WASHINGTON June (Spec!ai The published
reports OF the damage 10 the commerce-1estroying
cruiser Columbia hardly give any idea OF the real
damage she sustained in going down the Della

in connection with the building OF the new ships
for several years He added: Some OF the cond!-
tons were rather unusual. in tho first place. the

naturally a great deal o. drag and the real
amount OF water under the ship was much less
than those board imagined. probably as much as
a foot or more: II Is therefore not surprising that
she should have touched running al she was. The
officer In command should have known this but

From the partial investigation made 1t shows that
there are several plates that badly dented. the

that the plates will have to be removed aid re-

DEATH OF LEE CHURCH.
Drowned i'm Il Lake i'm Wash
ingtOn.

A telegram from Mr.. Jas. w.
Nicol to Mr.. NJ. =. Gray brought
the sad news Wednesday evening
that Mr.. Lee 5. Church. formerly
Of this city, was drowned in lake
near Chelan, Washington. No par
ticulars were given. but Mr.. Nicol
said he would write at once. Mr..
Church was the youngest son Of
Mr.. John +. Church, of this
county, and brother Of Mrs. NJ.
P. Gray and Mr. n. b. Church,
Of this city. When just about
grown he removed to Texas where
he spent some ten years ranching,
but about eight or ten years ago
returned here and went into the
hardware business with his broth
er-in-law, Mr.. NJ. P. Gray. the
style of the firm being Gray &
Church. His health failing about
three years ago he sold out his
business to his partner and re-
turned to Texas. where he re-
NAMED until last fall when he re-
moved to Washington and togeth-
err with Mr.. Jas. w. Nicol, also a
former resident Of this county, en-
gagged in mining near the place
where he lost his life.
Mr.. Church was modest and
unassuming, but true man and a
gentleman under all circumstances,
a kind and affectionate son and
brother and friend who could be
relied upon His untimely death
is a great shock to his family and
friends.

FRANKFORT, KY, Aug. 1894

FRANkFORT, n.y., Aug. 1894.
Yielding to the f1attering and
earnest solicitation Of partial
friends and representative citizens
OF all political faiths, have. con-
trary to my purpose to never
again stand for office, determined
to make the race for County
Judge at the November election.
1894. This is the most important
office in the county government.
In the hands OF the County Judge
are placed the liberties Of the
citizens in crimioal trials before
examining court, as also the
moneyed interests Of large class
Of debtors and creditors, litigating
matters Of account in the quarter
ly court, besides the settlement
and oversight Of the estates OF
widows and orphans.
The taxing interests Of the citi-
zens is in the hands Of the County
Judge and the Magistrates.
SO it will be seen that your
County Judge yields large in
huence in county affairs. N"
more taxes should be laid than
are absolutely necessary to meet
the bonded indebtedness at its
maturity and the annual accruing
interest thereon, together with the
necessary amount to conduct the
county government upon econo-
mic, honest business principles.

they are to be equally benefited BY IT,
1t is local taxation and the dis
tribution of the funds derived
therefrom that comes home d..
rectly to the county and city tax
payer, for it must be met and is
felt in proportion to the ability to
meet it. Therefore, it is the right
OF the citizen to demand OF
his county court the lowest
per cent. Of tax each year
consistent with an economic, hon
est and impartial government. and
to have this tax promptly collect

piled to the good Of the entire
county.
