Ship and Engine Building Company, this
evening made the following statement re-
garding the accident to the BROOKLYN:
Secretary of the Navy Herbert this
evening telegraphed President. Charles
Cramp of our company instructing him
to take entire charge of. the repairs to the
Brooklyn, and push the work as rapidly
as-possible. -.
= The materials ordered for other war
vessels can be. used in making these re-,
pairs, which will result in the early COM
pletion: of the job. The wrecking tugs
and schooners will by daybreak to-mor-
row be alongside the Brooklyn to transfer
her stores, ammunition and coal, and this
will reduce her draft by more than two
feet thus enabling us to dock her at
League Island with ease. The drydock
will be pumped out tomorrow morning
to ascertain the condition of tine blocking
preparatory to docking, which will be
done at the earliest possible moment."'
The Cramps will do. the lighterinG;
dredging, towing and everything con-
nected in any way with the work of re-
pairs. The company's plans were all per-
feeted and not moment will be lost in
beginning the actual work of repairs The

WIDOWS WERE .AiS VICTIMS.
Postal authorities seAeys :Taer Have a
Se0undcel WHO Has Long Lirsd BY

:: NEW YORK, N. ", Feb. 1.-The post
office authorities believe that in the man
who calls himself Dir. George T. Sherwood,
who is locked up pending examination in
the Hudson County Jail in. Jersey City,
they have mail swindler whom they
have been pursuing for years and who
very likely had made a fortune by his
operations.
DR.. Sherwood was arrested in Passa&
on Saturday as ne was removing his bulky
mali from his private letter-box. His
scheme consisted in following death
notices in newspapers in remote parts of
the country and at once addFe ssing letters
to men who had just died, saying he had
attended friend OF theirs whose illness
had terminated fatally and that this friend
had left them a legacy in the form OF an
insurance on his. life, amounting to few
hundred dollars, which he had asked him
as his physician to turn over to the per-
son addressed. The letter closed by ask
ing directions for forwarding the money.
letter, generally signed by the widow,
would come by return mail, as usual
thing informing Dr. Sherwood that the
person to whom he had written was dead
Then the next step would be 10 write to
the widow or whoever had replied to
his first letter saying that the money
would go 10 the widow or next of kin of
the beneficiary.
He explained, however, that the policy
was In mutual benefit association and
the premiums were little behind-per-
haps Sl2 or SIS. DR.. Sherwood would in
form the widow that he had enough in
huence to save the policy if the amount OF
the premiums were forthcoming at once.
III the money was sent-and the postoffice
officials say that many complaints re-
ceived showed that it was-that was the
end OF the transaction.
When Sherwood was caught he had in
his possession, it is said, about hundret
letters he had just taken from his mail
box. All OF them were from Iowa, and
more than fifty from the city OF Des
Moines. They have not been opened.
Com missioner Roe thinks from his man
ner and conversation that Sherwood is a
young Englishman of good family, who
has undertaken to live by lis wits.
He declined to answer any questions
about himself and was committed in de-
fault OF $1,000 bail until Thursday morn
ing, by which time the papers in the case

tary Herbert has accepted an offer
promptly made by the Cramps to-day,
through Lewis Nixon. to make the cruiser
Brooklyn, as good as new in the shortest
time possible at actual cost. The Cramps
are deeply concerned in the welfare of
the vessel, which is'of their own construc-
ton and for. which they will not be fully
paid until the vessel has received her final
inspection at sea in the next few months.
Mr.. Cramp visited the ship before hurrying
to Washington with the proposition, and
found that about 125 feet of the outer
plating on either side of the keel had
been bent, rivets sheared off and plates
ripped away in many places. He says all
necessary tugs and lighters will be along
side the vessel tonight getting out the
coal, ammunition and heavy stores to
make the ship light enough to pass over
the ledges on her return trip up the river

churches in the section referred 20. II is an e1-
cellent field for Mr.. Moody to work in. do no:
desire TO say a word OF blame against Gods
children anywhere: but the fact appears to be-
that the pastors and people generally need the
work OF Mr.. Moody 10 quicken and lift them up
spiritually. There is q desire among many
Christians for more Christ in the churches than
the pastors give; consequently they will go
where they can get good rich strong food. instead
OF the milk for babes. Really the place TO begin
work to-day is at the house OF God. and especially
begin with the pastors Many Christians are
getting tired OF the spiritual condition OF tho
churches and are glad 10 take up with any
better spiritual movement which comes along.
II Dr.: Macarthur and others will kindly be en-
treated. let me say. brethren. there is plenty of
room higher up. Study Gods word; yield your
selves wholly 10 obey it: preach it, and you win
