\ WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-0rders were
ssued from the navy department to-day
o the commander of the navy yard at
Mare Island, Cal, to accept cruiser No.
), known as the San Francisco. The re-
port of the trial board, of which Commo-
lore John Irwin was president, gave the
ship on her trial trip an average of Is, ,663
Knots per hour. This speed was based
ipon a run of four hours, an allowance of

tbrced draught to the two lower furnace
air ducts TO the boilers i'm the after fire
Dom during the latter part of the run,
and TO all of the furna ces in the forward
fire room for 10 minutes. This was neces-
,ary because water was discovered coming
nto the forward fire room, where il was
used for circulating through guide sprays

through the tram pipe valve onto the fire
room iioor and partially filled the two
lower furnaces and ducts of the boiler in
he second fire room forward. Without
Lis allowance of l minute and 42seconds,
-the speed Of the vessel was l9.5lS knots.

Never in the history of Pennsyl.
vania have the township roads cost
the people of such localities as much
for repairs as they have thus far this
winter, and never in the memory of
the oldest inhabitant have they been
in as defective conditions as they
are at present. In addition to the
cost for repairs, observes the Har-
risburg Independent. is the loss in
broken vehicles of all kind and IN
jury to horses in strains by drag
ging heavy loads over such high
ways. The loss has fallen heavy,
especially on persons who do the
larger portion of the travelling on
township roads. An expert has
estimated that Illinois roads cost the
farmers of that State yearly SIS, ,0OO-
900 in extra hauling, and counting
the better market the farmers of this
State have for vegetables, fruits,
butter, milk, etc. their loss must be
at least as great. Bad roads are
one of the causes of the depressed
condition of agriculture in Pennsyl-
vania, and it IS gratifying to note
that the public in general are find
ing it out.

perhaps prisoner was caught car

CRUELTY IN A PRISON.
An investigation Of the Missouri
Penitentfary Likely to be Made.

ST. LOUIS, March 16.-For some
time there have been vague rumors OF
a bad state of affairs in the Missouri
Penitentiary. The chief charges
was brutality. An ex-convict, who
refuses to have his name printed,
has made a sensational statement,
detailing cruelty of the most hor-
rible character. He says:
eThe use Of the lash in the prison
is common, too common to
be of any possible benefit in keeping
order. A man goes to the whipping
post not with the feeling that he is
being punished for some infraction
of the rules, but to crafty the ill
feeling of some guard whose enemity
he has incurred.
aDeputy Warden Bradbury is the
one whose duty it is TO WELD the
raw hide. In the middle of the rooms
stands the whipping-post and stocks.
The men stand facing the instru-
ment Of torture and the guards re.
port the conduct of their men to the
warden. A guard complains that
one of his men neglected his work
or was talking to fellow prisoner;

Harrison And t'he Party.

The Democratic and Mugwump
organs which have been reviewing
the administration of President Har-
rison during its first year, have not
been able to bring any indictment
against it on the ground of dis
honesty or in competency; but they
have been using up good deal of
space in proving to their own salts.
faction that the President is not
'spopular;" that he is a disappoint-
ment to the Republican party, and
that he cannot possibly be re-
elected.
Republican papers are much bet
ter qualified to pronounce an opin-
ion as to the drift of sentiment In
the Republican party than the Demo-
cratic and Mugwump press, and q
careful examination OF great
number of expressions in the Re-
publican press in all parts of the
country shows that not only does
the Administration stand well in the
confidence and respect of those who
put it in power, but that the Presi-
dent personally has made a favor
able impression on the psrty. We
have not yet seen one Republican
newspaper which in commenting on
the close of the first year of the Ad-
ministration has not expressed satis-
faction with its course.
There is general agreement in
these expressions of opinion that
Mr.. Harrison has shown the qualities
of a safe, upright and conscientious
public servant, and that his judg-
ment, while cautious, has been sure
footed. 1t is fact which must be
admitted by any one familiar with
the history of past Administrations
that has rarely happened, in the be-
ginning OF second year in Office,
that any President has been on bet
ter terms with his party than Presi-
dent Harrison is to-day. If there
have been disappointments, as there
unquestionably have been, they are
with those applicants for Office who
have not received what they asked
for; but even these are not wide
spread. They do not affect the
masses nor do they show the slight
est sign of developing into dissen-
sions in the future.
The strongest point in the Presi-
dents personal character, SO far as
the country has had an opportunity
to observe it. is that he has admin
istered his Office on lines laid down
by himself. He has not set up a
kitchen CAbinet and he has not been
under the influence of any one man
or set of men, either in or out of
Office. He has made it clear from
the start that Benjamin Harrison is
President, and it is this quality that
the people like in HIM, even if he
does not entirely satisfy some Of the
politicians who have been endeavor.

confer with her in regard to the
purchase Of a baby from a milkman
named Hess, who then lived on East
hill, but who now lives in Southport.
Hess was called and said that while
he thought Mrs. Haight had never
made. any definate proposition to
him concerning the purchase of his
baby, yet he thought that she had
once broached the subject to him,
but he swore positively that it was
in 1887. This concluded the taking
of the testimony. An effort was
made to obtain an interview with
Mr.. Hamilton, but he refused 70
talk about the case. He however,
practically admitted that his greatest
hope was to firmly establish the
negative of his wife's pregnancy
while here, and seemed to think that
he had effectually done this. On
the other hand. Colonel Fuller
seemed equally confident of the sue
cess of his client, and declared that
the plaintiff had failed to establish
any case. He said he had positive
proof to disprove the alleged facts
concerning the baby farm in New
York, and promised to introduce
some new and startling features
when the case again comes up in

HamiltOh,,s Divorce Case.

Robert Ray Hamilton, with
George NJ. Diven, his counsel, and
Charles w. aller, attorney for Mrs.
Hamilton, appeared in Referee Van
Duser's Office Elmira N. Y, again
on Monday morning to resume the
taking of evidence in the Hamilton
divorce case. Colonel Fuller came
up from New York on Saturday
night, stopping at Laceyville, Pa,
where he secured the two witnesses
for his side of the case. The whole
efforts Of the Plaintiff heretofore had
been to establish negative or to
disprove that during her residence
in this city and Towanda during
October and November, 1883, Mrs.
Hamilton exhibited any signs of APP
preaching maternity. Many wit
nesses had been sworn upon this
point, and all of them swore that
they could not remember that she
then had any appearance of preg-
nancy. II was the intention of
Colonel Fuller to produce positive
proof of his clients near approach
to motherhood. Colonel Fuller con-
tended that the burden of the
proof rested upon Mr.. Hamilton to
establish this negative. He declar-
ed that he had not done this, and he
now proposed to take the offensive
and establish an absolute positive.
He then called Phillip B. Courts
right and Fl. II. Hartman, both OF
Laceyville, Pa, and both testified
that they saw Mrs. Hamilton while
visiting at the residence of her
brother, w. b. Steele, in that will
age, and that they observed what
they considered positive evidence Of
approaching maternity. Hartman
said he was a fisherman and sold
fish at the Steele's residence. He
saw Mrs. Hamilton almost daily,
and in his best Judgment she was
soon to become mother. Colonel
Fuller seemed to think that he had
sufficiently established bis point,
upon which, it is said, rests the re-
suit of the contest, and he then
rested his case.
AT THIS POINT A DECIDED sENsATIoN
was caused by the appearance Of
Mrs. Annie Haight, who, at that
time, kept a saloon and restaurant
on Railroad avenue in this city.
Her testimony was to the effect that
