A French coastguardsman named
Mainvieille met his death in a re
markable manner on the Mediterra.
mean coast, near the mouth of Aude
He was going his rounds with a CON
rade when the latter, who was a few
steps behind, saw Mainvieille sink sud.
denly into some q~uicksands. He went
down 70 rapidly that he wa unable tc
sieze a stick held out to him, and in 8
few minutes had disappeared completely
from sight.
The other man ran for assistance, but
it was found impossible to find even the
mans body, as the sea, which was very
rough, was throwing up sand in large
quantities on the spot.-St. James GA.

A valuable battlefield relic was recent.
ly found neal the city. 1t is an eighteen
carat gold case watch, manufactured by
the Tobias Watch company, Liverpool,
the case being No. 3,868. 1t was plowed
up one day last week by Mr.. Davis on
the old breastworks in Coke's district,
Cobb county. The case is heavy and
comparatively uninjured, but the rust
has completely eaten the hinges up. The
covers were both found, but were sepa'
rated from the case. 1t is heavily jew
eled and was no doubt a very fine watch.
The owner is supposed to have beer
killed.-Atlanta Constitution.

A new kind of lifeboat has been con
structed to the order of the Boulogns
Humane society on n model designed by
one of its members. The construction
of the new boat is simple and econom.
ical. and could be adapted to any seq
going rowing boat. The invention con
sists In the introduction of air tight cop
per chambers, broad at the gunwale
and diminishing at the bilge, placed on
the outside of the boat, where they are
equally distributed, SO as not to interfere
with the sweep of the oars. The tops OF
the chambers shelve down outward,
forming a smooth gunwale, ten inches
broad amidships and tapering away fore
and aft.
These compartments are protected
from injury by a casing forming double
bulwarks, inasmuch as the shape of the
hull preserves perfectly its boatlike ap-
pearances. 1t means really a little
more beam and consequently more sta
bility. The proposed new feature does
not at all affect the speed of the vessel.
In addition to these compartments cham
bers can be fitted fore and aft. 1t has
been usual to place the air or cork lined
chambers inside lifeboats, especially or
board Of ships lifeboats.
The outward application of these air
cases gives greater solidity to the boats
side in the event of being STAYED in, and
will tend to prevent accidents such as
happen through people bringing their
weight to bear on one side of a BOAT when
pulling a person out of the water. A
boat fitted as described has been tested
with the combined weight of six persons
assembled on n side.
ALI this weight failed to overturn the
boat, the water tight compartments
brought into contact with the water
resulting only in giving the boat a par
tial list and 80 far proving its resisting
power and buoyancy. The new boat is
17x feet long, is built of elm and cost

Evidence Concluded.

VALLEJO, Cali, Jan. I3.-The Balti-
more inquiry was concluded this afternoon.
1t has lasted six DAYS and every aspect Of
the affair has been fully investigated.
The testimony of the men who related
their individual experiences during the
riot clearly brought out that the attack
was premeditated and the police and SOL
diers aided the mob in their deadly work.
The testimony of the ships medical Off
GERS showed the Valparaiso authorities
refased to treat the sailors in the hospital
or allow the ships surgeons to do SO.
Lieut.. McCrae testified to his presence
at the examination of the Baltimore sail
ors by Judge of Crtmes Foster, stating
that the Baltimore sailors were unable to
positively identity any OF the CHILEAN sail
ors present as among their assailants.
He also testified as to the i'll feeling the
ChilIans seemed to have toward Ameri-
cans. Capt. Scidey detailed the arrival
of the Baltimore at Valparaiso April 7,
1891. In about a month she went to
Iquique, in connection with the 1tata
matter. The statement that a great ma
joritY of the men were sober was corrob-
GRATED by a number of prominent men
who saw them.
The fact that rigid INVESTIGATION by the
Judge OF crimes, who discovered only seven
pen knives. shows the men were un-
armed. Sctley then detailed the various
acts of GOODNESS shown the Americans at
ter the riot. For instance, a banquet was
given at Santiago to which all foreign of
ficers were invited save the americans.
Chilean vessels showed marked discour-
tesies, the boats from Chilean war ships
ran out of their curse repeatedly 10 cross
bows with the American boats, forcing
the latter to back water to avoid a COLI
sion. Although the American sailors
were discharged by the Chilean court, DO
one ever expressed a regret for the treat
ment accorded them. The newspapers
tried to make it out a drunken quarrel
Capt Schley's testimony concluded the
investigation.

NATIONAL CONGRESS.
"Objecter" Holman Wants to
Stop Foolish Appropriations.
Congress Has No Right to
Bankrupt the People.
A Public Building for Chey-
enne Asked For.


WASHINGTON, Jan. l3.-Tbe raj cry
of the Democratic leaders in the house
was sounded BY Representative Holman
today and if it is echoed by the Demo
cratic majority the policy of the party in
the coming session will be firmly
established. Without any warning to the
Republican side of the house, Chairman
Holman of the appropriations committee
presented a resolution declaring it to be
the Judgment of the house that the
granting of subsidies or bounties by
congress in money, of the public moneys.
bonds, or by pledge of public credit to
promote any special private industries or
enterprises, independent OF constitutional
power of congress, is unjust, impolitic
and 10 manifest conflict with the spirit of
republican institutions.
Mr.. Holman then asked unanimous con-
sent for an hours debate on each side but
at the request OF Mr.. Reed consented to
make it two hours a side. Slmpson OF
Kansas asked il this included two hvurs
for the Peoples party as well as the Re-
publican and Democratic parties. Amid
much laughter the speaker said he as
sumed a division of time would be be-
tw een those in favor of and those opos-
ing the resolution. On the suggestion Of
Breckenridge of Kentucky the debate
went over until tomorrow.
The resolution further resolves that in
view OF the present condition OF the treas
ury aud because an efficient and honest
government can only be assured by the
frugal expenditure of public mony, while
unnecessary and lavish expenditures lead
inevitably to venal and corrupt method;
no money ought to be Appropriated by
congress except such as was manifestly
necessary to carry on the several depart
ments, frugally, efficiently and honestly
administered.
Holman demanded the previous ques
ton on the adoption OF the resolution.
Meyers of Louisiana moved a reference
to the committee on ways and means.

Henderson of Iowa and various other
Republicans asked an opportunityLfur

reputable wharf rats TO be found IN
the country. There are chicken thieves,
drunken loafers, vile women without
any respect for decency or law, and all
kinds Of tlackguards. who are q general
nuisance. These people might have been
punished II caught In some act defying
the law, but the white caps concluded
to lock the stable door before any more
horses were stolen. and drive out the
dangerous and disreputable without
waiting for them TO offend against the
strict letter of the law. In doing this
they did good service TO the COM
munity, but Of course they did not fol-
low the properly defined methods named
In the laws OF their State.
One other organization OF white caps
became so notorious az to call for in
vestigation by the State authorities.
This was In Southern Ohio. Nothing
had been heard OF such an organization
in that State until Nov. IL. 1888. Sud-
denly on the night of that date band OF
about thirty horsemen appeared In Sar-
DINA, Brown County, and proceeded to
administer punishment to q resident ac-
cused OF immoral conduct The local
authorities taking no cognizance OF the
affair, an appeal was mades to the Gov
ernor. An investigation was immedi-
ately instituted, by which 1t was dis
closed that there was an oath-bounc
organization of citizens, some of them
quite prominent In the county, and 1t
was their purpose TO regulate all such
affairs as did not appeal directly to the
courts. Their crimes were petty, but
unlawful, and prompt steps by the au-
thorities broke up the organization.
The more influential members agreed to
procure the disbanding OF the organiza-
ton, and no prosecutions were made.
These were the two organizations of
white caps" that attracted investiga-
ton by State authorities. There were
many other smaller vigilant committees
in other States. but there was no evil
