at $50 in the morning and returning at

Conductor Wheeler is II years old, but
he appears much younger. Through his
courtesy and accommodation he has
made hundreds of friendly acquaintance
all along the line, and he is held in the
highest respect everywhere. He is in
excellent health and he has been partic-
ularly fortunate in avoiding accidents
He entered the service in 1872 and for a
year was brakeman. Then he was sue
ceeded by George L. Spafford, now one
of the oldest conductors on the line, and
Mr.. Wheeler became baggage master. He
held that position until he was 90 years
old, when he became conductor

Naval Officials in Boston Be-
lieve a Battle at Sea Has
Been Fought
THREE STATIONS
REPORTED FIRING
Shots Plainly Heard, But No Warships
Were Seen - Inside Cape a Heavy
Fog Hung Over the Waters, But Out
side Weather Was Clear.

BOSTON, April 1S.--Reports of
heavy gunfre at the entrance of Mas
sachusetts bay sent thrill along the
coast today.
Three coast guard stations on Cape
Cod successivcly reported to the navy
yard here that they had counted dis
tinct and repeated guns from the
north and northeast Of the tip of the
cape.
1t was believed at the navy yard
that American vessels were engaged
with the enemy.
Inside the Cape a heavy fog hung
over the waters, but outside tho
weather was clear and gentle breeze
was blowing.
No warship was sighted by the three
stations and after SO minutes the fir
ing ceased
1t was suggested that ships of the
allies, which are constantly on patrol
duty, might have come up with friend
ly warships, with whom salutes were
exchanged. However, naval men could
not understand warships being on ac-
tive duty.
The navy yard has no information
except that received from the coast
guard stations
Newspaper correspondents on the
cape reported that reports of gunfre
were current but they were all traced
back to the message received at the
navy yard
No citizens at Highland Light or
other points nearby could be found
who heard gunfre. However, the re
ports were taken seriously at the navy
yard, where the feeling was that there
| had been a battle off the coast.
