Ix three or four weeks there will be
ready for her trial trip a peculiarly shaped
vessel, which, if the expectations of her
designer are realized, will revoludonixe
transatlantic passenger travel and dis
count the performances of the "City of
Paris" and other ocean greyhounds by at
least two days. The vessel in question is
the "Howard Cassard," and she is the In
vention'of Robert M. Fryer. The vessel
presents a radical departure from the
lines heretofore followed in steamship
building. Although she is 822 feet over
all and 206 feet between perpendiculars
her extreme breadth is only 18 feet and
her bow as sharp as a knife. Her ex
treme depth amidship is 18.4 feet, draught
forward Is 8 feet and aft 10 feet. This
would, under ordinary circumstances, be
fatal to ter stability, butto overcome that
the keel was made extremely heavy,
weighing 68,000 pounds, which acts as
ballast, and will, Mi. Fryer thinks, make
the "Howard Cassard" non-capsizable.
The machinery is powerful and the vessel
is expected to develop a speed of thirty
five miles an hour without any special
effort.
THE new law in regarT to school elec
tions is intended to make the proceedings
conform as nearly as possible to the pro
visions of the state constitution. It pre
scribes the qualifications of voters as fol
lows: "Every male person over 21 years
of age who is a citiz"n of the United
States and who has resided six months in
the district and is a taxpayer thereof, and
all female citizens of the United States
over 21 years of age who have resided in
the district one year preceding the elec
tion shall be entitled to vote." It will be
seen that there Is quite a distinctive
mode between men and women. The
man who votes must be a taxpayer of the
distraict; that Is, he must own real or per
sonal property in the district subject to
taxation or have paid a special per capita
tax. With women this qualification is
not required, but they are required to
have lived in the district for one year
preceding the election, instead of six
months, as in case of the men.
Tax great Anaconda company has been
compelled to shut down its entire works
on account of the exactions of the Mon

sort of a combination of Northern and
Union Pacific extortion and general cuss

"rackets" the Anaconda company his
had with this hybrid rairoad, and it is
about time that Mr. Daily should tell
them to go to Thunder and Blazes, with a
big T and B. The TitinussE would sug
gest as a remedy the building of the
Montana Central from Butte to Anaconda,
or as a second and better one, the con
struction of a big smelter and reulnioer at

"rackets" with railroads.

Tree. Torn Up by the Roots -The
Worst Storm in Many
Years.
Prrersouim, Pa., March 21.-A desperate
shooting affray occurred in a house at
Peter's Run, near McKeesport,at 7 o'clock
tonight that resulted in the killing of one
detective, the serious wounding of
another and the slight wounding of two
policemen and a woman. The shooting
Is the sequel of a bold burglary that oc
curred near Homestead. Six weeks ago
a girl named Laura 11111 entered the
Smith jewelry store at Homestead and
began pricing various articles of jewelry.
While in conversation with the girl three
men, who had forced an entrance from
the rear, struck the proprietor
down and bound him. Lights were
then turned out and the three
with the girl completely cleaned out the
store, escaping with $8,500 in cash and
jewelry. The Gilkinson detective
agency was given charge of the case, and
not long after the girl, who is known by
several names, was arrested in Harris
burg with a suspicious lot of jewelry on
her person. She was brought to the
McKeesport jail, and by judicious pump.
ing "peached" on her pals. Acting on
her instructions tonight Chief Detective
Gilkinson, of the Pittsburg agency, with
Detective Pat Murphy and two McKees
port policemen drove across the river
to Peter's Run, reaching the house of the
leader in the robbery, A. G. Budd, alias
Fitzsimmons, at seven p. m. Meanwhile
it is thought the girl had warned Budd,
for when G(ilkinson threw open the door,
Budd stood in the lower room apparently
changing his clothes. The moment Budd
saw Gilkinson he threw up a revolver
and fired, the ball entering Gilkinson's
forehead, killing him instantly. Detect
ive Murphy leaped over the prostrate
form In the doorway and, facing Budd, a
terrible duel at short range in the smoke
darkened room followed. Budd emptied
one pistol and his wife ran to his side
with another. Murphy, badly wounded,
had also emptied his pistol and stooping
to the body of the chief, drew his revol
ver and renewed the firing. He was firing
biindly into the smoke, however, while
the burglar centered al: of his shots to
ward the door. Suddenly the woman
screamed and with a curse Budd planted
a bullet into Murphy's breast, who fell
back over Gulkinson a body. During the
panic that siezed the two policmen
at this second loss to their
ranksgBudd threw some clothes over
his arm and escaped. A review of the
room showed the place to be a pepper-box
of holes. Bullets had struck in every
conceivable place. Gilkinson was dead.
Murphy was shot in the forehead, chin
and breast, though not fatally, while the
woman received a shot io the arm, and
the two policemen slightly wounded by
dying bullets. The woman was tiken to
jail, while telegrams were sent all over
the state to intercept Budd, who is de
scribed as five feet five inches in height,
dark complexion and eyes and weighing
180 pounds. He Is a noted crook and at
the time he was wanted for a previous
burglary.
