GUNBoAT ctr IN TWO.
The Topheavy Castine Successfully
Heightened by Naval workmen.

The gunboat Castine at the Brooklyn
navy yard underwent an operation for top
heaviness yesterday. She was cut IN two
amidships by workmen. and in the evening
the sections of the hull were hauled apart.
1t was a difficult operation and one which
many people thought would be unsuccessful
The Castine and her sister ship. the Ma
chias, were built at Bath, Ne. IL was found
on their trial trips that they were both top
heavy and unseaworthy, and the only RENEE
dy was declared 10 be in lengthening them
fourteen feet each. After the Castine 10
doctored up, the Machias will be treated
Workmen began on the Castine by cut
ting out her riveus with chisels. The civid-
ing line was down just abaft the middle gun
Sponsors between the engine and boiler
spaces.
The ship rested upon stationary blocks
sstern, but forward her keel rested upon
wel-greased sliding ways. When the naval
constructor ordered his men 10 commence
driving the wedges beneath her keel for
ward the weight was lifted and The steel
plates began to give way. During the first
hour but one inch was covered. Then the
big hydraulic jacks gave out. and q stout
hawser from the Castine's bow 10 a capstan
on shore was rugged out. dozen men
worked the capstan. but the necessary fours
teen feet were not made till o'clock.

to his feet. He nominated Dr. Arthur ].
Brown of Portland, Ore, in whose church
the assembly met two years ago The
nomination was seconded by Dr. Wilson
Phraner Of Sing Sing and by Rev. Thomas
Haskell of Denver
DR.. Noble of California placed in nomina-
ton DR.. John w. Dinsmore of San Jose
This was seconded by DIR. Lester of western
Pennsylvania and William d. Smith of
Bloomington. DR.. Howard Duffield of New
York placed before the assembly the name
Of DR.. James Gardner of Gloversville NY
urging him as a country pastor as moderator
of the New York synod under trying ex-
periences and as representative of the whole
church, rather than one Of any local inter
est. DR.. Breed of Chicago seconded this
nomination. Ex-Moderator William q
Young presented the name OF DR.. Samuel
A. Mutchmore OF Philadelphia The nomi-
nation was seconded by DIR. Holmes of
Pittsburg.
The vote was taken by calling the roll
The announcement was as follows:
Total number of votes, $50; necessary TO
choice, 2I6: Brown, 223; Mutchmore 207:
Gardner 96, and Dinsmore, "a. The names
of Gardner and Dinsmore were then with
drawn and a second vote was taken The
result as accepted was Mutchmore. 2sl and
Brown, 269. The former was then welcom-
ed to the moderator's chair and presented

DIR. MUTCHMoRE CHOSEN.
Election of Moderator by the Presby.
terrain General Assembly.

The first days session Of the Presbyterian
general assembly usually arouses particu-
lar interest, because on that day the ser
mon Of the retiring moderator is delivered
and a presiding officer for the ensuing year
is elected. The former is Of interest TO
many because OF the opportunity offered TO
the speaker to touch upon some of the
burning questions of the hour. and the latter
because IL sometimes indicates the compo-
sition and temper of the body. In the case
Of the sermon at Saratoga, n. Y, yester-
day. as telegraphed to The Star, advantage
was taken OF the opportunities offered, and
many Of those in attendance at the assem-
bly, openly criticised the moderator In that
course to matter that is to come before
the body on an appeal in a judicial case
1t was declared of each candidate that he
was sound in the faith" and in this was
indicated the general temper Of the assem-
bly,. The successful candidate, DIR. Samuel
A. Mutchmore, editor of the Presbyterian
Of Philadelphia, was looked upon from the
first as the leading candidate. DR.. Arthur
]. Brown was the home missionary candl-
date. but was probably hampered TO some
extent by the fact that he had been the
pupil Of Prof. Smith, whose case is to be
considered later. The candidacy of Dr.
Dinsmore Of California and of DR.. Gardner
Of New York was an outgrowth of local
pride There was no liberal candidate
nominated, and such one, IL is said, would
have had no chance of election.
Preliminary to the election the session
was opened with prayer by DR.. Edward B.
Hodge. secetary OF the board of education

The Never-Ending Chicago Trial
Drags Along.
CHICAGO, Feb. Mrs. Maria Norton
testified in the Coughlin case today that
she knew the defendant and his wife.
and that they had called upon her one
Sunday i'll April, 1889, prior to DIR.
Cronin's disappearance May 4. Mrs.
Norton said Coughlin'S little girl and
her own child had quarreled over the
possession of knife. To satisfy the
children, COughlin bad taken out of his
pocket two knives and given them to
the little girls. The witness was shown
the knives taken from the defendant on
his arrest, and supposed to be those of
DIR. Cronin, and said COughlln's knives
were very similar. When Mrs. Norton
was excused, Judge Wing created
sensation by calling John Kunze to the
stand. The introduction by the defense
of the testimony of defendant at the
former trial was an innovation, and
every one in the court room looked
eagerly for the witness appearance
The attorney considered moment, and
then announced that Police Inspector
Shack would be heard first. The Off
Ger told of the disappearance of DIR.
Cronin having been reported to him,
and of the search he began for the
white horse. The inspector said that
he had taken Dinan'S white horse to
Mrs. Conklin and she had failed to
identity 1t as the one that took DR..
Clohin away, although she afterwards
positively Identified the same horse.
Shack said that he did not remember
of having seen Coughlin at the station
on the night of May 4. Capt. Schuetler
has returned from the East, where he
found Napier Moreland. the man
who hitched up Dinan's white horse on
the night of May 4. and who has been
anxionsly sought by the prosecution.

Confiding Farmers Swindled Ont
of Mere Than 100000.
COLUMBIA CITY, Ind. Feb. 2.-James
Arnold, of the bank of James Arnold
4 Co., and the Arnold Mill company,
OF South Whitley, both of which insti-
buttons are in the hands OF a receiver,
has left the country. His sudden dis
appearance is due to the fact that a
warrant for his arrest was placed in
the hands of the sheriff yesterday. The
charge is embeZzlement. Arnold was
at the head of the bank and mill. and
succeeded III getting away with over
100000 of the hard earned savings of
c0nhding farmers, and $4,000 BUSH
els of wheat which they had
hauled to the mill for Stor-
age. Neither money nor wheat
could be found when the receiver took
charge. When the bank and mill we've
closed, Arnold assured depOSitorS and
creditors that they would receive dollar
for dollar. They placed great confidence
Ill him and rested easy until the re-
celVer made his report, showing that
the bank would pay 10 cents OH the del
lar, and the mill 40 cents. Indignation
ran high. but Arnold for time alayed
the bitter feeling and prevented the
people, whose property had been
squandered. from taking action. They
recently became convinced that he was
playing a game of bluff and raised a
fund of $1,000 with which to prosecute
him. The grand jury was called for
next Monday. and it was the intention
to have him indicted upon several
charges. Arnold was a young man of
exemplary habits. and what became of
the vast sum of money that passed
through his hands is mystery.

regiment, who gave HIM twenty days to
pay his debts or make some satisfactory
arrangement with his creditors. APP
parently tine prince was unable to come
to terms with his creditors. for it is now
announced that he has vanished from the
sight of all his acquaintance and that
the most diligent search has failed to
find any trace of him. Naturally. the
disappearance of the prince has given
rise to several sensational reports. Ac-
cordng to one story, recognizing that
public disgrace was inevitable, and that
his colonel would soon demand his with
drawal from the army, the prince COM
mitted suicide in some manner and in
some place not known up to the PRESENT..
recording to another story the prince
in despair fled from Berlin with young
lady known in theatrical circles and
upon whom Prince Hassam is reported
to have laviShed much money and at
tention. In any case the fact remains
that Berlin is discussing the sensation
caused by the vanishing of the Egyptian
prince, and there is much speculation
among his creditors and others as to his
whereabouts.

CAREER IN BERL IN.
HE sQUANDhIss A BIG FORTUNE

After Playing the Limit With the
Nhvlocks, and Recognizing
That Public Disgrace Was In
eyitable. He Either Committed
Suicide or Disappeared With
an Actress.
BERLIN, Feb. 2-Mllitary and social
circles are discussing sensation which
has been caused by the complete diSap-
pearance of Prince Assn HasSam, a
young Egyptian nobleman, who was
serving in the First dragons i'll garri-
son in this city.
Prince HaSSam, 1t appears, has been
living ia a very eXtrava can't style, en-
ploying a number of servants, and nav
ing a number OF horses and carriages.
At the opera, the theaters, and at sew
eral clubs the young prince was well
known, and was much remarked for his
stylish appearance and extreme liberal
ity.
On the race course Prince Hassam
was a prominent figure, as he was
heavy better and and an unfortunate
hacker of fast steeds. Eventually it be-
came Tumored that he had been losing
great deal OF money on the races and i'll
other manners. Then the prince turned
to the uSurerS and began borrowing
money. They accommodated him for
while, but when his debts amounted to
about SO, 900 they refused 10 advance
him any more money, and the latter
was driven to his wits end in order to
obtain funds.
Times became more and more despe-
rate with the prince, and few days ago
the horses, carriages and effects OF his
were seized, and the matter was brought
&c the attention of the colonel of his
