The Lesson of the British Naval Man.


LONDON. Feb. 21.-Extracts from the re-
port of the committee on naval maneu-
vers in 1888 will be presented to the
House of Commons to-day. They say that
the nation has every reason to be salts
fed with the personnel of the navy, but
that the main lesson of the maneuvers is
that Great Britain is far from being as
strong as she should be on the seas.
They say; I'VE are decidedly of the
opinion that no time ought to be lost in
placing the navy beyond comparison with
the combined naval forces of any two
powers. At the same time we believe the
navy is strong enough to engage any
single maratime power with success"

Pieott Nearly Collapsed.

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-The Evening

Pigott had been under cross examination
for only a few minutes to-day the forger
made a sad exhibition. He faltered and
hesitated, and it was clear to every one
in the audience that but for the
fact that the court opportune-
" arose, he would have col
lapsed. Morally and physically he is
a wreck. The concensus of opinion of
men of all shades of political opinion is
that the Times case has already utterly
broken down. The general feeling Is that
Pigott will tomorrow either confess the
forgeries or refuse to answer furthe'
questions and be arrested.

FOUGHT TO KILL,

Desperat" Fight with Knives at BirmIng-
ham, Ala.-One of the Participants
Dead, the Other Badly Carved.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Feb. 22.-Birminc-
ham comes to the front again with her
usual daily murder or fatal tragedy. Last
night as Freight Conductor Joe L. Jones
of the Alabama Great Southern pulled
into the depot about eight O'Clock and
stepped off his caboose he was accosted
by Albert Knight, an ex-brakeman whom
he had discharged some days ago. Words
passed and bloody fight with knives en-
sued. Jones is lying in the hospital
carved all to pieces, and knight lies
cold corpse at the city police station.
1t is stated by those who saw the fatal
difficulty that Knight must have killed
himself, as the only wound apparent about
his body is deep stab on his left leg, lust
above the knee, evidently striking the
femoral artery, and the puncture bears
the semblance Of dirk stab, the weapon
he handled. He was carried to the police
station, and never lived to tell his story.

FOR FRENCH FLATS.
Purchase of Stockton Ave-, Alle-
gheny, Lot for an Experiment
FIRST BIG APARTMENT HOUSE,
And Not a Theater, to be Constructed by
the Purchasers.
A ASIx-FLAF STRUCTURE CONTEMPLATED

C. II. Love yesterday sold the property of
the Tiernan heirs on Stockton avenue, Alle-
gheny City, 7Ox24O feet, with an old resi-
dence building, for $4,000 to d. T. Wat
son, Esq, and r. n. Head The price paid
is for the ground, as the buildings are not
considered worth anything as an invest
ment
The sale is of more than ordinary inter-
est, from the fact that Fred Parke and other
gentlemen have been for some time engaged
in the consideration of its eligibility for a
site for thester for our Northside neigh
bors. 1t is also stated that, since the sale
was consummated, Mr.. Parke, or someone
supposed to be similarly interested, had
offered an option to hold the property for
time at S35, 600.
Mr.. Love said he did not feel at liberty to
state what intention the purchasers had,
but it is conjectured elsewhere, and in fact
there are people who say it is not conJee-
ture, but a crystalized fact, that Messrs.
Watson and Head intend to build an apart
ment house, comprised of a number
of flats for rent to be built after
the most approved style in. vogue in
the Eastern cities Whether or not they
intend to have a culinary department at
tached, which will take the burdens of the
kitchen off tenants was not ascertained; but
it was suggested that the communal idea in
this respect might be entertained. The in
tention is said to be to put up building
six stories or more in height, and it is
thought cooperative cooking project may
also be in view.
Attention has been called in the past to
the advantages poor people might gain were
they to band together and employ pur-
chasing agent on salary to buy food for
them. They could pay him liberal salary
and then feed themselves SO per cent cheap
er and much better than they can under
present methods of purchasing. For in
stance, barrel of onions can be bought on
Liberty street to-day for 81 40, while bushel
bought in a small way costs 81 60.
1t is estimated by some that if co-opera-
tive and scientific cook, who knew how to
utilize odds and ends, were employed by a
number of families they could secure better
food at a rate that would not only save the
expense of servants but the cares of the mis-
tress of the household, allowing her time to
get acquainted with the babies in the few
intervals which life in society allows her.
Stockton avenue enjoys the reputation of
being The best adapted location for boarding
houses in the two cities.

ADAM SKATERS BLOOD
Is Traced to the Hands of Thomas Hol-
Ioway by the Coroner's Jury.


The bloody butcher knife with which
Thomas Holloway is alleged to have almost
decapitated Adam Slater at the Gould
boarding house in Cork's Run, Saturday

identified at the Coroner's inquest yesterday
morning. Walter Green, James Gould,
Mrs Mary Gould, Constable Klishum,
James Atkinson, joseph Rollison, John
Cochrane, James Nicholson, Chris. Stein
miller, DIR. T. R. Miller and Charles Black
burn were the witnesses, and they detailed
the various phases of the tragic story as
heretofore published.
They agreed that Holloway had explained
his bloody deed by saying: S'Adam asked
me to do it." There could be no possible
doubt as to the character of the occurrence,
though some of the witnesses were doubtful
as to Holloway's alleged drunkenness at the
time. On the following verdict Coroner
Mcdowell committed Holloway for murder
in the first degree:
Adam Slater, aged about % years. came to his
death at the residence of James Gould, Char
tiers township, Sunday, January 90 1889 about
12O9 A. NJ, from hemorrhage of the neck and
facial arteries, due to his throat having been
cut From all the evidence the jury finds that
such cutting was done with butcher knife in
the hands of one Thomas Holloway in the
dining room of said house about II so p NJ
Saturday night, January l9, 1883, with felonious
intent.
