The Norwegian steamship, lumber
laden for Port Pirie, Australia, yester
day evening sailed outward. Her
master had assumed to stand for cer
tain things in a business way and
stoutly refused to acceed to anything
not entirely consonant with his views
of the situation, but when he discov
ered that he could not clear at the
custom house "without the formal
"clearance" ' of his agents here, and
that his contunacy was likely to cost
his ownert several hundred dollars a
day, he gave in to the charterers, and
went on his way as all good mas:
ters do. ' . ,v . v, ;

SERIOUS CHICAGO STRIKE.
CHICAGO, Aug. 6 Unless a set
tlement is made today the strike of
electrical workers in the West Park
system may involve 3,000 park em
ployes affiliated with the Associated
building trades. 'Indorsement of the
strike was voted by the buil ding
trades workers employed by the west
parkboard. Should the threat be car
ried out, all new construction and im
provement work now tinder way in
the West side parks will be tied up.
In addition to that the parks will be
in darkness until lamp men and
other electrical, workers are obtained
by the park commissioners.
NEW YORK, Aug. 6. It is learn
ed from friends of Mrs. Russell Sag
that she is thinking seriously of pur
chasing Constitutional Island m the
tipper Hudson opposite West Point,
and presenting it to the United States
government as a site on which to er
ect the world's greatest military pre
paratory school, a school that wilt be
to West Point what Eton is" to Ox
ford and Lawrenceville is to Prince
ton.
She is very much in earnest about
this project. She will send a repre
sentative to West I'oint within a few
days to look into the matter and put
her in possesion of all the facts con
cerning Constitutional island, the at
titude of the West Point authorities
toward the idea and whether con
gress is likely to give its sanction in
the event of Mrs. Sage obtaining title
to the property. Mrs. Sage would like
to give to West Point a preparatory
school, it is said, where boys, partic
ularly those from remote places
where the public schools are not the
best, can receive the preparatory edu
cation necessary to pass the rigid ex
amination required of all candidates
for cadetships at the United States
military academy. In recent years
the percentage of cadets who have
been lost to the army as a result of
their inability to pass the West Point
entrance examinations has been very
large particularly in the mathematical
branches. f It is to remedy this that
Col. Scott, Superintendent at West
Point and the higher officials of the
war department are anxious to ac
quire Constitutional island and utilize
it for a training school for West
Point cadets. President Roosevelt is
said to be in favor of the plan to es
tablish such a school and it is certain
that even if Mrs. Sage does not pre
sent the island to the government a
determined effort will be made in the
next congress to get an appropriati
on.
Whether Mrs. Sage is considerating
also the advisability of giving the mo
ney with which to build such a school
the friend who told of the Constitu
tional island plan said he did not
know.

KENTUCKY BLAZE.
MIDWAY, Ky., Aug. 6.-This
town, half way between Lexington
and Frankfort, was the scene of a
fire that for a time threatened the
town with destruction last night. The
fire, which is believed to have been
of incendiary origin destroyed five
warehouses of the S. J. Greenbaum
distilling company entailing a loss es
timated at $300,000. The amount of
insurance is not known but it is be
lieved the loss is amply covered. The
flames, caused by the burning of the
47,000 barrels of whisky which turned
a creek nearby into a fiery stream,
could be seen for ten miles. The
flames, as they coursed down the sur
face, of the creek destroyed the South
ern railroad trestle and half a dozen
negro cabins.

DRIVEN IN WITH HAMMER
Bones of Bad Fracture Wouldn't
Set, to Hospital Surgeons Prepare
a Nail and Drive it in to Hold the
Bones in Place.
NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-Mending a
broken arm witli a nail is the extra
ordinary f!t tn surgery whkli has
just been performed successfully by
Harlem hospital surgeons. It was a
plan resorted to alter usual methods
had tailed and when the case teemed
to bi hopeless. Now the limb oper
ated upon is as sound as ever it was.
Charles Nelson, 15 .years old, was
injured in a car wreck. He sus
tained a severe fracture, which caused
one bone to lap over another. He
was taken to the Harlem hospital and
the arm put in a splint but the bones
did not set. Thereupon the surgeons
resolved upon the novel method of
treatment. The lad was put under the
influence of ether, and an incision
was made in the arm just above the
wrist joint. What is called the shaft
of the bone was priod open and the
two overlapping bones were set to
gether. Meanwhile a steel nail about
an inch and a half long had been
carefully sterilized and medicated. A
vice of cotton and other material was
made for the arm and with an ordi
nary hammer the nail was driven in
to the arm, piecing both bones tn
much the same fashion as two board
would" be fastened together. The
splints were then replaced. "
Nelson returned to the hospital j
yesterday and it was found that his;
arm was as strong as it had been be-!
fore the accident. A few minutes!
later the boy was playing ball in the,
street. I
