FOR SAMOAN WATERS.

The Vessels that Win Probably Replace
Those Recently Lost by the Samoan
Tvph"On The Richmond. Alert and
Adams Decided Upon-Their Character
AMI Armaments and the Men Who Com
mani Tham.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-The three yes.
sells that will take the places of the Amer
lean war-ships that were DESTROYED at
Apla, do not compare in size, speed and
strength with the latter. The Richmond
Is the largest of the ships that will be
sent to the islands. She was built at Nor
folk by tie Government in 1858. Her dis
placement is 2,700 tons. While her speed
is set down as 9.5 knots per hour, it is
probable that she will not realize that
rate. Her batteries consist of twelve g.
inch smooth guns; one S-inch muz-
zle-loading rife; one 60 pound breech-
loader rife; two 90 pound breech loading
rifles; four rifed cannon; one 3-inch
breech-loading rife; one Gatling and
two 12-pound smooth bore rifles. She
carries 125 tons of coal and has compile
ment OF twenty-nine officers and 821 men.
She is ccmniaTo cd.by Captain Allen v.
Reed.
The Alert l,'-.nmanded by Commander
James D. Graham. She is one of John
Roach's ships, and was built by him at
Chester. Pa, between 1873 and 1875. Her
rig is that Of bark; her length It's feet,
and she has displacement of 1,a21 tons.
Her speed is estimated at ten knots an
hour, and her indicated horsepower is
365 Her battery consists of one 11-inch
smooth-bore gun; two 9-inch smooth
bores: one 60-pouud breech- loading rife /;
one 3-inch breech-loading rife; one p
pound smooth-bore howitzer; one G t.
ling and two rif1ed cannon. She carries
133 tons Of coal, and has twelve officers
and ia men.
The detail of officers for the Adams has
not yet been made, and the detail clerks
OF the Navy Department are busily en-
gagged in selecting the men. A number of
sh1pwrecked blue Jackets from the ILL
fated vessels will probably compose part
of her crew. The Adams is O wooden
vessel Of the third rate. She was built
between 1874 and 1875, at Boston. by Nc
Kay and the Government. She is 1S5 feet
long, and draws IA feet. Her displace-
ment Is 1875 tous. Her indicated horse
power IS $50, and her speed 9.8 knots per
hour. The Adams carries twenty officers
and 116 men. Her armament is composed
Of four 9-inch smooth bores, one S-inch
muzze loading rifle. one 60-pound muz-
zle- loading rife, one 3-inch breech-load-
ing rife, ten 12-pound smooth bore how
itzers, six riied cannon and one Gatling
gun.
The loss of the Trenton and the Van
dalla will, it is expected. be followed by a
long and circumstantial report from Rear
Admiral Kimberly, which will undoubt-
| edly make clear all the details Of the
storm and wreck about which there Is
just now great deal of conjecture.

BALTIMORE, Md, April 2.-The SUMS

One OF the most disastrous accidents that
has occurred on the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad for long time was reported
from Cameron, Marshal County, at an early

of the bridge at half-past two O'Clock.
The engineer. Dominick Kelly, saw tha
the bridge was in flames. Efforts to chec
the train being hopeless, Kelly put on al
steam in the hope of dashing acros-
His engine reached the other side
in safety, but just as it did so the bridge
collapsed. and the train was piled up in
the bed of the stream, where the wreck
caught fire and was consumed. Kelly
and his fireman, John Chaddock, were un-
injured. Brakeman Bud Wey was severe

three tramps had taken up their quarter,
and went down with the wreck. One #
them was rescued, but the other two were
roasted to death, being pinned down in
the car by freight and timbers in such a
way as to maze their rescue impossible.
Their names are unknown, but they be-

Brute Humanity.

unclaimed or uncollared i'll the city or sub
urbs. Men were employed for this purpose.
and they generally carried q snort stick,
which they flung at the poor prescribed an
imal with such certain aim as either to kill,
or main it mortally, at one blow.
1t happened one day that, close to the edge
of the river, near the Ferdinand's -Brucke,
one Of these men flung his stick at a
wretched dog, but with such bad aim that
it fell into the river. The poor animal, fol
lowing his instinct, or his teaching, lmmedi-
ately plunged in. redeemed the stick, and
laid it at the feet Of its owner, who, snatch
ing it up, dashed out the creatures brains

would have done to such man from the
fact that they banished the Judge Of the
