1903 Friday January 2, 1903 EVENTS of EVERYWHERE Two Men Were Killed and Four Engines and Two Freight Trains Demolished by a Runaway Engine at Liberty, Ind The ARLINGTON JOURNAL, Arlington, Texas. 1903 Friday January 2, 1903 EVENTS OF EVERYWHERE Two men were killed and four engines and two freight trains demolished by a runaway engine at Liberty, Ind. The crown princess of Saxony has disappeared and the best efforts of the police of Europe have failed to find a trace of her. The Most Rev. Frederick Temple, archbishop of Canterbury and primate of all England, who had been ill for some time past, is dead. Ten men, the survivors of the crews of the schooners that collided in Massachusetts bay, have been landed at Boston. Their sufferings were frightful. Northwest Missouri has a 23,000-acre farm, where more corn is raised than on any other farm in the world. But not a bushel of it is marketed as corn, but is used to fatten hogs and cattle which are sold in the markets. Friday January 2, 1903 Fearful Wreck in Canada. London, Ont.: During a blinding snowstorm Friday night twentyeight persons were killed and thirty others injured in a head-on collision between a westbound through passenger and a freight train near Wanstead, on the Grand Trunk railway. The wreck was due to conflicting orders. Some of the injured have since died. Friday January 2, 1903 The Standard Oil Company now controls the Beaumont oil field, and a great raise in prices to the public may be looked for. Several consumers own wells and can go on undisturbed in the use of fuel oil. Friday January 2, 1903 Sad Fatality in Limestone. Mexia: On Christmas day while some boys were out hunting and as Moss Cogdell, a lad of 13, was pulling a gun through the fence, it was discharged, and the load shot away two fingers for Starley Cogdell, a cousin of the other lad, and then entered the stomach of Moss. He died Friday. Deceased was a son of Mrs. I. B. Cogdell, a widow, and is the fourth son she has lost in the last three years. Friday January 2, 1903 What is believed to be a crisis in the matter of an isthmian canal built by the United States government is at hand. Any further dickering with the doubtful and precarious government of Colombia is thought to mean absolute failure or indefinite postponement. In the opinion of the friends of canal legislation senators and representatives who have worked for it for years, is now time for the administration to adopt the alternative measure allowed in the canal act and complete the agreement with Nicaragua, so the canal can be built and the work begun at once. Friday January 2, 1903 Ed Grace Badly Hurt. Ennis: Ed Grace, a section workman here, while walking the track in the Houston and Texas Central yards Thursday night, was struck by a switch engine and badly, perhaps fatally, hurt. He was cut about the head and neck and injured internally. He was taken to the railroad hospital at Houston. Friday January 2, 1903 An epidemic of hydrophobia is prevalent among the dogs at Thornton. Four rabid ones were killed last week in and near town. Quite a number of dogs have been bitten and a close watch is being kept over all of them. No persons have been bitten. The ARLINGTON JOURNAL, Arlington, Texas. 1903 Friday January 2, 1903 Pharr‘s Fatal Fall. Corrigan: John Pharr, employe of the Texas Tie and Timber company, fell from a Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad trestle last night, causing instant death. Friday January 2, 1903 W. D. Watts Killed. Midland: W. D. Watts, a prominent citizen and ranchman, was accidentally shot and killed Friday afternoon, a few miles south of town, by his partner, S. W. Estes. His death is a great shock to his friends. Friday January 2, 1903 Accidentally Killed. Kilgore: While out hunting near this place, Frank, the 17-year-old son of R. H. Rowland, accidentally let his gun go off, shooting himself in the head. It killed him instantly. Friday January 2, 1903 The wife of Jim Williams, colored, was shot at a dance near Whitehouse, Smith county, Thursday night. She may recover. Friday January 2, 1903 Glancing Bullet Kills Wife. Shiner: A deplorable accident happened last night on the Koperky farm, about two miles from town. Vincent Janes, a renter on said farm, was firing a pistol to celebrate Christmas, when one of the bullets struck a tree, glanced off and entered the house, striking his wife in the breast, producing instant death. Friday January 2, 1903 ALL OVER TEXAS. A negro named Thomas, while attempting to break into a house at Gonzales was shot and killed Thursday night by Leslie Davis, colored, on Mr. Bott‘s farm. Thursday evening while Charlie, the little son of J. J. Holik, of Caldwell, was playing with a 22-caliber pistol, it was discharged and the ball went in his head. The pistol was supposed to have been empty. He is doing as well as could be expected. A Dallas citizen owned a game cock, valued at $15, which he greatly prized. Some jolly boy threw a lighted cannon cracker where the cock could get it, and the cock was afterward served for dinner. Harold and Burnett Williams, the two sons of D. E. Williams of Houston, have been released from jail on bond of $5000 each. The boys, together with the father, are charged with the murder of Dr. A. Elmer DeLipcsy last July in that city. Dr. Otto de Thompson, nephew of President Paul Kruger and formerly an attache of the Boer army, was in Washington county, Texas, trying to secure 2500 acres of land to accommodate some of the good Boers who are on their way from South Africa. Friday January 9, 1903 TEXAS IN BRIEF. William Sammons died recently at Fairview, Wilson county, aged 102 years. Mrs. Alice Thompson, aged 89, a resident of Austin, fell from a chair about Christmas day, receiving injuries from which she died on New Year. In the case of Charlie Duke, charged with murder, which has been on trial at San Angelo, a verdict of acquittal has been brought in. The jury was out five minutes. At a dance near Tennyson, as Arthur Hale jumped off the porch, a pistol fell from his pocket, striking the fence, and was discharged. The ball entered his body and killed him instantly. The ARLINGTON JOURNAL, Arlington, Texas. 1903 Dr. Hilario Rodguiez was called over from New Laredo Thursday night to see a sick woman, and while sitting by her bed in the act of writing a prescription he fell dead out of his chair to the floor. He was apparently a hale and hearty man. Friday January 9, 1903 I. B. Julian, a prominent stock farmer of the Caps neighborhood, southwest of Abilene, died Saturday morning. Friday January 9, 1903 Dying of Bubonic Plague. City of Mexico: There were seven deaths at Mazatlan Saturday. Twenty-one patients are in the hospitals. The authorities found the body of a plague victim hidden in the kitchen of a house in the outskirts of the city, members of the family having carefully concealed the fact that the disease existed. Friday January 9, 1903 Negro Boy and Twenty Horses Burned. Dallas: Sunday morning fire totally destroyed the offices, candy and vinegar manufactory and the stables of Hughes Bros. Manufacturing company, on Hughes circle, near its intersection with South Ervay street. The loss was $54,000, the insurance $27,750. A negro boy and twenty head of stock were burned to death in the barn. The separate building used for manufacturing purposes was untouched by the flames. Friday January 9, 1903 Venezuelan Crisis Eminent. Washington: Minister Bowen cables that the situation in Venezuela and Caracas is rapidly growing more serious. It is believed here that any hour may bring news that Castro is forced out. Every cent in the Venezuelan treasury is $2400. The department of finance is absolutely prostrate. All revenues have been cut off, all supplies have ceased, the pinch of the blockade is being felt everywhere. The payments to the army are largely in arrears. The soldiers are no longer being fed. Therefore, Castro‘s troops, who are for the most part simple peons, ignorant of what they are fighting for, are likely to turn tail and join the insurgents, who are well supplied, it is said, secretly by Germany and England, who are Castro‘s enemies. Friday January 9, 1903 Texan Killed in California. Los Angeles, Cal.: John F. Jones of Greenville, Tex., was shot and killed at a hotel here early Thursday by a New Year‘s reveler and fell from a second story balcony to the sidewalk. He had gone from his room to the balcony to look out on the street and was leaning over the railing when the bullet struck him and he fell over the guard rail. His body dropped into the midst of the crowd of people who were blowing horns and making merry over the New Year. Jones, who was a young man, came here from Texas a few months ago and was employed in the Santa Fe railroad office. Friday January 9, 1903 Shot Four in Celebrating. Newark, N. J.: Four persons were shot as the result of John Hackel‘s celebration of the opening of 1903. Hackel had discharged one barrel of his shotgun and was preparing to fire the other when it was prematurely discharged. The greater part of the charge entered the chest of Lena Neiderff. She is dangerously wounded. The other victims were Mrs. L. Neiderff, shot in the face and head; Mrs.

  • The Mysterious Island by Jules Verne 1874 PART 1--DROPPED from the CLOUDS
    The Mysterious Island by Jules Verne 1874 PART 1--DROPPED FROM THE CLOUDS Chapter 1 "Are we rising again?" "No. On the contrary." "Are we descending?" "Worse than that, captain! we are falling!" "For Heaven's sake heave out the ballast!" "There! the last sack is empty!" "Does the balloon rise?" "No!" "I hear a noise like the dashing of waves. The sea is below the car! It cannot be more than 500 feet from us!" "Overboard with every weight! . everything!" Such were the loud and startling words which resounded through the air, above the vast watery desert of the Pacific, about four o'clock in the evening of the 23rd of March, 1865. Few can possibly have forgotten the terrible storm from the northeast, in the middle of the equinox of that year. The tempest raged without intermission from the 18th to the 26th of March. Its ravages were terrible in America, Europe, and Asia, covering a distance of eighteen hundred miles, and extending obliquely to the equator from the thirty-fifth north parallel to the fortieth south parallel. Towns were overthrown, forests uprooted, coasts devastated by the mountains of water which were precipitated on them, vessels cast on the shore, which the published accounts numbered by hundreds, whole districts leveled by waterspouts which destroyed everything they passed over, several thousand people crushed on land or drowned at sea; such were the traces of its fury, left by this devastating tempest. It surpassed in disasters those which so frightfully ravaged Havana and Guadalupe, one on the 25th of October, 1810, the other on the 26th of July, 1825.

It played a key role in the events often referred to as the Stonewall Uprising or Rebellion, and has served as an important site for the LGBT community both before and after those events. As one of the only public open spaces serving Greenwich Village west of 6th Avenue, Christopher Park has long been central to the life of the neighborhood and to its identity as an LGBT-friendly community. The park was created after a large fire in 1835 devastated an overcrowded tenement on the site. Neighborhood residents persuaded the City to condemn the approximately 0.12-acre triangle for public open space in 1837. By the 1960s, Christopher Park had become a popular destination for LGBT youth, many of whom had run away from or been kicked out of their homes. These youth and others who had been similarly oppressed felt they had little to lose when the community clashed with the police during the Stone- wall Uprising. In the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, a riot broke out in response to a police raid on the Stonewall Inn, at the time one of the City’s best known LGBT bars.

  • Chicago Police and the Labor and Urban Crises of the Late Twentieth Century
    The Patrolmen’s Revolt: Chicago Police and the Labor and Urban Crises of the Late Twentieth Century By Megan Marie Adams A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Robin Einhorn, Chair Professor Richard Candida-Smith Professor Kim Voss Fall 2012 1 Abstract The Patrolmen’s Revolt: Chicago Police and the Labor and Urban Crises of the Late Twentieth Century by Megan Marie Adams Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Robin Einhorn, Chair My dissertation uncovers a history of labor insurgency and civil rights activism organized by the lowest-ranking members of the Chicago police. From 1950 to 1984, dissenting police throughout the city reinvented themselves as protesters, workers, and politicians. Part of an emerging police labor movement, Chicago’s police embodied a larger story where, in an era of “law and order” politics, cities and police departments lost control of their police officers. My research shows how the collective action and political agendas of the Chicago police undermined the city’s Democratic machine and unionized an unlikely group of workers during labor’s steep decline. On the other hand, they both perpetuated and protested against racial inequalities in the city. To reconstruct the political realities and working lives of the Chicago police, the dissertation draws extensively from new and unprocessed archival sources, including aldermanic papers, records of the Afro-American Patrolman’s League, and previously unused collections documenting police rituals and subcultures.
