High Expectations of the Cruiser's Coming Trials. SHE MAY BE A WORLD BEATER BOSTON, Nov. 13.—The U. 8. S. Columbia. from Philadelphia, which passed out of Delaware breakwater at 3:45 yesterday morning, arrived at quarantine at 2 o'clock | | this morning, making the passage in 22 | hours. She came from Cape Cod to Boston | light, a distance of 40 miles, in two hours and twenty minutes. ‘The Dolphin arrived from Gloucester this morning. Quickest Trip of a U. S. Warship. ‘The Columbia dropped anchor off South Boston early this morning. Her run at sea was the quickest ever made vy a war ves- sel in this country, beating the New York's time over two hours. The cruiser will re- main at anchor here all day. Tomorrow, if the weather permits, a “lim- bering-up” run will be made over the measured course between Cape Ann and Then, after thoroughly | cleaning the boiler tubes, che men will be | given an absolute rest on Wedaesday, in jorder that they may pe fresh for the great trial on ‘Thursday. It is not tne intention, however, to make the trial uniess the eon- ditions of Weather and wind are as near perfect as can ve. No risxs will be taken, and if necessary, the ship will remain here a& week tor favorable weather before going over the course. Story of the Voyage. The Columbia, after leaving Cramp's ship yard Saturday morning, steamed slowly down the Delaware, responding with whistle and flag to the more or less noisy Srectings that Were sent to her from the craft of all sorts that lined the shore or passed her on the river. Reedy Island, forty-two miles from the ship yard, on which the new government quarantine Station Is located, was reached at 2:25 p.m. Here, after over two hours had been spent in swinging the ship for the adjustment of the compass, one ot the big 1v,yw-pound an- chors was dropped and tne cruiser re- mained at a standstill until nearly mid- nignt, by which time the ude was sulfli- cienuy high to allow of her passage in satety over the dangerous Dan baker shoal. The run to Delaware breakwater was at a moderate pace, but after passing Cape Hen- fopen light at 3:51 a.m. Sunday, tne ship Was speeded under natural draught and there Was no siow down unui she came to anchor off South Boston. Cape Henlopen southwest lightship, with Five Fathom bank abeam, was passed at 6:09 a.m., and Capt. Sargent then shaped her course for Nantucket south shoal light- ship, 24 2-10 knots distant. This journey was accomplished in thirteen hours and seven minutes, an average speed of 18.69 knots an hour. The cruiser New York's) time for this distance was fourteen hours and thirty minutes. This would make the | Columbia’s journey faster by nearly 1 3-4) knots per hour. From Nantucket south | shoal lightship to Minot’s ledge the speed | was kept up. The distance from Cape Henlopen south- west lightship to Minot’s ledge through south channel is 407.4 knots, and the Co- lumbia made the trip in twenty-one hours and fifty-two minutes, an average of 18.63 knots an hour. The cruiser New York when on the way to Cape Ann for her trial trip made the journey in twenty-four hours and fifteen minutes, and this had hitherto been the record for this distance. Both runs were; made under natural draught. The New) York's run was made on a light breeze with | a smooth sea, whereas the Columbia had to contend against a rather strong wind from FE. N. E., with an easterly swell, which caused her to throw considerable water for- ward. Toward night, however, the wind and sea moderated. Fastest Warship tn the World. ‘The Columbia's engines averaged from 110 to 120 revolutions a minute during the run. | When the official run is made the engines | will be increased to possibly 135 revolutions | on forced draught and everybody on board | is hopeful that this will produce a speed of | twenty-two knots an hour or better, mak- ing her the fastest warship in the world. Neither Edwin S. Cramp, who has charge of the ship, nor Capt. Sargent, her navi-} gator, will express an opinion as to the probable performance of the ship under forced draught. They simply say that she will meet the contract requirement of twen. ty-one knots an hour. A speed of twen two knots would earn for her builders a premium of $200,000. ———— ADMIRAL MELLO. } A Former Brazilian Minister to Wash- ington Describes the Rebel Chief. | PARIS, Nov. 18.--The representative in | this city of the United Press had an inter- | view with Baron Pendo, who was Brazilian minister to the United States for several years during the regime of the Emperor Dom Pedro. Baron Penedo disclaimed all knowledge of the movements or policy of Admiral Mello, who is in command of the rebel Brazilian fleet, and said that he had no information as to the truth or falsity of the reports that the object of the rebel- | lion was to restore the monarchy in Brazil. He added that the rebellion was no child's play. On the contrary it was a serious movement. It was difficult to foresee what the issue would be. Admiral Mello ap-_ peared to possess all the sinews of war, | although Baron Penedo ‘declared that he could not say where he obtained them. Unlike President Peixoto, the insurgents have no state treasury at their disposal, yet they are spending large sums of money. Baron Penedo further said that he knew Admiral Mello and knew him to be strong | intellectually and tenacious of purpose. | He is a good man, the baron concluded, | and he knows just exactly what he is doing. He is not the sort of.a man to embark upon a chimerical enterprise. a BOOKMAKERS THEIR PREY. Discovery of the Systematic Work- ings of a Gang of Robbe LONDON, Nov. 13.—Ben. Hyams, a well- | known London bookmaker, who had been ‘attending the Liverpool autumn race meet- ing, was drugged at a leading Liverpool hotel on Saturday and while unconscious was robbed of £2,000, An investigation into the case has dis- jelosed a long series of similar robberies of sportsmen at the Scarborough, Manc | the | posed murderer. | truth concerning the affair, and explained | manager of the Royal Insurance Company, ter and Doneaster race meetings.

Double Tragedy the Result of Reject-. img the Poor but Preferred Suitor. NEW YORK, Nov. 13.—The Herald's Abilene, Tex., special says: Douglassville, a small colony a few miles southwest of this eity, was the scene of a double and bloody tragedy Saturday night. Trinidad Romer, a young Mexican, thirty years of age, was killed by Julius Lar- inski, a Polish settler. Romer was des- perately enamored of the only daughter of Larinski and his suit was favored by the girl's father, but she had fixed her affec- tions on another man. The favored suitor was of her own race, in the person of Na- than Sorowski. Sorowski had little to offer other than his love, while Romer was con- sidered very wealthy. Recently Larinski informed Romer that he looked upon his suit with favor, and that if he could put Sorowski out of the way so that he could no longer push his suit he would give him the hand of his daughter in marriage. Shortly afterward Sorowski disappeared, as if swallowed up by the earth, leaving smooth sailing for Romer, who, on Saturday, was married to Miss Larinski. At the wedding feast Romer acquired a high degree of intoxication, and boasted of the fact that he had killed Soro- wiski, and that he was abetted in his crime by Larinskti. This so enraged the newly wedded Mrs. Romer that she attempted to cut the throat of her husband with a butcher knife, and was only prevented by her father stepping up and wrenching it from her. Then the bride thought that all were leagued against her, and with a despairing cry she turned from her husband and plunged the keen Blade into her own throat, cutting it from ear to ear, and then fell dead. This crazed Larinski, and looking upon ‘Tinidad Romer as the scle cause of the tragedy he emptied both barrels of his — gun into Romer’s body with fatal ef- ect. The strangest part of the whole weird and almost impossible story lies in the fact that Sorowski, who was supposed to have been murdered by Romer, should return this morning just after the double killing. He made the statement that he was hired about a month ago by Romer for the sum of $13 to go to Eddy, N. and see a man about a projected cattle deal. Qn his arrival there he declares that he learned that no such person lived there or had been there at any time, He then re- tuyned to Douglassville. eee DISAPPEARED AT CHICAGO. A Young Woman From Pennsylvania Not Heard From for Two Weeki HUNTINGDON, Pa., Nov. 13.—Miss Mar- tha Cummings, daughter of the late Robert Cummings of Armaugh township, Mifflin county, left home five weeks ago to visit the world’s fair at Chicago. Until two weeks ago Miss Cummings communicated with her relatives regularly, but since then no word as to her whereabouts has been re- ceived. Her friends fear that she has been foully dealt with and have left to seek for her. Miss Cummings was of a deeply relig- jous nature, a prominent worker In the Christian Endeavor Society, and her myter- lous absence has caused the gravest alarm. sais a as! CAPTURED AN ABSCONDER. fer Hi rd of the Chicago “Tri- bane” Arrested at New York. NEW YORK, Nov. 13.—Detective Heidel- berg of Inspector Byrnes’ staff, with Lieut.

Mr. Robinson says that his reason for selling is that he is tired of managing the club and that he is on the lookout for other business. PERILS OF THE FOLDING BED. A Ma» Crippled for Life and His Wife Badly Hurt. MEMPHIS, Tenn., Nov. 13.—C. H. Van, an advertising solicitor, and his wife re- tired last night In a folding bed. The bed, by some movement, began to close up. Mrs. Van started to leap out, but was caught and Van was crushed so badly that he will be a cripple for life. His spinal cord was strained and he is paralyzed in lower extremities. It 1s thought he will die. The wife is also badly bruised. —— Had Outlived His Usefulness. YATES CENTER, Kas., Nov. 13.—About noon yesterday E. P. Bernard, an old and highly esteemed citizen of Toronto, this county, shot and instantly killed his wife, daughter and himself. He left a letter to his son stating he had outlived his useful- | ness and would be better out of the wa He was eighty years of oge: his wife si: ty-three, and his daughter thirty-six. No other cause than that in his letter to his son can be ascribed for the terrible deed. Bernard bought a lot in the cemetery some time ago and left written directions as to the disposition of his property. a Accidentally Shot While Hunting.

The Lotus Glee Club sang two se- lections—“Lead, Kindly Light,” and “I'm CROWDS AT THE ZOO. Nearly Thirty Thousand People Visited the Park Yesterday. All Eager to See the New Collection of Animais—Hundreds of School Children There Saturday. Yesterday was the banner day in the his- tory of the Zoological Park. All day long there was a steady stream of people pass- ing through the gates and, once within the park, they showed no desire to leave, but wandered around enjoying the beauties of the Rock creek valley and the natural history exhibition that is given in the fine big collection of animals. There were all sorts and conditions of people, but all with one accord showed that they appreciated the chance to revel in such an outing. Men were stationed at the gates to keep a count of the crowd. Their work showed the astonishing fact that during the day 29,448 men, women and children passed through to see the animals. This broke all previous records, so that there was nothing left of them. It was the cause of the greatest gratification to the of- ficials in charge of the park, Dr. Baker and Chief Keeper Blackburn, who ascribe much George in a Favorite. of the popularity which the park enjoys to the liberal treatment it has received at the hands of the newspapers of this city. A great attraction now, of course, is the new collection of animals which recently came to the Zoo, and whose arrival was so free- ly described in The Star at the time. Yes- terday was the first Sunday since the lion, the tiger, the hippopotamus and all the rest of this fine gathering of beasts came on to spend the winter in Washington and this fact accounted in part for the great crowd. On,Saturday, too, there was an un- usually large crowd, made up of school children from all parts of the city, who took advantage of the holiday to pay their respects to the new arrivals. 1t was really a great day, yesterday. And such a lot of fun as the people did have, to be sure. One of the most popular places was the cage in which are confined the monkeys. They are always a drawiny card, and the way they did fill up on_pea- nuts and chestnuts was a caution. one takes and the result is that when there are upwards of 30,000 people on hand the animals have a genuine picnic, a con- The “Old M tinuous table d’ hote, as it were. The hippopotamus at the Zoo wasa_piece- de-resistance yesterday, and attracted large crowds at all times, who stood wrapt In unalloyved admiration of his grace and ele- gance. It is not every hippo who can pose as a beauty. As a poser, “however, he wes hardly in it with Mr. K. N. Garoo, who wandered around on his choice hind legs and bothered not the least when people wondered why it was that his rear trotters were so much longer than his front ones. “Soy, I tinks somebody must a pulled both o' his hind legs to oncet,” said a small boy who had disposed of his morn- ing's supply of “N'Yawk poipers,” and was out for a good time with the rest of the crowd. His eminent respectability, the kanga roo, said nothing at all, but simply put on that extra look of unconsciousness assumed by an F street swell when a small boy calls his chrissy a plate of slaw. It was fun for the boy, it was fun for the animals, and every one was happy. The crowd was unprecedented, but no mishaps were reported, and people showed that they were enjoying themselves by not interfering with other people’s enjoyment. | When the sun had set over the hills on the other side of the creek the animals all felt that they had done a good day's work, and retired to their respective couches with something of that tired feeling, but with no regrets beyond those that come from a surfeit of the good things of life. ee AE es EPISCOPAL CHURCH CONGRESS, Questions of Current Interest to Be Discussed.

Three hundred men and women were mo- mentarily panic stricken last evening in the Belden Avenue Church at Chicago, when they discovered the structure was on fire, but the presence of mind on the part of the pastor, Rev. H. H. Barbour, soon restored order, and the entire congregation escaped |to the street in safety. There was some pushing and crowding at times, but no one was injured. The pastor had spoken about ten minutes when he noticed a gentleman, who had oc- cupied a seat in the center of the church, arise and come forward. He walked up the main aisle toward the pulpit and beckoned Rev. Barbour to one side. “There will be a panic soon if we are not careful,” he whispered. “The church is on fire. Sparks are falling from the dome.” Rev. Barbour glanced up at the dome and Saw sparks were falling. He told the con- gzegation that the services could not be continued. “anere are good reasons,” he announced, “why I cannot preach to you tonight. We will even dispense with the closing hymn and benediction, and I will ask you all to leave your seats quietly and in order, but with as much haste as possi- bie.” Several who were seated in the center of the church saw the falling sparks. A score rose hastily and started for the exits in he rear. Others arose, not knowing what was the cause of the excitement, but the pastor cautioned them to go slowly, and soon the church was emptied. The fire caught in the dome from a leak in the large gas pipe leading to the chan- delier in the center of the church. By the | time the congregation had left the church | the dome was in flames. In the meantime | the blaze had been seen by parties outside the church and an alarm turned in. Quick work by the fire department saved the building from destruction, and confined the fire to the dome. The loss is estimated at $7,500. Returns from ail the counties in Nebraska give Harrison (republican) Holcomb (populist), 5,307; Irvine (emocrat), 87,4; Bittenbender (prohibitionist), 7,450. Harrison’s plurality, 7,242. The populists made a small gain in most evecy county, but not enough to overbalance the repub- year. The populists last year carried forty- one counties; republicans, forty, and demo- jcrats, nine. This year the populists carry | fifty-seven counties; republicans, twenty- | five, and democrats, eight. These figures encourage the populists. oe A. ALU.

Lehigh A Traffic Alliance Between #1 New Haven Reads. It is officially announced that a close traffic alliance has been made between the Lehigh Valley Railroad and the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Com- | pany. This is said to be a revival of th | struggle for the control of the New England ) coal trade by President A. A. McLeod on the one hand and the Vanderbilt-Morgan party on the other, waging ever since Mr. | McLeod invaded the latter's territory, ‘The New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad is the great, and thus far success- ful, rival of the New York and New Eng- land road. An official of the Lehigh Valley Trailroad Company states that the allance is s'mi- lar in object to that which Mr. McLeod plan- ned and partially executed for the Reading company—that is, an entrance in New Eng- land territory and an interchange of traffic, | which will prove mutually beneficial to both roads. A circular of tariff rates from the coal | fields of Pennsylvania via Jersey City and Harlem to all points on the New York, New Haven and Hartford road and its | branches has already been prepared and | issued, or will be within a few days. | It is said that the making of the traffic agreement, when Mr. McLeod was plan- ning a connection with the coal fields, is an | evidence that the Vanderbilt-Morgan party | intend contesting every inch of President | McLeod's progress. Indeed, it is openly «s- serted that they will not rest content until |they have driven him from the railroad management in the east. The same people say that the Lackawan- na deal was the first step to drive Presi- dent McLeod from his territory, and that | within the next year the interests which secured control of that road will also hold | voting power in Lehigh Valley and Read- | ing, both of which stocks are now and have been for some time quietly absorbed by these interests. Another statement fs that President Wil- bur of the Lehigh Valley will resign at the next annual meeting of his own volition, | and that the Vanderbilt-Jersey Central par- | ty will name his successor. The control of the road, however, the story goes, will be | held jointly by the interests referred to and the Packer estate. Prominent railroad men and financiers think that the deal is greater in extent than | has ever been attempted by a syndicate of | capitalists, and within the next year it is expected that the centralization of voting | power will be in full control of the anthra- | cite coal trade of Pensylvania and all the railroad lines in New England. NATIONAL LABOR ASSOCIATION. An Effort to Be Made to Consolidate Organizations. At Philadelphia tomorrow the general leonvention of the Knights of Labor will be held, and it is understood that one of the most important questions which will be |considered will be that of the proposed \formation of a national labor association, | consolidating the Federation of Labor, the | Knights of Labor and all other similar or- ganizations. By the formation of such a national association it is said labor will be better protected, higher wares secured and maintained, and a beneficial influence exerted in politics.
