A GREAT NAN GONE.
John Ericsson, Who Saved Our Navy
il '62. is BEAD.
He INVENTED THE MONITOR
His Marvellous Mechanical Genius Twice
Reyolutionized the Navles OF the World.
His Latest Creation. the sun Mo-
tor. Is Not Yet Completed.

NEW YORK, March 9-JoEm Ericsson is
dead.
The venerable and great inventor passed
away at his home No 50 Beach street, where
for generation he has lived almost the life
Of hermit He was IN the eighty-sixth year
of his age, and death resulted from cystitis,
after a short illness
Last July, on the attainment of his eighty
fifth year, he was specially honored by visit
from the representative of the king of Swe-
den, who sent him token of marked appre-
citation of his genius. Although many friends
drove up in their carriages 10 his residence on
that day TO tender their congratulations, he
would personally receive no one except the
kings representative. A serenade by Swedes
on the evening of July 81 pleased him very
much; but, although he was present behind
the closed shades Of an upper window, he
could not be induced to show himself
He was an active man up to a few days ago
One of the excuses he gave for not receiving
visitors last July was that he was ''too busy,
as he had not yet completed his life work -.
Ii is on his invention of the Monitor" a
turreted vessel which met and defeated the
rebel ironclad ram Merrimac and saved the
United States navy from destruction in 1862,
that his fame now chiefly rests in this coun-
try. This invention, which was completed in
100 days, revolutonizsd the war vessels of
the whole world, land today turreted ships,
with a few heayy9 cannon have taken the
place of the old fashioned floating castles
with their sides bristling with guns. This
made Ericsson's name famous all over the
world in n way that no other invention could
possibly have done.
John Ericsson was born in Werneland
Sweden ON July 81, 1893. When II years of

that locomot.on is becoming more difficult as
he grows older He has for years suffered
discomfort in his back, caused by a fall, and
his limbs are losing in elasticity. As to his
mental faculties, they are as clear as bell,
and his memory borders ON the marvellous. 1t
gives him great satisfaction TO entertain the
many friends who cail on him at his old home

life, and he possesses in a notable degree the
faculty of telling stories only Of interest.

DIR. CARVERs GREAT RECORD.
The Greatest Exhibition of Marks
manehip Eyer Seen.


From the NeiO York Times.
MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 30.-The greatest
craftsmanship on record was made at $50
o'clock this morning when DR.. Carver was
gladdened by the score of 10000 hits out of
60,670 shots. There were but few curious
spectators present when the doctor finished
the hardest thing he ever tackled. He
looked pretty tough when the last Win
chester was uuloaded. His eyes were red,
aud he hardly looked like the man who
opened fire at wooden balls at 10 o'clock
last Monday morning. The 60,670 cart
,idges which he shot weighed $50 pounds.
1t was q curious score that was presented
at the Washington rink last night as DR..
Carver'S great task began to draw to
close, and it seemed assured that he would
complete his required CO., 600 targets before
morning broke. AT l2 o'clock the score
gave him credit for SIS, 700 targets. At that
hour few spectators who had maintained
interest enough in the shoot to see it out
still stood leaning over the railing front of
toe stand, where the marksman was Stand
ing in one corner, away from the rest of
the spectators, deputy sheriff was resting
his arms upon the rail and keeping a sharp
lookout for the guns that the d ctor was
using, to see that none OF them got away.
In his pocket he carried the papers in an
attachment suit IN which george ID. Clln-
quet was complainant The suit was for
$s7 7S. This was the second attachment
levied on these same guns. The first sum
was paid, but this time DR.. Carver said he
knew nothing about it, had never heard Of
George D. Clinquet, aud, in short, refused
to pay it.
1t is probable that there would have been
trouble if Mayor Ames had not at that mo-
ment appeared and declared that he would
be personally responsible for the guns, and
the shoot was allowed to continue. 1t is
said that these attachments were instigated
by certain gamblers who had bet on the
wrong side and did not want TO see the
match flashed Though his arm panied
him terribly there was not shadow on the
face Of the doctor. At IL o'clock the bat
terry was applied to his arm once more.
Previously DR.. Towers had given him
hypodermic injection Of morphine to soothe
the pain. The DOCTORS eyes were bloodshot,
though his face was resolute and he com
planned considerably of the lights. ut is
wonderful" remarked DR.. Towers this
evening, chow he bears up That man has
an indomitable will power or he would
have broken down before this"

ON RAIL AND CRossTIE.
Local and General Gossip in Railway
Circles.

Train Master Norman said last night that
the question of putting on a regular line of
seepers from Savannah to Birmingham,
via Macon, is being discussed. The sleepers
will probably be put on this week.
Two new engines for the Alabama Mid
land railway, while being carried over the
South western railroad to Montgomery, were
considerably dam ged Monday in collision
between two freight trains near Fort
Valley.
Mr.. John Immen has accepted the posi-
ton of chief commissary for the construc-
ton force which will build the Alabama
Midland extension from cambridge to
Montgomery, and will make his headquar
ters at Bainbridge while the work is in
progress. His familiar face will be missed
by his many downtown friends, who wish
him success in his new field of operations.
In connection with the extension of the
New York, Philadelphia and Norfolk rail-
road toward the south beyond the Chesa-
paake, the Philadelphia Record learns that
line is projected to extend from Suffolk, a
little west of Norfolk to the southwest Of
GAINESVILLE, the northern terminus of the
GAINESVILLE and Washington railroad. An
other line is projected to extend from Wash
ington westward to Goldsboro, on the
Wilmington and Weldon. In this way
Wilmington and points south will be
reached. In making these connections the
New York, Philadelphia and Norfolk rail
road, which is practically the Pennsyl-
vania, will make itself independent of the
Seaboard and Roanoke railroad, now its
southern feeder and really its opponent.
ere has been another resignation in the
Central railroad clerical department, and
the outgoing employe was the recipient yes
terday of handsome present Mr.. j. w.
Preston, chief clerk in the general freight
and claim department., resigned few days
ago to accept a position as superintendent
and manager of the Stillwell, Millen ~ Co
mills at Barlow, Ga. Mr.. Preston has been
connected with the Central railroad Tor
several years, and was very popular among
the employees who were under him. He
turned over the Office yesterday, but before
leaving for his new home, the employees in
his department invited him into their office,
and Mr.. 7. b. Catherwood, claim clerk,
presented him a handsome souvenir. 1t is
is handsome set of carvers, of triple re-
refined steel, with beautifully orna-
mented handles. The set was
in pretty plush case. Mr.
Preston, although taken unawares, acquitted
cepted the gift and wished for his friends q
happy New Year. Mr.. T. B. Marshall,
formerly private secretary to Maj. 6. A.
Whitehead, was appointed yesterday to fill
the vacancy caused by the resignation of
Mr.. Preston. 1t is quite responsible posi-
| ton, being virtually assistant general
freight agent, and Mr.. Marshall received the
appoin ment over the heads Of a score of
applicants, who have been connected
with the road quite as long as the APP
pointee. Mr.. Marshall. however, is an
efficient employe and is himself very popu-
| lar amo the railroad men, and merits the
position he has been given.

The most unique tea gown seen this win
ter is worn by quite young girl. 1t has
an accordion plated skirt of white wool,
over which comes half long tea coat made
in genuine Louis Quatorze fashion, sloping
away to show an embroidered waiStcoat, both
coat and waistcoat being of leather. The
soft ooze calf, viii ch is the shoemakers' pres
ent favorite, is the material and it is beaded
and stitched with silk to make very grand
garment.
The violin gown is one Of the tea gown
latest rivals So many young women have
set themselves to practiciug with the bow
that the violin gown is the attire in which
these musical aspirants are most likely TO
be found of an afternoon. The violin gown
most often is of creamy primrose color,
the tint which contrasts most splendidly
with the dark red of the polished wood A
pale yellow silk skirt held by a sash of crepe
with fringed ends, TIED to hang low in front,
a round waist with lace sleeves in soft puffs
about the arms and coming only to the
elbows, forms the basis of the violin gown
last seen. Clusters Of deep red artificial
roses delicately perfumed were fastened in
the draperies, and large opal glowed from
a bracelet on the wrist The opal is the
jewel most frequently worn with the violin
gown When the violin is under the chin
and the bow is held high, and the first STAG
cato notes begin, then the opal is in its
glory.
OF truth these are the DAYS of the house
dress in all its varieties The tea gown
does not squeak. 1t does not remind one
at every movement of the armor over which
it is drawn. Indeed. with its soft Turkish
waist the armor can be dispensed with,
hence no robe was ever devised for woman
more artistic than tea gown. Long NAV

OF white MORE, the sleeves being also OF
this material. Gray velvet slippers finished
with white bows and two snow white hum
ming birds for the hair are the accessories
of this dainty white house robe.
One of the most beautiful of the new i'm
ported tea gowns belongs to Mrs. Frank Les
lie. 1t is of Dubarry pink brocade-a kind
of modified salmon-fgured in dark red,
and is long and full in the back, with hang
ing sleeves. The front is gathered mass
of salmon-colored surah, caught at the
waist by an inside sash of red silk with
figured and embroidered ends
Kitty Cheatham, the pretty actress, has a
tea gown of the softest. dull white silk, in
her home, not her theatrical wardrobe
About the hem Of the plain skirt runs
wide border of black fur. broad collar
of fur is drawn about the neck and there Is
more at the wrists, whitening the neck and
hands like black velvet.
Mira. Langtry, who pays quite as much
attention to gowns to wear at home as to
gowns for the stage, has just had made from
her own design very fetching tea gown.
1t has a petticoat of the pa est gold camel's
hair, a real India fabric fiuer and more
costly than most silks. Above this skirt
comes blouse Of soft gold surah, with a
girdle in green velvet laced with gold cords,
Over the blouse is worn square-fronted
Russian tea jacket Of green velvet, finished
at The edges with gold cord and fastened
with large gold buttons. From the waist
hangs a green velvet pocket attached by a
gold chain and from the pocket peeps lace
handkerchief. The skirt is demi-trained be-
hind, but short enough in front to allow a
peep at green velvet slippers with high
gilded heels, and some faint suspicion Of
green stockings clicked with gold

smart indeed. One was rich soft-pied

qulsite in fit, quite loose and easy, yet de-

deep border of hand embroidery, black on
black, about the bottom. It had loose

wrist was confined by peasant bodice Of
black velvet laced with black cords. The
loose full sleeves were gathered into velvet
cuffs.

circled by broad sash of liberty silk Of
Pdle gold. The second gold and white COM
I-HatIon was Of amber velvet, the color
tIelug rather subdued than bright. The
