NOT PROPERLY MANNED.
Why the Petrol Is Said to Have Failed
at Her Trial.

The third trial trip OF the new gun boat Pc
srel, built at Baltimore for the government
probably resulted in another failure to comply
with the contract requirements. The official
report has not yet been sent in to the depart
ment, but from unofficial sources it has been
learned pretty definitely that the board will not
recommend the acceptance Of the vessel on the
result Of this trial The reason il, az before,
that abe was not properly handled on her run,
hands being put into her engine and fire rooms
who were unfamiliar with the kind Of ma
chinery which she carries, and there is an in
definite proposition in the minds Of some Of
fclals to place on her trained crew from the
Alliance, now at Norfolk. which is like the
Petrol in her machinery. and let them run the
Vessel to her highest powers. 1t is believed
that with such a crew she could develop over
i-50o horse power. For the first hour of the
trial trip the Petrol developed an average of
800 horse power. 200 more than required by
the contract and during the second hour she
increased this to 1.40O. After this. however
her speed began to decrease and her horse
power became considerably lessened, so much
90 that her average for the trip may be put be-
low ths ], 100 contract power required

those first called, and the District attorney
viii endeavor to have the case placed ON trial

embezzlement, for which offenss they were
subsequently indicted Messrs. w. D. Davidge
and Linden Kent are their attorneys aud they
filed motion to quash the indictment, which
on May Is, 1885 was overruled. No proceedings
have since been taken. Since the Middletons
were indicted Mr.. D. W. Middleton has re.
manned most Of the time in the city, but 8, T..
Middleton has lived most Of the time since in
Minnesota. 1t is stated ut the district attor-

to the court what they said. All Toi, another
New York Celestial, took part In the proceed
ing.
The accused being members Of the North
Congregational church Sunday school, sought
to show that the game they were playing and
which the police called . gambling game was
simply religious one and had no features Of
chance. The ladies OF the church who had
acted - teachers to the accused we're present in

which . supper was at stake. Being religiously
inclined Cinnamon, ne said, the game was IN
terspersed with prayers for success, and one Of
the players was in the midst Of . fervent invo-
cation when the police broke the game up.
The players were seated around Q table, upon
the center Of which reposed wooden box into
which each player cast his specie Cards we're
then dealt, and after brief prayer by one Of
the number, who ives chosen BY lot TO offer it,
the game proceeded. just how the stakes were
won and lost, and what relation the cash put
up bore 10 . prospective supper was not clear.
The defense was both ingenious and pathetic.
The court could not solve the game az described,
but after listening over two hours came TO the

amounting 70 fully e1oo, was promptly paid.
