An Interesting Relic.

An interesting relic of the Samoan
disaster, in the shape of the proprel-
Ter of the Nipsic, will soon be placed
on exhibition in Washington. 1t is
now at the Mare Island Navy Yard,
having been brought there from
Honolulu, where it was taken from
the Nipsic. When the American
ships were driven on the coral reef
at Samoa, the Nipsic's engines were
going at full speed, and she was
making frantic effors to get to sea.
The propeller was pounded on the
rocks, and its blades struck the hard
coral at every revolution.
They were twisted and curled up
out of all semblance to their former
shape, but remained unbroken, show
ing a wonderful degree of tensile
strength and elongation in the mate
rial. The propeller was made of old
fashioned navy bronze, containing sc
parts copper, 10 parts tin and 2 parts
zinc, and it is doubtful whether any
of the fancy patent propeller bronzes
lately introduced could stand such
rough usage and still be capable Of
running the ship to Honolulu,as was
done with the Nipsic.-IEx.

THE WATER QUESTION
VIII Be Discussed Again at the
Meeting This Evening.

VIII Be Discussed Again at the
Meeting This Evening.
The matter of securing the services Of
an experienced hydraulic engineer from
abroad to act in conjunction with the
water commissioners in the present
crisis, will be acted upon at the meeting
of the common council this evening.
The petition through the medium Of
which the matter will be brought up for
discussion, provides for special investi-
cation of the Mad river supply.
The DEMOCRAT has all along claimed
that the Mad river supply was by far
the best available for this city. By the
plan proposed reservoir can be made
less than two miles from the present
pumping station. If sufficient pressure
can not be secured at this point, it will
be necessary either to continue to pump
from the river or locate the reservoir
back in the hills. The water is there,
and plenty of it, and it is for the engi-
neers to decide the best and cheapest
way to supply it to the city. One thing
to be remembered is this That if nsces-
sary water can be pumped from the
Mad river s65 days in the year for
So, 900, about one-half the cost Of the
interest it will be necessary to pay upon
the 100000 bonds it is proposed to
issue.

Against ParnaII.

LONDON, Dec IAN informal confer
ence of the Irish home rule members
was held this morning. A majority of
about thirty favored the retirement of
Parnell. The opinion of the American
delegates greatly influenced the meeting.
Attention is now centered on the funds
of the party. About thirty thousand
pounds is deposited in bank in the name
of Parnell. He cannot draw the money
without the consent of the members of
the committee, nor can they receive it
without his sanction.
The meeting of the Irish members is
now in progress. A letter has been re-
ceived from Archbishop Croks advising
Parnell to retire.

AGAINST THE CONSOLIDATED
Decision on a Question of Law Raised
In New York.
5 EXCHANGE PLACE.


Judge Freedman of the superior court
in New York has denied an application
made on behalf of the New York, New
Haven G. Hartford Railroad company to
set aside the service of summons upon
it, because it was made upon director,
and also because the service was not
made by an officer empowered by law to
serve process issued by that court.
A great number Of suits are pending
against this road, brought by passengers
who were charged more than the regu
lar fare of three cents per mile to go to
the Morris park races. Each action is
brought to recover a penalty of $50
under the statute. The judge holds that
the service is valid IN this instance be-
cause the railroad obtained franchise
from New York as well as Connecticut,
although in an ordinary case of a for
eign corporation the service would be
insufficient. He says that service by an
officer is not requisite where the suit for
\ penalty is brought by the party di-
rectly aggrieved.

folly. When asked if there was any
truth in the rumor that he intended to

She Is in Many respects n Worthy Sue
cessor to Her Father.
The children of great and world re-
nowned men are SO often most insignifi-
can't by contrast with their parents, that
it is decidedly interesting to find case
in which the strong individuality of the
daughter makes her worthy successor
to the grand old man her father. Miss
Gladstone is vice president of Sidgwick
Hall, Newman College for Women,
Cambridge, England, and according to a
private letter in an Eastern contempor-
ary, is an exceedingly original person.
In looks she resembles her father, and
she has, fancy, his vitality. She is al
ways laughing, joking, telling stories.
She keeps the high table in roar. In
deed, whenever l hear commotion, I

think what shock she would be to
