STEAMERS RESPOND TO CALL.

London, Oct, 14.-Not since
the Titanic sank has the world
been so thrilled as by the wire
less message which came today
telling of the burning of the
steamship Volturpo in mid-At-
lantic. with loss, so far as
known, of 1876 lives, and the
rescue of 521.
The survivors are now aboard
the fleet of steamers summoned
by the Volturno's call, some of
(which were bound eastward.
and others westward.
The Volturno sailed from Rot
terdam October 5 for New York.
According to the official state
ment it carried % first cabin
passengers, 53S in the steerage
and a crew of Sc. The rescue
ships reached the disaster in
plenty of time to save all, but
for hours stood by by the blaz-
ing ship. impotent, because OF
the storm to reach the agonized
men, women and children who
were crowding the decks OF the
burning ship. All of Thursday
might the lifeboats made desper-
ate efforts to get along side the
Volturno, but the waves beat
them back. When the storm
abated Friday morning the res
cuers recovered the survivors OF
the doomed ship. Just how the
rescue was effected is not known
yet.
Volturno.s agents say the YES
sci was equipped with boats suf-
ficient for a thousand people,
but the storm, lack of boat drill,
panic or something, prevented
the boats being successfully
used. Apparently most Of the
boats launched from the Vol
turno were smashed or upset
and the occupants drowned.
Two boa rs are reported to have
gotten away from the ship, but
a search for them was fruitless.
The occupants of the boats were
included in the death list,

When the case was called be-
fore County Judge M. P. Smiths
court, Attorney j. E. Baker for
the commonwealth, asked for a
continuance of the examining
trial on the grounds that the
main commonwealth witness.
Wayne w. Hammock, was not
present and his whereabouts
were unknown, and therefore
moved the continuance of the
trial. To this molten an object
ton was made by Allie C. Moore
attorney for the defendants.
stating that the defense wanted
to be heard, and would insist on
speedy trial or dismissal of the
defendants.
Attorney Virgil Moore. of Ma.

opened the case and submitted
plausible reasons why the trial
should not be continued. Fol-
lowing Mr.. Moore, Attorney r.
W. Lisanby argued the motion
for trial or dismissal, while
County Attorney Baker, argued
in support of his motion, and At
torney Allie c. Moore closed the
argument for the defense.
No evidence was introduced and

PENDANTS and commonwealth,
Judge Smith, in lengthy sum-
mary of the various points of
law submitted, ruled that in as

against the defendants and at
whose instance the warrant had
been issued from his office were
not present, and the indications
were that they did not want to,
or may never be present, he
could see no reason in continu-
ing the trial of the defendants,
and further stated that while
the defendants were acting in
defense of their home and dear
one which should always be
done, yet a legal course would
have been the proper one to pur-
sue, nevertheless he would de-
clare the dismissal of the de-
PENDANTS and release them of
their bond.
The dismissal of the defend

the large crowd which packed
the circuit court to its fullest
capacity. and nearly every per-

ed to carry a load of 1000 tons each, though
they actually carry a load of but 300 tons
each. The beams are 2 4inches across the
bottom, go inches flare at the top. The pour
ing of the concrete, a one-tWo-four mixture,
into the forms was begun Z a. M, monday
morning and continued uninterruptedly un-
til Z 30 pm, the following Saturday even
ing. A force of $50 men was employed;
100 worked by day, so by night. The day
force worked IA hours and poured the slab
or panel work the night force worked 10
hours and poured the beam work. In all
beams 81 and 7-8 inch square twisted steel
hars were used, crossed at short distances
and tied. In all posts one inch round steel
was used, tied with one-half inch cable at
a distance of eighteen inches. More than
twenty-five hundred bags of cement were
used in this great monolith.

granite quarried from the mountainside near

About 10000 barrels of Cement, viii be
used in the construction of this beautiful
