BIG BATTLE SHIPS,
Lord Armstrong Say. the Argu ment
Against Them Arc UnnssaiiabIe.

LONDON. Sept 2a-The annual meeting Of
the Armstrong and Mitchell Company OF ship
builders. who built the war ship Victoria. sunk
in collision with the Camperdown was held in
London this afternoon. In speaking OF the
collision Lord Armstrong contended that the
arguments against building immense iron
clads were urassailsble. The same argu-
ments, he said. held as good. however. against
gigantic cruisers as against gigantic baltic
ships.
Tho collision ofrTripoll had certainly taught
a valuable lesson. The strength and stability
Of the Camperdown's prov ram were insuffi-
cent to enable her to deliver an effective blow
without peril to herself. The same defect
probably, existed In tho other rams. The life
of a battle ship. however. was far too valuable
to DO staked on the use Of her ram. Besides,
big battle ship was too unwieldy to give full
effect to her ram.
Lord Armstrong advocated. therefore. the
building OF several vessels especially designed
for rammng. These vessels should not be too
lnrge, he said. and should be kept clear from
the costly complications Of battle ships Per-
sonal dash on the part OF the commander
would be the PRINCIPAL quality needed in han;
such an inexpensive vessel would be OF small
importance as compared with the loss OF q
great battle ship like the Victoria.

MRS HALLIDAY IN COURT.
Arraigued TO Plead to Three indictments
for Murder.

MONTICELLO. N. Y. Sept 2S.-The court room
was crowded this morning to its utmost ca
pacity. and many were unable to gain admts-
sion. At 1890 Judge Fursman directed Dis
trict Attorney David S. Hill to read the indict-
ments. The third one was that against Eliza
beth Halliday. and the Court directed the
Sheriff to bring the prisoner before the bar.
In few moments Sheriff Bercher led Mrs
Halliday into court. She was clad in blue
dress. and looked clean and neat. Her hair
was tied In tight knot at the back OF her
head. She looked pale from her sickness and
Imprisonment. Her eyes roamed about the
court room and for the first time since her i'm
prisonment she looked those around her
straight in the face.
The District Attorney began to read the in
dictment which charges her with the murder
Of Sarah Jane McQuillan. Margaret MoQuillan,
and Paul Halliday in the township OF Mama
kating, county OF Sullivan. and finds the charge
OF murder in the first degree against her AS
the District Attorney read to her she looked at
him and blinked. not seeming to realize the
terrible charge presented against her. When
the reading OF the indictment was finished.
Judge Fursman asked her whether she pleaded
guilty or not guilty. The prisoner did not an
swer. she apparently not understanding the
question. When asked II she had selected a
lawyer. she nodded an affirmative. but could
not speak his name. When asked II she would
know him, by sight. she nodded, She then
turned and took Lawyer Thomas Hart OF New
York BY the lapel OF his coat and led him be-
fore the Judge Judge ssd he was
counsel and spoke kindly to Lawyers Hart
and H. b. Fullerton. who have been m sntioned

that under an act q the last legislature

counsel must be appointed by the Justice and
TO appoint a lawyer from another county
would be an injustice to the resident counsel;

Mrs. Halliday was asked II she knew there
were three indictments against her. She said
in low voice that she did not Her apparent

ieved that her case will be tried at the
