There was great excitement for a
little while among the scholars and Of
course all sorts OF reports about many
being injured, some fatally, got afloat
on the streets.
The citl engineer was called in by
perintendent Rust to examine the
building and found that the trouble
arose from the giving away of one of the

chanical work, and the railroad scene,
with its trains going at a terrific rate of
speed, makes the stage seem like
piece Of reality. The Niagara Falls
scene is wonderfully beautiful, and it
may safely be said Is more elaborate
than anything OF the kind ever before
attempted in this city
There are multitude Of minor effects
that contribute to make the performance
o revelation Of realism The whistles,
bells and splashing are heard as the
boat leaves the wharf. Tho sounds
that tell US OF an approaching train
herald the spproach Of the freight and
tho fast mail train-the latter rushing
by with people gazing from the window
at the heroine who has just saved her
lovers life by fastening letter to the
mail pouch. The roaring of Niagara

from 1t Is shown wildly.

HAS NO SUPERIOR.
A japanese Naval Attaches Opinion of the
Cruiser Indiana

Japanese Naval Attaches Opinion of the
Cruiser Indiana
Washington, November 19.-Com-
mander Miyaoka, naval attache of the
japanese legation here, has made a
strong report to the naval department
of Japan on the merits of the United
States battleship Indiana. This report,
coming at a time when Japan is look
ing abroad for new battleships and
cruisers, will, it Is believed, be favcr-
able to securing some of the contracts
for American ship builders.
Commander MiyaOka spent week on
the Indiana while she was at sea and
in dock. He has had long experience
in naval affairs, having been an in
sructor at the torpedo school in Japan,
and he made his investigations with
the critical eye of an expert He went
from deck to keel examining the en-
gines and watching the manipulations
of the stoke holes and went aloft to in
spect the rigging and upper works Of
the craft. Mr Miyaoka sums up his
conclusions in the statement that the
Indiana is a magnificent ship, equal TO-,
if not superior, to any battleship Of her
class aflOat. His report is in great de-
tail, showing all her points Of super
iOrity
There is keen competition at the pres
ent time among the ship builders Of
the world for securing the contracts for
the construction of the new ships which
japan is about to build. Mr.. George
Williams, Of Washington, representing
Eastern ship yards, visited Japan re-
Gently and found that the cabinet fav-
ored the American builders. but that
they were opposed by the naval experts,
who had received their training in Eng
land and believed the English were tho
best ship builders. Mr.. Williams left
for England some days ago, and his
visit may lead to some understanding
between the English and American
builders. Commander Miyaoka's re-
port. coming at a time when the con-
tracts for the ships are about to be let.
will doubtless be of material assistance
to the Americans.

JAMES BROOKS Found.
He Has Been Missing From Martins
Ferry Since Last August.
A Boy, on a Jaunt to the Woods
Finds the Mans Skele ton-He
Committed Suicide Near Rainey-
town, Above Martins FelTy-The
Pistol by His Side.

Yesterday afternoon the mystery
that has been surrounding the sudden
disappearance of James Broots, a well1
known citizen of Martins Ferry, was
cleared up in the finding of his body
up near the coal works at Ralneytown-
The discovery was made BY a young
son of "Doolie" Wilson, Of that place.
The youngster drives COWS up there,
and yesterday afternoon, while hunt
ing about the hillside for his COWS.
he saw pair of boots and sOIna
stopping to make any investigation. ha
came down to Martins Ferry and in
formed the officers. Marshal Moora
and Officer Meyers went up, and guild
ed by the Wilson boy, found the re-
mains lying in hollow in the ground.
A large fallen tree was lying acrosa
this, and around it wild grape vines
were growing. On a closer investiga-
ton it was discovered that his flesh
utu dll utCOillJalNs iSt~'AAiS AANellAAl -
but his bones and clothing. BY his
side a revolver was found, covered
with rust, blood and hair. This was
brought down by the officers and was
identified by Charles Brooks, a son OF
the deceased. The description Of his
wearing apparel comedies exactly with
those he wore when he left homo on
August 9, 1895. Coroner Furbay anD
Constable Stanton were informed, and
intended going after the body las:
night, but owing to the almost mac
cessible place where the body is and
the disagreeable weather it was decid-
ed not to go after the remains till this
morning. The revolver, when turned
over to the coroner. had one bullet in
it. It was a 32-calibre.
Mr.. Brooks left homo on August 9
of this year, and for a while it was
supposed had gone to Pittsburg. Tho
reason of his suddenly leaving is at
tributed to several things, none oe
which are known as facts.
