Yesterday was tho hottest day of the summer. The government thermometer at the Water Works Pumping Station registered 94 degrees and comparatively speaking the location of the pumping house is cool. In the city the same thermometer probably would have regit-' ered at least one degree higher. Ordinary thermometers pushed the mercury up to its on the shady side of Main street shortly afternoon.

ELECTRIC CARS WRECKED
TWO PASSENGERS KILLED
Lake Shore Electric Railway Has Serious Disaster Near Vermillion, O. Neglected Orders the Cause List of the Dead and the Injured.
Puh-Ishcrs' rrpsBj Cleveland, Aug. 4. Neglected orders caused a wreck this afternoon on the Lake Shore Electric railway near Vermillion, in which two persons were killed, one probably fatally injured and seven seriously injured. The westbound Toledo limited car, running at full speed, crashed headon into an eastbound regular car on a
I curve, about 0(10 feet west of Vermil
lion siding, the meeting point. Roth cars were crowded to the platforms. The Limited telescoped the regular car. William D. Moody, of Reach Park, the niotorman of the westbound limited, the man through whose carelessness the accident is said to have occurred, was killed. In one instant the two carloads of people were crushed into a mass of struggling, screaming human beings, crushed and bruised in the mass of twisted wreckage, scarcely a piece of which could be recognized as part of those of the ears. The Lake Shore Electric's attorney at Norwalk tonight blamed Moody for the wreck, claiming he disregarded the order to meet the other car on tho siiling. The dead are: Mr. Moody and Reese Milan, of Lima. The limited had on board forty hoys of the Y. M. C. A. at Lima and many of them were hurt.

Publishers' Tress' New York, August, 4. The defense determined upon in the ease of Harry Kendall Thaw, charged with the murder of Stanford White, involves no attack upon White's charncted or invasion into the dead architect's private life, further than that which touches the lives of the man who killed him and that of the man's wife. This positive announcement was made this afternoon to shut off scores of tenderloin habitues who have stories to tell whereevcr they will bring the most money regarding tho alleged episodes of White's career as a man about town. In the first place, Clifford W. Hartridge, chief counsel for Thaw, realizes White's life. except that part of it which is entangled with the lives of Mr. and Mrs. Harrv Thaw, has no
possible bearing on his client's case, and in the second place, he is minded, so far as possible, to keep the tenderloin out of the trial. He knows there is scant chance of introducing evidence as to White's relations with women other than Eveln Nesbit Thaw, and-he has invaritably turned down purveyors of this I class of tales.
Human Ingenuity iay plan and construct the elaborate conduit system which is now being placed underground in Richmond, by the Home Telephone Company, but after all, the execution of the gigantic task, a lower order of animals to complete together new and novel to Richmond. To get to the point quickly, the Home Telephone Comnanv will use
j ferrets to string the cables through 'the underground ducts and the man- ; ner in which this will be done is al-
workinen will have to depend upon Work Well Under Way.
1 homas Swanner .assistant intendent. of construction of the Telephone Company, now has ly good start on the work of
the conduits and he himself, laid the first duct of the "cluster" of twelve
which will form the trunk line from the river west to 14th street. This was done last Wednesday. Work started midway of the first alley north of Main streets between Cth and 7th streets. The trench averages 53 inches in depth. The ducts are three Inches in diameter and are made of fibre, composed chiefly of paper. They are practically indestructible and have the advantage of lightness and a smooth interior surface .which permits the cables. to be drawn through without injury. Twelve of these ducts are placed in the trench, laid in groups of four, one on top of the other and the whole set in concrete. The sections of the ducts are seven feet in length and connections are made by slipping one end of a section over another. Manholes are constructed midway of eacli block and are six feet in depth, 4V feet in width and six feet in length, thus giving plenty of room for the workmen. The cables that will pass through the ducts will carry from 100 to 400 wires. Branch ducts will be laid in intersecting alleys. Placing of Poles. At regular intervals along the route poles will be placed, and cables will he run from the conduit to the tops of these poles, the wires then branching out in various directions leading to the locations of phones. Several processes are used in stringing these ducts ,but according to Supt. Swanner, the ferret method is the best and
the quickest. The little animals which have" for their chief characteristic, a willingness to invade small apertures, and which are able, because of their extreme thinness and sleekness ,to traverse very small passages ,can be used to good advantage in this particular sort of work. They will not be required to pull heavy cables after them, for this would Up impossible ,nor will they be required to even pull a rope through the ducts. The method of using the ferret is novel. He will be hitched to a small "reel" mounted on wheels, the whole contrivance of a size which easily will pass through one of the three-inch ducts. On the reel will be
wound strong string. Ferret will Scamper. The ferret will be introduced into one end of a duet, and without urging, he will break toward the feint spot of light a block distant, rattling the reel along after him, which will unwind the string, the end of which is held fast by a workman. Reaching the opposite end of the duct, the ferret will be captured and the string pulled through, carrying with it a rope, and the rope will then be used to draw through the cable. Each duct of the twelve composing the conduit, will be threaded in this manner block by block. Superintendent Swanner figures it out that with no bad luck the work of laying the conduits will be completed before mid-winter.

"Say" said a man as he sauntered into a Main street drug store yesterday, "do you take the Palladium?" "Why certainly; everybody takes it. Don't you?" "Yes, but that's not the point" replied the man, "what I want is to know if you will save me the piano coupons. I'm collecting for the Druids and I must have 'em." Well,' replied the druggist, "you are the fifth man in here today to get my supply -of coupons. The Knights of Pythias, Red Men, Eagles, Odd Fellows and Knights of Columbus have all sent walking delegates in to capture my daily Palladium coupons." INTEREST IS AROUSED. The above Is an apt illustration of the manner in which the lodges are working to capture the Palladium's $350 STARR PLAYER PIANO, the most wonderful, most beautiful and most perfect instrument of its kind that was ever turned out. It will be a, bonanza for any lodge that receives it. The clippings of coupons continues. Lodge members are .going to .their friends and asking them to save the coupons that appear each day in the Palladium and they will collect later. Coupons run in a week's series. Those now appearing have no value after Tuesday evening, August 7, at 6 o'clock. Hundreds of them were brought to the Palladium office yesterday. Be sure and get them here by Tuesday and on Wednesday you can begin clipping the second week's coupons. The announcement of the vote will be made each week for the next few weeks; thereafter each day. In addition to the lodges as a whole that are striving for the great premiums, there are many individual lodge members who are at work collecting coupons for their lodges and also equipped with coupon books by which they can make their work count very quickly. To the lady and gentleman who collect the largest number of votes for their resDective lodges, no matter whether their lodge wins either of the big oremiums or not. the Palladium will give diamon rings. These coupon books are now obtainable at the Palladium office. If you are a lodge member and desire to assist your lodge get that great pi-ano as well as taking a chance of landing a diamond ring, why come in, and you will be told you can accomplish the desired end. This is not a contest in which "everybody works but father.". Father in a majority of cases is putting in good licks right along with mother and the children, for clipping coupons is easy and voting them is even easier. Anybody can vote, whether lodge member or not. If you do not care to participate clip and save them for some lodge friend who is striving to land the prizes. And don't forrjet that all coupons bearing the exoiration date of August 7 must be in his office by next Tuesday evening at six o'clock. CONDITIONS OF CONTEST.

Publishers' Press Xew York, Aug 4. A grip sack loaded with dynamite and 42 calibre cartridges, constituted the baggage of Gracemo Tanalare, who had engaged passage on the Cretic, which sailed today from Uoboken for Genoa. Tanalare was not allowed to sail and the Hoboken police in whose custody he Is, are of the opinion that he is an anarchist who contemplated the assassination of the King of Italy or some other Puropean sovereign. Because of the close scru'iny kept on the anarchists in the continent these days, explosives are hard to obtain, but in this country any one may buy dynamite if he has the price. Tanalare has refused to tell where he bought the explosives and has sprung so many contradictory stories that
the suspicion of his anarchistic intention is continually strengthened. There is a lot of mystery about the case, but from the circumstances under which tiie bag was found it is believed that Tanalare was simply acting as an agent for a band of revolutionists. It is thought that the bag was loaded with the dynamite cartridges and left at a designated spot to be picked up by Tanalare and taken aboard the ship.
Publishers' 1'rcfs London, Aug. 4. Reynolds Newspaper, in a sensational article this morning stated that several of the greatest European financiers, heavily interested in Russian securities, are secretly offering to furnish money with which to place the Russian revolutionary movement upon u business footing. According to the newspaper's source of information these bankers with the trustworthy information at hand, gleaned by their agents in all the principal towns of Russia, havo reached the belief that the regime of the Czar is all but ended and that" the sooner the end conies, the better it will bo for Russia. The bankers, having reached this conclusion, are therefore ready to hasten the inevitable. A cogent reason which is said to actuate the financiers in their advances to the revolutionists, is according to Reynolds, tho fear that the revolutionists when they come into power will he likely to repudiate the Russian obligations contracted by the Czar. To insure the payment of the Russian loans the bankers want to become the friends of the revolutionists now.

Comes From Indianapolis. The Hagenbeck circus which will be in Richmond Tuesday comes from Indianapolis. There will be two trains with a total of 41 sixty-foot cars. I'nless some unexpected delay arises the first train will reach Richmond a.-uT 3:43 Tuesday morning. The circus will pitch its tents on the North rjth street lot.
Mrs. Laura Belle Morrow, 28 years of age, three-quarters Cherokee Indian, one-quarter white, w'alked into Richmond yesterday pushing a baby huggy containing a baby one year and five months old. Mrs. Morrow claims that she came from East St. Louis, III., walking all the way, in- a little over .five weeks. She was "seen on the street by Mrs .Charles Kidwell, residing at 627 North Mh street, whoso sympathies were aroused by the pitiable condition of the woman and who took her to the Kidwell home, where she was given food and rest for the night. This morning an effort will be made at Police Headquarters to obtain transportatoin for Mrs. Morrow to Dayton, where she thinks that she will find her husband, who left his home unexpectedly. Mrs. Morrow told the
; following story to the Palladium:
Woman Tells Her Story. "About six weeks ago my husband tame to me and hugged and kissed m vnd the baby, saying that if he did vot come back from work that I need not worry concerning his whereabouts. That was the last time I saw
! him. i "He has a twin-sister of whom he is very fond. He has started out 'many times and visited her. I think ; she lives in Dayton. Well. I thought i that Dayton would be about where he j was and so I started out. I didn't ! have any money, and taking my baby jin a basket on my arm, I took to the I National Road. I "At Germantown. 111., a man saw me ! and was kind enough to give me an old baby carriage. On the road I met j with few experiences other than to find that there is very little hospitality jin the world for a person who hasn't any money. i "I don't bear my man any ill will, but I just want to know where he is. j "My husband is an Irishman, is l gocKl natured and 55 years old. Some
older than me, you see. We didn't have any trouble he just got out and later I did the same. I have not heard anything of him, but am certain to find him in Dayton." Tired from Long Journey. The heat and extremely hard wear and tear of her journey have told on Mrs. Morrow, who says that she had been in a hospital for several months before she begun her walk. Her baby is a bouncing youngster with a contented disposition, never raising a wail at the hard bumps which come his way on the long tramp.
