Its Queer Antics at the Nor
folk Navy Yard.
Two Men Seeking Shelter Under the
Steel Hull of the Raleigh suddenly
Fall Dead-Omcers on the Deck
Feel No Shock-The Vessel Mag
netized-Compass Rendered Uselo So

WAsHINGToN, June 2s.-Reports have
reached the navy department of a remark
able phenomenon which occurred at the
Norfolk navy yard several days ago, in
which two men were instantly killed and
a number of others knocked senseless by
an electrical discharge. Considerable
mystery still exists about the occurrence
and it has not yet been possible TO obtain
full particulars.
1t appears from the account received
that the cruiser Raleigh was in the wooden
dry-dock an 1 a number Of men were work.
Ing on her hull when a thunder storm
swept over the naval station.
The workmen sought shelter under the
vesse., which rested on blocks in the cen.
tire Of the dock
Suddenly, without warning, two of the
men fell dead and most of the others were
knocked senseless by an electrical dis
charge Officers of the vessel who were
sitting about the deck did not feel the
shock, but all the compasses and similar
instruments were affected, and the vessel
has been permanently magnetiZed III such
a manner AS TO render the electric appar-
atus and compass useless without consid-
erable repairs and al djustment.
The only explanation that is offered by
naval officers for the escape OF the officers
of the vessel from the shock was that the
Raleigh was insulated by being on the
blocks, which were dry, while the men
who were killed or injured were in the shall
low water on the bottom of the dock.

The Ford County QIl.) Dem ocrat

says:
"It might not be bad idea for
the President to move the regulars
to Washington and scare congress
a little. The obstruction of tariff
legislation lnterteres very emphat-
icalIy with interstate commerce. "
Wait ~ !, ~ : see what effect will re-
suit fro, e.o President Cleyeland's
letter to Congressman Wilson, which
was read IN the House On the 10Th.
The sound advice contained IN this
document should prove as effective
as the presence OF the entire army
The President concludes his letter
as follows:
"The Democracy of the land
plead most earnestly the speedy
completion Of the tariff legislation
which their representative have
undertaken: but they demand not
less earnestly that no stress of ne
cessity shall tempt those they trust
to the abandonment Of Democratic
principles"

This journal is published on the 1st

many other good reasons the
Journal gives for moving to New

"Observatories are built where
the atmospheric conditions make
observation most easy. The Lum-

If subscribers move to other

The courts have decided that re.

sOR OF MAYNARD
After long cogitation Judge Gaynor last
evening save out the following statement at
Riverhead, l.. l., concerning the action or the

II shall only say that no one has authority
to speak vouch for me In this matter, ana
to be certain that injure no one | shall say

thing to help Senator Hill. whose recent de-

that he is a very able man and should silence
all chickering's against him.
Nothing that could be urged on the Judge
would induce him to talk further.
