sequently ninety-six years old last
March. When young man he sailed
for this country, coming by the way
OF New Orleans and from there came
to st. Louis, where he remained about
two years and tien came to Keokuk
and first arrived here May z, 1850, in
time to spend his thirty-first birthday
anniversary in this city. He was a
man Of strong individuality and strong
friendship. His hospitality was of a
genuine stamp and many persons will
remember how quietly and unpreten-
tiously he extended that hospitality.
Notwithstanding his extreme age,
age bore upon him lightly. At his
last birthday anniversary last March,
he appeared to retain his vitality In
an excellent degree. He made no ef-
fort to celebrate the day, and receiv-
ed the friends who called on him
with sincere cordially and with the
hospitality of another age and gen
Grafton His good wife preceded him
to the grave several years ago and left
him alone, except for happy family
of children who looked to him with
the love and affection due to kind
and careful father. He was great
lover OF home and delighted in his
little garden spot which he cultivat-
ed with extreme pride and care. He
was fond Of the open air. Walking
was a favorite advertisement to him,
and he attributed his remarkable
longevity and vigor to his outdoor
habits.
But the end is come and the good
old man will be sadly missed from the
ne1ghborhood and regrets will be felt
by everybody who knew we'll and ap-
preciated his excellent qualities.

there were certain places in the city
where they could be of vital assist
ance to communities where there are
few religious influences working at
the present time, and they determin-
ed to establish at these places, if it
were at all possible, Sunday schools,
which would be under their direct
supervision. Volunteers offered their
service for this work. The boys were
also considered and it was here deter
mined that they do what they could to
play "the elder brother" to great
many little fellows that fell under
their observation every week.
AS this was an annual meeting,
election Of officers was held. The
following we're elected:
President-Anson Barryman
Vice president-John Washburn.
y-treasurer-Arthur Lund-
berg.
There were also various committees
appointed. After the business and
discussions, the young men were de-
lightfully entertained by the class or
chestra who were well applauded for
their work. The quartet also rendered
some very amusing selections. Fol-
lowing this there was speech from
the superintendent Of the Sunday
school, DR.. j. E. Forney. His address
was very much appreciated. Delight
full refreshments were served. The
meeting then adjourned to meet Sun
day morning at $3.50.

TO ROB
WOMAN IN TAXI
Negro Escapes and Richly
Dressed Companion Is Arrest.
ed-Asks for Joe Corrigan.

An extensively dressed, bejewelled
woman who said she was Miss Anna
Howard, thirty-eight years old, and
lived at the Hotel Normandie. was ar
rested, charged with intoxication, last
night after her shouts of Thief" while
she was in taxicab with a negro in
Central Park, had summoned Patrol
man Kerwin. He commandeered an
other autom obie and chased the taxi
cab for ten blocks to Goth ST., where
the chauffeur slowed down. As he did
so a negro jumped out Of the car and
got away.
The woman said the negro had tried
to rob of her Of $500. She produced
a large roll of bills at the Arsenel sta
ton. She was then taken to the West
47th st. station. where the money was
counted. 1t was said there was only
S57.
the chauffeur of the taxicab, who
gave his name as Joe" Travers, said
he took the woman as fare outside
the Winter Garden, and she told him
to drive to 132d at. and Fifth av., where
she met the negro. She called him
Jim" and from what the chauffeur
heard he gathered Jim" was the hus-

The white woman wanted Jim" 20 per-

work, but there was some argument
over some money. The chauffeur con-

NEW TRIAL FOR FISH
Sentenced for Burning His
Yacht, He Gets Rehearing.

Word was received in this city last
night that John A. Fish, formerly a
member of the New York Yacht Club.
recently sentenced to five years I'M
prisonment following his conviction on
4 charge of having burned his yacht
Senta off Edgartown, Mass, in 1910,
had been granted a new trial.
The United States Circuit Court Of
Appeals in Boston decided that the
trial court erred in admitting testi-
mony relating to the burning Of an
other yacht and of an automobile
owned by Fish.
His lawyers in this city said that
Fish's indictment in Boston was
brought about by an insurance COM
pany which their client had sued for
$4,000, the amount OF the policy they
had issued on his yacht. They said
that Fish's career as a soldier Of for
tune has been filled with exciting cpl
sodes, including terms of service be-
fore the mast on a clipper ship, sur
veying in South Africa along the line
of the Cape TO Cairo railway, and
walking the floor" in a department
store in New York.
At the time the Senta burned Fish
was an insurance broker at 1913 Will
lam st. He testified at his trial that
the fire was caused by the explosion
Of a gasolene stove, and that it was
only with the utmost difficulty that
he succeeded in saving two women
guests and himself. Since his convic-
tion Fish has been at liberty on $751;
900 bail.

Hammondsport, \. Y. July IL.
Doubt as TO the intention of Lieuten-
ant John c. Porte to attempt TO fy
across the Atlantic Ocean in the flying
boat America was set rest to-day
when he sent the following cable
message to "The London Daily MALI:
Uniformed rumors circulating Eng
land Rodman Wanamaker fight been
abandoned. These entirely without
foundation. Delay caused by Difficult
ties raising such heavy load clear Of
water. Solution certain carly date.
Weight-carrying qualities and be-
havior beyond expectations"
The trials OF the America to-day
showed that Curtiss and Porte are on
the right tack in their experiments IN
the raising Of the big machine with its
load from the water. Several good
flights were made this morning. but as
the full load was not carried there
were more experiments this evening.
Curtiss said tonight that he believed
that the end OF the trials was near and
that a few more tests would show al
what angle 10 place the submerged
planes which are depended upon 10

that he will make the fight If he has

creased sklds or equip il with wheels
and start from the land.
Captain Creagh- o sborne, of the Brit
ish navy, who is to adjust the compass 3
for Porte, installed the special instru-
ment in the cockpit Of the America
this morning. The compass was de-
signed by Captain Osborne. II cost
several hundred dollars and Captain
Osborne said that it is the finest piece
Of workmanship he had ever seen.
Captain Osborne was elated because
the America was so constructed that
there was no deviation Of the needle
from the proximity of steel fittings.
Forward of the motors nothing but
aluminium and bronze have been used.
Elmer Sperry, inventor of several in
struments for aerial navigation, arrived
here to-day and made some tests OF

with Lieutenant John II. Towers, of the
