A VALUABLE LESSON.
0aaeiais of. the Navy Take Hints From
 She CoreAn War.

WASHINGTON, Oct 2.-One valuable lesson which the officials of the navy department consider has been taught by the great naval engagement between the Japanese and Chinese fleets at the mouth of Yalu river is the absolute ne- cessity of maintaining the lvyyards' re- pair shops and store rooms in readiness for instant service. According to cable reports both of the fleets engaged i'll the Yalu river fight sustained great damage At the conclusion of the fight each side withdrew to their nearest respective dock yards for repairs. Each fleet is well nigh disabled for further opera tions.
 If the Chinese yards, which are noto. riousIy i'll equipped and mismanaged are unable to complete the rspair of their fleet in six weeks, which is about the time allowed here by naval experts, while the Japanese put th5ir vessels in shape for service i'll two weeks, as they count on doing, they will be masters oi the Yellow sea and can inflict enormous damage on China. landing troops from transports at the very door of Pekin and Yaysging the coast, all of which demon. strates the great value of good dock yards.
 Naturally this has turned the stten- ton of naval officers to the considera. tion of our own resources in that line, and there is seen 10 be pressing need fol radical reform in the system at some points Some of our yGrds are well equipped with modern pl tnts for shiI building and for extensive repairs New York aud Norfork, for instance but in almost every other place the yards are filled with antiquated tools and lumber and shiphouses, all very useful in the old days of wooden ships but now positive ineum brance to the work.
 At New York, these and other facts have strongly impressed thoughtful na val officers with the belief that some thing must be done to put all our navy yards and stations in good condition, tc modernize them and equip them 80 that they shall be available at short notice for in thus. days war comes like light ming from summer sky, the actua declaration following instead of pre- ced.ng hostilities, and the nation in su perior readiness taking quick sdyant age of that fact. Probably Boston navy yard will be first to feel the effect ol this policy oi rehabilitation of yards, ant others will follow as fast as congress can b, induced by urgent representa- tions b appropriate the necessary funds

 PlrTsBURa, Oct. 9.-The sensational charge of Attorney 4. H. Rowand, that the grand jury had been corrupted te secure the throwing out of the indiet. ment against John Murphy, director public safety of Alleghenny City, proved complete fzzle.

THE LONG LOST FOUND.
How John Courcey Discovered
 His Aged Mother.
ABSENT FOR OVER FIFTY YEARS.

Her Whereabouts Were Learned by fn-
 serting an Advertisement In a News
 psper-she Was s Convert to mor-
 naonism and Wont to Utah. Where
 She Hs at Present Residing.
 BUTTE, Mont, Oct. 2.-A few months ago John Courcey, s hotelkeepsr at Barker. Mont, and well known through out the state, applied to an attorney to assist him in procuring 8 pension to which he was entitled by reason of his having been a soldier in the Mexican war, as we'll ne veteran of the late civil war. In the course of the business he gave the attorney sketch of his life, which contained some interesting pAr- ticulars
 His father and mother lived in New York in l8l2, and his father fell vic- tim of ths cholera plague which swept the country about that time. After ward his mother went to live in Con- necticut
 When about lS years old Coureey ran away from home and went to work driving horses on canal in Now York state. After following this business for about six months, he returned to his home and learned that during his ab- sence his mother had become s convert to Mormonism and had followed the prophet, Joseph Smith, to Nauyoo, Ills,
 The lad followed his mother to that place, working his way by slow stages. On his arrival there that morning he learned that the Mormons had been dis persed, and As near as he could learn they had gone to Council Bluffs, Ia. He followed them to that place and then learned that ths Mormons had taken their departure into unknown wilds. as it was then called, and afterwards he heard of the founding of Salt Lake. H. however gave rp all hopes of seeing his mother ever again and went to work on river steam boat, finally enlisting in the Mexican WAT. and again with tbe Union troops in the civil WAT. At the close of ths war he came west and To- cated in Montana. and here he has been ever since.
 When his attorney heard the story ne suggested that Mir. Courcey might ob- tain some news of his mother by writ ing to ons of ths Mormon elders in Sall Lake City and he did SO. The con- tnunicaton was inserted in Salt Lake City newspaper, and during the past week no less than score of letters were received from children, grandchildren and other relatives of the lost woman. From the tone of these letters it appears that on arriving in Salt Lake City Mary 1 Geureey. the mother, marr.ed Mormon and had large family, III my of whom are now well-to-do and prominent per sons in Utah territory.
 Tine mother is still alive, al though 0i years old, aud Mir. Courcey finds that instead of being alone in the world, as he supposed, he has scores of relatives in l Utah. He will leave in few days for Salt Lake City to meet his mother, after having lost her for 69 years, and make the acquaintance of host of relatives through her second marriage.
