EXCITINQ EXPERIENCE.
raettgcr Train Stalled in the Sea
Nearly All Day.
Atlantic City, Oct. 12. Passengers on
the Newfleld local train over the West
Jersey railroad, bound for this city, had
un exciting experience today. The train
was trying to cross the meadows over
tracks submerged in three or four feet
of water by the storm and was halted
near the tower, where the fatal wreck
occurred last July, because the fires In
the engine were extinguished by the
water. Here the train was stalled in
the midst of a sea from 10 a. m., until
5 this afternoon. But two trains en
tered the city from Philadelphia today,
and one of these carried a number of
passengers from Pittsburg, who, when
the train started to cross the sheet of
water with no land In sight, became
much alarmed and anxiously Inquired
of the conductor If it would not be safer
to return rather than venture the trip,
which appeared so dangerous to them.
The conductor quieted their fears with
the statement that the journey had
been made with safety before under
similar conditions. Upon landing here
the passengers gave a sigh of relief and
remarked that It was the first time they
ever "enjoyed" the experience of riding
in a railroad car and above a turbulent
sea at the same time.
General Superintendent I. -A. Swel
gert, of the Reading system, is out on
the bay In the sloop yacht Alert, Cap

cruise in company with a party of
friends, Mr. Bogart, Dr. Eugene Reed
and William G. Bartlett. While it is
generully supposed they are snug In
harbor in one of the many coves that
abound In the bay there, there is some
little anxiety to know their exact situa
tion. POLITICAL STORIES.
TO CONQUER A GREAT EVIL.
"One of the funniest campaign expert,
ences I ever had," said Colonel Charles
Page Bryan, "was while 1 was making a
speech down In the center of the state.
This Is not a story on me, by the way,
hut on another man. The orator, who
shall be nameless, was one of three others
besides myself at the meeting, and deliv
ered a long speech In the course of which
he said:
" 'Remember, If you conquer yourself,
you conquer the greatest evil in the
world.'
"He tmule the assertion In all serious
ness, and was evidently surprised at the
bunt of laughter which greeted the state
neiit." KISSING THE BABIES.
, "I was making a trip through the south,"
, said Senator Tom Carter, of Montana,
"when T was introduced to the wife of a
man who was running for congress. I
wanted to be pleasant to her. so In order
to stun a t-onverautiun I inquired:
" 'do you husband U miming for con
gress." " Ye.' she replied.
'I suppose it keeps hlin pretty busy,' I
vent ured.
" 'Yes.' was the very short wply-
"Thia rather froie me. and somewhat
discouraged my attempts to be pleasant,
but I came to -the front again with what
I thought was a humorous remark:
" 'I suppose he kisses all the babies In
the district.'
"This was unfortunate She flared up
angrily. .
' 'Don't believe a word of It. He hasn't
had time to kiss his own babies for two
months.' "
WHY HE WAS IN DOUBT.
"I met an old colored man in my state,"
said National Committeeman Yerke of
Kentucky, "during a recent campaign,
and 1 usked hint for whom he was going
to vote.
" 'Pears to me It's putty nigh on ter de
huntln' season.' was his reidy.
" 'What's that got to do Vlth It, uncle,"
I asked him
" 'Ills yere chile needs u new gun putty
bad,' he ventured, with a sheepish glance.
' 'Aand what of that, uncle?'
" 'I could vet a putty good gun fer a dol
lar and 1 Hln't seed none of de candidates
yet, and so I cal'clute 1 diinno who I' goin
to vote fer.' "
ABJOURNED SINE DEO.
"Peter Hreen is a well-known character
In Colorado," said I. N. Stevens, chairman
of the silver party. His career has been
full of startling contrasts, and hts conJi
lion has varied from that of common day
laborer to that of treasurer of the stato of
Colorado: from thnt of 12 a day wages to
that of $75.0110 a year income; from that
of a succetul business man and politlcl ill
to that of a bankrupt and a prisoner in
the county jail, chanted with having, as
a hanker, received deposits after he knew
his bank was insolvent.
"Breen appeared in Leadville as a day
laborer shortly after the great sliver dis
coveries!, and for several years plodded
along with a pick and shovel, satisfied to
earn his daily breud by the sweat of his
brow, then, through some turn of fortune's
wheel, he became the owner of a prospect
hole. He developed this hole In the rocky
hillside into a mine, and with the poses,
slon of plenty of money 'Pete' Breen, the
uneducated Irish laborer, developed Into
State Treasurer Pete Breen. the tlnancier.
capitalist and politician. But before this
transformation Breen had shown his good
sense by marrying a bright Leadville
school mistress, who was given the credit
of editing her husband's speeches and cor
respondence, and for teaching him many
tine phrases, which Peter greatly enjoyed.
There wns a tendency among the Colorado
politicians 10 guy Peter's claims to consid
eration, and at first but scant courtesy
was paid to his efforts to obtain a hearing
in the county and state conventions.
"It is related that during the session of
a certain .ake county convention Peter
Breen had made more than twenty efforts
to speak, and had always been Ignored by
the chairman. At last the time came for
adjournment, and with a voice of thunder
Peter Breen shouted:
" 'Mlsfher .Chairman! 'Mlsther Chair
man!' "The chairman, who was father sorry
for Ureen, recognized him. This was
Peter's great opportunity, and, with ap
palling dignity, he said:
' " '.Misthur Chairman and gelttenen nv
the convlinion, I move you, sors, teat this
convintlon do now adjourn sine to.' "

BOXING SOIREE.
"Scaldy Bill" Knocked Oat la the
Seventeenth RoundThe Palmer
Murphy Fight.
Maspeth, L. I., Oct. 12 Two good
bouts were presented by the manage
ment. The opening was a ten round go
between Dick O'Brien, of Boston, and
Dick Moore, of St. Paul; the main at
traction, a twenty round contest be
tween Joe Walcott, the colored welter
weight champion, and William Qulnn,
better known as "Scaldy Bill," of the
Pennsylvania coal regions. O'Brien
seemed to have Moore at his mercy in
the first round, but Moore came to in
the second and punched his man hard
on the jaw.
O'Brien came up pretty fresh In the
third round and they mixed things up
in great style. Moore was tired when
the bell rang.
O'Brien bad the best of the fourth
round. In the fifth both men Indulged
in hard fighting until O'Brien sent in a
right cross on the Jaw which sent Moore
to grass and the referee counted him
out. Time, two minutes, llfty-seven
seconds.
Walcottwas the first to appear In
the main bout. He was seconddH by
Howie Hodgdins, Tommy Connolly and
Tim Collins. "Scaldy Bill" was looked
after by Charley White, Sam Bolen
and Jim Johnson. They were scheduled
to go twenty rounds at 14s pounds.
Scaldy was nearly a head taller than
his antagonist. Walcott punched his
man hard and forced the fighting from
the start. It was a terrific "go," Joe
rushed at lils man and landed hard
left swings on the buy bringing the
right round on the head. Scaldy never
winced and sent In a couple of wild
swings on Joe's body. Scaldy took his
punishment well until he became grog
gy and dazed In the seventeenth and
after Walcott had sent him down three
times the referee stopped the brutal ex
hibition and gave Walcott the decision.
London, Oct. 12. The fight between
Peter Palmer, of London and Johnnie
Murphy, of Boston, for the ban turn
weight championship of the world,
took place tonight at the Natlonnl
Sporting club and was won by Palmer.
Both men were in excellent condition
and each weighed In at 114 1-2 pounds.
Palmer was a great favorite in the bet
ting at odds of 8 to 4. The English
man forced the fighting from the outset
of the battle. He was much the quicker
in his deliveries, and hustled Murphy
around the ring In lively style. In tlf
first two rounds Murphy failed to land
a single blow. Nevertheless he stood up
bravely and took punishment pluck Uy
as Palmer rained blows upon him with
his right and left. The pluck of the
Yankee boy was heartily applauded.
At the end of the twentieth round Pal
mer was declared the winner on points
Murphy was not knocked out.
Philadelphia, Oct. 12. Charley Me-
Keever again demonstrated that he is
easily the best lightweight In this sec
tion with the gloves. He met Charley
Johnson In a nix round contest at the
Caledonian club and won in a walk.
Johnson was lucky to stay In the six
rounds. He was game and willing, but
Is not In McKeevet's class as a boxer.
The judges agreed on McKeever as the
winner.

MARKETS AND STOCKS
Wall M reel Review.
New York, Oct. 12. Dealings at the
Stock Exchange today were light, the
sales of stocks amounting to 143.17
shares. The stock' market was unset
tled and Irregular throughout, closing
weak In tone. At the opening the tend
ency was aownward on sales for uout
accounts. The prominent Issues scored
losses or wi per cent., Sugar lead
ing with sales as low as 105V4. The
general market was adversely Influ
enced by the advance in discounts
abroad. This, it was argued, will check
the movement of gold this way unless
local bankers offer additional Induce
ments. The comparative easiness of
money led to liquidations in certain
quarters, especially as some commis
sion houses are not Inclined to encour
age new ventures pending the national
election. After the decline referred to.
Tobacco advanced from 6814 to T04. and
this strengthened the general market
for a time. In the late afternoon trad
ing the selling was renewed In the In
dustrials. Leather and Rubber pre
ferred Blocks were heavy, falling to
55i and C5 respectively. Sugar, the
Grangers, Manhattan and General
Electric all lacked support in the final
trading. Speculation closed weak In
tone. Net changes show losses of H
11 per cent., except for Rubber pre
ferred, which dropped 3 per cent.
Northwest and Tobacco gained liftl
per cent.

His Wife Is About to Bcgia Proceed
lags 10 tiecare a Divorce.
Not long ago James F. Zerfass, of
Adams avenue, was prospering In the
plumbing business and had the respect
and confidence of all who knew him.
Today he is In the county jail, resting
tinder a serious charge, his home is
broken up, his wife is nearly heart
broken, and there Is nothing left of his
household effects to satisfy a landlord's
warrant.
Zerfass was arrested at 6 o'clock yes
terday morning at Olyphunt In a house
kept by Mrs. George W. Uow, near the
Delaware and Hudson station. He was
in a room with Mrs. Oow, who Is a
widow of only a week, when the arrest
was made by County Detective Ley
shon. Constable Timothy Jones, of the
West Side; Constable Jesse Morris, of
Olyphant, and Detective Thomas K.
Reynolds. The warrant was sworn out
before 'Squire M. W. Cummings. Zer
fass could not give ball and was com
mitted. The woman was arraigned on
the charge of keeping a house of as
signation and for unlawful conduct.
She gave bail In the sum of $800 for her
appearance at court.
William Wallace Slmrell, a prominent
citizen of New York city, is Mrs. Zer
fass' father. Becoming acquainted
with the manner In which Zerfass was
neglecting his family, he put a female
detective to watch him, and T. E. Rey
nolds was also engaged. Later on Mr.
Leyshon, Constable Jones and Con
stable Morris were brought Into It.
On Saturday, Oct. 3, George W. Gow,
husband of the woman In this case,
died. There was nothing suspicious
about his death at all, but the breath
was not more than twenty-four hours
out of his body before he was laid
away In the clay. His funeral was
held the day after he died.
Zerfass was at the Gow place the day
the man died and he continued living
there until he was arrested. The house
has gained such an evil reputation that
complaints by the scores have been
made to the authorities about it. Rev.
Father Murphy was one of those who
made complaint about it.
Mrs. Zerfass will begin proceedings
for a divorce. She was married to Zer
fass In Susquehanna county, fifteen
years ago. They have two children.
