Old Friends at Outs,

Nelson Morris filed an aSsumpsit suit
in the Circuit Court At Chicago against
the American Distiiling and Cattle Feed
ing Company for $4,000. He had a
contract with the company to feeu 40
600 head of cattle. beginning Oct. / Of
this year. The greatest number of cattle
that can be fed by the company is 5000
or one-cighth of the number named in the

failure will occasion serious loss TO him,
and he therefore brings suit.

The NictherOy's Chief Engineer Talks
About Her Dynamite Gun.

SOUTHAMPTON, April 6.-The steamship
Mile from Rio de Janeiro and other Bra
lillian ports. arrived here to-day and
brought, among her passengers. Chief En-
gineer G. Van Iderstine, formerly of the
dynamite cruiser Nictheroy. Accompanying
the chief engineer were his assistant engi-
neers, Alonzo Allen and Jefferson Smith,
and fifty former members of the crew of
the Nictheroy. Chief Engineer Van Ider-
stine and his two assistants will sail for
New York tomorrow. In an interview Mr..
Van Iderstine said the machine guns of the
cruiser worked perfectly, and that during
practice with the dynamite guns shells
We're thrown an immense distance with

pressure of 100 pounds of steam. When the
Nictheroy was stationary off the coast or
in harbor she was moored to a buoy, and,
by simply knocking out a pin, she could
be got almost Immediately under way. In
fact, finally the ship was In such a state of
effectiveness that only three minutes were
required to get her ready for motion. The
Iderstine, was ended by the engagement in
which Admiral Da CANA lost, at the battle
OF Armaco, all his best officers and about
three hundred killed and wounded of the
small force composing his command. The
chief engineer speaks highly of the treat

Brazilian government, and says that the

MID TOWERING BERGS
Experience of a British Ship
Among Mountains of Ice.
Lord Roseberys Cabinet i'm Danger of
Defeat-The Cruiser NictherOy
and Her Dynamite Gun.

LONDON, April 6.-The British ship Full
wood. Captain Lewis. which sailed from
San Francisco Nov. 7, for Queenstown,
rived at the latter port ,o-day. Captain
Lewis reports that on Jan. 16, in latitude
81, SOUTH the Fulwood entered vast field
of icebergs that had drifted from the Ant
arctic ocean. Some of the bergs were Of
gigantic SIZE being at least five miles
long, and towering to heights of six hun
dred feet. At one tine there were counted
from the maintop OF the ship AS of these
ice mountains Sometimes some of them
would drift together, crashing against each
other with tremendous violence, when thou
sands of tons of ice would be detached and
drop into the sea with laundering crashes.
Had the vessel been caught between two
of these colliding bergs she would have
been ground TO atoms. Fortunately, how
ever, the wind held from the same direction
for the four days that the Fulwood was
among the bergs. and to this alone was due
it's escape. Quite heavy sea was running.
and several times when the Fulwood had
one of these enormous bergs close aboard
she encountered a dangerous back wash.
Tons OF water was thrown upon her decks
from the back wash, but her matches being
protected by heavy tarpaulins no water
reached the cargo. The nOrthward drift or
all the bergs was at about the same rate
of speed, and Captain Lewis expressed the
opinion that they would reach much lower
latitude before they would lose their dan
gerous character. After four days of the
most exciting experience the Fulwood
dropped the bergs astern, and finally
reached port without further adventure.

TO CURE INEBRIETY
Remarkable Law Just Passed by
the Maryland Legislature.
Confirmed DrunkardS or Drug Users
Who Apply to the Court to Be Cured
at the States Expense.
Snecial 70 the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, April 6-Considerable in
terest is being manifested in Washington in
a very remarkable piece of legislation which
has become a law in the State OF Maryland
by enactment Of the recently adjourned AS
sembly of that State. It is known as ''The
Avlrett Inebriety Act" and provides that
any habftual drunkard or drug user in the
State who desires to be cured OF his Dis
ease may go before any judge of the Cir
cult Court of the county of his residence
or the city OF Baltimore If he lives therein
and petition the court to send him to such
institution for the medical treatment of
drunkenness located In the State as shall
show the greatest per cent. of cures and
fewest number of relapses from sworn
statements filed with the judges and Secre-
tary Of State. This practically means the
Keeley Institutes, of course
The author Of the bill. Col. Philip w.
Avirett, of Cumberland, himself reformed
drunkard, claims that while the act will
involve a large expenditure of money for
the first few years 1t is in force, that 1t
will ultimately save the State vast sums Of
money, he has collected sta tistics which
show that GO per cent of the crimes occur
ring in the State of Maryland directly
traceable to what he calls rum offenses."
The cost of each case Is limited TO S100, and
no man can be treated the second time,
but the act is mandatory in Its provisions,
and compels the judge to give the petition
at least one chance for his mental and
physical restoration. 1t is an interesting
phenomenon that the largest liquor dealers
in the State gave the bill cordial support
They say in explanation of their action.
that, apart from charitable considerations,
they believe the law will avert radical con-
fiscatory legislation on the Gotrhenburg or
State dispensary system. Out OF both
branches OF the Legislature only one man,
a Prohibitionst, voted against the bill.
Already over four hundred men have been
listed for treatment, and II Is expected that
fully three thousand will avail themselves
of its benefits within the next two years. A
peculiar feature c. the law is a clause de-
lining drunkenness so as to include cocaine,
raorphia opium users and Under the
terms of this act all existing definitions of
drunkenness are abolished or amended so
as to include the drug user well the
alcoholic inebriate. The author of the bill,
at the request OF the Governor and other
State officers, has volunteered himself TO see
its provisions carried into effect in all the
counties of the State, and IN a few days
this interesting experiment will be in full
operation. A number Of congressman say
II IL = successful that a similar law will
be passed for the District of Columbia and
the Territories.

The drop fell at 7:55 and the men were
pronounced dead at 8:c5. All three necks

they found all hope gone they con-
fessed that the evidence adduced at their
trial was correct and that the story Of
the train robbery and murder as told by
George Padgett, who turned States evil
5lnce, was true. All three united. how
ever, in asserting that Padgett planned
the crime. drew the others into it and then
deserted them when his own neck was In
danger.
