OBITUARY.

Died, at Moore's Hotel in Leonardtown,
on Sunday night. September 13, 1896,
WARREN MOORE, only child of r.
Jackson and the late Aline Greenwell
Moore.
Death has again seized upon another
victim and consigned the beloved one to
its mother earth, from whence il sprung.
IL is sad thing TO be compelled to
chronicle the death of the sged-those
who have passed through all the phases
Of q life time-but now that we are
constrained to record the death of one so
young, who had but just entered the path
of life, and TO whom the future appeared
all bright and shining, who had pictured
TO himself a long life of usefulness and
peace, and at last when the journey of life
was over 10 pass calmly and quietly away,
cheered by the promise of eternal life.
The writer Of this tribute of respect was
we'll acquainted with the deceased from
childhood up, and could not but admire
evidence of modest but real worth mani
tested during his short life, of noble and
generous disposition of heart and cbarac.

all who knew him, and he promised to be

Grieve not, thou stricken friends and rela

are at rest. HoT Box.

er home made desolate. Disease has at
last consigned TO the grave one more vic
tim, one whose trust and hope through life
was in God. She died in full communion
with the Catholic Church, and when the
Spirit came II found her fully prepared for
the souls flight from its mortal tenement
She was a tender mother, kind friend
and loving grandmother. She was more
than mother TO her orphaned grandchild-
ren. She was always kind and consider
ate to the sick and suffering and bore her
own sickness and suffering with Christian
fortitude, relying on her Savfour's words.
Peace and tranquility in that world 10
come, where sickness, sorrow and pain are
never known, she dieG full of years and
rich in virtues, and leaves a sweet legacy
of memories TO all who enjoyed her ac-
quaintance But now she has left us and
the beloved form lies mouldering in the
cold and silent grave, but the spirit winged
its flight to those realms of bliss where all
that is pure and good will ultimately find
peace and rest.

port of the Board of Naval Officers APP
pointed to conduct the final or efficiency
trial of the baittleship Indiana has been
received at the Navy Department. 1t
shows that the vessel is worthy of all
the praise that has been bestowed on
her. Her hull, engines, machinery and
fittings were found to be faultless. The
trial took place on the voyage between
Port Royal, S. c., and Norfolk, which
the Indiana made in forty hours. AL
though run under natural draught, and
with four boilers only. she maintained
an average speed of thirteen and a half
knots, an excellent showing for a ship
designed to run fifteen knots under the
best conditions. The horsepower de-
Neloped was nearly 5000. There was
very little roll, the maximum being
twenty degrees in heavy cross sea.
This trial completes the official test
ing Of the Indiana, and the percentage
of the contract price retained to insure
any changes or repairs for which the
contractors might be held accountable
will now be paid to the Messrs. Cramps.

The Owner of the Vessel Under Arrest
at Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA, April 14.-John D.
Hart, the steamship owner of this city,
was arrested this afternoon on the charge
Of violating the neutrality laws be-
tween this country and Spain in connec-
ton with the last voyage of the steam
ship Bermuda, and was given a pre-
liminary hearing before United States
Commissioner Bell and bound over in
$500 bail for a further hearing to-mor-
row.
This is the second time Mr.. Hart has
been arrested on the charge of filibuS-
tering, and it was only a day Or so ago
that he was acquitted in New York on
the first charge Warrants of arrest
are out for Captain O'Brien, master of
the Bermuda, Mates Murphy and Simp-
son and Colonel Emilio Nunez, one Of
the Cuban leaders, and who was a pas
senger aboard the Bermuda on the last
voyage.
Arrangements have been entered into
between counsel for the alleged fill
busters and the Government officers,
by which the cases will be transferred
from this district to the court in New
York
The information upon which the war;
rants were sworn was made by Jose
Congosto, the Spanish Consul at this
port. Dr. Congosto is said to have re-
ceived the evidence upon which he made
the information from six or eight of
the seamen of the Bermuda, who are
said to be dissatisfied with their treat
ment on the voyage.
Mr. Harris hearing before Commits
sioner Bell this afternoon was merely a
preliminary one, and no evidence was
taken.

Conditions Under Which They May
Hereafter be Used.


CHICAGO, April 14.-The General
Managers of Western Railroads reached
an agreement at their adjourned meet
ing to-day with reference to the mile
age ticket question. 1t was in line with
the action of the General Passenger
Agents at their recent ST. Louis meet
ing as to the enforcement of the re-
strictive conditions of such tickets.
On and after May 1st the 1000 mile
ticket, which is sold for $50, cannot be
used except when the conditions of the
purchase have been complied with. 1t
is non-transferrable, and the conduct
ors will have to take 1t up if they believe
it is presented by any other person than
the original purchaser. The non-trans-
ferrable restriction will be practically
enforced by provision that the refund
of $40 on each ticket now made by
agreements of each road independently,
shall be made through the Chairman of
the Western Passenger Association, or
his agents, at the principal points in the
territory. The refund will be refused II
the agent thinks a scalper or his agent
is the holder Of the ticket. AS these
mileage tickets represent the stock in
trade of the Scalper, the refund of
$40 is usually his profit on each book.
This action of the Western roads will
be a body blow at their business.
Two or three Of the Western roads at
the General Managers meeting yester-
day uld not feel disposed to vote for the
complete extinction of party rates in
the territory east Of the Missouri River,
but their votes were recorded in the
affirmative at to-day's meeting. All
the roads felt that they ought to make
reduced rates for theatrical and such
parties, and to show their friendly senti-
nient they named a special committee
to see if some means could not be de-
vised whereby such parties could be
legally and protectively given reduced
rates.
The managers adjourned until next
Tuesday, when the details of the new
mileage ticket will be added to.

NEW YORK, April IA dispatch to
the Recorder from WATERFOWL, New

brother of Grover Cleveland, was to-
day dismissed by the Presbyterian
Church at Chamont. DR.. Cleveland has
been pastor of the church for the past
five years. Complaint was made against
him by part of the congregation be-
cause he preached sermons that were in
favor of D1inocratie principles. The
committee to whom the matter was re-
ferred expressed it's appreciation of the
high Christian character of Dr. Cleve-
land, and regretted the necessity of dis
missing him.
