M'CALLA INQUIRY.
A Number OF Witnesses Relate incidents on
Board the Enterprise.

Number OF Witnesses Relate Incidents on
Board the Enterprise.
New YORK, March l4.-This was the
fourth day of the taking of testimony IN
the McCalIa inquiry. Michael Gallagher,
first sergeant of marines on the Enter
prise, told what he knew about punish
ment on the vessel. At Oran, Africa
in April, 1888, three men took cata-
maran and went on shore without leave.
They were ironed together with two sets
of handirons. At Croustadt, Rus
sia, some drunken men had to
be brought aboard. Their hands
and feet were ironed together becaus
the sentry could not be responsible for so
many men separately irOned. They
were ironed together at night, but sep
arated during the daytime. Under cross
examination the sergeant said that most
of the trouble on board the Enterprise
was occasioned by the tough gang of
which WalkerEas one of the toughest.
The reason some Of the crew were ironed
with their hands behind their backs was
because they generally broke the irons
when their hands were secured in front
of them. The witness said it was COM
mon occuTTen &c for the crew TO drop the
irons overheard.
Sergeant Alfred II. Monroe related the
Walker incident in characteristic Ian
guage. He said he thought Walker was
in double irons when struck, and after
wards he was gagged with bayonet and
cold water thrown over him. He used
bad language, would not stop it, and the
captain struck him.
-, Io
mony of the other witnesses relating to
the Walker affair. and narrated the
story of his own confinement for jumping
the ship.

Francis Dean, Private Samuel Curry,
Corporal William .. Cook, Master-at-
Arms John Brooks, Quartermaster Hand
aud Gustave Johnson. Their testimony

nesses. The taking of testimony will be

THE decision in the United States
supreme court in the case involving the
waterworks at Galesburg, Ill. is inter =
esting. The facts are these: Certain
parties contracted to build new works, to
buy the maius, etc. and to supply the
city. The works were accepted by the
city, with special commentator from the
officers, whereupon the company issued
and sold bonds. Later, the service
proving unsatisfactory, the city annuIled
the franchise and took possession of its
former property. Then the holders of
the bonds, on default of the interest,
bought the property of the company and
by law undertook to get possession of the
mains and provide a supply of water.
Judge Gresham of the United States cir
cult court gave a decision in 1888 in favor
Of the city, holding that no subsequent
party could acquire other rights than
those originally possessed by the COM
pany, and that those were forfeited by
non fuIfillment of contract And now
the supreme court has sustained the
decision, affirming the right of the city
TO cancel the contract, and declaring its
entire freedom from responsibility in re-
gard to the bonds.

TIE SPRING PALACE

Coleman Voice: The chief drawback
that Coleman experienced last year was
delay in an effort to organize. Every
thing was put off to the last moment.
''Time enough knocked US out Of any
kind of preparation. Now the papers
all over the state are telling us that
Spring Palace associations are being
organized and working committees ap-
pointed. In many counties the ladies
have already gone to work preparing
decorations and soliciting subscrip-
lions. In this latter duty they are
pre-eminent. The ladies of Coleman
can gather more subscriptions in a week
than the gentlemen can in three months.
Now we suggest that those favoring q
representation of our resources at the
Palace meet at an early day and that all
the ladies of Coleman be invited to take
part in that meeting, and that we
try now and at once to make the thing q
success.
With the little preparation made last
year we succeeded beyond our most
sanguine expectations. 1t is in our
power now to excel if we make due effort
and make it in time.

TENNESSEE COAL AND IRON.
This Stock Attracts Considerable Attention on
Wall Stree:-RumOred Rupture in Con-
sequence of a Suit Denied.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
New YORK. March 14.-Tennessee coal and
iron stock attra cted considerable attention this
morning by repeating some of its recent per
formances. 1t closed yesterday afternoon at
81 and shortly after the ope ning sold at Acc,
subsequently recovering about 2 points. The
street had it that the break was due to the rup-
ture of negotiations, which, it was announced,
had terminated sometime ago in the settlement
of the company's suit against John H. Inman,
in which return of 81, 250, 900 on
account OF a sale of Birmingham prop
erty was demanded. This, however, seems
called on Thomas C. Platt. president of the
company, this morning and asked him relative
10 the rumor. He said there was no foundation
for the story, and he believed the decline was
due entirely to speculative manipulation. There
F were certainly no developments concerning the
company which justified the decline He also
added that the reported negotiations for the
consolidation of the Tennessee coal and iron
company the Southern iron company and the
Bardelleben coal and iron company were I'M
founded.
The reporter then called on John Inman, and
he confirmed Mr.. Plates statement. He
showed the reporter an agreement entered in
the United States circuit court for the southern
district of New York, between the Tennessee
coal and iron company and himself, for the ter
miDation Of suit in which compliments say
they have satisfied themselves that the infor-
nation which was assumed and relied
that there is no liability by reason
of the matters stated in the complaint on the
part of defendant and his associates Mr..
Inman added that the story that the agreement
had been violated was without truth, and that
the utmost harmony prevailed among those in
terested in the company. He attributed the de-
cline of this morning to the selling out of the
holdings of some weak investors in the South.

A TOWN FLOODED.
Newport, Ark, Two Feet Under water-Busi'
ness SuspeDded-Seventy- Five Thousand
Acres Cultivated Land Submerged.

MEMPHIS, TENN, March 1.-THE river rose
one-tenth to-day, and is now 1914 on the gauge,
the highest point ever recorded, and is still rs-
ing. The steamer Emma Ethridge arrived al
noon from Paducah, and after loading with
lumber, sacks and supplies, left for the threat
ened district below the Arkansas river, in
charge of engineer Sears. The consensus Of
opinion here, is that the levees on
the tn Mississippi side VII III be ee able
The splendid equipment OF the Mississippi VAL
ley railroad is Contributing in material degree
to the preservation of levees in the Yazoo delta.
Nothing is being left undone by the railroad to
maintain the leyees and prevent disaster.
special to the Appeal from Newport, Ark,
says: ''Rivers commenced running over the
levees at 10 O'Clock last night, and the whole
town except Front street is now four inches to
two feet under water. Business is entirely sus-
pended. The White and Black rivers com
menced falling this afternoon, and it is
hoped the worst is over. The damage to
trough country containing 5000 acres
of cultivated land is now under water
from SIX inches TO two feet. The rise was sud
den and without warning. Fences and every
thing movable are gone. The country south OF
Newport, which embraces some of the finest
farms in the state, is also inundated. The loss
in Newport is very heavy, regardless of the loss
of business
A Helena special to the Appeal says: The river
rose two inches during the last twenty-fou
hours, and is now four feet below high water
mark. Mr.. j. B. Miles, an authority on river
matters, says: THE present indications are
that the river will go TO or over high water of
1SS6-forty EIGHT feet, inch-at this place,
and will probably be at least one foot above that
ct Friar Point, Miss
Below the old town the water will be but little
above 1885. The Arkansas river is now more
than twenty inches higher than ever known, and
the leeves on the Arkansas side will have to
give way when the fall reaches New Orleans.
Many Will suppose the danger is over, but the
overflow into the Tensas swamp will
return at the mouth of the Red river
in two or three weeks and with the additional
water here will raise below Baton Rouge until
there are one or more crevasses. The east side
of the river must be held until the west side
gives way
government engineer who has just examined
the levees around Helena, says they can stand
seven feet more of water without fear of being
overfoWed.

SPECULATIVE.
The Backbone of the Money Scare
Has Been Practically Broken.
The LOnged For Upward Movement Still Holds
Of-YanderbiIts the Feature Of the
Day-The Market Stiff
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
New YORK, March 14.-secretary Window
continues to purchase government per cents on
large scale. Yesterdays acceptanCes included
nearly 81. OOO 600 of As and over $3.50, 900 of Az
The government deposits in the national banks
show q corresponding decrease and the treasury
available balance is down to S27, 800 ,592.
No more can be asked of Mr.. Window just now
by the most blatent of alarmlsts than q
continuation Of his present course. All in
dications of a light money market have
disappeared from the horizon. Money seems to
be plenty enough for present needs. In view Of
the demands on the treasury during the next
few weeks some temporary stringenCy of rates is
possible, but the backbone of the money scare
seems to have been practically broken. Still the
long-looked for upward movement does not
come. Yesterday mornings spnrt was more
d1scouraglng 10 the advocates OF higher prices
than decline would have been, because it
seemed to them to indicate the market
could not boom when it wanted to. They claim,
however, that the boom came on them too sud
denly, and intimate that soon we shall see an
organized bull movement which will not hat out
after five minutes of life.
Prices were strong in the early trading, with
New England notably prominent at an advance
of per cent. Tennessee coal, however, was
very weak on the unearthlng of stop orders and
lack of support, opening at y decline OF per
cent, and further drop of 5l4 per cent. was
quickly recorded. Sugar trusts also developed
considerable weakness and declined ia.
The Vanderbilt stocks were the features of the
day, New York Central and Lake Shore espe-
cially were extensively dealt in. Both sho6ed
material advances. The Central has risen
points since day before yesterday. There is such
a strong and increasing demand for Vanderbilts
for investment purposes that even a slight in
crease in buying orders serves to run the price
up very materially. An interesting feature of
the demand for them is that this country appre-
ciates highly the security of these st cks that
it is gradually absorbing them from Europe.
When the Vanderbilts are strong the rest of
the list cannot long remain weak and prices
which had fallen after the opening stiffened
again. Reading notable in the advance.
The excitement in speculative circles conse-
quent the purchase of Burlington and
Northern by the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy as begun to subSide with reaction in
the leading stocks. The benefits TO be derived
are no doubt large in the future, but these
recent rapid advances have to certain extent

A SERIOUS WRECK.
A Passenger Train Strikes a Huge Boulder
and is Hurled from the Traek-One
Killed; Several Injured.

NEWARK, OHIO, March 4.-This morning a
wreck occurred at Blackhand on the Central
Ohio division CT the Baltimore and Ohio. One
man was killed outright, and two were danger
ously and FIVE slightly injured. A large rock
had rolled on the track two miles west of the
point named. The fast Chicago vestibule train due
here at 1890 struck the rock, which was half as
large as a passenger coach. The train in
charge of Engineer John Moore and Conductor
Raymond. At the place where the accident &C.
CURED there is high hill on one side of the
road and the river flows on the other. The
train was making forty miles per hour when the
engine struck the rock. In an instant an
awful scene ensued. The engine dumped
completely around and thrown into the water,
while the baggage, mail, smoker, frst-clsss
coach and sleeper were all detached, the trucks
being knocked out from under them.
There were about one hundred pas
sengers on board. The accident was an
exceptionally fortunate one in its results, con-
sidering the speed of the train and weight of the
obstruction. Only a few minutes before the
accident Waterman passed the place and met
the train and signalled ''all was clear
not knowing the heavy rain had loosened
an enormous boulder, and it was even tumbling
down to the track. Engineer John Moore, no
doubt the boulder as he rounded the curve,
but reversed his engine too late to be of any nse,
except perhaps to weaken the crash.

New YORK, March H.-Insinuatfons made
yesterday that the sale of J. B. Haggin's Cali
fornia trotting stock begun in the morning was,
so far as the highest prices bid were concerned,
a fictitious one. and brought out a reply this
morning from Easton,. the auctioneer, before
the sale was continued. Mr.. Easton de-
clared that the charge. to the best OF
his knowledge and belief, was unfounded.

THE PHILADELPHIA Record has done a

MRS. TONY HART.
Celebrated Actress Passes Away in a New
York Hospital-scsnes at the Deathbed.

YORK H0Sp1tal-Scenes at the DeathDed.
Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, March H.-Mrs, Tony Hart, wife
of the once celebrated partner of Edward Harri-
gan, has passed away from the arena of life as
well as from that mimic stage whose office it is
to hold a mirror up to nature. Mrs. Hart, whose
stage name was Gertie Granville, died in the
Roosevelt hospital last night at O'Clock. She
entered the institution six weeks ago, suffering
from peritonitis in an advanced and dangerous
form, Last Monday her physicians decided
their patient must undergo an operation which
should be decisive, one way or the other.
Chances were about evenly distributed. Mrs.
Hart was informed of the gravity of
the situation, and braTeiy prepared to
a few friends to her bedside, she babe them
conditional goodbye. She sent for Father
Wyman, of Paulist fathers, and from him re-
ceived such spiritual consolation and encourage
ment that she no longer feared death, but
almost wished it. Nor is this surprising, for
during three years Gertie Granyille's
tribulation has been enough to break
tion was performed and Mrs. Hart survived
it only to learn that all hope OF life was gone.
Her fortitude became phenomenal. According
to DR.. G. w. Garnum, the poor woman smiled
in spite of the most excruciating bodily torture,
and thus smili ng, fell into profound sleep from
which she never awakened.
The most sorrowful witness of the death scene
Forty-eighth street. The dying woman did not
recognize him. During her last moments Mrs.
Hart murmured the name of her unfortunate
husband. His misfortune had long preyed upon
her mind, and she constantly felt that unjust
reflections had been cast upon her through
yelled intimation, that she had been more of
help than an injury to him.
There is a supremacy placid expression on
had caught some of that perfect felicity denied
her in life.

IN a speech made by Dudley Field be-
fore the Massachusetts reform club st a
dinner at the Parker house, the speaker
advocated plan by which every voter
should at his registration indicate his
choice of candidate. This would abro-
gate the present primaries, as every
voter would assist in the nomination. He
further favored compulsory voting
Many of the ballot reform schemes may
seem impraotioable, but it is significant
fact that attention is being called to this
subject in so many parts of the Union.
