DEATH OF YOUNG ABE LINCOLN.
His Long and Manful Struggle for Life
Ended This Morning.

The dispatches from London announce the
death at IL a. m. today, after long and brave
struggle against disease, of young Abraham
Lincoln, the only male grandchild Of the mar
tyred President.
poor Jackr' sighed Col Thos F. Barr, who
was military secretary to Mr.. Robert Lincoln
when he was Secretary of War, when he heard
the sad news. HE was one of the dearest
brightest, most lovable boys on earth, abso-
lutely unspoiled. frank, interesting and prom
ising. His father fairly idolized him and gave
him almost his entire thought. When the
family we're preparing to 60 to London last
spring asked Mr.. Lincoln what he intended to
do with Jack, and he said that that was giving
him more anxiety than any question he had yet
encountered. He had wanted him to keep on
with his college work and had laid out a
course OF study for him in preparation for his
future life. His death will almost break his
heart"
SORROW IN THE WAR DEPARTMENT.
All through the department are heard ex-
pressions of grief at the death Of the minister S
son. His was a familiar face around the vicin.
ity of his fathers office during the latters term
as Secretary of War, and during that period the
officials learned to love the bright little fellow
lot whom everybody had pleasant word, and
who always had a bright reply ready. He
made friends easily and readily and lacked the
bashfulness that children usually have without
being at all forward or disagreeble. The pho
tograph from which the accompanying cut was
made was taken just about five years ago. and
is an excellent likeness of Jack--as everybody
knew him-as he appeared then. OF course he
has since matured and broadened and become
more manly, less childish. In his appearance.
but, as gentleman who saw him but recently
has said, the portrait Is still good one.

JOhnstOwn Will Gain One Hundred
Acres of Land by the Plan.

A project is on foot to change the course of
Stony creek at Johnstown. Pa, for over a mile
in order to acquire a large amount of land
The scheme is to dig a channel over the
SUPPLIES farm, about three-quarters of a mile
above the town. which would shorten the
course Of the river about half mile.
The river would enter the farm at the upper
part OF the Old feeder dam and throu sh the
SUPPLIES farm to the channel as it is ut present
then to dig a channel starting at the upper end
OF kernvile along the base Of the hill and con-
meeting with the channel about a half mile
above the stone bridge. This would make the
river almost straight for two miles. 1t would
do away with the feeder dam. and the ice har-
vest in this place would be ruined, as the res
ervolrs around town do not furnish enough ice
to supply the people.
Ii the project is carried through there Will
be no water whatever between one part of
hernville aud Johns.own proper, while parts
OF the fifth and sixth wards OF the new city

JUSTICE FIELDS PROTECTOR.
The Neagle Case Considered In the u. S.
Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court yesterday took up the
Neagle case arising out of the shooting of
David Terry in Lathrop, CAL, last summer in
protection of Justice Field. All the justices
were present except Justice Field. The court
was crowded with prominent men. who listened
attentively to the arguments. Mr.. Zach Mont
gomery opened the case in behalf of the ap-
pellant, Sheriff Cunningham, who had re-
leased the prisoner on a writ of habeas corpus
issued by the United States court. The writ
was on the ground that Neagle had killed
Terry deputy marshal who was engaged in
his duty of protecting justice of the Supreme
Court Mr.. Montgomery said the matter was a
lurlsdlctlonal one between the state of Cali
fornla and the United States as to who should
try the man and that all questions of Neagle's
guilt or innocence were irrelevant. He, how
ever. would review the leading points in the
evidence. MIR. Montgomery made a rapid re-
view Of the case and then presented his argu-
ments, based on the nature of the statutory
laws, why Neagle should'be turned over to the
state of California for trial. If it were true
that his act was justIfable homicide neces-
sary for the protection Of Justice Field then
there need be no fear that the state would not
acquit him. But it was for the state to decide
on this point.
on BEHALF OF THE UNITED STATES.
Attorney General Miller followed on behalf
of the United States. He divided his argu-
ment into two heads-first it is the duty of the
executive department to protect the judiciary
OF the government; second, that under the
CONSTITUTION, the judiciary being in obeyance
to the executive, it is the duty of the judiciary
department TO sit In Judgment upon the
acts OF its officials in performing their duties in

THE NAVAL RESERVE,
How 1t is Proposed to Preserve Worm
out Naval Vessels.

Commander Philip B. Low and Captains W.
2. Williams and W. H. Nostrand of the first
battalion, naval reserve, New York state, are
here in the interest of their organization and
stopping at the Normandie for few days. The
organization is well under way and the four
companies are drilling Monday and Thursday
evenings on board the U.S.S Minnesota, at
18th street and North river. The accommoda-
tions and armament of the Minnesota are con-
sidered inadequate for their use and it is hoped
they will acquire the U.S.S. Brooklyn, now
condemned to be sold. This old war ship, with
such a grand historic record it is claimed
should be preserved and with very small ex-
pense might be placed alongside the dock in
New York city as a permanent floating armory
for this first battalion. The New York press
and the New York people are enthusiastic sup
retical problem of a naval reserve so long agl-
tated has been put into actual existence. The
privates of the different companies are men of
intelligence and standing, identified with mari
time yachting and business affairs i'll New York,
and furnish the best subjects for instruction as
trained and skilled artillerymen FOR service on
board the harbor defense vessels.
IN OTHER CITIES.
Boston, Philadelphia Washington and Chi
cago are all agitating the subject of organizing
naval reserves, and if the legislation now pend
ing for the assistance OF the different battalons
in allowing them TO use such ships as the Brook
lyn and Hartford, which will thus be preserved,
a great step will be gained. The movement is
a popular one and. with the Navy depar tment
acting in sympathy, 1t is thought that good re-
suits will soon be shown placing this nation far
ahead OF all others in point of efficiency and
numbers of naval reserve force.
