OUR GROWING NAVY.
Nine New Vessels Put In Com mission
During the Year.

~AA M VI Ill Sollt j
During the Year.
The construction and equipment of the new
ships for the navy have made very satisfactory
progress. Since March4. 1889, nine new vessels
have been put in commission. and during this
winter four more, including one monitor, will be
added. The construction OF the other vessels
authorized is being pushed, both in the govern
ment and private yards, with energy, and
watched with the most scrupulous care.
The experiments y ,ducted during the year to
test the relative resisting power OF armor plates
have been so valuable as to attract great atten-
ton id Europe. The onlypart OF the work upon
The new ships that is Threatened by unusual
delay is the armor plating, and every effort is
being made to reduce that to the minimum. 1t
is II source of congratulation that the %aitici-
pated influence OF these modern vessels upon
the esprit de corps of the officers and sealnen
has been fully realized. Confidence aud pride in
the ship among the crew are equivalent to a sec
ondary battery. Your favorable consideration
is invited to the recommendations OF the secre-
tary.

THE "swells' ofLondon have ceased
carrying canes, because the clerks

habit Of carrying cheap limitations
ofcostly walking sticks. AS there
are many anglomaniacs in this
country, the cane market here wi i'll
undoubtedly suffer a setback.

BUILDINGS.
A Wise Economy in This Directioa
Should He Exercised-

At the last session 1 had occasion to return
with my objections several bills making pro-.
visions for the erection OF public buildings for
the reason that the expenditures contemplated
were. in my opinion, greatly in excess OF any
public need. No class of legislation is more LA
BILE to abuse or to degenerate into an Sunseemly
scramble about the public treasury than this
There should be exercised in this matter a wise
economy, based upon some responsible and inn
partial examination and report as to each case
under a general law.

To The Republican Electors Of the
County Of Bingham.

The undersigned citizens of the
coungy of Bingham, Idaho, in prep
aration for the ensuing campaign,
have been appointed a committee Tor
the advancement of the Republican
cause in this Territory.
Briefly stated, we believe that such
organization is now demanded, for
various reasons, among which are
the following
/. The ensuing election is expected
TO involve the selection of judicial,
executive and Legislative officers,
which the Statehood Of Idaho viii re-
quire.
2. The time for such organization,
to make it efficient and vigorous. is
short and there seems to us no valid
or forceful reason for longer delay in
beginning this work
3. An elimination of the Mormon
issue from the politics OF our future
State, must necessarily leave the Re
publican and Democratic parties face
to face upon the field of political
strife, and the duty of Republicans
10 arm and drill for the conflict. with
out further loss of time, is too clearly
obvious to call for argument.
This committee claims freedom OF
action in the nomination of candidates
for Office and we individually de.
cline to make the success or defeat
of any candidate for nomination tc
office test Of party fealty and fel
lowship.
AS Republicans who love the cause
made dear 10 us by the principles
enunciated by Abraham Lincoln, ant
gloritied by his martyrdom as mer
who are grateful TO Our brave Unior
soldiers for their preservation of ou
country in its unity, we call upoI
every sincere and faithful Republican
to unite fraternally with us in the pre-
liminary work needful to the triumph

FINDLAY, Dec. pa horrible murder,
accompanied by sensational details, was
committed at an early hour this morning at
the little village of Bays, a station on the
Cincinnati. Hamilton and Dayton Railroad,
Just north OF this city. The victim was
John Brennan, the 17-year-old son Of Cap
tain james Brennan, of the Findlay police
force. -,".
Young Brennan was the telegraph oper-
ator and agent at the station named, ana
yesterday collected all the money due the
company at that point, preparatory to turn
ing the Office over to his successor. he hav-
ing resigned his position in order to accept
place with the Standard Oil Company IN
this city. Last night, with over $500 in his
possession, young Brennan went with three
companions to sleep in a small frame build
ing near the depot at Bays, aud at O'Clock
this morning the building was discovered to
be on fire. - =-s-
When the residents of the town reached
the burning structure, the three companions
Of Brennan were found on the outside.
They reported that they could not awaken
the young operator, and that he had perlshed
in the flames. AS it was known tnat he mad
some money IN his possession. this was not
believed, and foul play being suspected. the
three were placed under arrest, and are now in
the Wood County Jail. '--t. '-
The charred remains of Brennan were taken
from the building. but nothing indicating
money was found on his person, but the body
was in such bad state that it was impossible
to ascertain whether he had been killed or
chloroformed, or either. before the fire. His
remains, which are unrecogniZable, were
brought to this city and will be inferred to-mor-
row. The people here say that he was muir
dered, and that the three young men now in
Jail are the guilty parties. Their names are
not obtainable at this hour, but excitement
runs high in the community, and every possi-
Bile investigation will be made.

Now that the new local ball club is or
ganized speculation is rife as to who the
players will be. President O'Neil was in
the center of a band of enthusiasts yester-
dav and while he declared that no effort
whatever would be made tc sign new men
for the local club until general orders were
given, he talked very confidently regarding
the players who will be here next season.
He talked very significantly about Fred
Carroll, and it would not be unsafe to say
that the big hitter will be here next year.
After several cranks had made up team
on paper the President took a hand and
said:
Now let me give you our batting order;
that is, as 1 would like, and tell me what
you think of it. Supposing we had team
10 60 the plate in this order: Hanlon, c. f.. I;
Ward, s.s.: Beckley, l; Van Haltren, l.;
Miller, 5; Carroll, c.; Bierbauer, .; Burke,
r; Staley. p. Now what's wrong with that
nine? Don't tell me We cannot get the
men. We never know what we can get
until we try. and we must have good men. We
must have them, and that's all there is about
e."
Mr. O'Neil was reminded that the Associa-
tion would want Bierbauer, and he said: That's
ali right. We want him also. But bear in mind
! am not saying that the lot / have mentioned
is the lot we are trying to get 1 am only say
ing that il would be 4 great team. Well, we
will have some ball players next year."
Mr. Nimick and President O'Neil had quite
a long conversation about baseball matters, and
the former wished the new President every
success. After the holidays are over President
ONen will take trip, and as result the new
club may be much the better for it.

The Life Romance of Pole and His Youth
full Wife.
Simon Shulberg is only Sc years old, but
still he is the grandfather of two children and
the father of11 more. He has an aunt 107years
old, and his grandfather is but two years
younger, says a reporter OF the Phlladel-
phia Press. Both of these centenarians are
living in the southern part of Poland, known
as Rus Poland.
When young man under 20 years of
age, the officials would force him to enter
the army. This was exactly the strait in
which Shulberg found himself in his
18th year. He was in love with
and was determined to marry her. They
had grown up under the same roof, and
each had picked the other out as mate for
life. If he entered the Russian army he
would only receive ruble, about 81 cents,
per month, and he saw that he could not
support his wife on such a paltry pittance.
He went TO the rabbi and told him of his
predicament. The rabbi informed Simon
that the canon OF the Hebrew faith forbade
young man under age to marry before his
eldest sister. Simon had a single sister,
who was older than he. Finally the rabbi
decided to marry the two children, and the
ceremony took place April II, 1879
Several weeks later the young bridegroom
shipped his bride in wagon and sent her
across the German border. Then he pre-
pared to fly from the country. In the
middle of the night be jumped horse and
made break for the border, which was ten
miles distant. The soldiers gave chase, but
Simon reached the little stream that divides
the two counties first. Jumping into the
stream he swan across and was safe in
Germany. He rejoined his child-wife at an
appointed place, and the two fled to London.
There Shulberg worked as a shoe finisher for
seven years, at the end of which time he
sailed for this country.
