Before official confirmation Of the
marriage reached Newport Mr.. French
is understood to have gone on a search
for his daughter. Mrs. Vanderbilt,
aunt Of the eloping girl, was also
called into the family conference.
Miss French is Of one Of the best
known and oldest families in the New
port summer colony. She is about
nineteen years Of age and very at
tractive. She is a devotee of out of
door life and a great lover of dogs and
horses. She was about Newport a
great deal, and it was very rare oc-
casion that she was ever seen without
a dog, she having several as pets at
her parents home, Maple Shade. on
Red Cross avenue. Not only is her
family well known here, but also in
New York and Tuxedo, where they
usually spend the winter, owning an
estate at the park called Tuekesden.
Her father is connected with many of
the New York clubs and her mother
who was a daughter Of Mrs. Stuyve-
SAINT Leroy, together with the other
members of her family, are consider.
ably wrought up and worried over the
action of Miss French.
Though Miss French's family has
thus far declined to make any state
ment upon the subject of the elope
ment, it is understood that she die
not tell her folks anything about
where she was going or what she hat
in mind. 1t was learned. however
that Miss French's family knew o.
her acquaintance with Geraghty, whC
is twenty-one years Of age, and tina
they had done about everything the!
could think of trying to break 1t off

and his son prior to the time that h.
