The new tug "ReQis" building for the
Savannah Lighterage and Transfer COM
pany by Jno. H. Dialogue e. Son, at Cam
den, N. j., was launched last week. Presi-
dent Elton A. aid Mrs Smith were in

The christening was by Mics Florence
Shourds, the pretty little daughter of the
late Capt. Jno. p. Shourds, of Camden.
The vessel was launched at 10 o'clock
Thursday morning, and she slid into the
water without a hitch. AS the stern
touched the water Miss Florry broke a bot
tie of champagne over the stern and said :
81 christen thee Regis and commend thee
to the realm of Neptune; may the father Of
waters guard and guide thy destiny reflect
ing credit to thy uamesake and bringing
gladness to all around thee"
As the "Regisn landed on her feet the
swells from passing steamer set her bow
ing gracefully as if IN Acknowledgement
of the salutations from Der sister craft, A
tug was in waiting to tow her back to the
wharf, after which the party, consisting of
Mr.. and Mrs. r. A. Sheets, Miss McDer-

RUN By ELECTRICITY.
Young Gregory's Model of an Ocean
Steamer Works Perfectly.


From the Nev York World.
Julian Gregory of Snowden place, Glen
Ridge, n. j., has, for some time past, been
engaged in making boat which would be
rur by electricity. 1t is fashioned like on
oc steamer, with the exception that in
pla . of the steam apparatus there ale the
electric batteries.
The model is about three feet long and
weighs about sixty pounds. There is moth
ing lacking in it, from the crows nest" TO
the curtains in the capt AIMS room, to say
nothing Of the bunk ell ready for occupancy
or the life-boat suspended from on high.
Every part Of it has been made by young
Gregory.
few days ago the inventor, with sew
erel friends, went to Oakess mill pond with
the boat to experiment They got into a
row boat, arranged the machinery of the
electric boat so that it would go in circles
around them, and lowered it into the wa
ter.
The speed and grace with which it moved
greatly pleased the crowd that had collected
on the enbankment, and when the electric
lights were started aud shone. out brightly
even In the sunlight, the surprise was
great.
After running the boat several hours it
was taken home, and improvements are
now being made upon it by the young in-
ventor, who will undoubtedly make his
mark in the world. He is a son of Artist
Gregory OF New York, living with his par
ents at Glen Ridge, near Moutclair.

ESCAPE OF A TIGER.

The Berlin correspondent of the
London Daily News telegraphs:
THE other day a large eight-year-
old Bengal tiger escaped from the
Weidauer menagerie at Dusseldorf.
The proprietor of the menagerie at
once informed the police of the mat
ter, who Immediately sent all the
men at their disposal as well as a
number of firemen, to search for the
animal. The expedition, which was
undertaken by torchlight, was at
first without success, and the men
returned towards midnight, presum
ing that the animal had fled away.
Between two and three in the morn
ing, however, news reached the police
that the tiger had paid a visit to
gardener on the Miihlheim road, and
had killed his dog and devoured a
pig, and was lying in the garden.
Once more the police and the tiremen
went off, armed with rifles, pistols,
pixies, etc. Some of the men went in
to the garden, and some cut off the
quarry in the rear, while two Of them
crept stealthily about the yard with
raised guns. At the first shot in the
garden the animal took flying leap
over the wall into the yard. One of
the men here fired and struck the
beast in the head, making him roar
loudly. He then turned round and
sprang over the railing, several bull
lets being sent after him. On the
other side of the railing the animal,
now nearly mad with pain. unfor-
tunately fell on to policeman. and
stuck his teeth and claws into his
thigh. AT this m oment another man
ten PAGES off fired, and struck the
tiger in the back This shot seemed
to paralyze the beast, and it soon
fell dead to the ground"

Gle prepared for it, it is filled with
water; the following day a stout
buck uses ponderous mesquite club
some six feet long, with a big head
at the lower end, and tramps down
the moistened clay for several hours.
After this work is done the mill is
ready for business.
Great heaps of mesquite beans are
brought in from the bottom lands,
and as the sturdy warrior plies the
Club a patient squaw supplies the
mill with beans. In a short while
the meal or powder is removed and
put into vessels, to be saved for future
use. The mesquite bean -four is of
deep golden color, quite sweet and
crushed very fine, considering the
manner in which it is handled. The
Indians consume large quantities of
mesquite flour; they not only use it
in making kind of ''tortilla," first
mixing with little wheat -four, but
it is used in nearly every dish Of food
which they cook. The primitive mill
above described is said to be very
strong, and it will stand several
months hard and constant usage

A PRIMITIVE INDIAN MILL.

During a late visit to the Cocopah
region the writer saw manv interest
ing things, the most odd of which
was a mill of mortar for the CONVEX
sion of mesquite beans into a fine
meal or powder. A hole some two
feet in circumference and about eigh
teen inches deep is dug in the tough
clay soil, into this is fitted funnel
like barrel made of willow sticks, each
about One-inch through; these sticks
are tied to each other with red fan
mel. The lower end or bottom goes
nearly to point, making the vessel
almost perfect cone. The cone is
about three ieet long, the upper part
or mouth extending twelve inches
from the ground. After tightly fit
ting the mill into the clay recepta-

THE PRESIDENTIAL OUTLOOK.
HARRISON MAY HAVE IT.

If President Harrison desires a re-
nomination he will, without doubt,
receive it. 1t has been during, and
largely by virtue of, his administra-
ton of national affairs that the dis
tinctive principles and policies of the
republican party have been vindicat-
ed, by the demonstration of their
utility and beneficence in practical
operation.-[New York Mail and
Express (Rep.).
MIR. CARLIsLE'S VIEW OF IT.
Mr.. Carlisle believes that the de-
mocracy should fight the protective
tariff openly and boldly in the COM
ing campaign, and if this line of pol
icv be adopted it is his opinion that
the fight should be inaugurated by
the elevation of Mr. Mills to the
speakership of the house of represent
tatives. This is certainly a legiti
mate conclusion, and it will be &C
cepted eagerly by every man who de-
sires to see Mr. Cleveland the next
presidential nominee of the demo-
cratic party Rochester Democrat
and Chronicle (Rep.).
FROM BUSINESS POINT OF VIEW.
1t is not to be supposed that Maj.
Mckinley and Mr.. tom" Reed are
going into the canvass with their
pet issue. next year to train under
Mr.. Blaine's lead. This will not be
permitted. Mr. Blaine's nomination
for the presidency may put the tariff
in the background, and substitute
for it other issues. But, though
Mr. Blaine will undoubtedly be more
popular with the people generally
than is President Harrison, and, per-
haps, hold back many votes that
would have otherwise left the repub-
lican party on tariff grounds, there
are strong doubts a to whether the
business interests of the nation will
feel as safe with him as with Presi-
dent HARRISON Boston Herald.
THE MAKEUP OF THE ELECTORAL
COLLEGE.
The electoral college next year will
consist of A. members, of which a
majority, or 223, will be necessary
to elect. The republicans have. 2O4
votes in sight, and the democrats
have 169. In the republican column
of states are included Massachusetts,
and Iowa, which it is nonsense to
talk about as doubtful. We might
as we'll speak Of West Virginia, M a
ryland and New jersey being doubt
full, but which are included in the
democratic list of states in the fore
going cOmputa ton. Connecticut, In
diana and New York are considered
doubtful, and from them and Michi-
gan the republicans are expected to
get the nineteen votes necessary to
elect Michigan is republican
state. but will choose electors by
congressional districts, according to
the democratic gerrymander. In
that state the republicans will
probably get at least half of the
fourteen electors, leaving them
twelve short Of the necessary num-
Der With either New York or Indiana
they will be secure. But giving both
New York and Indiana to the repub-
licans, they can win with Connecticut
and West Virginia. 1t can readily
be seen that, although the republic
cans have much the better of the
prospects, there is enough of the ele-
ment of uncertainty in the next pres
idential election to make the cam
