SAN LoRENzA'S RIDE.


"I'm now coming to the most curious
incident Of that terrible night" con-
tinued the cap'n. Before the trouble
the harbor was clear, but now an island
mountain 400 feet high rears its head
near the northern shore Of the harbor.
A lighthouse graces the top of the
island, which is down on the map as
San Lorenza, and one of the prettiest
and most romantic of the many Peru
vian legends is told in connection with
the naming of the island. 1t was named
after San Lorenza, the man who discov-
cred the mountain, and is an intensely
interesting story when told in Spanish.

ish I'll tell it in English.
"AIr. Lorenza. or San, as they called
him for short. was fisherman. and went
out to sea every night in his frail Peru
vian bark TO fish for hake and haddock.
The native fisherman has light skiff or
canoe in which he plies his calling and
one paddle. He sits on his knees in the
stern Of the boat and fishes with line
200 feet long. using his front finger for q
pole. On the fatal night of Oct. % San
had just got bite when he heard the
ominous rumble. Before he could either
land the fish or grab his paddle he felt
himself going up in the air. It was So
dark that San couldn't see anything, SO
he clutched both gunwales of his boat
and hung on. Presently there came an.
other jerk, and the fisherman went up q
few more feet
"The unhappy man was too frightened
to move, SO he sat there, g0ing up by
jerks, until daylight. Then San peered
over the edge Of his boat and found him
self sticking on top of a mountain 100
feet IN the air. The peak was SO sharp
that it pierced the bottom of l;s boat and
stuck up four feet above Sans head. He
still hung on to his fish line, which had
d horse mackerel dangling from the hook.

ROME. GA, June 19.-Hardy Hamilton,
who, in February last, murdered Joe Lee,
Chinaman, and was convicted of murder,
was hanged here to-day. At exactly IL

top OF their voices. Some tainted. On ar
irving at the scaffold at 1:30 o'clock,
the prisoner was led up the
steps by Deputy Moore. There were
ON the stand two ministers Of the gospel
two reporters. and the county officers. One
OF the ministers prayed, sang a hymn,
prayed and sang a second time, and then
Hamilton made short talk, announcing
that he was ready to go. AT 1880 o'clock
the cap was placed on the prisoners head
and he stood on the trap. At 1888 o'clock
the trap was sprung. Hamilton's neck was
not broken. he died from strangulation.
He was left hanging twenty five
minutes. The crowd in town
was estimated at between 10000
and $4,000. The order of the day was ex-
cellent. Not a single arrest was made.
Hamilton's crime consisted in murderously
assaulting two Cinnamon in their laundry
for the purpose of robbery. One of the
Mongolians died, but the other recovered.

The Judges Decision in the Cook

CHICAGO, ILL, June 19.-Judge Prem
dergast this morning announced his de-
cision of his investigation into the Cook
county insane asylum. The investigation
was based on an appeal for the release of
Dora Willard from the asylum. This mat
ter the judge first disposed of by issuing an
order committing the patient to the STATE
infirmatory at Kankakee. The decision is
long one, but its central idea is explained
in the judges reference to the polit-
ical influences which were allowed to
control Cook county The institution, he
says, must be removed from the influences
of partisanship. In order that the sweet
waters of charity may not be polluted by
politics, the judge recommends that the
asylum be removed from its present site,
and that special session of the state legis-
lature be called to attend to the matter.

RESCUE OF THE MIDDIES.
THE CONSTELLATION PULLED
FROM HER ROCKY BED.

The Feat Accomplished Shortly After
Noon-The Vessel Would Have Been
a Wreck But for the Lucky Abate-
ment of the Storm-The Middies as
Cool as Old Salts.
NORFOLK, VA, June 19.-The United
States practice ship Constellation, which
left Annapolis, Nd, for her summer cruise
and stranded in the Chesapeake bay. near
Cape Henry, yesterday afternoon, arrived
at the Norfolk navy yard this evening at z
o'clock. AT daylight this morning the
wrecking steamer Victoria ]. Peed, which
had gone from Norfolk to the rescue Of the
Constellation, laid anchor and cables from
the vessel and made all the necessary prepa-
rations for hauling when the tide served.
SAVED BY a STRONG PULL.
The opportune moment arrived at 1920
o'clock this afternoon when, with strong
pull on her hawser, the big ship was drawn
from her sandy bed and into deep water.
The work of saving the ship was watched
with keen interest by number of people
who had gone down to the scene of the ac-
cident, and when the Constellation glided
into deep water a hearty cheer went up
from the shore. She was at once taken in
tow for Norfolk, and as she came up the
harbor this afternoon she was greeted bv
the waving of handkerchiefs and cheers
from the crowds who had gathered to well
come her.
A NARROW ESCAPE.
It was a narrow escape, for if the storm
of yesterday afternoon had not calmed to q
gentle breeze during the early part of the
night, the ship would now be wreck. All
on board are we'll, and there are no thrill
ing experiences of adventure to relate. The
cadets, however, have had a lesson in sea-
manship and foretaste of what a sailors
life means. 1t was during dense fog when
the ship grounded. The officers knew, of
course, about where they were, and felt lit
tie apprehension.
GOODNESS OF THE MIDDIEs.
There was no excitement whatever on
shipboard. Orders were given and obeyed
with GOODNESS and promptness, andsthe mid
dies conducted themselves with the presence
of mind and courage of veteran sailors.
The Constellation was making for Lynn
Haven, small sheet of water a mile or
two from the place she stranded, and the
accident seems to have been owing to the
dense fog and absence aboard of a local
pilot, which government ships are not al
lowed to employ.
NOT SERIOUSLY INJURED.
WASHINGTON. June 19.-The following
was received at the naval demartment this
morning from Capt. Harrington of the
Constellation:
The Constellation went ashore yesterday off
Cape Henry light in a fog. She is now af1oat,
and the injury is not serious. She must dock
and will proceed to the navy yard to-day. All

The Contractors on the Charleston
Appeal to the Government.
WASHINGTON, June 19.-The Union Iron
works of San Francisco, which is building
the cruiser Charleston, has made applica-
uonto the Secretary Of the Navy for an
extension of four months in the time al
lowed by the contract for the completion of
the vessel. The application is based upon a
statement that the plans for the vessel,
which were purchased by the navy depart
fective. In the case of the machinery, it is
alleged that the principal defect developed
IN the last trial trip and that the error
which prevented Its success was one of de-
sign, for which the contractors were not
responsible
