JACK THE PEEPER HOME ICE MORE Rubber-neck Friend Returns To Richmond After a Long Vacation. OUT CALLING LAST NIGHT
OWING TO FACT THAT HIS RETURN WAS NOT EXPECTED ONE WEST SIDE WOMAN HAD VERY BAD FRIGHT. After an absence of several months, "Jack the Peeper" has again made his appearance in Richmond. This time he is terrorizing residents on the West Side in the vicinity of Sheridan street The police have been notified of' the man's disagreeable presence In that section of lie city and will make an Investigation. Last evening Mrs. Charles Helnbaugb, of 600 , Sheridan street, was greatly frightened by the appearance of a rough looking man's face at the window of her home. Mrs. Heinbaugh was alone at the time and the man, apparently J-ealizlng this fact, continued to grin evily at her through the window pane until she became almost frantic with fright. The alarm was given to the neighbors and at the homes of W. C. Sissman and C. P. Soper, on Sheridan street, it was found that the peeper had also been seen sneaking aroand the house and looking through the windows. Excitement reigned supreme in that neighborhood for a few minutes and the women and childrcu were greatly agitated. A small but determined posse of men was formed, who searched for the creature for quite a while and had he been caught he undoubtedly would have fared badly In the hands of the angry men. v Richmond has been unusually free from this species ' of annoyers this year. ; . l ne ; iasi , complaint, against "Jack the Peeper" was registered by residents in the4 cast end several months ago, but that locality evidently became too warm for the man, who disappeared before the police could locate him. CHIEF MILLER HURT He Experienced a Painful, But Very Fortunate Accident Today. FALLS FROM A SCAFFOLD Fire Chief Edgar Miller met with a painful, but exceedingly fortunate accident at the city building about 1:30 o'clock this afternoon. He was engaged in assisting in the erection of a scaffold and decorations for the fall festival in front of the building when his foot slipped and he fell from the structure to the cement pavement beneath, a distance of perhaps fifteen feet. The chief alighted on his head and shoulders and the fact that he was not instantly killed is considered remarkable, it is said by those who witnessed the accident. In falling Miller struck a heavy beam and bruised his right shoulder considerably. His scalp was torn open by his contact with the pavement and an ugly wound resulted, although not necessarily serious, i The chief was carried, unconscious, into the office of the No. 2 hose house where medical attention was Immediately given him. He soon recovered, however, and was removed to his home on North Eighth street. It will be several days, perhaps, before the Injured man will be able to resume his duties. PETERS CONFESSED Otto Peters, who was implicated yesterday by Frank , Townsend. in the thert of goods from the C, C & L. freight cars about five weeks ago, confessed this noon that he was one of the guilty parties. He admitted having stolen some shoes, underclothing and a quantity of gin from the cars. Peters will probably be bound over to the juvenile court and sentenced to the reform school. ; r 1 . . Frank Laugel. who was released yesterday, was re-arrested this morning and finally confessed that he also was Implicated in the freight car thefts. The police are gradually rounding up this gang of youthful desperadoes and solving the mysteries of Beveral recent robberies that have baffled them, heretofore. Several other arrests will doubtless be made within the next few day.

BIG AUTO SKIDS; TWO WERE KILLED Riverhead-Mattituck Derby Event Opened Today With Tragedy. HERBERT LYTLE A VICTIM DARING AND FAMOUS DRIVER WITH HIS MECHANICIAN, J. BALES, WERE CRUSHED UNDER THE WRECKED MACHINE. (American News Service) New York, Sept 29. Herbert Lytle, the famous professional racer, was probably fatally injured and his mechanician, J. Bales was killed when their Apperson automobile skidded into a ditch and turned completely over, burying both beneath it shortly after they started in today's Long Island automobile derby event on The Riverhead-Mattituck Course. They were traveling seventy miles an hour. Sixteen cars started. Louis Chevrolett, driving a Buick car, made a new record of 111 miles in ninety-nine minutes and six seconds. BAYER HAS THRILL .George Bayer, a prominent young man had a narrow escape from instant death this morning, when putting up the large box kite, carrying the Fall Festival banner. He attempted to fly the kite from the roof of the Y. M. C. A. building in a strong breeze, and in doing so the kite pulled him to the very edge before he was able to release and save himself. The building is four stories high and a fall for this distance would undoubtedly have meant instant death. The kite was lost.

PALLADIUM WANT ADS. PAY.
The large barn, four miles south of the city on the Liberty pike, owned by William S. Grimes of South Seventh street, burned to the ground yesterday afternoon about three o'clock. The origin of the fire Is unknown. It is believed the loss will aggregate almost $2,000, although the building was partially covered by insurance. Frank Tice, an employe of the farm, discovered smoke arising from the structure and immediately gave the alarm. The fire had gained such headway, however, before the arrival of help that the efforts of the men to cope with the flames were practically useless. Realizing the futility of extinguishing the fire, the men gave their entire attention to saving the live stock, consisting of many head of fine horses and cattle. By the greatest effort all the live stock was removed from the burning building and the volunteer firemen by their quick' work, were able to save a number of the most valuable implements also. Owing to the dry hay which was stored in the barn, the fire was a very spectacular one, the flames leaping high in the air. It is estimated that about 20 tons of hay, 250 bushels of oats and pr obably 250 bushels of wheat were burned in the fire. A number of small buildings where tools are kept, also caught fire from the sparks and were partially destroyed.
IN THE BASQUE COUNTRY. The Peculiar Lupwce ed Odd Cm. terns of the People. Of the strange scenes and customs of the Basque country a traveler writes: "I was struck by the way the women walked and carried themselves. A fat old woman with a huge tray on her head walked along at a swinging pace, shouting her wares meanwhile at the top of her voice. I saw a woman carrying on her head first of all a large tray of fruit (its size can be imagined when I tell you that it was afterward her stall). On the top of this were a basket of washing and a big umbrella to be used to cover the stall. Then in her left hand she carried a supplementary stall, and by the" other she led a little child which could just reach the mother's band by holding its own up as high as it could stretch. "I was waiting once at a little wayside inn in the village of Ascain when I saw an old lady, followed by two great fat white pigs. They all three waddled over to the village pump, and then, procuring some water in a pail, the old lady proceeded to wash her charges. She cleaned them most assiduously eyes, ears, tall, back, hind quarters and feet. "There Is a dignity of carriage about all the women in this country. I fancied It might be due to the fact that formerly, before the 'Code Napoleon' came into operation, the law obliged the firstborn, whether boy or girl, to Inherit the patrimony and continue the head of the family, the husband taking the wife's name when the Inheritor was a woman, thus giving the woman a perfect equality from her birth. The matrons are not less beautiful than the younger women. "Quite unlike any other language Is that of the Basques. Although when hearing the people talk a Spanish sound seems to be occasionally emitted, it is not really at all like Spanish. I was amused to find that 'no' Is 'ess' In Basque, and when I asked what 'yes' was I thought at first the answer was na, which would hare been very curious, but it turned out to be 'ba, with the b softly pronounced." t A PERFUME THAT SMELLS. The Awfal Odor That Come From Pare Attar of Roeee. The perfumer took from his desk a small flask of copper. "In flasks like this attar of roses comes to us," he said. "Attar of roses is worth from $10 to $25 an ounce, according to the market. This flask is empty now, but in it a little odor still lingers. The visitor smiled delightedly. He had never smelt pure attar of roses before. Now he unscrewed the stopper and, closing his eyes, with an ecstatic look he applied his nostrils to the flask. But only for an instant. Then he threw . back his bead, twisting bis features into a grimace of disgust, and he exclaimed: v "Garbage! Bone yards! Glue factories!" The perfumer laughed. "All essential oUs smell like that," he said. "Yet no good perfume can be made without them." He took from a shelf a cut glass )ax filled with a thick, yellowish oil that looked like petroleum partly refined. "In this jar,- be said, "there are forty ounces of pure attar of roses worth over $500. Tou know how the attar smells alone. Now watch me make a rich perfume by adding things to It," He put a few drops of the attar into a viaL He filled the vial with spirits of musk, another of orris, men one of neroli. one of rose, of violet, of orange, of vanilla, and. Anally, the oil of cloves and bergamot. "There," he saM, "smell that Isn't Jt exquisite V "Exquisite!" said the visitor. WeIL without its foundation of the malodorous and costly attar of rosea it wouldn't smell any better than a plate of soup." New York Herald,
Rupert Stanley was today elected captain of the Earlham College foot ball team by the "E" men. Stanley 13 one of the most popular students of the college and his choice will be beneficial to the team as well as the athletic association. The "E" men who were permitted a vote, included Bruner, Hill, Johnson, Beebe, C. Jones and H. Furnas. Stanley played center on the Earlham varsity for two years and gained a state wide reputation in that position. He was voted on for captain last year when John Hancock was elected. During the past year he was president of the Earlham College Y. M. C. A., and a member of the Earlham base ball team. His selection will be a great help to the coach, as Stanley possesses a keen knowledge of the game. He has been looked upon as first assistant to the coach during the practice games this week. At the practice on Reid Field yesterday afternoon thirty men reported. This number did not include Hughes and Connoley of the New Haven. Conn., high school. Both men arrived yesterday and will report at practice this evening. Both are considered star men and have a great reputation in the East. Coach Glen Thistlethwaite stated last evening that the team was entirely untried as yet, and that no member was sure of a place. He hopes that after three or four practice games the Quakers will be able to win from Cedarville college, October &
WANTED. Wanted Ten men to work during the Fall Festival. See Ed Harris, Sec'y. FOR HOCKEY LEAGUE ( American News Service) Chicago, Sept. 20. Plans for the formation of a national ice hockey circuit were discussed at a meeting held in this city at which there were present William T. Richardson of the Boston Arena; A. S. McSwiggan of Duquesne Garden, Pittsburg; Thomas Prior of the New Chicago rink and Allen I. Blanchard, president of the Western Skating association. It is the purpose of the promoters to organize on lines similar to those of the major base ball leagues and play a series of inter-city matches this winter. In addition to the cities represented at the meeting, St Louis, Brooklyn and Toronto are on the list, with Buffalo, Milwaukee and Cleveland as possibilities. The promoters of the proposed circuit intend to go after the best professional talent obtainable and will have some kind of an agreement with the Canadian associations to prevent the jumping of contracts which prevailed in the old international circuit. A CASE THROWN 00T The case of the Commercial Bank of Union City against the Stillwater Oil company, to collect an assessment which was tried in the Randolph circuit court before special Judge Fox of the Wayne circuit court., yester day, was thrown out of court, by sus taining the demurer of the defendants to the plaintiffs complaint.
