NEWPORT News, Va, Jan. 31.-The
third warship constructed by private
Southern shipyard since the war, and
also the largest merchant steamer built
in this country with the exception of
the two American transatlantic liners
built by the Cramps, was launched sue
cessfully here by the Newport News
Shipbuilding company at high tide in
the presence of distinguished party
from Washington. Members of the
house naval affairs committee, Admiral
Brown, commanding the Norfolk navy
yard, and large cOncourse of people,
estimated at 5000 from adjacent towns.
There were present also representatives
from Admiral Bunce's great fleet in
Hampton Roads Senators Carter and
Mantle of Montana and Assistant Sec
retary MaAdoo, who represented the
navy department in the absence OF
Secretary Herbert.
To add to the spectacular effect pro-
duced by numbers of steamers and sail
ing vessels which had gathered here
for the occasion, was the battleship In
diana which came up from Fort Monroe
to load coal, pending her departure
later for Port Royal Both vessels are
the finest type their class ever turned

DUBUQUE, Ia, Jan. 8l.-This city has
been excited for the past two weeks
over the grand jury investigation Or
dered by Judge Hustled into alleged sal
ary grabs by members of the city coun-
Gil. Wednesday the grand jury re-
ported. Mayor Oliner was indicted for
taking $500 for services on the board of
health when his salary was already at
the legal limit, 81, 500. Aldermen Hal

WON'T PROSECUTE A WOMAN.
Ex-President Harrison showed His Def

Ex-President Harrison showed His Def
erence in n Murder Trial.
LEBANON, Ind, Jan. 3l.-The ap-
preaching marriage of Ex-President
Benjamin Harrison to Mrs. Mary Lord
Dimmick of New York recalls to mind
the extreme Difference with which the
general has always regarded the gen.
tier sex. Nc more striking illustration
of this characteristic could be desired
than the manner in which he conducted
himself toward the defendant in the
case of Nancy E. Clem, charged with
murder, in which he was one Of the
attorneys for the prosecution. The
Glenn case was, beyond doubt, the most
bitterly contested criminal case Of the
decade, and the time intervening be-
tween the time Of her arrest and final
discharge was little over eight years.
Mrs. Clem was charged with having
killed Jacob Young and wife at Indian
apolis, Sept. 10, 1868, aud was tried
four times. Twice the jury hung and
twice she was convicted and sentenced
to life imprisonment but each time the
supreme court came to her rescue and
reversed the case. After the second
trial the case came up here ON change
of venue. Marion county spent over
$50, 900 in the prosecution, but refused
to contribute further after the verdict
of guilty rendered at the fourth trial
had been reversed by the supreme court
and the case was dismissed.
Harrison's summing up Of the case
was not very vigorous and his Ian
guage was entirely deferential. When
the trial was over Harrison said tC
Judge Palmer, who was hearing the
case that he would never prosecute
another woman, and he never did.

THE GUNBOAT HELENA.

She Is of Peculiar Construction and VIII
he of Great Naval Value.
The gunboat Helena is one of the two
ships of peculiar design built for the
navy by the Newport News company,
her sister ship, the Wilmington having
been launched last October. The pur.
pose was to secure an efficient type OF
vessel for the navigation of shallow
and shifting rivers such as are found
in China, which might still possess sea-
going qualities sufficient to insure safe
passage from the United States to for
elgn stations and also to enable them
to be used in carrying the United
States flag into the many ports of South
and Central America which are now
inaccessible to our warships owing the
shoal water So the Helena, when
complete with all stores aboard, will
Draw Only Nine Feet of Water,
and may go where any schooner able
to navigate the seas can enter, and
while not battleship in the sense of
not possessing armor and big guns,
will carry eight four-inch rifles, guns
quite large enough to meet anything
short of armored craft and heavy forti-
fications, and number Of smaller
machine guns so mounted as to afford
an extremely destructive fire, upon
mobs or troops on shore or boarding
party. To enable the Helena to make
up and down narrow and crooked
channels she has double rudders, CIV
ing great turning power, and these are
SO shielded that the stern may be run
into soft bank, and the bow swept
around by the current as is customary
in some of our Florida rivers. To give
the screws sufficient water to work in,
and at the same time to protect them
from snags and drift in the freshet
streams, they are placed in two tun-
nels, worked in the bottom of the boat.
Plenty of Room Above Water.
The general lines Of the boat above
water are broad, and this results in CIV
ing much more than the usual allot-
ment of space for berthing, so that the
boat will be peculiarly fitted for service
in the tropics, and will also be able tc
give refuge to many people in time OF
stress. There will be no sails upon this
vessel, and her one mast is big stee
tube, large enough to permit of spira
staircase inside, giving access from thu
deck to the top, where four machine
guns are placed, to sweep the shores
and the steersman may sit in safety, 4.
feet above the water, and thus lool
clear over the narrow bends in Chimes
rivers The Helena is $50 feet 9 inche
long by 40 feet inch broad, with
speed Of l3 knots, and will carry ~
officers and men. She is built Of stee
throughout, and is launched just tw
years after the award of the contrac
for building her to the Newport New
Ship Building company, at $3.50, OOC
although the appropriation for the en-
tire sh ip was not to exceed $4OO, 600. Il
her construction every device calculate
to give efficiency and comfort has bee1
placed; she has a double bottom as
guarantee against collisions and ground
ings and is believed to be model gun
boat for the special service she was de
signed to meet.

SOCIAL EVENT.
Sioux Give a Reception to Visiting
Chippewas

oAouA U!Ve u reception to Visiting
Chippewas.
ST. Paul, Jan. 2S.-The Indians en-
joyed themselves yesterday at Fort
Karnival. They deserted their tepees
and gathered in the little room in the
corner of the block house and huddled
around the stove, which was kept al
most red-hot. There was only one
break In the days silence. 1t was an
lmpromptu reception for the benefit Of
the Chippewa chiefs who came to the
city on their way to see the Great
White Father at Washington, and who
called at the grounds in the afternoon
for the purpose of paying their re-
spects to their old enemies, the Sioux.
Inc reception was a very solemn af-
falr. The Sioux arranged themselves
In circle in the block house, and the
Two Chlppewas, Little Red Hair and
We-Son-Dow-Way, passed from one
to another and sedately shook hands
with each. The ceremonies continued
for fifteen or twenty minutes, and not
word was spoken on eitha. side. The
two great chiefs, who, from their state
~ appearance must have been "big In
Juns," followed each other around the
circle and grasped each Sioux by the
hand for a moment. After the hand
shaking was over every one sat on the
ground and the peace pipe was passed
around. 1t was smoked in silence by
an present. The head chief of the
Sioux then rose to his feet and deliv-
cred an address of welcome. He spoke
in the language Of the Dakotas. What
he said seemed to meet with general
approval, If mods and grunts can be
taken for marks Of appreciation.

John Helm fs Taken

AZ Minneapolis, Jan. 27.-John Helm.
who is wanted in this city on the
charge of forging the name of r. w.
Schmidt to mortgage deed, was cap
tured yesterday at Castle, N. D., and
will be brought to this city at once.
Helms wife has been under arrest
since Dec. II, and has been confined in
the county jail with her three-year-old
child, being unable to furnish the So
700 bond demanded. Helm, it will be
remembered, secured from Schmidt
deeds and abstracts to valuable farm
property at Medicine Lake, under the
pretense of making a sale. In reality
he mortgaged the property to Burns
Bros. for $500, representing himself
to be Mr.. Schmidt and having his wife
make affidavit that she was Mrs.
Schmidt and sign the deeds. Helm re-
celved $500 in each and a team Of
horses, and would have received the
balance had not the trick been dis
covered through the lapsing of some
lire insurance on the farm buildings.
