A Camden, Me, correspondent of the
Boston journal describes the second larg-
est ship ever built in the United States the
"Frederick Billings" of which mention
was made in our telegraphic dispatches
of yesterday, as follows She is built for
Carleton, Norwood e. Co. and is the sec
ond largest ship ever built in the United
States and the only four masted ship. Her
name is the Frederick Billings, in honor
of one of the owners in New York CON
nected with the Northern Pacific railroad.
Her tonnage is 262S and, considering the
difference of the new measurement, but
a trife smaller than the Great Republic.
She is square rugged on the fore, main and
mizzenmasts and her spankermast sails
are like those of a barques third mast.
The length of the ship is POI feet, and from
the deck to main truck it Is Isl feet. 1t
will give Il better idea of her huge proper
tiOns to say that her maStS Will extend 40
feet above the Brooklyn bridge, and three
of the four sections of the mastS Will
have to be lowered in order to pass under
that structure. The main sticks of the
masts are 30 feet long, made of solid Ore
gOn pine. The length of the fore and main
yards is 90 feet each and she will spread 1900
yards of canvas. The oak frame of the
ship came from Virginia and her hard
/ pine pldllkS from SCUM NdfOlIlld. IlcI
anchors were made in town at the Cam
den anchor works, and number five
as follows: One full patent Wotwan
anchor, ,24O pounds; one wooden stick,
5000 pounds one stream, $500 pounds zone
kedge, 900 pounds, and one spare anchor
400. Her chains measure $50 fathoms
and weigh % tons. She will go into the
water with copper bottom. 1t is not
known who will command her, the cap
tain's interest not having yet been sold.
/ The total cost will be about $4,000 and
she is built and finished throughout in a
substantial and tirst-class manner The
| firm of Carleton, Norwood * Co, the
principal owners, is without doubt the
| largest firm of ship builders and ship
owners in this country. They were es
tablished in 1910, and during the past
Is years have built "a vessels
and remarkable to say, all OF
them have been built by the same master
workman, John Pascal, although on this
last ship he is assisted by his son, Chester
L. Pascal The "a vessels are rs follows
Eleven schooners, IL briggs, IS barques and
ii ships, three of the ships being over 2OOC
tons. About one-half of the fleet is now

TRAMPS CATCH a TARTAR.
They Enter IL Farmers House and Meet
With Hot Reception.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Ind, Aug. lS.-The
residence of Noah Lockabill, on a farm
near Browns Valley, was entered by
tramps on Sunday. Lockabill was
awakened by the noise, sprang from his
bed, and closed with one in the room The
burglar was reinforced by two others
Mr.. Lockabill is a powerful man, and
flung the captured burglar against the
two others in such a manner as to bring
the three to the floor. Then he went at
them with a club. His wife brought a
clothes line, and together they bound the
tramps, sat down and waited for them to
recover. When the tramps regained con
seriousness, Mr.. Lockabill asked them
which they preferred-to be taken to Craw-
louisville and placed i'll Jail, where they
stood a chance of several years in the pen
tentiary, or be led out one at time
and receive such IL whipping as he would
administer They chose the latter. The
farmer took them out, tied them to gate
post and administered one hundred lashes
to each tramp with a large rawhide whip,
Each stroke raised Il huge welt on the
back of the tramp, and when the opera
ton was completed IA pool of blood could
be seen where they stood.

ROCHEFORT'S THREATS.
The British Embassy at Paris to be Blown
up and the Embassado Or Murdered.

PARIS, Aug. 19.-In connection with the
anarchist threats against the British en-
bassy here, growing out of Henri Roche
fort incendiary articles concerning the
death of Olivier Pain, it had been propos-
ed to hold demonstration in front of the
embassy yesterday, but the leaders of the
movement overawed by the precautions
taken by the police, refrained from as
sembling The widest projects of re-
venge are said to have been moothed at a
council of anarchists held last night. One
was to blow up the embassy with dyna-
mite. Another was to murder the ambaS-
sador by hurting Il hand grenade against
his carriage. The French government
telegraphed to the British foreign Office
giving the strongest assurances that the
embassy would. be protected and the per-
sons and property of Lord Lyons and his
suite kept sacredly from injury, insult or
annoyance.
Little notice is taken in London of the
threatened attack on the British embassy
in Paris, which is now guarded by the
police. The English are accustomed to
find amusement in Rochefort's threats,
The latter writes that Lord Lyons must
leave his old skin in payment for Olivier
Pains murder. The confirmation of the
statement that Pain has been arrested as a
Russian spy in India is awaited with great
interest.

derived from the Mansion house fund.
The annual cost of each boy is estimated
at cog. This figure is somewhat higher
than the average estimate for boys in in

a larger margin for educational expenses.
The boys will enter at ages varying from

the military training and discipline to
which the whole school will be subject
