STRUCK A WRECK.
Result of the Investigation on the Damage
to the Cincinnati.

Washington. November l9.-Acting Secre-
tary of the Navy McAdoo, this morning re-
ceived full report from Capt. Henry Glass
of the accident to the Cincinnati as well as
the preliminary telegraphic statement Of
the New York navy yard as to the amount
and character of the damage to the ship,
as shown. by inspecting her at the dry
docks. From these reports it appears that
the Cincinnati probably struck some sunken
vessel, not rock at first was supposed.
The commandant estimates 1t will take at
least six.weeks to repair the vessel.as asnum-
ber of platter are--bent and the frames under
the boilers are badly distorted. Experts de-
clare it the vessel struck rock the vessel
would have gone down. That the obstrIc-
tion was movable one is shown by the
fact that the hull astern, where the ships
draft is the greatest is upinjured, indioat-
ing that the obstruction was forced aside
after causing the damage. About foot
was knocked off the pro. .,eller blade of the
vessel.

LIVELY SET-TOS.
McAuliff Came Near Finding His Water
loo.

Atlantic Athletic Club, CoLey Island, n.
Y, November l9-Three thousand spectators
assembled at Sea Beach Palace hall tonight
to witness boxing entertainment, given
under the auspices of the Atlantic clup.
The opening event was a ten round bout De-
tween Jere Barnett and the Australian
Billy Murphy. The contest was declared
draw. The second bout was between Johnny
Gorham of Brooklyn and Paddy McBrlde OF
Philadelphia. The fighting was hard ana
lively and Mcbride was badly punished.
The police finally stopped the fight. The
referee declared German the victor. The
final bout was between Jack McAulifFe, the
lightweight champion Of the world, and
Owen Zeigler, the crack lightweight OF
Philadelphia. The men did not weigh in
but Zeigler said that he weighed 1872. and 1t
is said that McAulitfe weighed 1873. Mac had
the better of the first round, but in the
second Zeigler was the aggressor. McAuliife
resorted to rushing, but Zeigler fought
back. 1t was give and take. and question
as to which man had the better of it. In
the third Mac landed heavily on Zeigler's
nose, and soon had him bleeding. A success
sion of savage exchanges followed. Ie1gler
had Mac bleeding profusely and Mac was in
distress. The referee stopped the fight at
the command of the police. The crowd
yelled for decision and the referee an
nounced the bout draw, and stated that
McAuliffe had broken his left hand. The
crowd went away disappointed.

TO ESCAPE TAXES.
The Attempt of the Gould Heirs to Escape
the High Rate of Taxation.

New York. November 19.-By a decision
of Judge Lawrence today. the Gould chill
dren are not relieved from the assessment
upon their personal property in this state,
and upon that of their fathers estate. The
Judge granted an order requiring that the
tax commissioners show cause why they
should not be punished for contempt for
having failed to make returns to the writs
of cert1orari the Gould heirs obtained
several months ago for a review of the as
sessments upon their personal property.
The court decides if the Gould's have ally
just clause or grievance in consequence OF
the delay on the part of the tax commission
ers interposing their returns, their only re-
liel is by proceedingsto punish them for
contempt of court. In conclusion Jud ge
Lawrence decides he can discover no reason
why an order to make the respondents show
cause should not issue. Jay Gould's per-
sonal estate is assessed at $10,000,G GOO in 1888.
and George j. Gould's at S400.0OO. although
he was resident of Lakewood. The Goulds
decided not to make this city their home.
1t was claimed neither the estate nor chill
dren were residents of the county and that
they are not liable to taxation.

protection of Bacchus. 1t seems that
Rowe, when be came to the railroad
crossing, near Half Moon pond, mistook
the way and started down the track, but
why he did not at once know that he
was on the wrong road may possibly be
attributed to JUG that he had in the
wagon. for when the PRESS corrs pond
ent visited the scene of the accident the
remnants of jug and few wagon
spokes were first seen, whilesa few yards
beyond the rest of the wagon and parts
of the harness were lying. The engine
had no pilot, and caught the horse in
such manner that he was carried or
pushed along for nearly a mile before
the train was stopped. Rowe was flung
from the wagon upon the front part of
the engine. where he succeeded in stay

At last accounts Rowe was doing we'll,

and brother, occupied a small house half
mile from the business portion of the

tired, leaving Thomas il. a rocking chair.
At three this morning his sister Mary was
awakened by an agonizing scream from her
mother. When she emerged from the bed
room she found her mother living on the
floor and Thomas stood above her brandish-
ing an aka. The floor was covered with
blood and from the adjoining room her
other brother James could be heard moan
ing in the agony of death. The girl finding
all the doors locked jumped from the win
dow. She remained under the window and
watched her brother at his murderous work
The murderer seized can of coal oil and
after pouring it over the floor and furniture
set il on fire. He drew a butcher knife
across his throat and fell by the side of the
dead mother. The sirl attempted to extin-
guish the flames, but they spread 80 quickly
that in less than ten minutes the house was
like furnace. The cams Of the girl
awakened the neighbors. They rushed to
the scene. but the flames had finished the
work the maniac had commenced. When
the blazing wood cooled sufficiently the
four bodies were found blackened and
charred. They we're Mrs. Portercheck, her
