DEAR SIR
II am glad to hear that YOU have had
satisfactory settlement with Ohio County
and that the county has honored itself by
disregardlng the influences which were
used to try and make it repudiate, or fail
TO fulfill, its obligations to our Company.
Its honorable action in the matter
should tend 10 increase its credit and midi
rectly il will be pecuniary advantage
much greater than any evasion Of con-
tracts could have produced.
What have you done with the bonds!
l think they should not be pressed for sale.
They will in all proba bility increase in

A Strange Report.

1t will be remembered by REGISTER
readers that about eight or nine months
ago a man named Robert Johnton went
TO the edge of the river near the foot
of Eighth street, and after watching
some boys playing there until they, as
he supposed, went away, took off part
Of his clothing, waded into the water
and drowned himself. A young man,
an eyewitness to the circumstance, tod
the story, and sometime afterwards a
body was taken from the water n short
distance down the river. which was
identified as Johnson.
Now comes a report that johnson has
turned up alive in Ohio, and with 1t
there is some trouble about the pay
ment Of the reward for the body.

THE LARGEST sAlLlNG-sHIp.
She Is the Maria Eickmers. Running from
Hnrnnh TO Bremen.

The sailing-ship Maria Rickmers, re-
Gently launched az the Russell yards. at
Port Glasgow. Scotland. il claimed to be
the largest sailing-ship in the world. says
the New York Word she IS 375 feet long.
with "a breadth of beam Of As feet, draws
70 feet OF water. and has over 30 feet depth
of hold. Her net tonnage * 3.HZ2 and
over double that IN carrying capacity.
She Is built of steel. with double bot
tom all fore and aft, with deep midshlp-
tank for carry ing water ballast. she -
rugged as a tge-mastel bark. carrying
double t0pgallant sails and single ROYALS on
four OF her masts ana skysalls CD three.
and carrying altogether abOutJl,OJJ square
feet Ot canvas.
An uuusa feature in her construction Is
that she Is fitted with auxiliary triple eX-
pansiOn engines. and machinery OF suti-
clent power 10 give her speed OF about
seven knots during Gains and very light
winds. She IS provided with n double
bladed featheriug propeller-wheei. whleh
does not interfere with her steering quail
ties when moving under sail alone.
The Maria RIckmers was built Tor the
firm Of Rickmers ~ Co., rice-mlllers, OF
Bremen. Germany, and Will be used IN the
rice-carrying trade between Burmah ana
Bremen. She Is now ~ sea on her maiden
voyage from Glasgow 10 Singapore.
As compared with the big American ship
Shenandoah, the harla Rlckmers IS % ieet
LONGER. ! foot less beam, and has the
same draught a the Shenandoah. AT the
same time she carries nearly 1000 more
wards of canvas and has amuch larger ton
maze. The Shenandoah Is now the third
largest sailing vessel IN the world. al
though undoubtedly the largest wooden
vessel aiioat.
The nearest competitor TO the Maria
Rlckmers is the huge fye-masted sailing
ship La France, which is the same length,
975 feet, Is one foot wider. but has less
draught. and Is in net tonnage ~ tons
less. Ii l. claimed for the Maria Rickmers
that she can make from thirteen to Ill
teen knots an hour. with sail power
alone. Her steam power Is purely auxili-
arv and is only 10 be used IN case Of Gains.
Her speed yet remains 10 be determined,
however, and her ability to make what
she claims Is doubted by sailors on TINS
side of the globe.
American shipmasters say she lacks that
Grace of line and ease of movement Tor
which American ships are noted, and that
she is too clumsy to develop any great de-
gree of speed.

The rench-Canadian papers continue to

The minister uttered the words thot

To pronounce the benedictlon, assuming
an attitude more common perhaps then
than now-the hands outstretched with
upraised palms. The solemn words were

felt the descent Of two silver half-dollars
