4ure0 OF the IOr0nOSC 1rOnClaOS, less
than two miles away, were heading di-
rectly for them, and their rams might be
used with but little danger to the Liam
garon. but, on the other hand, three
swift crabs were heading directly for
these irOnclads.
1t was impossible for Crabs 9 and r
to operate in the usual way. Their mas
sive forceps, lying fat against the top of
the cylinder, could not be twisted The
enormous chains they held could not be
severed by the greatest pressure, and if
both crabs backed at once they would
probably dO no more than tow the Liam
garon stern foremost. There was, more
over, no time to waste in experiments,
for other rams would be coming on, and
there were not crabs enough to attend to
them all.
No time was wasted. @ signaled to r
and Il back again, and instantly the two
crabs, each still grasping chain Of thu
cylinder, began to sink. On board the
LlangarOn an order was shouted to let
out the cylinder chains, but as these
chains had only been made long enough
to allow the top of the cylinder to hang
at, or little below. the surface of the
water, foot or two of length was all
that could be gained.
The davits from which the cylinder
hung were thick and strong and the
iron windlasses to which the chains were
attached were large and ponderous. but
these were not strong enough to with
stand the weight of two crabs with steel
armOred roofs, enormous engines and
iron hull. In less than a minute one
davit snapped like pipe stem under the
tremendous strain, and immediately
afterward the windlass to which the
chain was attached was torn from it's
bolts and went crashing overheard. tear
ing away portion of the stern rail in
it's descent.
Crab o instantly released the chain it
had held, and in moment the great
cylinder hung almost perpendicularly
from one chain But only for mo-
ment The nippers of Crab R still firmly
held the chain, and the tremendous lev
erage exerted by the falling of one end of
the cylinder wrenched it from the rigidly
held end of it's chain; and in flash. the
enormous stern guard of the Llangeron
sunk, end foremost, TO the bottom of the
channel
In ten minutes afterward the Llanga-
ron. rudderless, and with the blades of
her propellers shivered and crushed. was
slowly turning her starboard to the wind
and the sea and beginning to roll like a
log of 5000 tons.
Besides the Llangaron three ironclads
were now drifting broadside to the sea.
But there was no time to succor disabled
vessels, for the rest of the fleet was COM
ing on and there was great work for the
crabs.
Against these enemies, swift Of motion
and sudden in action, the torpedo boats
found it almost impossible to operate, for
the British ships and the crabs were SO
rapidly nearing each other that torpedo
sent out against an enemy was more than
likely to run against the hull Of friend.
Each crab sped at the top of its speed for
a ship not ONLY to attack, but also to pro-
tect itself.
Once only did the crabs give the tor
pedo boats chance. A mile or two
north of the scene of action large cruiser
was making her way rapidly toward the
repeller, which was still lying, almost
motionless, four miles to the westward.

ANOTHER MAN ARRESTED.
Different Opinions Expressed In
Regard to the attempted
Assassination.

The LIGHT is informed on good authority
that a short time after the arrest of Harry
Newton, on Saturday, another young man. an
swering in many ways to the description cir
culated of Mr.. Lockwood's would-be assassin
was arrested and taken to the bat cave. but at
this time Mr. Lockwood had sworn 10 the iden-
tity of Newton as the man who attempted to
murder him, and therefore the new prisoner
was allowed to leave.
A. W. SchOenert, who was school fellow OF
Newton, states that there is no preteXt what
ever for saying that Newton has been in hid
ing since the night OF the attempted murder,
and affirm that he had been around continu
ally with him during the past week in the
open day light and on the public streets.
Mrs G. Kuhn says that Newton visited their
store for papers, cigars and milk shakes,
sometimes calling as often as three or four
times day. He called the same during the
past week as he did previous to his arrest.
Mrs. Conway's statement that Newton had
been in hiding since the murder is negatived
by testimony. and the letter is some"h hat re-
garded as being "bunkum." 1t was not in
tended that the letter should have been read
unless the lady died or disappeared, and par
ties holding IL were sworn to secrecy. Ihat
secrecy was only violated in the interests of
Justice. but the matter seems 10 be more ro-
mantle than reliable.
Schoenert says that he frequently "guyed"
Newton about the mustache and urged him
to shave it OFT, and he refused. saying his
wife objected to it. When she consented, he
had it shaved Off.
SMr. Bowski, the barber says that on an
average he deprives dozen men weekly of
their hersuite appendage. Some OF these are
strangers, and their motives for the change
is not known but many are citizens who have
no nefarious motive for the change made In
their facial appearance
Washington Irving Bishop is suspected by
some of having had some hand in the AFFAIR
This may be an injustice TO the celebrated
but cranky mind reader, though if be were
shaved and disguised, would somewhat an
swer the description of the man wanted. Mr.:
Bishop when here accused Mr.. Lockwood of
injuries done him and made threats, but these
statements were regarded as the idle varpor'
ing of q crank who was then angry.

States, in New York, took their de-
parture for the great metropolis this
morning, OH the o'clock train of the
Arkansas Pass railway. To say that
there were friends to see them de-
part would be quite too mild. There
were hosts of friends at the depot and

ached, as the train steamed out of the
depot.

PRESIDENT HARRISON and party
having gone down the bay for a ride,
the democratic press are little dis
.gruntled because the fact is not
stated whether it was a government
vessel or private steamer. If it turns
out to be government vessel the de-
mocracy will find fault at so employ
ing the American navy. If private
vessel, they will keel haul him for
paying out money needlessly and
characterize the whole thing as bun
comb. Hard steering between the
reefs of democracy and the shadows
of mugwumpery. President Harrison
happily for himself and the country,
seems to be running on his own judy
ment and not according to the fool
charts laid down by those whose only
salvation politically consists in his
making shipwreck of the old Union
ship.

Another Industry,

There is proposed to establish an ink, blue
ing and backing factory in this city, making
the winns-Mortz dry process copying ink the
main staple and it said his will be done if 30
or 40 citizens will each advance 800, secured
upon the cOmpanys stock and repayable with
out interest n five years. Several prominent
citizens have accepted the proposal and it is
hoped that the remainder of the money will
be secured, as Dallas and Fort Worth are
writing and trying to arrange terms. There is
no ink manufactory in the south. and as this
company has novel INK, it alone controls,
there seems to be no question that 1t would
have big ted, and meet with good success.
