Great excitement was occasioned at
the Brooklyn navy yard ON Friday, when
it was reported that torpedo boat, re-
Gently experimental with, had sunk with
three men on board. 1t appears that
after the board of naval officers had
postponed their experiments, three men
remained on board to do some work.
She suddenly sank, but the hatch was
closed, and this prevented water from
flowing in and drowning the men. A
steam derrick was Immediately moored,
and after two hours work the boat was
raised. The men were still alive, the
compressed air in the alright chambers
not having becoming exhausted. The
men had been under water three hours.
The mercury took sudden jump yes

1t is very warm this morning.
Forresters case will be resumed to-
day, when it is stated another important
witness will be produced, whose startling
evidence has been kept secret by the
police for two years. This witness,
George Kelsey, chemist, employed at
the time of the Nathan murder in, a
medical laboratory in University Place,
saw man in the Park on West WASH
ington square, on the morning Of the
murder, who appeared greatly excited.
His shirt front was covered with blood,
as was also the cuff of his right shirt
sleeve. Kelsey communicated with
Captain Hedder, of the police, and has
since identified Forester as the man
seen on the morning of the Nathan
murder.
Forester, the alleged Nathan muir
derer, has just been discharged from
custody by Judge Bowling.

The Musical Nuisance.

The musical season seems TO have
opened throughout the city. Every
night, from eight until twelve o'clock,
the most inharmonious strains CT vocal
music floats away from the upper regions
of buildings inhabited by young men Of
a musical turn Of mind. A piano &C.
compartment adds considerable TO the
screams of the choristers. The German
flute is occasionally brought into reauisi
ton with effect when duller minds desire
rest and sleep about midnight. A nni-
sance is defined By law writer's as any
thing that worketh hurt or inconvenience
to your neighbOr." The villain who caps
the climax With an internal brass wiHd
instrument deserves TO be strangled by
the public. But as Shakespeare has it:
"If music be the food Of love, play on.
Give me excess of it, that, suffering, the
appetite may sicken and SO die. That
strain again. Enough no more; It's not
so sweet now as it was before.

THE HORSE AND HIS RIDER.-It was a
happy day for horse and his rider when
the MUSTANG LINIMENT was introduced
as a cure for external diseases and inju-

lent is equally useful. If horse is

CALLED, or afflicted with any other Of the
many superficial ills that equine flesh is
heir to, the Liniment effects speedy
cure, and it is equally efIicacious when

hurts Of any description. As an appli-
cation for bruises, cuts, burns, rheuma-
tism, stiff joints, sprains, neuralgia, ear
ache and toothache, it takes precedence
for all other topical remedies, and is
therefore an article of prime necessity
in families. eod-d&w

LEcTUR1NG has not become popular
lied in Memphis. 1t is most difficult
matter to get two hundred people to-
gether fer the purpose of listening to a
lecture from either man or woman. II
does not seem to please the public and
why? A writer in Blackwoods Maya
zine says: Because people hate informa-
ton. They only go to scientific lectures
as they would to see Greek play if il
was the fashion. But the exuberant
chuckle of laughter with which the weak
est attempt at a joke on the lecturer
part is welcomed by the grayest audience
is proof, quite strong enough, of the
WEAKNESS of natural man over the dry
husks of instruction, and his delight
when anything turns up which has an
unexpected flavor.

TURKISH justice is prompt and efee-
tive, though not so severe as Of yore. In
the days OF Ashmoud II, defaulting
Vizier would doubtless have paid for his
peculations with his head. In the more
civilized generation Of Abdul Aziz, q
Vizier who has stolen 100000 is let of
with Punishment and the eon6scation OF
his estates. Ulysses might take useful
lesson from Aziz. While the unfaithful
Vizier is mourning in penniless Danish
ment the theft of several hundred thou
sand dollars from the public treasury,
taken, as is understood, in small amounts,
ia the usual way of dishonest contracts,
Robson, who at one swoop plundered
the treasury of $4,000, is still in power
and in the enjoyment Of bis master s
confidence. A little Turkish justice
would evidently be good thing in

Who invented the sewing machine
The machine dates from oar day, and
already the name of the inventor seems
to be in doubt. In this country, Elias
Howe is generally recognized as the
man who first put it in operation, but
England and France. both claim the
honor of this simple and useful inven-
ton. The people of the city of Lyons
now propose to viRdicate the claims OF
one of their fellow. citi2ens-Thimon-
nier now dead to have been the inventor
of the sewing machine. A national
subscription will soon be started IN
Lyons and throughout France for the
purpose-frst, of. making known to
France and to the world that Barthelemy
Thimonnier, born at Abres-le-Rhone, in
1898. is the true inventor of the practi-
cal sewing machine; second, to publish
biography Of the inventor, together
with all the official documents, patents,
jury reports, ETC., necessary to prove
the invention; third, to assist the chill
dren of Thimonnier, now in need, and,
finally, to place statue of Thimonnier
in one of the public squares of Lyons.
Under these circumstances, it may well
be asked, Who invented the sewing
machine2

TIE Bolivar lHardeman county, Bull

race in this district, has the following
cheering news: There is no doubt
but what Hardeman is strongly for
Haynes, and that the people will lead
off the banner county on the 9TH of No
vember next. If Shelby, Upton and
Fayette will only come down to the
work with half the vim and earnestness
Of Hardeman, then Lewis and Kellar
will be elected to stay at home. There
is no division in the ranks here" The
only hope of the disorganizers is to Sc
cure Lewis withdrawal from the contest,
a thing not by any means improbable,
because strong effort in that direction
is making at present and with fair hopes
of success. The negre vote is to be
transferred if possible.

If so he should withdraw from the con-

tism of the State in jeopardy.
