THE TORPEDO BOATS.
Difficulty Experienced I'm Making
Selections From the Bids.

Selections From the Bids.
The bureau chiefs of the navy. to whom
the bids for the three new torpedo boats
were referred for examination and report,
are having much difficulty in the work Of
making selections. Several of the bidders
submitted original designs, and II was
necessary for the board to examine these
very carefully and to have experts make
abstruse calculations of the weights of
hull and machinery in each case. In .ome
instances sufficient data was not supplied
so the department has decided to call upon
the bidders to be present in person at the
department and explain some matters still
in doubt. An interesting development is
that the officials have found that the bid
of Hugh Ramsay Of Perth Amboy, n. J.,
who protested against the acceptance Of
the lowest, that of the Columbian iron
works Of Baltimore, on account of infor-
mality, is itself defective, but IL has not
yet been determined whether or not the
informalities in either case are sufficient
to prevent the consideration OF the bids.

On October 16, 1893, the skeleton of a
woman was found under the kitchen floor
of the house No. 1850 North 11th street,
which was being torn down. The house
had been vacant for a long time.
With the skeleton were found silk

as the only clue the detectives discovered
that the last occupants of the house had

FEARFUL STORM
Greatest Gale Known in Many Years
Prevails From New York to
Southern Texas.
TELEGRAPH WIRES FRUSTRATED
Wind Blowing at the Rate Of Severity
Two Miles an Hour-Vesseis
in Danger.


AZ % AT
CHICAGO, Nov. 26.-The storm which
ragged last night and this morning was
one of the worst that ever struck the
city. The wind blew a gale and sno
fell in clouds. By midnight the streets
were in a horrible condition and travel
WAS difficult and dangerous. Street
railway traffic is impeded aud the minor
lines had to be abandoned. The same
state of affairs prevailed throughout
Illinois. Several fires occurred during
the night, but the fact that it was not
freezing made the fires more easily
handled, though still hard to control.
At $50 this morning practically not
Il scum OF telegraph was to be heard in
the city. This was the first time such a
state of affairs has existed in 30 years.
The heavy, wet snow broke down the
wlree ia all directions and the few that
remained intact were rendered useless
Wy the broken ones falling across and
grounding them. The wires were down
in every direction and the telegraph COM
paries were blocked. All trains due
since 6 o'clock last night were late sew
eral hours.

WAS AFRAID OF HIM.
Tha Is Why Mrs. NJ. G. Archer Got n
Divorce in Butte Instead of Great

Many people will remember the case
Of M. G. Archer, who was charged by his
wife and mother-in-law with %aHeaulting
them with an ak, a few weeks ago on the
South side. The case was tried before
Judge Hawkins 10 the police court, and
while Archer made no defense, the court
was made aware of certain mitlgat-
ing circumstances In the case,
which induced him to impose a
very light sentence, considering the
gravity Of the charge. 1t appears that
the wife and her mother shortly after
left for Butte. where Mrs. Archer enter
ed suit for divorce, alleging extreme
cruelty and intidelity. According to the
Butte papers she testified to the facts re-
laling to his smashing the furniture with
an AK as heretofore published in THE
TRIBUNE, and added that he also falsely
accused her of intidelity. On Sept, II,
she LEARNT that he had been crimlnally
intimate with Ellie Livingston, An old
timer in Butte, and she accused him OF
it. lie admitted the charge and said he
would repeat the act. In answer to
questions from the court Mrs. Archer
said that when the Livingston woman
first came to Great Falls her husband
spoke of her and told his wife that he
would like to have her. Mrs. Archer
said her husband WAS Il gambler, and
that che had been acquainted with him
only a short time before she married
him. She did not bring the suit 10 Cas-
cHde county because n was afraid OF
him.
Mrs. Desmond, mother of Mrs. Arch.
err, substantiated the testimony OF her
daughter. and said that she saw him
strike her several times and once pull d
revolver and both begged for their lives
Mrs. Desmond said she believed he
would have killed his wife with the AZ
if she had not grabbed the weapon anc
received the blow on her arm. Archer
was arrested for that act and sem tt
Jail. Mrs. Desmond heard of his intimacy
with the Livingston woman and asked
him about it. He boastingly admitted
it and said he would do it again. Thu
decree of divorce restores Mrs. Archer t.
her maiden name of Mary Ann Des
mond and gives her the custody Of thu
child,

ST.. CLOUD, MINI, Nov. ga terrible
tail-end collision between two Great
Northern weet-bound freight trains &C.
Cured on the main track at Spicer
water tank on the Willmar branch, be-
tween l and . o'clock this morning. The
first freight was taking water when an
other heavy freight, headed by two OF
the heaviest engines, bound in the same
direction, crashed into the rear end.
The double header was making fast
time when the collision occurred. The
Willmar train arrived here two hours
late and passengers say the wreck pre-
sents a frightful appearance. One en-
CINE and Il fireman and two brakemen
we're somewhat injured. 1t is not
thought the injuries are serious. The
engines are piled in a heap of scrap iron
and four cars of wheat are burning
under them. One of the engines IN the
double. header is standing upright on
the other. Five ears in the middle OF
the train run into were wrecked and the
engine badly damaged. That there was
no loss of life was miraculous. The heat
from the burning cars was 80 intense as
to interfere with the clearing up of the
wreck.

around and finding that we were in the
woods half a mile from the highway
and at least a mile from any cleared

with us. The next day We got some cOrn
from a field two miles away and parch-

captured several opossums, killed Il pig,
which was running wild, and knocked
over and devoured three or four rows
and pronounced them excellent eating.

though Clark was getting the better Of
his injury, and VIZ hoped to make IA start

than 20 years old, and not having even
a pistol with him it was a foolhardy
thing for him to do. Having a brave
heart in him, he acted on impulse. The
idea with all of us was that we had
Numbered upon a party Of soldiers sent
out in search, and no one hesitated to
use his club.
1t was only after the young soldier
had gone down under u blows that
we found he was alone and unarmed.
Two men lifted up his body and bore it
into a thicket across the road, and when
at a safe distance we examined his in

Some Of the blows had fractured his
skull, and at the end Of two hours he
was dead. When I tell you that we were

tack him and defend ourselves, but when
we saw him lying dead we could not
help but feel that there was innocent
blood on our hands. On an envelope in
his pocket was his name, George Will

days furlough, granted by the COM
mander Of the post at Salisbury nine
days before. He was one of the guards
at the prison pen, then, and had been
home Oh a furlough and was making
his way back.

as we'll be surrender without an effort,
and we were feeling gloomy enough
when the man returned. To our surprise
he was alone and had a basket on his
arm and a jug in his hand. The basket
contained meat, bread, pickles, pie ana
other good things, and the jug held
cider. He placed them before us and
said:
"Boys. I don't know who yo' are. I
shall never own up that I ever saw yo'.

and Ireckon yo'd better move slowly on

"But why do you do this for an enc.

head. "Besides I've got a son who is a

them to treat him as I treat yo'."

We sat there staring into each others
faces and never thanked him nor said

minutes after the sound of his footsteps
had died out of our ears. It was his son
