Mr.. Crisp begins His Campaign.

BY special invitation, conveyed By joint
resolution cf both houses, ex-Speaker Crisp
addressed the Georgia legislature last night
on the political issues Of the day. Mr..
Crisp confined himself almost exclusively
to the financial question in the course OF
his remarks, and declared himself une-
uuvocally in favor of free, unlimited and
independent coinage of silver at ratio OF
1G to l. In view of the fact that the speech
last night is considered the opening one IN
the campaign for the United States sena-
torshIp, which will be made vacant upon
the expiration of Senator Gordons term,
and that Mr.. Crisp is regarded as n proba-
bic candidate. his utterances are takcn as
significant of the platform upon which no
will offer himself as a senatorial candidate.

THE INJURED TEXAS,
The Ship VIII Probably De Sent n
Short Cruise ut Sea.


Constructor Bowles at the New York
navy yard has furnished the additional
report called for by the Navy Department
upon the straining of the battle ship Texas
in dry dock. Generally it Is but an ampli-
fication of the data already given as to
the particular frames and brackets buckled
The constructor recommends that no at
tempt be made at present to straighten
the bent iron work, but that the ship be
foated again and the cracked cement re-
placed. which will cost about $500. He
also suggests certain precautions that
should be adopted when the vessel is
docked again. mainly in the provision Of
additional shores under the ship.
In view of this report it is probable that
orders will be given to take the Texas out
of dry dock and to send her on a short
cruise in order to test her machinery and
general capability. Such a course will
give a practical demonstration of the ger
eral condition of the ship.

THE RAM KATAHDIN.
A Report Showing How the Boat May
BE Accepted.

BE Accepted.
The naval bureau chiefs to whom was re-
ferrel the question of the acceptance of the
ram Katahdin have made a report upon the
subject, which is now before the judge ad-
vocate general for his Endorsement. 1t is
understood that the report points out the
manner In which the vessel may be accept
ed, Notwithstanding her failure to make the
seventeen knots speed required by the con-
tract. 1t Is pointed out that as there was
No competition in the bids fer constructing
the vessel, no other firm would be wronged
by the acceptance of the boat. Also, that
the speed requirement of seventeen Snots
was rot fixed by law, but by the Secretary
of the Navy, who may. therefore, modify
the conditions. and further, that in equity
no person can DC held to the performance of
an Impossible condition, and 1t Is SAT-! 10 lie
imp ssible to drive the Kat1hdin's peculiar
hui at seventeen knots sped.
Il now remains for Secretary Herbert and
the Judge advocate general To pass upon the
case.

DEATH OF MRJ.P. RORABACK.

With unfeignsd sadness we record the death of MT J. Palen Roraback, which occurred at the Hartford hospital at 1915 o'clock last Monday evening.
 The NEWS of April 25 reported the circumstances of Mir Roraback's acci- dent at Ashley Falls when he broke his leg the Sunday previous to that date and his removal to his home in Tariff vile; and last Thursday the NEWS re- corded the fact that the leg was ampu- tated at the knee, May 8. Until Mon- day of this week Mir Roraback was thought to be recovering from the ann putation, but on Monday morning hemorrhage began and his physicians, Drs Wooster and Oates, advised his re- moval from Tariffville to the Hartford hospital for treatment and perhaps for another amputation. His physicians and Mrs Roraback accompanied him to Hartford. When he reached the hospital it was decided not to operate, as he WAS too weak to stand the shock.
 Mir Roraback was son of the late William Rorsback, of Sheffield, Mass. He was 51 years of age. He is surviv- ed by his wife, and one son about IA years of age. He also leaves four brothers and two sisters, Messrs George w., Duane L., William H., and D. Chester Roraback; Mrs John Woodford and Mrs Perry Carter. all of whom re- side at Winsted except Geo. W. who lives at Westfield, Mass. For a num- Der of years MT Roraback was an em- ployee of the Wm. l.. Gilbsrt Clock Co.,, of Winsted. but of recent years he has been bOokkeeper in the Hartford office of the Reading railroad, and resided in TariHville.
 Thirty years ago, while school boy, he fell and injured his leg and during all these weary years he has been a constant sufferer. His bravery and patience were phenomenal. Not mur- mur ever escaped his lips, although ire quently he suffered such pain that great tear drops rolled down his cheeks and soile1 the books on which he was writ ing, yet he increasingly labored on to provide for those dependent upon him. Besides those already mentioned he leaves many other relatives and . host of friends who while they mourn their loss cannot regret that at last the weary frame has found rest. The inspiration of such life. such an example of for titude and self-sacrifice can never be forgotten by those who have been privileged to observe it.
 The funeral will be attended to-day (Thursday) at Winsted at 12 o'clock Interment in the family lot in the South cemetery at Winsted.

A Fair Spirit.

The New York Herald has discontin- ned the issue of its weekly edition, be- cause "the legitimate field of weekly news is filled to the satisfaction of To- cal readers by county and town papers. !" The Herald shows not only wisdom but fair spirit toward it's country contem- poraries. The country weekly, filling circumscribed field. is often injured by the cheaper weeklies issued by the New York dailies. The latter do not fill the local field, it is true, but they give an immense mass of miscellaneous reading at very low price, and there are people who look at quantity rather than quality. Hundreds of country editors, struggling to make both ends meet, will thank the Herald for it's latest move.-Ansonia Sentinel.

Frank Hitchcock has clipped his long haired St Bernard's dog in such g style that, considering the large size of the animal, the dog presents a very startling resemblance to an African lion. Witu the large tuft at the end of his tail, the dog with little training might be made very useful in dusting furniture.
 The New Hartford Tribune says: "Col Justin Hodge of Riverton, who has been confined to his house all win ter, is able to be ont again as genial as ever." Col Hodge is a veteran of the Mexican war and the war of the Rebel lion. He formerly lived in Canaan, and his old friends here will be pleased to learn of his restoration to health.

A Good PictuIe.

There has been in one of Culver's windows the past few days picture painted by MT A. O. Brainard. of e., Burlington, which is worthy ofmention. The scene is laid in the rear part of a country church and but two pews are visible. In the back pew sits an old man, his head bowed upon his clasped hands and resting on the back of the pew in front of him. The face is, of course, not visible. but the white hairs, clasped hands and bowed head of the worshiper all combine in producing a very striking effect. In the pew in front rests the old mans hat. in which is seen a red bandanna handkerchief, and on the cushion is a Bible and a palm leaf fan.
 The whole effect is attractive and very suggestive, and MT Brainard, whom it is understood has but recently taken up painting, and has had no in- struction, has exhibited decided skill and marked degree of genius.-Gt Burlington Gazette.
