JUDGE BRECK1NRDGE's DEATH

He Died of Heart Disease in the Midst of
tho Debate-Hls Last Words.
DETROIT, May 9o.-Judge s. ]. Breck-
inridge, who died suddenly during yes.
terday afternoons session Of the Pres
byterian General Assembly, represent
ed the Missouri Synod as one Of the
elders. He was born in Baltimore,
Nd, November /, 1928, ond was edu-
Gated at the Union College, New York;
Center College, Kentucky, and Prince.
ton. He graduated at the law school
at Lexington, KY, and settled in st.
Louis in 1850, where he had since re-
sided. The cause Of his sudden death
was declared to be heart disease.
The question before the Assembly was
a motion offered by DR.. Logan to defer
action for q year. Judge Breckinridge,
who was one OF the most eminent law
yers in the South, was stating the legal
points in the case. "Years ago" he
said, "Union Seminary was independ.
ent, but in 1871 became Presbyterian,
and of course the Assembly from that
time controlled the appointments. II
we don't veto now, we never can, DR..
Logan's amendment for deferring action
is impracticable. We view the transfer
from one church to another the same
as an appointment We can do moth
ing wisely except disapprove. THINK
it is wise net TO assign reasons. A
Judge sometimes cannot give all the
reasons for his decisions on the bench.
But without assigning other reasons, 1t
does seem to me that the mind Of the
church for some time has been anxious,
and that we should relieve it."
The Judges last words were; "Now,
gentlemen, feel that I have discharged
my duties, and wish to be excused from
further speaking" Reaching for glass
Of water, he threw up his hands and
fell, the back OF his head striking
heavily on the floor. After the Judge
had been carried to On ante. room the
debate was stopped, and when, q few
minutes afterward, physicians in the
audience who hurried to his aid pro,
nounced him dead, the Assembly voted
to do no further business for the day,
and instead OF q. banquet in the rink
last evening, a prayer meeting was held
in Fourth street church.

PArroN's nEpoRr ApoprEp.

DR.. Parkhurst, of New York, opposed
DR.. Patton's report. He could assure
them, as director Of Union Seminary,
that If they should adopt DR.. Wooster's
substitute and send the committee he
recommends, the directors would meet
them to n man in the spirit OF DR..
Wooster's resolutions.
Mr.. Raymond, Of Albany, would vote
for the veto if sure that 1t would not
prejudice the trial for hetesy. After
some further discussion, the vote was
taken on Dr.. Wooster's substitute for
Mr.. Patton's report, which resulted in
rejection by an overwhelming ma
jortty.
DR.. Logan was permitted to withdraw
his amendment, and then the great final
vote was taken by calling the roll, each
minister and elderanswereda aye or Iloas

roll were marked by eager listeners all

CRUISER NUMBER THIRTEEN.
Bids for Her Construction Opened at the
Navy Department.

Bids for Her Construction Opened at the
Navy Department.
Bids were opened at noon today at the Navy
Department for the construction of one pro-
tected cruiser for the navy of about 1880 tons
displacement
This craft-the only one provided for in the
recent naval appropriation acts to be a du-
plicate of that now under construction by the
Cramps of Philadelphia, having three screws
as motive power. The first is known as cruiser
No. IL and that for which bids were opened to-
day as No. 13.
She is to be built under either the plans of the
Secretary or those of the bidder but must be
completed on or before July !. 1898. She is to
make not less than twenty-one knots an
hour, maintained for four hours, and for
every quarter knot over that figure the builders
are to receive a premium of $4,000, with
an equal penalty for deficiencies There
are time penalties stipulated as follows:
For each day of the first three months bevond
the contract time, SIS; for each day for the
next three months $50. and for each Cay be-
| yond December 81, 1893. 500.
The vessel will have the following dimen-
| sions: Length, 4l2 feet extreme breadth. IS
feet q inches; depth from top of main deck
to top of inner bottom amidships, 80 feet l5E
inches.
The contract price will be paid in thirty
equal installments, as the work progresses.
with reservation of 10 per cent as an insur-
ance against faults, to be refunded six months
after acceptance.
There was quite gathering in the construc-
tion board room when the time came for the
opening of the bids, including the most promi-
nent ship builders of the country and agents of
others. There was the usual DELAY while the
judge advocate general waited for a messenger
to arrive from the post Office with the last mail
and it was about l2:20 when the bids were
opened.
There were two classes permitted, one and
two, the former comprising proposals based on
the plans OF the government and the latter on
the plans of the bidder.
The first bid was from the Cramps of Phila-
delphia to build the cruiser under class one for
~, ,0OO. Then came a proposal from the
Union Iron Works Of San Francisco class one
q, 793, 900. The Bath Iron Works of Bath. Me-
offered to build the vessel under class one for
q, $50, 900.
There were no other bids, and no award was
made today. The contract will probably be
awarded to the Bath company which is now
building two 1,10O-ton gun boats and the Am
men ram.
Great surprise was expressed at the amount
OF the bid made by the Camps as that firm is
now engaged in building an exact duplicate of
the ship under a bid of s2, 725,O
1t is estimated that at least 500 600 vould
be saved by the firm il it should get the bid on
the mere duplication Of patterns, both in time
and material
