THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. MONDAY. OCTOBER 15, ISO,. Harbor of Hong Kong Literally Floating Dead Bodies. Hongkong. Oct. 15.—The estimate today placed on the terrible toss of life in the burning at her wharf of the steamship Hankow makes the number over 1,500. All the Americana and Europeans were saved and about fifty Chinese, who occupied quarters above the steerage. The harbor is literally floating with the bodies of dead •Chinese who were roasted alive or drowned. Try to Scuttle Ship. An effort was made to scuttle the ship at the order of the captain", In or der that the poor creatures might at least be drowned Instead of being burned to death. The cries could be heard for two miles inland, and the scene was witnessed by over 1,000 per sons standing along the wharves. Gov ernor Nathan, of the British quarter, and his staff were there. When the flames began to make headway in the Hankow's lower decks the Chinese were rendered mad and fought each other IJJ<e demons. The crew went down among them, but all their efforts to assist the Chinamen to escape or quiet them proved of no avail. Fears Are Entertained. An investigation Into the cause of the iire Is being made. It is believed that Chinese opium smokers are responsible. Part of the Hankow’s cargo was 500 bales of raw silk, 500 bales of raw matting and 400 bales of waste silk, and it Is thought that the Are was com municated to this cargo from the smokers. One report is that a runner for a Chinese boarding house knocked over a lantern as he came aboard the ship. Every attempt was made by the Are department to quench the flames.' The natives declare that the death of the countrymen was a punishment for rid ing on foreign vessels, and fears are entertained tor the future of the Eng lish trade and passenger business along the river.

Bra den’s company will produce at the Grand tonight, Tuesday and Wednes day. will give the"lAdles'of this city an idea of flofriaTof the fashions of that period which are being adopted tit the present time. For instance, the small oval-shaped hat worn well over the eves, the method u>f dressing the hair, which Is combed low over the ears and fulls down the back, and the straight front waists. * This condition is brought about nat urally. The actress knows that in or der to succeed in her business she must be attractive. So she busies herself more than the women of any other pro fession. studying all the artifices known t * modern science to beautify herself. No better set of models could have been selected upon which to display fashionable raiment than Edward A. Braden’s company Jn “On Parole,’’ which is composed of Charlotte Walk er Vincent Serrano. Frank E. Aiken, .Morgan Coman, Frederick Forrester, Scott Cooper, Francis X. Conlan, Thomas P. Jackson, Fay Wheller, Hel en Graham and Alethea Luce. There will be a matinee of “On Pa role" Wednesday. ^ “In Old Kentucky.” Seldom does a play achieve the rec ord that has fallen ;to the lot of that stirring drama of the Blue Grass State, In Old Kentucky,’* to appear Monday night and all the week at the Bijou. Produced originally in 1892,-lt has held the boards continuously ever since, and hold on the playgoer is remarkable, h is always presented In capital style by good ldayers, and with splendid S'cnlc equipment, to which, nd doubt, due some measure of its wonderful success, but this does not account for Its unusually long career before the pub- lb Whatever Is the secret of Its stay ing powers. It certainly has never lost h** drawing powers in the slightest de- sire. Last season was one of the most successful It ever enjoyed. “The Girl Patsy.” The attraction at the Grand opera nouse for Thursday and Friday nights, with a special matinee Friday, will be ' 1 he Girl Patsy," a new four-act com* »dv drama from the pen of Mrs. Jane .Mauldin Felgl. Life at an exclusive summer resort mm New York is the theme of the play, and the writer has composed a drama, not with a moral, but a moral id.t.v. Patsy, a girl of delightful per sonality, poses half unwillingly In woodland dell to a young city artist. H*‘ comes to profane, but stays to worship. This sylvan love afTalr reaches other ears, of course, and as artist has already a fiancee and tun day is set for the wedding, eompll- * H Hons follow. A crafty man servant g**ts hold of the sketch-book ami show it to the daughter of the house, the girl Hie artist does not want to marry. But the plotters and the French maid ••ver-reach themselves. The sketches bad to Patsy’s recognition as the true heiress. There Is a scene In act three, in which the father, an old Judge, sees the likeness between Patsy and his dead wife. An elopement of the coach man and the false heiress follows and the road is cleared for the artist and ms pretty model. All in all, it Is a good pbty. without melodramatic effect, without grotesque characterisation. “We haven’t had enough shooting in thi« town. The people seem to think they can run over the police and the law and we Have got to ehow them dif ferently.” This declaration was made Monday morning in police court by Recorder Broyles during the trial of S. R. Cock rill, a neatly-dressed young white man, a salesman for the Underwood Type writer Company, who, with several companions, is accused of assaulting and beating Bicycle Policeman Pearson Saturday night about 7 o’clock at Peachtree and Walton streets. During the hearing it developed that H. E. Jockey and S. P. Rowland, two other salesmen for the Underwood Company, who were in the court room, were with Cockrlll at the time of the trouble and cases were also entered against them. George McClain, another salesman, who Is said to have partici pated |n the row, was not. present and Ills arrest was ordered. Judge Broyles severely arraigned the trio of young men, indignantly roast ing them for their attack on the of ficer, who, it was shown, was trying to arrest Cockrlll for disorderly conduct. Officer Attacked. The evidence showed that Officer Pearson was attacked by five or six men and. roughly, handled. He stated that he was standing • on the corner waiting for a trolley car and heard Cockrlll and another man quarreling. He said he approached the men and told them to desist, when Cockrlll be came Impudent and declared Pearson could nor arrest him. The officer caught hold of Cockrlll. ne said, and. In a struggle, the latter fell to the sidewalk with the officer on top. At this juncture another man Jumped on Pearson's back and began choking him, leaving several scratches on his throat Pearson then raised up with his assailant on his back ami pulled his billle. As he did so, another man wrenched the billle from his hand. During the melee, Cockrlll is said to have struck the officer a terrific blow other prisoners.’’ in the mouth. The crowd was surging about him and Pearson drew his pistol, striking Cockrlll on the head. He finally succeeded In arresting Cockrlll and another young man, but the latter made his escape from another officer while Pearson w/w subpenalng wit nesses. * The fight created considerable ex citement and attracted a great crowd. Judge Broyles Talks. After hearing the evidence, Judge Broyles, who was visibly Incensed at the assault on the officer, made the declaration that there has not been enough shooting In Atlanta, remark ing: "I think this officer displayed re markable composure under the circum stances. He certainly had sufficient provocation to shoot, and to shoot to kill. If I were a policeman I wouldn’t let a crowd of men knock me down and abuse me In this way and get off at It. I would certainly use my pistol. I would shoot and would not cease firing until every chamber In the pistol was empty. This cose is not merely a case of man to man, but Involves the majesty of the law. This officer represents the law, and the assault on him was noth ing short of outrageous. The people in this town have got to respect and obey the law. They seem to think they can run over the police and the law, and we have got to show tipem differently. There has not been enough shooting in this town anyway.” . After his scathing reprimand, the re corder fined Cockrlll 3100.75 and bound him over to the state' courts under 31,000 bond on r the charge of assault and battery. He also bound. Jockey and Rowland over on the same charge under bond of 3200 each. These two men denied they took any part In the difficulty further than to keep peace. The defendants were represented by Attorney Van A. Batchelor. The at torney asked that the men not be lock ed up pending the giving of bond, but the recorder sent them Into the pris oners’ room, remarking? I will treat these men just like any Fast Southern Freight Col lides with Light Engine in Carolina. Special to The Georgian. Columbia, S.
