nATTLESHIP QUIETLY SANK AT
BROOKLYN NAVY YARD.
Eucines and Machinery Damaged by
the Flood OF Muddy Water
Diver Sent Down.

New York Nov. 9.-The United States
battleship Texas, to which a number Of
accidents have occurred since she was
launched, lies alongside Cobb dock, in
the Brooklyn navy yard, submerged about
Eve feet below the water line.
Eearly today the main junction valve
Oh the starboard side, near midship, about
"A feet below the water line, was stove IN
from the force of the water The engine
rooms were quickly flooded with dirty,
black, muddy water, and the ship soon
began to settle.
Captain Glass called the officers and
crew to quarters, and did everything pos
sible to minimize the ships injuries. At
the time the accident occurred there was
only about two feet Of water under the
ship, and she soon rested on the muddy
bottom. This was at low water, but at
high water this afternoon there was be-
tween five and six feet of water above
the line at the stern end, and about Is
inches less at the bow.
Wrecking tugs were Immediately sum
mOned, and three were soon alongside,
pumping the water out of the engine and
boiler rooms, while a diver was sent
down to ascertain the extent OF the dam
age.
Captain Glass, Lieutenant Kelly, Engi-
neer Moore and other officers could not
be induced to talk about the accident,
and all inquiries were referred to Com
modore Scard commander OF the yard.
He said:
Il know very little as yet about the
accident The ship is resting easily On
the muddy bottom, and we have no ap-
prehenson OF any further damage to her.
The principal damage she will sustain
will be from the dirty water which will
temporarily injure the engines and ma
cLinery. We can not estimate the amount
of damage, nor the exact cause of the ac-
cident until the diver makes a report.
possibly not until the ship is raised. She
will come up easily as soon as the leak
IS stopped"

THE LOS ANGELES MAN WON.
Americans Come in Ahead In Two
london Prize Fights.


London, Nov. 9.-There was q brilliant
array of sportsmen present tonight at the
National Sporting Club TO witness the
Sights between sony Smith of Los An
geles, Cal, and willie" Smith, the feath-

tninny," otherwise known as 'Billy' Hill,
and an English unknown, who is Arthur
CalIan of Manchester.
IN the first event, SolIy Smith won
easily in the eighth round, and in the sec
ond event, Hill was declared the winner
in the 18th round. The two Smiths got
the word very promptly after their en-
trance. Soly Smith led off low, and on
repeating the dose was cautioned Willie
played waiting game, so that little was
done until the third round, in which Solly
stood well, thereafter having matters en-
tirely his own way. He punished his OPP
ponent severely in the eighth round, Wheh
the referee stopped the fight.
In the succeeding event CaIlan made a
desperate effort against Muldoon's Pick
ininny, but the contest was spoiled by a
lot of hugging by both contestants. The
American had the advantage of height
and reach. Callan had the best OF the
NTH round, but the sixth ended in favor
OF the American The succeeding rounds
were mostly in favor of Callan, but N the
18th the American settled the business
and won the fight with hit on the jaw OF
his opponent.

The Beers are a race Of hunters, as

cies Of wild beast. Numbers Of them

lions, rhinoceroses and other heavy

ed the elephant south Of the Zambezi,
and the buffalo is becoming very scarce.

indeed, are so quixotic. The Boer treats
the lion as dangerous vermin, if possi-

The iTWaoht Am Rhein %

the most celebrated is that of the Rhine.
composed by Becker, and answered bv
Alfred de Musset In other we'll known
verses. The "Wacht am Rheiu," bv
Max schneckenburger, was comnosed
about the same period as the Rhine
song, but attained its widest popularity
during the war Of 1870. Unlike Beck
er's song, 1t cannot boast of having been
set to music by 10 composers.
The patriotic song of Deutschland,
Deutschland uber Allies" was the work Of
the popular writer, poet, philologist and
historian August Hoffman,, who was
born at Fallersleben in the year 1898.
For time we find him acting as librari-
an and later as professor at the Uniyer-
sity of Breslau, but the liberal tendency
OF some of his writings caused him, in
1888, to be deprived Of his PROFESSIONAL
chair. For many years he was librarian
to the Duke Of Ratibor, and died in
this sheltered post in 1874. The German
national anthem, "Heil Dir i'm Sieger-
kranz," was written originally for the
birthday of Christian VII, king of Den
mark, by a Holstein clergyman. The
words were written to the air of "God
Save the King" in 1890, and a few
years later were modified for Prussiau
use.-Chambers Journal.

How to Mako a Handle Stick.

Handles will get loose, do what you
will, says The Wheel, and some time
or other they will part company with
the bar. Forty ways to cement them on
have been exploited as many different
times in the columns of the wheel pa
pers, but the average sticker on Of han
dies makes the mistake Of smearing the
cement over the handle bar instead Of
placing it inside the handle, the conse-
quence being that the handle when
forced on, pushes up the cement, which
forms in an unsightly ring round the
end Of the handle. The proper way is to
melt little cement, pour 1t into the
mouth of the handle while the latter is
being revolved, so as to make it run
round, warm the end Of the handle bar,
but not sufficiently to injure the cork
or celluloid, and push the handle on.
The handle bar will thus tend to carry
the cement farther in, and there will be
none visible round the outside. -Ex-

To Pay the Money.

AT special session of the dis
trict court at Corvallis last Satur.
day Judge Fullerton made an order
in the matter of the o. P. sale
money that has been on hands
since January 1895. The order
was to the effect of approving the
report of Referee Woodcock in all
things, and ordering the distribu-
ton of the balance of the 500, 900
now in the clerks hands. County
Clerk Hunter will check up all the
claims and will begin the payment
OF money as soon as he gets the
claims checked up. AS there are
multitudes of claimants it will take
some time to apportion each
claimant his part.
Of this fund Lincoln county will
receive $4,000. Coming at this
time it will be great benefit to the
county. According to the state
ment of the clerk Oh September 80,
of last year, there were $24, IS5 in
outstanding warrants, including the
estimated interest thereon. There
are now probably about $25, 900 in
warrants outstanding. The rail.
road taxes will go long way to,
ward redeeming these warrants
The 1894 and 1895 railroad taxes
will be paid this week, which vii
also materially help along in the
redemption of outstanding war
rants. The county will be left will
a small Indebtedness, but it can Sc,
its way out. Byjudicious manage
ment of its affairs the county will
be out of debt at the end of 1899
or at the end of three years from
now.

Success In Society.

The secret Of success in society is a
certain heartiness and sympathy. A man
who is not happy in company cannot
find any word in his memory that will
lt the occasion; all his information is
q little impertinent. A man who Is
happy there finds in every turn Of the
conversation occasions for the introduo-
tion of what he has to say. The favor
ties of society are able men, and OF
more spirit than wit, who have no un-
comfortable egotism, but who exactly
fill the hour and company, contented
