CRAMP REFUSES.
Wouldn't Take the Contract for Furnishing
Armor Plate.

Wouldn't Take the Contract for Furnishing
Armor Plate.
Washington, August 5.-Charles
Cramp, of the shipbuilding firm of
Cramp & Sons, was at the navy de-
partment TODAY in conference with
Acting Secretary Roosevelt and Cap
tain O'Nelll, chief of the ordinance
bureau, to learn the intention of the
department in the matter of procuring
armor for the battleships now build
ing. The response of the Cramps to
Secretary Longs invitation to submit
proposals for supplying such armor as
they need for the ships they are build
ing was delayed by the absence from
the United States of Charles Cramp.
He has now made answer and, as
was expected, declines-to undertake
the task. He was not averse, however,
to undertaking to. supply a small
quantity of diagonal armor, amount
irg to about so tons for each ship, at
the maximum price allowed by con-
gress-$30O ton-his offer to do this
being based on the desire to prevent a
possible stoppage of work on the ships
owing to lack of this particular ar
N or, which must be worked into the
hull structure.

Who will get the new courthouse
contract? This is the current theme,
and gossip Is having full sway on the
subject. One of the rumors is that the
Brunswick bidders have made the
lowest offers, and another is that an
out-of-town firm has made a bid that
will win the job, hands down. No
one, however, except the county COM
missioners, can speak authoritatiyely.
Samples of buff brick and all sorts of
other building material, have been
pouring into Clerk Beaeh's office I'M
til Bill Berrie,ir Judge Lehman's pri-
vate secretary, has been put to his
wits end to find place to store them.
Bill says if this thing doesn't stop
pretty soon, Mr.. Beach will have g
builders supply house instead of a
clerks office Elm which case he will re-
sign at once and go back to goat
training.
Captain Risk, of the steamship Col
orado, talks very interestingly of the
performance of the battleship Maine
in East river the other day, when she
ran into float and came near collid-
ing with several boats. The Colorado
was swinging in the river at the time,
and was directly in the Names way.
The battleship, however, missed the
Mallory liner, and in order to miss an
excursion steamer, which was black
with people, ran into float, shaking
ten loaded freight cars. The navy de-
partment has exonerated the COM
mander of the Maine in the case, and
has applauded his presence of mind in
going into the float IN order to save
the lives of the people on board the
excursion steamer. The escape of the
Colorado was very fortunate. Captain
Risk says he is entirely too much in
love with Brunswick to consider vol
unfairly a proposition to charge TO
the Galveston line.
