MISS STELLA TATE WAS SPONSOR
She Is the Daughter of Congressman
Tate of Georgia Covernor Terrell
and Other Georgians Pratent at the
Launching.
Bath, Me., Oct. 11. The United
States first-clas3 battleship Georgia
was launched from the plant of the
Bath Iron Works at 1:53 p. m. today.
The big battleship was gaily deco
rated with flags and bunting as wera
also the offices and yard buildings in
hoonr of the occasion. v
Excursionists from all sections of
Maine had come to witness the launch
ing and the party entertained by thti
officials of the company included Gov.

and Mrs. Terrell; Judge and Mrs.
Hamilton McWhorter, Mrs. Amelia
McWrhorter, Congressman F. Carter
Tate, Miss Stella Taie and Congress
man W. C. Adamson, all of Georgia.
Miss Tate was escorted to the
launching platform by Vice President
John S. Hyde, who instructed her in
the duties as sponsor. Mr. Hyde also
had personal supervision of the launch
ing. A method somewhat different
from ' the usual one of releasing tho
hull by severing a cord was employed
today when sawyers standing beneath
the vessel severed the monstrous
shoe pieces with a cross-cut saw, and
the vessel -was started towards th
water.
When the battleship began to move
Miss Tate broke a bottle of cham
pagne across the bow, 'naming the
craft in honor of her own state. As
the stern parted the surface of the
Kennebec, the Georgia was saluted by
numerous craft and manufacturing
plants along the shore, all of which
were acknowledged by her siren and
whistle, the battleship being launched
with steam up. Both military masts

Honduras Coast Swept and Great
Damage Done.
Louisville, Ky., Oct. 11. A special
from New Orleans says:
The fruit steamer Beverly, has ar
rived from Honduras and Guatemala
ports with the first news of the ter
rible storm which swept the Honduras
coast ten days ago. The Beverly
could not get a cargo of bananas and
came in light.
The storm hit the Honduras coast
on Sept. 29, and continued three days
and nights. It was cyclonic in force,
the wind at times blowing 80. miles
an hour, and was accompanied by
cloudbursts.
Puerto Cortex suffered great dam
age. The Honduras coast was wreck
ed from Cortez to Ceiba. The Hon
duras railway was washed away io
many places and there were a num
ber of mountain slides. It will not
operate for thirty days.
The banana crop at Omoa is ruined
It is estimated that no fruit will be se
cured from Honduras and for 30 days
the output which has been 400,000
bunches per month, will be reduced
50 per cent for eignt months.
No Interior mails had arrived at any
coast points to catch the Beverly, in
dicating that the interior had suffered
quite as much as the coast.

The Georgia belongs to the most
powerful type of battleship afloat
and also to the largest class. She
has a trial' displacement of 15,000
tons and is 435 feet long, 76 feet, 10
inches beam, and under trial condi
tions will draw 24 feet, while she has
an extreme draft of 26 feet when fully
loaded and equipped with stores,' coal,
ammunition, etc-.
The -hull" has a cellular bottom ana

compartments. The craft is , fully pro

combined weight of 3,700 gross tons,
and which includes a main belt ex

from 11 to 4 inches thick. The up

by the Rev. M. B. Williams, chairman
of the committee on Sabbath obser
vance of the Rock River conference of
the Methodist Episcopal church.
"There is no reason why young peo
ple should not cultivate each others
acquaintance from behind hymn
books," declared Mr. Williams. "We
are glad to have them come to church
on any pretext. Flirting is as good
an excuse -s any."
Frivolity duriug religious service, he
said, waa to be expected of Americans.
But that some good was acomplished

clared, was indisputable.
"The- expectation of seeinp voung

boy to church for the first time," he
said. "Among the love-making there

New York, Oct. 11. Acting . under
instruction from the coroner the po
lice, have taken into custody Rudolph
Fitsche, who keeps a little saloon at
723 Tenth avenue.. Fritsche is charged
only with being a suspicious person,
but the police say that in his saloon,
it is suspected, whisky was sold which
contained poison, and this whisky is
responsible for the many deaths- that
have occurred in the neighborhood
recently. Fritsche only recently
bought the place, which is of a va
riety generally described as a barrel
house. -
Investigation of the numerous
deaths in the neighborhood during tha
past few weeks showed that, nearly all
those who had died suddenly were
Customers of the "barrel house."
Fritsche, after being taken to the
station house was admitted to bail. He
renamed to the fa-aloon. but the police
followed, closely questioned the pro-
Jfrifttor and closed the dcors.
Symptoms Identical.
Twenty-five persons living in the
neighborhood, all of them middle age,
bave died during the past two weeks,
The symptoms were in the main iden
tical. .They were characterized by
the attendant physicians in all cases
those of alcoholism. In the past
24 hours one death, that of Robert
Smith, has bean reported, while tha
following awaited burial: William
McAuliffe, aged 45, died Saturday
GhaVles McLeavy, aged 50, died
Sunday.
Wrilliam Dclain. died Friday, aged
IS.
Adolpe Lehman, died Sunday.
- Nora McGinness, died Sunday.
All these persons resided in a -prescribed
territory. Lehman's stom
ach and a bottle of whisky purchased
in the neighborhood were taken to
the health department for analysis,
the result of -which has not yet been
made public.
A doctor living in West Forty-eighth
street, who was called to attend sev
eral of the persons mentioned, said
that while the cases he had seen were
plainly enough alcoholism, there was
yet something peculiar in such an
outbreak of the ailment in so cir
cumscribed a territory.
Physician's Statement.
"I was called," said he "to see Mc.
Leavy. McAuliffe lay dead of the
same disease in a room just across
the hall when I got there, and Mc
Leavy was already (dead when I ar
rived. It would appear as though
the form of alcoholic beverage they
had "been taking had a powerful ef
fect in arresting the heart's action. I
have found that in the case of several
who died they had been in the habit
of buying whisky at the rate of 10
cents a pint and that in some in
stances they drank great quantities,
pouring Jt into ordinary drinking tum
blers full and pouring it down as
though it were water. It Is barely
possible the whisky was made o!
wood alcohol."
Hitch arrived. He said the guns of
his men were leaded when Captain
Hitch came, but that the captain or
dered them to be unloaded.
H. P. Guerraiit, a local newspaper
iftfin, gave testimony as to the re
marks of Judge Daly when sentenc
ing the negroes. He said that the
tenor of the judge's utterances was to
keep down strife.
Sheriff T. Z. Kendrick, of Bulloch
county, who, with the military, was
responsible for the safety of the pris
oners, was the most important wit
ness of the morning. It was he who
was ordered bythe judge to arrest the
leaders of the mob, but whose forca
was hot large enough to enable him to
do so, and who also was told by Judge

POISONED BRIDE DIES.
Married Only Four Weeks Husband
Under Suspicion.
Spartanburg, S. C, Oct. It. Mrs.
Bert Gregory, the bride of but four
weeks, who was poisoned Tuesday
by taking strychnine with calomel,
whether accidental or intentional on
the part of her husband remaining
to be proved, is dead.
At the inquest now ; adjourned until
next week, strong evidence was intro
duced against the husband, though he
still maintains his innocence.
It was thought that the woman
would recover, but she gradually grew
worse. At the- coroneZTS inquest some
sensational testimony was brought out.
Boyd Harris, with whom the couple
had been living since their marriage,
testified that the young husband in
sisted on his wife taking the medicina
which he had brought out from their
room, and which, after .some persua
sion, protesting against needing it,
she took.

As Kuropatkin's order of the day
was not given out until seven days
after the advance began, it would not
be surprising if heavy fighting was al
ready in progress. Indeed the latest
newspaper dispatches say that an ar
tillery duel lasted throughout Sunday
on the center and right flank and that

The statement that Kuropatkin is
moving on each side of the- railroad

a possible turning movement from
