Description of the Exposition. The exposition site contains approximately four hundred acres of land space, a forty acre enclosed water basin and the one hundred and sixty square miles of water surface of Hampton Roads. The exposition site has a frontage of two miles on Hampton Roads and one-half mile on Boush Creek. The exposition is a great white and red city Corinthian columns flanking walls. In the exhibit buildings of the exposition will be gathered the choicest selection of Industrial arts, of transportation devices and of historical displays. Twenty foreign nations will participate in the exposition by sending representative fleets from their navies and crack regiments from their armies. These foreign warships combined with the great navy Uncle Sam will send, will form one of the largest collections of warships ever before seen in one harlor. And Hampton Roads offers an ideal harbor for so large a fleet, besides offering an additional reason in that the first battle between iron clad ships took place in its waters, when during the .Civil war, the little Monitor defeated the Merrimac. A reproduction of the great battle between the dor.ghty little Monitor and the Morrimae will be one of the features of the exposition. Prize Worth Working For.

The result of Saturday's work was pleasing to all those' interested in the campaign and should the subscriptions continue in the same proportion, the Y. M. C. A. will be realized before the month shall have been passed. All the workers are encouraged.

The " engine cleared" th6 switch, but the rear end of the tender was struck by the engine of No S, and llie iormer was lurneu oei" uu us sme, throwing Brumley to the ground. The accident might have terminated more seriously than it did, for had the engine been farther on the main track, it is probable that both the passenger and switch engines woula have come together with a crash. Engineer John Shea, of the switch engine, escaped uninjured. Mr. Brumley was immediately removed from the scene of the accident in the city ambulance, and a physician was called to attend his injuries. He was suffering much pain Saturday night and it was feared that he had also suffered some internal injuries. New School Superintendent. Liberty, Ind., April G. Thomas W.

Isham Sedgwick Sends Word From Nicaragua That Hardships Are Being Worked by The Present Conflict.

EXPORT FACILITIES ARE INTERFERED WITH. Laborers Have Been Conscripted for Service in-the Army Thus Far Property Interests Are Not Molested. Word has been received in this city. from Isham Sedgwick, a former resident of Richmond, that the operations of Nicaraguan troops in the war nowraging between that country and Honduras and the latter country's ally Salvador, have caused considerable damage to the coffee plantation owned by local capital, which is located in Matagalpa, Nicaragua, and is operated by Mr. Sedgwick Mr. Sedgwick reports that all his laborers have been conscripted for army service by the Nicaraguan government and that at the present time he has no men to assist in havesting the immense coffee crop, which threatens to rot on the trees. Mr. Sedgwick also states that owing to the unsettled condition of the country he has been unabje to export the coffee he had prepared for shipment to the United States before the outbreeak of the war. The Nicaraguan troops have been reported as devastating the property of Americans, but Mr. Sedgwick states that the Richmond company's plantation has not been molested by the soldiers and that he has not had to ap-, peal to the American minister for protection. Fortunately for Mr. Sedgwick and his associates, victory has fighting has taken place entirely on Honduran soil. Had the Monduran troops been successful in the earlier engagements. Nicaraguan soil would have been over-run with the Honduran soldiery and " it is probable thut the property of the local company would have been destroyed.

He has ruled that country after the fashion of a dictator for the past fifteen years and by his brilliant ! generalship has crushed all plots and insurrections against his authority.

Messrs. Wilson and Lintt Will Go From the Christian , Church to the East Main Street Friends' Church.

FIRST SERVICE THERE NEXT THURSDAY NIGHT. At That Time a Large Delegation Will. Be Present From New Castle to Aid in the Services Larger Choir. Owing to the inadequate size of the local Christian church, the official board of that congregation met with the trustees of the East Main Street Friends church Saturday afternoon and entered into an agreement by which the revival meetings will be begun at the East Main street church Thursday night. The present quarters are not large enough and the great interest already shown in tlie meetings was considered sufficient warrant for securing a larger church edifice. The coliseum was considered for a time, but owing to the very great expense which would be involved, and owing to the fact that the church would have to turn over three nights a week, for the use of the coliseum management, the project was given up and efforts directed toward securing the splendid edifice of the Friends. Had this not been successful there were steps under, way for the construction of a tabernacle, which would seat at least two thousand people at the corner of Tenth and Main streets. Evangelists Confident. Evangelists Wilson and Lintt, who are conducting the Christian church revival, are confident that they are going to do great things in Richmond and hence asked for a larger auditorium in which they could conduct their meetings. On Thursday night the chorus will be augmented , by at least fifty new voices, making one hundred all told. I 0.11 111 3 , a I l1 I Jl 1 i;l I I I I 1 1 . 1 1 Mill I It I IT!

L. C. Howe, will come to Richmond to lend whatever aid they can toward booming the meetings in this city. At New Castle Messrs Wilson and Lintt had more than two hundred additions and on the last night there were twelve additions to the church. The New! Castle delegation will arrive Thursday evening and will return to their home city at midnight. Interest is Great. The interest manifested in the meet mgs during the past week has been great and although there have . not been many additions to the church. the interest shown is warrant for the belief that there will be a large num ber during the coming week. ' Vast crowds are expected each ev ening as soon as the services are in nauguraiea at tne East Main street church, and the evangelists expect to give Richmond a thorough religious awakening. Rev. Wilson's sermons are of great power and Prof. Lintt's solos have already brought forth mer ited praise. SKATING SEASON OVER Saturday Night Marked Close Of This Sport. PRIZES WERE AWARDED.

While the lad was riding at a fast rate on his bicycle, the wheels of the machine slipped ' in the mud. throwing young Getz from his wheel against a water plug. The boy struck his chin violently against the plug and as a result received an ugly cut and had nearly all his teeth loosened. Young Getz was carried to the office of Dr. H. H. Weist, where his injuries were cared for. INAUGURATES HEW PLAN OF CLUING Big Street Sweeper Was Used On Some of the Principal Thoroughfares. RESULTS SATISFACTORY. WILL REDUCE THE NUMBER OF MEN AND THE TIME USUALLY REQUIRED IN DOING THE ANNUAL CLEANING, Street Commissioner Edward Dye inaugurated a new system of street cleaning Saturday, which he states was entirely satisfactory, and it will be tised in the municipal '"house cleaning" which starts Monday and which will continue for at least two weeks. Every street in the city is to be given a thorough cleaning and Mr. Dye will use the big btreet sweeper whicn formerly has seen no service outside of the two paved streets. When Mr. Dye stated that he intended to use the sweeper on the gravel and macadam streets, he was advised on all sides that this would not only ruin the streets, but the sweeper as well.''" ' Saturday the sweeper , wasV used fn cleaning South Fifteenth, Sixteenth Seventeenth, Eighteenth, Nineteenth and Twentieth streets, and as a result when the work was completed, thtve streets looked like they had been gone over by a corps of thrifty house wives, armed with scrubbing brushes. The sweeper was not the least th worse for wear. , Cheaper Than by Hand. "Several brushes on the sweeper may be worn out In cleaning all ttfe streets I nronose to clean this spring." said Mr. Dye, "but at that, this new method will be much more economical than employing an army of men working from four to five weeks, which meth od has been used in this city for years past. You can buy a dozen or more sweeper brushes and it will be cheaper than cleaning the streets by hand." All the streets south of Main street will be cleaned first, then the streets in the north end and west end will be cleaned in the order named. The no tice given by Mr. Dye that the streets would be cleaned by the street sweeper was a sad blow to the small army of day laborers who have been employed by the city each spring in past years. Mr. Dye told them that he would need only a few shovelers and teamsters and that the work of cleaning the city this year would be done in two weeks instead of four and five weeks, as in the past. NEW LAWS RECEIVED Volume Much Like That of Two Years Ago. IS NOT QUITE AS LARGE. The 15i07 laws of the state of Indiana passed at the sixty-fifth session of the general assembly, begun on January 1 1007, have been issued and several copies have been received in the city. The books came into the hands of County Clerk Harry Penny on Friday forenoon. They, were immediately distributed among the attorneys of the city, county and township officials. The books are for distribution into the hands of those persons who have immediate use for them. The book 13 practically the same Li binding as the one issued in 1&05. It is probably not as large, but the paper is of the same texture. There are many interesting changes in the laws which are brought to light in the issue of the books. Attorneys on Friday morning could be seen devouring the contents of the new book. A number of the books will be stored away for future use as there are frequent calls for books by attorneys and other persons. , Stricken With Paralysis. Cam bridge City, Ind., April 6 John D.

Washington, April C -With mr lh ardor and determination he Is eapablo of. President Roosevelt is investigating the "rich man's conspiracy" which h has publicly declared is being formed to thwart him in the perpetuation ot certain reforms which he has begun. His close personal friends inlimate to night that the president will feel impelled to stand as candidate for reelection. It is said that the iuvestlgation to corroborate certain damaging facts now in his possession will make this necessary. They gleefully point out the fact that Roosevelt will soon stand as the only.ono against his re-election and that the common ieople will insist that he again becom nresident. ' Senators at White House. Senator HanslKJiough, of North Drkota and Senator Andrews of New Mexico, who were guests at the noted Bourne dinner, and Senator Dourna himself, saw the president today. They would give out no statement, but it U evident another sensational statement is ready for the public It in evident that the president does not resent tho condition he is now In, and that he realizes conditions and not the man. rule this nation.. He is not now ko outspoken and seems to feel he mut make a fight for a vindication. The president favors the noinintion of Taft for he must have some o;ie who will carry out hi plans. Taft Is the man the president thinks will d so, and he Is for him. President Again Denies Candidacy. The president tonight again repealed his assertion: "I am not a candidate," but this statement simply caused the senators to become more vigorous in their stand that Roosevelt must run again. - Senator Nelson made a nignlfieant remark' tonight. He said: "What do you think would happen in the next republican convention if some one would enter the hall carrying a huge Roosevelt banner?" , WILL CHAHGE ENTIRE LAHD-OWNERS' CLASS Important Bill Before English Parliament. BENEFITS COMMON PEOPLE London, April 6. A bill will be ft troduced in parliament next week which will change the ' entire' land ownersj class in Great Britain. It is designed, to permit mall holders to purchase farms and real estate,. The bill is favored by the Liberal leaders. There is strong feeling that the main plank of the government platform should be made to agree to the proposition to help the back. bone of the nation, the email land holder. The bill has a widespread scope and it enacted would change the entire land ed entries of the kingdom. The new law will have a decidedly effective change in the relation of land owners to tenants. GREENFIELD WILL WAIT. No Request for the Methodist Confer ence Until 1908. Greenfield, Ind., April 6. The Meth odists of this city have determined to make no attempt at the session of the North Indiana conference at Logansport next week to secure the 130 session for this city, bat will remain in line or 1 $09. Members of the local congregation made a strong fight at Alexandria last year for the session that went to Logansport. The con ference next year will have a lay rep resentation, and is considered too big an undertaking for Greenfield. The pastor of the Bradley church. In this city, the Rev. Wallace ,W Martin, has been considered for presiding elder in one of the Indiana districts, and the congregation has been ' considerably worked up over the rumor thai would not ha returned. He says,-however, that he would not consider mic'i a nronotritiou shuld-it be, prcccafed.
