2 AUTOMOBILE USED TO COLLECT MAIL Experiments at Buffalo SfyDW a Great Gain in Time Over Horse Wagons. CALL HEADQUARTERS. WELLINGTON HOTEL "TON July Dorr of Buffalo has demonstrated that there is a great field for the use of automobiles in the postal service of large 1 cities Ld that their use will reduce expenditures and expedite he col- 0 lectio- of mails. Through the kindness of Dr. Thurman J.

Martin, who owns an automobile trap, the Postmaster was to make cal experiments in the collection of mails, and his report on their result has lust been received by the Postoffice Department. He says that Dr. A Martin oS the use of'hls automobile for a trial in the collection of mails from street letter boxes and to demonstrate it, advantages over the horse collection wagon. -Or 8. The first trial was made on Saturday evening, July 2 when Dr.

3 Miller managed the automobile, carrying with him Superintendent of Carriers BieS, who collected: mail from forty boxes on a route eighteen 5 miles long in one hour and thirty minutes. To cover the same route with a horse wagon required more than three hours. jj trial was made on another route the next morning, when mall was 0 collected from sixty-three boxes in one hour and fifty minutes. The time 88 required for a horse wagon to cover this route is three hours and Aye mln- 0 88 Estill another test was made on July 4on another route fifteen miles In length, with fifty-four boxes, and collections were all made in ninety Dorr informs the department that Dr. Martin has ordered a specially designed wagon to be fitted with a box for receiving mail immediately in front cf the driver, and that when it has been received it SI will be put into service, and a report will be made of its performances, This report will be awaited with much interest and it may lead to ex- periments in other cities.

8 The Buffalo experiments show an average saving of time of nearly. one-half hour over the wagon service, and if this can be maintained it will enable the department to give more. frequent collections and to ex- tend the collection and free delivery service further into the suburbs of cities without any increase in cost.

TRAGIC DEATH OF MRS DICKENS Naval Captain's Wife Is Killed by Explosion. a HANDSOME HOME WRECKED PLUMBER'S POT AND GASOLINE CAUSE THE DISASTER. Entire Third Story Front of the Beautiful Washington Residence Blown Out by the Violent Shocks. Special Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, July Fire and explosion In the residence of Captain Dickens of the United States navy at 10: this morning resulted in the death i of Mrs.

Dickens, who died before mcdl-; I i cal assistance could reach her. Other persons about the house were severely but not dangerously wounded. The Dickens residence is a handsome I three-story brick building on Nine- teenth street, directly back of the Brit- 1 ish embassy, and within a few steps of I Dupont Circle. The first intimation of the disaster was a low rumble, followed by several violent shocks, blew out the entire third story front of the residence. The firemen made their way to the third story, and among the debris littering the front room they I found the blackened corpse of the unfortunate woman.

Mrs. Dickens' death was edly caused by the explosion, and it is not" believed she suffered any from the flames which succeeded. The rescuers were led to the spot by Plumber Vaughan, who was himself burned about the face and arms. He received I these burns in a heroic effort to rescue Mrs. Dickens.

He and his assistant had entered the room in which Mrs. Dickens sat cleanj ing some rugs when the explosion hap- I pened. The two men were thrown down by the explosion. Vaughan seized Mrs. Dickens and attempted to drag her from the room.

The flames were, however, so tierce that he was corn' pelled to drop her and flee for his own life. He thinks that she was then dead, i The plumber and his assistant were putting on a gutter at the rear of the roof. Having completed the job, they I descended the ladder to the third story, The plumber's assistant carried a light- ed melting pot. Vaughan detected the i strong fumes of gasoline, and through I the open door to the front room caught a glimpse of Mrs. Dickens sprinkling liquid on the floor with the evident pur- pose of preparing to cleanse it.

He gave i warning to his partner that gasoline was being used and that there was danger from the fire pot, but at this I Instant the terrific explosion occurred, i literally enveloping the entire third I story in a mass of flames. The explosion was of such force that it rent the stone steps in front of the) house. The plumbers say that considerable quantities of the gasoline had apparently been spilled upon the floor. Word was sent to the Navy Depart- i i ment, where Captain Dickens is next to Admiral Cmwninshield at the head of the Bureau of Navigation. The ex- act character of the catastrophe was i not made known to him, but he was i brought hurriedly to the Dickens resij dence in a carriage.

He almost fainted i as he was helped from the carriage up the street entrance steps. He fied the body as that o. his wife. The body of Mrs. Dickens was borne to the I next house, where a -surgeon of the I navy resides.

Captain Dickens is one of the best known connected with the Navy Department, and he was brought into prominence at the time the Maine was. blown up at Havana. He was then acting chief of the Navigation Bureau and it fell to his lot to receive the first dispatch from Captain Sigsbee, giving information of that disaster. Mrs. Dickens was an authoress of some note, one of her best known books being "Around the World in a Manof-War." She was also a frequent trlbutor to magazines.

MYSTERY FADES INTO A DOMESTIC SCANDAL Continued From First Page. ladies had escaped most fortunately. Then came the climax to the comedy. Mr. Scheib appeared to tell Rathom that Mrs.

Rathom must leave the State at once and agree in writing to permit Rathc-m'to secure a divorce. The divorce of Rathom and Mrs. Rathom was no concern of Scheib, but. it was a "matter of vital moment to his friend, 1 Miss Campbell. Scheib had seen very little of Miss Campbell after she had left his home, but his wife had seen much of the lady.

Scheib insisted that Mrs. Rathom had sent the poisoned candy, but how he discovered the asi sumed fact is not known. Miss Campi bell had not told either him or his wife, as the Oakland lady had not disappeared from the scene until after Miss Campbell had disappeared, from the Scheib house not return. Mr. Scheib's business instinct also asserted and he demanded $50 from Mrs.

Rathom to pay the physician who had attended Mrs. Scheib. The money. was not paid and Mrs. Rathom has not left the State.

In this way the affair appears to be ended. Rathom is quite sure that neither his' wife nor Campbell sent the poisoned cher! ries, and he is positive that he did not do so. He was around town last night with Miss Campbell making these assurances. Mr. Scheib is authority for the statement that neither he nor his wife is guilty and the police declare emphatically that- nobody intended to poison anybody and that no poisoned cherries went through the mails.

With Praise Service Then Thousands of Christian I Delegates came the Roar of the Elements. Special Dispatch to The Call. DETROIT, July The mooted ques, tion of the number people brought into Detroit by the Christian Endeavor convention cropped out at the outset of to-night's in Tent Endeavor, when Secretary Baer took occasion to publicly criticize the news; papers for stating that the influx of delegates from other States was not nearly as great as had been anticipated 'in the local committee's estimate. Mr. Baer had no statement yet to.

make as I to the attendance as -compared with He promised to make one I later, but he called. on all Endeavorers present to rise. A large majority of those present stood up, which Mr. Baer assumed to be proof of his view of the attendance question. The newspapers' estimate of the total visitors is 20,000 in round numbers.

Mr. Baer. denied that anybody connected with Christian Endeavor committees had ever told Detroit people that they had reason to expect 50,000 Endeavorers would attend. -At all events the i secretary insisted that the Christian Endeavor tents had never before been so crowded. Bishop B.

W. Arnot (colored) presided over the tent Endeavor meeting tonight. The Rev. Dr. Quayle of Indianapolis, one of the speakers on the evening programme, was announced to have been called to Kansas to the bedside of his dying father.

Silent prayer was offered in behalf of Dr. Quayle. The devotional exercises were led by R. R. Patterson of San Francisco, the moments of meditation and prayer by Rev.

George E. Soper of St. Paul. The address of the evening was by Rev. John.

Henry Barrows of Oberliu College. During its delivery the rain again descended, increasing until the noise on the roof almost drowned the sound of Dr. Barrows' voice and he was compelled to desist. Umbrellas were raised all over the tent, but comparatively few left and the. crowd stayed and sang sons after song, overcoming all sounds of the storm and all ideas of increasing discomfort.

At length the rain ceased long enough to allow Dr. Barrows to proceed. Largely attended evangelistic services were held during- the noon hour at factories and public squares throughout the city. The afternoon was given up to conferences in the larger churches. COLONEL BRYAN AT THE COLUMBUS DOLLAR DINNER Judge Tarvin Denounces the Attempts to Relegate the Silver Question to the Rear.
