 Marine Engine

a southern engineering plant Is building a line Of remarkably simple tr.ple-eypausion marine engines, rang ias from I5o to 700 hp., especially ad- apsed for tugs and small single-screw steamers. The simplicity is such that two cranks. four main bearings three links. five eccenuics. 3 straps and tbree. eccentric rods are elimin- a-ed. the result being that mainten- arCe is reduced to a minimum, while CfsCieDcy is increased by a reduction Of friction.

The marsh hens cry is shrill,
The mock birds voice is tender,
And he sings with right good will
AS autumn steps among us
Wrapped in her veil of haze,
And casts misty glamor DER
Those mild September days.
seem to see them smiling,
Those dear ones-true and kind,
WHO used to wander with me
In little frail canoe
AGown shining river,
Singing songs of praise
AS we gathered grapes together
In those old September days.
Oh. we'll, my steps are nearing
Close to that quiet shore,
Whence the boatman steering
Bears back his charge no more
To where poor hearts are aching,
Wrapped in as deep a haze
AS enshroudes this earth in mystery,
Those mild September days

ONE FARMER KILLS ANOTHER.
Girl EndeavOring to Secure Shotgun
Is Killed Instantly.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Sept. 25.-A
dispatch from scottsboro, Ala, says
a fight occurred at an Indian camp
at Mud Creek Bridge, near that place,
Yesterday, in which Will Stewart, a
farmer of that community, shot and
instantly killed Jeff Kilgo, another
prominent farmer. During the ex-
citement an Indian girl, Is years
old, was trying to get shotgun out
OF wagon, when the gun was dis
charged, the load entering her body,
causing instant death.
A man named Thomas, who had
disarmed Stewart, ran when the girl
fell, and her father, coming up at
that instant, and seeing the girl ON
the ground and Thomas running
away with a pistol, thought he had
shot her, SO opened fire on Thomas
with shotgun, wounding him In
the back and legs. Stewart and the
old Indian were arrested. but the
latter was released this morning

An ideal winter and summer re-
sort for Vaudeville, with yachting
and boat racing feature, Is the
plan of Washington ]. Tracy, of
Cleveland, O., and associates, who
recently secured a ninety-nine-yea
lease on part of the lake front from
the Vaudeville council, according to
statement given out here yesterday
b. Mr.. Tracy. "A large hotel is in
cluded in the project, which, 1t Is
estimated, will cost $4,000. Work
of beautifying the grounds and car
rying other details of the plan into
execution, Mr.. Tracy says, will begin
in about sixty days. This project,
the promoter says, is not in any way
connected with the proposition to
build bridge across Lake Pontchar-
train.
In the lease granted by the Mande-
Vile council, Mr.. Tracy and his as
sociates have been given control for
ninety-nine years of 200 feet of land
on the lake front, by 700 feet deep.
Aside from this they have fifty
year lease on number of acres of
land'in the immediate vicinity of the
lake front, and also own a large tract
across the channel. 1t is the inten-
tion of the promoters, Mr.. Tracy
says, to connect the two pieces of
land. by bridge.
From Lake Pontchartrain the
channel proper extends back 600
feet. 1t is sixty feet wide at its
narrowest point and is about twelve
| feet In depth. 1t Is on the west side
of the channel that 1t is proposed to
erect the hotel, fronting on the
beach. The plans of the hotel call
for three-story building, with a
sun-garden ON the top of the third
story. The building will cover $50
| by zoo feet. 1.-THE east side Of the
channel will be made into a garden,
while pergola, $50 feet long and
forty feet in width, will grace the
front beach. The garden spot will
be connected with the main hotel
grounds by the proposed bridge
across the channel, which will be
high enough to allow motor boats
from the lake to pass.
To make long story short" said
Mr. Tracy, in speaking of his plans,
"our scheme is to make the place one
OF the most popular pleasure resorts
In this section of the country and a
harbor for all pleasure craft on Lake
Pontchartrain.
The plan can be carried out at a
reasonably small cost. The people of
Vaudeville are awake to the project
and are doing everything in their
power to aid us in it's completion,
Nature has done much for Mande-
vile. 1t is one of the most beautiful
spots around New Orleans, and, with
the plans that We have in view, there
Is no reason why the resort should
not become popular one, both sum-
mer and winter"
Mr.. Tracy formerly resided in New
Orleans, but has been a citizen of
Cleveland for number OF years.

GIRL KIDNAPPED.
Hold Marauders Take Her From Hel
Escort in New York.

New York, Sept. 25.-The police OF
the West Side are searching to-day
for Irene Westley, a comely 17-year-
old girl, who was kidnapped by four
unidentified men early to-day as she
was returning home with Jas. Kerns,
an 1S-year-old neighbor. Kerns was
beaten into insensibility by repeated
blows from a beer bottle, welded by
one of the assailants, and is dying
in the New York Hospital with a
fractured skull.
Kerns was found b. policeman
lying unconscious en- the porch of
his West Sixteenth Street home.
In a brief period of consciousness
while the ambulance doctor was
bandaging his wounds, he told. the
policeman all that he knew of the
attack. He had been at party with
Miss Westley, he said, and was es-
corting her home when he was set
UPON by the men. none of whom he
recognized. Both he ard the girl
fought them. but after knocking him
down they picked her up bodily and
rushed off toward the river.-Daily

charge OF murder in the case, and i,
is stated special session of the
grand jury will be called.
The police theory is that the crime
was committed to collect life insur-
ance. Annie had not worked for six
teen months, yet had paid her board
regularly and had clothed herself.
To do this she drew somewhat on
the life insurance money she re-
ceived after the death of her sister.
Mary Agnes, and her father and
mother
Annie Crawford's confessed vic
tim, her sister, was christened
Elizabeth. From her babyhood,
however, her relatives called her
sis, and she. in her girlhood, call
ed herself Elsie" abandoning the
baptismal name. She has been
known generally as Elsie. This ex-
plains apparent discrepancies in the
name which have appeared.

OLD ANVIL ROCK
B0BS Up AGAIN
COLORADO PROSPECTOR FINDS
GOLD MINE WHICH PUTS RA.
VIA ON A BOOM.

Ravia, Okla, Jan. 14.-Excitement
runs high in Ravia and other parts
of Johnston county on account of a
strike of gold made by H. S. Bal
lard, A Denver prospector, and W.
r. Smith, former Muskogee minis.
ter, who went into partnership with
Ballard in his prospecting here.
The discovery was made about
four months ago, according to Bal
lard, but the assay which confirmed
his belief was made by the United
States Semlting & Refining company
of Denver, less than TWO weeks ago
This assay, it is said, was made
three times in order to avoid all
chance of error
The depth of the vein which has
been struck is not yet known, but
it is claimed that the shaft already
has been worked down about sixty.
five feet, and there is no sign of
weakening. The vein is twenty feet
broad as far as it has been worked,
and the samples which were sent
to Denver, about 300 ounds of orpe
in all, assayed $35 ton.
Great secrecy has been maintained
by all those interested so far, and
the title to the land has just been
obtained by Ballard and Smith. The
land formerly was owned by Indians,
and lies about one mile east of Ra
via.
The secret has leaked out in some
way and many prospectors and gold.
seekers from over the state and from
further west are pouring into Ra.
via.
Several land owners in this vicin.
ity also have heard of the strike
and have been sinking shafts. Many
of these claim that they have struck
pay ore, but only the original pros.
pectors will make any facts public |
Jacquelin Black, who is in line with |
the vein, judging from the direction
it runs where struck, claims to have
made a find, and many are inclined |
to believe him.
Since the strike has been made |
public 1t is almost impossible to buy
Ravia real estate for anything like
reasonable prices.
