'owered by line and guided to Its place
under the ram. AT the proper moment
mother line connecting with the explod-
sng cap must be pulled, and the adjusting
u the motions for tho two was a. matter
Of nice calculation, even when the direct
Ing arm was cool. Here the situation was
one Of hot battle, and Gushing was the
anxious and Responsible conlmander or all
on board and had reserved 70 himself the
task of exploding the terrible weapon. AT
the very moment the exploding cord was
pulled the big gun Of the Albemarle, the
muzzle Of which was not more than ten feet
from Cushings head, blazed out and sent
shot through the launch. The swell oil
the water that WINS lifted by the explosion
of tho torpedo swept wave over the bud
warks Of the launch, and the little craft
was disabled and sinking. The ire from
the rum continued with small arms, and
the hail was given from her deck 20 tho
brave crew In the launch 20 surrender.
Cushing spurned the summons and order
ed his men 10 save themselves. He then
removed his, own coat and shoes and
jumped into the water, with Others, and
swan out into the stream, followed by
scattering rife balls from tho ram.
The situation on the Albemarle mean
time was one Of absolute astoDishment
and terror The launch reached the ram
about O'Clock In the morning, when the
officers and crew were asleep. The watch
cspiod the launch and gave the alarm, the
men rushing 10 quarters for action In bare
feet and In shirt sleeves. Before anything
could bo done to arrest her the adyentur-
Gus boat was 30 close on the ram that the
guns of the latter could not be depressed
to rake her. When the torpedo exploded
and water began 20 rush in through the
six foot aperture made In the hull Of the
Aibomar}e, pumps were set 10 work. But
IL was useless. She went down In few
minutes, carrying everything but hen
crew. She rested on the bottom, with her
iorn plated shield and smokestack above
water.
After numerous adventures and hair
breadth escapes from capture Cushing ap-
propriated an old skif from under the

For this exploit Cushing received the
thanks Of congress. His brother Lieuten-
ant A. II. Cushing, fell at Gettysburg
and another brother, Lieutenant Howard

navy during the war The hero died in
1879 OF brain fever, superinduced by

"ALnRMARLE" CUSHING.


Joy in rebel Plymouth town in the spring Of
sixty-four,
When the Albemarle down on the Yankee
frigstcs bore,
With the saucy stars and bars at her main,
When she smote the southfeld dead, and the
stout Miami quailed,
And the feet in terror fed when their mighty
cannon hailed
Shot and shell on her iron back in vain,
Till she slowly steamed away to her berth at
Plymouth pier,
And their quick eyes saw her sway with he,
great beal out of gear,
And the color of their courage rose again.
& Cushing. scarce man In years,
Bnt n sailor thoroughbred,
"With dozen volunteers
will sink the ram, 4" he said.
"At the worst 'tis only dying" And the old
commander, signing,
"'Tis to savo the feet and flag. Go ahead!"
Bright the rebel beacons blazed
On the river Kft and right.
Wide awake their sentries razed
Throughthe watches Of the night.
Sharp their challenge rang, and fiery came
the rifles quick inquiry
AS tho little launch swung into the light
Listening ears afar had heard.
Ready hands TO quarters sprung.
The Albemarle awoke and stirred,
And her howitzers gave tongue,
Till the river and the shore echoed back the
mighty roar
When the portals of her hundred Founders
swung.
Will the sword8sh brave the whale
Doubly girt with boom and chaina
Face the sSrapnel's iron hail?
Dare the livid leaden rainY
Ah, that she'll has done its duty; it has spoiled
the Yankees beautyl
See her turn and fly With hall her madmen
slaini
High the victors' taunting yell
Rings above the battle roar,
And they bid her mock farewell
As she seeks the farther shore,
Till they see her sudden swinging, crouching
for the leap and sprin ging
Back TO boom and chain and bloody fray
once more.
Now tho southern captain, stirred
BY the spirit of his race,
Stops the firing with word,
Bids them yield and offers grace.
Cushing, laughing answers, "No: we are here
10 fight" and SO
Swings the dread torpedo spar 10 its place.
Then the great ship shook and reeled
With wounded, gaping side.
But her steady cannon pCalod
Ere she settled in tho tide,
And the Roanokc's dull flood ran full red with
Yankee blood.

New York, Oct. 2.-Clubbing by

of the efforts of the West Twenty

Alexander S. Williams sent ward

TIN PLATE PLANTS CLOSE.
Workmen Demand the Same Scale
Wages Under Reduced Tariff.

Workmen Demand the Same Scale of
Wages Under Reduced Tariff.
PITTsBURG, Sept. 29.-Tonight all
the TIN plate factories in the country
will close down. There is a wide diff
ference between the manufacturers and
workers on the subject Of wages The
workmen insist that notwithstan ding
TIE reduction Of July the wages agreed
upon in June must be paid the remain
der of tie scale year.
Two important reasons are given for
the action taken by the manufacturers.
One is that the closing Of the factories
is being doue to discourage prospective
builders Of tinplate plants. There are
at least 10 i'll the course Of erection in
the United States, while the manu-
facturers of tinplale machii cry are en-
larging their works. It was decided to
put up some of these factories after il
was known the cut il the duty would
be cent per pound.
Another reason given by manufac-
tnrers is thai under Secretary Carlisle's
ruling 46, COO coo pounds OF tin plate
now III bond can be bought by paying
the new tariff. This will fill all de-
mands for some time to come. On the
other hand, the workmen assert that
the shut down is merely q scheme Of
the manufacturers to compel their en-
pioyes to work for less wages.

there is no appropriation from which
the expense Of such inspection can be
paid and that there is no United States

val Officers To Be Created.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-When the
new navy came into being the ships
generally having little or no sailing
power or rigging, it was supposed the
old-fashioned boatswain could be gen
orally dispensed with. Ii fact, the num-
ber Of these warrant officers was con-
siderably reduced. their duties being
transferred to the executive officers and
bos'n's mates. Now it has been found
that the plan has worked badly. Iii
the first place there is much work re-
naming for the boatswain in connec-
ton wlth,,boats. ground tackle. rigging,
care Of stores aud other things and ea-
ecutive officers are already an over
worked class OF men on our completed
modern ships ana unable TO carry
other responsibilities than those prop
erIy belonging to their offices.
In the second place the change has Il
most discouragirg e effect upon the sail
ors, all the way down to apprentices,
who were thersby deprived of the in
ducement held out by possible promo
ton. Consequently the best men te-
gan to drop out. until now it is difficult
10 get them TO re-enlist when their
terms expire. So Secretary Herbert
has determined 10 again change the
policy of The department and TO in
crease the number Of boatsWains.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Oct. 2.-The
state and county election, held in this
city today, resulted in q tangle which
it will probably take the courts to
straig ghten out.
The fight is between two factions Of
the democratic p arty. and bids fair to
lie c,osa one. In consequence of fraud
having been threatened by the faction
holding the appointing power of in
spectors, deputy sherilis walked into
each polling place and signified their
intention Of remaining. The inspect.
ors all over the city thereupon closed
the booths, awaiting Instructions from
the leaders. A compromise was effected
in several Of the wards in q short time
and voting was resumed. but in three
Of the mos; popuIous wards not one
vote was cast.
Governor Mitchell yesterday Or
dered Judge Austin to this city, aud all
day state troops were under arms at
their quarters, but were not needed.
Tie main issue Of the fight was the
railroad commission and the alleged
attempt of 8 railroad corporation TO
capture The next Legislature.
