The story of a quarrel in Dlsbrow's room, at Ternall's Hotel, puts a mysterious phase upon the case. Miss Pearsall, who occupies a room directly opposite Dlsbrow's, said that at 2 o'clock Tuesday morning she heard two men quarreling, and beard Disbrow exclaim: "I'll settle this right now." She says tho person addressed tried to mollify Disbrow, and then she heard them talking about a boat. Tbey left the hotel, and about daybreak Disbrow was seen to return alone.

INSANE ON PING PONG. Stubbs Wanted to Play Partridge, Jerome and Mayor Low for Their Offices. Lauren Stubbs. '49' years old, was arraigned before Magistrate Zeller, in the Tombs Police Court, Manhattan, this morning, and sent to Bellevue to be examined as to his sanity. After much questioning Stubbs said ho lived at a hotel at Greenwich and Washington streets, but of late he has been hanging about police headquarters.

When asked why he was there he told his questioners that he had been' challenged by Commissioner Partridge to" play' ping pong for the commlssionershl p. "If.

He has performed creditably on two occasions at Gravesend, and, with Dog gett guiding him, should be close to the leaders at the head of the stretch and will be fighting it out at the finish. Long before noon the crowds began to arrive, first in dozens and then by hundreds, and before 2 o'clock the grand stand, the field stand and the space roped off for the accommodation of those who drove down was filled.

Every seat was taken, and standing room was at a premium and the multitude was still pouring in without any sign of a let up. It Is distinctly a holiday crowd that has gathered to see the greatest of our racing events decided, a gathering that is only witnessed on Suburban Day, a crowd that is out to enjoy itself to its utmost and a crowd that will, on the whole, enjoy itself to the limit, whether it picks the winner of the race or not. The club house is filled with the patrician followers of the game, millionaires, whose Interest in the running turf Is of but a recent happening. The plebeians are seated in the various stands or congregated on the lawns. These are tl.e real supporters of racing, for without their patronage racing would soon die out.

All discuss the chances of the various contestants in the feature race of the day with an enthusiasm and gusto, and at the same time with a knowledge of the merits of the horses, that proves the strong hold that the sport has taken on the American people. In the betting rings several hundred bookmakers are preparing for the rush of bettors that will keep them busy from the time the first race is run until the close of the day's proceedings. The Suburban Handicap will not be run until after 4 o'clock, but there are three events to be decided before the main race of the day. Those will serve to whet the appetites of those assembled. One is the first half of the Double Event, for 2 year olds.

In which a classy lot of youngsters will try for honors, including River Pirate, Whitechapel, Golden Maxim, Whorler. Iri3h Lad and Charles Elwood. The whole card is an excellent one, and the sport should be as good as has been witnessed this season. The field carded to start in the Suburban Handicap is as fine a one as has ever tried for the purse. Gold Heels, which will, in all probability, go to the post favorite, is no longer regarded as an uncertain quantity on a heavy track, his work in the mud on Thursday morning having proven that he Is at boiue alike on a muddy or fast track.

Deeds to a $2,000,000 Estate and a "Spanish Liquid'' Figure in This Thriller. Carlo Cattapani, known as the Marquis do Cordova, whose disappearance was reported to the police on Monday last, was found at 2:13 this morning, bound band and foot across a rail of the Hudson River Railroad tracks at North River and One Hundred and Fifteenth street, Manhattan. He was but partially conscious when found and was thought to be suffering from the effects of some poison. He was taken to the J. Hood Wright Hospital, where his condition was said to be serious.

Cattapani was discovered by William Staff, caretaker of the Columbia boat house, at the foot, of West One Hundred and Fifteenth street, who released him and made known the situation to police. That the latter are inclined to take a cynical view of Cattapani'8 story is indicated by tho fact that he was placed under arrest and the suggestion an" advertising scheme was also made. The Marquis de Cordova is said to be a member of one of the oldest titled families in Italy. For several years he has been searching for papers which he claims will prcve his right to an estate in Spain valued at about $2,000,000. His search brought him to this country and the papers were, it is said, traced to Colorado.

Since the first of this year, the Marquis has lived at 58 East Eighty sixth street. In an apartment which he rented from Mrs. Mitchell. He has been conducting the search for his papers from this address and has been assisted in the hunt by Attillo Gajo. whom he called his "private secretarv." Gajo lives at the home of at 230 West One Hundred and Twenty fourth street.

Disappearance of the Marquis. The last time Cattapani was seen by any of his friends or by Mrs. Mitchell, was last Saturday night when he left his boarding house in the company of. Gajo to go to One Hundred and Ninety ninth street and Amsterdam avenue, whero they were to meet a man who. for a consideration of $100, was to tell the Marquis where the papers for which he was searching, could bi.

found. Nothing more was seen or heard Cattapani. About 2 o'clock the next mot ng another boarder in Mrs. Mitchell's hd who occupied a room next to that of the trquis was awakened by a noise as if someVme in the latter room was placing the bureau "drawers on the floor. No attention was paid to the matter and In a few moments everything became quiet and the man went to sleep.

Jn the morning whenMr Mitchell 'left 'her pedrp.om she found a number of the articles belonging to the marquis lying on the floor of the hall and also found the door leading to his room open. It was then recalled that the marquis had often remarked that he was afraid of being kidnapped and it was also remembered that no had said he was in this country for the purpose of securing papers of great value to nim. A search was then instituted for tho marquis, but without success. William Staff, the caretaker of the Columbia College boat house, who sleeps in the boat house at One Hundred and Fifteenth street and the North River, retired last night at 10 o'clock. About 2:15 o'clock he was awakened by the voice of a man calline Staff looked out of his bedroom window and saw a man on the tracks of the railroad and unaware of the fact that he was bound asked him what ailed him.

"I am rich; if you will help me I will reward you," was the reply. "Get out of there or you will be run over!" yelled Staff. "Police!" again shouted the man. "Will you wait there until I get the police?" asked Staff. "Yes," replied the bound man.

"I can't move; I am tied." Tightly Bound to the Rail. Staff procured a lantern and going to where the man lay found that he was tlghtlv bound to the track. His neck lay on tho rail and his feet hung over the river bank, which is less than five feet from the outside rail. An inch rope held the man's neck to the rail; another rope bound his arras and hands to his body and was pulled around the end of a tie, while still another rope bound his feet and legs. On the man's breast was another piece of rope, for which the persons who had tied the man apparently had no use.

Staff Summoned Policeman Sullivan of the West One Hundred and Twenty fifth street station and together they carried the man into the boat bouse, where they removed the ropes from about his body. "I refuse to sign those papers! I won't sign them!" shouted Cattapani, as he was placed on a cot. He then became unconscious and remained in that condition until Dr. Taves, an ambulance surgeon from J. Hood Wright Hospital, took him to the hospital.

Dr. Taves made a partial examination of the man in the boat house and expressed an opinion that he was suffering from some poison. Before he was removed from the boat house the man became semi conscious and again shouted: "I refuse to sign those papers! I won't sign them!" "Why won't you sign them?" asked Staff. The man, evidently thinking that he was In the hands of his captors, jumped to his feet, but almost immediately fell back on his cot. He was placed on a stretcher and carried to the ambulance and conveyed to the hospital.

After ho had been put to bed. Cattapani became conscious, but was unable to talk. In the meantime detectives of the West One Hundred and Twenty fifth street station had reached the hospital and they asked Cattapani to tell them of his experience. He tried to speak, but could not. Then he motioned for a piece of paper and with pencil wrote that he wanted water.

His wants were supplied and then the man wrote: "I want my secretary." Cattapani again became delirious and sitting up in his cot looked at his clothing and shouted as loud as he could: "This is not my clothing nor my linen," and ripped from his body a shirt he hiid on. The man then became quiet again and after a few moments of apparent sleep opened his eyes and on the paper given him by the detectives and nurses wrote: Cattapani's Story of the Kidnapping. "I have been kept a prisoner since last Saturday. I have been poisoned with a Spanish poison. I can't talk.

Sent immediately for my secretary. Euctllio Gajo. core of O'Keefe, 230 West One Hundred and Twenty fourth street. Give me something to drink. WU you please send a telegram.

1 have money. Please do it. I was kept without drink or food since Saturday and they wanted to give mc a kind or Spanish narcotic. They wanted me to sign some puper and to make me look as a suicide." Cattapani then became unconscious again, but shortly after seemed to recover and said mat on last Friday he went with Gajo. Vincent "Casalle and another tnitn, whose name he does not knew, to One Hundred and Ninety fifth street and Amsterdam avenue.

He had an engagement to meet a man named Smith, who had replied to an Bodies of Miss Sarah Lawrence and Clarence Foster Fcunci in Shinnecock Bay. LOUIS DISBROW He Was With the Couple Monday Might and Was Seen at Queens on Wednesday. (Special to the Eagle.) Good Ground, L. June 14 The mystery of the disappearance of Miss Sarah Lawrence, a summer resident of this place, and Clarence Foster, a native, was cleared up this morning by the finding of the bodies of the. young man and the girl.

The bodies were found in Shinnecock Bay, within a short distance of each Foster's body was found at o'clock this morning and the body of Miss Lawrence at 10 o'clock. 'A Dayman named Caffrey discovered Foster's body about one hundred yards off the shore of Pine Xcck Point, which juts out into Shinnecock, between the West and East Bays. The body was in comparatively shallow water. Caffrey took the body ashore and Coroner John Nugent was notified. He arrived at Good Ground soon afterward and hold an inquest over the remains.

The discovery of Miss Lawrence's body was made by a hackman who was driving a party of newspaper men to the shore where Foster's body was taken. The hackman was standing up in the carriage and, glancing out over the bay, saw what he thought was a woman's body floating In the water some distance further out than, the point where the corpse of Foster was picked up. A boat was immediately put out and the body was foup i to be that of Mi3s Lawrence. The girl's remains were taken ashore and an inquest will be held this afternoon. There is no doubt that both deaths were accidental, Foster and Miss Lawrence having been out on the bay in a rowboat late on Monday night during the heavy blow.

There is stil! much mystery, however, concerning Miss Lawrence's disappearance on Monday night. On that night she went out firiving with Louis Disbrow, and it was known that they afterward met Clarence Fsicr. Ml3s Lawrence had been stopping her mother at the Ocean View House cn Tiana Bay, which is an offshoot of Shinnecock. They spent the evening together, pud it Is believed that lata on Monday night they drove dowifugh. Ti3na.ntte..past the Ocean View House, and out no Pine Neck Point to the house where Disbrow Was boarding.

After leaving Disbrow and the carriage: at'that point, Miss Lawrence and Foster got into a rowboat at Squire's Deck, evidently with the Intention of rowing around to the Ocean View Dock, a distance of about half a mile. There was a gale of wind blowing, and the bay was very rough. The following day the boat, half full of water, and with one oar missing, was found in the bay. There was little doubt then in the minds of the natives that both Foster and Miss Lawrence had lost their lives in the storm. Story of the Disappearance on Monday Night.

The chief element of mystery in the case is furnished by the simultanEous disappearance on Monday night of Louis Disbrow and Clarence Foster, who were with Miss Lawrence that evening. Disbrow ie a young man from Richmond Hill. Foster was married only a short time ago and it was only a few weeks ago that he went down to Good Ground with his wife to, spend a deferred honeymoon. Mrs. Fester is prostrated by the death of her husband.

Though Mrs. Foster baa not seen Dimp Lawrence, as the girl was called, her husband eaw her every day. She was supposed by some to be engaged to Disbrow, who was with her nearly all the time. Foster's attentions occasioned but little comment from the villagers, as Disbrow was with her while Foster was In her company. So far there is little basis for the story of a quarrel between Disbrow and Foster on the night of the disappearance.

Ugly stories have been going the rounds, but all that can be authenticated is the fact that Miss Lawrence went with Disbrow and Foster last Monday night, first to a livery stable and then to Ternall's Hotel on Shinnecock Bay, where they spent some time making merry, dancing and singing. No one not concerned in their disappearance knew what became of Foster and Miss Lawrence after leaving Ternall's. Disbrow has been seen since. At 10 o'clock Tuesday morning he drove up to Wells' livery stable In Good Ground and left the team the trio had hired there the night before. He paid the bill and went away very hurriedly.

Mr. Wells says he was greatly excited. Hardly had Disbrow left when the alarm went forth that Foster and Miss Lawrence were missing. A boat was gone from Squires' landing. Disbrow was known to have been with the couple the night before.

He claimed that he drove with them to the Hampton Pines clubhouse in the early evening, dined with them there and then drove back with them to the Ocean View House, where he left Fester and the girl. Disbrow had a room at Ternall's, where the attendants say that he and the couple were dancing and singing until late at night. His story conflicts with that told by the girl's mother, who says that about midnight she heard the sound of carriage wheels and, taking a lantern, she went down to meet her daughter, as she felt certain Dimp was in the carriage. "As the vehicle drew near I called my daughter," said Mrs. Lawrence.

"She did not reply directly, but I recognized her voice, which seemed to be muffled, and then I heard sounds as if a scuffle were going on in the carriage. "I ran out into the roadway, for I knew it was my daughter, and tried to stop the carriage, but the men there' were two of them whipped up the horses and drove away. The occurrence shocked me so I hardly knew Significance of the Many Recent Changes in the Company's xscutive Officos. DOW SMITH, SUPERINTENDENT. A 300 Pounder Who Docs ICot Get Tired and a Porter Man Prom Minneapolis.

People who are acquainted with the situation in tho recent changes that hav; been made in the officers and in the plan of nj orritlon of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit system of a new policy. The advent of the men from the West to take charge of the responsible offices of the company means that fnr the present, at least, new methods are to be tried and that nyn who have knnwn each other and worked with each other In railrpad business in the Northwest are to have a chance to see what can be done hero with the big rapid transit system. The first evidence of this was when President Greatsinger came from Duluth. That was but one change, and token by Itself it meant only that President Rossiter was to be superseded by a new man. President Greatsinger came a little over a year ago, and in tho time that he has been here he has done much to improve the company, to build up its business and to increase lta earning capacity.

Recently more changes have been made. The position of assistant to the president was created and F. C. formerly controller of the Twin City Rapid Transit Company, a company which has the exclusive franchise for the cities of St. Taiil and Minneapolis, came cn to fill the new office.

To day it is announced that Dow Smith, at present the general superintendent the Twin City company, is to become the general superintendent of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, and that he will be here some time next week to begin the duties or his office. Ho was here about two weeks ago, looking the ground over, and it was after this trip of inspection that he desided to come to Brooklyn. Other changes have very recently been made in tho workings of the company. Tho new position of Controller was created and W. B.

Longyear, formerly the company's auditor, was promoted to the new position. The positions of auditor of disbursements and auditor of receipts were made. j. C. Brackenridge, formerly general manager, has been made chief engineer in charge of construction and maintenance of way and the position of general manager has been abolished.

With the 'new office of assistant to the president It was found that there was no necessity for the position of general manager, for Mr. Greatsinger and Mr. Calderwood will. divide the duties of that office between them. Now for the reason of all these changes.

From an authoritative source the Eagle is informed that it means that for tho present at least H. H. Porter is to be the active interest in the management of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company. Since tho change in the directorate of tho company, two or three years ago, when a number of new men camo Into tho board and some of the former directors, mostly Brooklynltes, by the way, went out, the prominent forces in the management of the company have been Anthony N. Brady.

H. H. Porter, A. R. Flower and E.

H. Harriman. It is understood that it was largely at the suggestion of Mr. Porter that Mr. Greatsinger, who has in most of his railroad experience been connected with Mr.

Porter, came to Brooklyn. Mr. Great singer's coming was followed by good results. But the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company has never paid what its stockholders have thought it should pay and quite naturally the efforts of those interested in it have been directed toward securing greater net earnings. Seeing that the advent of one man from the West, with new ideas, was successful, Mr.

Porter wished to bring on more. After discussion, so the Eagle is informed on good authority, Mr. Brady, Mr. Flower ai.d Mr. Harriman told Mr.

Porter that they would give to him a free hand to introdue what changes he thought necessary into the management of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, and that they would refrain from active participation in the company's management other than that called for by their membership in the board of directors and executive committee. This does not mean that there is any discord in tho board. Far from It. Each of the men named retains his holdings in tho company and increases them as opportunity offers. They arc only allowing a man with a definite policy, a policy that has proved valuable so far as it has gone, to go farther in the carrying of it out.

Mr. Greatsinger, who comes from the Northwest, knows that there is no better street railroad man in the Northwest than Thomas Lowry, president of the Twin City Rapid Transit Company. Mr. Porter knows this fact also, and both know that the men who have been trained under Mr. Lowry understand the street railroad business from top to bottom.

Mr. Porter has large interests in the Northwest, and knew these facts from observation as well as from hearsay. Hence It came, about that as soon as Mr. Porter found that he was free to go ahead with his plans for the betterme.nt of the company he sent to tho Twin City Rapid Transit, Company for two men that he knows know the operating end of the street railroad business. It will be noted, incidentally, that tho creation of the office of controllo" followed very closely upon tho arrival her of Mr.

Calderwood, who had beer; ins controller of the Twin City Company. Dow Smith, who Is to be general superintendent of the company, is a Western man. He graduated from tho University of Minnesota both in arts and In engineering. For a few years he was connected with iron companies at West Superior and then went to Minneapolis to the Twin City Company. He has been with the latter company for some eight or nine years, and is now about 38 years old.

He is an indefatigable worker, and. although he weighs 300 pounds, does not know that there is any. such word as tired in the language. It has been thought by some that the resignation of Mr. Williams as vice president' was in some way connected with the recent changes.

There is the best of authority for saying that such resignation did not enter into Mr. Porter's plans. Mr. Will laws Is an encyclopedia ou Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company's affairs, and, If possible, the directors of the company will persuade him to stay with the company.

Kept Prisoner in a Damp Cellar. At that time, Cattapani says, hfs captors, who wore masks, tried to feed him on a Spanish liquid. He was then in a damp cel lar ana nis nanas were tiea. i ie says captors frequently asked him If he was ready to sign the papers releasing his right to the i estate that he believes Is rightly his. The i Marquis says he believes Ills captors were 1 Spaniards.

I Later, when Cattapani examined the clothing which he wore, he declared It was his, with the exception of the shoes and trousers. An examination showed that the man had an abrasion on the left knee. The marks made by the ropes seemed to be fresh. When found. Cattapani wore a black coat, but no vest; a white negligee shirt, gray striped trour.ers, lace shoes and a russet leather belt.

He had no hat. In his coat pocket was a white silk handkerchief, a gold cigarette case and a gold paper cutter. He had no money. Detective Lawson of the West One Hundred and Twenty fifth street station placed the man under arrest as being a suspicious person. At the residence of Mrs.

Detective Lawson learned that Gajo had lived there seven months; that he had left the house last night to look for Cattapani and had not yet returned. Mrs. O'Keefe. who Is an Invalid, said that the Marquis was known to her. having lived at her home for some time previous to moving to Mrs.

Mitchell's. He has one sister married to a nobleman In Italy and says that another sister Is engaged to nnother nobleman. Patrolmen Sullivan and Fry, after making an investigation qf the place where Cattapani was found, said they believed the man was taken to the spot In a' boat, as no street leads to the river front between One Hundred and Tenth and One Hundred and Twenty ninth streets. The railroad track had three tracks whero the body was found. The two inside tracks are in regular use, while the third track, the one to which Cattapani was tied.

Is used only occasionally. Last night it was not In use. James W. Coogan, who Bs a boat bouse at the foot of One Hundred and Sixteenth street, says that four men In two boats approached bis float last evening and when ho hailed them rowed away. They came back a half hour later and again, pulled rapidly down stream when hailed.

Ho thinks they may have had something to do with the Cat tupant's case. William J. Hagan Adds to the Interest of the Story. William J. Hogan, who lives at 230 West One Hundred and Twenty fourth street, Manhattan, where Gajo also lives, said this morning that he had accompanied the Marquis, Gpjo and Casalla to Amsterdam avenue and One Hundred and Nlacty nlnth street last Friday night.

Hogan" srld that the Marquis came "to this country in April, 1901, and for Seven month's he had lived at the: home of O'Keefe before going to Mrs. Mitchell's house. On May 18 a story of the Marquts' search for the papers appeared in a Sunday paper and soon after Cattapani received a letter signed by one Alexander Smith telling the Marquis io go to Fort George Saturday night, walk down the hill from the last house about fifty feet to a large stone which would be marked with a large cross. He was to place on the stone an envelope containing 5100 and then go away; remaining away for fifteen minutes. Cattapani did as Instructed, according to Hogan's story, and when he returned he found In the same envelope a map of Pueblo.

showing where he could find a casket containing the papers for which he had been searching. Hogan says after Cattaparif had gotten the envelope the party boarded an Amsterdam avenue car and returned down town. Hogan the Gajo left the car at One Hundred and Twenty fourth street and Casalle and the Marquis continued on the car to Eighty sixth street, where the latter boarded crosstown Eighty sixth street car and went home. Casnlle continued on his way down town. He is a druggist at 58 Sullivan street.

Hogan is" a machinist. Hogan says that the Marquis earned his living by painting and that he had to send to Europe for the money which he left In the envelope for Smith. At the hospital late this afternoon It was said that the Marquis' condition was good and rather contradicts the statement that he had been practically without food since his disappearance a week ago.

She had been brought up to like the water ever since she was a little girl and during the summer spent a large part of her time sailing on Shinnecock Bay. While not a she was full of pranks, fond of dancing and had almost a passion for the theater.

There never was a sailing party on Shinnecock Bay, with Dimp Lawrence a member, that was hot enlivened by spirits were in fcctiodfsV Last winter she was 3ent to a convent school, in Mount Vernon, but she did not remain there long. The family was living In Froeport, which place" tliy left' a few. fd' to go to Good Ground. Dimp spentvmuch 'of her time w'Uh an atmt, in Manhattan, during the. winter.

For" a time after moving to Good Ground U'it month she was ill, but recovered rapidly under the combined influence of quiet country life and the bracing salt atmosphere of the south shore. The" Lawrence family was among the first of the summer visiters at Good Ground, the hotels there not usually filling up until after the Fourth of July. JOisbrow's Career at Good Ground. Louis Disbrow. whose friends call him Lou.

has been known in Good Ground for several years. It is a peculiarity of Good Ground's summer residents that they nearly always come back the next year. The place has a fascination for lovers of the salt water. Lou Disbrow comes from Jamaica. A few years ago.

when bicycle road racing was the rage, Disbrow and his two brothers figured quite prominently In events on Long Island. The trio rode a triplet and had the reputation of being one of the fastest teams on the Merrick Disbrow, five summers ago, spent much of his time at Ground with two girls who were known r.s "The Twins." They were Edna and Jessie Everett, sisters, and although they are not twins they look much alike and always dressed alike. Their father keeps a livery stable in Jamaica and they used to have a cottage on Pine Neck Point. About a year after this Disbrow and Jessie Everett were married. The girl was then but sixteen years old.

Their married lite brought only a brief happiness and they separated. There was no legal separation. The Everett girls have continued to go to Good Ground every summer. They were seen regularly at the bathing beach last season wearing, as usual, bathing costumes exactly alike. Disbrow was clerk of the Garden City Hotel a year or two ago.

He had known Dimp Lawrence for several years and last winter they spent much time in each other's companv, which was not to the liking of Mr. and" Mrs. Lawrence. If there was any engagement the friends, of the young people did not know it. Disbrow was frequently seen at Freeport, where the Lawrences spent the winter and frequently he and Miss Lawrence went driving together.

Clarence Poster a Native and Expert Sailor. Clarence Foster was a picturesque character. He was a typical country boy who tried to fall into city ways. Clarence was about 23 years old. He was short in stature, muscu larly built, very dark, with hair so curly that It was almost kinky.

He wasn't handsome, but was rather what is commonly termed a "pretty boy." Clarence was a native of Good Ground, but when summer came round he didn't mix much with the natives. Like all baymen down on Shinnecock, he was a good saiior of small craft. He was brought up on the water and he could handle any kind of a boat that was ever brought into the bay. For several years past he earned hia living during the season by sailing the house boat for some hotel or boarding house. The house boat is an institution at Good Ground.

Every house that takes boarders has a sail boat that leaves for the bathing beach, three miles across the bay, each morning, carrying the city folks across for the surf bathing and bringing them back for dinner. A fleet of eighty craft tied up at the long dock at the beach is no uncommon sight. Some of these boats are sloops, 35 or 40 feet in length, and it is no easy taak to take one of these clumsy craft through the narrow and shallow channel to tho beach, with half a hundred other boats doing the same thing at the same time. Clarence did this every summer since he was in his early teens. He was not particularly popular with the Good Ground natives.

Perhaps the baymen resented his attempt to. be like one of the city boys, but there was not a man at Good Ground who will not admit that he was one of the best sailors on the bay. Clarence" was always dressed in the most aggressive summer costumes. His neglige shirts were riots of color, his neckties chromatic marvels and bis clothes of the most extreme type of whatever fashion happened to be In vogue. Added to his raiment, a curly head and a sunburn of the deepest hue.

made Clarence Foster a striking figure for a quiet little place like Good Ground. Clarence always had a girl, almost since anybody knew him. The girl she was usual Continued on Page S.

Effect of Disturbances In Declared to Been Pelt in. Pennsylvania. Haf nsburg. June 14 The coateitldn' of geologists that the recent disturbances' in Martinique would not only affect territory adjacent to Martinique, but would also' 'be noticed in this country, is borne out by the following letter sent by Colonl H.

C. Dem ining. of the United States Geological Survey, to Charles D. Walcott, director of tho United States Geological Survey, Washington, D. C.

"During the past month I have taken at various places in Pennsylvania, In my geo ir glcal work, a number of elevations above sea level, and I have found, in every case, where elevations had' been taken previously, that' the present figures show higher elevations than before. It is possible that this is due to the reismic disturbances in the Martinique and other islands scutheastwardly from the United States. I found the variation to be from two inches to more than twenty four on comparing them with older records at Honeybrook, Chester County; Columbia, Lancaster County; Gettysburg, Adams County; Newville, Cumberland County; and Harrlsburg, Dauphin County."
