FOR A NEW NAVY.
The Construction Of Many lew War
Vessels Will be Recommended.

The Construction Of Many N ew War
Vessels viii be Recommended.
WASHINGTON, Spccial.-Thc naval board
of policy appointed to formulate plan for
the building ofa navy commensurate with
the dignity and power of the nation, in
their report to the secretary of the navy,
will recommend the construction of ninety
two vessels ofdifferent tyycs and sizes. These
will be built, according to the plan of the
board, in fourteen years, and will cost, to-
gethcr with their maintenance during the
fourteen years, $3.50, 10000. They say that
the cost of maintenance OF fleet of vessels
such as they propose would be only one
quarter that of keeping up the same num-
Der Of old style vessels. The scheme of the
board comprises the following vessels, the
estimated cost of which, with the arma-
ment complete, is appended:
Ten battle ships of 10000 tons, 5000, 900
each; eight Of Of 5000 tons, $5,oO,0O each;
5000 tons $3, ,tiOO OOO each, ten rams of 8, 500
tons, 81, 100000 each; nine armorcd cruisers
Of 6, $50 tons, to make 10 knots an hour, s.
10000 each; four protected cruisers of Z, 400
tons, to make ~ knots an hour, $500, 600
each; nine protected cruisers Of s. 400 tons,
to make 20 knots an hour, $500, 900 each;
- knots an hour, $205O, 900 each; five sp.-
cial cruisers Of 200 tons, to make 18 knots,
$500, 600 each; fifteen torpedo cruisers of9O0
tons, to make 22 knots an hour, $500, 90
each; three artifcers' ships, 5000. 600 each.
The eight ships which Secretary Tracy
recommends in his report shall be begun at
once, are not the eight proposed by the
board, but eight of the first ten.
Mr.. rRAcY's VIEWS.
The naval committee Of the house devot-
cd two hours to-day to hearing Secretary
Tracy give his general ideas toward the fur
ther increase Of the navy, and the policy to
he pursued by the department on naval
matters. His opinions were those expressed
In his annual report for 1889. In regard to
increasing the naval establishment, the sec-
rotary thought the time had come for build
ing fighting vessels. Our ability to COLI
struct them had been satisfactorily dcmon-
stratcd, and lie urged the committee to ell.
deavor to enact legislation for the building
of them. The work, he thought, should
commence at once, and the vessels should
be as large as the eize Of our harbors would
permit. While the secretary did not in.
stance any particular kind of vessel that he
wanted constructed, he introduced some de-
signs, not in detail, indicating Q general
type of battle ship. This ship is novel in
regard TO the distribution Of Its battery. All
the guns can he used at once tho arinor is
heavy, and the speed is placed at seventeen
knots per hour. In regard to the question
Of coaling stations for foreign squatlrons,
the secretary used as further argument in
favor Of building fighting ships that it
would be necessary to maintain these sta
tions when established.

There is q lawyer with an Office in one
OF the large buildings in New York who

who never loses his temper nor allows
his language TO stray from tho path Of
proPriety. He was desperately busy the
other day when female book canvasscr
entered his private Office. and as she ad-
vanccd from the door,, announced her
mission.
Il should like to show you very val.
vable work" she began.
Madam" said the counsellor. as he
rose from his chair. you must excuse

Tho Queer Case That = Maine judge
Will Have to Decide.
A curious case is shortly to como be-
torc the court ct Portland, Mo-, boine
tho trial Of q man for tho theft of tho
hand OF q woman who had been dead
twenty years. Tho story in connection
is most remarkable ono. In 1870
Ronald Seaforth, an Englishman on
gagged in tho lumber business, lost his
mother, Mrs. Annie Seaforth. This lady
on hcr dcath-bcd mado her son promise
to lay her remains beside those of her
husoand, who is buried in England,
near Hull. For various reasons Mr.. Sea-
!ortn has never been ablo to keep this
promise until tho last spring, whom,
early in May, no had tho body cxhumod,
proposing to talzo it to England.
1t was noticed that tho coffin was Cx-
traordinarily heavy, and to ascertain
tho cause it was opened, when it was
found that tho body had completely
turned to stone. Mrs. Seaforth, whose
death took pl9co when she was barely
forty, was rarely beautiful woman.
with hands particularly symmetrical
and small, and 1t is said that her petri.
fled form seemed an exquisite statue
carved IN gray marble. Pending his sail
ing with it, tho body was loft By Mr..
Seafarth in tho charge of Lawson, an
undertaken. When Mr.. Seaforth called
for the remains ho found that the right
hand had been broken OF at tho wrist
and was gone.
Ho accused Lawson Of tho theft, and,
procuring search warrant, found the
hand in tho latter's private desk. Tho
case has attracted groat deal of ut
tention. as it is thought by lawyers to
be unique. Lawson willplead guilty to
tho charge. He says that no wanted tho
hand as curiosity and article of vertu,
and did not steal it for tho ring of gold
and pearls on the foreflnger.

dence Of Mrs. c. S. Lassell, when Miss

Young ladies, became Mrs. William J.

partaken Of the bridal party directly
following the ceremony drove of to
CLAYTON in carriage, and the twain
took the cars on their wedding trip, or
more properly, honeymoon.
Mr.. Shearer is of Carlisle, Pa,

here.
The wedding was great surprise,
but of that class in which everybody is
pleased, and hearty in their cOngratu-
latiOns.
Smyrna times., 1890-06-18

The editors of the Morning NeWs
and the Erery Erening are having
some sharp words as to whether the
latter made a "vindictive assault"
on Peter J. Ford in the late Sherifialty
contest, Erery Euenjng branding it as
a malicious falsehood. Presuming
that the latter knows what its
own purpose was and that the reporter
misconstrued its language, the animus
of the matter antedates the incident by
a year or two, when Wilmington was
maelstrom of political filth. The
Ne,Cs took a strong stand in stemming
the onward current, as did most of the
Wilmington papers, but the position of
the EUery Erening in those degenerate
days must not be forgotten, for to it
more than to any other source, for it
had larger opportunities being in the
dominant party must be awarded the
credit of arresting the evil current. 1t
lost sight of politics for the time for
the public good, and not only antagOn-
lied bad men who had their hand on
the party machine seeking the nOmina-
tions, but fought them after their NOM
ination, and materially aided in their
defeat. 1t suffered pecuniarly for its
boldness, but had the satisfaction of
knowing that a threatened reign of
debanchery had been averted and the
good name of the city saved from
shame. 1t goes further to show that a
paper of convictions as is the case with
an individual, can be power though
surrounded by adverse evil inhuen-
