markable craft that ever rode the waters. Her power was that of eight men who turned the shaft of an or dinary propeller, in default of storage batteries and gasoline motors. There were ballast-tanks to take in sea-wa- ter, and a force-pump to eject it. She submerged by taking in water and by depressing external fins like those of a fish, and travelled very slowly when submerged, the men working in total darkness save for the light of a, single candle, and so crowded together that no one could leave his seat or his posi- tion-the two navigators standing with their heads in the two hatchways by which the boat was entered and left.
 In Charleston Harbor, in midsum- mer, 1863, her career of stark tragedy began. Lieut.. John Payne, c. S. N, volunteered to take command, and there was rivalry between this boat, the HUnIey, or the American DiVer,' D as she was called and the David, which assa,iIed the Federal Goliath the New Ironsides, and did her such serious injury.
 To return to the HunIey, Lieuten- ant Payne was getting her ready for a first attack with his submarine, after several successful underwater plunges | under warships in the harbor, when | a, swell swamped the boat, drowning eight men, Lieutenant Payne alone esca ping. In a precisely similar hap pening soon after, six more men were lost. Raised again, this floating boil CT was turned over to a civilian crew | headed by Captain Hunley himself, under whom she practised for many weeks, until, on October IS, 1863, be- l cause of careless handling, probably | by HunIey himself, she once more | dived to the bottom and there remain ed for nine days, with nine additional victims drowned of asphyxiated with | in her. It would seem as if that might l have been enough, but it was not for | COnfederates while the enemy was in | sight. The soldiers from Mobile who | had helped to build hre, volunteered to operate her, and she was raised 1 once more.
 Throughout November and Decem-
 Der, 1863, and January and part of February, this devoted crew practised 1 unceasingIy under most trying condi-
 tions; night after night they risked
 their lives in vain to reach the Feeder al fleet, being driven back again and
 knots at best, by wind and tide and sea or the coming of daylight story
 of amazing endurance in midwinteT
 and the rarest heroism in a craft i which might sink at any moment
 Once they remained on the bottom fo1
 two hours and thirty-five minutes as
 a test of endurance, precisely as mod
 ern boats "go to sleep on the bot
 tom to rest the crew. But the HunleJ
 had no oxygen tanks or other artifi
 ciaI ventilation; they breathed and re
 breathed the air of their thirty-five
 foot boiler. At last the night came
 when conditions favored an attack

Roller Skating Boy,
 Hooking On" Jitney,
 Loses Hold and Is Hurt

As witnesses testified that the chill dren were responsible for the acci- dents in which they were injured, two automobile drivers were not held by the police, last evening for the hurts sustained by a boy and a girl.
 Frank Scanzo, 12 years of age, of 779 Ogden street, while roller skating on Barnum avenue, grasped hold of the jitney bus driven by John Meade of 1O8 Court1and street and, losing his grip, was thrown to the street. Scanzo was taken to his home in the anbu- lance, suffering with body bruises and a cut over the eye.
 A small girl, whose name is un- known, was knocked down by a mo torcyc1e driven by Frank Reynolds of Milford on Pembroke street. She was only slightly hurt.

but this extraordinary engine of death drove steadily on, it's hour come. The brave men within steadily turned their crank-shaft, not knowing what second their lives would end, but pre- pared for the worst.
 Five minutes after the officer of the deck discovered '.something like a plank upon the water" the Housa- tonic was on the bottom with the loss Neighboring ships sent boats crews to the rescue, though wondering whether/they, too, might not perish in the/ twinkling of an eye by this same mysterious agency that had stol- en into the middle of the fleet like
 a thief in the night. But no sign did
 they see of the craft. Ashore, men
 strained their eyes for sight of her,
 anxiously hoping that the Hunley had i floated out to sea the ebb-tide and
 would return in due course. But no
 mortal eye was ever again set upon the men who, in the darknes of their
 boiler boat, faced eternity unwincing.
 For them the path of glory had but led to death and fame. Several years later divers found the HunIey in the wreck of the Housa tonic, either sunk by the explosion or by being sucked into the hole the torpedo had created; i; twenty-two feet was not a sufficient distance from her own engine of des- l truction. This time the iron coffin | was not raised; she, the first success | full submarine, is still the tomb of the men who paid nine lives for a Yankee 1 sloop- -Of-war, and now have a share
 in the monument to those heroes that | stands on the Battery at Charleston. Oswald Willard in Harper's Maga- | zine for June

Will STRIKE MONDAY
Orders Issued to Trainmen to Strike
Monday Morning. Passenger
and Mail Trains will Run.

At the time The Reporter went to
press Wednesday noon, it looks as il
nothing can prevent the threatened
railroad strike, embracing every rail-
road in the United States, the train
men after weeks of negotiating with
the managers of the railroads, having
issued the order for strike which IS
to take eeffct on Labor Day, Monday,
Sept. 4th, at a. m. The only thing
which apparently will prevent the
strike is for congress to pass a law
authorizing the government to take
charge of the railroads and operate
them, and President Wilson and
leaders in congress are at work on
such a measure, but it is doubtful if
it can be prepared and put into effect
in time to prevent the tieup. The
railroad men in their notice to strike,
say that mail, passenger and express
service will not be interferred with,
or the, running of milk trains which
supply. cities with milk, but will al
low no freight to be moved.
That the railroad managers expect
a strike is shown by their orders not
to accept live stock or perishable
freight which will not reach it's des-
tination by Saturday, September End.
