FAIL OF A HISTORIC HULK.
The Old New Orleans Parts Amidships
with Fatal Result


Between 10 and II O'Clock this morning
the old war ship New Orleans, which has
been on the stocks in Saekett's Harbor
since 1915. and has been undergoing
demolition the past three weeks, says a
WATERFOWL. n. Y, special of the 9th inst,
parted directly in the centre and fell to
the ground, instantly killing a workman
named John Oates and seriously injuring
Ralph Godfrey. NJ. Jeffrey, and a man
named Hemens. Eight other workmen
narrowly escaped. Oates was terribly
mutilated, spike being forced entirely
through his head and a bolt through his
back. The New Orleans was begun by
Henry Eckford, of New York, about the
1st of January, 1915, under contract with
the government. Her name was fixed by
the authorities after Gen. JacksOn's vic
tory at New Orleans on Jan. 8, the same
year. She was to be 5000 tons burden,
1S7 feet length of keel, Sc feet beam,
and 40 feet depth of hold; pierced
for 40 guns, but could carry 100.
When Eckf0rd was awarded the con-
tract a large force Of men was secured
and timber was gathered from the sur
rounding forests. Nails, spikes and bolts
were forged on the ground, the bolts being
entirely of copper. The timbers were
keel being of an extraordinary size. The
gun carriages were carted across the
country from the Mohawk valley, and
were composed of mahogany and lignum
vita, and are still in the storehOuse at
Sackett's HarbOr. The Peace Commits
siOners from England and the United
States met at Client, Belgium, and de-
clared peace on December "a, 1914. The
news did not reach Washington till the

two weeks later that EckfOrd received or
ders to cease work, which he did about
March l. During sixty days the immense
ship had been nearly finished, the main
deck was laid aud supports for the bull.
warks raised. The New Orleans was in
tended to be used as a sort of float
ing battery, to be stationed at the
head of st. Lawrence river to prevent
the British fleet from entering the lake.
As she was constructed entirely of green
wood it is an open question whether she
could ever have been navigated. Eckford
some years later accepted the position of
Superintendent of Naval Construction
under the Turkish Government, and he
died abroad. In 1884 he built several
vessels for the United States, among 9TH
ers the Jefferson, whose hulk may now
be seen during low water at Sacketts
HarbOr.
The government caused a house to be
erected over the New Orleans several years
ago, but that was finally destroyed, al
though the place was visited by hundreds
Of tourists and curiosity seekers each sea-
son. In 1882 Congress ordered the sale of
the New Orleans at Auction. Last August
Alfred Wilkinson, of Syracuse, bid her in
for $500. While being demolished under
his orders the accident occurred. Will

SMUGGLING THE KORAN.
Valuable Seizure at the ConstantinOple
Custom House.

custom hOuses
A Western museum has just sustained
a very great loss, says the New York
Herdld'S Constantinople letter, by the
seizure at the Custom House of mag
nifcently Illuminated Koran dating from
the thirteenth century. This manuscript
was considered unique. 1t had been
shown IN Paris last year, eliciting as a
first offer 10000 francs, but its proprietor
had reason to expect much larger sum
from its sale in London, and was sending
the precious book there with that object.
This Koran has been in the possession of
a very respectable Jewish family as an
heirloom for more than a century.
Their right to its possession will be diff
cult to prove, as it was originally pre-
sented by MahOmet the COnquerOTtO the
Mosque of st. Sophia. AS the family in
question have been bankers for genera
tons, this Koran was probably pledged
with an ancestor by some needy Sheikh-
ul-Islam or hard up Ulema who had ac-
cess to the archives. 1t is rather hard
for the eX-proprIetor to lose such valua-
bic article. Its seizure by the customs
authorities can hardly, however, be con-
sidered an outrage, seeing that a law eX-
lists against the expectation of antiqui-
ties, and as a nOn-Mussulman he had no
right in the eyes of 'strue believer" to
have possession of a Koran.
That he should have attempted to ship
it through the custom house is an indica-
ton of the atmosphere that prevails there
in spite of the German refOrmers. A sill
yer key, as a rule, Is a good passport, and
the gentleman in question had every
reason to imagine that, being among per-
sonal effects, it would escape observation
as the luggage of a traveller. UnfOrtu-
nately for him, the departure of certain
mail steamers having been delayed on
account of bad weather, the officials had
very little to do, and his very anxiety to
prevent their opening box led them to
expect a valuable find therein. He got
them to postpone the examination of the
box until the morrow, on the plea of his
being busy, hoping in the meantime to
find some way Of squaring the officials,
but his back was no sooner turned than
the chisel was at work again, and the
Koran coming into view was sent off at
once to the Sultan. 1t now remains with
His Majesty to consider whether some
compensation or not is due, for the return
of the Koran is not to be expected.

A special despatch from St Louis,
Mo-, says: At the "house warming
of the new headquarters of Frank Blair
Post, G. A. R., General sherman re-
ferred to the late war as conspiracy,
not rebellion or secession. General
Sherman was met in his study and he
readily explained the remarks. He
said: The men who instigated the
war were conspirators and should have
been shot on the spot. Jefferson Davis
was in the employ Of the Government,
and when ha sought to destroy 1t, he
was couspirator. l saw letter da-
ted Senate Chamber, U s., and signed
by two Senators, Slidell and Benjamin,
ordering the Governor of Louisiana to
seize the Government arsenals. Was
not this conspiracy of the most
fear fu nature ? Jefferson Davis sought
to establish Government of Southern
gentieIn en- who would rule the masses.
His desire was for q limited franc bise,
limited to land owners. The poor
whites, in his estimation, should be
crossed with the negro. Had he succeed
ed in his conspiracy, he would have car
ried this out in the South and then i'm
