HE HAS GIVEN UP THE JOB AND THE TROUBLE MAY HAVE TO BE PA88ED UPON, BY COURT, IT 18 8AI0. Work on the new St Mary's church, which Is being erected on the corner of North Eighth and A streets, will be delayed for some time owing to the fact that for the second time the stone has been found defective and the contractor has given up the job. The second shipment of defective stone arrived today. Several days ago a lot of stone was received but it was full of streaks and blemishes and was returned and a new lot ordered. On its arrival today it was also found to be defective. Contractor Marion " McLaughlin became disgusted and gave up the job. The kind of stone ordered was New York No. 1 and it is stated that in neither case' was that kind of stone sent, although it was represented to be such. The matter will now have to be carried through the courts and considerable delay will be experienced in the erection of the structure. Negotiations are under way to secure a new contract as soon as possible.

ATTRACTING ATTENTION
KILLED BY A TRAIN
Chicago. July 14. John Keating and Patrick Conroy were instantly killed and August Sudka fatally . injured when a fast freight on the Chicago & Northwestern struck a handcar on which they were riding, near Central ' Park avenue, this morning, during a dense fog.
DISCHARGED.
Frank J. Girardin, the local artist has an exhibition of oil paintings in the window of the Starr Piano company's sale rooms at the corner of Tenth and Main streets that are attracting unusual attention among the art loving public of Richmond. "The Old Mill" (90) is a view of Glen Miller park in 1883. It is interesting in the fact that the boat house
now stands where the old mill did at
that time while the ground has been excavated since' that time and a lake made. "The Old Willow on the Whitewater" (5) Is a beautiful view about three miles south of the city. "The
River Path" (10) was painted about
two miles east of the city in Sycamore
Valley.. "June Morning" (15) "Winter
Morning" (16) "Quiet Hour" (17)
"Early Spring" (50) and "Autumn
Morning" (12) are also beautiful views in and around Richmond.
This will probably be the last ex
hibit of Mr. Girardins in this city for
several years. He intends -fo leave about the last of this month for an
extended western trip and will, for the next few years be engaged in painting views of the Rocky mountains and the
picturesque scenery of lower California. . Mr. Girardin now has on exhibit a picture in the Cincinnati Art Museum called 'The Old Apple Tree" which is attracting national attention. Artists of consideVable reputation from all over the country have pictures in this exhibit but Richmond is well represented.
MISS BEEVES GETS A PORTLAND HOTEL
She Is Also Running One at Winchester.
Miss Florence Reeves, formerly of this city, has assumed the management
of the Muldoon hotel at Portland. Miss
Reeves is at the head of the Randolph
hotel at Winchester and will remain in charge there, dividing her time be
tween the two cities. The name of
the Portland hostelry will revert to
"The Merchants," by which it was for
merly known.
New York, July. 14. Alone in a big 100-horse power racing automobile, running eighty miles an hour on the Long Island motor parkway, William K. Vanderbilt, Jr., is alive today after performing an almost unbelievable feat of good driving and nervy acrobatics that saved him from being crushed to death in the most dangerous sort of an accident. x
Mr. Vanderbilt drove from his home i at Lakeville, to the race course In his i
new $lf,000 machine. When he got : upon the concrete surface of the Parkway, over which the Vanderbilt cup race of last year was run, the idea occurred to him to go after the record of the course.
He sent the machino one fast lap in
a trifle over ten minutes.
Then he made the second lap in a
shade above nine minutes.
Goes Ninety Miles. The third lap was the one he really
meant to be the record breaker. Mr. Vanderbilt shoved his gas and. spark controls wide open and the big racer leaped ahead at seventy, eighty and
then ninety miles an hour, with the daring driver holding it steady to the center of the twenty-foot road.
The racer shot past the big grandstand, skidded' around a right hand
curve into the next to the last straightaway stretch of the twelve miles, and
plunged forward toward Central parK away ahead of the record. But in the Central park way stretch the universal joint broke. That is the mechanism that transfers the power
from the crank shaft under the four cylinders to the driving shaft that runs to the rear axle. The universal joint in the machine is directly under the little iron seat upon which the driver sits. Like a Cannonball. With tremendous force the big steel released from the crank shaft plunged and struck against the iron seat It had almost the Impetus of a
cannon ball. The blow flung Mr. Vanderbilt upward and forward. First his breast struck against his steering
wheel, then he shot head first out over the sloping hood of the machine.
In some wonderful fashion he caugnt
himself as he slid down the hood. With the agility of a gymnast he turn
ed about and managed to get a hand
upon the wheel and clung there. WThen the Joint broke no more pow
er, of course, was sont to the rear wheels, so now the car was coasting.
The plunging of the loose shaft had
half locked the wheels, too, greatly redudre the speed. But It was still go-
ine fast enough to be death dealing.
While Mr. Vanderbilt clung to the wheel, the car turned suddenly from the center of the road to one side and began to climb a steep embankment.
With another remarkable contortion he managed to grasp the emergency brake. He jammed it fast and brought the big gray racer to a stop with its blunt nose only a few feet from the
embankment.
