A TROLLEY-CAR VICTIM
ERNEST GEORGE DAUGHERTY
STRUCK AND KILLED LAST NIGHT.
Hit by N NOrth-BOund Alaba mn Street
Car, After Alighting from
Car Going south.

Ernest George Daugherty, a young man
twenty years old. was struck by an electric
car at the corner of Alabama and St. Joe
streets about 1890 o'clock last night and
died about three hours later from his in
jury. He lived at 46S North East street.
DR.. Bedford, who was called to attend him,
found his skull fractured at the base and
saw that there was little hope of the young
man surviving the injury. Daugherty had
been carried into Baughman's drug store
and was taken from there to his home in
the dispensary ambulance. He was son
of William Il. Daugherty.
1t seems that the young man had stepped
off a south-bound car, and. in crossing the
tracks, was struck by coming from
the opposite direction. The motorman did
not see him in time to stop the car.

stop the growing importation of American
-four United States Consul fancy. at Bel
fast. has forwarded to the Department OF
State extracts from Irish trade papers
making the broad charge that all OF the
American -four is adulterated. According
to this remarkable statement, the adulter-
ant is cornmeal which is so finely ground
as TO defy detection when mixed with -four.
The very whiteness and purity of our flour
is cited in proof of the charge, for il is
said that as the British millers can make
only yellow flour from Indian wheat. the
Americans must add the cornmeal. which
is of blush tint, as corrective TO make
their flour white. The consul says this sort
OF argument is used i'm different parts OF
the kingdom with evil effect.

Best Thin ArmOr in the World.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1e.-The Navy De-
partment is securing constant improve
ment in the quality of its armor plate. a
test made at Indian Head yesterday demon
strated that it now possesses the best thin
armor at least in the whole world. A four
inch plate representing some OF the side
armor of the battle ship Kearsarge-that
well up on the bows-was fired at with a
fiye-inch gun. Not long ago a shot was
calculated as able to penetrate completely
an armor plate one and half times as
thick as it's caliber. In other words, q
five-inch shot would penetrate plate seven
and a half inches thick. This four-inch
plate, however, not only kept the shot out.
but IL smashed IL mp. and the only mark
LETT on the plate was a slight dishing in
the center not more than half an inch deep.
This passed the plate. Then another shot
was taken at il 10 ascertain the power re-
quired to perforate the plate This was
accomplished only by giving the shot the
high velocity of 1885 feet per second, and
even then the plate was not cracked.
