Phils delphia and Norfolk Railway Com pany's Msrylsnd Cuts Into the Little Wsr Vessel in Lower Bsy Between Old Point end Thimble Light. Norfolk, Va. (Special). The Unit ed States torpedo boat Shubrlek was In collision In the lower bay with the steamer Maryland, of the New York. Philadelphia and Norfolk Rail way, between old Point anil Thimble Light. She was nearly cut In half, and but for the promptness of her crew In closing the watertight doors and confining the inrnshlng water to the two compartments Into which the keen steel prow of the Maryland crashed she must have gone down with all on board. The accident occurred in the midst of a dense fog. which prevented the smaller vessel from seeing tho other until they were within I " feet. With out warning the white hulk of the Maryland suddenly appeared above the little torpedo boat, and despite the fact that the Shubrlck's engines were driven full speed ahead she was unable to escape the collision. The Maryland's prow c,,t like a knife through the thin steel sheath ing of the baby warship and almost took her bow off. Her predicament was not seen by the vessels of the flotilla In the lend on account of the fog, but the Stockton. Whit b was fol lowing, immediately went to her as sistance and got her Into shoal water, where she remained until it was seen that her Watertight compart ments would keep her afloat, and thin took her In tow to Old Point. Meantime, the navy yard has been notified and the tugs Mohawk and Wahneta wore dispatched to the as sistance of the disabled craft. She was towed to the navy yard and will be placed in dry dock No. 1 as soon as It can be vacated by the Whipple. Lieutenant Cooke was In com mand of the Shubrick. He says Hint after passing the steamer James town, of the Old Dominion Lino, he expected to meet no more liners, and laid his course for Thimble Light. He was blowing his fog horn, but thinks tho captain of tho Mary land failed to understand that he COUld not see the larger vessel. When 1 be Maryland appeared out of the log, going about fifteen miles an hour, lie sought to avoid collision by ring ing up his engines full speed, but the crash came before tho Shubrick could get away. The swift and heavy pas senger bore tho little warship down Under her forefoot, and it looked for an instant as though she would run all the way over her. That no body was injured on the Shubrick Is considered remarkable. PASSES 181,000,000 MARK. Engagement Of Foreign Gold Ry (few York Bonkers, New York (Special).

THE LEGWTIf OF S LABOR B0YC01T Arguments in United States Supreme Court. TEMPORARY INJUNCTION WANTED. Counsel for the Buck Stove and Range Company Denounces the Federation's Unfair List as Directed Against the Firm as an Effort on the Part of a Combination to Crush an Enterprise. Washington (Special) Objections to the Jurisdiction of the court by the defense and a vivid outlining of the machinery of boycott by the plaintiff, through their respective counsel, were the features In the ar gument on the application In the Su preme Court of the District of Colum bia of the Buck Stove and Range Company, of St. Louis, for a tempor ary Injunction against the continu ance of the boycott of its products by the American Federation of Labor. The defense, represented by Mr. T. 0. Spelling, of New York, followed the line laid down Monday in con tending that the actions complained of were subject merely to common law. The whole theory of the de fense is that the right to boycott or strike Is legal for Individuals and, therefore, legal for combinations. Mr. J. J. Darlington, counsel for the Buck Stove and Range Company, declared that the case was Ihe most important litigation Ol the kind for B third of a century, the boycott cases hitherto tried having been merely local In application, lie pointed out Hint this case is that of 2.000,000 adult men engaged in mechanic arts who were banded together to act as one man in withholding their own patronage and that of all friends and sympathizers from 0 single Industrial enterprise, the business of which they desire to crush and destroy un less ?,7i metal polishers out of 750 employee of the Buck Stove and Range Company are permitted to de cide the number of hours any of them should work. Dr. Darlington argued that 1,999. 666 of the men engaged in this boy cott have no personal concern with the hours of labor of the 35 metal polishers, but have simply banded together under agreement to attack any employer who refuses to allow his employes to dictate his mode of business. if the right to boycott is legal for a combination because the right to withhold patronage is legal for an individual, Mr. Darlington pointed out, that since an Individual may re-' fuse to sell to any person, with or 1 without motive, he may combine with any number of persons for ihe same purpose. Therefore, he con tended, that the vast combination now before the court might refuse to employ a single person selected . as a victim; that it might refuse to deal with him or anyone who does deal with him, or to sell him any thing, even the necessaries of life, Or to patronize any persons who might have business intercourse with him. The question, Mr. Darlington said, was whether the things complained of are lawful, or, If not, whether they nevertheless may be done without in terference on the part of the courts and protection of law.

The two bodies of the murdered boys were lying upon the floor sur rounded by overturned and broken benches. The bodies were restored to the caskets and taken outside. When quiet was restored Rev. Dr. Adam Stump, from the doorway of the church, preached Iho final' ser mon. The bodies were then taken to the adjoining graveyard, where interment was made. BOMB HURLED PROM TRAIN.
