Two More Naval Engineers Succumb
TO the Strain.
Two more naval engineers have broken
down physically and VIII be retired as a
result of severe work. One is Chief En-
gineer Edward Magee, who has been an
invalid at the New York navy yard ever
since he was detached from the Monterey
on account of 'fireman's heart disease"
He was examined Saturday and ordered
before retiring board.
The other is Chief Engineer Herschel
Nam, who has a record OF hard service
and hair breadth escapes that few can
match. He was in charge OF the engines
on the Inflated Trenton when she went
down before the Samoan hurricane, and
behaved then with great cooness and
gallantry.
He was also on the old Saginaw when
she was wrecked on a reef OF Midway
Island, in the Pacific, and it was largely
owing to his ability and ingenuity that
the ships company was saved. When
the ship was wrecked all OF the new navi-
CATION instruments were lost.
Engineer Main, who was not supposed
10 be a scientific navigator, manufactured
a sextant from the dial OF an old steam
gauge, with which boat was navigated
safely to the Ha waiian Islands, 2,4o0
miles distant, and relief obtained for the
ships company.

My attention has just been called to
the publIcation OF a lett er written
by me in September, 1890, TO Hon. W L.
Peek, and published at that time in the
Atlanta journal The Journal was then
openly opposing the sUb-tTeasuTy scheme,
and my personal opposition to it was well
understood The letter clearly excluded
the idea Of committing me 10 all Of the seven
propositions which it presented. although it
was known that did favor the free coinage
OF silver.
" j was giving most Of my attention to
professional work at that time, and sup
posed, without investigation, that the free
coinage OF silver would carry the value Of
the silver bullion coined into a dOllarat par
and also keep silver and gold dollars upon a
parity with equal purchasing power.

much more study, and being thoroughly

On the occasion OF the annual excursion OF

Troop A, Capt Kendall, gave an exhibi-

Among the interesting features per

Cossack riding, hurdle jumping, in which
live horses were used as hurdles: sword
combats, mounted and on foot, aCrobalIc
and bareback riding, which would turn
half the professional circus riders green
with envy; Roman riding, aud aneXhibition
of schooled horses, in which the men
showed themselves TO be thoroughly eX-
pert and TO have their horses under per-
feet control.
The Troop was under the immediate
command Of Lieut. W. C. Short, to whom
great credit is due for the success Of the
performance.
Judging from the enthusiastic cheers
of the immense audience it can be fairly
said that The Troop gave an exhibition
Of riding such al has never been witnessed

The Case Against Him.
The case against Percy Wimsatt, the
young telegraph operator, charged by Wal
ter Robertson with abducting his fourteen
year-old sister, Irene, which excited so
much comment last week, was brought up

friends were in the courtroom with her.
District Attorney Mullowney stated that
he had made a thorough investigation
OF the case and there was nothing in it,
Irene has denied all along that Percy
had anything to do with her disappearance,
and the charges against him were accord

eDicky,, MORGAN Told a Flb.

Mr.. William L. Torbert wishes it under
stood that the statement made by our
Shenandoah correspondent that the first
price he asked for the land for the site for
the water dam from the borough of Shen-
andoah was $1,000, is untrue. His first
claim was $50 900. The award is less than
half the price he demanded. Mr.. Torbert,
as our correspondent stated, is not criti-
cised in this matter. He did what any
other man would have done to determine
the matter, appealed to court, and there
is no intention to reflect upon him in any
way. 1t would be highly unjust to do so.
1t is very natural, however, that Shenan-
doah people should kick against an award
which they believe to be excessive, just as
Mr.. Torbert would probably do if he was
in their place.-From an editorial in the
Mahanoy City Record.

THE STORY OF A BUTTON
HOW A GAY MARRIED MAN WAS
RUN INTO A HOLE BY HIS
SHREWD WIFE.
She Smilingly Beguiled Him Into
Acknowledging a Convincing Piece
of Evidence of the Charges
Made Against Him.

A well laid and carried out scheme on
the part of a deceived wife has caused an
eruption in the domestic relations Of one
of the we'll known families of town, al.
though up to the present time there have
been no divorce proceedings, or other
like public developments in the case.
The wife was so much elated by the sue
cess of the scheme that she could not
keep the story within the precincts of the
household, and it was so clever it will
bear publication.
The wife had her suspicious against
the moral department of her spouse
aroused by the tales of neighbors. For a
time she treated the stories as grist from
the mill of idle gossips, but by close OBJ.
servation and diligent inquiry she at last
satisfied herself that there were grounds
for the reports. Finally she openly
charged her husband with infldelity, but
he met the attack with broad front of
injured innocence and the wife faltered.
For a time there was peace, but the
continued gossip caused the wife to renew
her vigilance. 1t was to no purpose, how.
ever. She could secure no more proof
than before. She knew her spouse went
to certain house of i'll repute only from
reported gossip. Suddenly bright idea
struck her and she lost no time in putting
it into execution. She secured the CO.
operation of male relative who induced
female inmate of the house of i'll repute
to cut button from the erring husbands
coat. The button was placed in the wifes
hands and few days ago the husband
remarked that he had lost button from
his coat. "Is this the button, dear ?"
asked the wife with a sweetness that
hadn't the slightest touch of suspicion in
it. The spouse readily recognized the
button and was then told how and when
it left the coat. The husband has also
been telling the story with the comment
that it was one of the cutest tricks he
has ever seen played.
