Man Killed.
Associated Press.

Port Townsend, Dec. 12-The steamer
Bertha, from OunalaslSa, tonight
brought the British ship Scottish Dale,
of Liverpool Captain Timothy McCar-
thy, into port, PARTLY dismantled. The
ship was bound from San Francisco to
Astoria for wheat. She left san Fran
cisco December I'd, and three days later
reached the Columbia river. The gale
ON Saturday increased to a hurricane,
which tore away the sails and brought
down the fore topmast and all fore
Yards and main upper yards. The crew
became frightened and wanted TO
abandon the vessel Sunday the gale
subsided and left the vessel rolling,
when the ballast shifted, injuring three
men. The ballast was righted and
soon the gale came up again, blowing
away more sails. The officers and crew
mutinied and refused to obey the COM
,rIands of the captain. The latter arm
ed himself and prevented them from
feaving the ship. On several occasions
the ship was close in shore and in great
danger. Twice she got inside the light
ship at the Columbia river, when the
gale drove her out to sea. Yesterday
morning she headed toward the straits
of Juan de Fuca, but was unable to
make the cape. In trying to launch a
boat, one man was dashed against the
side of the ship and killed. The ship
was slowly drifting toward the YAM
couver shore when the steamer Bertha
hove In sight and took her in tow at
8 o'clock last night. The damage win
be $4,000.

THE CUSHINGS TRIP.

Through the Chesapeake aud Delaware

The experiment of sending the torpedo
boat Gushing INLAND to Now York By
the canals and Delaware river has been
made the subject of an interesting re
port By Lieutenant Fletcher, her com
mander. The Navy department wished
to learn If it was feasible to dispatch
fleet OF boats of this class from New
York to Washington in short time and

running time through the canals was III
hours at a speed of knots per hour,
The rum ing time between Washington
aid Brooklyn was SO houls and 40
minutes.
While the regulations Of the Chesa-
peake canal limit the speed to four miles
per hour, the Gushing was permitted to
proceed at such i speed as would not
injure the canal banks by the wash of
the waves. The limit OF speed for the
Cushing could not be ascertained
accurately in the canal owing TO the
darkness, the boat having entered the
locks at Chesapeake City at eight O'clock
the evening of May 9th. But it was
estimated tAat from seven to eight
miles per hour could be maintained with
out difficulty or fear of injury to the
banks
In the Delaware and Rarilan canal
the sides are walled with stone which
are much better Tor resisting the wash.
II was found that at whatever speed the
Cushing was run there was no bow
wave and very little disturbance IN the
water.
Captain Fletcher in liosiug his report
says: No difficulty need be expected
with vessels of the Cushing class in pass
ing through those canals either by day
or night. Under favorable conditions
speed of six miles may be maintained
including locks and slowing down for
passing traffic. A torpedo boat like the
Gushing, fully equipped for attack and
steaming continuously with one boiler
at the speed of 10 knots per hour, will
leave the crew in good condition for any
emergency at the end of forty or fifty
hours.

Cut Straw and Eggs,

An cid farmer who secures eggs all
through the winter, when asked for his
secret, replied that he gave his hens
plenty of cut straw. For long while
there was much unbelief in the reply, as
it was supposed that tie farmer was
feeding cut straw to his hens according
to his statement; but when the facts
came out, it appeared that the cut straw
was really the secret, but it was used,
four inches deep, on the floor OF the
poultry house, in which millet SEED and
wheat were scattered, the hens thereby
beng provided with warm place to
work. The cut straw gave them a
scratching bed, aud it kept them in exer-
else, preventing disease and promoting
the appetite.
1t will pay better, if the matter of
profit from returns is considered, to use
straw in the poultry house than in the
cow stall. Many cold poultry houses
can be rendered comfortable with straw
cut to three inch lengths, on the floor,
and if the hens are warm aud can exer-
else, the cost will be less and tho num-
Der of eggs greater.
