DEFIED THE ADMIRALTY COURT.
A British Captain Outruns Officers at
Queenstown.


Queenstown, Nov. 1S.-Something in the
nature of a sensation has been caused here
by the extraordinary conduct of Capt
Johnston, commander of the British
steamer Briardene, which arrived here on
Oct. p from New York extensively dam
aged by severe weather, during which she
was almost submerged for ten days. Since
that time the Briardene has been repairing
for passage West The Briardene was
arrested this morning by a marshal of
the Admiralty Court for debt and baiiff
was placed on board her. The captain de-
termined 10 defy the court and started
for Delaware breakwater. But the pilot,
who was on board, refused 90 navigate the
ship out of the harbor, with the result
that the captain attempted to do so and
grounded the Briardene off Haul Bow
Line. Two hours later she was floated off.
In the meantime the admiralty court Off
ciais communicated with the admiral in
charge of this station and the latter sent
a steam pinnace TO intercept the Briar-
dene. The pinnace met the Briardene as
the latter was passing out of Queens
town harbor at full speed and ordered
her to stop.
The captain of the steamer paid no at
tention TO the summons, but continued on
his way to sea as fast as the engines of
the Brardene could drive, with the little
pinnace following in pursuit.
The chase was watched by excited
crowds ashore. Off Spike Island the Briar-
dene had completely outdstanced the pin
mace and the latter gave up the pursuit.

THAT BLOWOUT.
A Navarro Republican Writes About
1t and Gives Some Lively
Details of the Affair,

The following, from a prominent
Navarro Republican, is concerning the
recent spontaneous outburst of enthu-
siasm concerning the departure of Hon
John Thomas. Our correspondent says;
Navarro, March 8, 1898.
A couple Of our sports conceived an idea
of having a jolly time, so r. G. said unto
]. H., How about having blow out at
the expense of Johnny Thomas9" So in
consulting each other they came to the
conclusion they could have a nice little
time by giving their scheme to the band
boys. So they went at once to the band
boys and made known their plans, which
was agreed to by the boys with q whoop
and tiger for the blowout The chief,
in great glee, mustered the boys together,
and with a sonorous command of "For-
ward march" and a quickstep air played
by the band, they at once took themselves
to Canada, in the suburbs of our village,
to the home Of Mr.. Thomas. Upon the
band arriving there they played as they
never played before. The Grand Army
Band would not have been in It, Mr..
Thomas made his appearance with bow
and graceful gesture. Cries for speech
from the little band Of throats was asked
Of Mr. Thomas, which was made. In
the absence Of a store box, Johnny made
his oily address from the walk, which
brought forth fearful JOY from the little
group and cheers for Mr.. Thomas from
their now very dry throats. One Of the
boys seemed rather impatient and whis-
pered to another, "This is rather dry. :"
Could not stand the pressure, as he
thought IL about time to have some
thing. So honest John invited the boys
up TO the Hotel Buss, where the sub
stanti al stuff was partaken Of Bill Of
fare; Beer, limburger, blind robins and
bologna with cider for wrench, cigars
and all other things usually to be had in
first class place were furnished. After

Dominick Tyler was in court at s
O'Clock Saturday morning to receive his
sentence for the crimes of forgery to
which he. pleaded guilty Friday, Mr..
Tyler was accompanied by his counsel,
Hon. h. 5. Shields, and by W. J. Piero.
Prosecuting Attorney Pomerene moved
for sentence, and Judge MoCarty asked
Mr.. Tyler to staud up. The court re-
ferred to the offenses for which defendant
had been indicted, and then asked If he
had anything to say.
my attorney, Mr.. Shields, will speak
for me, replied Mr.. Tyler, resuming his
sat at the suggestion of the court.
Mr.. Shields said in substance: It, has
often occurred to me that it must be un-
pleasant for man to be compelled to
wait in suspense for sentence that must
come after pleading guilty to crime.
Attorneys when assigned to criminal
cases oftentimes come in contact with
people they never before saw In this
case there comes condition entirely
different. The man now awaiting
sentence is one who has gone in and out
before us for years reaching back of the
memories of most of us. Mr.. Tyler has
for sixty years or more made his home in
Canton, and now, after having lived out
what is to most of us considered our
allotment of years, he comes before a
court of justice to receive a penitentiary
sentence. Twelve months ago, who
would not have said anything in behalf
of Mr.. Tyler if called upon to do so? At
that time no breath of suspicion rested
upon him. But the escutcheon of his
good record suddenly became tarDished,
and to lay Mr. Tyler comes to hear a SEN

and emphasized the fact that they had
been paid in full-not dollar was out

form, " continued counsel, land 1 know
it must be painful to pass sentence upon
such as Mr.. Tyler" Mr., Shields con-
cluded by asking the court not to ovtr-
look the ripe years of the prisoner at bar.
SENTENCE IMPOSED.
Mr.. Tyler then stood up to receive his
sentence. Judge McCarty stated that it
was indeed painful duty to pass SEN
