AFFAIRS OF THE NAVY.
The Annual Report Submitted by secre.
tary Herbert.

tary Herbert.
WASHINGTON, November 20. - The
Secretary Of the Navy in his annual re-
port says that the Marblehead, Column
bia, Olympia, Montgomery and Mime
apolis have been completed and tried
since the last annual report. The Ore
gon, Indiana and Texas have had un-
official preliminary trials and the Maine
her official machinery trial. The de-
partment has finally decided upon the
construction OF topedo boats OF the gem
eral type OF the Ericsson with slightly
greater displacement, and to attain an
average speed OF not less than 24.5 knots
on the acceptance trial. ADVERTISE
ments for proposals have already been
issued, and the department hopes to
award the contract for their construction
within few months. No speed premi-
uns will be provided for in the con-
tracts for the building Of these vessels.
In the contracts for the construction of
gunboats Nos. z, Sand 9small premiums
and penalties were provided for. This
system undoubtedly had its advantages
when adopted, but reflection has con-
vnced the department that the time has
come when, with the experience that
has been gained, it may with profit be
abandoned. The construction OF torpedo
boats is still actively carried on abroad,
seventeen countries having 1888 such
vessels on hand and 1872 in course Of con-
struction. The smallest number pos
sessed by any one OF them is twenty
| two, while the United States with more
seacoast and more ports than any of
these nations has OF this class of naval
vessels only six, and in this number are
| included the three now about to be built.
| A summary of the conditions of the
vessels under construction is as follows !:
| The first.cl battle-ship Iowa is ex-
pected to be completed during the latter
part OF 1896. The first-class battle-ships
Indiana, Massachusetts, and Oregon will
| be in condition for acceptance by the
The second-class battle-ship Maine will
| be ready for commissioning before the
end OF this fiscal year. The second-class
ba,tle-ship Texas is practically ready for
her machinery trial, and should be COM
pleted and ready for commissioning a
few months later. The armored cruiser
Brooklyn is expected to be completed
during the early months OF 1896. The
double turreted monitors Puritan and
Monadnock will probably be ready for
trial before the end OF this fiscal year.
Work on the double-turreted monitors
Terror and Amphitrite is go well ad-
vanced that in case OF an emergency
these vessels could be prepared for serv-
ice within few months. The armored
ram Katahdin will probably be COM
pleted during the early part OF the next
fiscal year. The three gunboats Nos. Z
s and 8, now being built at the Newport
News Ship building and Dry Dock Com
pany's works, will probably be completed
within the contract time.

WILL FALL ON SMALL INVESTORS
Two Per Cent to be Deducted From
Earnings to Pay Income Tax.

Two Per Cent to be Deducted From
Earnings to Pay Income Tax.
New YORK, November 29.-The action
OF the Catawissa railway directors (the
road leased to the Philadelphia and Read
ing) in deducting 2 per cent from the
net earnings TO meet the new income tax
has created some CONSERVATION among
small investors, who had believed they
were safe SO long as their annual incomes
were within the $4,000 limit. "Our road
has not taken any action in the matter, !"
said Chauncey NJ. Depew. Some time
ago delivered an opinion at board
meeting that the law was unconstitu-
tional, and | believe it is. In the first
place do not believe the law will ever
be put into force. There is no appropri-
alton adequate for the purpose, and un-
less the present Congress provides money
before next March the law becomes in
operative. II the law is carried out,
presume that the New York Central aud
all other roads will deduct the amount
OF the tax from their earnings, in which
case twill fall on the stockholders. This
makes the law pretty hard on investors
who own small holdings of stock, but
whose incomes DO not even approach the
limit established by the new law"

MAKING HIMSELF POPULAR.
The Course OF the New Gear Satisfies tho
Russian Popuiace.

sT. PETERSBURG, November 30.-The
popularity OF the Gar increases daily,
owing TO his unaffected ways and the
fact that he Is dispensing with the mill
tary police and body guards Of the police.
His order withdrawing the troops from
the line Of the route upon his wedding
day has produced good effect. The
crowds were unable to believe they would
be allowed to stand and witness the pro-
cession without the invariable hedge OF
soldiers, and when they saw this was the
fact the populace were frantic with de.
light, and expressed satisfaction in o
thousand ways. There is no doubt q
marked change has taken place every
where in st. Petersburg life in conse-
quence OF the Cars admirable policy.
II Is estimated that his manifesto RENTS
about 5000 roubles in taxes to the poor.

4 Fearful Tragedy.

Blackville yesterday was the scene OF n
fearful tragedy in which two lives were lost;
one a Stute constable, John Gribbcn, and
the other Solomon Brown. son of one OF
Blackville'S largest merchants. The canse
of the unfortunate affair appears to be that
Constable Gribben and thc Brown family
were at cnmlty for sometime back, and yes
terday Gribbeu went to the dcpct and
searched for contraband llqnor. He
opened It box Of clothing which wa; ccn-
signed TO Simon Brown.
Shortly after 2 o'clock Simon Brown, the
father, meeting Gribben IN the street, re-
preached him for opening this particular
package, accusing him of persecution. The
argument was warm AMI Simon Brown was
Joined by his three sons Solomon. Isadore,
and Herman. Gribbcn offered to fight ar Y
one of them and Isadore Brown, :. youth
about &c years Of age. promptly accepted
the challenge, asking him to remove his
coat aud official badge. Gribbcn struck in
the direction Of Isadore Brown. who par.
ried the blow, knocking Gribbcn against
the vail of George 4. Stills store. At this
h,nctura pistols were drawn by Solomon
Brown, Herman Brown and Gribben and
six or seven shots were fired in rapid sue
cession Gribben was shot through the
left shoulder and near the heart, the ball
entering the left lung, and staggered into
Mr.. Stills store, firing at Solomon Brown,
who fell half way to the gronnd ut the first
shot, which was quickly followed by two or
three others one Of which took effect in the
head, penetrating the b,ain, another in the
right side and a third entered at the back,
perforating the heart. causing almost in
st INT death Young Browns remains were
carried to his home by friends. WHO quickly
reached the scene Of the awful tragedy.
Gribben, after being shot, walked through
Mr. Stilrs store to the back yard. where he
fell and died within ten minutes.

Paw i0ur Debts.

The people Of this country have passed
through one OF the hardest years S!ncc
Sherman and Potter swept over the land
with their armies OF devastation. Many n
day during the passed summer did some Of
our farmers toll in the broiilnG sun with
scanty food, and many a night did they lay
down to rest only to spend slccpless
NIGHT prayiug that starvation be held away
from the wife and little ones; a,d had It
not been for the merchants OF our town
and county, there Is no telling what the eX-
tent of the suffering might haze been.
These merchants, IL order TO assist the
people to keep the wolf from! the door,
made the greatest kind Of sacrifices; they
went to the money lender and pledged
their all in order to get The means. and
then had to take what they could se;, not
what they asked for. Not that the money
lender had lost faith n onr merchants. but
the demands upon those with money was
made from every Quarter, aat tn" supply
was Gueunal to the demand. E%tri,or,t!-
nary collateral was required to procure the
necessary means to help our farmer, and
this collateral must be taken mp or the mer-
chant is ruined That which he pledged to
keep suffering from the homes 81 onr farm
ers will be taken and the farmer as well as
the merchant must sink. We arc not paint
ing picture Of fancy; it Is one, we are
loathcd 70 say, OF cold truths, and the peo-
Ole should take them into consideration
and make every effort to help the merchant
redeem the collateral he gave to tide over
the disastrous cloud that WIS so threaten
insly hanging over our people th!S SUM-
r:er. The farmer is not to blame tor the
tight times, nor is the merchant, and We do
not know exactly where to look for the
Cause; but Il mutterS not what the cause,
