WILL FURNISH ARhOR.
The Newport News Yard TO supply the pi"'
mond Plates for the Battle->hips.

NEWPORT NEWS, VA, August Is
Special-The Newport News Shipnuila-
ing and Dry Dock Company which IS
constructing the battleship Illinois mas
notified the Navy Department at WASH
lngton that rather than wait TIL an agree
men IS reached between the government
and the manufacturers OF armor plate IL
will furnish the thirty tons of armor re-
qured for the diagonal plates OF the YES
sci and II Is expected that the contract
will be signed next week
This offer was made In order that the
work OF building the battleship may not
be DELAYED. According 10 the terms or
the contract the government IS required
to furnish the armor but the Senate
Committee Of Naval Affairs and the man
ufaoturers Of the plates ara at logger
heads over the price TO be paid for the
armor The latter demanding AQO per
ton. while the former recommends that
only $500 be paid.
When Il was first announced that the
hitch had occurred II was stated that the
work ON the battleships under course OF
construction at the different shipbulding
plants in the United States would be
indefinitely delayed but this was mis-
take for with the exception Of the -FOUR
diagonal plates which the specifications
call for I'm each ship the hulls can ne
completed tried and towed 20 navy
yard and be kept there until such time
as Congress provides sufficient money FOR
the rest Of the armor which may be put
In place later
some time since William Cramp & Sons
of Philadelphia. offered TO furnish the
diagonal plates FOR the vessels they are
building and the propositions was ac-
cepted Now the local company has made
a similar proposition for the Illinois.
When put I'm position the diagonal plates
are invisible. They are used 70 pro-
tect the ship fore and aft. The failure
| OF Congress to appropriate more iunds
| for the armor did not affect the work
ON tho battleships Kentucky and Kear-
sarge as the plates OF these crafts had
been contracted for IN a former appro-
priatlon.
About 2 O'Clock yesterday morning two
negroes were discovered In the act OF

until a neighbor who was aroused by the

Money.

RICHMOND, VA, Aug. II, 1897.
1t is easy to make money when
all conditions point to a return OF
real and continued prosperity.
What are the facts2 We have
conservative administration. The
country will be governed in fair
ness to the interests of business
men. The tariff question IS set
tied. The political situation IS
such that nothing adverse can be
done with the currency question
Tor three years. Liquidation is
finished. Leading papers in Eu-
rope recognize the deficiency OF
their crops. The United States IS
the only country in a position to
furnish necessary supplies Elk
change has dropped sharply. Sc
curities have advanced handsome
~. Reactions are natural, healthy
and to be expected. The market
declined this week from, pre- to
three points, but promptly recov-
cred, and is now advancing.
In the great period Of bushes
revival from 1870 to 1881, when
money was Gearer. securities sold
much higher. Strong people may
combine to sell the market down
TO accumulate cheap stocks, but
the future is bright with promise,
and in our opinion all good securi-
ties are a purchase. There rarely
comes an occasion so favorable for
the making of money.

EGGS as Ammunition.

People in the little mountain town Of
Sharpsburg, Ky, have peculiar diver
sion known as egg throwing. The heav-
lest battles occur Oh Saturday night.
Jim Strong is the captain Of one egg
throwing band ard Bill Eversolc is the
captain of the ether. They have about
20 men each. Each man has 10 provide
himself with dozen eggs, and. Of
course, it is TO lis interest to buy them
where he can get them the cheapest.
AS no individual expects to be struck
by his own eggs, he does not require tho
dealer to candle them. In this way
the dealers in country produce here are
able TO realize at least cost price on
their sickest eggs
Last Saturday nights battle WAS a
glorious che Tho moon was shining,
and the boys lined up fer the fray about
o'clock Every member OF the two
companies was present. The captains
did not throw, simply directing the
movements Of their men. Each Ead his
full quota Of eggs when the battle be-
gan. The first volley was thrown by
Strong's men, and six men on the Evcr-
sole side were struck. Then the Evcr
soles began to throw eggs, and AZ tic
first vollcy seven Strong mCn were
marked. and one egg carried away The
cap of Captain Strong. Then the throw
ing became iGdiscrimiHate and 10 at
tempt ut voilev work was made
The sport did not cease until the en-
tire $50 eggs We're thrown. Nearly every
man had been plastered, and the cap
tains were regular omclcts from heal to
foot. 1t was decided that Strong $ mlcn
won the fight The most casual observer
passing along the street next morning
could have told there bad bc,.n IN c-g
battle, for the houses, sidewalks, fences
and curbstoncs were plastered with eggs
and shells. Chicago Record.
