The United States warship Kearsarge
and the monitor Nantucket arrived In Nor
folk, Va, Wednesday night, badly dam
aged. Said an officer of the Nantucket:
"The two vessels left New York Friday,
the Nantucket In tow of the Kearsarge.
Sunday afternoon the wind increased in
force and swell came heavily
from the south. The Nantucket was max
ing water all the time, all the pumps not
being able to gain on it The water rapidly
filed the ship owing TO the various OPEN
ings to the compartments being choked up.

aft the bilge pump& About 10 o'clock
Monday they succeeded in clearing some
of the openings and the pumps began
to get ahead of the water All hands,

we're exhausted from loss of sleep and
exertion, but they got TO work to
clear the ship OF water and secure
the two fifteen-inch guns In the turrets,
which had got adrift All went we'll,
however, until O'Clock Monday morning,
when one of the towliDes parted, fol-
lowed an hour and a half later by the
parting OF the other line which left the
monitor at the mercy of the waves When
the lines parted the Kearsarge sgnaled
that she would stand by. BY night the
wind was blowing perfect gale from the
south and the Nantucket kept her head to
the sea. BY this time the seas were break
ing over the turrets of the vessel Tues
day morning the Kearsarge was not to be
seen and the weather was still bad. The
Nantucket then steered for Cape Henry.

MANY HEADS BROKEN.
Chicago Police and Unemployed Paraders
in Seriovs Collision.

in Seriovs Collision.
In a shcrt but bloody battle Saturday
afternoon between a score of Chicago
policemen and an angry mob OF nearly
1000 idle men the bluecats put their
assailants to flight and scattered them
to the four winds with broken heads
and bruised limbs The battle was
fought within the shadow of the City
Hall and was the climax OF the
daily parades OF unemployed men that have
been taking place for nearly week. The
last parade, which eliminated in bloody
riot, was entirely broken up, and no more
will be permitted. Five officers were in
iured in the riot At least II dozen Of
the rioters were badly beaten by the
officers billies. Two Of the ring
leaders. Victor Horovitz and Joseph
Wenzel, had their scalps laid open by po-
licemen's clubs and were captured. Four
or FIVE of the rioters were captured, but
refused TO give their names. Within ten
minutes after the outbreak the mob was
dispersed and invisible, and beyond a
small army of bluecoats in the vicinity Of
the city hall there was no sign of the re-
cent battle The trouble was precipitated
by U. s. mail wagon trying to cross the
line of parade.

fiery TRADE together with few invective;

been so.

that Mrs. Southworth derived the plots
of some of her stories from suggestions
of her dreams. As a rule dreams fur
nish only situations or impressions which
are likely to be both subtle and intense.
Who does not remember some haunting
melody of his dreams whose sweetness
moved HIM to tears, some glimmering
landscape, some strange and weird jour
neying or faces that suddenly appeared
and as suddenly vanished in this quaint

Sketching one day in Burmah, he no

6ercely straight ahead of him at some

The man sat with the same fixed glare
the whole afternoon and was Mt it again

meant The reply was, 'NOh. he is in
lover And it was explained that this
was their method of courtship
The object of the mans attentive gaze
was girl in aneighboring bazaar. When
n young man falls in love, he has to seat
himself at a certain distance from his
adored one and wait for her to do the
rest. If she looks in his direction once
or twice on the first or second day, he is
wildly encouraged. and il on the third
day she mods to him and smiles it is
