LOST FROM FALL RIVER
 STR. PROVIDENCE

The disappearance of a, passenger from the steamer Providence, bound from New York to Fall River, Fri day, under puzzling circumstances was reported to the police last night by officials of the New England Steamship company, owners of the vessel.
 The trip up Long Island Sound was made without incident and if any one leaped off the boat, as it was supposed might have been the case, he did it so it.
 It was when the steamer was searched at Fall River that the dis coVery was made. Porters were go- ing through every part of the vessel as ist he custom at the end of each trip when in stateroom No. 54 they came upon a small black hand bag marked 'fW. R. w. Griffin, East Liv- erpool, Ohio."
 The grip was given to the agent of the company who, believing it had been left by some careless person who would return for it in the course of the day, retained it until Saturday.
 Then, when there was no claimant he sent it to the New York office of the company. All day yesterday it was held for it's owner. Failing to receive inquiries it was decided to notify the police.
 Before doing so one of the com pany's agents made an inventory or the bag It contained among other things 199 shares Of stock of the Allah Oil Co.,. signed by w. R. W. Griffin, as president, a pass book con itainfng annual passes made out to 'eW. R. w. Griffin, general manager of the Steubenville,, Wellsburg and Weirtown Railway. East Liverpool, O.; a bank book a check book of the Union National Bank of Pittsburgh, and a trust certificate for 5O,00O. There was also a bill of sale for an automobile, a pawn ticket for $15o for diamond pin and numerous receipts for dues in fraterna1 societies, 1nclud- ing the Masons and Elks.
 The steamship company's agent in- formed the local offices of the com passenged was missing had not been disturbed. The door was unlocked and the key was on the inside.
 Notification came to police headF quarters shortly before o'clock last night. Some one called the defective bureau on the telephone and reported the finding of the bag. The bureau informed the man at the other end ot the other end of the telephone that a detective would be. sent up inn mediate1y for the bag, but the speaker answered:
 Its late now; we will send it to headquarters in the morning"
 There was no one at the offices of the steamship company last night.

galley of the Aztec was shattered. Where they were is g black hole, from which a pillar of smoke and fire arose until the fre-boats Seth Low and Will liam J. GaynOr smothered it with salt water Below the Waterline there is another hole in the vessels side. Through it Erie Basin poured, caus ing the stern of the Aztec to list to starboard until it rested bottom. The fire and engine rooms were flood ed and until the ship is raised there can be no accurate determination of the cause of the explosion or of the number of dead. It is believed that most of the men reported missing will be found dead. One of the fire fight CTS said he thought he saw eight or nine men in the fire room dead or so badly hurt tha tthey couldn't get out. And no one could get to them.
 Michael Mickelsen, chief engineer of the Aztec, who was on the ship but was not hurt said he thought the ex- plosion came from ''the cross bunkers aft, where 25 tons of fuel oil was stored"
 Matthew Maroney, rigger, blinded and otherwise terribly burned, was in the engine room-ne was one of the few who got out of it-but he told Marshal Brophy he had no idea what wrecked the Aztec.
 Another badly injured man, Charles Rasmussen. said that four barrels "of oil of some kind were stored near the galley door," but whether this oil ex- ploded he didn't know. The man who ran the donkey engine is missing.
 The Aztec is Owned by A. B1eksta. of ChrfEtiania and chartered by the Inter-Oceanic Transportation Co. to carry oil to France. She is 391 feet long and B foot beam. Her tonnage is 5,665. She is worth between $5OO,- 900 or $60O,000. N

STILL COUGHING AND NO RELIEF?

Why don't you try some other remedy2 Frequent coughing increases the irri- tation of the bronchial tubes and often becomes chronic. Try Cyrus Cough Specific, it has relieved others and will help your cough. It is not sickening sweet and does not constipate. It is worth your trial.

MISS SPOONER IN ROLE
 NEW TO BRIDGEPORT IN
 ssTHE LAW OF THE LAND

faThe Law of the Land'' which Miss Cecil Spooner and her own stock company are producing this week treats in a most forceful manner of "a parents cruelty to his%child and of the triumph of mother love over everything else The action of the play is highly concentrated and holds the attention every moment. The fig ures are strongly drawn. There are four acts, all laid in the home of MT: Harding, the brutal husband and father.
 Credit should be given Miss spooner and her company for the excellent production given the play. Compan- ies charging three times the admission asked at the Lyric have come to town with a cast that could not equal the efforts of this little band of players and with settings and scenery that was far superior to those being used this week.
 The dramatic part of Mrs. Harding was played by Miss Spooner with a eharacterization which pleased be- cause of it's variance from those that has been given for a number of weeks.
 Little Marion Melrose had another opportunity to show her cleVernessS in the part of Bonnie, the child. Miss Melrose reads her lines exceptionally well for sa small a girl.
 FeA Irenlon was GeoHrey MorIon, Ethe ..ether~ man." Tn this strong and well drawn part the leading man of the company gave one Of the best haraeterizations since coming to Bridgeport. Robert Lawrence earned much praise for his splendid por- trayal of the brutal part of Robert Harding. The clever young secretary to MT. Harding, Arthur Brockland, was we'll played by Philip Leigh while perhaps the most unique and pleasing character in the pray was that of Chetwoed. the butler, which Frederick Clayton played so we'll. Charles Hin- ton made a splendid Captain Pritch- Coehrane; Louise Ungerer, Doctor Whitridge; George Kelley. Detective Taylor. Reta Vi11ers, Hur1burt a gov erness; while Edward Davidson, a local young man, appeared to good advantage as Detective Burns.
