LEWIS ACQUITTED; ONE BALLOT TAKEN Second-Jury in Assault Case Returns Verdict in Five Minutes.

After being out but five minutes the jury in the John Lewis Brandon case returned a verdist of not guilty in the Wayne circuit court shortly before 6 o'clock last evening. But one ballot was taken by the jury. The jury received the case at 5:50 o'clock. Brandon or Lewis, as he is commonly known, was charged with having assaulted Edith Moon the eleven-year-old daughter of John Moon. The jury in the first trial was unable to reach an agreement. Lewis is the player-manager of the Lewis-Oliver repertoire company which played a ten-weeks engagement at the Murray theater during the past summer. One Sunday evening while walking from his boarding house to a livery , stable he met the Moon girl and she accompanied him to the stable. Lewis hired an outfit and took the girl for a drive in the south part of the city, later driving to the Starr Piano factories on South First street. The girl returned to her home crying and, according to the prosecution, informed her mother that Lewis had assaulted her. Lewis was arrested and released on $1,000 cash bond. Mr. and Mrs. Lewis will go to La Cross, Wis., tonight where they will join their company. A TAXICAB STRIKE IS ON IN LONDON (National News Association) LONDON, Jan. 1.

New Factories Constructed and Extensive Improvements Are Made Number of Houses Are Built.

1913 PROMISES TO . SURPASS LAST YEAR Manufacturers " 'Are Confident that Large Increases in Amount of Business Will Be Experienced. ' r J -. I Never before in the history of the city of Richmond were the factories as busy and monied interests a3 well off as they are at this time and the year of 1&12 was the most prosperous year this municipality has ever rxperienced, according to statistics gathered by Charles W. Jordan : ,of the Commercial club. ? . During the past year among the most extensive improvements and construction work accomplished were the building of the Reliance foundry, the Smith Warehouses, D. S."Browu Collar Pad factory, the Richmond Ladder factory, the Veneer Door factory, the Kresge Five and Ten-cent store, the completion of the Second j National Bank building, and opening of the Palais Royal store. The I. O. j O. F. hall, the Masonic hall, and the j East Main Street Friends church have . been remodeled. The Adam Bartel j j company has remodeled its business house, and the F. & IV Jawn Mower company has constructed a new building. J During the year 1912, 225 houses were built in this city which is fifty less than the number built the preceding year. The bouses which were built in 1912, however, are more substantial than those of the preceding year, as shown by reports of building permits In the city controller's office. " Proposed Lines. The year 1913 promises to surpass rtio naet vmr 1 or rati niisnmpnrs ana J tions are in evidence. Public improvemeuis wnicu wui greauy mcrease me valuation of property In Richmond will be made. The traction line run ning north and south through Richmond will .be commenced, some time during 1913. The proposed street car lines extending through the southeastern part of the city will be agitated again and the proposed lines are expected to be built. The proposition of a northern route extending to the hospital was not as favorably received by the company as the southeastern route. The Hawkins, Lake and Park pro ject will be nearly completed this year and the sale of lots and building of cottages will be commenced some time in the late spring or early summer. The dam will be completed in June. The city has made numerous improvements in the way of constructing cement sidewalks, curbing and gutters, macadamizing streets and in improving city parks and public buildings. City Improvements. Heads of manufacturing concerns in the city anticipate a large increase in sales for the ensuing year. From statements given a Palladium representative various factories will be obliged to employ larger forces to handle the work. Some of the statements follow: Look For Increase. Fred Gennett of the Starr Piano company The year of 1913 will mean a great increase in the sale of player pianos. We are expecting to turn out a much greater number of players in the coming year, which will mean that we will increase our force at the factory. The Starr Piano company has always ranked among the leading piano manufacturers of the country and we are turning out as many pianos as any factory in the United States. Frank Land of the M. Rumely Co. Last year was our biggest year but we expect this year to exceed it by far. We have materials on hand for building more goods than we did last year, and an increase in production means, of course, an increase in our working force. Last year we put out 100 gas tractors and have preparations for the building of 250 this year. Willard Z. Carr of the American Seeding Machine Co. We are anticipating doing our largest business in the coming year. . All of our products are turned over to the International Harvester Co., to be placed on the market so that we hare need of continuing the sales department.. All of the factory departments will take on additional men and the force will be increased to a large degree. Pettis Reid of the Elliott &' Reid Fence Co. Our orders in hand indicate a very favorable business for the year tre are now beginning. We expect to run the factory double time all through the spring in order to meet our advance orders.

Authorities Say They Will Declare Marriage Invalid as Girl Misrepresented Age to County Clerk.

GIRL'S FATHER IS ANGRY OVER MATTER ! Foster Parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Allen, with Whom Girl Lived, Appeared with Her for License. The marriage of Benjamin F. Hensley, aged 25, to Georgianna Doyle aged 12, will be declared Invalid according to the authorities who have proof that in securing their marrjage license Mrs. Hensley swore to an mtnth concernlng ner age aB did her fo8ter P&rents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Allen, of Center and West Fifth streets. No charges have been filed as vt On December 26, Mr. and Mrs. Jojseph Allen and Hensley appeared at ' the office of County Clerk Matthews and applied for a marriage certificate. Miss Grace Smith, deputy clerk, told the applicants that it would be necessary for the bride-elect to present herself at the clerk's office or the office of a justice of peace to swear to questions contained in the affidavit. Said She Was Sixteen. No applications were taken away by the applicants and in the afternoon Hensley and Mr. Allen returned with ! an affidavit sworn to by Mary and Joseph Allen before Justice of Peace ; Samuel Morgan that Georgianna Doyle was sixteen years of age and that her mother was dead and the whereabouts of her father unknown. This was not accepted at the clerk's office and the , i.u i i . i , but-thaflt would not be necessary for the gj'g f08ter parents to appear as they- already had sworn to the aflldavit before the justice of peace. Hensley then returned with the little girl. Miss Doyle said she was sixteen years of age and would be seventeen in January. The girl looked decidedly young for this age, according to he deputy clerk, and was questioned at the clerk's office. She also stated that she was ignorant of her father's whereabouts and that her mother was dead. The license was then Issued. As soon as her father, Wrm. S. Doyle, whom it was afterward learned lived In this city at 167 Bridge avenue, heard of the marriage of his daughter he was very much enraged and could not understand the action of her foster parents in allowing the child to be married so young. He stated that he did not believe that they could be Ig norant of his location in Richmond. Mrs. Doyle, mother of Georgianna, died several years ago and Doyle remarried. Lived With Aliens. Georgianna has been living with her foster parents ever since she was eighteen months of age. She has a brother, Joseph, and a sister, Edith Doyle, aged nine and eleven respectively. Mr. Doyle is a foreman at the F. & N. Lawnmower company. Allen is a teamster and Hensley is a band sawyer. Hensley and his young wife have been living with her foster par ents since their marrige. Prosecuting Attorney Reller and Mrs. Elizabeth Candler, probation officer, went to the home this afternoon and took charge of the girl. She will be cared for by Mrs. Candler until the matter is settled. GET ROWDYWELCOME Chicago Welcomes New Year Boisterously. (National News Association) CHICAGO, Jan. 1. Katzenjammers leered from the head board of Chicago bed today. Oh, such a New Years. The bumping wheels of the Ice wagon resounded through the streets as the vehicle answered hurry calls of fevered enthusiasts. One hundred thousand people joined in inserting the happy into New Years. Their method was simple, direct and elemental. It cost about fl.000,000 more work of the statistician to sesure sufficient quantities of champagne and minor inrigorators to furnish a sufficiently elaborate welcome to the HtUe stranger. In addition the crowds on the streets were so moved with the carnival spirit that it took a squad of Mr. McWeeny's very wisest cops to determine just where the rowdyism line was drawn. Some say that some of the "cops were not quite discerning enough. THE WEATHER I I bTATEAND LOCALrair and con-

jCrew of Freight' Train and

Thirtv Ironworkers Are Rebuilding Structure that Fell into River. TWO MEN REPORTED MISSING 15 HURT Seven Men Entombed in a Pennsylvania Mine and Frantic Families Stand as Guards Over It. (National News Aoc!ation) HUNTINGTON. W. Va.. Jan. 1. Six men are known to be dead, two others are missing and fifteen were injured today when a freight train on the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad went through a bridge over the Guyandotte river, three miles from here. Thirty structural ironworkers were on the bridge at the same time making alterations when it collapsed. Many of them were thrown into the, rover. Some swam ashore while others drowned. The dead: , Engineer Russell, Russell. Ky., fell into the river with his locomotive and was drowned. Emmet Woods, Talbot, W. Va., ironworker, drowned. Charles Maddick, Talbot, Ironworker, drowned. John Boyner, Huntington, ironwork er, drowned. Henry White, Huntington, ironworker, drowned. The locomotive and eight freight cars plunged into the river when the bridge collapsed. The ironworkers on the bridge were employed in enlarging it from a single to a double track structure. The fireman of the engine believing the bridge had been weakened refused to ride across on the train, and thereby saved his life. A force of men and physicians were immediately dispatched to the scene latarrrtyrt cording to early reports., . A MINE TRAGEDY. TAMAQUA, Pa., Jan. t Some and perhaps all of the seven minerB entombed yesterday in the mine of the East 1ehigh Co-1 company were alive this forenoon. Relays of miners worked all night removing blocks and debris. At 9 o'clock this morning rapping could be heard on an iron pipe leading through the gangway in which the miners were imprisoned, which showed that' all of the men had not been suffocated. Mine experts declared that all of them probably were alive. Wives and children of the imprisoned miners remained on guard all night and there evidences .of grief were pathetic, but they cheered up visibly when informed that there was evi dence of life in the chambers where their dear ones are held captive. At 10 o'clock the tapping suddenly ceased and fears were expresed that water had flooded the place where the men had taken refuge. However, many believed the men. worn out by their long vigil, had gone to sleep.
