THE NORMANNIA BADLY DAMAGED. Passengers Were Thrown Into a S Panic. ACCOUNTS OF THE AFFAIR. NEW YORK, Jan. 23.—The steamer Nor- manaia, which sailed last Thursday for Genoa, returned to this port this morning with a smashed deck house. On Sunday morning during a strong easterly gale a heavy sea boarded her forward and swept aft, carrying away rails, stanchions and completely wrecking the forward deck house, and flooding the cabins. As soon as the break could be covered up with can- vas the ship was turned about and headed for New York. The damage according to ‘Capt. Hebich can be repaired in twenty-four hours. The vessel can be coaled and again ready for sea in forty-eight hours at the furthest Passengers are all well and will remain on board until the vessel sails. Struck by a Tidal Wave. The Normannia was struck at sea by a tidal wave, which swept away some of the deck rooms and part of the promenade deck and injured seven men, including the sec- ond officer, who, :t is feared, will die. ‘The wave sprung the hurricane deck, wrecked th:: ladies’ yarlor, the music room, the main sawons, both upper and lower, aad fivoded the sieerage. The 120 first-class and the 145 steerage passengers were thrown into a painc when the immense wave boarded the ship. The list of the injured is as follows: The injured—E. Kading, first second offi- cer, probably fatal internal injuries and bad injuries about the head. Unconscious from time of accident until this morning. W. Pompati, deck steward, serious injuries on leg and side. Keke, steward, bad cuts on head and arm. Koetschan, steward, cuts on head, badly bruised. Kolbe, steward, bad cuts and bruises, Schilds, musician and steward, bad cuts on head. Ronnicke, musician, cuts on head. All of the inured men are from Germany. A Passengers Story. The following account of the accident was told by a passenger: “We were about 750 miles out at sea last Sunday morning when the wave came aboard. All day Saturday the ship had been running at half speed in the teeth of @ terrifie gale. About midnight Saturday the gale moderated somewhat, and at 5 a. m. full speed was ordered, the sea having quieted down somewhat. Most of the cabin passengers were in their berths, and the second officer was on the bridge in com- mand of the ship. Suddenly a tremendous sea, mast high, appeared on the port bow. It was impossible to alter the course of the vessel, and the big wave struck the vessel on the port bow, burying the steamer’s nose up to the bridge under tons of water. “The force of the blow smashed the front of the house on the promenade deck, com- pletely wrecking the first and second offi- cers’ rooms, the music room, the ladies’ room, the main saloon and the lower saloon. It also smashed the starboard bulwarks and railings, carrying away fourteen venu- lators. It sprung the hurricane deck, flood- ed the steerage with six feet of water and the cabins on the main deck with three feet of water. The passengers were awakened by the shock of the blow and the force of the inrushing waters. They tumbled out of their berths in their night clothing, and floundered through the water, which, in some instances, reached to their waists, to get to the companionways. “The general impression seemed to be that the big ship was going down head fitst. The cries of the injured and the shouts of the frightened passengers caused a panic which extended to the steerage, where everything was afloat. The captain, who had been on the bridge until 4 a. m., was stretched on a lounge in his room with all his clothes on. He awoke to find his cabin flooded and attempted to open his door, but found it held fast by the wreckage. After some minutes he succeeded in forcing his Way ou: and rushed to the bridge. As soon as he realized the extent of the damage, and as the vessel continued to ship heavy ‘seas, which poured down into the gap made by. a _ wave, he ordered the steamer put ut. “The terror of the passengers wa: » for the time being, increased by the turning of the ship as she pitched into the trough of the sea and rolled from side to side, alternately burying the hurricane deck first on the port side and again on the star- The steamer quickly righted her- self, however, and ran before the sea. Cap- tain Hebich, realizing that his vessel was too badly injured to continue the battle with the gale and heavy seas, decided to put back to New York. “His announcement to this effect gave great satisfaction to the passengers. The return trip was comparatively without in- cident. Within a few hours after turning back the ship ran into better weather and then temporary repairs were completed. It was an intense relief to the passengers when they caught sight of the Fire Island light this morning. The effects of many of the passengers were ruined by the water.” The ship was damaged between $75,000 and $100,000, which is fully covered by in- surance. Among the passengers were John Quincy Adams, Mrs. Adams, Count and Countess De Burgau and Lieut. W. Gordon Kellogg and Mra. Kellogg. ———_— TALMAGE MAY RECONSIDER. His Retirement May Cause the Down- fall of His Church. NEW YORK, Jan. 23.—The Sun says it has been discovered that there is a short- age of at least $21,000 in the accounts of John H. Wood, who was, up to a year or so ago, treasurer of the Brooklyn Taber- nacle. At that time suits were begun against the Tabernacle by several trades- men for the payment of notes given by Wood, An investigation of the treasurer's accounts were begun, Wood's place being filled in the meantime by the election of Birkett, the present incumbent. The ex- pert has now made his report to the board of trustees. He found, he says, many things indicating gross carelessness, to use no harsher term, and he found also, he adds, that there was more than $21,000 which was unmistakably appropriated to his own use by Wood. The trustees held a meeting at the church last night, and the case of Mr. Wood was discussed. The resignation of Dr. Talmage was also discussed, and it was the general sentiment that if the financial affairs of the church could be placed on a firm basis Dr. Tal- mage could be induced to remain. An ap- peal to the citizens of Brooklyn was drawn up, setting forth the great work accom- Brooklyn to contribute whatever they could toward paying off the entire debt of $200,000. Russell Sage was seen during the after- noon at his office. He said he had received nothing from his loan to the Tabernacle vet. He was of the opinion that when Dr. ‘Talmage realized that he was in a meas- ure responsible for the position in which the church found itself, and that it would inevitably go to ruin if he persisted in re- signing, he would reconsider his resignation and fight it out till all was paid. age CLAIMED BY MEXICO. Several Islands Off the Coast of Southern California. ST. LOUIS, Jan. 23.—A special to the Globe Democrat from the City of Mexico says: movement is on foot in Mexico to annex a portion of what is commonly considered to be Southern California to this republic. It {s claimed that the relinquishment of the Californian archipelago, off the coast of southern California, has never been made either by Spain or Mexico to the United States, and that, the islands comprising it very properly are Mexican soil. The three islands to which the claim is made in par- ticular are those of Santa Catarina, Santa Rosa and Santa Cruz. A committee has been appointed at the instigation of the geographical and statistical association of Mexico to push the claims of the republic to possession of these islands. The claim is made that on the transfer of California to the United States these islands ‘were not included. shed by tHe pastor during his service of | paintings, Rwenty-five years, and asking the people of | Painting SUING FOR $4,000,000. People Who Claim to Be the Legiti- mate Heirs of N. W. Kittson. 8T. PAUL, Minn.,Jan. 23.—Probably the most sensational suit ever brought in the Minnesota capital was that begun yester- day by the heirs of Sophia Crevier of Mc- Leod county against the heirs of the late Norman W. Kittson for the $4,000,000 left by the latter, upon the claim that Mrs. Crevier was the wife of Mr. Kittson, and that all of the children of Mr. Kittson, eleven in number, are illegitimate, with the exception of Norman Kittson, the eldest, now fifty-one years old. The scene in the court room was intensely dramatic. The central figure was Father Savoux, the pioneer priest of Minnesota, now eighty years old. Beside him sat Charles Perry, brother of Sophie Crevier, who ts alleged by the claimants to be the first and only lawful wife of Norman W. Kittson. Sophie Crevier, or Sophie Perry, as she was when Commodore Kittson first knew her, is alleged to be the mother of the commodore's eldest child, Norman Kittson of this city. If her claim as the widow of Commodore Kittson is established it will make illegiti- mate children of every one of the Kittson heirs living, with the exeception of Norman who was the only heir present at the open- ing of the suit yesterday morning. It is alleged that during the lifetime of Sophie Crevier Mr. F. C. Jerrett, one of the claimants, under a written contract with Sophie Crevier, happened to learn of her early alliance with Commodore Kittson through compiling a history of McLeod county. He informed her of her alleged right, and obtained, in common with Judge Brisbine, a written contract calling for one- half of the widow’s third of the Kittson estate. The claimants held that a common law marriage existed between Sophie Perry and Norman W. Kittson, and that all other marriages contracted by parties afterward were illegal. The Kittsons, on the contrary, claim that this union was merely a Mason, and that the claimants have no legal right to any portion of the Kittson estate. ——> DEATH FOR A DEAF MUTE. Convicted a: Sentenced for Murder- ing His Sister-in-Law. FREDERICTON, N. B., Jan. 23.—Judge Barker yesterday sentenced the deaf mute, Edward M. Wheary, to be hanged on’ Fri- day, April 20 next, for the murder of his sister-in-law, Bertha Wheary. When brought into court yesterday morn- ing the prisoner's face bore an expression of sadress, which was relieved at times by @ bashful, boyish sort of smile. An interpreter communicated all that was said to Wheary. The prisoner signed that he understood the charge after it had been explained to him by the interpreter. “I am innocent of the crime, and don’t know who committed it,” he said on his fingers, and the judge then passed the sen- tence of death, which the interpreter re- peated to the prisoner. Mrs. Wheary was about to give birth to @ child at the time of her death. In his ad- dress to the jury Judge Barker said that ay two lives had been taken by the mur- jerer. Nikegetd does not appear to realize his po- sition. The crime was committed a few miles from here on September 27 last. Mrs. Wheary’s people had gone to a prayer meeting and left the deaf mute and hi sister-in-law in the house. When Bertha’s husband returned a couple of hours later | he found her lying in a pool of blood on the floor, with her skull crushed in and her limbs and body horribly gashed. Near the body a blood-stained ax was found. Suspicion pointed at once toward the deat mute, but when arrested he de- nied any knowledge of the crime, and has done so all through the trial. —__ MADE A MONTE CARLO. Roby, Ind., Becomes the Resort of Chi- cago “Sports.” CHICAGO, Jan. 23.—The Times says: Roby, Ind., has again sprung into prom- inence. That little station just over the Indiana line, east of South Chicago, has become a Monte Carlo. The sports of Chi- cago, who used to go down there to risk their sheckels on horse races and witness slugging matchés, are now drawn thither by the establishment of one of the biggest gambling layouts in America. It is said that 10,000 Chicagoans visit Roby every day for the purpose of combing the whisk- ers of the Hoosier “tiger.” Two weeks ago Chief of Police Brennan, acting under the instruction of Mayor Hop- kins, closed every gambling house in Chi- cago, and they have remained closed to this day. Several of the fraternity hold divers and sundry shares of stock in the Columbian Athletic Club, which a year ago built a colossal wooden arena at Roby for the purpose of giving practical illustrations of the manly art. The big covered amphi- theater has been converted into one of the greatest gambling establishments in the country. _— NO CARS WERE RUN. Awaiting © Action of the City Om- clals at Bridgeport. BRIDGEPORT, Conn., Jan. 23.—Every- thing was calm this morning and there was nothing to indicate anything unusual ex- cept that no cars were running on the Traction Company’s line. At the stables there were a number of new men on hand ready to go to work whenever the offi- cials should order, Most of them were Newark men. The officials said that no move would be made until Mayor Bostwick ®0 ordered. “We are in the hands of the city,” said Col. Heft, “and will wait the mayor's ac- tion.” It is thought, however, that there will be trouble when an attempt is made to move the cars and the assistance of the local National Guard companies may be needed. —— PERHAPS IT WAS EVANS. The Escaped Outlaw Believed to Be in Lower California, SAN DIEGO, Cal., Jan. 23.—A man Who came up from Lower California on horse- back last night is reported to have said that he saw two men at Tanama, about twenty miles east of Tia Juana, who answered the description of Evans and Morrell. He held no conversation with the men and did not know until arriving in this city that they might have been the bandits. Detective Thacker of Wells, Fargo & Company states that he has positive infor- mation that Evans and Morrell are now between Kings river and the San Joaquin and that in a very short time they will surely be caught. ——E— * Hoffman House to Be Sold. NEW YORK, Jan. 23.—Grosvenor S. Hub- bard posted an announcement yesterday that the Hoffman House would be sold at auction February 13. He directs that there shall be sold “all the furniture, bric-a-brac, works of art, linen, glassware and all other assets, property and effects now owned and used by the defendant, the Hoffman House, or its receiver, in the bus- iness of conducting hotels or’ restaurants at the following places: The Hoffman House, at Broadway and 25th street; the Hoffman cafes, at 7 Beaver street and at the corner of Exchange place and New street, and the Hotel Claremont.” >-— President Robison’s Final Decision. CHICAGO,Jan. 23.—A special to the Inter- Ocean from Cleveland, Ohio, says: It was definitely given out yesterday by President Frank De Hass Robison that the Cleveland Base Ball Club will stay in Cleveland during 1894. Robison will draw the financial lines a little closer this year, however. The club will consist of only fourteen players, instead of eighteen, as last season. Young, Clarkson, Cuppy ‘and Fisher will pitch and Zimmer and O'Connor will catch. ee Held for Further Examination. Millie Batley and Isaiah Johnson, the colored couple arrested on suspicion of having imitated “Jack the Slasher” at the house of A. E. Wall, corner of 4th and Pomeroy streets in the county, as publish- ed in yesterday’s Star, were released, and Willis Devine, Nellie Dennis and Willis Johnson were arrested. This trio appeared in Judge Kimball's court this morning on a charge of vagrancy. It was stated that Devine, who lives in the rear of the Wall residence, had made threats against the family, and the court held him for further investigation. The other prisoners were re- leased. BOULEVARD RAILROAD An Important Meeting in Regard to It Held Yesterday. WORK 10 BE COMMENCED AT ONCE. Already a Beginning Made at Bal- timore and Laurel. A TROLLEY BOOM. The magnates who are the leading spirits in the Boulevard railroad scheme, which Propeses the building of an electric railroad between Baltimore and this city,held a con- ference yesterday at the headquarters of the company, which is in the McGill build- ing. Messrs. William L. Elkins, P. A. B. Widener and Thomas Dolan of Philadel- phia and T. Edward Hamilton and David M. Newbold of Baltimore were the repre- sentatives present. It is understood that the plans of the syndicate were discussed as to a number of the details,and it is stated that final arrangements were made for a contract for the work of opening and grad- ing the line of the proposed road from this city to Hyattsville. As is well known, the controlling interest in the Boulevard railway scheme also holds the control by purchase of the Belt and the Eckington railroad properties in this city and the Traction Company of Baltimore. The control of these city railroad lines as- sures an entrance into the central part of the cities named. In addition to securing the two roads mentiored in this city, the charter right was secured from the Wash- ington and Maryland road, a company which was authorized by Congress to build @ street railway from the bounds of the city out Rhode Island avenue extended. It is cortemplated in selecting the route of the proposed Boulevard railroad to follow along Rhode Island avenue extended, be- ginning at 4th street east, just south of the Chase subdivision, and then going north a short distance, when the line of the Brent- wood road becomes practically that of Rhode Island avenue extended. Where It Will Start. The new road, it is understood, will start from 4th street east extended at the point above named and will be built along a route practically following the line of the Brentwood road to the District line and thence the remaining distance to Hyatts- ville. As it will be noticed, the new road will continue along the west side of the Washington branch of the B. and O. road, and it is stated that the further route of the road toward Baltimore will be along the west side of the steam railway, cross- ing the latter road below Muirkirk. From thence to Baltimore in a general way the route may be said to follow the line of the turnpike road. _ It will not be necessary for this com- pany to securg an independent entrance into the city, for the reason as given above, that it now owns a cortrolling interest in the Eckirgton road and by forming a juncture with this road on 4th street east extended the cars of the Boulevard Company can either be run over the line of the Eckington into the city or else the Spee ee can be transferred. It is be- lieved that the former system will be the ene adopted, as the main purpose of the projectors of the Boulevard Company in securing a control of railroads in this city was to afford a direct and uninterrupted entrance into the heart of the city for the through cars from Baltimore. Work in Baltimore and Laurel. It is stated that work has now begun on the Baltimore end of the Boulevard road and also at Laurel, and now it is intended that the work on this end of the line should be pushed ahead. The officials of the Boule- vard road claim that it is the intention to have their road in operation during the coming year. This would, of course, be easily accomplished, as the amount of grad- ing along the route that was selected with special reference to economy in construc- tion is naturally quite limited. A good many people are rather skeptical that \the projectors of an enterprise con- templating the construction of an electric railroad between thirty and forty miles long are really in earnest. It is said that such a road will not pay and that the competition with the steam roads will be impracticable. ‘To Boom the Trolley. However, the fact is undeniable that men of sound business sense believe in the prac- ticability of such a scheme as a money- making enterprise. It ig said.that the pro- jectors of this road, who are men accus- tomed to embark in large enterprises, look forward to a time when this proposed elec- tric road between Baltimore and Washing- ton shall only be a link in a system that will connect the cities of Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York, and thence to Boston by a road operated by electricity. It is also true that the money power which is behind this extensive enterprise is per- haps more deeply interested in the continued use of the overhead trolley system than any other combination that exists in the coun- try. They have large money interests at stake, and it is to their advantage that this system, which is notoriously the cheapest method of street car propulsion, should gain a foothold in this city. The effect, so it is said, of the occupation of the streets of the capital city of the nation by the trolley wire would be a great help in the contest which is going on in other cities, where zhe peuple are endeavoring to prevent the further en- croachments of the deadly overhead wire. SERRATE A BARBER’ MISCHIEF, His Work of Destruct in a Shop Where He Was Employed. Otho T. Lee's idea of a joke is entirely different from that of the police and the court, and his attempt to play what he called a joke got him in serious trouble. He is a barber by trade, and came here from Rockville. For a long time he worked in Birdsall’s shop in Mount Pleasant, but for some reason he recently severed his con- nection with the shop, and yesterday he played his little joke. It was about 6:30 o'clock when he went to the shop and did the mischief. The ashes in the stove were removed and rubbed in the newly uphol- stered chairs, put in the shaving cups and scattered in every direction in the tonsorial artist's place of business. The pictures were taken from the walls and smeared with filth, and a number of razors were ruined. Having completed his destructive work, he wrote a note and addressed it to himself. In this he conveyed the sad in- formation that his brother was dying, and contained a request for him to come to Rockville once. This he did to convey the idea that he had gone to Rockville, and therefore could not have committed the depredation. But Birdsall suspected him to the extent that he swore out a warrant, and turned it over to the police. Before Officer Mc- Donald could find him he was arrested by Officer McGrath for being drunk and dis- orderly in a barber shop on D street. Then he admitted that he had done the damage in Birdsall’s barber shop, and the two charges were preferred against him in the Police Court today. In the case of disor- dely conduct a fine of $10 or thirty days was imposed, and in the case of -nalicious mischief a jury trial was demanded. —.__ Watching Brooklyn’s Trolley Lines. Mayor Schieren of Brooklyn on last Fri- day night was nearly run down by a trolley car. He sent for the head of the police force and conferred with him as to the best method to check the speed of the cars, which has resulted in so many acidents. The police commissioner was of opinion that the proper thing to do would be to issue an order to the police force to watch the cars and report all cases where they ‘THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, JANUARY 28, 1894—-TWELVE PAGES.

SSSERuRE SESE ESE uM SEES eS ohEe SeESesec FOR STEALING “STARS.” Boys Who Take Papers From Door- steps Sent to Jail. Judge Miller appreciates the value of The Star, and today when two boys were tried for stealing copies of the paper he imposed substantial jail sentences which will pre- vent the offenders from depriving citizens of their papers for a few days at least. The prisoners were two colored boys, whose names were given as Joshua Smith and Henry Stanton. The former is several years younger than the latter, and so far as is known this was his first offense. Stanton has been in the business before, having been arrested some months ago for stealing copies of papers from the front doors of houses. Smith plead guilty to the charge, but Stanton, who had been arraigned before, said “not guilty,” as he thought he might perhaps get out of trouble without going to Jail. Mr. Wilkerson, dn agent of “The Star,” acted the part of detective in the case. He had received many complaints from sub- seribers of the failure to get their papers, and being fully satisfied that the carrier boys were doing their duty faithfully he started out to detcet the thieves, if possi- ble, and the result was that these boys were caught. In disposing of the case Judge Miller said he knew what it was to be deprived of The Star in the afternoon. Persons who engage in this sort of stealing, he said, cause more serious annoyance than those who carry off articles that cost many times the amount of money. As Stanton had been arrested and sentenced on simiiar charges before he was given two months in jail without fine and the younger boy was given five days because it was his first offense and he had been honest enough to admit his guilt. —-—. 4 POCKET BOOK RECOVERED. A Senate Clerk Does a Good Bit or Detective Work. Mr. W. A. Fields, file clerk of the Senate, did a little gratuitous detective work on his way to the Capitol this morning that resulted successfully except so far as the courts are concerned. He was on an ave- nue car and at the junction of 7th street noticed a well-dressed, elderly lady, evi- dently in distress, standing, about to board the car, and overheard her say that her pocket had been picked by a man in the crowd at the transfer station. Mr. Fields at that moment noticeg a man at the edge of the crowd acting rather suspiciously and endeavoring to get out of sight. Acting upon an impulse he alighted from the car and seized the man, telling him that he should call a policeman and have him searched. The man protested, but made no resistance, and after claiming that he was gentleman” and “above picking pockets,” Mr. Fields again insisted that he should be searched, whereupon the stranger took the lady’s pocket book from his own pocket and returned it to her. He repeated his assertion that he was “a gentleman,” and endeavored to establish this fact by producing a letter addressed to Frank D. Allen, editor Audibon County Advocate, Iowa. It was from an agent of the American Press Association. He said that he was Mr. Allen.Mr. Fields beid on to the man, hoping that a policeman might ap- pear, but as none came and as the time was passing he concluded to let the man go. Allen disappeared at once in the throng and almost immediately after the policeman came on the scene. Nothing was missing from the pocket book, which contained considerable money, besides pa- pers of value. The lady would not give her name. _ A Bequest Declared Void. In the case of Andrew Jackson agt. the vestry of Washington parish et al., Justice Cox, in the Equity Court today, made a decree declaring a devise of complainant's mother, Mrs. Susan Fitzgerald, who died May 6, 1892, void, and directed a convey- ance of the property, sub lot 21, sq. 933, to complainant. The bill filed by Messrs. Worthington and Heald set forth the de- vise to the Washington Loan and Trust Company, in trust, to manage the property and pay the net income to the Congres- sional cemetery, and charged that there was no such a corporation, and that the de- vise not being for a charitable use or pur- pose is void, as creating a perpetuity. Mrs. Fitzgerald left a bequest also to the Baptist ome, and this was contested and settled, and in the present case the supplemental ington answer of Washi consented to the decree. oe Death of J. M. Richards. J. M. Richards, a well-known printer and member of Columbia Typographical Union, 101, in which organization he had held many offices of honor and trust, died on Saturday at his residence, No. 7 H street, after a protracted illness. Mr. Richards was at one time foreman of the old Patriot and after- ward assistant foreman of the Republican and foreman of the Post. He leaves a wife. The funeral will take place tomorrow afver- noon at 3 o'clock from No. 7 H street north- west, under the auspices of the Independent Order of Mechanics, of which he was a prominent member, ehh ae Broke Into a Slot Machine. This morning a few minutes after mid- night three boys broke open the slot ma- chine in front of Emerich’s restaurant, op- posite the Baltimore and Ohio depot, and made off with its contents. They were pur- sued-by Mr. Emerich and the thieves drop- ped the pennies along the sidewalk. FINANCIAL. B. TOWNER, Vi were run at a rate of speed in excess of the maximum allowed by the aldermanic grants to the company, namely, ten miles an hour. Mayor Schieren said that he should pro- ceed aginst the company when it can be shown that they have exceeded this limit. Brooklyn juries continue to help along this reform by the admonitory es they give in accident cases. One of them recently gave a woman a verdict of $3,000 for the injuries she sustained in being thrown down by a street car. ane a system now has a total of 10,397 miles of wire, incl ‘span, lt 3 juding T.
