!Srectal telegram 10 rs RsCiTy.
STEUBENvILLE, q, May 21.-Judge
Mansfield at half-raSt nine o'clock
oYerruled the demurrer entered by the
attorneys for w. K. Johnson, whereby
thew sought to set aside the Indictment
found by the grand jury in which he was
held responsible Tor apprG7riating
money to his own use belonging TO tine
CITY while acting as its agent.
Johnson at the time held the position
Of City Clerk, aud under an ordinance
of the city collected moneys for street
assessments, sewer assessments, cleo
tric light, etc, aud used some $500 OF
it for other purposes. lie was hrSt In
dicted for embezzling money belonging
TO the city while acting as City Clerk,
but the city ordinance giving him this
right was decided contrary TO the con-
stitution and the indictment was dis
missed. Prosecutor Erskine then
caused his arrest for embezzling money
while acting as agent for the city, and
lis ATTORNEYS filed a demurrer 10 dis
miss this indictment, claiming lie could
not act as agent while holding the posi-
tion OF City Clerk: The decision this
morning, which is understood to be the
opinion of both judges Mansfield and
Douthill. fails to substantIate this claim
and the trial will now be held on the
question as to whether or not johnson
auproDriated the money.
At about two o'clock this afternoon
an alarm Of fro was turned In, caused
by a blaze In the frame building owned
by Mrs. Lowden BOreland, on South
Fourth street, and occupied by Joe Lee
as laundry. The flames commuri-
Gated with the frame building adjoin-
ing owned by Mrs. w. c. Myers and oc-
cupied by James Baer e Bro. as meat
store and Mrs. Fecke as a millinery
store. On account Of the rain the
flames did not gain much Roadway and
were easily controlled by the fire de-
partmont The loss on the buildings
and contents is estimated at $1,000, COW
cred by insurance.

DEATH OF ANN REBEooA JOHNSON
a Well Known Christian Lady Passes
Away at the Home of ID. G. List


There passed away yesterday fore
noon at the residence OF d. c. List,
ESQ, Ann Rebecca Johnson. She was
subject TO heart troub BILE, and one week
ago her right side was paralyzed, since
which time she has fingered nearly I'M
conscious and able to take but the
slightest nourishment. She was born
near Win chester, Va, was the young
est of five or six children, and lived TO
the good old age Of almost II years.
The last half of her life, or 81 years,
has been spent in the family of MIR. List.
During that time she served them faith
fully and had grown into the affection
OF every member OF the large family.
She was noted for good cooking, and
her hospitable nature knew no bounds.
She likewise was very generous, con-
stantly sending all kinds Of help to
those who, absent from her, were yet
more or less dependent upon her. She
was a person Of good mind; enjoyed
reading very much, and had fine pow
RS of selecting that which was best.
She was brought to Christ under d..
L. Moody when he first visited Wheel
lUE. IltI COQFtlS W oc EOHuihOs bAN
ner faith has been abiding. She was
naturally greatly attached to Mr..
Moody, and only short time since,
whe 4 the likelihood of his coming to
Pittsburg was mentioned, wished she
were able TO go there and listen TO him
once ogain. She has had good home
at Mr.. Lists, and the best care was
taken Of her at all times, and to the
end. Her older sister, Jane, was also
10 Mr.. Lists household for 81 years.
Both sisters were well known to a large
number of persons, and highly re-
spected and beloved, and they both
sleep in the Christian hope of eternal
life.
At the time that Beckie Johnson was
stricken, Mrs. d. c. List was so ever
come that she also was paralyzed in the
right hand and right foot Mrs. List is
improving, and there is every hope and
pros pect for her recovery. The fun eral
service at the residence will, in conse-
quence, be private, as well as the inter
ment, which is at Greenwood.

ROBIN HOOD.

robin Hood" the charming opera
which will be produced at the Opera
House tonight is a recordbreaker Of
the most pronounced type, its success
being unequalled in the history Of
American opera comiQue. For five
months within one year it held the New
York public to such an extent that
throughout that time the Garden
Theatre was sold out two weeks in sd.
vance al 50 q seat The reason of its
wonderful popularity is clear. There
is not q single dull moment in the opera
from the rising Of the curtain upon the
market place OF Nottingham till the
last act has been concluded and the sly
old sheriff is defeated in his scheme to
separate the lovers, Robin Hood and
Maid Marian, and to pocket their for
tunes.

BERKELEY,

The municipal ferry scheme, whose ex-
istence is as yet high up inlthe rarefed
atmosphere Of speculation, continues to be
talked of as feasible and. perhaps, prob
able. The citizens who are pushing the
plan are d. II. Bruins, w. II. Rutledge,
Charles W. Davis, Ed F. Niehaus, otto
Niehaus, Michael Curtis, Charles Hadlen
and Ernest Niehaus, all of West Berkeley.
The possibility of bonding the town for
the amount needed has been questioned.
The originators of the plan expect to raise
by private subscription the $3.50, 900 or
more necessary above the bond funds
to construct the boats and build the
electric line. A town may bond itself for
but for per cent Of its assessed valuation.
That of Berkeley last year was $1,000, 600,
making the amount of bonds possible
$780, 900. 1t has al eady bonds to the
amount of $4,000 sewers $4,000,
schools $50, 900 and electric light $40 600
besides an expected bonding of $50, 600 for
high school, This would leave less than
100000 of the 5000 required that could
be raised by bonds. The movers hope at
mass-meeling soon to be held to get the
public to see this matter as they do.

EVOLUTIONS OF The MAST.
Old and New Forms of War Vessels
Machinery and Inventions.

Nothing is more conspicuous in naval
warfare than the evolution of the mast of
the modern man-of-war. There is very
little OF 1t nowadays in comparison with
the labyrinthian sail ami rope work of
oden times.
A large frigate used to carry three
masts-the foremost, the mainmast and
the mizzenmast. Most of the giant iron
clad vessels Of the present day carry
no tackle at all and only large signal
mast. This Transformation, of course,
induced quite change in the cODstruc-
ton of the artillery tops. In former
times the tops did not only serve for the

with ladder from the outside. Several
large guns are on the two lower plat
forms, and in many of the steel masts
there are elevators for the hosting of am
munition.
Our ironclads are not much improved in
appearance through these innovations, for
the old sailing warships looked magnifi-
cent and commanding when seen in full
rigging. The armored ships of to-day are
monstrous war machines. but beauty and
poesy have little akin with fin de steele
machinery and ventiOns.-Chicago Inter-
