An Invention or an Old Sea Captain from
which Much 10 Expected.

Capt. G. A. Chaddock. F. r. G. s.. q Liverpool
navigator OF thirty years experience In both
steam and sailing craft, has invented an appli-
ance which ought to be OF immense value to
shipowners and their crews all tho world over
in saving both life and property. The present
wooden matches, laid on from above, are easily
forced up by tho thrush Of water consequent
upon a hole being knocked in the bottom of a
vessel. the results being that she rapidly tips and
sinks. The telescope iron matches, which con.
stitute Capt. Chaddock's invention, are so
arranged that the pressure OF water
from below would, in such a contin.
gency, bind them moro tightly In their
places, precluding tho possibility OF the
water rising above the first deck. which forms a
platform or horizontal bulkhead. preventing
the ship from sinking and water from reaching
the cargo from above. The improvements give
more effective ventilation to prevent cargo
heating and sweating, and are also capable OF
being hermeticnlly seRled. SO ma TO neutraiize

Look Out, Tammany Indian! There's . Ruth

Col. Waring gave out the following statement
yesterday:
"Oct. 10 I wrote as follows to Col. Gardiner:

It was that you did say that gave rise to the rcport2
alt is only fair for mo to tell you that l have seen the
stenograph!c reports OF two OF the principal STE

"As for four days Col. Gardiner has paid no

(Col. Gardiner'sj opinion the streets OF this city could
have been kept clean for a 81. 900 less than had
been expended by ttr present Standardization.
"In 1896 this department spent on tho clean

The two stcnographers above referred to are
exceptionally competent and most reliable re-
portcrs. They took down Col. Gardeners words
rs they fell from his lips. One of them has the
following:
"Gcntlcmcn. when anybody speaks to you about

that they have been stealing ABOUT u million u year
on cleaning the streets.
