Perry, who murdered three members
of the Sawyer family in Douglas coun-
tv, May eO, was hanged at Ava Satur-
day afternoon. Thousands of excited
people were in the town, but only 200

clamor for the destruction of the stock
ade went up, but the officers kept of
the crowd with Winchesters.
Perry parted from his mother at 1
o'clock. He was then taken to a band
stand where the Rev. j. H. Bridges
made statement in his behalf, in
which it was stated that he was not
afraid to die. He said that the former
statements he had made, connecting
his uncle, William Yost, with the
crime. were true.
Perry was pronounced dead fifteen
minutes after the drop fell, death re-
sulting from strangulation.
The only telegraph wire into Ava
was cut early in the day to prevent
the possible sending of any message
which might save Perrys neck.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3O.-By the de-
cisive vote of 46 to 4, the Senate

commissioners to an international

listed against the bill, the only division
being as to the expediency of seeking
bimetallism through international
agreement. Voicing the general view
of the Democrats, Mr.. Jones and Mr..
German favored it's adoption exactly
as the Republicans desired, in order
that the responsibility might be theirs.
Mr.. HOars speech attracted attention,
and was one of the most noteworthy
utterances of :he veteran senator made
in years. He spoke of his observations
in Europe during last summer. his
agreeable discussions with Mons.
Meline and Bourgereau in Paris and
Mr. Balfour in London on the advance
of bimetallism. Mr.. IIoar expressed
the conviction that four great nations

ON A SUNKEN ROCK.
THE BIG WARSHIP BROOK
LYN DISABLED.
Lies Helpless In tho Delaware River Near
Marcus Hook, Pa.-Was tho Pride Of
tho American Navy and Cost Uncle Sam
$1,000. ooo-Was Her First Trip.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 1.-The United
States steamship Brooklyn, the latest
pride of the American navy, calculated
to Withstand the fiercest onslaughts
of shot and shell, lies almost utterly
helpless because of q narrow ledge of
sunken rock in the Delaware river
above Marcus Hook, Pa, on which she
struck heavily Saturday afternoon.
Her lower double compartments, for
ward, were completely stove in, and
it was only by the merest good for
tune that the big vessel did not nix.
This would undoubtedly have cen
the result had oot her inner compart-
ments successfully withstood the
shock. AS it was. she was pulled clear
of the rocks, and is now tied to the big
stone ice breakers at Marcus hook,
protected from the heavy ice gorges in
mid-river.
The big vessel is seriously damaged,
and it is impossible to say when she
will be able to GO into active service.
At present she is in no danger of fur
ther damage, being fully protected in
the safe anchorage afforded by the ice
breakers. How the accident occurred
can only be established by court of
inquiry, and this Captain Cook of the
Brooklyn has already asked for.
The exact place where the vessel
struck was on Schooner Ledge rock,
between Chester and Marcus Hook, at
about las o'clock. What makes the
accident more deplorable is the fact
that this was the first time the ship
had been handled by the present
officers and crew since going into COM
mission, in the early part of December.
The Brooklyn is the latest and most
modern pattern of an armored cruiser
in the navy. and was launched at
Cramps shipyard October 2. She is
the only vessel in the navy having a
complete electrical apparatus for NOV
ing her turrets. Her cost. exclusive of
armament, was s2,9s6. 900. Her bat
terry consists of eight eight-inch breech
loading rifles of 35-caliber; twelve five
inch breech loading rifles of the rapid
fire type; twelve six-pound rapid fire
fire guns; four one-pounder rapid fire
guns. and four machine guns.
