Pittsburg, Pa., June 29.—The break
ing of a shaft on the first floor of the
A. J Heinz Company’s plant in Alle
gheny to-day released the hopes sup
porting a large freight elevator, on
which twenty-three persons were
crowded. The cage fell from the fifth
floor into the cellar, a distance of for
ty-five feet, and every one on the ele
vator was injured. It is thought that
at least two will die.
The list of injured:
John Chutney, Allegheny, both legs
broken: will likely die.
Mrs. Edward Holman, Mount Hope,
M. J„ injury to spine; will probably

Cage Wn* Overcrowded.
When the accident occurred the ele
vator was evidently overcrowded. Ac
cording to w'hat was told this even
ing by Dr. J. S. Phillips, physician at
the plant, the antics of two men on
the elevator who were intoxicated
caused the disaster. Dr. Phillips says
the two men crowded on the car after
Mug told by the operator to stay off.
Once on they commenced jumping,
with the result that the shaft snap
ped and left the elevator without con
trol.
According to the story told by Wil
liam Koncana a dry goods merchant of
Cleveland to-night at the hospital,
there was no disorder in the crowd.
I thought there were too many on
the car,” he said, "when I saw how'
crowded we were, and as soon as the
car left the fifth floor I am certain
every one realized that something had
happened to the machinery, and that
the elevator was slipping. There w r as
hot a sound or cry uttered by any one
until we landed in a heap in the
cellar.”
All but tw'o of the injured were vis
itors to the Heinz plant. Weber and
Thompson are employes of the com
pany.
The CleveUupJ company are members
of tht Bohemian Catholic Central Un
ion, and took part in the blessing of
the guns of the cadets of St. George of
Alleghany on Sunday. To-day they
took for sightseeing, and the Heinz
Plant was on the programme.
An examination of the plant and the
nia. hlnery showed that those Injured
narrowly escaped Instant death, as the
150-pound weight at the side of the
s jut ft shot to the roof of the building,

celling over the sixth floor. Had the
timbers been a little less stout the

sixty feet upon the mass of injured

CHARGED WITH BIGAMY.
H. J. McCne De., r ,ed a Bride of
Two Weeks.
Chicago, June 29.-Lieut. H. J. Mc
*/ Ue of the United States Army has
disappeared with a charge of bigamy
hanging over his head, and a deserted
bride of two weeks mourns his absence
and fears he has committed suicide.
The bride was Miss Viola Simmon of
• an Francisco, who married him after
a courtship of less than a fortnight.
She is now in this city, waiting for
money with which to return to her
father's house.
About the time the lieutenant was
bidding his bride good-bye this morn
ing and telling her that he would soon
return, a woman in Cincinnati, who
says she is his wife, informed the chief
of police there that he had contracted
a bigamous marriage. She said her
wedding took place while McCue was
an enlisted soldier stationed at Fort
Thomas.
The exposure was brought on when
Lieut. McCue asked his new father-in
law to send cards announcing the wed
ding to the woman in Cincinnati, who
now claims to be his wife. She has
been living there under the name a£
Ida I\ estcott and had corresponded
regularly with McCue until 1900. Mc-
Cue and his bride arrived here nine
days ago. Mrs. McCue said to-day
that he told her they were going to
Fort Porter. N. Y., where his regiment
had been assigned to duty.
Mrs. McCue said to-night:
When my husband left this morning
he said he was going to get his pay
and transportation at army head
quarters. I waited until noon and then
went to see Gen. Bates. My husband
had not been there, and then I feared
the worst.”
The bride’s father is Sigmond L.
Simmon, who has been cashier and
bookkeeper in the sheriff's office in
San Francisco for twenty-five years.
Mr. Simmon communicated with Chief
of Police O'Neall to-day through the
San Francisco chief, and arrange
ments are being made to send Mrs.
McCue back to San Francisco to-mor
row.
CONFER ON MANCHURIA.
Rnssiuna Have Been Called to Meet
at Port Arthur.
Pekin, June 29.—The Russian minis
ter, M. Lesser, has been suddenly sum
moned to a conference with Gen. Ku
ropatkin, the Russian war minister;
Admiral Alexiffe, n command of the
Russian fleet in the Pacific; M. Poko
ttloff, manager of the Russo-Chinese
Bank at Pekin, and other officers at
Port Arthur regarding Russia’s posi
tion in Manchuria. M. Lessar leaves
here July 1.
NOT DEAD. BUT SLEEPING.
It Is So Reported of the Manchurian
Question at Washington.
Washington, June 29.—1 t is indicated
to-day that the Manchurian question
may be permitted to rest temporarily,
so far as action at this end of the line
is concerned, since Secretary Hay has
left the city for a two-weeks’ vacation
and Count Cassini, the Russian am
bassador, is about to sail for Europe.
There are indications, too, that the
Russian government has found it pos
sible to shape her policy respecting
Manchuria so as to be more acceptable
to the United States. Secretary Hay
and Count Cassini within the last
week have conferred upon this subject
and it is apparent that there have
been some developments, which offi
cials do not care to make public at
this time.
In the negotiations with China for a
commercial treaty that government has
been insistent upon the opening of
certain ports in Manchuria, and the
new turn appears to have given a
more hopeful feeling in that direction.
MORE MARINES SEEDED.
They Are Recommended for Service
in Chinn.
Washington, June 29.—Rear Admiral
Evans, in a report to the Navy De
partment, has again called attention to
the necessity of maintaining an ade
quate force of marines at Olongapo in
the event of an emergency in China.
He regards the internal unrest there
with apprehension, and recommends
that the force of marines at Olonga.po
be increased from 1,000 to 1.500. The
marine corps is now 500 short of its
full quota, and recruiting will be con
tinued on an active scale this summer
in the effort to secure the additional
500 men for dispatch to the Philippines
in the fall. .

BRUNSWICK NAMED
AS THE OBJECTIVE POINT OF THE
STATE'S ROAD
IN CARRINGTON'S NEW BILL
IO EXTEND THE WESTERN AND
ATLANTIC RAILROAD.
Bill Provide* for the Employment
of 1.000 of the State's Convict* on
the II ork anil the l**unnee of 10-
1 ear Bond* to Defray the Expense.
Bill Panned Providing for the Fil
ing of Second Claim* Within
Twenty Day* After the DUminnnl
of f'irnt Claims—Other Legislation.
Atlanta, June 29.—1n the House to
day several new bills were introduced,
after which the calendar of measures
for third reading and passage was
taken up. ,
Mr. Carrington of Madison intro
duced a bill, providing for the exten
sion of the Western and Atlantic Rail
road f£om Atlanta to Brunswick. Tho
bill provides for the employment of 1,-
000 of the state's able-bodied convicts
on this work, and for the issuance of
ten-year bonds, at not to exceed 4 per
cent, to pay the expenses. The work is
to be done under the supervision of a
commission, with the Governor as
chairman and two members from the
Senate and four from the House.
Mr. Carrington’s object is twofold;
to give the convicts employment, which
will bring them least in competition
with free labor, and to protect the
state’s property by preventing its be
ing bottled up by other railroads.
For a Pure Food Bill.
Another important measure intro
duced was a resolution by Mr. Brin
son of Decatur, providing for the ap
pointment by the Governor of a com
mission of two from the Senate and
three from the House to investigate
the matter of adulterated foods, and
report a general pure food bill back
to the next session of the General As
sembly. , ,
Mr. Whitley of Douglas introduced
a resolution, providing for a committee
to investigate the feasibility of leas
ing the portion of the state’s right of
away adjacent to the Whitehall and
Forsyth street bridges in Atlanta.
Want Fishermen Licensed.
A rather radical fish bill was intro
duced by Mr. Overstreet of Screven.
Mr. Overstreet's bill provides that no
persons shall be allowed to catch fish
in the waters of Georgia for the pur
pose of selling them without first pay
ing a license tax of $25 per annum. It
will doubtless cause a storm of pro
test, particularly from the coast coun
ties.
The House passed a bill by Mr. Fel
der of Bibb, providing that second
claims must be filed within twenty
days after the dismissal of first claims,
and all costs of first claims so dis
missed must first be paid; also a bill
amending the road laws of the state
so that the road overseer is empowered
to collect the road tax instead of the
tax collector. The bill as passed ap
plies only to Walker and Catoosa coun
ties, but can be made to apply to other
counties by vote of the people in each.
Sympathy for the Speaker,
The House passed a resolution of
sympathy with Speaker N. A. Morris
because of the death of his father, N.
P. Morris at Roswell, late Saturday
night. Speaker Pro Tern Howard of
Baldwin presided over the session of
the House to-day.
SZ,t)OO Salaries for Solieitor*.
The Senate held a short session this
morning, passed one local bill, and
heard read several measures for the
first time. The only bills of special
interest Which made their appearance
were those by Senator Clements, pro
posing to place solicitors general on
salaries of $2,(100 each in addition to
the usual compensation for appearing
in the Supreme Court, and by Senator
Dobb to place upon the retirement list
all military officers who served the
state for a period of three years be
tween 1865 andlßß7.
Should Fnruinli Standard*.
The General Judiciary Committee of
the House this afternoon, after some
discussion, recommended favorably for
passage the bill by Mr. West of
Lowndes, requiring all railroad com
panies furnishing cars for the trans
portation of lumber to equip them with
standards and supports for keeping the
lumber in place while in transit. The
railroad people were t heard against
this measure last year.
This bill is of great importance to
the lumber interests of the state, as
they say at present they not only
have to supply the standards at con
siderable cost, but are compelled to
pay freight on them. Several Savan
nah lumberman were here last year,
when the math#' came up for a hear
incr
Want* No Mi*eegenntion.
The only other measure of impor
tance which was recommended favor
ably by this committee was the bill
by Mr. Flvnt of Spalding, prohibiting
the intermarriage of white persons
and negroes. There is a law now which
declares such marriages null and void,
hut it prescribes no penalty. Mr.
Flynt's bill makes the offense a felony,
punishable by imprisonment for one
to twenty years.

SAVANNAH. GA„ TUESDAY. JUNE 30. 1903.
RELIANCE SHOWED SHE
IS A ROUGH WATER BOAT.
She Defeated the Colombia and the
Cnnatltntion.
Newport, R. 1., June 29.—The new
cup yacht Reliance proved to-day her
worth as a heavy weather boat, when
she defeated the Columbia and Consti
tution in a stiff easterly breeze and
lumpy sea over a 30-mile course, fif
teen miles of which were a beat to
windward. The Reliance sailed the
course in four minutes and 8 seconds
less time than did the Columbia, and
4 minutes and 48 seconds than did
the Constitution.
All the racing in which these boats
have participated up to to-day has
been in light airs and smooth water,
but this afternoon there was a smash
ing, good, wholesale breeze blowing,
and considerable ytmp to the water,
conditions that are exactly suited to
the Columbia. With her owner E. D.
Morgan, at the helm, the old cup de
fender sailed a grand race, reaching
the windward mark only one minute
and 56 seconds astern of the Reliance
and 1 minute 31 seconds ahead of the
Constitution.
On the run home, however, the Re
liance pulled away steadily from her
opponents, while the Constitution gain
ed considerably on the Columbia.
Capt. Barr sailed the new sloop for
all there was in her. and gave her
r>BJ?ing and spars a thorough testing.
To-day’s race was the first of a
series given by the New York Yacht
Club, and there will be racing every
day this week.
' ALL THE STOCK TAKEN.

Philadelphia, June 29.—Official an
nouncement was made by one of the
executive officers of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company to-day, that the lat
est returns show that the $75,000,009 of
new stock has all been taken by the
shareholders, and that 90 per cent,
of it has been paid up in full.
As the stock was offered at S6O per
share, the issue of 1,500,000 shares rep
resents to the company a cash value
of $90,000,000, from which must be de
ducted about $2,500,000 in commissions
to the underwriting syndicate. From
the proceeds of the new stock issued
will also be repaid a temporary loan of
$40,000,000, made early in the present
year, leaving approximately $38,500,000,
as according to the official statement
made to-day. $81,000,000 of the $90,000,-
000 has been paid in.
It was announced to-day that the $40,-
000,000 borrowed by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company early in the year
would be paid off as the notes fell due
in the second and third weeks of July.
MADDEN’S TONE WAS
NOT QUITE SO BRUSQUE.

Heeling on Hi* Confreres.
Washington, June 29.—Third Assis
tant Postmaster Madden returned to
day from New York. He was closeted
with Postmaster General Payne and
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Bristow, with whom he discussed
his letter to the Postmaster General
calling for an investigation of the con
tract held by a manufacturing com
pany of Franklin.
Mr. Madden explained his letter to
the officials. It is understood that he
expressed regret at having acted
hastily and repudiated any intention
of reflecting upon officials of the de
partment in connection with published
criticisms of the contract. Mr. Mad
den had nothing to say for publication
on the subject.
STILLQUIET AT RICHMOND.
No Prospect, However, of the Strike
Being Declared Off.
Richmond, Va., June 29.—This has
been the most peaceful night in Rich
mond since the street railway strike
began. Absolutely no disorder has
been reported from any quarter.
Cars were run regularly on all the
city lines to-day and to-night, the
number of militia guards on the cars
being diminished and the passenger
travel being decidedly greater. There
are no indications that the strike will
be declared off. however. Both sides
to the controversy are maintaining
firm attitudes.
The company is now replacing the
strike breakers with men permanently
employed to operate the cars. Most
of these new employes are from Balti
more and other cities north of Rich
mond.

Kiel, June 29.—in bidding Emperor
William farewell on board the Hohen
zollern, Rear Admiral Cotton, on be
half of the captains and officers of his
squadron, said they would carry away
with them never-to-be-forgotten mem
ories of the hospitality that had been
shown them during their stay here.
The Emperor replied that the visit had
been charming to hint personally, and
he hoped it would be enduring in its
impress on the friendship between the
two nations.
Admiral Cotton and the captains of
'the American warships to-night at
tended a dinner given by the Yacht
Club in honor of the Emperor and sat
with his majesty and United State*

American* Won Races.
The American men of warsmen won
'two firsts, a second and a third in to
day’s raves, against the boats of the
German fleet. The Americans had five
boats entered in four events, while the
Germans had thirty-seven, and the
American crews were not familiar with
the course, and had not specially train
ed for the occasion.
The Chicago's sailing cutter, entered
by Midshipman Stephen Crowan, to
day won Princess Henry’s prize for
warships' cutters.
The willing launch San Francisco,
entered by Ensign George W. Steele,
Jr., won the prize in the race for war
ships’ launches.
The German crews cheered the Amer
ican winners heartily.
The Emperor presented the prizes to
the winners at the Yacht Club to-night
in the shape of personal gifts, to the
officers commanding the launches. En
sign Steele received a silver cup.
"I hope you will drink many a bump
er out of it," said Emperor William,
handing it to him.

naval officers and visiting Americans.
There was a “smoker” on the Kear
sarge to-night.
Emperor William was unable to be
present at the reception on the Kear
sarge, because he had engaged himself
ahead to distribute prizes at a tennis
match.
Prince Henry was at the reception
with the Princess, his wife. She danced
with Lieut. Hussey of the Chicago.
AN HONOR TO HAVE

Washington, June 29. —Secretary
Moody to-day received telegrams from
newspaper editors and others inquir
ing as to published reports that Em
peror William's inspection of the
Kearsarge was sharply criticized in
the Navy Department and was con
sidered a breach of naval etiquette. In
reply the secretary sent the following
telegram: *
"No criticism of the Emperor’s In
spection of the Kearsarge has been ut
tered by any responsible person in
this department, so far as I can ascer
tain. I am informed further by Rear
Admiral Taylor, chief of the bureau of
navigation, that the Emperor's In
spection is in no way subject to criti
cism, and can be considered in no
light other than courteous attention on
the Emperor's part to us. It is a long
established custom for foreign official*
to inspect battleships of friendly na
tions, and is regarded as an honor.

Louisville, Ky., June 29.—At the an
nual session of the Afro-American
Press Association held to-day, an ad
dress, dealing with the race question,
was unanimously adopted for Issuance
to the country at large. •
The address calls on the people to en
force the principles of good government
in “The present crisis in the history of
the Afro-American people, when a sys
tematic and thoroughly organized
movement begun in 1868, is working
with malicious and malignant energy
to utterly destroy the civil and politi

in some part as spokesmen.
"We resent the reiterated statement
that this is a 'White man's country.'
It was made in its inception and de

“The persistent effort which has been
made and is being made to nullify the

much danger lo the peace and security
of the federal union as was the effort
to hitch slavery upon the constitution
of the country prior to 1860.
“We again direct attention to the
effect produced by the license of mob

Shaw and Mr. Shoemaker, chief of
the revenue cutter service.
On behalf of the Trigg Company an
application was made for the Treasury
Department to allow the company to
take charge of the Mohawk, as soon
as she is releVcsed by the courts, and
complete her for the government. It

Atlanta, June 29.—Attorney T. S.
Felder Is out in a severe card to-day in
denunciation of Rev. Dr. Den G.
Broughton, who paid his respects to
the attorney in his sermon at the Bap
tist Tabernacle last night.
Dr. Broughton's remarks in his ser
mon, were called forth by an attack by
Mr. Felder in the Police Court, on the
occasion of the investigation of the
charges of Sunday violation against the
Ponce de Leon Amusement Company.
The following paragraph from Mr. Fel
der's card will give some idea of the
nature of it:
"There is no reputation so unsullied,
no character so irreproachable, that
this reverend follower <of the "meek
and lowly Nazarene," would not wil
lingly sacrifice for the delicious sensa
tion afforded him of seeing his name in
one of the dally papers of the city, un
der some such yellow Journal scare
head as: 'Dr. Broughton "cores the
Society Women of the City.’ ”
Dr. Broughton. In hts sermon, stated
that ever since he had been In the city
he had known Mr. Felder as a pro
fessional lobbyist. Mr. Felder defines
the charge of lobbyism from the Code,
and shows that it Is a felony. He then
calls upon Dr. Broughton to prove the
charge or demands that he make a pub
lic apology.
