TORPEDO
WAS LONELY
Just One Broke Sleep of Strike
Last Night.
CLAMORING FOR PLACES
Larger Numbers of Old Men Are Now
Seeking Places With Ihe Company.
Mule Car Has Been Ban?
ished Forever.
The explosion of a torpedo in Man?
chester last night was the only thing re?
ported that disturbed tho perfect peaco
and quiet in connection with tho street
railway strike. At the offices of tho com?
pany the report of the evening was "ev?
erything quiet every whore and lnrgo
crowds riding."
While the strike has not been declared
off, the strikers nro applying In larger
number? than ever before for reinstate?
ment with the company. A total of ilf
teen njjpllcallons from former employes
were reported yesterday, and of this num?
ber six wero given employment. They nro
E. T. Dunn, C. Faudroo, E. A*. Cuter,
J. T. Pulling, P. L. Childrcy nnd XV. N.
Tnrbrough. Thirty-odd other applications
for employment came In, and tho com?
pany now has any number to choos'o from.
While tho organization keeps up the
fight, and many nro still sticking, many
of these have left tho city In search of
employment, nnd others nro seeking posi?
tions in other vocations In this city. A
number of tho men have applied to the
?various largo industrial plants In this
city and other Virginia cities, Hnd some
have gone to their homos in the country.
Have Many to Choose From. -
Tho company has now ceased to con?
sider applications for employment every
dsy, and has set apart Tuesdays, from
JO A. M. until noon, to receive applica?
tions for places on Its corps. All the reg?
ular men are uniformed, and present
o very neat appearance. Tho reckless run?
ners nnd tho Incompetents have been, about
weeded out, but as fast ns men violate
the rules they nro being dlrpensed with.
Always thero ?re others ready to tako
their places. Motormnn Payne and half
a dozen or more of the men who canio
here with Strike-breaker Fnrley aro still
here, and will remain.
Both tho owl cars r.rc now running ns
usual, and aro very well patronized. They
are protected by guards or policemen.
The hnrrncks at the Reservoir, main?
tained during the violent days of tho
strike, have now been vacated savo by
a few men kept there ns' guards, all tho
others having been notified that they must
get boarding houses elsewhere. This, the
men report, It hi not difficult to do. ex?
cept to get them closo to their work.
Mules Are Banished.
Tim mule car formerly run on tho
Fourteenth Street nnd Manchester Une
has been banished forever. The small car
formerly pulled by the mulos has been
rigged up with electric fixtures and a
trolley, and now goes spinning: over the
bridge at a bettor rate than tho old mule
motors. With tho removal of horse?
power from this enr tho last of tho old
horse cars has been seen.
Union wagons on the street aro not so
abundant now ns formerly, but some aro
still running and are fairly well patron?
ized.
Tho Public Service Company has re?
tained Mr. Robert II. Talley as attorney,
and through hlni will apply for a charter.
'As soon as the charter Is drawn It will
be filed with the Corporation Commission,
nnd then a general manager will bo
elected. The capital stock will, be $'J"),000
minimum and $.r?fl.ooo maximum.
Inquiry elicits the statement that Gen?
eral Organizer Orr, who left tho city
Sunday for Tennessee, is c>;pcctod bnck
lr. a few dnys. Ho gave his associates
in the strikers' organization to under?
stand that he would. Inquiry at tho ho?
tel whero he stopped elicits the statement
that he has vacated his room, and bade
thim good-bye. but did not say whether
he would return or not. To a reportor
for Tho Times-Dispatch several days be?
fore he loft Mr. Orr stated that be would
stay with the. local situation until sonio
seulement "frns re/iched. It Is not Im?
probable .that' Mr. Orr will go to Now
York In tho effort to securo a conferenco
with Mr. Frank J. Gould, the principal

possibly find his way about Rome."
VERY HANDSOME.
Vonotlnns, who know the new Pope
well, ray that lm will soon be as much
beloved as Pontiff as ho was yesterday
as tho beloved Patriarch of the poor of
the Adriatic, in appearance Pius N. is a
very handsomo man. Ho has a line,
erect figure, despite his sixty-eight years,
hi"! face greatly resembling that of the
lato Phillips Brooks, the eminent Boston
divino.
When ho pronounced his first benedic?
tion to-day at St. Peter's his voice rang
out with splendid resonance. in every
way to-day ho showed beyond a doubt
that ho has a dignity and personality in
keeping with tho best traditions associ?
ated with tho famous Pontiffs who for
centuries ruled tho Vatican.
The new Pope was attired all In wlilto
with the exception of red shoes. "When
ho was quite robed, the secretary of the
conclave, Moiislgnor Merry Del Val,
kneeling, offered him the papal white cap
anildst breathless silence. With a sliglit
smile Sarto took the white cap, placed it
calmly on his head, nnd dropped the red
ono lightly on the head of ' M bit si g nor
Merry Del Val, amidst a murniur of ap?
proval. This Is taken as a certain Indica?
tion that tho happy recipient Is soon to
bo raised to tho cardlnnlate.
THF. KISS OF PEACE. ?
As tho new Pontiff stepped from .behind
tho altar, tho only touch of color anout
him being Ills red and gold shoes, bo
really seemed the embodiment of his holy
office. His face was pnle and softened
by emotion. Ho paused a moment,' as ho
enmo before, the expectant cairdlnals^
then seated himself on the throno, with
a hurried movement, as though ho had
suddenly grown weak, ills hack was to
tho altar und he was enthroned to receive
the? so-called "first obedience" of the car?
dinals. They came forward, one by ono,
somo calm and smiling, others sober and
non-committal, while still others found
considerable difficulty, even at this hour,
In concealing their too obvious disap?
pointment,
All kissed his hand and foot, while he
saluted each on tho cheek with tho kiss
of peace. Then all broke Into the Te
Deuni with such effoct that scarcely an
eye was dry.
Plus N. then rose, and in a voice at first
tremulous, but gradually becoming full
and firm, administre?! tho papal bless?
ing to all of the members of tho Sncrod
College. It was received with bowed
and uncovered heads.
The fiishermati's ring not yet having
been found, a new one was placed cm the
Pontiff's finger as a symbol of renewed
power and evidence that the Catholic
Church has once more n sovereign head.
BEI-iES BOOMED.
In the meanwhile masons and carpen?
ters had been busy breaking down doors,
so that the oardlnal deacons, together
with the master of ceremonies and the
conclavista and many others, might pro?
ceed to the balcony of St. Peter's, When
tho windows on the balcony slowly oponed
and the great gleaming cross was seen
by the populace holow, the excitement
and Impatience heightened lo the ex?
treme.
Slowly Cardinal Macchl, secretary of
liio Congregation of Apostolic briefs, ad?
vanced ami, exclaimed In a loud voice:
"Annunllo vobis gaudlum magnum ba?

WELD SATISFIED.
All the members of tho Sacred College
declaro that they nro very well satisfied
with the election of Cardinal Sarto, but
tho antl-Rampolla party consider It ai
their special victory. When tho first bal?
lot was taken It showed that tho Sacred
College was divided Into two groups, the
stronger ono for Rnmpolla and! another
not quito so strong for Serafino Vnn
n.utolli. The other votes wero scattered,
but Included four for Sarto.
On tho subsequent ballots, while the
two principal parties wero losing ground,
Sarto gradually gained, drawing strength
from both sides as well as from the neu?
trals until tho ballot on Monday after?
noon, when his voto bad increased to
thirty-seven, within six of tho necessary
two-thirds.
When tho result of this ballot wan an?
nounced In the conclavo Cardinal Sarto
was so overcomo with emotion and so
touched by tho unlooked-for confidence
reposed In him that he could no longer
control his feelings, and to tho surprise
of all he broke down, declaring that such
responsibility nnd honor were not for
him, and that ho must refuse if offered.
Tears rolled down his cheeks nnd ho
seemed firm In his detorm.iaiion to re
fuso the dignity. Ho was so palpably
sincere that consternation reigned In the
conclave, and tho cardinals spent the
whole evening and far Into tho night in
convincing him that bin election was the
will of Providence, and thnt ho must ac?
cept.
VOTE ANNOUNCED.
Several times he almost fainted, and
had to bo revived by the use of salts.
Ho seemed hnppy, but broke down, oven
after all tho other cardinals had retlied,
and on the flnel ballot ho looked n Btatue
of resignation. Cardinal Casettn. ns
scrutineer, was reading out tho vote.
When forty-two votes hnd been recorded
for the Patriarch of Venice, the scruti?
neer aros? nnd lifted his red zucchetto,
saying:
"Ilobomtis pontltlcem."
But from many sides cardinals cried
out, "Continue."
As the vote approached fifty, however,
tho cardinals, as of one accord, sur?
rounded the new Pontiff, and according
to rndltlon demanded to know if ho would
a^espt the pontificate.
Cardinal Snrto's ltps trembled so that
he noukl hardly articulate, but after a
visible effort, he said:
"|f-MJils cup cannot pass from mo?"
There he paused, but the cardinals
around him Insisted that it was necessary
for him to answer "Ves" or "Noj"
Thereupon ho replied firmly! "I accept."
Cardinal Gibbons, spoakiig for tllb As?
sociated Press, said that tho election of
Cardinal Sarto hud produced tho boat im?
pression in the entire Sacred College, be?
ing a man of such piety, tact nnd culture
that no was best suited to be the head of
tho church at tho present time. Cardinal
Gibbous hopes thnt tho coronntlon of
Plus X. will take place soon in order Hint
foreign cardinals mny be nblo to assist.
Others think that the coronation may be
postponed for three months to a moro
propitious time.
Mltcil SPECULATION. " -
There Is much speculation regarding the
political attitude of tho new Pope, Inas?
much as he Jias j^Uj^ii'llclpatefl In the
general affairs of the church dij-jng hl?
career.
Queen Marguerlta considers hltn almost
a friend
Ono of his first sleps certainly will
be to ameliorate the relations of
the Vatican and France and try
to prevent a similar Struggle agalntfl
tho congregations of Spain. Ho Is
not credited with being particularly
favorable to Austria, as he still remem?
ber? how much hi? Fi'.thorlnnd suffered
under the domination of that country.
Plus X. admires the progress of Catho?
licism In America, and considers the
United .Stales a most forillo Held for re

the nearby streets, tho delay on the
fourth morning of the conclave being
Interpreted to mean ?hat a decision lind

thomselves across tho square and ner?

St Peter's boomed out tho three-quar?
ters' of tho hour, and there was still no
sign, either of tho smoko or of an an?
nouncement.
A second later the great central window
of St. Peter's facing tho piazza swung
slowly open. A loud shout arose, nnd
all rushed madly towards tho cathedral:
At tho open window half a dozen Vati?
can attendants appeared. Suddenly there
broke out In the fierce sunlight a gorge?
ous banner, bearing a cardinal's arms.
Reinforcements of troops crossed tho
piazza nt the double, then closed their
ranks and held back many who strained
every nerve to get close to tho win

Tho tension was soon relieved. Cardinal
Macchl, carrying a large red book and
preceded bv a glittering cross, appeared
at tho window. A wild shout went un.
Cardinal Macchl waved both hands for
silence. In a second a solemn hush fell
on the scene, broken only by a sharp
word ?f command from an officer, and
tho rattlo wherewith the troops brought
their rifles to the present. In clear tones
Cardinal Macchl read the preamble, the
people below meanwhile being senrcely
able to contain themselves until he reach?

went up. . ?? ,,
Those out of hearing of the cardinal s
volco joined In the acclamation and tho
whole square became one mass of men
and women, throwing hats In the air,
shouting and cheering at the top of their
voices.
Vainly the cardinal waved his hand for
silence. Finally, It was unite enough
for Cardinal Macchl to proceed and say
that the new Pontiff had taken the name
of Plus X. Then, with a blessing, he
left the window.
SCRAMBLE ENSUED.
Those below Instantaneously made a
rush lo go Into St. Peter's and a mad

Like a roaring wave the people swept

At its narrow window stood Cardinal

There was nothing he disliked so mucl

Friendly With Court.
Tho relations of Sarto with the house
of Savoy are well Illustrated by what oc?
cured1 two months ago, when tho King
o? Italy went to Venice to open the Inter?
national art exhibition. King Victor Em?
manuel gavo orders that tho pntrlnrch be
given precedence over all local authori?
ties, but Sarto having arived while the
King was speaking lo the Prefect, who Is
the highest government ofllclnl In the
province, ho refused to bo announced,
and said he would not disturb His Maj?
esty. He remained In nn ante-chamber
after favorably conversing with the gen?
erals and admirals gathered there. When
the King learned of bis presence lie came
to receivo him on the threshold of the
chamber and kept him In conversation,
accompanying him afterwards In a gon?
dola, while nil tho soldiers nnd guards
rendered Snrto military honors. Natur?
ally this does not mean that Sarto, once
Pope, will fundnmcntally change tho pol?
icy that tho church has ndnpted towards
tho Italian state, but certainly his per?
sonal feeling will bo favorablo to mod?
eration.
Advleos from Riese, the birthplace of
Pius X.. and a village of 4,000 inhabi?
tants, state that the Tope's mother, now
dead, when living there, occupied a small
peasant's hou'ie, having In her humility
always refused to live with her son Gul
seppe, as even his modest establishment
was considered by her to be too
luxurious in comparison with what she
was accustomed to. The older brother of
tho Pope, Angelo, lives In the village of
Dellegrazie, Province of Mantua, being
postman of the district nnd receiving
eighty dollars a year for his duties.
Ho n/lds to his Income by keeping n
shop. In which he sells tobacco and pork.
His two daughters ar the belles of the
village, being known for miles around as
tho "handsome Sarto Flsters."
When Plus X. was bishop of Mantua
his brother Angelo used often to go
there for reasons connected with his pos?
tal service The other clerks would ask
him Jokingly why his brother did not
find him ft better position. Angelo, with
sturdy Independence, answered that ho
preferred only to bo what he could make
himself. Still, following papal prece?
dents, the tobacconist and postman of
Dellegrazie should become a royal count
?
WELL RECEIVED
Choice of Cardinals Is Pleasing to Vir?
ginia Catholics.
There Is every reason to bolieve that
tho elevation of Cardinal Gulseppe Sarto,
patriarch of Venice, to tho papal throne
will be decidedly pleasing to Americans
and even fort?nalo in Its effects upon
tho relations between tho Church in tho
United States and tho Holy See.
According t?> all accounts tin? new Pon?
tiff is a man of broad and liberal mind,
distinguished alike for his modern, pro?
gressive spirit and for the purity nnd
piety of his Ufo. A man of profoutiii
scholarship and exalted position lie is
yet simple and unaffected In his way.-?.
Perhaps his most distinguishing trait Is
charity for his fellowman, The selection
of tho name of plus may be significant of
ninny things; Is significant of the man,
Plus IX, was chiefly noted for his good?
ness and his benevolence.
The new pope, it Is said, holds the
1 "ni ted States particularly In his es?
teem. His liberal mind accords well with
tho spirit of the Church here, und tlir?
relations between Rome nnd America un?
der the new regime will probably bo very
pleasant.

Tho ofiiclal notification of the election

delegate to the United States. The mourn?
ing draperies on the Cathedral will prob?
ably be removed very shortly. Bishop
X'nn do Vyvet- himself is out of tho city

In the absence of tho Bishop. Father
"Ungii. of the Cathedral, was seen yester?
day. When In Romo several years ago
he was fort?nalo enough to see Cardinal
Sarto. Speaking of the nowly-olot'tod
pope, he said I
"Ho Is especially romarkablo for the
exorcise of Christian charity. Ho will
prove to bo the 'ignis Aidons' as has
teen, whether truly or untruly, I know
rot, prophesied of Pope I.eo's successor.
"Since 1893 he has held ono of the nio.-t
Important posts In Italy?that of Pa?
li larch of Venice, If any man can suc?
ceed In reconciling the frequently conflict?
ing elements of Church and State, that
man will bo the former Cardinal Sarto,
who has not only boon all along 11 fa?
vorite of Pope Loo, but has been n prime
favorite with tlm Italian government. A
thing that will prove to be h great fac?
tor for tho success of his reign lr, tho fact
1 l~.iit. besides being a man of eminent tal?
ents and profotinfl piety, he Is above all
a man of sound common sense.
"The fui-e of tho now Poiiilit Is i singu?

"l.e( tho whole Christian world rejoice
because there has arisen n worthy chief?

the lamented Leo nnd will, like him, COP?

"Thn axiom: 'Ho who goes Into the cop?

verified in the election of tlm now pou
tlfl'. Tho candidates most talked of have
been passed over. One ha? been elected
who, whilst frequently mentioned ns

nt largo to have tho strongest following.
In the choice of Ihe present pontiff, as In

JOTTINGS FROM THE
BASE=BALL DIAMONDS
Norman Elberfleld, one time favorite
of the base-ball fans In this city, on fiat
unlay mndn a remarkable record In the
game between the Now York Americans
and tho chanjploji Athletics at N??w Yor.<~.
Ills feat was nothing moro nor less than
defeating, singlo handed and alono, tho
plchlng phenomenon. Rube Waddoll, when
the great left-handed twlrler was at his
best. Of nil tho nine stars of tho Now
York American I/caguo aggregation who
faced Waddell, not one managed to rip
off a safe hit except Brownie. He made
a marvelous record. In four triais at
bat, bo lined' out a clean single each
lime, thus making a perfect batting av?
nge for the day. nnd the only hits minie
by his team. Waddell has given Copi'Oy
Ills baso on balls twice and allowed lie?
?\illo to walk once. Jack Chesbrr/ who
vus pitted against the formidable Wan
dell, managed to advance Be ville by a
sacrifice. In every case Elherfield canio
111? with bis Inevitable single and enabled
New York to score all thron of Its run.-.
All tlm champions could do was lo scorn
twice with tho seven scattered hits allow?
ed ihoni by Ohesbro. It was a star pitch?
ing exhibition all around. Although beat?
ing by Elberllold's remarkable batting
record, Waddell managed lo strike out
thirteen of New York's batters and put
out another himself, thus leaving tho
other seven men on the tonm to put out
tho other ten among them. Besides his
hilling. Elborfielil accepted all hi? chances
at short, without error.
Jack Chosbro, ?m old Richmond pitch
<rr, mid one of tho Pittsbur-j champions
twirling staff last year, has not made ns
lino a record with the New York Ameri?
cans this season, though he has liliclieil
perhaps as well. In Plttsburg he had be?
hind him one of the strongest batting
teams in tho country, while In New Yoik
his support In this respect is rather weak.
Besides this, Che.shro has lost .many
games by an eyelash, through an error
or a remarkable bit of link by his nppon
fllts, Ills -,'lti'hll - against AVnddell Hat
uiflny was up t<? Ii'h best standard, and
tho indications nro that he will yot pull
his avoiage Of games won up to tho
mark of Cy; Young and oilier lending
pitchers of the American league before
the season ends. Clarko Griffith, nl
tjiougll ono of tho ohlest pitchers in the
business and burdened with managerial
dull?..-, has minio tho best pitching rocina
for the New York Americans, and, s
improving as ihe season advances. *'?'li?
mit, of New Yoik, and Young, of Bo'
tou. two of tho oldest pitchers In I'"")'
of service, In base-hall of to-day. have
both been as good this year ns ever Di
fore, in fact, Young Is even beltei.
judged by the percent?g-S of games won.
B.ilph Seybold. olio of -Richmond s
fcrmsr Players. Is now for the M?ona
se a son with the Athletics, last VBir?
champions. He Is balling well above 3W
ami Is ono ?>f tho extra base ?tira Of the
league. His team is In second place In
the l.nauo race. Pickering, another .Vji?
Sinln Leaguer, who is with the All letle*,
is playing a fast-fieidio-r game., pus Mi?.
champion baso-runner close for his lauiclo
and batting in the select company of the
base-ball "300."
Sam Loever, the only one of the bunch
of ex-Richmond iiltchers, who helped
Plttsburg win two pennants and who ia
still with them. Is still keeping up his
fine work, and among the best of tl.o Pi?
rate tvylriers.
McGlnnlty. formerly with ?t-iltimoie
and Brooklyn, and now the tn'i"*"Uay of
John MrGraw's rejuvenated Giants, made
an uuuansl record last Saturday. He
pitched for eighteen Innings consecutive?
ly ngaliiKt two of Boston's heat pitchers
?mi won both games?1-1 and 5-2?allow?
ing but six hits in each game, This la
a very unusual thing, and ranks the New
York pitcher among the best.
A remarkable game of base-lull was
played at Washington on Saturday by
Washington and Boston, American. The
veteran Young, pitching for Boston; \\aa
ontpllched by Howard Wilson, the Wash?
ington twlrler In a 1-0 game. Young yield?
ing seven hits and WIIkoii but live. The
remarkable thing about tho game was
that the full nine innings were played In
lust one hour and five minutes, record
'time. Washington bunched three singles
In the fill h Inning and that was what
caused Young's downfall. But for that
the struggle might have Bone extra tu?
ning?.
Philadelphia Is Ihn best base-hall town
In the world. On RaturTIay It turned
out a crowd of 9,.",18 persons to see the
tail-end Phllles Play a second division
team, and largely as a consequence of
this encouragement the tailors took boih
games. The Quaker City people turn out
to base-ball year In and year out, whethor
Its learns are winn'ng or losing. Tho best
crowd elsewhere was 8,02,'i at New York,
to see tho great match, between Waddell
and Chcsbro. ,
The Boston National League team has
picked up a valuable pitching Und named
Williams. On Friday he let the Giants
down with throe hits and won his game
against the great Mnthewson?4-1.
Many numen familiar to local hnse-boll
enthusiasts are found in the score sheetu
of the Pacific League, In tho far W?-t.
Among the number aro Klsoy, Z?'glor,
Klopf, Diesel, Durrett, Kuno, ltouch,
.Shallot- and others.
Aocorsllll, a Lynchburff (Va.) boy Is
making a good record as catcher for the
Memphis team, leader? Of tho Southern
League' race He catches a majority of
the gurries and does It well, and hits the
brtll ut a good pace.
Plttsburg looks good for another Na?
tlonal I.ciigiio pennant, with New York
and Chicago as the rivals for the honor.
The Pirates havo a load which the other
rivals can hardly overcome. ? The team
is now greatly crippled.
In the American League, tho Boston ag.
gregation looks like a sure thing for the
flag, Philadelphia Is clinging doggedly
on to the second round and may yet null
tho championship out of Hie tire ?n the last
dints of the now waning season. The
Clovelaild crew have a little the best of
Griffith's New Yorkers, and may hold the
poMtlon. but the New York aggregation
rhould land us well as third In the race.
It looks Ilka a finish with Boston. Phlla
rielphia and New York?one. two. three.
