Boston, Nov.l22.-Distingui speak

the Home Market club in Mechanics

When President Bent raped for or

cent victory as establishing the prin-
ciples of the club, he introduced Cover

The next speaker was Senator Hoar,
who was greeted with three cheers and
frequently applauded. His speech was
entirely devoted to a recital of the vic
tory attained by the Republican party
in the recent elections.
Senator .Hoar was followed by eX-

enthusiastic cheering, the audience CIV

Reed said:

wisdom for two years We will be trusted
for more, and the wisdom for the next
two years seem to be easy. We have
neither the president nor the senate and
all we can do is to let the country try
the results of the folly of 1892. 1t is a
poor prospect but it is all there is
There are compensations, however. We

our time has fully come. So far, we have
done all that lay in our power The bad
work cannot go on, even if the good work

Tifin, o., Nov. 22-General William
Harvey Gibson, well known through
out the length and breadth of the land
as General Bill Gibson, the silver
tongued orator" died this evening. He
was born in jefferson county, Ohio,
seventytwo years ago. No political
campaign, state or national was
thought to be thoroughly inaugurated
until the clarion notes of "Bill" Gibson
were heard in behalf of the principles
and policies of the Republican party.
Atsolders' reunions, pioneers meetings,
etc, he was always in great demand
and the announcement that he had
promised to be present would invari-
ably attract larger attendance than
all other inducements combined.
Upon the outbreak of the war, Cen
eral Gibson raised the Forty-ninth regi-
ment and was commissioned its colonel.
While leading charge at the battle Of
Shiloh he received severe bayonet
wound and had three horses shot under
him. Soon, however, he was again at
the head of his regiment and gallantly
served until the end of the war.

dentally Damaged by One of the
Chinese Torpedoes and Beached.

Washington, Nov. 22.-The navy de-
partment today received a cablegram
from an officer of the American fleet in
China, detailed for the purpose of CIV
ing confidential information of impor-
tant events in the Eastern war, stating
that the Chen Yuen, the great Chinese
battleship in leaving WeiHai-Wei har-
Dor on Nov. Is was accidently damaged
by torpedo and was afterwards
beached. There being no docking fa-
cilities, she is therefore now useless
Commodore Lin, who was in command
of the vessel, anticipated official con-
demnation by committing suicide.
Wei-Hai- iharbor Is directly across
the bay of Korea from Talien Wan
distant $50 miles, and 1t is significant
that the Japanese admiral, Ito, tele-
graphed to his government under date
of the 18th from Talien Wan stating
that the principal Chinese fleet with
four gunboats was lying inside the har-
Dor at Wei-Hai-Wei and that, although
for two days the Japanese fleet had
made every effort to induce the Chinese
'N'SNio ~ NOhiV Out' thtll
proved fruitless. The admiral appears
then to have returned to Talien Wan,
probably on the 18th, leaving a portion
of his fleet watching for the appear
ance of Chinese vessels outside of Wei
Hai-Wei.
Fell Into Her Own Trap.
The Chen Yuen possibly came out to
attack the japanese fleet when she
touched upon one of the submarines
which the Chinese themselves had
placed in the channel of the harbor, as
a means of defense.
With the loss of the Chen Yuen, her
greatest battleship, China has become
practically powerless on the sea. This
splendid vessel was very much like the
Maine of the United States navy. Her
length was 30S feet, beam So feet, and
draught 20 feet. She had belt of IA
inch composite armor, her turrets be-
ing II inches thick. She was armed
with four 12-inch Krupp guns, two of
fifteen centimeter caliber, four of one
ton, eight machine guns, two light
rapid fire rifles and was provided with
two torpedo launching tubes. She was
finished at a cost of about $4,000, 900 in
1882. Her speed was fourteen and one
half knots and her bunkers held 1000
tons of coal.

d. ID. Davies Places His Mother in the
AImshouse During Temporary Absence,
On Returning Finds Her Dead Body
Was Sent to a Medical College.
By the United Press.

BY the United Press.
Philadelphia, Nov. 22.-D D. Davies,
of bloomsbury, Columbia county, has
been to this city upon fruitless search
after the remains of his mother Davies
father died in 1876, and from that time
until about ten months ago the son
cared for his mother, even when she be-
came so helpless that he had to dress
her in the morning and undress her at
night. Davies business called him away
form home, and his mother being un-
able to prepare meal for herself, the
son took her to the almshouse of Lu-
zerne county. He also asserts that he
made diligent efforts and was unable
to employ any one to care for the aged
woman.
According TO Davies story he left
word with the superintendent of the
almshouse to notify him at Blooms
burg in case his mother died. Then the
agent went on his tour going to
Rochester and Buffalo, N. Y, and as
far west as Amherst, Ohio, leaving
word at the various postoiIices to for
ward his mail Returning to the Lu-
Zerne county almshouse last Saturday
he found that his mother had died on
September IS and that her body had
been turned over to the Anatomical
board in Philadelphia.
Search for the Body.
Then Davies came post haste to this
city in search for the body. He. ascer-
tanned that it had been duly received, a
record being kept of it, and he was in
formed that If it was possible to col
lect the parts it would be returned to
him again and If he was able he would
be expected to reimburse the anatom-
ical board for its outlay. An attempt
to collect the parts, however disclosed
that they had all been cremated.
Davies threatens to prosecute the au-
thorities of Luzerne county for turn
ing the body over to the anatomical
board without notice to him of his
mothers death.
1t is claimed that notice was sent as
Davies directed, but he failed to re-
ceive it on account Of his absence. from
his usual place of residence. The law
which was enacted to prevent the desc
Grafton of graves by supplying medical
colleges with bodies of paupers provides
that the officers of almshouses shall
turn over all unclaimed bodies to the
anatomical board, and the officers claim
that their act was in compliance with
this statute.
