Obscuring Mist on the River Said

In consequence of the thick fog the
steamer Newport News OF the Norfolk
and Washington Steamboat Company
went ashore on the mud fats off the
mouth of Piscataway creek. near Fort
Washington this morning while on her
trip from Norfolk TO this city. and she
was still aground this afternoon. The
vessel grounded at high water and her
engines were powerless to back her of.

had been sent to take off passengers and
perishable freight OF the Newport News
left that vessel at IL o'clock, the latter
was on the mud bank. we'll out of the

Heavy Fog on the River.
A thick blanket of fog has covered the
Potomac river in the vicinity of this city
since 10 o'clock last night 1t enveloped
the lower river and bay the greater part
OF yesterday before it reached this vicin-
ity. The fog was thick last night, but
toward morning it grew more dense, and
at daylight was SO heavy that objects on
the river fifty feet away could not be
made out. and On shore persons a half
block distant could barely be seen through
the haze.
During the morning the fog lifted over
the streets OF the city, but remained
very thick over the river, and the tugs
and steamboats, moving about through
it had to sound their fog signals almost
constantly, and moved at reduced speed
to avoid accident.
Vessels Kept in Port.
: Reports received from Baltimore and
! the upper part Of Chesapeake bay state
that the fog has been giving trouble
there for the last two days o. longer and
that a large fleet of sailing vessels is
| lying at anchor in the harbor waiting the
| lifting Of the blanket SO they can sail
| for their destinations.
| The fog prevailing on the river is the
| heaviest SO far this season, but this is
| fog-making time, and the obscuring mist
| is said to be likely to arise from the
water at any time.
Continued unsettled weather will pre-
vail, with probable rains tonight and to-
morrow. The temperature will recede to-
morrow and it will become somewhat
colder, but not severely SO. There will
be light and moderate winds, shifting

Harvard showed very little of the
strength Crimson followers hopes she

the only new play and was used only
once. Harvard was seldom in Darts

Stories With a Thrill
HOW FULTON TURNED JEERS TO CHEERS

Not long ago an aeroplane
winged It's way up the Hudson
river from New York to Albany
and back again TO New York.
Thousands of people lined the
river and looked on in wonder But
little did they think OF the analogy
between that occurrence and an
other a little more than a hundred
years before when their ancestors
stood along the same river aud
ieered with jeers that turned to
cheers at the first steamboat.
lt was a warm morning in Sep
TENDER, 1907. and the Clermont
rode al her anchor near wharf in
New York city. The shore was
black with people who had come
down to the water front before
even the sun was up to look and
wonder at the strange monster
there In the river.
Right in the middle OF the boat
was a chimney. and az the sides
were great paddle wheels. The
people had never seen so crazy n
looking craft. and the man who
should try To make THAT go up
the river was surely more crazy
than his boat
So they laughed and cracked
jokes, and waited for the sun to
come up when crazy Bob Fulton
should make fool OF himself for
their entertainment.
The eastern sky glowed. the sun
came up, and Robert Fulton an

by steam, when everybody knew
tonly they didn't know. as usuan
that boat had to have sails TO
send It through the water.
Fulton wore shabby suit be-
cause he was too poor to waste
money on himself. His careworn
face bespoke long labor and worry
true heroism.
The crowd laughed In his face
as the inventor and his friends en-.
tered their crazy boat. Fulton paid
no attention to them. He mllled
the lever that started the engine.
With a wheeze and snort the boat
moved out into the river, and the
people suddenly became silent.
But no sooner had the Clermont
struck the main current than there
was Earring, grating sound. the
engine stopped, and the boat With
