STEAMSHIP TOPPL.ES OVER.
Was fii a Baltimore Dry Dock.
The Crew Rescued With Dif
ficulty. Baltimore, May 28. An accident
which came near causing serious loss
of life occurred about two o'clock this
morning et the William Skinner cz
Sons Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Com
pany's yards. The steamship Hudson
of the merchants' and Miners Trans
portation Company's fleet, without any
apparent reason sudden ly fell over on
her side in thirty feet of water. All
the members of the crew were on
board at the time of the accident, many
of them having narro.v escapes from
drowning.
The Hudson is a freight and passen
ger vessel and plies between Baltimore
and Savannah. Shortly after her ar
rival in port yesterday morning it was
found that her propeller had been in
jured. To make repairs, the vessel
was backed into the large dock of the
Skinner Company. All the crew were
in their berths, when awakened by a
slow lurch of the vessel to port, ac
companied by a roar. The hugh bulk
careened over'to port, hurling the men
from their bunks.
Chief Officer Powell was among the
first to be awakened. He realized the
situation at once, although not a light
was burning and gave orders- to extin
guish the fires.
The men, in spite of the fact that
they did not know what was happening
behave splendidly,with the water rush
ing over the port rails In a torrent.
Suddenly some one remetnbered
Chief Engineer Lathan's position and
Powell ordered the men to save their
engineer.In the pitch blackness and
with the water seething about them,
they found him scrambling out of his
cabin door. Orders were then given to
save themselves, and they scrambled
out on deck and on the dock, against
which the ship was resting with her
port rail about three feet under water
at an aisjgte,ot about 45 degrees.
The shipyard employees meantime
had rusied to the, ?cen and the entire
crew, consisting of Chief Officer Powell.
Second Mate J. E. Hjaywood, Chief
EngineeW Lathah, Fink Assistant Ei
gineer Stephen Mctjulde, Second As

KILLED TRAIN ROBBERS
Mexican Soldiers Shotij Do&i
Bandits Caught In the Act of
Plundering".
El Paso, Texas, May 28. Swift pun
ishment is being meted out to trajn
robbers in the States of Coahila and
Durangb, Mexico. In those states the
highway men became so bold that they
would stop Mexican Central freight
trains, break open cars and load into
their wagons whatever freight they
wanted and drive away to the moun
tains. The late "Diamond Dick," and ex
Texas Ranger, was employed by the
Mexican Central road to capture the
robbers. "Diamond Dick" killed sev
eral of them, but .was not able, single
handed, to cope with the situation.
Recently the railroad officials ap
pealed to President Diaz for relief and
he ordered soldiers to exterminate te
i obb irs. The soldiers were empowered
to act as Sheriff, Judge, jury and ex-,
ecutioner. Last Saturday, near Yermo,
four out of a band of eight robbers
were captured while in the act of rob
bing a freight train. The soldiers,
who had been concealed In a freight
car to trap the bandits, lined up the
prisoners and riddled them with bul
lets. Early to bed aid early to rise makes
a man know when the baby cries.
- ine men will pay $1.50 for whis
key for medicinal purposes, and then
kick over a 35-ent prescription at the
drug store.
DAVIDSON'S NEW PRESIDENT
Dr. Henry Louis Smith is Now
the Head of that Institution.
The fo?-mal inaugural of Dr. Henry
Louis Smith as President of Davidson
College occurred yesterday morning.
Dr. Smith is an old Greensboro boy,
and her citizens feel a justfiable pride
in his success. An account of the cere
monies of yesterday is given below,
taken from the Charlotte Observer:
The inaugural exercises were con
ducted with much dignity and earnest
ness. Dr. J. B. Shearer, the out-going
President, announced that Dr. W. J.
McKay, president of the Board of
Trustees, would conduct the ceremony.
Dr. McKay rose from his seat on the
rostrum and made Dr. Henry Louis
Smith, the incoming president, to
stand and face him. He paid tribute to
Dr. Shearer by designating him as the
godly, vigilant and sagacious head of
the institution, who had served with
signal ability and entire success. Then
he said to Dr. Smith: "We congratu
late you on coming to the highest hon
or possible in the gift of your alma
mater. You have been apprised of
the fact that you were candidly and
unanimously called by the trustees to
be the head of this noble institution.
Are you now willing to accept the re
sponsibility of the office?"
Dr. Smith pledged himself to fulfill
the requirements made by the board
for the Presbyterian church. He an
swered the following Questions in the
affirmative:
"Do you sincerely believe the Old
and New Testaments to be the Wor l
of God, the only infallible rule of faith
and practice?"
"Do you sincerely receive and adopt
the Confession of Faith of the Presby
terian Church of the United States as
faithfully exhibiting the doctrines
taught in the Holy Scriptures?
"Do you solemnly engage not to
teach anything that is opposed to any
doctrine in the Confession of Faith,
nor to oppose any fundamental prin
ciple of Presbyterlkn church govern
ment while you are president of the
institution ?
'"Do you solemnly promise to be
faithful in the discharge of your du
ties as president' of this Institution?"
The keys of the institution were then
formally turned over to him.
