eRosvENoR P. LowREY DEAD.
The Centrals Reorganization Com
mittee Loses One Of It's Most Promi-
nent Attorneys.

]
/ nent Attorneys.
News was received in the city yester-
! day of the death of Mr.. Grosvenor p.
! Lowrey of the firm of Lowrey, Stone 4
Auerbach of New York The news came
in a telegram from Receiver Conner, who
is in New York, which stated that Mr.
LOwrey died suddenly and unexpectedly
on Thursday night. His death is sup
posed to have resulted from some heart
trouble.
BY the death of Mr.. Lowrey the Cen
trial railroad and the reorganization com
mittee lose one of their ablest cOunselors
and best attorneys, and the New York bar
loses one Of its foremost and most promi-
nent members. MIR. LOwreY had prepared
the argument to be presented in behalf of
the reorganization committee in the hear
ing on the Intervention of Alexander
Brown and others, which was to have
come up before Judge jackson in Wash
ington on May .. As he was
TO have made the argument in behalf of
the Central and the committee, the case
will necessarily have TO be postponed UNI
til a later date, as it viii have to be
handled by one of the other attorneys.
Out of respect TO him it would probably
have been postponed anyway.
Mr.LOwrey was in Savannah last week.
and was apparently in the best of health
and in the prime of his mental vigor He
was here to appear before Judge Don A.
Pardee in behalf of the reorganization
committee in the Savannah and West
ern case, and IL was he who
so ably handled Mr.. Henry Crawford,
the attorney for the Richmond Terminal
de was the senior member of the firm,
but could not have been more than 60
years of age at the outside. His death
will prove a great loss to the Central and
the reorganization committee and is sad
news to his many friends in Savannah.

Macon, Ga, April 22.-Judge Speer.

qualities of head and heart were admir-
able, and he was thoroughly trusted by
large clientele. ! esteemed Mr.. LOwrey

have upon litigation in the circuit courts

A gentleman who is well acquainted
with Central affairs stated yesterday that
the death of the attorney would have

is the law and facts, in his head than any

IT MAY Be BLOWN UP YET.
The Sunkel Austrian Bark UndinC
Sold at Auction.

The Purchaser Has but Thirty Days in
Which to Remove lit Brought
S43s, All Told-Cocley & Brown
Held Responsible for Piles Driven in
the Channel During Their Attempt
to Raise the Vessel.
The sunken Austrian bark Undine,
which was sold at auction yesterday, may
cause considerable trouble yet before it is
removed from the channel of the river.
1t was sold yesterday morning in front
Of the custom house by Mr.. j. McLaugh-
lin and brought, as it lies at the bottom
Of the river channel, only $3.50. The
wreckage from the vessel brought an ad-
ditional Sl5S, making $43S in all that the
Underwriters get for an insurance of S12,
600 or SIS, 900 or more, which was the ap-
proxmate value Of the bark. TWAS sold to
Ship Carpenter T. NJ. Jones, who pro-
poses to raise her.
The Undine will have been at the
bottom of the channel sixty days
on April &c According to law
when vessel sinks and be
comes an obstruction TO navigable chan
mel, if it is not removed within sixty days
tIle government engineer taxes SbCi lS look

If the bark is still in the channel on
April 26, bids viii be advertised for at
intervals for thirty days, and on May 26,
if it still remains. the lowest bidder will
be awarded the contract for blowing it
up and clearing the channel of all the OBJ
structiOns.
ANOTHER CHAPTER IN THE STORY.

Brown took the contract for raising the
bark for the agents here, and after work.
ing at it for ten or fifteen days and spend
ing 81 900 or more on the Job, they gave it
up as an impossible task.
In the beginning of their work they
drove a number of piles in the ship chan
mel around the bark, and these constitute
another obstruction to navigation. The
driving Of these piles is a violation Of the
United States laws, and. after nOtifca-
ton, if they are not removed within one
week the offense is declared a INSIDE
meanor and the party offending, after
proceedings are issued by the Attorney
General of the United States, is subject
to fine of $1,000 or one years imprison-
ment, or both, in the discretion of the
judge.
AS yet the contractors have not re-
Ceived notification from the government
engineer, but it is probab that they will
hear from the matter within a day or two
and that they will be required TO remove
the piles as distractions to navigation,
and in event of their failure proceedings
may be instituted.
The Undine, as it lies at present, is a
menace to vessels or ships coming up the
and it may case some trouble yet
before il is removed

A DBEDaE DIGS UP A CANNON.
A Revolutionary Relic Brought UP
From the Bottom of the River.


The dredge Tomochichi, in charge of
Capt Johnson, which has been working
near the Central railroad wharves, dug
up an old cannon the other day which
is probably relic of the revolutionary
war
The cannot was an iron one about three
feet in length, and when brought up by
the dredge was loaded with grape shot
and spiked, showing that it went down
probably during some naval conflict Just
as it had been prepared to be discharged.
1t was in an excellent state of preserva-
tomas it had been buried in the mud and
was safe from the attacks of the atmos-
phere. 1t was cleaned and polished up by
the men on the dredge, and as it stands
now on its improvised carriage it presents
quite formidable appearance
The cannon is undoubtedly a relic of
some naval battle of the revolutionary
war, which belonged to some ship sunk
In the river near that point during the
storming of Savannah by the British dur
ing that period. 1t is an American can
non and no doubt went down with one of
small ships belonging TO this government
during some fight on the river as it was
loaded and spiked ready to be discharged.
Such articles and relics are often dug
out Of the river by the dredges, and
among others which have been found are
old kettles. watches and various other
things They are the property of the
men on the drcdgeS who find them.

Napaleon,s Hats.

Careful inquiry has led to the discov-
cry that there are no fewer than nine OF
Napoleon rs hats still in existence. A
writer in The Vie Contemporaries gives
list of them. One is in the possession.
OF Nine Claitte, whose grandfather,
General Giraud, picked it up at Ma
rengo. AT critical moment Bonaparte
started off at gallop, and the wind
blowing off his hat he did not stop to
pick it up.
Another Of the hats is in little crypt
beside NapOleon's tomb at the Invalides.
This was worn on the 18th, 9Th and 9th OF
February, 1907, at Eilau, and it is the
Identical one represented in the colossal
picture of the battle by Gros, to be seen
in the Louvre During the peace which
succeeded the battle Gros was commits
stoned to paint the picture, and in order
that the figure of the emperor might be
faithfully depicted the hat was given to
the painter
AT the death Of Gros in 1885 it was
found under a glass case upon wooden
stand, and it was sold by auction among
the painters effects for 2,047 francs %
confines to DR.. Delacroix, who present
ed it to Louis Philippe. The later, after
the famous second funeral Of Napoleon.
ordered it to be placed beside the re-
mains with the enperor's crosses and the
sword he wore at Austerlitz. OF the re-
naming hats one belongs to Prince Vic
tor Napoleon and another to the museum
at Gotha.-London News.

The Ocean Telephone Possible.

Professor Silvanus P, Thompson is one
of those who believe that ocean teleph-
ony is not only possible, but THAI the
means Of attaining it are within our
grasp. Telephone cables for the deer
sea will, however, require to be made on
a different plan from the existing teLe
graph cables-that is to say, single COZ
ductor of stranded copper insulated ana
surrounded by an iron sheathlng thai
comes between the outgoing wire and
the water which serves as the return
part of the circuit. The going and re-
turn wires will have to lie side by side
within the sheathing. Moreover, the
whole circuit will probably have to be
broken up into sections which are capa-
of acting upon each other by mutual IN
.duction. Globe.

THERE WIS GOOD FISHING.
Likewise Good Luck on Phenomenaiiy
Good Imagination.


Likewise Good Luck on Phenomenaiiy
Good Imagination.
The scene of the following incident
was about 20 miles from Gloversyille,
N. Y, on a beautiful little lake just
across the lakeland at Piseco lake, in
Hamilton county. The day was all that
a fisherman could desire, aud every con-
dition was right for good fishing. A
party of three We're in the boat-namely,
L. f. Everest. his friend, Professor
Spencer from Brooklyn, and the writer.
They had taken nearly so pickerel in
less than half day, and the size was
good, weighing from p to 6 pounds.
The last turn around the lucky point"
was being made before we started for
home. Everest, who was trolling one of
the lines, said ''I've got another. He's
a big one from the way he pulls" Ever
est let him play at one time nearly 200
feet of line before the fish could be
turned. When he had been brought
into sight, he was not SO large as some
we had already in the boat, but there
was an unusual motion all about him.
Soon the line was drawn so tightly it
was necessary to let him play again.
When brought back, it was discovered
that a large pickerel had attempted to
swallow the one ON the hook, which was
now quite exhausted.
The big fellow still followed, shark
like, for the dead body of his victim
which, however, we were not disposed
to give up. Just as Everest was about
to swing the fish on his hook into the
boat the professor took up his oar, hop
ing to strike and thus capture the large
one. The movement Of the oar attract
ed the attention of the fish. and in a
twinkle he made a pass at it. The blade
was about inches wide, but his jaws
grated across the upper and lower edges,
saving q groove on either side with his
sharp teeth. The professor, by carrying
his oar forward with the movement Of
the fish, at the same time raising it from
the water. landed the huge fellow into
the boat
He weighed 189 pounds. The fish on
the hook only weighed three pounds, but
showed signs of battle, being bitten III
several places. Upon opening him we
found, as is often the case, a fish of
smaller size in his stomach. This one
showed signs of life and was opened.
We then discovered a pretty little gold
chatelaine watch and were surprised
that the time agreed with our watches
aud that it was running.
More than pleased VITA our fishing ex-
pedition, we returned to the Adirondack
hotel and informed Landlord George A.
Mccoy of our good luck, at the same
time showing the watch In less than
two minutes all the guests about the
house were in the Office, and among the
number was a pretty young lady from
Albany, who said that the watch was a
token of friendship which she had priced
very highly. When on the lake in the
early part Of the day, it had fallen into
1he water, and, she supposed, was lost.
1t is needless to say she was oyerjoyed az
its recovery. Albany Journal

Oh, wind of the dead mems feet" blow softly.
Disturb not thou their rest.
Why should ye waken them from quiet slumber
Within earth's toll worn breast?
The day will come when, like mighty ocean
Which rolls from pole to pole,
Resistless thou wiltsweep the nations over,
And then must every soul
Prepare te meet the One, who, following after,
Appeareth IN the east,
And wakeneth all men from deaths dreamless
slumber,
The greatest and the least.
So, wind of the dead mems feet" blow softly.
Until shall dawn that day
When, strong and terrible, thou wilt give
warning
That all things pass away.

A side light is being thrown on the ma
ture of the elements by the chemioo-
physical discussion between Armstrong
and Hartly as to the connection existing
in the constitution Of certain organic
compounds and the colors they exhibit.
We may take it as an established fact
that a relation exists. And if so, then
why may not elements of distinct and
characteristic color be considered as
completes analogous to definitely decon-
posable substances? The two elements,
nickel and cobalt, of decided color in
their salts and in their metallic plates,
add strength to this idea in that they
may be considered as exhibiting SORT
Of isomerism. Their atomic weights are
the same within limits of experimental
error, and by analogy with compounds
identity Of atomic weight implies dis
similarity in constitution and therefore
definite structure.-Science.
