CROWDlAo TIE WORK.
FINISHING THE WAR VESSELS IN
A HURRY.

For the First Time Since the Exciting
Times of the Rebellion Uncle Sam is
Working Large Forces BAY and Night
and sunday at the Navy Yards.
The United States navy yards pre-
sent the appearance of activity wit
messed for the first time since the on
citing scenes of the Rebellion. Large
night and day forces arc worked and
the hum and din of busy worhmen also
continues throughout the Sabbath. The
same report comes from the Brooklyn
yard, where the Miantonomah and At
lanta arc being fitted cut, and from
Mare Island. California, whore some
half a dozen ocean warriors are being
finished with all speed. A rumor was
current that the Baltimore, now in
Chilli, had been blown up, but this was
denied. 1t was said that the officers
and crew of the Baltimore exercise the
same vigilance as in war times, and the
torpedo nets about the vessel would save
her from sudden attack. The unusual
hustle and activity at the yards is said
not to be due to the reported sinking OF
the Baltimore, but it is conceded that
the strained relations between this
country and Chilli has caused the gov
eminent anxiety to get all the war YES
sells ready for any possible contingency.

Guilty of Manslaughter.


THE Rcarick poisoning case at Woon-
socket is over. and slight review Of
this noted trial might be Of interest.
On October "a, 1890, Mrs. Eliza Rear
lex was arrested for poisoning her
husband. She at once made numerous
confessions, and it seemed a foregone
conclusion that Imprisonment for life
would be her fate. AS the time for trial
drew near public interest grew intense
when it was discovered that her counsel
had withdl avn, all out John L. Kean,
young attorney Of Woonsockct, who
prepared for a desperate fight for
his client. Witnesses were brought
from several states, and among them
DIR. Walter Haimes, of lhicago, leading
chemist in Rush Medical College. John
E. Whiting, States Attorney. was assist
ed by e. II. Aplin, of Huron. 1t seemed
an unequal contest but the result is
victory for the defense. The jury was
out twenty-four hours, and their verdict
of manslanghter was coupled with Il
recommendation for light sentence.
The maximum sentence can only be
four years. and as the defendant has a
5-months-Old baby to be considered,
there is no doubt but what the sentence
will rot exceed two years. The court
will pronounce judgment November 20.
